Elder brother's garrison

But after that, Xiaobai directly proved them wrong with facts.

Just seconds before, they had been mocking the ship girl technology as a child's fantasy. The final result, the ship girl herself, was standing right in front of them, looking almost a hundred times more complete than themselves. This made all the staff blush with embarrassment.

—Your research is indeed useless, because our ship girl technology has already been successfully developed. Instead of wasting time researching that mecha technology that may never be completed, let's work together to promote the ship girl technology that we already have products of (referring to ourselves).

Only then did the staff truly understand the real meaning of what Xiaobai had just said.

"...What exactly do you want? Haven't your ship girls already been made?" The staff looked at the incredibly cool crystal ship equipment behind Xiaobai and were deeply confused.

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up: "Ah, actually we do want that, I want those large energy..."

"You really did come here to save humanity!" shouted another staff member excitedly, who was thrilled to see the massive ship equipment behind Xiaobai. "You came out of the city to help those of us outside, because you wanted to distribute this technology to other humans as soon as possible!"

"Eh?"

"You are all so great!"

"Ah... um, um, saving humanity... but if there are energy beings..."

"That's amazing! That's outstanding! I apologize for my rudeness just now, I apologize for my shortsightedness before! I'm sorry!" Then the staff members all bowed their heads to Xiaobai and Linglan, their sincere apologies coalescing into a powerful force, and kept shouting to Xiaobai.

Scientists are often like this: although they may seem stubborn, when reality is presented as data and slapped hard in their faces, they are often the first to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

The staff's apologies and cheers immediately drowned out Xiaobai's voice.

In the end, Xiaobai had no choice but to give up and accept the apologies from the group of people in front of him with his head down.

The cheers and apologies from the staff gradually subsided after a long time. They picked up the report from the ground and asked Shiro and Suzuran, "What level has your ship girl technology reached?"

"Performance? Oh... defeating the deep sea is absolutely no problem." Xiaobai nodded and said.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, the staff members' excitement was palpable. They immediately looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Then, may we witness the combat power of the ship girls?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Fight." As the staff member spoke, the heads of the Unit-01 units kneeling on the ground behind them lit up in a flash. After saying this, many of the young staff members threw off their white coats, revealing their bodysuits, as if they were about to step into the body of Unit-01.

"Fight...fight?!" Xiaobai was stunned.

"To be honest, our research on these Unit-01s is not yet complete, and indeed, our research has recently hit a rather awkward roadblock: controlling the Unit-01s is extremely difficult. Although we have considered the possibility of autopilot to overcome this problem, the limitations of our current technology prevent us from doing so, and it is also very easy for the Unit-01s to go berserk..."

"Berserk...Berserk!"

"Hmm, it's alright, don't worry. We've tested it, and these Evangelion Units aren't strong enough to contend with the Abyssal Fleet. Since you're a ship girl who can defeat the Abyssal Fleet, dealing with these Evangelion Units shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"what……"

"In short, even if it's just to collect some data, please make us shameless folks give up and have a practice run with our Unit-01!" The staff members said, bowing to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai's body stiffened. She looked up at the humanoid mechanical creatures standing behind the staff, their mechanical limbs exaggeratedly long and streamlined. Seeing the Evangelion Unit-01s staring at her with their bright red eyes, she swallowed hard.

—Xiaobai is very strong, Xiaobai has no choice but to admit it. Xiaobai's current ship equipment strength is indeed super strong. Perhaps she is even stronger than Saratoga in a stand-up fight. However, Xiaobai is also very bad. The reason she is bad is that she has no talent for fighting. In other words, she has no fighting spirit.

But seeing the hopeful looks in the staff's eyes, Xiao Bai gave a wry smile: "Fighting is fine, but at least you need the manager's permission... Where's your boss...?"

“I am the leader.” Before Xiaobai finished speaking, the black-haired boy who had been in the Evangelion Unit 1 and had interacted with Xiaobai and Linglan stepped forward. He reached out, put on the white coat handed to him by the staff next to him, and walked up to Xiaobai and Linglan. “Nice to meet you. My name is Muji, and I am the current lord of this city.”

Xiao Bai stared in shock at the boy named Muji in front of him.

"...Because my father is the city lord, and he's unwell, he's just giving me his position as acting lord," Muji explained to Xiaobai. "Anyway, can we begin the exercise?"

After speaking, Muji looked at Shiro with considerable anticipation. He seemed quite interested in the ship girls' combat capabilities.

"Uh... well, can you wait while I get ready?" Xiaobai asked nervously.

“Sure, we’ll do whatever you ask.” Muji nodded.

If it were just now, Xiaobai really wanted to ask for all her energy, but since she had already agreed to fight against the other party's Unit-01, Xiaobai was not in the mood for that right now. She nervously sorted out her feelings and then looked at Suzuran beside her.

Lily of the Valley next to Xiaobai was also looking at him expectantly.

—In the past, Xiaobai relied on overwhelming strength to win fights. Her combat power was actually not much higher than that of ordinary ship girls. After all, according to the ship girls, Xiaobai's current training level was probably only around level one, and her combat experience was also very low.

Xiao Bai sighed and closed her eyes.

The scorching heat and the smell of sand gradually disappeared from the open space, and the fragrance of grass began to permeate the air.

Xiao Bai opened her eyes and saw Deep Sea Will lying lazily in the middle of the grass on the large bed, wearing pajamas and exposing her snow-white thighs and toes, eating potato chips and reading a comic book, as if she hadn't seen Xiao Bai at all. Her mouth immediately drooped.

"Deep Sea Will! Help me!"

Chapter 471 My magic will tear you to pieces

It has been three months since the Deep Sea Will took up residence in Xiao Bai's body. When it first came to live in Xiao Bai's mental world, the Deep Sea Will had quite the demeanor of a deep-sea boss. It would sit in that rocking chair all day long, with a sullen expression, legs crossed, chin in hand, like a little emperor waiting to attend court, waiting for Xiao Bai to enter the mental world and beg it.

However, everything gets boring eventually. After realizing that Xiaobai was so innocent that he didn't consider himself an outsider at all, it would be really boring to continue acting like a little emperor as before.

So, at some point, the Deep Sea Will got bored in Xiao Bai's mental world. When it got tired of sitting, it would simply use its authority in the mental world to create a bed and lie down on it. When it got tired of wearing the same clothes, it could conjure up all sorts of new clothes to wear. In short, anything Xiao Bai had seen could be conjured up in the mental world. However, after trying on different clothes, it still felt that pajamas were the most comfortable. And then, at some point, the Deep Sea Will turned into what it is now.

"Crunch." The Will of the Deep Sea took a bite of potato chip, its red eyes coldly glancing at Little White, then it rolled over, its waterfall-like red hair covering its body like water as it swam to the other side.

"Deep Sea Will, do you know what's happening outside? Can you help me?" Little White showed no awareness that Deep Sea Will didn't want to talk to her at all. Instead, she still moved closer to Deep Sea Will's bedside, leaning against the headboard and asking Deep Sea Will.

"Crunch." The Will of the Deep Sea ignored Little White and continued chewing on the potato chips.

"I can't fight. I only bully some lazy deep-sea amphibious ships that have just landed. You're really good at fighting. You helped me control the ship's equipment last time. Can you help me again?" Xiaobai asked.

The Deep Sea Will gave Little White another cold glance, then got out of bed, turned around, and still ignored Little White.

"Please, there are a lot of people watching outside." Xiaobai reached out and kept pushing against the soft body of the Deep Sea Will.

Deep Sea Will finally got annoyed by Little White. She sighed, reached out and wiped the potato chip crumbs off her lips, then sat up in bed.

"Do you still know who I am?" the Will of the Deep Sea asked, pointing to itself.

"The will of the deep sea."

"You still know I am the Will of the Deep Sea?" The Will of the Deep Sea looked coldly at Little White. "Then do you know who's around you?"

"Uh... scientist uncles and scientist brothers?"

"So what are you doing now?"

"The data from the experimental ship girl..." Xiaobai replied.

"What do we do with the data from the experimental ship girls?"

"Uh... create... a ship girl to defeat the deep sea?"

Deep Sea Will crossed her legs in front of Xiaobai, leaned against the headboard, and placed her arms on the edge of the headboard, adopting a standard newbie sitting posture: "Then continue, tell me why I want to help you?"

Xiaobai fell silent, then pinched the hem of her clothes with a hint of grievance: "Didn't you help me so well before?"

"I, the will of the deep sea, have done whatever I wanted throughout my life. I wanted to help then, but I don't want to now."

Little White pitifully raised its head to look at the Will of the Deep Sea.

The Will of the Deep Sea snorted softly: "Then bark like a dog."

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Don't you have any dignity?" the Deep Sea Will asked Little White.

"Because I'll be able to go home soon!" Xiaobai clasped her hands together and pleaded with the Deep Sea Will before her, "Deep Sea Will, don't you want to go home too?"

"Whether you go back or not is none of my business. I'm going to be locked up here by you for the rest of my life anyway." The Will of the Deep Sea snorted again. "Even if you go back, my treatment won't be any different."

The will of the deep sea is so right that Xiaobai is speechless.

Xiao Bai stroked the headboard, her disappointment and grievances evident in her expression.

"...Then promise me one thing, and I'll help you if you do." The Will of the Deep Sea and Little White were silent for a while before the Will of the Deep Sea slowly spoke.

"Okay!" Xiaobai nodded.

"I haven't said what it is yet." Deep Sea Will placed the comic book in front of Xiaobai. "When you get back, finish reading the last few volumes of this comic book and give them to me."

The comic book that Deepsea Will placed in front of Xiaobai happened to be Tirpitz's "YuruGirls". Xiaobai had accidentally browsed through the first volume of it when he was at the Yuxiu Comic Con.

As mentioned before, the Deep Sea Will knows everything that Xiaobai has seen, and as the core of the spiritual world, this space with infinite creativity can also replicate everything that Xiaobai has seen.

So it's not surprising that the ship girls from the first volume of this book appear here.

Little White stared at the comic book in front of him with his mouth agape.

"That's quite interesting. For the next few volumes, get that pink-haired ship girl who's always playing games at home to draw faster," Deep Sea Will said to Shiro while lying on the bed. "Got it?"

"..." Little White never expected that even the Will of the Deep Sea would be interested in this. "Do you...like watching this?"

"How could I possibly like human things? I'm just looking for something to do when I'm bored." Deep Sea Will patted the bed, and a few more pages appeared in her hand. "I'd also like to see this one. Tell her to draw it quickly."

Xiao Bai looked over and froze completely.

The papers that Deepsea Will is holding this time are the R18 version of the ship girl that Tirpitz once drew. Back then, she was caught by Shiro while drawing them, and in the end, Shiro used Shiro's righteous paper shredder to destroy those drafts.

However, even though that thing was completely shattered later, Xiao Bai still glanced at it. With Xiao Bai's memory, the image of the protagonist who was so similar to himself falling into depravity on the last two pages was successfully and deeply imprinted in Xiao Bai's mind, so the Will of the Deep Sea saw it.

"..." Xiaobai looked at the draft slapped in front of him and fell silent.

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes," the Deep Sea Will reminded him.

Xiao Bai nodded, then shed tears of humiliation.

Then, Xiaobai left the spiritual world and opened her eyes in the real world.

The staff in the real world, who were waiting for Xiaobai to open her eyes and prepare herself, saw that Xiaobai was finally ready. Just as they were about to ask when, Xiaobai wiped away her tears, patted her chest with a tragic expression, and then shouted at the Evangelion Unit-01s in front of her.

"Okay, I'm ready. Come at me all at once!"

"Oh, alright then, Miss Ship Girl, shall we begin?" Although the staff didn't understand why Xiaobai looked so grief-stricken and indignant when she opened her eyes again after just closing them for a short rest, they figured she might just be the type of person who is naturally more emotional, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Many staff members took off their white coats and crawled into the bodies of Unit-01, which was kneeling on the ground behind them. Then, a group of mechanical men stood up from the ground with a grotesque tremor.

Looking at the mechanical giants standing up in front of him, Xiao Bai felt a subtle change in his fear. Compared to what he might lose in the future, nothing in front of him mattered anymore.

She severed control of her ship's equipment, just as she had previously abandoned her carrier-based aircraft, allowing the Deep Sea Will to take over.

"Miss Ship Girl? Come to think of it, your mecha is more like a ship, isn't it? Does it need to fight on the high seas?"

"No need, it's fine on land too," Xiaobai said.

The staff nodded in agreement, inwardly praising the advanced technology. Then, those who didn't board Unit-01 ran quickly with Suzuran to the edge of the arena, looking at Shiro standing motionless in the middle of the arena and the ship equipment behind her.

Being surrounded right from the start is quite tense.

The staff waited for a while and found that Xiaobai had no intention of changing his position. Instead, he had a sad expression that said, "I'm going to fight ten of them," so the Unit-01s surrounded Xiaobai.

"Stand up! Salute! The duel begins!" Someone, a staff member, shouted loudly through a megaphone.

Then, the Unit-01s surrounding Shiro rushed towards Shiro at lightning speed, following the sound.

The ideal state of Unit-01 is that of large robots controlled by human warriors, possessing super destructive power and agility, and equipped with large weapons such as guns, cannons, and swords. Even though it is just an unfinished product, when a dozen Unit-01s charge together towards the much slender girl and ship equipment in the middle, it still looks quite fierce.

However, at that moment, a crimson light shone brightly on Xiaobai's ship equipment, just like the sun.

A strange sound wave emanated directly from the ship's rigging, instantly engulfing the entire open space. The staff members controlling the machinery inside Unit-01 felt a chill creep up their spines, as if they had been roared at by some dangerous beast, and their entire bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Then, the machine beneath me seemed to have its strings cut, and all its movements slowed down considerably.

"Huh? What's going on? It won't lift up." One of the staff members tried to control the robot to lift the weapon in its hand, but the robot's response was extremely slow. He hurriedly patted the control panel and raised its head.

Then, he witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life.

A large number of carrier-based aircraft, burning with blue flames, were launched from the ship's rigging of the girl in front of her. With a strong roar, they stirred up layers of heat waves and charged towards her and her prototype with an unstoppable momentum.

"Boom boom boom boom—" The plane did not attack the staff in the center, but merely flew past the robot's two feet.

Then, those sturdy armor pieces were blasted into pieces by the blue bombs, as if they were made of paper.

Chapter 472 Me, a Novice, Drawing

A large number of bombers poured out of Xiaobai's ship equipment like a swarm of bees, changing shapes in the air and filling the sky. Blue flames instantly occupied the sky above this open space like a rain of fire, and then swarmed towards the robots below.

The booming explosions continued, and in just a few moments, the once-aggressive robots were all blasted to the ground, their limbs broken, unable to move at all.

This is all thanks to Deep Sea Will's superb and precise operation. Under her control, Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft did not harm any of the crew members. It only rendered the first units incapable of action and minimized the damage to them.

The battle ended so quickly that all the staff were left breathless.

They had indeed imagined they would lose, because in terms of completeness alone, Unit-01 was far from being researched and developed to the point where it could withstand the deep sea. In a sense, Unit-01 was more like a tool that only had the form but not the spirit. However, the ship girl in front of them was already a complete entity. Putting aside the combat power of the ship equipment, the girl inside the ship equipment alone, with her beautiful appearance and intelligence and rationality that allowed her to communicate normally with humans, had completely left their technology tree behind.

But they never expected to lose so quickly, so incredibly quickly, as if the mecha technology they and their predecessors had painstakingly researched for decades, built upon the legacy of their predecessors, was nothing but paper, utterly meaningless.

Xiao Bai watched as the carrier-based aircraft whizzed overhead, eventually shrinking and turning into streaks of fire as they returned to their ship's equipment.

The connection with the ship equipment that he had temporarily severed was slowly returned to Xiaobai's hands. Xiaobai put the ship equipment away, and then looked at the large pile of sparking robot fragments in front of him on the open ground. He then apologized to the staff standing in the distance, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I broke your precious product."

The staff members standing at the edge of the open space, preparing to record data points, were all stunned, like fools. They held pens and tapped the report in their hands, but for a moment they didn't know what to write.
