Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1021 Hidden Special Items

Royal Port, inside the reception room of an office building.

Warspite, Prince of Wales and Glory gathered together again, and in addition to himself and Belfast who was always present, Yang Sikang also brought Yubari and Akashi with him this time.

Although Ingraham was a better candidate, after receiving Yang Sikang's full approval of her plan, Ingraham could no longer hold back and devoted herself fanatically to her own research, and was completely unwilling to take the time to come here with Yang Sikang to talk to the royal people.

In desperation, Yang Sikang had to bring Yubari over.

However, this guy started yawning as soon as he came over, and his listless look really made the scene, which was supposed to be serious, look less serious.

"Haha... Don't worry about me. I'm just a little sleepy."

As Yu Zhang spoke, she yawned again. Yang Sikang sighed helplessly and put her on the sofa next to him.

Yubari fell down obediently and lay on Yang Sikang's legs.

"Although it's a little inappropriate for an occasion like this, we're all acquaintances anyway, so let's just leave it at that."

Yang Sikang said:

"You three have come to me so formally today. Are you finally going to talk about what is hidden in the cargo ship?"

"I guess so, but we can't do anything about it. After all, we haven't had that thing for long, and we know very little about it, so we chose to conceal it before. Of course, if you have other ideas, we can't defend you."

As War-weary spoke, he took out his personal terminal, clicked on a few photos and projected them to the side.

“This is what we actually got.”

The photo shows something that looks like an ordinary coral reef at first glance. The surface is completely irregular and uneven, and many dead corals can be seen. The gaps are filled with a lot of mud and sand, and there is nothing strange about the overall structure.

But if you look closely, you will find that this thing is a bit too large, and the whole thing is piled up outwards relying on something in the center.

"What did the corals accumulate on, and over the years, they formed what you see here?"

Yang Sikang speculated, and War-weary nodded:

"That's what we estimated at the beginning, but in fact, the actual formation time of this thing is not even more than one year."

"No more than a year?"

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows.

The formation of coral is not a matter of one or two days. Something of this size is completely covered by coral, and it is impossible for it to be formed within a year.

"This is the conclusion we reached after a comprehensive test. And this thing will grow rapidly when we put it into the artificial seabed environment in the laboratory. Commander Yang, what you are seeing now is actually a photo of him taken last month, and this one was taken just yesterday."

Warspite switched the photo. It was still the same thing, but its entire volume had expanded a lot.

"How can it grow so much in just one month? Are the corals above real?"

"It's real coral. No matter how you test it, it's normal coral. But the problem is that our artificial environment doesn't contain coral nor does it have the elements to form so much coral."

War-weary said helplessly:

"It was just a small simulation."

Yang Sikang immediately became interested, but he couldn't tell anything real from the photo alone.

"This thing always attracts sirens?"

"To be precise, it will happen if you are out of the right environment."

War-weariness said seriously:

"When we first collected it, we were suddenly attacked by a Siren fleet that appeared out of nowhere. The Siren fleet that attacked us was not the Type III we encountered this time, but its average combat power was much stronger than those we usually encounter.

The escorting fleet suffered heavy losses, and even the commander was almost killed and sent for emergency treatment. It was not until we tried to send it out by submarine that we discovered that if this thing could return to the bottom of the sea, the surrounding Siren ships would stop appearing. "

“So you tried to use the simulation environment and then successfully brought it back to the lab?”

"Yes."

Yan Zhan affirmed Yang Sikang's words, and then said:

"In fact, this is also the first thing we hope to study with you in the Avalon facility. I'm sure you can see how important this thing is."

“Great significance does not mean great value.”

Yang Sikang shook his head and said:

"I can't tell from photos how much actual value this thing has and whether it's worth investing enough time and energy in studying it."

"Don't worry, you will see it with your own eyes, but we still need to make some preparations. After all, we don't want the Siren's powerful fleet to suddenly appear around the port area. That would threaten many people and easily cause panic."

"It's okay. I have time to wait."

Yang Sikang said with a smile, and Yan Zhan then took out a small bottle and put it on the table.

"These are some of the samples we took. You can study them yourself and you should be able to tell whether we are lying or not."

Yang Sikang was sincere in his desire to fight, so he didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

After all, the cooperation between the two parties is imminent, and even the preparatory work within the facility has reached the final stage. All that remains is to prepare and transport all kinds of equipment required by Yang Sikang for installation.

According to the contract, Yang Sikang would not interfere in these matters at all, so he could only wait for the royal side to deal with them slowly.

At this point in time, it is natural that Yan Zhan does not want any problems to arise in his cooperation with Yang Sikang.

"What's up with those shipgirls protecting that freighter?"

Yang Sikang suddenly asked.

Before Warspite could speak, Glory said:

"Let me explain this matter."

Yang Sikang looked at Guanghui, who said:

"I think Commander Yang already knows their origins. The Goddess of Si Zhan told me that they received a lot of help from you, the Goddess of Si Zhan, when they were on the ship. I would like to thank you for your help on their behalf."

"This has nothing to do with me. It's just the actions of the ship girls themselves."

"Haha, let's get back to the point. Almost all of them are from the original frontline port area. In the early stage of our battle with the Sirens, when we didn't know the opponent, we often had to make some...difficult choices. In fact, we took the initiative to escort them this time, because as long as there was any mistake in the middle of the journey, once the simulated environment was destroyed, the Siren fleet would inevitably be attracted. So..."

It was rare for Guanghui to speak hesitantly, but Yang Sikang understood.

"They took the initiative to die with the Sirens, and you acquiesced to this."
