Chapter 1157 Sea Knight No. 6, Secretary
Two o'clock in the afternoon, inside the development dock.
The ship girls invited by Yang Sikang gathered here. After following Yang Sikang to tour the entire development dock area in the morning and having lunch, the afternoon's event was the main topic of the day.
The completed development dock is completely different from the previous semi-finished state, and after it is completely completed, many things that were originally exposed are hidden, including the inherent monitors, automatic defense weapon ports, and all wires.
This development dock is clean and tidy but not cold and lifeless. The interior decoration of the rooms adheres to the principle of few but just right.
Because it is not a special construction, there is very little preparation work beforehand.
"I have introduced my development dock before. I have made some changes to the conventional construction machines. Currently, the construction in my development dock uses a system that is partially common with the system used for ship modification."
As Yang Sikang spoke, he opened the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, from where one could overlook the three large docks below. These floor-to-ceiling windows were naturally added later and were not there originally.
“So, although the construction process will be completed in this room, there will also be corresponding changes in the dock. You can take a look if you are interested.”
As Yang Sikang spoke, he glanced at reporter Andy who was standing at the edge. The latter smiled politely, nodded, and then took out his notebook and began to take notes seriously.
Yang Sikang picked up a mind cube, walked to the construction machine, and put the cube directly into it.
The construction part of this special construction machine is not much different from that of an ordinary construction machine, but Yang Sikang concentrated the functions of three construction machines into this one. After all, fundamentally speaking, the construction machine itself is auxiliary, and the auxiliary function of the construction machine is not that important to him.
Therefore, this machine has greatly reduced the safety protection measures of the original construction machine and removed the specialization for building specific types of ships. In other words, theoretically, as long as Yang Sikang puts two Rubik's Cubes into this machine, any type of ship girl can be built.
Obviously, for other commanders this is a completely negative change, but for him...
The speed of the Rubik's Cube's phantom rotation increased, and the entire construction process was greatly shortened, which was also the effect of reducing those safety measures.
The shadow of the Rubik's Cube suddenly shrank and turned into an almost substantial Rubik's Cube, and then suddenly turned into a large number of blue light spots pouring down, forming a human shape and quickly fixed.
Seeing this scene, Enterprise and others who were familiar with the initial appearance of the construction machine looked at Yang Sikang, and a new ship girl had appeared in the construction machine.
Her ochre neck-length hair, deep red eyes, and clothing style revealed her affiliation at a glance. Even without any explanation, one could clearly tell which class of ship she was on.
She wore an anchor-shaped decorative headband on her head, and her feet and black thigh-high socks had metallic edges.
She opened her eyes, looked into Yang Sikang's eyes, and then saluted Yang Sikang seriously.
"The Cleveland-class light cruiser Birmingham officially takes office today. I will do my best to bring a new dawn to this ocean. Thank you for your guidance, Commander." The sixth ship of the Cleveland-class - Birmingham The sixth ship of the Cleveland-class light cruiser, Birmingham.
"Welcome to our fleet, Birmingham."
Yang Sikang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Birmingham, then turned sideways and raised his hand to the Princeton and Cleveland-level people who he had arranged to stand together in advance and said:
"Because we still have to continue the construction, in order to reduce the waiting time for the guests, Birmingham, you should first understand the current situation with them."
Birmingham had already seen them, Yang Sikang said, and she nodded happily.
"Okay, Commander."
After saying that, Birmingham smiled and waved at them.
If the Independence-class ships had not been converted from the original Cleveland-class to light cruisers, then according to the original ranking sequence, the sixth ship would have been Princeton.
The prototype ships of Birmingham and Princeton also had a very good relationship in history. Not only did the crews of the two sides have a good relationship on a daily basis, there were even rumors that the crew of Birmingham regarded Princeton as the "second mother ship".
During the Battle of Leyte Gulf, after Princeton was bombed and caught fire, the crew of the Birmingham immediately began to rescue Princeton, forming a fire-fighting team and a suicide squad to go directly on board the ship to put out the fire.
When Princeton's torpedo compartment exploded, due to the close distance, Birmingham's starboard side melted directly, but Birmingham still did not give up the rescue.
The final result is a testament to the efforts of the Birmingham crew:
Although Princeton was forced to be abandoned and ordered to be sunk due to the huge explosion caused by the detonation of the torpedo compartment in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the number of casualties on the Princeton's crew was only around 100, while Birmingham's casualties were approximately 230 killed and 430 injured.
There are also many things worth mentioning in Birmingham's own ship history. Including this time in Leyte Gulf, she suffered varying degrees of severe damage in three naval battles, in Queen's Gulf and Okinawa, and was sent back for repairs three times. However, all three repairs took only three months, and Birmingham rushed to the battlefield again.
Perhaps because of the history of this prototype ship, the relationship between Birmingham and Princeton is very good.
Yang Sikang looked at Princeton and said with a smile:
"Princeton, as we agreed before, the introduction to Birmingham is now left to you."
"Okay, Commander!"
Yang Sikang smiled, and after Birmingham walked over, he picked up the second Rubik's Cube and put it into the construction machine.
The same process, the same fast construction process, the light spots of the Mind Cube gathered in the construction machine again, and this time many people took this opportunity to turn their heads and look down.
Suddenly, a large number of Mind Cube light spots appeared in the dock, and quickly formed a complete ship in the dock. When the ship was completed, the ship disappeared and the ship girl in the construction machine appeared.
Long pink hair, amber eyes, a white and blue sailor suit with a pair of black stockings and a pair of sneakers.
This ship girl is particularly familiar to the ship girls present, especially those from the headquarters.
Of course, it is also very familiar to Yang Sikang.
She opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Yang Sikang, she quickly looked at him and said:
"Oh? Are you the commander here? Don't worry, I will escort you. But you have to meet my standards first~" Secretary - Memphis Omaha-class light cruiser No. 10, Memphis.
That is the famous secretary of White Eagle who is familiar to many people.
"Welcome to our fleet, Memphis."
Yang Sikang smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I think you won't be disappointed with me. At least you won't be disappointed in my work."
Although Memphis was not clear about the situation, she was naturally happy that her commander had such a confident attitude.
"Then I will look forward to your performance, Commander~"
