Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1217 The Development History of Cube Ballistic Missile Technology

"Ah, I indeed forgot to mention this to you."

When Yixian heard him asking about the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile, he realized that he had not yet introduced it to the commander.

"To be precise, Commander, it is a joint research and development project between the four major factions of Donghuang, White Eagle, Northern Alliance and Iron Blood."

Yixian paused, and seeing a bench on the side of the road, he smiled and suggested to Lin Lan:

"Commander, why don't we take a break first? I'll go to the Manchu post at the port to get you some herbal tea and then I'll introduce it to you in detail."

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Lin Lan agreed with a smile and took out his mobile terminal to check the time.

It's still five o'clock in the afternoon.

It should be just the right time for him to attend the banquet after listening to Yixian and Zhenhai introducing the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile to him.

The season in Dongzhou is indeed approaching summer now. He has already had some sweat on his forehead after walking just a short distance.

A can of herbal tea is perfect at this time.

He Zhenhai came and sat down on the chairs. Soon, Yixian brought each of them a can of red iced herbal tea.

Taking the herbal tea, Lin Lan looked at the cheerful blessing pattern on the can and couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Jiujiu Jili brand herbal tea... it's obvious that this is the product that Akashi asked you to endorse, right?"

"Yes, Ding'an and Akashi discussed this."

Yixian sat beside him, smiled at him gently and said:

"The formula and production workshop are all from our Donghuang camp. This herbal tea beverage is very popular in the whole Hong Kong area. Commander, please comment on it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lan opened the can and took a sip under the expectant gazes of the two Donghuang ship girls.

The sweet but not greasy liquid went down his throat, almost sweeping away the heat he had just felt.

"It's delicious! This is the best herbal tea I've ever had in my... two lifetimes!"

After all, he was not a food connoisseur, and all the words of praise and admiration in his heart finally turned into just this sentence.

But after hearing his praise, Yixian and Zhenhai couldn't stop smiling:

"As long as the commander likes it, please be careful not to drink too many cold drinks, as it will harm your body."

After giving the gentle instructions, Yixian and Zhenhai opened the can and tasted the drink gently.

Looking at the barbarians who drove the forklift to transport the containers, Yixian and Zhenhai also introduced to him the development of the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile.

"In fact, the preliminary framework of the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile was completed before we set out with our companions in the Northern Union."

Yixian continued the topic that he had not finished talking about, and recalled to him:

"I believe you, Commander, already know that when we first arrived in the Northern Province, we fought against the alien race from the Saint Lothalon Teaching Country.

"The Lord of the Cyclops King's Court who led the alien army to invade Natlan, according to our observation, is a biological weapon transformed by the Siren."

Hearing Yixian talking about biological weapons, Lin Lan instinctively thought of the Sea Lord Leviathan.

According to the information Ariel provided to him and the White Eagle Ship Girls, the immortal deep-sea beast from the Doctrine Nation seemed to also be from the Doctrine Nation of Saint Lothal.

He did not interrupt, but continued to listen to Yixian's memories.

"The prototype Rubik's Cube ballistic missiles at that time did not have precision guidance capabilities, and the Cyclops had always been hiding behind the battlefield, making it difficult for carrier-based aircraft to cross the battlefield and launch air strikes.

"In order to destroy the Cyclops in one fell swoop and get rid of the aliens controlled by the Sirens, Nakhimov suddenly had an idea and found Huanchang, intending to use Huanchang's hexagram deduction to accurately guide the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile. "Facts have proved that Nakhimov is indeed a scientific genius. After she debugged the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile, it adapted to Huanchang's hexagram orbit and successfully hit the Cyclops and severely damaged it."

When Lin Lan heard the name Nakhimov, she couldn't help but look nostalgic.

Pr.23AV Soviet Union-class battleship converted into an aircraft carrier, Admiral Nakhimov.

The green short-haired scientific research aircraft carrier girl belonging to the Northern Alliance is also a clingy cat-eared girl with a sci-fi ship outfit.

He really didn't expect that the metaphysical guidance technology finally used by the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile was proposed and adopted by Nakhimov.

"But Yixian, you said that the Cyclops was only seriously injured...wasn't it blown to pieces on the spot?"

But Lin Lan soon realized that the words Yixian used were not right.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the power of the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile, which could directly destroy three Deloys!

What did that Cyclops from the Doctrine Nation eat to grow up? How could he be more durable than Agent Deloy?

“Ah, that’s actually the case.”

He asked Yixian not to rush into matters, and then explained with a slightly regretful tone:
“The high-pressure cube energy contained in the cube ballistic missiles at that time was not as powerful as the current mass-produced ones.

"The body of the Cyclops transformed by the Siren was indeed vaporized, but the core of the Meta-Cube was exposed, and it was resurrected and regenerated not long after.

"However, even though it was resurrected by the Meta Cube, according to the observations of the carrier-based aircraft, it had become extremely weak and retreated back to the Cliff Ice Forest with its remaining troops."

When Lin Lan heard Yixian say the three words "Yuan Mofang", his original surprise was instantly relieved.

Putting aside the fact that the Rubik's Cube ballistic missile was still a prototype at that time, it took him and the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls a lot of effort to completely kill the Sea Lord Leviathan in Yunhai City.

In order to fight against X, the experimental agency also used the magic cube technology to transform these alien creatures.

Based on his understanding of the bad character of the observer, the reason why the Cyclops led the alien army to attack the border of the Northern Great Wall just when the Donghuang and Northern Alliance ship girls arrived in the Northern Province of Natlan...

It is probably the same as before, with the experimental organization letting the ship girls from the two camps accompany them to collect experimental materials and combat data.

Fortunately, Antiks is no longer carrying out her crazy Inquisitor plan.

He told Yixian and Zhenhai about the battle between the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl and the Sea Lord Leviathan, and the two Donghuang Ship Girls couldn't help but marvel at it.

And Yixian quickly brought the topic back on track:
“After that war, the Rubik’s Cube ballistic missile technology matured, and we and our companions in the Northern Union began mass production of ballistic missiles.

“These Rubik’s Cube ballistic missiles cannot be miniaturized like ship-mounted equipment.

“So after discussion, we finally decided to use mass-produced missile launchers and underground launch silos as the launch platform for the Rubik’s Cube ballistic missile.

“After arriving in Dongzhou, we also built launch silos in the wilderness of each Dongzhou County. Since these launch silos are controlled by Huanchang’s hexagrams, they can still operate even if long-distance communications fail now.

"But generally speaking, everyone in Donghuang still chooses to use the ship's storage space to carry mass-produced missile launchers, which will be more convenient during combat."

Yixian said this in a calm tone, but Lin Lan opened his eyes wide.

He seemed to hear Yixian say something extraordinary in a calm tone.

The Air Force fishing buddy who he just met again in the restaurant this morning...is he so awesome?
According to Yixian, Huanchang can control the Donghuang missile silos in the entire Dongzhou. Doesn't that mean Huanchang can cause all the county towns in Dongzhou to be hit by saturation Rubik's Cube ballistic missiles in a moment?
He took a long breath to calm himself, then drank the herbal tea in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He seemed to understand that the essence of Rubik's Cube technology is indeed metaphysics.

Whether it is Shinano and Unzen who can travel in dreams, or Huanchang who can use hexagrams to deduce missile trajectories and launchers.

The moment he got serious, he had already lost.
