Chapter 573: Base Planning

"How about it, Bisimai?"

"Standing on the beach, Qin Ge watched as the shipgirls directed groups of Barbarian Chirps lining up and gathering on the beach, when he suddenly caught sight of Bisimai and the others returning from the abandoned Command Ship, and hurried over to ask."

"\"Most of the usable things inside the Command Ship are gone; what remains are unusable items, and there are obvious signs of dismantling, so I think it's very likely that the owner of this Command Ship dismantled them. \" Bisimai replied."

"Qin Ge blinked at this, \"So, Bisimai, you're saying there's a commander on this island, and some shipgirls? \""

"\"It's possible. \" Bisimai said, \"I just inspected the entire hull and found that these hulls were blown here by the waves and sea wind after losing power, so I judged that when the Command Ship approached this area, it had already lost power. \""

"\"Furthermore, there are obvious drag marks on it; I think it's possible the shipgirls did this. \""

"Qin Ge was speechless, \"So you're saying it's possible that this Command Ship encountered a great storm earlier, lost all power, drifted here, and then the shipgirls discovered this island and towed the Command Ship here? \""

"\"Nine out of ten. \" Bisimai nodded, \"Moreover, on an island like this, aside from allowing people to survive, there's basically nothing to resupply the shipgirls. \""

"\"And having their commander cross a Level 5 sea area on their backs, no shipgirl could manage that, so I think they're still on the island. \""

"\"This... is truly fantastical. \" Qin Ge said, speechless."

"\"However, our immediate priority isn't to find that commander and his shipgirls, but to first plan this area, then draft a Gangqu sketch, letting the Barbarian Chirps start gathering materials. \""

"Later, when we have time, we'll visit the entire island."

"\"Yes, Commander! \" Bisimai said, \"We'll take care of this; you should rest here for a while, Commander. \""

"\"No problem, go ahead and get busy. \" Qin Ge said."

"\"Yes. \""

"Qin Ge still underestimated the Barbarian Chirps' strength; seeing them land on the island, after confirming the harbor position, they immediately sprang into action."

"They produced many tools from somewhere unknown, some for surveying, some for mapping, and acted very swiftly."

"The shipgirls who had wanted to intervene were stunned in place, only able to watch the Barbarian Chirps work; afterward, just like Qin Ge, they stood on the beach, chatting while observing the work."

"In just an hour's time, a relatively large Barbarian Chirp brought a drawing to Qin Ge and the shipgirls."

"Qin Ge immediately took the drawing, unfolded it, and saw it was a Gangqu plan: harbor, dock, Gangqu gate, office area, research area, residential area, and amusement park, etc. —all facilities were present."

"\"Tsk, truly impressive. \" Qin Ge praised."

"\"Just as Hu Feng said, these little guys are incredibly talented in logistics. \" Weineito was also quite surprised."

"\"Chirp? Chirp! Chirp! \""

"As Qin Ge and the shipgirls were praising, that Barbarian Chirp called out."

"Qin Ge's face went blank, but the shipgirls nearby knew what the Barbarian Chirp was saying, because they all draw power from the Wisdom Cube, so there's no language barrier."

"\"Commander, it says it can confirm? If there are no changes, they'll start work. \" Bisimai said."

"Qin Ge quickly shook his head and told the Barbarian Chirp, \"This design, while impressive, isn't suitable for our Grand Fleet, so we need to modify it a bit. \""

"\"Chirp? \" the Barbarian Chirp chirped."

"\"Commander, it's asking what modifications to make; you can explain directly to it. \" Bisimai continued serving as translator."

"Qin Ge pointed at the drawing and said, \"First, we'll divide this harbor area, making this section the outer harbor and that inner section the inner harbor. \""

"\"The section connecting to the upper right of the outer harbor will be made into a reception-use residential area and leisure area. \""

"\"Below the inner harbor, it's divided into two areas total; we'll place the office area in the center of this zone. On the left we'll construct our fleet's residential area, plus some supporting facilities. \""

"\"As for the right side, we'll build residential areas for our Big Build's other members, along with some other supporting facilities. \""

"\"Below the office area we'll build warehouses; the left seaside section will become an amusement park, while the right side will be the research area and other supporting facilities. \""

"Qin Ge's instructions to the Barbarian Chirp were very detailed, because this place will be his fleet's base going forward, requiring a long stay, so it must follow his plan."

"His shipgirls are numerous, nearly matching the numbers of the other Grand Fleet members' shipgirls, so if they all lived together it would cause many inconveniences."

"\"Better to separate them here, using the office area as a boundary: the left side is for his fleet's residential area, while the right side is for the other Grand Fleet members' residential area. \""

"\"Both residential areas connect to the office area, and above the office area is the Gangqu gate, while the other areas lie below the office area, belonging to the public zone. \""

"\"Of course, this is only a preliminary early-stage plan. As Qin Ge's fleet grows stronger, the required supporting facilities will increase, and later the Gangqu's area may need to expand. \""

"\"But by then I believe I will already possess the Barbarian Chirps produced by my own Gangqu, so the subsequent construction can be carried out independently by my Gangqu. \""

"After hearing Qin Ge's description, the Barbarian Chirp quickly nodded, then immediately took out a pen and a sheet of paper and swiftly began drawing on the ground in front of everyone."

"Soon, a relatively ideal Gangqu sketch as described by Qin Ge was completed under the Barbarian Chirp's pen."

"\"Chirp? \" the Barbarian Chirp called out to Qin Ge."

"\"Commander, it's asking if this is what it looks like? \" Bisimai said."

"Qin Ge looked at the drawing, immediately nodded, \"Yes, that's it, no problem. \""

"\"Chirp! Chirp chirp! \" the Barbarian Chirp chirped while nodding."

"\"It says since it's confirmed, let's have the materials sent over; we can start construction now—this will surely be a massive project! \" Bisimai said."

"Qin Ge smiled, then turned to Belfast beside him. Belfast immediately understood Qin Ge's meaning, pulling out a relatively large cat claw device from his Ship Equipment space."

"This cat claw device was the thing Mingshi gave Qin Ge earlier; using it, Mingshi can directly come to Guandao from any of his shops."

"As Belfast placed the device on the sand and activated it, a blue light soon appeared; when the light faded, a green-haired figure appeared on the device."

"\"Good afternoon, Commander Qin Ge meow, is this Guandao? \""

"\"Hello, Mingshi, this is Guandao. \""
