Elder brother's garrison

Although Xiaobai was quite concerned about why the Deep Sea Will, as the big boss of the Deep Sea, cared about the safety of human cities, she couldn't ignore what she said.

Indeed, if Xiaobai were to simply plunder or detonate all these resources, the entire city would likely be doomed...

Xiao Bai thinks she is quite selfish, but not to the point of being so heartless.

"Then... what should we do?" Tears welled up in Xiaobai's eyes.

"What do you have to worry about? At worst, you'll just have to go back to life." The Deep Sea Will didn't understand Xiaobai's low spirits. She raised her hand and picked up the blueprints on her thigh. "Take a look at this."

Xiaobai rubbed her eyes, took the blueprints of the Deep Sea Will, and looked at them: "These are the blueprints for Unit-01."

“Hmm.” The Will of the Deep Sea said, tilting its head back. “If left unattended, it will only be a few decades or a hundred years before they create a super robot that can truly withstand ordinary deep-sea forces.”

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiaobai was stunned.

"Do you think the past can be changed, or it cannot?" The Will of the Deep Sea squinted, its eyes surprisingly filled with confusion and sadness.

"what does it mean?"

"Even if you go back to the past, can you still change it? Or is it because you went back that the past is the way it is now?" the Will of the Deep Sea murmured.

"..." Xiaobai still didn't understand.

"This world should have been the one that built these robots first, but because of your arrival, you completely bent their technology tree." The Will of the Deep Sea turned to Little White and said, "You gave them ship girl technology that far surpassed their progress, causing them to abandon the mecha technology they were researching and start researching ship girls instead."

"Simply put, you seem to have changed the world," the Will of the Deep Sea said to Little White.

Ah, it's the end of the month again.

Another little gift and a small razor blade are about to expire (hint).

Dear readers, do you have any extra razor blades left? (hint)

Look, it's not good to leave it to expire, why not just give it to me? (blatant robbery)

Kneel and lift your buttocks (overly suggestive)

Invest once, enjoy a year of fun! Free razor blades, investing is earning! I'm waiting for you here!

Chapter 474 Let's become an idol!

The will of the deep sea went through many twists and turns before finally reaching a conclusion.

"I changed the world?" Xiaobai pointed to himself, looking at the Deep Sea Will in front of him in surprise.

"Ah."

"...But isn't ship girl technology something that humanity will have to possess sooner or later?" Xiaobai lowered her head, thought for a while, and then explained to the Deep Sea Will.

“The research direction here isn’t ship girls.” Deep Sea Will waved the prototype blueprints in his hand. “Although it’s not my place to say that, what’s written here is actually much more serious than ship girls. If you hadn’t gotten involved, in another hundred years, when mecha technology matures before ship girl technology, it would be ship girls that will be abandoned.”

"..." Xiaobai fell silent.

Indeed, as the Deep Sea Will said, the advanced city they are in now is likely the only city in humankind that possesses advanced technology. If the mecha technology researched in this city matures and is spread and developed by humankind, the world line that Xiaobai is in will probably change from a ship girl world full of beautiful older sisters to a world where Gundams fly everywhere and drills are the epitome of romance.

However, this normal development was disrupted by Xiaobai, a person from the future world of ship girls. She directly spread the concept of ship girls from the future to the humans of the lost era, causing them to abandon the research on the already nascent mecha technology and instead focus on researching ship girl technology with completed blueprints and real combat capabilities.

“…Ah, well, it’s not so bad, is it?” Xiaobai said to the Will of the Deep Sea.

If the future really becomes a world where steel flies everywhere, wouldn't that mean Xiaobai will never see Lexington, Saratoga, and Bismarck again?

So ship girls are still the best.

"There's nothing wrong with it, but compared to this..." The Will of the Deep Sea said, revealing a mysterious smile to Little White, "you're in big trouble now."

As the Deep Sea Will looked at her with that smile, Xiaobai felt a subtle chill rise up her spine. She instinctively shrank back and looked at the Deep Sea Will with some fear.

"The blueprints you gave those humans were from modern times, right? They contain data on a ship girl's equipment," Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai.

“Yes, that’s right.” Xiaobai had no reason to hide this from the Deep Sea Will, nor could she, since the two shared memories. “It was Yubari’s notebook.”

"She must be a ship equipment researcher."

"……Um."

“So, your notes only contain data on ship equipment.” As Deep Sea Will said this, she stretched out her hand, and Yubari’s notes materialized directly in her hand. “There’s not a single mention in these notes of how the ‘mothers’ behind the ship girls were created.”

"Ah..." Xiaobai had actually noticed this problem before, but since the way home was just ahead, in order to gain trust, Xiaobai simply ignored it. Anyway, humans would build ship girls sooner or later, right? Xiaobai just gave humans the ship part of the data first.

Xiaobai thought there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Don't even think about running away. With the level of those people outside, they can manage to build robots, but if they want to create rational life, they're overestimating themselves." Deep Sea Will said, yawning. "I bet after they finish studying the blueprints, they'll come to you asking for the second half of the ship girl construction method."

"..." Xiaobai fell silent.

How could she know the construction method for the latter part of the ship girl? She's just an admiral; she only knows how to use the construction device, not how to make it.

"The worst-case scenario could be the destruction of humanity as a result," the Will of the Deep Sea said to Little White.

Why was it destroyed?

"You discouraged the nascent mecha technology, so the people here started researching ship girl technology. However, because the life forms of ship girls cannot be created, the progress of ship girl technology is stuck and cannot advance an inch. As a result, deep-sea technology can never be created. Then, humans, who have no ability to resist, will sooner or later be completely devoured by the deep sea," said the Will of the Deep Sea.

"Then they can go back and study Unit-01 again, right?"

"Researchers who have already witnessed the power of ship girls are unlikely to give up on ship girl technology, which is already halfway through its development. After all, ship girl technology is already halfway to the finish line for them."

"The Will of the Deep Sea reached out and gently patted Little White's head. "Even I, a being that isn't human, understand this. How could you be so foolish?"

After the Deep Sea Will explained everything clearly, Xiao Bai finally understood what the Deep Sea Will meant when it said that it was in big trouble.

"Then wouldn't that mean I destroyed humanity?" Xiaobai finally understood the essence of the matter, and she said to the Deep Sea Will in shock.

"Here's the thing, how about it, want to switch sides and join me? The Deep Sea welcomes you. Now that you've merged with me, you can be the Queen of the Deep Sea too. There are lots of beautiful older sisters here who will listen to you, no less than the ship girls in your naval base." The Deep Sea's will extended an olive branch to Little White. "And how come, you humans don't seem to dislike enemy women like us?"

"That won't do! We have to save humanity!" Little White ignored the Deep Sea Will's suggestion as if it were a joke and gave the Deep Sea Will a pleading look.

The will of the deep sea withdrew her olive branch, turning her head to the other side with a bored expression: "This is really boring."

"Deep Sea Will, what should we do?"

"What else can we do but teach them all the ship girl technology?" Deep Sea Will said.

"I don't know how." This was Xiaobai's biggest worry.

Deep Sea Will sighed: "Think about it carefully. If the ship girl technology was something you remembered from the present and passed on to humans from a bygone era, and then passed on from that era to the future, wouldn't that mean that the ship girl technology has no owner and is a technology that appeared out of thin air? That's obviously impossible. This technology must have had an inventor."

As Deep Sea Will finished speaking, she glanced at Little White and saw that Little White was lying on the headboard, looking at her with shining eyes. She couldn't help but shut her mouth.

"What happens next?" Xiaobai asked.

"...In other words, this technology will appear sooner or later. Either it will be invented or it will be found," the Deep Sea Will said.

Where can I find it?

“…In the ocean.” The Will of the Deep Sea turned its head to the other side. “Ship girls and the Deep Sea are very similar, so it’s not impossible to go to the Deep Sea’s territory to find ship girl technology.”

"That makes sense! Thank you, Deep Sea Will!" Little White suddenly realized.

"..." The will of the deep sea did not reply.

"But speaking of which, why are you helping me, Deep Sea Will? Don't you want humanity to be destroyed?" Xiaobai got the information she wanted to know, but her curiosity was piqued again, so she asked the Deep Sea Will with some curiosity.

"When have I ever wanted humanity to be destroyed? I just do what I want to do." This was just one of the Deep Sea Will's catchphrases.

After saying goodbye to the Will of the Deep Sea with an "I see" expression, Xiao Bai disappeared from the spiritual world.

Deep Sea Will lay alone on the bed, gazing calmly at the sky.

After a long while, the expression in those cold eyes gradually became confused.

"Is the past... unchangeable?" the will of the deep sea murmured, before slowly closing its eyes.

Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed so deeply it was heartbreaking.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On this day, several major events took place in the human city.

Just as the city gates were opened at noon to collect resources outside the city, the sounds of fierce fighting came from the open space in the city center.

Residents living closer to the city center reported hearing explosions, booming sounds, the sound of steel bars tearing apart, and whooshing whirlwinds, like an army in battle, which sounded exhilarating.

It seems that the scientists in the city center have finally made something of themselves.

The residents, who had been thinking this way, finally began to feel happy and excited.

Sure enough, just a few days later, a major breakthrough was made in a study in the city center, and news that a future of resisting the deep sea and achieving victory was just around the corner emerged from the city center.

These scientists are definitely not just sitting around doing nothing!

The news spread like wildfire throughout the city. Residents rushed to tell each other, some even weeping with emotion. They flocked to the city center, where drums and gongs resounded, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and the whole city was as excited as if it were boiling oil.

A few days later, the former city lord, Mu Zhe, finally couldn't sit still any longer. So the current city lord, Mu Ji, along with his father, found a time to announce the news to the cheering crowd on a high platform.

Mu Zhe said that they had obtained a brand-new technology called "ship girls". With this technology, they could create female warriors with unparalleled beauty and invincible power, making it easy to defeat the deep sea.

Although the residents were curious as to why the emphasis was on women, since it was said by the current and former city lords, it was probably true. So, after learning the truth, the residents cheered even more enthusiastically.

Kiji also invited the person who had bestowed upon them the ship girl technology to the stage, allowing her to receive the gratitude of the entire city.

So, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, Suzuran, completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening, was invited onto the stage.

Beautiful girls can always inspire human fighting spirit. When they saw that the person who bestowed such high technology upon the city was a blonde beauty, all the residents cheered even more enthusiastically.

Waves of saviors, heroes, cheers, and shouts of "We're counting on you!" rushed toward the brain-dead Lily.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai, thousands of miles away, arrived at the seaside after several days and nights of rapid travel.

Chapter 475 Becoming a Mother

Just as the Deep Sea Will had predicted, within a few days of providing Kiyoshi and the others with the ship equipment data, Kiyoshi, who had barely finished reviewing the blueprints, respectfully led the staff to the residence of Shiro and Suzuran. He then inquired about the latter part of the ship girl construction data from Suzuran.

However, Little White had already slipped away by then, heading towards the sea.

Xiaobai told Linglan that he was leaving the city alone for a few days and might not be back for a while. He asked if Muji and the others were looking for him during that time and asked Linglan to tell them to wait a bit.

Suzuran agreed to Xiaobai's request because of her unconditional trust in him.

—Then, completely bewildered and clueless, Lily of the Valley was adorned with a wreath, dressed in beautiful clothes, washed clean, and sent onto the stage, becoming a savior and a hero, and incidentally, an idol.

This isn't entirely incomprehensible, considering that Suzuran and Shiro are together, and Kiyoshi had previously asked the ship girls if there were any captains, which Shiro confirmed, and Shiro told Kiyoshi that the ship girls do have admirals.

—Isn't it obvious? Xiaobai's admiral is this blonde beauty!

In that case, even if Shiro isn't around, it would be perfectly normal for Shiro's admiral to help her ship girl accept the honor.

So no matter how Linglan explained that she was just a village girl, an ordinary person except for her natural beauty, these people didn't believe her and took all her explanations as modesty.

So, knowing that all her explanations were futile, Linglan resigned herself to her fate and sincerely hoped that Xiaobai could return to the city and help her explain things.

—However, Shiro was naturally unaware of these things. Just as Suzuran ascended to the throne and became an idol, Shiro also happened to go into the sea.

After spending three months in isolation, with carrier-based aircraft flying all day long, a rudimentary map was almost constructed by the Deep Sea Will. With this map in his mind, and without having to worry about the safety of Suzuran beside him, Xiaobai's travel speed was dozens of times faster. In just a few days, Xiaobai arrived at the largest ocean that the Deep Sea Will had described.

The ocean chosen by the will of the deep sea is naturally the ocean with the most deep sea. After heading towards the sea, in the last day or two since getting closer to the ocean, Xiaobai has not seen any other people in the lush jungle. It's good that there are no people, and it was also uncomfortable to wear the straw hat on his head, so Xiaobai put the straw hat away.

The ocean referred to by the will of the deep sea is also the ocean most severely infected by the resentment of the deep sea. The entire ocean is black and shiny, exuding an aura that keeps strangers away. Standing far away on the edge of the beach and looking out to sea, one can see dozens of deep-sea ships floating on the sea with their red lights, even with the naked eye.

Xiao Bai walked onto the beach and looked out at the sea. The deep-sea ships emitting a ghostly light on the surface of the water were terrifying to behold.

Xiao Bai swallowed hard, then stepped onto the sea.

She stood on the sea surface and slowly walked towards the inner edge of the ocean. Halfway there, she stopped. Little White gently closed her eyes.

Xiao Bai returned to the spiritual world. She opened her eyes, looked at the Deep Sea Will standing in front of her with its hands behind its back, and smiled apologetically: "Um, Deep Sea Will, I've arrived at the seaside."

"Okay, let's go in."

"Won't the Deepsea Amphibious Ship attack me?"

"How many times have you asked?" The Will of the Deep Sea reached out and rubbed its forehead. "I've said it many times. With me here, no Deep Sea will attack you on its own initiative."

"Ah... um..." Xiaobai lowered her head and agreed, "Thank you..."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go." The will of the deep sea reached out and gently pushed Xiaobai's forehead. Xiaobai then staggered back several steps and disappeared directly from the spiritual world.

Xiao Bai opened his eyes in the real world and looked at the black, chaotic ocean in front of him several times.

The broken sea is still a place completely occupied by the deep sea. Here, the resentment of the deep sea expands unchecked, covering all the water surface with a thick layer of deep sea resentment. No life other than the deep sea amphibious ships can survive here.

"Even so, I'm still quite scared..." Xiaobai sighed, then slowly accelerated and ran towards the depths of the sea.

Not far away, a deep-sea destroyer, lying on the black water and constantly blowing bubbles, was sunbathing.

Xiao Bai held his breath nervously and slowly approached the deep-sea destroyer, getting closer and closer.

Until Xiaobai got very close to the deep-sea destroyer and arrived beside her.
