Chapter 889

Continuing forward, missile warships appeared one after another before Qin Ge.

Looking at warships of various sizes, Qin Ge cocked his head and asked Ou Gen Qin Wang, "What is the range of these missiles? Does the range differ between warships? How many missiles can each carry at most?"

Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled and said to Qin Ge, "Commander, as someone from the missile era, you naturally care about this data. Let me tell you: missile warships similar to battleships can carry up to 160 missiles, with a maximum range of about 40 kilometers; those similar to cruisers carry fewer, up to about 80 missiles, with a maximum range of about 30 kilometers; while on small destroyers, they usually carry only eight missiles, with a range of about 20 kilometers."

Moreover, we have modified the destroyers: after firing all eight missiles, they activate their acceleration system, and we have implanted a self-destruct core in them, allowing them to become moving powder kegs like the Sirens' self-destruct ships.

Imagine a destroyer sailing at sixty to seventy knots, loaded with a large amount of explosives, charging into the enemy formation, and then exploding—what a sight that would be.

Qin Ge blinked. "Sixty to seventy knots… isn't that just a ship‑type torpedo?"

Hehe, Commander, that analogy is quite fitting—pretty much exactly like that.' Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

Qin Ge rolled his eyes. "But isn't that a bit too wasteful?"

War only has winning or losing, no notion of waste. As long as we can gain more combat results at a small cost, then whatever it is, it is a Victory for our Gangqu.

Moreover, these destroyers are mass-produced types; they only need the simplest Sirens mass-produced wreckage to be easily assembled, and they don't require much intelligence—just the ability to simply receive and execute orders.

So it won't take long, we can form a torpedo boat squadron! As long as each of these destroyers can sink an enemy capital ship, we profit! Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

Qin Ge curled their lips, "Well, just handle these things yourselves, but from now on, every battle report on the battlefield must be written in more detail."

Hehe, Commander, are you worried our Gangqu will get poorer the more we fight? Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

As long as we keep winning, where does the idea of getting poorer the more we fight come from? I mean, at the very least you should let me know how much profit we make per battle in our Gangqu. Qin Ge laughed.

Hah, Commander, our materials have been used since the last Siren Tide up to now; what do you think we can earn per battle? Ou Gen Qin Wang said teasingly.

Ah? Qin Ge expressed some surprise, "It's been a year already, and it's still not used up?"

No, after we cleared our waters, the Commander led Gangqu's elite to begin support operations, while most of the remaining people have been busy with this for several months. Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "Furthermore, this time we reached an agreement with the Sakura Empire and the Royal, having them send all valuable Sirens wreckage to the temporary base; we will regularly send people to clean it up, so the materials here can maintain our sustainability."

Qin Ge rolled their eyes, "Why didn't I know about this? Speaking of which, how much have you hidden from me?"

Hehe, isn't this meant to be a surprise for the Commander? What do you think of this surprise? Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

Qin Ge rubbed their nose, "Indeed a surprise—I didn't even notice you had gathered such strong combat power somewhere I didn't know about; it really astonishes me."

However, this combat power is only useful against the Sirens, but it has no effect whatsoever on the Arbitrators. Their gravity field, signal interference, etc., will turn these mass-produced types into useless scrap iron. Ou Gen Qin Wang said helplessly.

Being able to deal with the Sirens is already good enough. Qin Ge laughed, "In the future, our Gangqu will definitely focus more on strategic support; it's impossible to send a crowd to every faction, so things like this will definitely be put to use."

Each team taking out a mass-produced Fleet will definitely have a huge effect.

Indeed we've also considered this, so things like this have been under construction. Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, then she looked toward the front, where a dark tower loomed vaguely into view.

Commander, we will reach the main island shortly.

Qin Ge immediately looked ahead and saw a beam of light piercing through the thick black mist, as if guiding their way forward. Moreover, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated with the light's illumination, and the view gradually cleared.

Until, that extraordinarily majestic and magnificent tower appeared before the three of them; this extremely sci-fi architecture made Qin Ge unable to help but praise it.

This… this is your base in the test field, right? Qin Ge exclaimed, "Tsk, this kind of building—did you directly move the tower from the Sirens' outpost back here?"

Hehe, no. Although the materials on it indeed come from there, the vast majority were designed and built by us. The tower there is more suited to the Sirens, while this tower is more suited to shipgirls. Ou Gen Qin Wang explained.

Well, that's true; I can feel the difference. Qin Ge nodded.

As the three gradually approached, they successfully landed at the base of the tower and saw two figures standing there.

Welcome to the test field, Commander. Were you satisfied with the welcoming ceremony just now? Bisimai smiled.

Hehe, my child must be quite surprised, right? But there's even more surprise to come; during this time we have never stopped. Emperor Frederick chuckled.

Qin Ge looked back toward the sea and discovered that the missile battleships previously seen had completely vanished, as if the thick fog and those battleships had never appeared on the sea surface at all.

But on the wide sea surface, several towers rose up, evenly distributed across the water.

Is the reason those battleships disappeared due to those towers? Qin Ge asked.

Yes, this is something we developed according to the ability of Tianpa Lans. It can provide temporary invisibility for the mass-produced types, allowing them to better evade the Sirens' surveillance. Bisimai explained.

I see. Qin Ge nodded, turned to face Bisimai and Emperor Frederick, "Then take me to see your achievements; I want to see how far you've come."

Bisimai and Emperor Frederick exchanged a glance, then made way, saying to Qin Ge, "Please, Commander!"
