Chapter 958: Ship Equipment Modification

The talk with Bisimai didn't last long; both were decisive people, especially Qin Ge, who had already prepared everything beforehand, and all that was needed up to now was Bisimai's attitude.

Now that Bisimai has stated his attitude, there's no need to consider anything further.

After Qin Ge finally finished today's work, the two of them and A Furore, having notified the few people who had returned yesterday, left the office and I came to the research institute, while the other few were also waiting here.

Commander.

Seeing Qin Ge arrive, everyone hurried forward to greet him.

"Well, you all moved really fast; I thought you wouldn't be back for a while," Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Hehe, ever since returning yesterday I've been looking forward to the ship equipment modification, so as soon as I got the commander's notice I rushed over." Bumblebee said without hiding anything, his whole body filled with excitement, clearly caring a lot about this ship equipment modification.

"Hehe, I'm also really looking forward to how you'll look after the modification; I'm sure you'll become much stronger," Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Of course!" Ha Man said tsundere from the side.

Qin Ge smiled, rubbed his nose, then looked at Sheng Di Ya Ge and Xi Li, saying, "Your modifications can wait until later; let them undergo ship equipment modification first."

"It's fine, Commander; we're not in a rush anyway." Xi Li seemed indifferent, since being summoned by Qin Ge this time was just for the modification, so it's only a matter of timing; she had no worries.

Seeing Sheng Di Ya Ge and Xi Li nod, Qin Ge turned to look at the waiting Hai Lun Na, saying, "Hai Lun Na, can we start now?"

"It can be done anytime; the equipment debugging is finished, Commander just needs to wait here." Hai Lun Na said, then turned to everyone and asked, "Who should we start with?"

"I'll go first!" Bumblebee declared without hesitation.

Hai Lun Na looked at Qin Ge, who nodded, then said to Bumblebee, "The ship equipment modification will make one feel dizzy; it's equivalent to a complete reshaping of one's own ship equipment, so there will be a period of temporary loss of consciousness."

"But don't worry, it's only temporary and will be resolved quickly."

"I understand; I still trust Hai Lun Na completely with her work, and besides, my sister and I previously participated in the research and development of this project, so I have some understanding of the process." Bumblebee said with a smile.

"Well then, please have Bumblebee enter the machine; to ensure normal operation, upon entering the machine your hands and feet will be restrained and the hatch will be closed." Hai Lun Na reminded Bumblebee.

"Okay."

Bumblebee answered cheerfully and walked into the huge machine before him; outwardly it looked somewhat like a construction device, but it was larger than a construction device by more than a margin.

Countless pipes and cables were connected to the huge machine, giving it a very sci-fi appearance.

Only saw Bumblebee walk to the side of the machine; Hai Lun Na pressed the hatch button, and the hatch slowly opened. Seeing the humanoid cabin inside, Bumblebee stepped forward and lay down.

After positioning her arms and body, several belts shot out from the side gap and tightly fastened her hands and feet. Although Hai Lun Na had explained it beforehand, Bumblebee still seemed a bit surprised, but she quickly reacted, gave up resistance, and lay fully relaxed in the cabin.

"Then we'll begin now; it won't take long and will finish soon."

Hai Lun Na spoke while pressing the machine's button; immediately the hatch slowly closed, and everyone could no longer see Bumblebee.

Meanwhile, on the screen connected to the machine beside her, rows of numbers instantly appeared. Hai Lun Na rapidly tapped the keyboard, her eyes intensely focused, staring fixedly at the constantly changing numbers on the screen.

After a series of keystrokes, Hai Lun Na pressed a red button on the keyboard. Immediately the whole machine began to shake violently, and during the shaking it also started producing some rumbling sounds, just like the changes of the Wisdom Cube during construction.

It stands to reason that producing such a commotion here is also because, during the ship equipment modification, the Wisdom Cube needs to undergo a certain change.

The whole process wasn't slow at all; on the contrary, it was even faster than the time used for construction. The machine's rumbling lasted only a while before gradually quieting down, and after the rumbling subsided, the modification machine's hatch began to gradually open slowly.

Just as a crack opened in the hatch, a golden light shone out from the gap, and along with the light came a thick mist.

Qin Ge froze for a moment; he knew that modification could raise a shipgirl's level by one, but he wondered whether merely changing the ship equipment could also raise a shipgirl's rarity by one.

After all, Bumblebee was originally an elite shipgirl, and the golden light shining from the hatch clearly shows that she has already been modified into a Super Rare Shipgirl.

In fact, it wasn't just Qin Ge; a few others also exclaimed in surprise, obviously amazed that the ship equipment modification could raise a shipgirl's rarity.

At this moment, Lan Li looked at Hai Lun Na and said, "Hai Lun Na, may I ask you something?"

"Sure." Hai Lun Na replied, "Go ahead."

"I underwent modification before, raising from ordinary to rare; if I undergo ship equipment modification afterward, will it raise me to elite?" Lan Li asked.

"I don't know the specifics, because all the data are recorded in your Wisdom Cube; only after you go in and the machine reads the Dossier information from your Wisdom Cube can we determine whether the ship equipment modification will result in a qualitative leap." Hai Lun Na said.

"So that's how it is; I understand." Lan Li nodded.

During the conversation, the hatch fully opened, the thick mist gradually dissipated with the air, revealing before everyone a figure the same as the previous Bumblebee but with a different demeanor as a shipgirl, and especially compared to the previous physiques of Sheng Di Ya Ge and Xi Li, this Bumblebee's physique was obviously much better than before.

Moreover, besides the physique, the attire was much bolder than before. If before it had a hint of a Western cowboy feel, now it was completely a bikini-clad Western cowboy.

Amid everyone's astonishment, Bumblebee opened her eyes, then smiled and said to everyone, "I am the Aisaikesi-class aircraft carrier, the mighty Bumblebee who has gained new power! Honestly speaking, aside from the ship equipment and combat power, there isn't much difference from before... Commander, don't look at me like this, I'm still grateful, okay?"

Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh, "Seeing you like this, I'm relieved."
