Chapter 520: Construction Failure?

The contracting process went very smoothly, and the twenty shipgirls that followed have all been contracted by Qin Ge.

But there are gains and losses; as a price, the number of Free Shipgirls stationed here has at least decreased by one-third.

"It seems we need to post a recruitment notice at the Maritime Affairs Bureaus everywhere; the number of Free Shipgirls stationed here must be replenished." Watching the shipgirls taken away by Enterprise and North Carolina, Qin Ge said to Hai Tian.

"Hehe, that's true; later I will get in touch with Hu Feng of the Maritime Affairs Bureau." Hai Tian said to Qin Ge.

"But Commander, you're really amazing; you haven't even gone to the construction room yet, and you've already completed about one-fifth of the task."

Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh, "Then after we finish patrolling the post area, let's go finish the remaining four-fifths."

"Yes, Commander."

The two left the Free Shipgirls' building while chatting and laughing; as for how the Free Shipgirls should develop, we'll wait until the reserve reinforcements arrive.

However, it is certain that North Carolina, having previously been the leader of the Free Shipgirls, will also be responsible for this matter.

Afterwards, the two quickly finished patrolling the port area. Just as Qin Ge was about to go to the warehouse with Hai Tian, they discovered that Belfast was already waiting in front of the office building.

"Greetings, my master, and Miss Hai Tian." Belfast said, performing a maid's salute to the two.

"Belfast, what do you need by coming over?" Qin Ge asked Belfast.

"Are you preparing to go to the warehouse to get supplies, then head to the construction room to build?" Belfast asked.

"Hmm, that's right, but how did you know?" Qin Ge asked strangely.

"Because when Enterprise returned earlier, I met her, and she told me about this.

So I thought you would definitely go get the supplies, so I brought the Wisdom Cube, supplies, and the Rapid Construction Tool for you, so you don't need to make another trip." Belfast said with a gentle smile.

Qin Ge blinked his eyes, then helplessly said, "I feel that you always do everything ahead of me; before long, I'll turn you all into useless people."

"How would the master become useless? Knowing that doing these things ahead of time for the master is the duty of a maid." Belfast smiled.

Qin Ge laughed, "Well, if we become useless, then we become useless; as long as you're happy, that's fine."

"Let's go together to the construction room; this time the number of summoned people might be a bit more. If possible, could Hai Tian please call one person from each faction to come greet the other shipgirls of their faction?"

"Yes, Commander." Hai Tian.

Qin Ge and Belfast then quickly arrived at the construction room, just as before, placing all the Wisdom Cubes, supplies, and Rapid Construction Tools beside the Construction Device.

While Qin Ge and Belfast were preparing, Hai Tian also brought people from the other factions here.

Qin Ge smiled at them and said, "Heh, I said just anyone from each faction would do; I didn't expect you all to come."

"Actually, just like the Commander, after we finish arranging our work we don't have much left to do. Moreover, as those chosen to welcome the new shipgirls, aren't we a few of us just right for the job?" Weineituo said with a smile.

"Huh? You also have nothing to do?" Qin Ge exclaimed, "But every time I see you, you look busy."

"Of course, because we only appear before Commander Comrade when we have something to do. Normally, after finishing our tasks we have nothing to do, so we return to the shipgirls' dormitory; Commander Comrade naturally wouldn't see us." Soviet Russia said.

Qin Ge opened his mouth and chuckled, "Why do I suddenly feel much more balanced inside?"

"Hehe, do you think we've been working all the time?" Enterprise beside him smiled.

Qin Ge said embarrassedly, "Indeed, that's the case."

"Emperor Frederick's domestic arrangements are very reasonable, so the Commander doesn't need to think too much; just do your daily duties well." Bisimai said.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll start summoning now." Qin Ge, knowing everything, suddenly felt relaxed all over, and thus laughed as he said to everyone.

"Yes, Commander."

Accompanied by the shipgirls' responses, Qin Ge walked to the side of the Construction Device.

Picking up two Wisdom Cubes and fifteen hundred units of supplies from the ground, Qin Ge placed them into the Construction Device, "Let's first try a heavy ship to test the waters."

Seeing him activate the Construction Device, it emitted a rumbling sound and then shook violently. Thus, at this moment Qin Ge fixed his eyes on the screen of the Construction Device, waiting for the construction time to appear.

But this time, even after the Construction Device calmed down, the construction time still did not appear.

"Failed?" Everyone looked at Qin Ge in surprise, and Qin Ge also scratched his head, somewhat unable to understand.

When was my last construction failure? It should have been when building Bisimai, and several years have passed since then.

"Could the Commander still fail at construction?" Enterprise asked in surprise.

"Of course, when building me and Bisimai before, the Commander failed twice." Weineituo said.

"Oh, there was such a thing." Enterprise realized.

"But back then, each time the Commander failed, he would construct a faction flagship; perhaps this time will be the same as before, constructing a faction flagship." Weineituo laughed.

Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh upon hearing that, then immediately picked up two Wisdom Cubes and 1500 units of supplies from his feet, placed them into the Construction Device, and pressed the start button again.

But this time, under everyone's gaze, when the Construction Device stopped running, there still was no time appearing on its screen.

"Huh? Could something be wrong today? Why did the second attempt also fail?" Qin Ge said in surprise.

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads.

"Otherwise, Commander, try again; perhaps there's something unknown waiting for us later." Weineituo said.

Qin Ge nodded, then again picked up the Wisdom Cube and supplies, placed them into the Construction Device, and pressed the start button.

Then, the Construction Device began to operate with a sound, and this time it shook even more violently.

At this moment, Qin Ge and the others' hearts tightened as they watched the screen on the Construction Device, hoping this time a time would appear instead of another failure like before.

Perhaps such expectation and prayer really had an effect; as the Construction Device slowly came to a stop, a time appeared on its screen.
