Chapter 92
Looking at the full two-hour time displayed on the screen, Qin Ge couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Because within this full two-hour period, only two options could exist inside this heavy construction device.
One is the White Eagle's Baltimore-class, and the other is the Iron Blood's Admiral Hipper-class.
"Both of these shipgirl classes have left behind many legendary battles; whichever comes out, it won't be a loss." Qin Ge looked excitedly at the time on the construction device's screen, and unconsciously clenched his fist.
Then he took out the rapid construction tool and placed it into the recess below the construction device, and at the same time pressed the start button.
With the construction device's rumbling sound, the two-hour time on its screen instantly reset to zero, and the hatch slowly opened at that moment.
As they opened, thick mist gradually seeped out, and a golden light also shone through. When the construction device's hatch was fully opened, the smoke and mist dispersed, and a figure appeared before Qin Ge.
She wore a red-black military uniform, had long white hair, with a red streak at her left eye, and two red hair clips held her twin tails.
"I am the miracle of the Iron Blood Third Reich, the Admiral Hipper-class third ship, the Ou Gen Qin Wang; no matter what battle, I can survive!" Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge.
However, accompanied by her narrowed eyes, Qin Ge realized that the Ou Gen Qin Wang he had summoned was examining him. Facing such scrutiny, Qin Ge naturally would not retreat: "Hello, Ou Gen Qin Wang, I am Qin Ge, and from now on I will be your commander."
Ou Gen Qin Wang raised his left hand and touched his lips, saying, "Hmm… you're the commander, then how much can you please me? I'm really looking forward to it~"
"Pleasurable?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.
"Literally." Ou Gen Qin Wang said calmly.
"Oh." Qin Ge nodded as if he understood, but then shook his head as if he didn't get it. After all, Ou Gen Qin Wang's behavior was too different from that of other shipgirls.
However, this did not affect Qin Ge's happiness, because in his world, Ou Gen Qin Wang was a very famous heavy cruiser.
Upon entering service, she experienced the Battle of the Denmark Strait together with the Bisimai; in the Seaburg Operation, Ou Gen Qin Wang returned to Germany unscathed, and after World War II ended, she was the only large surface warship still operational in the German Navy.
Furthermore, her most famous feat was surviving the Crossroads Operation, where after enduring the explosion of two atomic bombs, she remained unscathed and even suffered no serious damage. Therefore, her existence is often called a lucky ship or an unsinkable ship.
However, Qin Ge is no fool; he certainly wouldn't say these things directly to Ou Gen Qin Wang. After all, for a warship, a lucky ship actually represents loneliness.
Because his own luck would highlight his companions' misfortune, just like the White Eagle's Enterprise and the Sakura Empire's Snow Wind.
If they were steel warships, they could still tease the crew aboard, but now they have become girls, and what they say is a mockery of them.
Of course, excluding the heartless……
Regarding the somewhat mysterious Ou Gen Qin Wang, Qin Ge decided to still get to know each other, leaving it for later life. Although the Shipgirl Compendium has a few hints, this can only serve as a reference, because each shipgirl's growth environment differs.
"Although I don't really understand your meaning, I'll still introduce you to your companions first." Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.
"Of course." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.
Thus Qin Ge casually tidied up, picked up the Wisdom Cube at his feet and the remaining supplies, and brought Ou Gen Qin Wang before all the shipgirls.
"Let me introduce them." Qin Ge had just said this when his own shipgirl interrupted him.
"Commander, you don't need to introduce this one; after all, who doesn't know the solemn Ou Gen Qin Wang of Iron Blood?" Weineituo said with a smile to Qin Ge.
"Sardinian Empire's flagship, Weineituo?" Ou Gen Qin Wang also said, somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that your fleet still has someone like you; I'm starting to find this interesting."
"Do you two know each other?" Qin Ge wondered.
"No, I've only heard of it; after all, for a period of time Iron Blood was our ally, so we naturally know something about allies." Weineituo said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, "Then today's summoning ends here; let's all go home first and, by the way, arrange your dormitories."
"Huh, Commander, don't you still have a lot of supplies and cubes there? Aren't you going to use them all up?" Weineituo said doubtfully.
Qin Ge shook his head, "My original plan this time was to construct three shipgirls; since I've already built you three, there's no need to waste supplies any further."
"Oh, Commander, why did you want to build three shipgirls?" Ou Gen Qin Wang asked intriguingly.
Qin Ge replied, "Because our fleet's previous configuration was one aircraft carrier and two light cruisers. So mobility and anti-air were fine, but the only lacking aspects were firepower and frontal capability."
So the construction of heavy cruisers and battleships was to make up for deficiencies in firepower and frontal capability, while destroyers were for more conveniently scouting enemy positions, terrain, and vision.
"So our Fleet currently consists of one heavy cruiser, one destroyer, two light cruisers, one aircraft carrier one battleship?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said.
"「Correct. 」 Qin Ge nodded.
"「Really, it's a rather mediocre setup—firepower not outstanding, air defense not outstanding, frontal capability not outstanding, lacking everything. 」 Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed, 「Can you tell me, Commander, why you did this? 」"
Qin Ge nodded, 「It's precisely because this configuration is so mediocre that I chose it. Mediocrity represents higher practicality; no matter what situation we encounter, we can come up with countermeasures. Unlike those who take extreme routes, when faced with a situation they can't handle, they end up clueless. 」"
"「A reasonable explanation, but taking the extreme route means being able to achieve the greatest results with the smallest cost. 」 Ou Gen Qin Wang said without yielding."
"「But our Fleet is still in its early stages, so we can only consider applicability for now, not direct targeting. 」 Qin Ge smiled at Ou Gen Qin Wang."
"「Ah, it's been a long time since I felt this match of equals, Commander—I'm really looking forward to you. 」 Ou Gen Qin Wang said to the radiant Qin Ge; at this moment, she finally truly acknowledged Qin Ge."
