Chapter 780: Feelings, Expectations, and Resonance

"Feelings, expectations, and resonance!" Hai Lun Na said to Qin Ge.

"I don't quite understand." Qin Ge said doubtfully, "I believe I and my shipgirls are not lacking in feelings and expectations, and I also believe that other commanders besides me are not lacking in feelings and expectations, but they rarely have awakened shipgirls, let alone turning them into warships."

"No, Commander Qin Ge, I think what I'm saying and what you're talking about are two different things." Hai Lun Na smiled, "The feelings and expectations you refer to arise from the experiences you go through together after summoning the imitations."

But the feelings and expectations I refer to are those of humanity toward them when they were steel warships.

Qin Ge blinked, "The era of steel warships? That means they weren't shipgirls then?"

"Yes, after looking at the dossier, you should find that the original world also experienced the First and Second World Wars, and its timeline basically matches that of the world Commander Qin Ge is in."

Furthermore, as I mentioned before, the Faint Light Plan utilizes the hull of CV65, the wreckage of CV6, and the original captain of the Enterprise, then through a complex process conducts resonance among them, finally giving birth to Key Point G, which is the Enterprise.

Therefore, the process required to turn imitations into true shipgirls is roughly similar to that. However, because your imitations already possess their own thoughts and will, there is no need for historical remnants.

Moreover, the steel for constructing their bodies, supplies, as well as the feelings toward the original warships and the expectation of becoming warships, are all indispensable.

Only in this way can resonance be achieved through the Wisdom Cube, allowing the imitations to further become true warships." Hai Lun Na explained.

"So you say I'm special? Is it because the history of my world roughly matches that of the original world?" Qin Ge asked.

"Not just that." Hai Lun Na smiled with deep meaning, "Many of these things cannot be explained to you now, but it can be said that you represent our future; please hold fast to your original intention and then do what you ought to do."

Qin Ge said helplessly, "Well, I've noticed you all are like riddle speakers, saying only half and always hiding the other half."

Let's get back to the topic, the steel and supplies you mentioned—according to our Gangqu's current strength, these can be achieved, but how can we make them resonate with them?

Hai Lun Na smiled, "We have our own methods; Commander Qin Ge can make the corresponding preparations in the near future."

Qin Ge nodded, "Alright, but steel certainly can't be obtained all at once in such large quantities; we can only get it bit by bit. Moreover, I've left my original world for several years, so I can't recall many specific details."

What's more, I study campaign tactics, so I'm not well-versed in warship structures.

Hai Lun Na laughed and shook her head, "We have the most complete database on warships; Commander Qin Ge can access it anytime."

"Oh, since you have a database, could we let other commanders in this world borrow it as well, so they can also transform their shipgirls into warships?" Qin Ge asked.

"That's a pity, they cannot." Feilong beside them shook his head, "Let me ask a simple question, Commander Qin Ge: if I mention the CV6 Enterprise aircraft carrier to you, would you first think of that steel warship, or your Enterprise?"

Qin Ge blinked, then understood, "So it's a matter of first impression?"

"Exactly, you first see the steel warship, your subconscious also holds the steel warship, and only later the warship. That's why you can do it while others cannot—the main reason." Feilong said.

"Well, then besides transforming all my shipgirls into warships, what other ways can boost their combat power?" Qin Ge asked.

"There are many ways to boost a warship's combat power, which basically fall into several major types." Hai Lun Na said, "Breakthrough, ship equipment, shipgirl teaching materials—these you already know; the rest are modification and awakening."

"Awakening aside for now, since you currently have no warship at all, when you do have one and when your warship can reach the goal, I will naturally tell you."

"For now, the only way to increase strength left is modification; I see that your Gangqu has a few modified warships, but many warships have not undergone modification—I want to know why."

"Cough, there are no modification blueprints..." Qin Ge said embarrassedly, "The reason they can be modified is still because the Sirens earlier gave me some blueprints..."

"Well, I basically understand now; regarding your Gangqu's scientific and technological capabilities, you really are lagging behind." Hai Lun Na said helplessly, "Next we will impart knowledge related to modification to you—not just warship modification, but also ship equipment modification. There are also other related bits of knowledge; we hope our efforts can keep up."

"\"Keep up? \" What does that mean?" Qin Ge asked.

"Commander Qin Ge, you surely don't really think we've already defeated those Arbiters, do you?" Hai Lun Na asked.

"Isn't that so? I personally saw you defeat them." Qin Ge said.

"Sorry, we only defeated their shells, not their true selves. Moreover, the information of our world has already been locked onto by them; when the next wave of attack comes, it will be a battle that decides victory or defeat."

"However, due to some temporal reasons, they cannot reach this world right now, but someday in the future they will surely come to this world; we must prepare for that decisive battle."

"Relying solely on us, we cannot surpass their complete forms, so we need your help." Hai Lun Na said.

Qin Ge nodded, "This is necessary; after all, this world is originally ours, having you help is already more than grateful, but if we merely act as spectators, that would truly be too shameful."

"Hehe, then let's wish for pleasant cooperation; for today we'll stop here. Commander Qin Ge has just returned to Gangqu, so regarding future cooperation, let's take it step by step." Hai Lun Na said.

"Mm."

After bidding farewell to Yujin's warships, Qin Ge took his shipgirls and left Yujin's residence, but they did not return to the dormitory; instead they went straight to Qin Ge's command room.

"How do you feel?" Qin Ge said to the leading shipgirls.

"I haven't noticed any problems, but I feel this is actually the biggest problem." Bisimai said, "Everything is too much of a coincidence, coincidental to the point of having no sense of incongruity."

"Perhaps we're just overthinking it?" Enterprise said.

"No, I think the most crucial point of this matter still lies with the commander..."
