Elder brother's garrison

As Xiaobai was speaking, he suddenly stopped.

She narrowed her eyes, took a step forward, and approached the guided-missile ship's equipment.

Perhaps because the missile rig has not yet been reattached to the Missouri, the parts on the rig are slightly loose, and the brand-new parts inside can be seen through the white armor plates at the joints.

Inside the guided missile ship's hull... on those parts, something seemed to be flashing.

Xiao Bai squinted at the parts, and after seeing the glowing thing, he opened his eyes slightly.

Yeah.

these are……

Ella's family runes?

Oh.

Correct.

I remember that Lianlian had suggested to Yubari before that she wanted to use her knowledge of runes to help her modify the Missouri's ship equipment.

Rune knowledge is something that originally came from the ship girl construction device, and it is extremely profound. So it doesn't make any sense to use it on Missouri, who is a ship girl.

but……

Rune language...

Xiao Bai pinched his chin and subconsciously began to identify it.

The runic language on the Missouri ship's equipment is clearly understandable to a novice when viewed individually, but the runes are superimposed and combined to form complex rune strings that even a novice cannot recognize. It is obviously written by a highly skilled advanced user, whose level is at least ten steps higher than a beginner like me who can only memorize a large rune dictionary.

Xiao Bai spent a long time carefully examining the guided warship's equipment, but could only discern some meanings related to "joint enhancement," "rotational precision," and "power amplification" from a few relatively simple rune strings. Although he didn't quite understand their exact effects, he figured these runes probably had some benefits.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai withdrew its gaze upon seeing this, and was about to turn and leave when it quickly stopped, turned back thoughtfully, and looked at the guided warship, unable to move.

Although those rune strings were very well written and profound, from a novice's perspective, they had a major flaw.

That is……

The power contained within the rune itself is insufficient!

As we all know, the actual effect of runes is linked to the mental power infused by the writer. Although Xiao Bai's mastery of rune language is far inferior to Luo Lian's, in terms of the strength of what he writes, probably no one in the world can compare to him.

The runes in the guided warship's equipment are far from reaching their limit, and Xiaobai thinks he can definitely try to strengthen them.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai gently clasped his hands together and then gently placed them on the guided warship's equipment. His spiritual power then spread out, and he quickly checked the guided warship's equipment from the inside out, finding all the rune strings that were scattered throughout the guided warship's equipment.

Then, Xiaobai took a deep breath, and his mental energy, like a slightly turned-down faucet, slowly seeped into the guided warship equipment.

The rune strings within the guided warship's equipment were like dried-up wells, greedily devouring Xiaobai's mental energy upon encountering it. Moreover, perhaps due to the nature of the rune strings themselves, the upper limit of mental energy absorption for the rune characters within the guided warship's equipment was significantly higher than that for the rune words Xiaobai usually practiced writing. Xiaobai's conservative injection of mental energy was insufficient to satisfy the needs of these rune strings, and was instead completely devoured.

Xiao Bai stopped what he was doing and looked with slight surprise at the runes that were now shining brightly inside the guided warship's equipment.

The amount of mental energy Xiaobai just injected into the runes was almost equal to the amount she usually used when practicing calligraphy. She was worried that too much mental energy would overwhelm these rune strings, so she carefully controlled the amount of mental energy she injected. However, she never expected that these rune strings would consume so much mental energy.

Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows.

good thing.

It's all good.

Being able to eat is a blessing...

Since you all eat so much, I don't need to hold back anymore.

Xiao Bai released the constraints of his mental energy, allowing it to flow freely through the guide warship. In an instant, the torrent of mental energy transformed into an ocean, completely submerging the runes within the guide warship. These runes did not disappoint Xiao Bai; they were like dry wells on parched land, displaying immense tolerance in the face of the sudden ocean current.

Xiao Bai pursed her lips, somewhat wistful.

As expected of the rune string written by Luo Lian... She can eat so much, I feel like anyone else would be drained dry in no time.

The process of the rune strings absorbing spiritual energy lasted for nearly ten minutes. Finally, even though the rune strings were quite capable of absorbing, they were exhausted under Xiaobai's endless spiritual energy output, and gradually reached their limit. The dried-up well overflowed one by one.

Before the mental energy of these rune characters reached its limit, Xiao Bai quickly withdrew his hand, cutting off his own mental energy output.

"That should be about right..."

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, then turned his gaze back to the joints of the guide warship's equipment.

Inside the joints of the guided missile ship's hull, strings of wires shimmered like tiny suns, their light flickering for a long time before slowly fading and disappearing back into the steel of the hull.

Xiao Bai looked at the guided warship equipment with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and left.

however.

Just after Xiaobai left.

not far away.

In the bathtub where Missouri was, hot blue bubbles suddenly rose from the calm blue surface of the water.

Water vapor rises.

Chapter 2109 Crash—Part Four

Yubari sat at a computer desk in the modification workshop, munching on a steaming hot bun while intently watching strings of data flash across the screen. His mouth bulged out like a hamster's with each chew.

Food was not allowed in the ship girl's modification workshop.

After all, food scraps, once they fall into precision instruments, can easily cause errors in valuable measurement data, ultimately leading to a major accident. However, rules are usually only used to regulate inexperienced novices and prevent them from making mistakes. As an extremely experienced ship equipment designer, Yubari would naturally not make such a basic mistake as dropping food scraps. In addition, this is not a ship equipment research center, but the modification factory of the novice naval base, so the rules can be relaxed to a certain extent.

Yubari ate the buns one bite at a time, looking relaxed and content, as if it were her most familiar daily routine.

"Hmm... Could it be a problem with the guided missile ship equipment? The synchronization rate is still increasing a bit slowly." Yubari looked at the strings of data scrolling across the computer screen, swaying back and forth in the rocking chair.

"Yubari".

Shiro's voice rang out from behind Yubari.

"Oh, Admiral." Yubari leaned her head back in the chair, turned to the side, and greeted Shiro, who had walked up to her. She chuckled as she chewed on a steamed bun. "So, is your intimate encounter with Missouri over yet?"

"Haha, that's a wrap, right?" Xiaobai nodded with a smile, then his gaze lingered briefly on Yubari's chubby cheeks before settling on the half-eaten bun in her hand. "Huh? What's this bun...?"

"This? It's my breakfast today, though I didn't get to eat it until tonight." Yubari winked at Shiro. "It's filled with pickled mustard greens. Admiral, would you like a bite?"

"I'm not hungry yet," Xiaobai waved her hand. "You can eat slowly."

"That's true, it seems like the Admiral is eating meat and fish every day." Yubari muttered, bringing the steamed bun to his mouth, taking a big bite, and then staring at the computer screen, humming to himself.

Shiro followed Yubari's gaze and looked at the computer.

On Yubari's computer screen, there were seven or eight windows of various sizes. In the largest window, rows of complex data composed of symbols and numbers flashed by. In the remaining small windows, there were slowly jumping numbers and images. Xiaobai tilted his head and stared at the computer screen for a long time, but he still found it difficult to understand what the data represented.

"Yubari, what are these things on the screen?" Shiro asked curiously.

"Hmm? These?" Yubari chewed a couple of bites of the bun in his mouth, swallowed it, and then pointed to the windows on the screen with his greasy fingertips. "In this largest window are Missouri's biological data. Every breath she takes, every heartbeat, and even every circulation of blood in her body will appear here as data through the detectors in the bio-pod."

"Oh...no wonder the data in this window is refreshing so fast." Xiaobai nodded. "What about the rest?"

“This is the real-time data of the guided missile ship's equipment. If there's any damage to the equipment, we can detect it immediately,” Yubari said, swiping her finger across the computer screen to point to several other small windows. “As for the rest, this is the operational data for the Missouri biological module, and this, and this, respectively, show the air quality and dust index in this workshop, as well as the consumption of stored energy…”

Yubari patiently explained the function of the windows on the screen to Shiro.

Upon hearing Yubari's words, Shiro suddenly understood; "Oh, I get it. So, Yubari, you can know everything that happens in the workshop through this computer screen, right?"

"That's roughly the idea." Yubari gave Shiro a thumbs up.

"Are there any monitoring devices or anything?"

“Just show me the data, and I’ll know everything that’s happening in this workshop.” Yubari seemed very confident about this.

"Hmm...that's really impressive..." Xiaobai thought for a while, then asked curiously, "Then, Yubari, take a look at the Missouri's ship equipment data. Is it different from before?"

"Ship equipment data?" Yubari was taken aback. She glanced at the corresponding window. "Hmm... nothing's changed. I've been keeping an eye on this data, and it's the same as before. What's wrong, Admiral?"

"Huh? Same?" Shiro paused slightly after hearing Yubari's words.

It seems that Yubari has no idea what Shiro just did to the guided battleship equipment.

Perhaps... the detection instruments on the guided warships are unable to detect this mysterious energy called mental power.

"Admiral, actually, all that data you're focusing on isn't really useful to you." Just as Xiaobai was deep in thought, Yubari's voice interrupted her. Yubari carefully clicked the mouse, dragging a small window from the corner of the screen to the center, before turning to Xiaobai with a smile and saying, "The data in this window is the data you're most concerned about right now, Admiral."

"What data is it?"

Shiro's curiosity was piqued by Yubari's words, and he couldn't help but look over.

The window that Yubari dragged out this time was very small, but also unique. Unlike the huge data streams that flowed continuously in other windows, this small window contained only a single percentage, and this percentage was slowly increasing at a very slow rate.

Just as Xiaobai was looking at the window, the percentage rose to 3.887.

"Three point eight eight seven percent?" Xiaobai muttered, looking at Yubari with some curiosity. "What is this you're showing me?"

“It’s the synchronization rate,” Yubari said.

"Synchronization rate?"

“Yes, it’s true to its name.” Yubari nodded, then explained to Shiro, “Simply put, this is the synchronization rate between Missouri and her new ship equipment. When this synchronization rate reaches 100%, Missouri will have passed the adaptation period, the guided missile ship equipment will return to her, and the modification will be completely completed.”

"Oh...that's definitely the data I'm most concerned about." Xiaobai muttered to herself while staring at the data in the window for a while, then turned to Yubari and asked, "Is there any way to make this data rise faster?"

“There’s nothing we can do…” After hearing what Xiaobai said, Yubari quickly raised her hand and waved it, giving Xiaobai a very helpless expression. “Besides, Admiral, you seem to have misunderstood the premise. This synchronization rate simply reflects the degree of compatibility between Missouri and the new ship equipment as a percentage. The entire process is in Missouri’s own hands. We are just quantifying her current adaptation status into data for easier understanding. Moreover, the rate of increase in the synchronization rate is not uniform. Maybe the percentage will surge by one or two points in the next second, or maybe it will stop for several days. It all depends on Missouri herself. None of us can help her.”

"Ah, I understand." Shiro smiled knowingly at Yubari. "Thank you, Yubari."

"You're welcome." Yubari smiled at Shiro. "Admiral, don't worry. Based on my many years of experience modifying ship girls, Missouri's synchronization rate is increasing a bit slowly, but she will definitely get through the adaptation period within half a month."

"I feel relieved with you here."

"Won't the Admiral go back to Missouri again?" Yubari placed the half-eaten bun on the computer desk, turned to Shiro with a smile, and asked.

"Hmm... good idea." Xiaobai tapped her lips with her finger and gave a wry smile. "But Missouri can't talk to me right now, so I'll go back first and come back after Missouri's transformation is over."

“Alright.” Yubari stood up from his chair, as if he had guessed what Shiro was thinking. “I’ll go open the door and then see you out, Admiral.”

"Yubari, what about you?"

"This place can't be left unattended for too long, I'll stay."

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work..."

Xiaobai and Yubari chatted and laughed as they left their computer desks and walked towards the workshop gate.

Yubari and Shiro walked away.

The data on the computer screen continued to move as always.

suddenly.

At some point.

On the computer screen, the speed at which data flew by began to accelerate abnormally. In the window that symbolized Missouri's physical information, large amounts of data poured out, filling the window completely in just a few blinks, and then scrolling down rapidly. Even the values ​​in the other small windows also increased dramatically as if they had been accelerated.

At the very center of the screen.

Against the backdrop of the other windows, the tiny percentage in the synchronization rate window that Yubari had just pulled out separately, symbolizing the progress of Missouri's adaptation, also began to jump at a rapid pace, and the speed of the jump became faster and faster.

3.887%……3.999%……5.985%……9.786%……15.000%……25.000%……42.000%……70.000%……98.000%……

Brush, brush, brush, brush.

The small window, symbolizing the synchronization rate, refreshed rapidly with percentages accurate to three decimal places, and for a moment the rapidly jumping numbers turned the entire small window white.

Just as all the data skyrocketed and reached its peak.

suddenly.

It's like someone pressed the pause button.

All the rapidly increasing data stopped growing; the growth trend came to a complete halt.

laugh--

The screen went dark after a few flickers, and a faint wisp of smoke emanated from the idle computer.

The computer went quiet again.

Another moment passed.

wow-

A soft sound of water flowing out echoed in the quiet workshop.
