Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1341: Encountering Corrosive Substances Again
In the end, Lin Lan accepted the Soviet Alliance's proposal to build a defense line around the Demon King's inheritance site.

Just for safety reasons, he decided to conduct a field investigation with the ship girls before the Northern Joint Mechanized Mass Production Force was deployed.

After all, the inside of the Demon King's inheritance site is not safe, and the detection equipment deployed around it has been disconnected.

If the worst-case scenario occurs and the ancient Category V threat breaks through the seal, their defenses will be attacked from both sides.

The battle plan was finalized, and there was only half an hour left to reach the polar base.

Back in the lounge, Lin Lan thought for a moment and called all the girls to the top deck of the floating battleship.

The battleship girls in the future will most likely open fire on the decks of these high-speed floating battleships, so it is necessary to adapt to the battlefield in advance.

“All floating warships’ upper platforms are equipped with wind pressure blocking devices and gravity devices.

“The former is similar to Natlan’s wind-proof formation, which can effectively prevent people on the deck from being blown away by the airflow during high-speed flight.

"The latter can keep the gravity on the platform the same as on the ground, which will not affect the accuracy of the ship's artillery fire."

Princeton meta was like a tour guide at this time, providing scientific knowledge to Lin Lan and a group of ship girls on the way to the top deck.

"Oh, it really is a high-tech product!"

Fushun and Changchun cried out in surprise, while Taiyuan frowned and asked worriedly:

"But Sister Princeton, if we fight in the air, won't the torpedoes be useless?"

"This is an unavoidable situation due to environmental factors, but your ships should all be equipped with secondary guns, so they can still fight."

After answering Taiyuan's question, Princeton Meta patiently continued to explain:
“The reason why the Council developed the floating battleship is because the ocean is covered by X-attachment zone and Class V threat corrosive substances, which compresses our ocean home.

"In other words, if the situation on the battlefield is not too bad, we don't have to fight in the air. This is just a last resort."

Taiyuan and other Donghuang and Beilian ship girls who listened carefully to the popular science lectures kept this knowledge in mind.

When Lin Lan heard Princeton meta say this, his brows furrowed.

Category V threat sources are like a thorn in the tarsal bone that is difficult for the world to deal with.

If any of these high-dimensional predators is not eliminated, it will cause countless heavy casualties.

Moreover, if it is allowed to grow and develop, it will grow into a complete world-destroying demon that is no less than the source of evil.

The threat of Category V is so severe, not to mention the endless high-dimensional will X...

"It would be great if there was some way to solve these disasters once and for all."

Lin Lan sighed secretly in his heart.

Following the guidance of Princeton Meta and Nasimov, everyone walked out of the cabin and came to the spacious upper deck outdoors.

It was already noon and the sky was already bright.

But since this is already the northernmost region of the other world, the sky is covered with thick snow clouds and heavy snow is falling.

There were so many white icebergs floating on the sea below that they were too numerous to count, proving that they were not far from the polar ice field.

"Wow! Commander, look at the bow! What a cool special effect!"

But at this moment, Fushun's exclamation attracted his attention.

Looking in the direction mentioned by the red-haired guide girl wrapped in a small cotton jacket, Lin Lan was also shocked by the sci-fi scene in front of him.

All the high-speed floating battleships, including the one they were on, had a blue-green arc-shaped light curtain in front of them.

"That is the effective wind pressure blocking device, which is classified as the shield defense system on the battleship." Taking this opportunity, Princeton meta also began to introduce the deck structure, firepower range and ship type responsibilities of the floating battleship to him and the ship girls one by one.

Especially the calling method for the drones released by those floating battlefield maintenance ships made all the ship girls marvel at the convenience brought by technological development.

Lin Lan had already mastered the knowledge of these floating warships when he was in the port area, so he spent most of his time looking at the endless North Ice Sea and thinking about the upcoming battlefield situation.

However, just as he was distracted and thinking, Miss D's voice rang out over the deck's radio:
"Assistant! Category V threat residues have been found in the sea ahead. Do we need to use artillery fire to clean it up?"

The voice came very suddenly, and he hurriedly called all the girls to come to the bow of the floating battleship and look forward.

Sure enough, a very discordant black straight line appeared on the sea surface ahead that looked like the skyline.

As their fleet marched at high speed, Lin Lan soon saw the black, worm-like structures covering the icebergs and the sea surface, forming large areas of road-like structures.

It was the corrosive pollutants that he and the Sakura Empire ship girls had seen in Liaozhou.

"Damn Category V threat! The ocean has been polluted!"

Seeing this scene, Anshan clenched his fists in anger.

Anshan's words also resonated with many ship girls.

Even though they had already known that Type X and Type V threats would erode the ocean, leaving them with no place to stand, the girls still felt angry and unhappy when they saw this scene unfold before their eyes.

"If the floating fleet had not been completed, it would have taken us a long time to reach the polar base by sea."

Soviet Rossiya also looked down at the polluted sea area and said to Lin Lan worriedly.

After a moment's silence, Lin Lan used the communication channel of the weapon core to give instructions to Miss D:
"Let's fire and purify a part of it first. Time is limited. We will send mass-produced models to thoroughly purify the corrosive substances left in the sea later."

"Comrade Commander is right. We can't waste too much time because of these corrosive pollutants."

The Soviet Union also shared his views.

Everything has to be prioritized. Rather than dealing with these erosive substances that are still slowly spreading, the key is to eliminate the source of erosion and pollution.

As the fleet commander AI, Miss D responded to his instructions very efficiently.

Along with a round of sea-to-sea salvos from the towering large-caliber main guns and other floating frigates behind the crowd, huge gaps were blown out in the black wriggling matter on the sea surface.

Seeing the flames and wind elements attached after the bombardment constantly devouring and purifying the black matter, the girls exclaimed in amazement again.

Even he himself was quite satisfied with the effect of this round of attack by the floating fleet.

This batch of floating fleets manufactured by the Northern Alliance, thanks to the elemental module technology provided to Chkalov by Xi Zhang after he returned to the Xinghai Base, can also effectively kill Category V threats.

This type of ammunition that uses attached elements to attack Category V threats has also been praised by Princeton Meta and Miss D.

After all, the Rubik's Cube laser weapons and high-voltage Rubik's Cube energy kinetic weapons used by the Arbitrator for purification are extremely complex to manufacture.

The Meta-Cube technology can only target Category V threats that have not evolved convergently with the Bad Omen. Once they encounter the Cube restraining aura released by the Bad Omen, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, using this elemental module technology to efficiently improve the lethality of mass-produced fleets against Category V threats can be considered cost-effective.

However, because Chkalov and Nakhimov lost contact with their home port before they had time to complete the adaptation of the elemental equipment modules to their ships, the ship equipment of the Beilian and Donghuang ship girls around him were unable to receive the blessing of the elemental modules.

But he had already made sufficient preparations and would not let his Northern Alliance and Donghuang ship girls fall at a disadvantage.

After coming to Natlan, he has mastered his true power as a commander.

Being able to make his ship girls enter a state of mental awakening for a short period of time is his biggest trump card in this battle.
