Chapter 611: Do One's Best, Leave the Rest to Fate

Qin Ge and Fearless chatted together for a long time, only appearing when the banquet was about to end.

After greeting everyone, he then leisurely returned to his room with Belfast.

Now that more senior Royal officials have arrived, the Maid Corps' arrangements have become tighter. However, because of Qin Ge's special status, no matter how things change, Belfast always takes it upon herself to serve Qin Ge.

On the way, Qin Ge recalled what the Purifiers had told him earlier, and he asked Belfast, "Beff, how much do you currently know about the Wisdom Cube?"

Belfast heard Qin Ge's question, without any hesitation she quickly replied, "Reporting to my master, don't you already know everything about the Wisdom Cube?"

The shipgirls' minds are stored within the Wisdom Cube; after receiving the master's blessing, they rupture and take shape in the Construction Device, becoming shipgirls.

Then the Cube's energy constructs the shipgirls' core, enabling them to wield weapons including Ship Equipment and granting them full warship power.

Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, our current understanding of the Wisdom Cube is like this, but today when I chatted with the Purifiers, she said our port area's research direction is somewhat overly ambitious."

She said that instead of researching these things, it would be better to focus on more fundamental aspects, such as the Wisdom Cube.

"Oh?" Belfast showed a hint of contemplation, "If we're talking about the shipgirls' origin, then the Wisdom Cube is absolutely something you cannot bypass. If the Purifiers aren't deceiving the master, perhaps we've been underestimating the Wisdom Cube."

"Hmm, that's exactly it." Qin Ge looked at the road ahead and said softly, "After that I've thought a lot; if the Wisdom Cube were merely a simple container for storing shipgirls' minds and a core for constructing their bodies, then why would summoning sometimes fail, and why must every commander initially undergo a Wisdom Cube compatibility test?"

Moreover, whether it's you or a research shipgirl like Monarch, your carrier is the Wisdom Cube. So I think, perhaps as the Purifiers said, we should devote some of our efforts to the Wisdom Cube.

If we could fully master the Wisdom Cube's technology, perhaps we could delve deeper into future research shipgirls, and if the opportunity arises, we might even explore a trace of the shipgirls' origin.

Belfast smiled, "The master's direction is our fleet's direction; we will firmly follow the master's guidance forward."

Qin Ge chuckled, "Perhaps the path I point to will be a sheer cliff ten thousand feet high, who knows?"

Belfast smiled, "Then will the master choose to rein in at the cliff's edge?"

Qin Ge stopped, turned to Belfast, and shook his head, "No, I will choose to step past it."

Belfast smiled, performed a maid's salute to Qin Ge, and said, "Belfast will always stay by the master's side, no matter when or where, whether in life or death."

Qin Ge laughed, hugged Belfast, and said, "Although I'd like to say thank you, saying that would be a bit too formal, so I think this is fine—what do you think?"

"The master has truly grown a lot." Belfast smiled.

Qin Ge smiled, "Come on, let's go back to the room. Rest early; tomorrow we still need to plan future work."

"Yes."

……

The next day, as soon as Qin Ge arrived at the office, he told Tiancheng about yesterday's conversation with the Purifiers.

Although as Belfast said, Qin Ge is the fleet's banner and his direction is the fleet's direction, that doesn't mean Qin Ge is the fleet's dictator.

Whenever they encounter more important decision directions, Qin Ge still likes to discuss and verify with his shipgirls, ultimately arriving at the final answer.

"What the master said, I feel these are indeed researchable issues for us. Whether it's research shipgirls, or Bisimai and others currently in charge of mass-produced battleships and the experimental field soon to be built,

all are inseparable from the Wisdom Cube, but our current understanding merely regards the Wisdom Cube as the most basic resource.

So this is indeed an excellent topic; I fully support the master's decision, and I believe others will also support the master's decision." Tiancheng smiled after hearing Qin Ge's words.

"In that case, let's gather the leaders of all factions and conduct a port-area resolution." Qin Ge said.

"Yes, master."

Tiancheng immediately agreed and at once used the communication device to begin notifying the leaders and persons in charge of each faction.

It didn't take long before everyone gathered in the port-area conference room and began discussing this resolution.

The discussion results were very pleasing; after Qin Ge finished explaining the reasons, no one raised any doubts or objections.

Almost everyone agreed to this resolution, because for the current port area, mastering the Wisdom Cube's technology provides highly effective assistance in many aspects, and since the Wisdom Cube is a common supply, mastering it also allows the development of more uses.

Furthermore, according to Akagi and Kaga, every faction has actually studied the Wisdom Cube, though investment has been small. The main research direction is the replication and utilization of the Wisdom Cube, so conducting a comprehensive study of the Wisdom Cube as Qin Ge proposes is actually a world first.

But they also expressed their support; after joining the fleet, the two of them have witnessed many things they had never seen before, and they now firmly believe that Qin Ge is the key to breaking through in this world.

After this resolution meeting, the port area's research objectives began to change. However, this does not affect the research already underway, including the cooperation agreed upon by Qin Ge and Mingshi.

Thus, time gradually passed. Laffey, Z23, and Ling Bo successively completed their refits, and Hai Lun Na also learned the relevant refit knowledge from the Purifiers, already beginning to prepare refit blueprints and carrying out refits on the shipgirls that can be modified in the port area.

And just as all this began, the Purifiers left the port area.

When Qin Ge received this information, his brows involuntarily furrowed. After all, there is still a full month until the previous Siren Tide outbreak, but the Purifiers having received mission orders and departed indicates that the Sirens have already begun preparing for this Siren Tide from now on.

Thus he immediately opened the communicator left by the Nine Major Factions and promptly informed them of this information.

The Nine Major Factions that received the message expressed gratitude to Qin Ge, but whether they took his information to heart, Qin Ge could not determine.

Having done what he needed to do, this Siren Tide, based on the information leaked by the Purifiers, is also a major test for his fleet.

So all we can do is strive our best and leave the rest to fate……
