Chapter 711: Origin
Ninghai's words left everyone speechless; although the nine major factions currently belong to the Azure Lane alliance, this alliance is merely a coalition against the Sirens.
And the nine major factions naturally have some research plans that suit their own factions, such as Donghuang's missile destroyers and White Eagle's ocean spirit camouflage.
These are basically not shareable with other factions, and some of them are even exclusive secrets of each faction.
"However, this secret is really quite big." Lisailiu looked at Qin Ge and said, "What kind of world is the world where Commander Qin Ge comes from?"
Hearing Lisailiu's question, others also curiously looked at Qin Ge; although they are all well-informed, they still have great interest in another world.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. My world's history is not much different from here, but in my world there are no shipgirls or Sirens. Conflicts only take place between nations, and they are only for profit."
"Indeed, conflict is human nature, unrelated to crisis." The Soviet Union said lightly.
"That's natural." Qin Ge nodded, "Your original forms are a testament to humanity's strength, and also tools for defense and offense."
"However, it's truly amazing that different worlds share the same historical roots." Lisailiu said.
"Perhaps there is some origin to this, who knows." Qin Ge said with a smile, and at that moment he couldn't help recalling how, back when he studied in his own world, his classmates had recommended Azure Lane to him.
"In my own world, Azure Lane was just a game, but in this world it is an existing fact."
Qin Ge could not regard this world as a game world, because each of his shipgirls has an independent personality and independent thoughts; they are that vivid and lively.
Moreover, would the other humans in this world be NPCs?
Qin Ge involuntarily shook his head; Xu Xin, Lao Wan, and every person he has encountered have the goal of staying alive. If even they were merely NPCs, then what was the world he originally came from?
Perhaps the Azure Lane game in his original world is a reflection of this world, representing a reflection of the multiverse.
Thinking of this, Qin Ge suddenly recalled the dream he once had. In it, Xinong said to him some incomprehensible words, but he believes that with the passage of time, perhaps the truth will be placed before him.
Afterwards, he continued an in-depth discussion with the Soviet Union and others, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a Siren fleet.
Thus he could only hastily end the discussion and switch to combat mode.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye the third day had passed, and Qin Ge and company welcomed the fourth day's sun, also welcoming back the supply transport team formed by Peter Strasse and others.
"Commander, we have not disgraced our mission; we successfully brought the supplies back." Peter Strasse said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, turned his head, and through the command ship's window saw the people outside carrying out the resupply.
"Thank you for your hard work; with these supplies we can resume preparations to set out, and clearing the Sirens in this sea area will be a bit faster."
"Also, how is Iron Blood's situation now? While we clear the Siren-infested sea here, does it help their defenses?"
Peter Strasse nodded, pointed to a not-so-distant place, and curiously looked at the fleet's Z1 and others, saying, "The Iron Blood defense line has gradually stabilized; although small Siren fleets still appear, they can currently cope relying solely on the Grand Fleet formed by the commander."
"Therefore, on this return, the Iron Blood coordinator Tirpitz can dispatch these destroyers and submarines to escort us."
Qin Ge nodded, "It seems the effect we brought is also immediate, and with these destroyers and submarines, when other factions appear here we can also learn about Iron Blood's changes through them."
"This way they can put their minds at ease regarding their own faction, and will be more proactive in clearing the remaining Siren outposts in this sea area."
"Yes, precisely for this reason, after arriving here I had Scharnhorst transfer the supply distribution task to Z1 and her team; this also lets them have better contact with other factions." Peter Strasse laughed.
"Hmm, well done; I'll entrust this to you." Qin Ge said, "If our progress goes smoothly from now on, by the time of the next resupply we might already have finished clearing."
"However, I still have some worries about the Arbiter; we have cleared so much sea area, yet they have shown no sign at all, and this silence is somewhat strange." Peter Strasse said.
Qin Ge and Zhenhai exchanged a glance, and Zhenhai explained to Peter Strasse, "Actually there is another explanation: the Arbiter is currently weighing things in their mind."
"Weighing?" Peter Strasse frowned, "Could what Zhenhai said be the Remnant's squad?"
Zhenhai nodded, "The reason the Remnant stays in the dark is mostly to play a deterrent role."
"The Arbiter's task is to monitor the Remnant's whereabouts and prevent them from sabotaging the test site; given that we are currently conducting the experiment and the Remnant has not acted, they likely can only watch."
"Perhaps only when we finally trigger the last battle will both sides possibly engage in a direct confrontation."
Peter Strasse nodded, "Then I roughly understand the situation; thus we will steadily advance, prioritizing the resolution of the Siren Tide issues of the major factions."
"And when these problems are all resolved, that will be the time for us to have a direct showdown with the Arbiter."
"Yes." Qin Ge nodded, "Even if each faction's leader understands this, these past few days our progress has slowed due to a shortage of supplies, but now that you have returned bringing changes from Iron Blood, I believe they will definitely speed up afterward."
"Perhaps we won't even need a week; by then we could clear all the Siren outposts in the periphery, after which the decisive battle in the central sea will take place."
"It's a shame we can only be spectators this time; truly somewhat unwilling." Peter Strasse said.
Qin Ge laughed and shook his head, "Everything has a process, and our growth also needs a process, just as you have already begun to awaken; you will surely become stronger and stronger."
"After this battle ends, we will bring those Remnants back to the port area; then you can discuss with them how to continue growing stronger, and I believe that in the next battle we will not be mere spectators but the main force."
"Then I'll take the commander's auspicious words as a loan." Peter Strasse laughed, "Since the mission has been handed over, I should return to the fleet now; currently we must prioritize efficiency."
"Hmm."
