Elder brother's garrison

Page 263

"Can't sleep either?"

"It's alright," Sukhbaatar shook his head.

Odin's story is a bit complicated, so Sukhbaatar chose to skip the topic altogether.

“Speaking of which, young lady, it’s fate that we met here. Didn’t I say last time that I owe you a favor?” Sukhbaatar released his ship equipment.

Sukhbaatar's transformed state can last for a very long time, so even now, Sukhbaatar's ship equipment is in its transformed state.

Seeing the fortress-like ship rigging carried behind Sukhbaatar, Xiaobai paused, "Lord Sukhbaatar, what is this...?"

"Oh, you haven't seen this before, have you? This is my ship equipment." Sukhbaatar smiled, then reached out and snapped off a piece from the ship equipment behind him, handing it to Xiaobai. "Here, this is for you."

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at the lump of steel in her hand that was radiating a faint heat, and didn't know how to react for a moment. "Lord Su, how did you transform?"

"Maybe I'll transform after looking at the moon too much," Sukhbaatar said, retracting his ship's equipment.

"The only people who can transform by looking at the moon are werewolves and Saiyans..."

"Hahahaha!" Sukhbaatar laughed as he patted Little White's waist, without replying.

Sukhbaatar eventually returned to his room, leaving Little White standing alone in the corridor, staring blankly at the metal object in his hand.

After arriving at the beach, Xiaobai confirmed that she did indeed have the ability to draw power from deep-sea metal or from special parts of deep-sea or ship girls, such as the horn of the deep-sea Yamato or the deep-sea metal of Pachina. Xiaobai could eat these and gain some subtle attributes.

Furthermore, this allows one to build a special connection with the ship girls who are eaten.

In short, it seems that eating these things is not harmful to a novice.

Of course, eating ordinary ship equipment won't work, but Sukhbaatar's ship equipment is different. After activating the skill, Xiaobai can feel a sensation from her ship equipment that is very similar to deep-sea metal.

—Something inexplicably made Xiaobai feel that this thing was edible.

"Honestly, I'm not usually a glutton." Xiaobai walked to the window in the corridor, holding the ship equipment that looked like a discus. While looking at the moon in the sky, she brought the ship equipment of Sukhbaatar to her mouth.

"Crack."

The hard metal became brittle when it touched Xiaobai's teeth.

Little White chewed while looking at the sky.

"Hmm, Yamato-neechan's is grape flavored, and Pachina's is blueberry flavored."

"Lord Su's is wheat biscuits."

The girl muttered to herself as she crunched away.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

This was just a minor incident during Xiaobai and his group's journey.

With the last train, Xiaobai and his group arrived at Kyoto's train station.

A dozen or so beautiful ship girls got off the train with Xiaobai, crowding together like a tour group of pretty girls, creating a refreshing scene in the crowded station.

Lexington was at the front, surrounded by a group of ship girls. They walked out of the train station peacefully under the watchful eyes of the passersby.

Kyoto is the capital of this country and home to numerous important institutions. Take ship girls, for example: the ship girl technology modification plant is located here, as are the ship equipment research institute and the research and development sites for new ship girls.

The other important institutions are even more numerous, especially as you move closer to the city center.

Xiaobai and his group took several taxis and drove for more than half an hour in Kyoto before finally arriving at their destination.

That's where Yubari works, the Ship Equipment Research Center.

Xiaobai and Lexington got out of the car and saw a huge building in front of them, as big as a factory, with the words "Naval Equipment Research Center" embossed in gold lettering on the gate.

"Lexington, what does the Ship Equipment Research Center do?" Xiaobai asked as he followed Lexington inside.

"The research on ship equipment, the modification of ship girl ship equipment, um, the one that turned Kokang into Changchun, was researched here," Lexington explained to Xiaobai.

"Oh, oh..." Xiaobai immediately felt a deep respect for this organization.

I never expected that there would be ship girls working in this strange place in my own naval base.

As they were talking, Lexington and Xiaobai arrived at the building's entrance. After a staff member came up and asked about Lexington's identity, he let Xiaobai and his group in.

It seems that Lexington must have made arrangements beforehand.

The sudden arrival of such a group of ship girls at the factory was quite eye-catching, so the staff first led Xiaobai and the ship girls to a resting place, allowing Xiaobai to settle her ship girls before proceeding as quietly as possible without causing a disturbance.

So, after leaving the ship girls in the conference room, Shiro and Lexington walked down the corridor.

"Speaking of Lexington, what should we say when we run into Yubari later?"

"Um... Hello, I'm your new admiral, my name is Lu Lin, nice to meet you." Lexington said to Xiaobai.

"It's that simple."

"I just came to say hello. That girl Yubari, even though the new admiral has been here for so long, she hasn't come back even once."

Lexington had also been renovated, so she was very familiar with the place. After finding out where Yubari was, she skillfully led Shiro through several corridors and stairwells to an office.

Calling it an office might be a bit inaccurate, because the door is quite large, and next to the door is a wardrobe with several white vests neatly arranged in plastic resealable bags inside.

“Although this place isn’t off-limits to outsiders, there are quite a few instruments inside, so wear those when you go in,” Lexington said, pointing to the clothes in the wardrobe.

Xiao Bai nodded, then found a traditional Chinese jacket inside and put it on.

After confirming that everything was alright, Xiaobai opened the door and went inside.

Lexington, however, remained outside the room with a mysterious smile, waiting for Xiaobai.

As soon as Xiaobai entered this so-called office, he was shocked by what he saw inside.

She directly rejected the term "office".

This room is so big that it's more like a workshop than an office.

A row of huge tables in the middle was filled with all sorts of documents, along with a series of square, multicolored, and strange instruments.

There happened to be a woman in the room with long pink hair piled up, bending over and looking back and forth at a bunch of instruments in front of her, while writing on a piece of paper in her hand.

She saw Xiaobai enter the room, put down her pen, and walk towards her.

Lexington shouldn't have led us astray, so this should be Yubari, right?

After all, such a young and beautiful researcher could only be a ship girl.

Shiro watched as Yubari walked up to her and bowed, saying, "Hello, I'm your new..."

"A new assistant, right?" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, the girl in front of her interrupted her, reaching out to pick up a file from the side and placing it in front of Xiaobai. "Time is tight, so take a look at this first."

With a thud, a thick stack of documents was tossed into Xiaobai's hands.

"Huh?" Shiro looked at Yubari with a confused expression.

My advisor called me to discuss my graduation project today, so I haven't had time to update. *sigh*

I'm desperate too.

Chapter 333 uttered an amazing sound

"Read the first ten pages first. If you want to rest, go sit over there for a while. If you're thirsty, there's coffee next to the door. If you're hungry, help yourself." Yubari seemed to value time very much, not giving Shiro a chance to reply, and said quickly, "Turn right after you leave the restroom and walk seventeen meters. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me, but I will only explain it to you three times an hour. That's it. Let me know when you're done reading."

After saying that, Yubari turned around, walked back to the table with all sorts of instruments, and continued to bury himself in his research.

Xiao Bai held the document in his hands, feeling its heavy weight, and fell into deep thought.

She is trying her best to understand the current situation.

The person in front of him should be Yubari. As someone with access to the Admiral Network, Shiro could sense the aura emanating from the ship girl in front of him.

However, it seems that Yubari mistook himself for someone else.

Xiao Bai looked down at the white jacket she was wearing, then turned back to look at the closed door.

"What are you standing there for?" Just then, Yubari, who was engrossed in her research, turned around and looked at Shiro. She seemed quite dissatisfied with Shiro's slow start. "Look!"

Xiao Bai quickly opened the document in his hand.

Seeing that Shiro was slowly reading, Yubari turned his head back.

My assistant has been getting more and more unreliable lately. I thought it would be better after I switched to a different assistant, but the new one is so fussy even when looking at a document.

Could it be that they brought over some recent apprentices or something?

Yubari sighed inwardly.

Sending the assistant back at this point would only further disrupt my work, so let her work for one more day.

Yubari shook his head, focusing his attention on the machine in front of him.

After watching Yubari gradually focus her attention, Shiro, who had been observing Yubari while looking at the documents, slowly put down the documents in her hand.

Xiaobai wanted to find an opportunity to explain her position, but seeing Yubari's serious expression, Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed to interrupt her.

It seems that Yubari's research is stuck at a very important point.

Xiao Bai looked down at the documents in his hand.

The document in her hand contained a dense array of data about a ship girl's equipment, ranging from the size and firepower of the equipment to its adaptability in various environments. It used a lot of technical terms, things that the eyes could clearly see but the brain refused to understand.

Xiaobai quickly flipped through a few pages and looked at the next one.

The document then shows a hand-drawn breakdown of the ship's equipment, with each component meticulously depicted.

Even a complete novice like me can see the professionalism in this.

Xiao Bai nodded as she flipped through the pages.

The last part of the document contains a large amount of text.

After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of this ship equipment and weighing the pros and cons, two solutions were proposed: one to make up for the shortcomings, and the other to further amplify the advantages. For each solution, there were several implementation methods, and for each solution, almost all possible problems were written out in detail, along with solutions.

As Xiaobai read it, he was deeply impressed by the high level of skill of the person who wrote the document.

Hmm! I don't understand!

But I think it's amazing!

"What are you looking at the back of the page for?" Just then, Yubari, who was engrossed in her research, seemed to still be worried about Shiro. She turned her head to look at Shiro and found that Shiro had not looked at the first ten pages she had asked her to look at, but was looking at the back of the page with great interest. She immediately got angry.

Xiao Bai quickly closed the file in her hand: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

Seeing Shiro's apologetic expression, Yubari opened his mouth, but then kept it closed.

Yubari is generally a very good-tempered person, but researchers tend to be short-tempered when they're doing research. She hired an assistant to help her, not to hinder her or just cheer her on. The first ten pages Yubari showed the newbie were mostly data on the ship girls and their equipment; if he didn't familiarize himself with that beforehand, he wouldn't be able to help with the later operations.

We hired an assistant, not a student or an old man. Is it really okay for you to be watching so enthusiastically?

Yubari raised his hand and turned on the computer screen beside him: "Let's do modeling first."

Xiaobai looked at the computer screen that Yubari had opened and found that it was full of things he had never seen before.

"You know how to do modeling, right?" Yubari asked.

"Uh..." Xiaobai blushed and didn't dare to reply.

"You don't know?!" Yubari's eyes widened in surprise.

“…I’m sorry…” Xiaobai covered her face.

Are you a recent college graduate intern?

"No... I meant to..."

"Never mind, I'll build it." Yubari waved his hand, invited Shiro to his seat, then lifted his white jacket, sat down in the chair, and began to work quickly on the floor plan on the screen.

Watching Yubari's mouse move rapidly across the 3D model on the screen, she slowly drew a vivid 3D ship's equipment using the software tools.

"Amazing!" Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Sit down, basic operation." Yubari gave Shiro a strange look.

Even if you're not skilled at modeling, you shouldn't be completely clueless. Did those old men above lose their minds to send such a newbie who can't even do modeling to their side?

Yubari now wants to get rid of people.

"Fine, come over here and read the data to me..." Yubari sighed helplessly, his face making no attempt to hide his disappointment in Shiro.
