Chapter 157: Erosion Sea
Watching the few people walk away, Guanghui stood beside Qin Ge and said to him, "Commander, why don't you try to keep their contact information? Maybe later there will be a chance to be like me."
Qin Ge shook his head, "They all said that, now they only want to exist as free shipgirls, and haven't considered anything about the front line at all."
But if they follow me in the future, they will definitely have to go to the front line. Rather than do something that goes against their choice, it's better to treat it like a chance encounter, so we can still greet each other properly next time we meet.
"Hehe, that's also true." Guanghui nodded and smiled.
Qin Ge turned around, raised his binoculars to look toward the sea, and saw that Banrenma and the others' formation had already been fully deployed, everyone in combat readiness, promptly guarding against whatever might happen on the sea.
Speaking of which, aside from not going on the first emergency mission, in the other several emergency missions Banrenma, Belfast, and the others have always been dispatched together with Ou Gen Qin Wang and her group.
Plus, with their usual training, cooperating in formation is also quite familiar. Just a simple reminder of positions to Biyu, Luodenni, and Hai Lun Na, and instantly a very complete triangular defense system was formed on the sea.
And after it was formed, Banrenma's carrier aircraft quickly spotted the enemy's traces, and all the shipgirls rushed toward that direction to engage the enemy.
"But speaking of which, this place truly is one of the closest to the front line; the direction Banrenma and the others are heading actually suddenly saw three Siren mass-produced warships appear at once." Qin Ge held his binoculars toward that direction and said to Guanghui beside him.
"That's right, and there's a chance we might encounter a small Siren mass-produced fleet." Guanghui said to Qin Ge, "Even a medium-sized one is possible."
"Then, do the ones that usually appear on the front line tend to be medium or large?" Qin Ge asked Guanghui.
Guanghui laughed and shook his head, "If the front line only had medium or large ones appearing, the pressure on the front line would be too great."
Basically, under normal circumstances, the Siren fleets that appear on the front line are mostly small and medium, with occasional large Siren mass-produced fleets.
But if it happens during a Siren Tide, then at that time they are medium or large Siren mass-produced fleets.
Qin Ge nodded, "Then, compared to that, the difficult part of the front line is that the proficiency level of the Siren mass-produced fleets is relatively high?"
"That's right." Guanghui nodded and said, "If we follow the analysis method and data of the NA sea area used by the front line, the near-shore coastal waters we are in belong to Erosion Level 1-2 sea area."
As for Duolunwa Island here, at most it's just on the edge of an Erosion Level 3 sea area, and actually belongs to an Erosion Level 2 sea area. Meanwhile, the sea area where the front line is located is basically within an Erosion Level 4 sea area, and they often go to carry out missions in an Erosion Level 5 sea area.
As for Erosion Level 6 sea areas, currently very few on the front line have gone there; it's said that there, not only do we find the known Siren mass-produced warships, fallen shipgirls, executors, and the like, but there is also another kind of Siren present.
Although they are relatively weaker compared to the Siren high-ranking humanoid purifiers, to our current front-line fleet and commander, that is simply an earth-shattering, heaven-destroying power.
Qin Ge listened and nodded repeatedly, "Then, what are the proficiency levels of the Siren fleets in each Erosion Level sea area?"
Guanghui replied to Qin Ge, "In Erosion Level 1 and 2 sea areas, the proficiency levels of the Siren mass-produced fleets are mostly between 10 and 15. Starting from Erosion Level 3, the proficiency level of the Siren mass-produced fleets undergoes a qualitative increase."
For Erosion Level 3, the proficiency level of most Siren mass-produced fleets is around 40; for Erosion Level 4, most Siren mass-produced fleets have a proficiency level around 65; in Erosion Level 5 sea areas, most Siren mass-produced ships have a proficiency level around 85.
As for Erosion Level 6 sea areas, according to those who have been there, the data shown on the analysis instruments indicates their proficiency level is around 105.
"105?" Qin Ge exclaimed in surprise, "But isn't the current maximum proficiency level only 100?"
"That's correct, but this only applies to shipgirls, with the maximum proficiency level being around 100. However, Siren fleets seem to have no concept of awakening, so their strength can easily surpass the 100 proficiency level limit." Guanghui said, frowning.
Qin Ge's eyes drooped as a large amount of information filtered through his mind, "I want to ask one thing: do Siren mass-produced fleets from different Erosion Level sea areas ever exchange sea areas with each other?"
Or, given that the Sirens clearly possess power stronger than shipgirls and can annihilate them at any time, why would they allocate their finest forces to places that shipgirls could never reach?
What is their purpose in doing this? Or could it be that they are protecting something at the center of the ocean? They prevent humans from going there, so they set up defenses in each sea area?
"Unclear, we rarely have communication with the Sirens, because as soon as we meet it's battle; we never knew why the Sirens came to this world, nor what their purpose is."
Guanghui said this, then unconsciously turned his head to look at the sea surface, "Perhaps in the long-term fighting, we have become indifferent to cause and effect."
Because this vast sea has already buried many people, many shipgirls; these lives, one after another, have gradually accumulated into an irreparable contradiction, perhaps.
"Commander, you are not a person of this world, so you are the one most likely to abandon all this and go seek the answers to the questions."
Qin Ge took a deep breath, "Maybe, but our current strength doesn't allow it; at the very least we must first train them to maximum proficiency before talking about that. The road ahead is still long; we can only explore step by step for now."
"Hmm." Guanghui nodded.
Just then, Qin Ge's communicator transmitted Banrenma's voice: "Commander, a pair of small Siren mass-produced fleets has been detected in the 63 direction, and within the fleet a fallen shipgirl has been found, appearing to be a destroyer!"
Qin Ge and Guanghui exchanged glances, then both looked toward the 63 direction.
On the binoculars, a few faint black dots appeared in the distance; Qin Ge said to Banrenma, "Report the composition of the Siren mass-produced fleet."
"Yes, according to my carrier aircraft observation, this small Siren mass-produced fleet contains six mass-produced destroyers, three light cruisers, two heavy cruisers, one battleship, and one fallen shipgirl." Banrenma quickly replied.
"Excellent, Banrenma! Now begin the air strike; before closing to combat range, first sink the enemy's battleship!" Qin Ge ordered Banrenma.
"Yes, Commander!" Banrenma quickly replied.
