Chapter 803: Main Island

What are you saying? This place has already become a Mirror Sea?!

Seeing the senior leaders of all factions showing shocked expressions, Emperor Frederick nodded and said, "That's right, this is the true situation of this sea area. The reason I previously said I was paying attention to your movements is because I wanted you to see the true side of this sea area. If you had come when it was calm and peaceful, that would have been somewhat impolite."

"So, is the central device of this Mirror Sea currently in a shut-down state?" Enterprise frowned.

"It should have been reopened now." Emperor Frederick smiled.

"So what are you Iron Blood up to again? Does the commander know about this?" King George V frowned.

"Are you referring to the construction inside, or the matter of this Mirror Sea?" Emperor Frederick asked.

"It seems you've been keeping it hidden all along." Lisailiu frowned.

"After all, there are some things it's not good for my child to know. Although he is now extremely decisive, he always puts us first. For a leader, everyone can be seen as a pawn, even oneself."

"My child hasn't yet reached such a state, so I can only selectively keep things from him. And this time opening up to you is because we are the same— as the commander's closest confidants, and also as weapons forged for slaughter." Emperor Frederick smiled as he spoke these words; in an instant, the recent accusations fell silent.

"How interesting. I wonder what surprise your Iron Blood can bring us this time? It surely isn't as big a surprise as the previous Ship Conversion, right?" Wuzang smiled.

"Heh, indeed, it's as expected of you." Emperor Frederick laughed and nodded. "Of course it can't be like Ship Conversion, causing a qualitative change, but it will be of great help to our future battle direction and strategy, and to having absolute say in this world."

"Absolute say?" Zhenhai caught onto a sensitive term. "Interesting, it seems you already know something. Surprisingly, the first thing you brought up wasn't the Sirens, but other factions."

"Indeed, you are one of my child's most valued strategists; your reaction is very keen." Emperor Frederick smiled and said, "The specifics can be discussed after we reach the Main Island; I believe you'll know everything once you get there."

The crowd stopped asking questions and instead followed Emperor Frederick as they sailed through the sea mist.

Until, a tall tower gradually appeared before them. It was a tower wholly black and red, its exterior resembling the central support pillar inside a Siren outpost.

The crowd was greatly surprised: when was this tower built? And what materials were used? Didn't Emperor Frederick earlier say he would take them to the Main Island? How did we end up here?

The crowd's doubts and confusion reached their peak upon approaching that tower, in the midst of Emperor Frederick turning around and saying a single line.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Main Island."

"Is this Main Island just that tower?" The crowd doubted uncertainly.

"Yes, this is the Main Island we built."

A voice came from the entrance; hearing it, the crowd looked over and saw Bisimai's figure appear there.

"Bisimai!"

"Yes, I know you have many questions now, but regarding the specifics, please come inside and I'll explain in detail later." Bisimai kept her cold, aloof expression, then looked at Emperor Frederick and said, "Trouble you."

"No problem, I'll go arrange their tour schedule first; the subsequent explanation will be up to you." Emperor Frederick said.

"Hmm." Bisimai nodded, gestured to the crowd, and then walked into the tower.

At this moment, although the crowd was full of doubts, they still followed along. Now they belong to the same fleet, believing Bisimai wouldn't do anything to oppose them.

Along the way, several faction leaders also discovered that the shipgirls here weren't only from Iron Blood; there were also shipgirls from their own factions. However, they had initially been assigned to work at this experimental field, but thereafter rarely returned to the port area.

"Fearless, you're also here." Enterprise saw a familiar figure and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Enterprise, hehe, looks like I won't have to hide so painstakingly from now on." Fearless laughed and said.

"So you've always known what's going on here?" Enterprise asked, stunned.

"Yeah, I've known since the first day. But because we agreed to keep it secret, even if it's you, I can't tell you." Fearless shrugged. "Anyway, now that you've come, you can all know everything."

"By the way, Bisimai, are you preparing to give them a lecture?" Fearless asked.

"That's right, so go attend to your work; our time is very tight." Bisimai said.

"Understood." Fearless nodded and said to the doubtful Enterprise, "Rest assured, everything being done here is for our fleet's future, and will absolutely not touch your bottom line."

After saying that, Fearless left the passage for a place unknown to Enterprise and them.

Finally, Bisimai led everyone to a place similar to a meeting room, but compared to the meeting room in the port area, this one was filled with a sense of technology. Everything was made of steel and glass, even the stools.

Once everyone was seated, Bisimai said to them, "So you now have any doubts, anything you want to know, you can bring it all up."

Facing Bisimai's words, everyone at this moment actually wasn't in a rush. They exchanged glances, and Wuzang was the first to ask Bisimai, "Let's talk about this Main Island first; it's clear it's the hub of this Mirror Sea, so what does it signify?"

Bisimai nodded, "Just as you guessed, the Main Island is indeed the hub of this Mirror Sea; in fact, the concept of this hub started long ago. The earliest trace goes back to when we first encountered the Mirror Sea, starting from Sun Moon Island."

"After seeing the Sirens' Mirror Sea, we got the idea for a Mirror Sea ourselves—if the Sirens can have a Mirror Sea as a concealment method, couldn't we use a Mirror Sea as a concealment method too?"

"Afterward, a Mirror Sea incident occurred near Sun Moon Island, which I believe many of you have also experienced. After resolving that Mirror Sea, we obtained nearly all data on Mirror Seas, including the core data."

"Upon arriving here, superficially we are working on mass-produced battleships, but we are also secretly constructing the Mirror Sea. Including the sea mist you see in the sea area, which was previously transformed from a micro-layered mixture."

"Because back then we all knew the Sirens were constantly monitoring us, wanting to strike unexpectedly, we had to do it this way."
