Chapter 455

Of course Mingshi wouldn't be that naive and sweet; otherwise, those students wouldn't have called him a profiteer.

Although Qin Ge held these research projects, which greatly excited Mingshi, Mingshi thought his compensation was never enough.

After intense bargaining, he temporarily agreed to help Qin Ge develop the Wisdom Cube for research shipgirls, and also said he could help develop those colored weapons.

The compensation was also simple: if one research shipgirl blueprint could only build one research shipgirl's Wisdom Cube, then that Cube belongs to Qin Ge; if more research Cubes could be built, then those Cubes belong to Mingshi.

Likewise for research weapons, and Qin Ge must pay the corresponding supplies and materials to exchange for the finished product from Mingshi.

Qin Ge thought about it and indeed it was so: if nothing needed to be paid, just giving someone a blueprint, why would they help him?

Thus the transaction between them was settled like that; as for Commander Miao, according to Qin Ge's original words, it was because Commander Miao would give the fleet part of its ability.

Therefore, when he went to sea, Commander Miao would definitely accompany him; and when he returned to the base, Commander Miao could be temporarily left with Mingshi for research.

Mingshi also approved of this method, so it was settled.

Immediately, Qin Ge had Belfast hand over all the research shipgirl blueprints and research weapon blueprints to Mingshi for research, and the two left Mingshi's general store.

Afterwards, Qin Ge found Li Chenming, because even he needed to apply for some supplies, and applying for supplies had to go through Li Chenming.

"Commander, what supplies do you want to apply for?" Li Chenming asked while leading Qin Ge and Belfast toward the Grand Fleet's warehouse.

"Wisdom Cube, didn't I tell you about it last time?" Qin Ge said to Li Chenming.

"Huh? Are you going to do a Big Build, Commander?" Li Chenming asked.

"That's right, I need to quickly boost my fleet's strength, otherwise it will become more and more troublesome later." Qin Ge, recalling what he had heard from the Observer, said with some worry.

"Huh?" Li Chenming involuntarily asked, "What exactly happened? Why do I feel that after you returned this time, you've become somewhat tense?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "In short, some unexpected things have happened; these things cannot be told to you, because the more people who know, the easier it is to cause panic."

"So I hope you can understand; some things are not better known, sometimes not knowing anything is actually a happiness."

Li Chenming nodded thoughtfully, smiling at Qin Ge and saying, "I understand; rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, you are the commander of our Star Sea Grand Fleet; you just need to move forward, and we will bear the rest for you."

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Suddenly hearing you say that, I feel somewhat moved. In the future, assisting you may take up most of your time; I estimate we will often be fighting at sea, so you had better promote a few elite members to manage with you."

Li Chenming nodded and said, "Then those four people: Chen Bo Jun, Wang Yueqin, Zhang Xiaotian and the others; they can also be considered veterans of our Grand Fleet."

"Hmm, for example, Wu Hao and Zhang Shaocheng could also be promoted; it's not necessary to promote all of our veterans, we should try to be fair and just." Qin Ge smiled.

"No problem."

While speaking, the two arrived at the Grand Fleet's warehouse. Li Chenming transferred all the accumulated Wisdom Cubes in the warehouse to Qin Ge, and also correspondingly deducted the points Qin Ge had accumulated after completing missions.

After Qin Ge had Belfast store all those Wisdom Cubes, he prepared to greet Li Cheng Ming and leave, but at that moment Li Chenming stopped him and handed him a box.

"What is this?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.

"It was sent from the Donghuang Command; since you weren't here before, I've kept it in the warehouse." Li Chenming said.

Qin Ge nodded, had Belfast put the box away, then said goodbye to Li Chenming and left, heading together with Belfast toward the Grand Hall.

Of course, when Qin Ge left, he also asked Li Chenming if he wanted to come along, but Li Chenming, upon hearing that, showed great resentment: "I'm not going to watch seals landing!"

Hearing Li Chenming's reply, Qin Ge could only rub his nose, abandon his idea, and, with Belfast smirking, left the Grand Fleet's warehouse.

Actually, the base's Grand Hall differs greatly from the Commander Academy's Grand Hall. In the Commander Academy there are dozens of construction machines, but in the base's Grand Hall there is only a row of units.

After all, compared to the Commander Academy, the personnel in a Grand Fleet are far fewer, so the chance of simultaneous construction is very small. Basically, one set of construction machines is enough for all Grand Fleet personnel to use.

Arriving at the construction machine and standing still, Belfast placed the Wisdom Cube, supplies, and Rapid Construction Tool beside the construction machine, and asked Qin Ge.

"Master, how many shipgirls are you preparing to build this time?" Belfast asked.

Qin Ge looked at the number of Wisdom Cubes, then told Belfast, "At least twenty or more; we need to expand our fleet's numbers."

Banrenma and your first batch of shipgirls are clearly about to reach full proficiency; then they can each lead a squad of shipgirls on a sortie.

Therefore, even if we summon a few more shipgirls now, it won't burden our fleet. Moreover, going forward each faction needs to collect combat data, summoning the shipgirls from the research Cubes, so each faction's shipgirl numbers must be filled.

For example, your Royal faction is already a very large part of our fleet, but the other factions are far inferior. Therefore, this summoning is to solve that; we must conduct a large-scale sincere summoning.

"Understood, Master." Belfast nodded and said.

After explaining clearly to Belfast, Qin Ge began his own summoning.

He picked up a Wisdom Cube and six hundred units of Supplies from the ground, Qin Ge placed it into the light Construction Device, and pressed the start button.

In an instant, the Construction Device boomed, and it began to shake lightly.

And amidst this shaking, a numeric time appeared on the Construction Device's display screen.

0:33:00!

Seeing this time, Qin Ge couldn't help but nod.

He currently doesn't care whether he can get any ultra-rare shipgirls; what he cares about now is the number of shipgirls in his Fleet.
