Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Changchun suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders. She forced a smile and nodded at Xiaobai.
"Thank you, Admiral. I... I will do my best." Changchun withdrew her gaze, gently pressing the button to start construction. She stared intently at the button, murmuring softly, "It's just a simple operation like pressing a button... The construction will definitely succeed, it will definitely succeed..."
Changchun pressed the button with a click.
With a series of booming sounds, the construction machine began to operate.
Xiaobai, Nia, and Changchun, who was operating the construction device, stared intently at the screen.
buzzing buzzing...
The sound of resources being broken down could be heard coming from inside the construction device.
hum hum...
----bite!
The buzzing sound lasted for about half a minute, then the construction device stopped, followed by a crisp, clear sound.
Upon hearing this crisp sound, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Wow, it's a success!" Changchun exclaimed with relief when he saw the words "construction successful" appear on the screen.
"Wow! Changchun!" Xiaobai hugged Changchun tightly.
"Wow! Little White!" Nia hugged Little White tightly.
"Great! Great! It's shipped! It's shipped!"
The three people on the control panel were so excited that they immediately hugged each other.
Chapter 2624 The Sisters of Changchun
For Xiaobai, building and shipping was such a distant concept, so distant that she dared not even dream of it.
When was the last time Xiaobai's build was completed and delivered?
Did Lily of the Valley help her build Missouri during the period of discontinuity, or did Veneto build the Roman Empire in the first chapter, or did Saratoga help her create constellations and CV16...?
That was so long ago.
However, at this moment, with the 100% success rate of the ship girl metal and the help of Changchun's little hands, Xiaobai finally felt the joy of building and shipping again.
Xiao Bai was so happy, he was practically bursting with joy.
Meanwhile, the admirals who were watching Xiaobai nearby also stared wide-eyed, looking shocked as if they had witnessed something earth-shattering.
"Fuck..."
"Fuck..."
"Fuck..."
"Another shipment has been delivered... and right after the last one!"
"This, this is an African construction machine??? Where is this Africa, damn it!"
"I don't believe it! It's fake! It's fake! It must be fake, hahaha! You're all lying to me, hahaha—"
"Isn't this a pure European-built machine?!"
"Coach, she cheated! I want a rematch! I want a rematch!!!"
The resources required to build a ship girl are enormous.
Normally, such a situation of getting two consecutive shipments is an extremely rare and lucky event, occurring only once every ten years or so. However, Xiaobai and Nia achieved this feat on the African construction machine, which is an unacceptable result for the other admirals.
The onlookers displayed a variety of emotions: some were shocked, some gritted their teeth, some were regretful, some had red eyes with envy, and a few admirals who had been particularly unlucky today and had not gotten any drops could not bear the pressure after seeing Xiaobai and Nia get their drops. They covered their heads, laughed ferociously, and ran away from the construction building.
The ordinary building was filled with wails of agony, as if hell and heaven had appeared at the same time.
For Xiaobai, it's heaven; for the other admirals, it's hell.
"...Are these people reacting so strongly?" Empire listened to the miserable screams coming from all around, and she couldn't help but narrow one eye, revealing a troubled expression.
"After all, what they struggled to obtain, even after exhausting their entire fortunes and expending enormous resources, was so easily acquired by our admirals." Littorio shrugged. "It's like someone who works 996 every day without a break, is subservient to their boss, is exhausted from dealing with colleagues, and works hard but only earns three thousand a month, suddenly seeing someone earn tens of thousands a month just by playing scratch-off lottery tickets. It's normal to find it hard to accept at first."
“That’s how all admirals are,” Des Moines shook his head at the Empire. “One family’s joy is another family’s sorrow.”
"..." The Empire looked at the tragic world before it, seemingly understanding, yet also seemingly not understanding.
After a brief celebration with Changchun and Nia, Xiaobai calmed down a bit, feeling slightly excited.
Xiaobai looked back at the screen of the construction device.
On the construction device's display screen, a pop-up window prominently reminds Xiaobai whether he wants to use the quick construction device.
Xiaobai selected "OK" without even thinking.
After pressing the OK button, the construction device started working with a hum.
"Once the rapid construction device finishes working, I'll be able to see the new ship girl..." Xiaobai clenched her hands nervously, looking expectantly at the countdown on the screen. "I'm so excited, what kind of ship girl will it be..."
"According to the superstitious beliefs passed down among the admirals, it seems that if a ship girl is used to build it, the ship girl that is delivered is also very likely to have some connection with that ship girl," Nia said to Xiaobai.
"Indeed it is."
“However, this construction was carried out using ship girl metal for targeted construction. I wonder if this theory can be applied…” Nia pointed to her lips.
“Just apply it…” Xiaobai murmured, glancing seriously at Changchun.
Changchun felt Xiaobai's gaze. She opened her pair of bright red agate eyes and blinked them.
"Speaking of which, does Changchun have any older or younger sisters?" Xiaobai asked suddenly, looking into Changchun's eyes.
"Huh? Me?" Changchun was taken aback. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then hesitated. "Well... how should I put it? As for sisters, well... actually, I'm not really sure."
"I'm not quite sure what you mean?"
"...After all, I've had two identities." Changchun smiled sheepishly.
"Ah...yes."
Xiao Bai suddenly understood after hearing Changchun's words.
Changchun is one of the few ships among the ship girls that is of different nationalities. Her former identity was Kokang, but her current identity is Changchun.
For Changchun, her true sisters are her former comrades from when she was the Kokang. But now she has long lost her former identity and become a completely different Changchun. At this point, whether her former comrades can still be her legitimate sisters is a question that no one can answer.
Of course, becoming a multinational ship doesn't necessarily mean abandoning former partners.
Even after Changchun became the new ship girl, she still called the Soviet ship girls in the naval base "sisters" and they got along very well.
However, the sisters at this time were no longer the same as they used to be.
No wonder Changchun said he didn't know either.
"It's alright. Whether it's in the Soviet Union or here in Yixian, at least in our garrison, everyone is your sister." Xiaobai patted Changchun on the shoulder and comforted her.
"Thank you, Admiral." Changchun's nose turned red, deeply moved.
Xiaobai grinned, and just as she was about to say something, a crisp notification sound came from the construction device behind her.
Everyone looked at the screen of the construction device, where four large characters "Construction Completed" appeared.
"Little White! Construction is complete, the hatch can be opened!" Nia said excitedly from the side.
"Five minutes went by so fast!" Xiaobai smiled, pulling Changchun's hand to the hatch. "It's time to see the true appearance of the ship girl companions Changchun built—"
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Xiaobai reached out and pressed the button to open the hatch.
The hatch opened with a click.
Pfft—
Pleasant white vapor continuously poured out of the construction device, and in just a few seconds, the area around everyone turned snow-white.
A crisp footstep sounded amidst the snow-white mist.
The moisture dissipated quickly.
A slender, tall figure in white stood before the group in front of the open hatch.
Compared to the languid state of the Empire when it was built, this ship girl seemed to be full of vigor and spirit. Before even the admiral Xiaobai could call her, she took the initiative to walk out of the construction device and stand in front of Xiaobai.
The ship girl who appeared before everyone was a girl wearing a snow-white military cap and a white naval uniform.
As the mist dissipated, the ship girl's pale purple eyes stared intently at Xiaobai.
This ship girl has a petite and adorable face full of seriousness and vitality. Her long, snow-white hair falls over her shoulders, and her chest is covered tightly by white fabric, yet it remains full and firm. Her waist is slender and flat, and beneath her cute white short skirt, her slender and long legs are tightly wrapped in black stockings, ultimately settling into white boots with her delicate feet, making her appear exceptionally graceful.
"Hey, comrade." The ship girl's gaze quickly locked onto the white-faced boy, and she casually called out to him, "Is this my new beginning?"
"..."
Silence fell.
Upon seeing the new ship girl's appearance, Xiaobai and her group fell silent. They stared at her face for a long time before shifting their gaze to Changchun, who was standing next to Xiaobai, also covering her mouth and staring wide-eyed.
“Eh… one, exactly the same…”
"This ship girl looks exactly like Changchun..."
Wow...they look exactly alike!
Everyone was amazed.
Could it be... that this ship girl, created through metal-oriented construction, is another Changchun?
"Hmm?" The new ship girl was taken aback by everyone's comments. Then, following everyone's gaze, she looked at Xiaobai's side. When she saw Changchun, who looked almost exactly like her, covering her mouth and staring at her, the ship girl also showed a surprised expression. "Eh? Another me??"
The two men from Changchun looked at each other.
"They really are exactly the same, whether it's their faces, height, or even that..." the crowd murmured, their gazes shifting between the two Changchun men. "It seems that only their eye color, clothing, and the overall feeling they give off are slightly different..."
Changchun's eyes are the color of red agate, and she gives people the feeling of a well-behaved and gentle young girl.
At this moment, "Changchun" emerged from the construction device and stood before everyone. Her eyes were a light purple, and she didn't give off the same delicate and soft feeling as Changchun. Instead, she appeared much more heroic.
Just as everyone was trying to find the differences between the two Changchun women, suddenly, their eyes lit up, and they instinctively cried out, as if they had realized something.
"what!"
"what!"
Changchun raised his hand and pointed to his own purple eyes.
Changchun, with purple eyes, also raised his hand and pointed at Changchun.
Changchun!?
"Sister Anshan!?"
The voices of the two people from Changchun intertwined at the same moment.
Both voices were filled with surprise and joy.
"Oh my gosh!!!" The ship girl named Anshan quickly stepped forward and excitedly approached Xiaobai and Changchun. While looking Changchun's face up, she showed them a joyful expression. "I thought it was someone else, but it's Changchun! You appeared in the world before your sister? What an amazing encounter! How long have you been in the world? Have you missed your sister?"
As they talked, Anshan gave Changchun a warm and welcoming smile, as if they were guests at home.
Chapter 2625 Sister Anshan
This ship girl, who has an almost identical beautiful appearance to Changchun, and whose figure and hair color even seem to be modeled after Changchun, smiled warmly at everyone.
Despite it being their first meeting, she acted as if they were old friends reuniting, showing no signs of awkwardness whatsoever.
"Changchun, what did you just call her?" Xiaobai asked Changchun beside her, snapping out of her daze. "Was it Anshan?"
"Ah, yes, that's right!" Changchun nodded quickly and said with great certainty, "Admiral, this new ship girl is my sister Anshan!"
“Anshan…” Xiaobai murmured the name Anshan, his eyes sparkling with wonder.
It turns out that the ship girl created by the ship girl metal-oriented construction was not the second Changchun, but Changchun's older sister, Anshan...
Wow……
This is really, this is really...
Just then, Anshan seemed to notice Xiaobai's scrutinizing gaze. She smiled and turned her face toward Xiaobai, accepting his gaze openly.
"Hey, comrade, are you satisfied with my appearance?" Anshan's eyes sparkled, as if carrying a relaxed smile.
"..." Xiao Bai smiled at Anshan, "Hello Anshan, nice to meet you for the first time."
"Hahaha! Looks like a very polite admiral!" Anshan laughed happily, reaching out to shake Xiaobai's hands and gently rocking them up and down. "Dear comrade, hello! But from now on we're like-minded family, and it's too much trouble to be so formal when we're living together every day. So let's be a little less formal from next time!"
“…You’re right.” Xiao Bai smiled as he listened to Anshan’s words.
