Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 998 Surprises one after another (more updates added)
"Command confirmation: The trial floating fleet system is being connected."

TB said in a calm tone, and the big screen in front of Lin Lan and the ship girls slowly lit up, showing the outside world.

"The fleet system connection is completed and the war protocol has been read.

"The size of the fleet is confirmed: 1 battleship, 1 aircraft carrier, 3 destroyers, 2 light cruisers, 2 heavy cruisers, 2 field maintenance ships, and 1 large military transport ship.

"The fleet activates offshore floating mode."

The short-haired man with white hair and green highlights had a faint luster in his loli-green eyes.

After TB gave a series of instructions, Lin Lan saw their perspective slowly rising on the big screen in the command room.

The trembling feeling caused by the floating battleship that he expected did not come.

From beginning to end, the floor beneath their feet was smooth.

There wasn't even a hint of noise.

"The planned coordinates have been confirmed, and the fleet will automatically move forward in formation No. 4 mode."

After TB said this, Lin Lan finally saw several other frigates appearing on the screen as forwards, which were also floating in the air.

The high-speed rotating black turbines below these floating battleships and the jet ports at the tail released blazing blue flames.

Obviously, these flames are the fuel transformed by the mind cube array.

Moreover, the overall flight speed of the floating fleet is much faster than that of ordinary mass-produced models.

Even though this speed is still not as fast as the speed of the battleships, compared with the speed of the mass-produced model, it can be regarded as highly maneuverable.

"Success! Commander, everyone can finally fight X in the air!"

Seeing that the entire fleet had completed the floating mode, the excited voices of the ship girls suddenly rang out in the command room.

Even Akashi, the little profiteer who came with him, hugged Yubari happily.

Although this is just an ordinary fleet test flight.

But for all the ship girls, the completion of the floating fleet means that they can get rid of the threat from the sea in the future battle with X and use the air as the main battlefield.

Even Lin Lan was so excited by the joy of the ship girls that she even forgot to take off the safety helmet on her head.

You know, a floating battleship using the mental cube array as its engine is basically equivalent to unlimited energy.

If he is willing, he can even wait for the fortress ship and Huanyang Fortress to be completed and move the entire port area to these air fortresses!
For example, in the game plot, the 5th Task Force of the Council where Princeton meta was at that time was like this.

Even now, he and the ship girls don't need to do this.

But if one day in the future, X completely erodes the ocean of this other world, then there will undoubtedly be another way out for them.

"Commander, we have arrived at the planned coordinates, and the fleet has entered standby mode."

Before he and the ship girls' joy subsided, TB looked at him and reported to him in a cold voice.

Lin Lan took a long breath and calmed down a little, then said to Saratoga:
"The next step is the actual combat test, little Jia Jia, the next step is up to you."

"Okay~ Commander, be careful next time~"

The pink-haired aircraft carrier girl with a bright smile on her face came to him and gave instructions to TB:
"Miss TB, generate a virtual target in the mirror sea and activate fleet defense mode."

After receiving Little Jiajia's instructions, TB immediately followed it without changing his expression.

The next second, Lin Lan saw a small window like a radar interface on the large electronic screen in front of him.

Ten red dots flashed on the small window, representing the ten targets that would be hit next.

At the same time, Lin Lan also discovered that every other floating battleship, including theirs, had a transparent energy shield that seemed to be substantial.

"This is... a light element barrier?!"

Lin Lan recognized the origin of these energy shields almost instantly and looked at Yubari in shock. "Yes Master."

The black-haired light patrol fox girl walked up from Akashi and smiled proudly at him:

"These are elemental shield generating devices that Yubari made with the help of a large amount of materials brought back by his master and Shige Sakura's adults when they traveled to Liaozhou.

"The God Forging Association, Blade Forging Experts, and Shen Lianyou participated in the early development work. On this basis, everyone at Xinghai Base and I completed the subsequent strength increase of the elemental shield.

"These light element shields not only ensure that the ship's hull and electronic systems are not eroded by X's energy.

"Even companions who are not blessed by Hairuo's power will not be affected by X's corrosive power inside these floating battleships.

"Even the Great Sage and Nagato have confirmed this."

Hearing Yubari's introduction with a smile, Lin Lan couldn't help but take a breath.

The Rubik's Cube technology shield originally used by the ship girls was basically useless when faced with the erosion of X.

But if an elemental shield is used, the properties are completely different.

When he was in Liaozhou, he saw with his own eyes that only the shield of elemental skills and the secret technique of Sakura Sakura of Nagato and Unzen could resist the pollution of X.

Unexpectedly, this kind of elemental shield was installed on every floating battleship by Yubari!
"Humph, the bigger surprise is yet to come. Mount No. 2, don't be so happy that you faint over such a trivial matter."

Before he could recover from the great gift brought by the ship girls, Germany sneered at him with a wicked smile.

Saratoga also smiled and nodded to him, and continued to give orders to TB:

"Launch the most efficient attack on the target."

"receive."

Amidst TB's response, Lin Lan saw dozens of unmanned carrier-based aircraft spraying air waves appear on the screen from behind them, heading towards the front at high speed.

On the deck of each floating battleship wrapped in a light element shield, the muzzle of the bone Zhuxie main gun also began to charge energy.

"Buzz!"

The next second, the ground under Lin Lan's feet finally trembled.

And Shengli supported him with quick eyes and quick hands.

Lin Lan didn't bother to thank Shengli. He kept his eyes fixed on the big screen.

Dozens of elemental main cannons of different colors were seen firing, drawing colorful arcs trailing the tail flames of the elemental power in the air of the mirror sea.

Through the perspective window provided by the unmanned carrier-based aircraft, he witnessed the target Type III Breakers being directly hit by precise elemental shells.

Although the elemental artillery shells, even those of battleship caliber, can basically do no harm to these thick-skinned Type III game breakers.

But what followed immediately was the saturation strike of aerial bombs and rockets carried by unmanned carrier-based aircraft.

Under these aerial strikes using Rubik's Cube technology, several Type III Breakers finally suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.

But even though it was only a minor injury to the III Breaker, Lin Lan was still shocked and his mouth opened in an "O" shape.

There is no other reason.

In his original vision, the floating fleet was a specialized mass-produced fleet to fight against X.

To be honest, he never thought about relying on these floating fleets to fight the Sirens.

But the lethality demonstrated by these unmanned carrier-based aircraft for him is almost the same as the mass-produced aircraft carriers used by ship girls today.

This means that even if the aerial fleet encounters mass-produced Sirens and Executors below Type III, it still has the ability to fight back and cause damage to the Sirens.
