Chapter 1517 The Unlucky Royal Oak
When leaving Lingmin, Yang Sikang suddenly had the illusion that the temperature around him had become higher. Lingmin's achievements made him very interested, but the specific effect of the device could only be known by actually using it.
This matter was not so urgent, so he was naturally more relaxed. At this moment, Yang Sikang noticed that a carrier-based aircraft was staggering down from the sky, then landed in the neat bushes beside the road, hit something and bounced out.
"Wow, wow, wow~ I got hit again..."
Yang Sikang hurried forward, only to see a shocking scene:
Memphis, who was supposed to meet him and Befa in the laboratory, had a helpless look on his face, unfolding his ship suit and supporting a battleship.
"Royal Oak? Did that carrier-based plane just now hit you on the head?"
Royal Oak turned around and saluted without answering:
"Hello, Commander!"
Yang Sikang asked again, and Royal Oak nodded:
"Recently, my luck seems to be particularly bad..."
Royal Oak said somewhat awkwardly, but Memphis next to him spoke up:
"This is not a matter of bad luck, Commander. If I hadn't happened to see that carrier-based aircraft about to fall, the Royal Oak would have been hit!"
Memphis was very helpless. She didn't even know which companion released this carrier-based aircraft, but what was certain was that there should be no ship girl in her own fleet who couldn't even control the flight trajectory of a carrier-based aircraft, so this must be an accident no matter how you look at it.
However, the place where the carrier-based aircraft fell was exactly where the Royal Oak was moving forward, and she was not standing still!
Memphis deployed her ship equipment in time and forcibly pulled her away, thus preventing the Royal Oak from being hit directly. However, even so, the Royal Oak, which was hastily pulled away, still fell to the ground and stumbled.
Yang Sikang walked over and looked at the carrier-based aircraft. Although he couldn't tell who was controlling it, someone quickly ran over.
"Sorry, Commander! I was in control of that carrier-based aircraft. Um, did it hit anyone?"
“Princeton?”
Yang Sikang looked at Princeton in surprise and said:
"Memphis pulled the Royal Oak away, so no one was hit. But how did your carrier-based aircraft fall down?"
Princeton's training was very hard, and she was also quite capable. She should have no problem controlling the carrier-based aircraft, and a fall like this shouldn't have happened to her.
"This, this is because... well, I'm working with Independence and the others to study the maximum distance at which we can control carrier-based aircraft, as well as testing what the carrier-based aircraft can do before losing control.
We originally thought that there were few people passing by here, and it would be convenient for recovery, so we used a training carrier-based aircraft to fly here. Unexpectedly, when we fell, we happened to see the Royal Oak and Memphis..."
Princeton seemed very embarrassed when he said this. It was inappropriate to do such an operation outside the training ground, and he almost hit his teammate.
"In terms of the results, it wasn't a big deal. It didn't cause any problems. But this kind of operation should still be done on the training ground. If the training ground is not enough, the unused performance area can also be used for training. Just be a little more careful next time, and don't worry too much."
"Yes, Commander! Um, I'm sorry, Royal Oak, I almost hit you."
"It's okay, Princeton. I've always had bad luck, but it won't be a big problem."
Royal Oak responded politely, and Yang Sikang shook his head helplessly.
The Royal Oak's bad luck is a very metaphysical issue, and the worst part is that it's somewhat abstract.
Although her prototype ship was stranded in the port for various reasons and became the target of U-47's diving and sinking, it is still relatively rare for the Royal Oak to be as unlucky as it is now.
"Royal Oak, since you've always had bad luck, how did you deal with what happened before?"
"Huh? How, how do you deal with it? Um, just get used to it?"
"You'll get used to it..." Yang Sikang couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly: "This is too weird. Well, let's put it this way, Memphis happens to be busy these days, Royal Oak, you stay with me with Belfast for the time being. Let's see how things go."
"Eh? But, Commander, my luck..."
"This is an order. Memphis, come and tell Royal Oak the time and stuff. I have to go to the development dock now. Bring Royal Oak with you later when you are free."
"Okay, Commander, I understand."
Memphis readily agreed. Although she had no idea how Yang Sikang was going to deal with this problem that was clearly unrelated to science and was more related to metaphysics, Memphis felt that since the commander had made such an arrangement, there must be specific considerations behind it.
But on the other side, Yang Sikang, who was walking on the road, muttered:
"Let's put aside the metaphysical question of Royal Oak's luck. Befa, do you feel that Royal Oak's personality has become weaker than before? Clearly, she was gradually gaining confidence before, but how come she suddenly seems to have returned to her original state?"
"I'm very sorry, Master. Because I haven't had many opportunities to see Miss Royal Oak during this period, I didn't notice any similar problems."
"Ah, that's nothing. It's just that I go to Howe's place more often, so it's easier for me to run into her. Well, let's investigate first anyway, and let Sheffield and Newcastle wait for me in the lounge of the development dock."
"Yes, Master."
Yang Sikang did not intend to completely resolve the bad luck of the Royal Oak, but he found her lack of confidence and somewhat cowardly reaction very strange.
Although it was true that he had not paid special attention to the movements of the Royal Oak for some time, he was very clear that for a long time after the Royal Oak joined the fleet, the Royal Oak's self-confidence and other aspects were on the rise.
She looks good in itself, and as a member of the knight team she has enough combat power. The speed issue that was criticized was also solved with the technical support of Yang Sikang.
In addition, the atmosphere in the fleet has always been good, and she has suddenly become like the way she was when she first joined the fleet. Something special must have happened during this period.
"By the way, Befa, ask Newcastle and the others to find some grudges before they come."
Although Yuanchou often seems a little out of touch, especially in terms of her insistence that she is a nun, which is very unreliable, there is absolutely no problem with her observation skills. Moreover, compared to Guanghui, who has a sense of holiness, Yuanchou's personality makes it easier for her to blend in with others and learn a lot of so-called "gossip".
After all, people like Lafite and Javelin could roll around on the bed at will in front of Grudge, but when they were in front of Guanghui, almost everyone sat upright.
For things like the Royal Oak, Yuanchou might know something.
