Chapter 552: Harvest

It took two days, and with the efforts of all the shipgirls, we finally turned the Siren base upside down.

Not only did we gain a lot of resources, but we also obtained many technologies that even Qin Ge could not have imagined.

"Really, it's too surprising." Qin Ge looked at the data before him and couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Yeah, our harvest this time is truly astonishing." Bisimai said to Qin Ge, "Without saying anything else, just this mass-produced warship technology alone would be worth our losses this time."

"However, to implement this technology we also need a large amount of resources; otherwise it would just be a pile of useless junk." Qin Ge looked at the data in his hand and said.

"I've investigated; this technology is very simple, and using the Sirens' wreckage we can manufacture it." Bisimai said.

Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, this is called having no guns, no cannons—do the enemies build them for us? Destroy the Siren mass-produced type, then use its materials to make it; we use mass-produced types—this is actually a good idea."

"However, we need to redesign the hull of this mass-produced type; we can't use the Siren hull, otherwise other factions or commanders seeing it would be hard to explain."

"That's natural; it's not just a problem of being hard to explain. If we take out a warship styled after this Siren mass-produced type, the Sirens would probably die laughing." Weineituo said with a smile.

Qin Ge smiled and continued looking down at what he held in his hand: "Oil refining technology—this is good. Earlier we were still preparing to overcome this difficulty; this actually solves our urgent need."

"From now on, having this technology, we can completely be stationed at Guandao."

"Indeed, besides that, we also dismantled and carried away some useful facilities, including the red sharp tip, supplies, petroleum, and various components and resources from this Siren base." Enterprise said.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Then this achieves the purpose of this battle. Next we'll withdraw completely, then destroy this Siren base, and we'll go home."

"I don't even know what time it is outside now; if we rush back home and miss the New Year, that would be too regrettable."

"I think we will definitely have time." Seeing Qin Ge so open-minded, a few shipgirls couldn't help but laugh.

As the fleet left the range of the Siren base, the aircraft carriers and main battleship shipgirls each summoned their ship equipment, which fell into the water, and they launched an attack on the Siren base.

Soon the Siren base was destroyed, and the surroundings seemed to flash for a moment, after which everyone left the mirror sea.

"Commander, we've already come out, and the radar is showing something." Zhenhai looked at the radar and said to Qin Ge.

"Newcomers have come out, so we'll prepare to head home." Qin Ge smiled and said.

"Good!"

The fleet slowly started up and slowly headed toward the station.

When we returned to the station, the sky had already grown dark.

Qin Ge walked out of the command ship, saw that several faction envoys were already standing early in front, and couldn't help but smile at Saint Louis.

"It seems I came back planning to rest early, but my beautiful dream is ruined."

Saint Louis smiled and said, "Commander can completely wait until tomorrow to hold the meeting; after simply informing them today, you should rest early."

Qin Ge laughed and shook his head, "Rest can be anytime, but this is a serious matter. Moreover, didn't Hu Feng say earlier that such a situation also appeared in the free Iris sea? If possible, then after we timely discover it here, we can let them prepare early."

"Commander, you are truly kind." Saint Louis said with a double meaning.

Qin Ge shrugged and said, "Well, this is also a kind of trade; we still have places where we need them, but we're just reporting the situation. As for what we gained this time, I have no intention of handing it over."

Saint Louis smiled and said, "I haven't said anything at all, Commander."

"Of course, this is my decision." Qin Ge laughed and then quickly stepped forward to meet the few people walking over.

"Welcome back, Commander Qin Ge." Several faction envoys and Hu Feng all said to Qin Ge.

"Thank you, and you've all worked hard." Qin Ge politely responded.

"After being out for such a long time, could there have been any discoveries? Moreover, I see obvious damage marks on the command ship; could it be that you went through a major battle?" Hao bluntly asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge laughed and nodded, "Yeah, we went through a major battle."

"When I was exploring the sea surface earlier, I found that the detectors in that sea area couldn't send back signals—could it be that they encountered a mirror sea there?" Hu Feng asked Qin Ge.

"Yes, we encountered a mirror sea, and also a brand-new advanced Siren humanoid appeared. Do you have any heard of the name 'Constructor'?" Qin Ge looked at the few people and asked.

When hearing Qin Ge ask this question, the counterattack was stunned for a moment, then Hao quickly reacted, shook his head, and said, "No, is it a completely new Siren humanoid? It sounds similar to the name of the Testers."

Qin Ge smiled thoughtfully, "Yes, it's a Siren humanoid command unit of the same rank as the Testers and Purifiers. If you have time now, then come together to the meeting room."

"I will detail what happened in this battle for you. After all, the appearance of a new Siren humanoid command unit is also a pressure for all factions, right?"

"Yes, that would be troublesome for Commander Qin Ge." Ge Naisen Nau of Iron Blood smiled and said.

Qin Ge nodded and extended his hand toward the few people, saying, "Please."

"Please, Commander Qin Ge as well."

Qin Ge and the others returned to Gangqu in the afternoon, and after finishing this meeting it was already evening.

After the meeting, he didn't linger in the office area but went straight back to his residence.

Belfast had already prepared meals for Qin Ge early on; now in the cafeteria, Qin Ge ate while chatting with the shipgirls gathered around the table.

"Commander, how did the meeting go? What were the reactions of the several factions?" Enterprise asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge smiled, put down his chopsticks, and said, "They are indeed very interested in the data we provided, but I think they have chosen to conceal some things from us."

"Oh?" Bisimai frowned.

"What are those things, my child?" Emperor Frederick smiled and said.

"This afternoon I said that we encountered the Constructor this time. The Royal's counterattack was stunned at that moment, and when I hadn't explained the Constructor's rank, Royal's Hao said the name sounded just like the Testers'; what do you think that signifies?" Qin Ge said lightly.

"Have the Nine Major Factions been concealing things from us?"
