Chapter 866: The Possibility of Changing Ship Equipment

Sigh, time passes so quickly; if you're not careful, it's already dusk. Qin Ge looked at the sky and said somewhat emotionally.

Hehe, that's because everyone in the Gangqu participated in the competition very enthusiastically; this time almost everyone took part, right? Guanghui asked with a smile.

Qin Ge chuckled, "That's not necessarily true; I haven't seen Zhang Men and Tiancheng."

Tiancheng beside him couldn't help but smile, "The Divine Son pays attention to his own bearing, so he didn't participate; moreover, I mostly refrained because the lord had already promised me a lifelong commitment, so I should let others have this chance—besides, my body doesn't allow me to do such vigorous exercise."

Qin Ge looked at him and said, "Actually, Tiancheng, I've also considered your physical problem; although up to now this problem remains a major difficulty troubling us, but I previously discussed a possibility with Helen."

That is, the Ship Equipment you currently wear is not immutable; of course, the Ship Equipment I refer to here is not the main-gun weapons you can freely swap, but the Ship Equipment inherent to the warship you represent.

Take refitting as an example; you can see many ships that, after refitting, have become completely different from before. Such changes mostly stem from alterations to your prototype ships, leading to outward appearance changes.

However, there is something quite interesting: no matter what kind of refitting you undergo, your soul's memory and consciousness remain that of your current body.

So is there a possibility that we replace all of your Ship Equipment entirely, using brand-new Ship Equipment to constitute your prototype ship, so you wouldn't be tormented by the harm caused by the keel fracture of your previous prototype ship?

"This... lord, this possibility is probably minuscule, right?" Tiancheng's eyes showed a flash of delight, but he quickly thought of something and regained his usual composure.

"Yes, commander, such a change involves many aspects—not just mastery of Cube technology but also mastery of Ship Equipment technology; many of these technologies are currently beyond what our Gangqu can achieve." Hood beside him nodded and said.

I actually think the commander's proposal is very novel; the ship girls' bodies appear vastly different from human bodies in composition, but if we transmute steel into flesh and blood, we can clearly perceive the commonalities.

With the advancement of medical technology, if a human body part necrotizes or becomes abnormal, it can be artificially replaced. Then, conversely, would the ship girls' bodies, as our mastered technology advances, produce the same effect?

I believe our combination with the Wisdom Cube is full of possibilities; if the answer from the primordial world wasn't written incorrectly, then the energy represented by the Wisdom Cube comes from a higher-dimensional world. The energy we currently release is merely a small part of it; if we could truly master this energy, wouldn't our strength be able to advance further?

In short, I think we shouldn't be limited by our current perspective; we should strive to explore and master more technology. This would be greatly beneficial for both our fleet's development and the enemies we will face in the future." King George V said with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't expect the Royal, known for tradition and conservatism, to have such far-sighted foresight?" Ou Gen Qin Wang looked at King George V with some surprise, astonished by her just-expressed view.

As everyone knows, in the Gangqu, the factions that continuously research new technology and accept more changes, aside from Iron Blood, are the Northern Union and the Sakura Empire, White Eagle.

"Hehe, although we respect tradition, that doesn't mean we won't accept new ideas. Clinging to the old ways only speeds up our demise; continually accepting new things and finding common ground with them is what ensures lasting prosperity." King George V said.

"When you say that, it reminds me of the commander's earlier mention of another world's Great Britain; it seems they haven't grasped or understood your words." Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a smile.

Although the tone was full of teasing, nobody detected any malice in it.

King George V laughed, "A country has too many constraints; there are many different opinions and forces, and in their reconciliation it appears very conservative, even making some mistaken choices—that's unavoidable.

But we are not a country now; we are a group. Our group has a clear leader, and our group is united in sincerity; if that's the case, what is there to worry about?"

"Oh, interesting." Ou Gen Qin Wang rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Cough, you've taken the topic too far, just as I said before; although this is merely an idea now, it doesn't mean it lacks the possibility of realization." Qin Ge said, "Although our current task is to defeat the Sirens, after defeating the Sirens we still need to continue existing, so we cannot regard defeating the Sirens as our goal; it is merely a small step in our process."

Just as when I initially named the Grand Fleet, our dream forever remains the stars and the sea. If one day we can break free from Earth's limits and roam the true Xing Hai, the stage awaiting us will be even broader.

Therefore, the day when any idea can become a possibility—regarding this possibility, the ship girls of the research institute are also striving; we should be full of hope.

"As the lord said, I also greatly look forward to that day, being able to be with you without any worries." Tiancheng said somewhat moved.

"Hehe, everyone's topic is a bit too heavy; now is the time for rest and entertainment, especially under such a beautiful sunset." Hood smiled.

"That's true." Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "I seem to smell the aroma of roasted meat."

At that moment, a laughing voice came over; only to see Belfast carrying a plate of roasted meat over to the table nearby.

"Master's nose is truly keen; these are freshly grilled meat skewers, please, ladies and master, enjoy."

Qin Ge smiled, looking at the skewers on the table, and said to Belfast, "Have the others eaten already? We're not in that much of a hurry."

"Hehe, master, rest assured; we prepared plenty for this barbecue, enough to feed everyone in the Gangqu." Belfast said.

"All right." Qin Ge nodded, "By the way, who's doing the grilling?"

"The Maid Corps, along with some young ladies from the Sakura Empire, as well as a few from Iron Blood and Donghuang." Belfast replied.

Qin Ge nodded, "I'll go take a look at them later."

"Yes, master."
