Chapter 484: Test

Although Qin Ge had seen through him directly, Mingshi still remained the same. He laughed embarrassedly and changed the subject.

"Besides, how is the Commander Cat research going?" Qin Ge asked Mingshi.

"It's almost done; maybe by the time you come back next time we'll have a finished product, meow." Mingshi said to Qin Ge.

"So when you come back next time, you mean one month later?" Qin Ge nodded.

"Yes, meow." Mingshi nodded, "The production of Commander Meow has some similarities with shipgirls, but there are many differences; the research time can be longer, and recently I've also been working on these weapons and studying things like the Science Cube, meow."

"Alright." Qin Ge nodded, then directly closed the box and signaled Zhenhai nearby to put it away.

"I might stay a few more days in Gangqu, so if there's any progress these days, feel free to come find me anytime." Qin Ge said.

"Okay, meow."

After finishing the transaction, Qin Ge left Mingshi's shop, and Mingshi also closed the door; a shop like this opened inside the Grand Fleet, Mingshi generally wouldn't stay here for a long time.

Meanwhile, after Qin Ge obtained these ship equipment and the Wisdom Cube, he did not immediately distribute the ship equipment. Because every shipgirl already has corresponding ship equipment, is familiar with its characteristics, and finds it easy to use; there's no need to rashly change ship equipment.

It would be better to keep these ship equipment in storage, and when new members join the fleet later, give them to use.

However, the ship equipment's effectiveness still needs to be tested, so Qin Ge had Zhenhai call Bisimai and Enterprise over.

Soon, the two of them, together with Zhenhai, arrived at the beach beside the garrison.

Since Zhenhai had already told them the purpose when they arrived, the two didn't ask further when they came over.

"You've come; try these ship equipment and see how the effect is." Qin Ge said, then handed over a colored main gun and a colored carrier aircraft.

"Is this made from the blueprint the Commander obtained once in the Mirror Sea?" Bisimai took the main gun, looked at it while asking Qin Ge.

"Yes, today I retrieved the items from Mingshi, so I want you to come test the power of this colored weapon, and see which performs better compared to the weapons you currently have equipped.

"Although colored weapons are definitely supposed to be better than gold ones, how much better is still unknown, so it's good to test." Qin Ge said to the two.

"These two weapons are both research-type weapons, respectively a 457mm main gun and a torpedo-plane Flying Dragon; you two equip them and try."

"Yes." Both are people who don't talk much but have strong execution ability.

So without the slightest hesitation, they took off the weapons from their own ship equipment, put the new ship equipment in, then promptly leapt into the water and activated their combat forms.

First to test was Bisimai; only seeing her raise the gun barrel toward the distance, only hearing a loud boom followed by two blue armor-piercing shells slicing across the sky, falling into the distant sea, splashing up two great columns of water.

Afterwards, Bisimai slightly closed her eyes, then turned around and came to the shore.

"How was it?" Qin Ge asked.

"This colored main gun has a relatively short cooldown and fires armor-piercing shells, which work wonders against some medium-armored enemies. Moreover, for battleship shipgirls it is a very versatile ship equipment with great improvement." Bisimai said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "Hmm."

Next up was Enterprise; only seeing Enterprise glide into the water, then pull back her longbow and shoot an arrow into the sky. That arrow flashed with white light, and upon reaching the sky it transformed into two side-by-side torpedo planes.

Only seeing the torpedo planes fly straight ahead, then turn around and drop a spread of torpedoes onto a nearby uninhabited small island.

Only seeing those torpedoes advance parallel, upon touching the small island they underwent a violent explosion; water spray and mud were flung into the sky at once, looking quite spectacular.

At this time Enterprise reached out her hand, recalled the torpedo planes dancing in the sky, then turned back and returned to Qin Ge's side.

"Report, Commander, this torpedo plane's takeoff speed is slightly slower than those of the swordfish torpedo planes, but the destruction it causes is far greater.

"Especially when facing a large group of enemies, such torpedo planes often can achieve the strongest killing effect." Enterprise said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge laughed and nodded, "It seems indeed worth the price; these two colored equipment are indeed better."

"Then Commander, how do you plan to distribute them?" Bisimai asked.

"I'm not prepared to distribute them right now; your ship equipment is actually not weaker than these two pieces of ship equipment, it's just not as suitable in this way." Qin Ge said.

"But you are already familiar with the performance of your ship equipment; switching to this ship equipment would require a relatively long break-in period, affecting your combat power. So I intend to give these to those who later join our fleet."

As for this, the two had no objections; after all, they already have weapons themselves, and their ship equipment are of that very good kind, not inferior to some faction envoys.

As for colored weapons, they are merely curious, just like how those gold ultra-rare shipgirls are curious about colored shipgirls.

"What do you think about this?" Qin Ge asked the two.

"I have no opinion; my current focus is Awakening. Although these seven ship equipment indeed can boost some power, I don't want to be distracted for this reason." Bisimai said.

"Me too; the Commander is the soul of the fleet, so you can just have these equipment and ship equipment distributed as you see fit." Enterprise said with a smile.

"That's fine; however, if anyone wants to use them, you can take them from me anytime. For now, let's treat these few colored equipment as the fleet's public resources." Qin Ge said.

"Understood." Bisimai and Enterprise nodded and said.

After finishing the test, several people left the beach together; Qin Ge returned to the office, while Enterprise and Bisimai went back to their lodgings.

In the following days, Gangqu remained very peaceful. Of course, some shipgirls came to Qin Ge to apply for using colored ship equipment; but after using it for a while, they all returned it.

After all, they were just seeking novelty; if they really needed to fight, they would use the ship equipment they are most accustomed to.
