Chapter 571: Barbarian Chirp

This year's New Year holds special significance for both Qin Ge and the Star Sea Grand Fleet.

After the festive New Year banquet passed, the entire fleet quickly shifted from a relaxed atmosphere to full operational status.

Li Chenming and his group set out for Level 4 sea area on the third day of the new year for special training, because they need to go to Guandao in the second half of the year, making time very tight for them.

Although being led by Qin Ge's shipgirls to improve their own shipgirl proficiency is good, nobody wants to live forever under someone else's wings, so they also harbor a drive to prove themselves.

After learning Qin Ge's next plan, the shipgirls of the Qin Ge Fleet naturally gave full support. After Li Chenming and his group left the base, the entire fleet also began to busy themselves.

First, the five research Wisdom Cubes previously made, although already produced by Mingshi, had not been used to collect combat data due to recent fleet reforms and various incidents.

Therefore, at the start of the year, after Qin Ge consulted with several leaders, they each selected an elite team from each faction, taking their respective faction's Cube to go collect combat data.

On the White Eagle side, the team composed of Bunker Hill, Washington, Independence, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Sheng Di Ya Ge is responsible for collecting combat data from the research vessel named Seattle.

The Royal side dispatched a team composed of Banrenma, anti-war, Nelson, Tianlangxing, Ou ruo la, and Xiefeierde to collect combat data from the research vessel named Chai Jun.

The Iron Blood side sent out a team consisting of Tierbici, Qibolin Count, Peter Strasse, Prince Heinrich, Karlsruhe, and Z23 to collect combat data from the research vessel named August von Parsaval.

The Sakura Empire side sent out a team consisting of Biyu, Lan, Longxiang, Nengdai, Agano, and Aidang to collect combat data from the research vessel named Beifeng.

As for the remaining research shipgirl Gascogne, although its marking indicates it should be a Vichy Tribunal shipgirl, experiments showed that even Free Iris shipgirls can collect combat data.

Lisailiu's explanation should be that as long as they belong to the Iris Theocracy, they can collect combat data, so the subsequent arrangements are relatively simple.

Free Iris and the Vichy Tribunal together dispatched Lisailiu, Beyarn, Dunkeerk, Zhende, Emil Belden, and Tartu.

After the five fleets, each carrying their respective Wisdom Cube, left the base, the other shipgirls remaining at the base also began their own work.

Normally, aside from port area patrol duty, all other shipgirls participated in commission missions. Of course, some shipgirls relatively interested in research entered the research section formed by Evening Crane and Hai Lun Na, etc.

Furthermore, as the research equipment communicated with Hu Feng arrived, the port area research previously envisioned by Emperor Frederick also formally began.

Everything is moving onto the right track.

Qin Ge was not idle either, because this time he needed to establish a forward base on remote Guandao, so he had to finish the prior work.

Thus, when the port area entered the right track, he also brought dozens of high-proficiency shipgirls and a logistics construction team dispatched by the Donghuang Command.

However, this construction team was somewhat special. It not only made Qin Ge curious, but also many shipgirls felt curious.

Because the construction team is a group of cute creatures that look somewhat like yellow chick hatchlings, their name is Barbarian Chirp, an intelligent AI driven by Cube energy.

When Qin Ge first saw these little guys, he was completely bewildered. Although he knows anything is possible in this world, you call these things a logistics team?

"Qin Ge Commander, don't look down on these little guys just because they're small; they are driven by Wisdom Cube energy, and they are very skilled at construction, rescue, engineering, and a series of logistics tasks.

"Furthermore, as long as they have energy, they never stop, so their efficiency is very high." Hu Feng, who was accompanying him, explained.

Qin Ge looked at Hu Feng in astonishment, "Then why are they so useful yet not widespread among all fleets?"

Hu Feng sighed, "Of course because they are expensive to produce, cannot be mass-promoted. So only each faction's command has one such logistics battalion, which is deployed only when needed."

Moreover, judging by the numbers this time, Yixian's overall commander was very generous—these already approach one-third of the command's logistics force.

"So that's how it is." Qin Ge nodded.

After seeing Qin Ge understand, Hu Feng thought of something, smiled and said, "Actually, Qin Ge Commander's fleet can produce some Barbarian Chirp."

"Huh?" Qin Ge doubted, "You said it's costly to produce, even the General Command can't afford it, how could my fleet possibly bear the cost?"

Hu Feng smiled, "The real reason it's costly is because it requires the core wreckage of executor units from Level 6 sea area or above. Therefore, for the Donghuang faction, this material is very rare, requiring a dedicated team to search the sea for it."

Moreover, you also know that Donghuang's high-level personnel are few, and arranging the sea area already spent many personnel, so combat personnel are also relatively few.

However, Qin Ge Commander is different; in your fleet, as the number of Awakened Shipgirls increases, the number of pure combat shipgirls will become even greater.

Therefore, Level 6 sea area is not difficult for you; the key is that the Sirens have already taken notice of you, and your fleet encounters Siren fleets of two or more in Level 6 sea area or above, making it easier to obtain executor core wreckage.

By then, as long as you acquire enough core wreckage, I believe other factions will also be willing to trade with you, after all, nobody would dislike having more Barbarian Chirp.

Qin Ge chuckled, "Alright, so you mean letting my fleet act as the enforcer."

Hu Feng laughed, "No, this is just a sideline profit; doesn't Qin Ge Commander's goal include Level 6 sea area?"

Qin Ge nodded, "I understand, then now that we have logistics personnel, how do we handle the materials for building facilities there? Is it supposed to be transported from here?"

Hu Feng shook his head, "Transporting from here would really waste time and is also prone to being looted by Sirens.

According to the command's order, the Guandao base is funded by Donghuang, and the funds have already been given to Mingshi to take full responsibility. Therefore, Qin Ge Commander only needs to find Mingshi when the time comes, and she can continuously bring supplies and materials to Guandao through her special method.

"Mingshi? I understand." Qin Ge nodded, "Later I'll tell Yixian to thank you; I'll remember all this."

"Okay."
