Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1393 The accidental discovery of the exercise team

"Commander! You're saying you're going to leave the flagship of the joint exercise to me, right?"

Yang Sikang nodded:

"The first round is up to you. You can choose the candidates yourself. After all, our fleet has a lot of people, and if the lineup is decided by me, it will be inappropriate to be too fixed. After all, the average combat power of our fleet is here, so..."

According to normal logic, it would certainly be unwise for a commander to fight against a joint fleet sent by the headquarters of the two camps during an exercise, but that also depends on who is doing the fighting.

Yang Sikang's fleet undoubtedly has this capability, so it is basically a matter of course that it becomes the lone fighter.

"Hehehe~ Since you've handed it over to me, that means you can do whatever I want with it, right?"

Yang Sikang thought for a moment and said:

"Just don't be too exaggerated. The submarine team also wants to join the war."

"learn!"

"Compared to these, does the Commander have anything else to do today?"

Neptune jumped out again. Yang Sikang looked at her in confusion and shook his head.

"Nothing much, what do you want to do?"

"Hey~ Commander, can you stay with me for a while? Just for a little while~"

Yang Sikang raised his eyebrows, but Georgia next to him said:

"Commander, I think you need to go and take a look."

Yang Sikang thought for a moment and said:

"Ok."

"Hey, let's go!"

Neptune didn't mind Yang Sikang's hesitation at all, but she still didn't show Yang Sikang what she was holding in her hand.

The two men left the development dock, deployed Neptune's ship from the port, and then took Yang Sikang towards another island.

But halfway through, Neptune changed direction, and the two left the training ground owned by Yang Sikang. After sailing along the border for a distance, a place appeared in front of them that was difficult to tell whether it was a reef or an island.

The rocks are jagged and there is no convenient place to stand at first glance. The erosion of the sea water has made the surface of the rocks vary in shape but all of them are very smooth. Some seaweed and shellfish can be seen clinging to the surface of the rocks in the gaps, but most of the places are obviously hit by the sea water for a long time.

"This is it!"

Neptune said excitedly, then jumped off the deck and came to the surface of the sea.

She first circled the reef by herself, then returned to the deck, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile:

"Commander, aren't you curious about what I have in my hand? Hehe~ Actually, it's this!"

Neptune spread out her palm, and in her palm there was a regular crystal with a smooth surface but an ugly shape.

The outer layer of this thing is relatively transparent, the inside is milky white, the surface is very smooth and regular, and if you look closely you can see clear crystal patterns.

But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that this crystal is emitting a weak mind cube energy reaction.

Yang Sikang didn't know what this crystal was, because the shape of its crystal structure was different from what Yang Sikang knew, and its reaction under light was also unusual.

But he was clear about one thing, that is, in the world of Azur Lane, anything that could emit the energy of the Mind Cube must not be an ordinary thing.

"Was this thing found from this reef?"

"To be precise, it was produced from the underwater part beneath this reef!"

Neptune coughed twice deliberately, and then began to narrate the process seriously.

Simply put, because they frequently approached this area during their training exercises, Shucheng and Helena discovered something was wrong.

Occasionally strange Mind Cube reactions would appear around them while they were fighting, but they were low in intensity and disappeared quickly.

After many times, Helena and Shucheng informed others of the situation, and after searching for a while, they set their sights on this reef.

Neptune was the first to find this crystal, so she took on the task of introducing the situation to the commander.

But in the process, Yang Sikang also understood why Neptune had been held back from showing it to him before.

"So, this crystal is not emitting Mind Cube energy by itself, but it collects Mind Cube energy from the surrounding area and then releases it slowly?"

"Bingo~ As expected of you, Commander, you figured it out so easily! Hehe, no one could find the energy source at that time, but I found it easily with a flash of inspiration! If it weren't for me, Commander, you wouldn't be able to see this thing now, so hurry up and praise Lord Neptune here, and good things will happen!"

Yang Sikang was ecstatic, but looking at Neptune, who was so smug and seemed to be begging for praise, he suppressed the urge to go down and see how many of these things there were. He stuffed the crystal into his pocket and picked up Neptune.

"Eh?! Meaning, Commander?!"

Yang Sikang ignored Neptune's slightly panicked scream, held her and turned her around a few times before putting her down.

"Heaven, the sky is turning..."

Neptune staggered and was about to fall on the deck. Yang Sikang quickly hugged her around the waist, and the next second, Yang Sikang's face touched something warm and soft.

"Hehe~ You can't just treat a hug as a reward. I'm not Eldridge. This is interest~"

Neptune smiled and turned around, then stood up steadily. He threw a wink at Yang Sikang and then unfolded his ship suit:

"Come on, Commander, let's go down and collect samples!"

"it is good."

Yang Sikang smiled helplessly, walked over and grabbed Neptune's ship suit, then let her take him to the surface of the sea.

There was no way to guarantee how deep the water was on this kind of rocky beach. If he jumped off the deck, he would end up with his head hitting the ground if he was unlucky. He didn't want to make a fool of himself.

Although with his current physical condition he might not be in any big trouble if he just charged into it, but not dying doesn't mean he won't die socially.

If he really hits his head against a rock, Neptune will laugh at him for a whole year!

However, after reaching the surface of the sea, Yang Sikang understood why they couldn't find the crystal.

Clearly according to what Neptune said, these crystals are about one meter below the water surface.

But when he stood on the sea and looked down, he could not see anything.

Yang Sikang dived directly underwater. After he entered the water, his vision was different from that of normal people, so all the crystals with transparent outer layer and milky white inner layer appeared in his eyes.

Walking down along the part where seaweed begins to grow under these reefs, although they are scattered and each clump is only about a quarter of the size of a fist, but just at a glance, you can see that there are more than ten or twenty clusters of these crystals growing regularly on the reefs.

He turned his head and looked around. There seemed to be a lot of these crystals under this rocky beach.

"Hehe~ It's hard to see underwater, right, Commander? That's why I said you need diving goggles!"

Neptune saw that he was floating up very quickly and thought that his prediction was very accurate, but Yang Sikang shook his head, grabbed the ship's equipment and stood on the rock next to him.

"There are indeed a lot of underwater crystals. I looked at this reef beach and it seems that they all exist. There are quite a lot of them. It seems that there will be no shortage of samples."

"Eh?"

Neptune was a little confused.
