Chapter 116 Return
With two long whistles, the merchant ship gradually approached the port's pier. The command ship driven by Qin Ge also gradually approached the port's pier and stopped.
"We're finally here." Qin Ge said a little tiredly. Although Guanghui was chatting with him, he couldn't stop the fatigue caused by not resting for a long time.
"Well, Commander." The Centaur said to Qin Ge with some heartache.
"Then let's go over and take over from Captain Zhou Wei." Qin Ge said to everyone.
"Yes." Several people nodded, followed Qin Ge down the boat and came to the dock.
Because it was already early in the morning, the cargo ship could only wait until daybreak before allowing the workers to move the goods down, so there were not many people on the dock at the moment.
At the same time Qin Ge walked over, Zhou Wei also walked down from the boat with someone, and the two groups met under the passenger ship.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way, Commander Qin Ge." Zhou Wei stretched out his hand to Qin Ge.
"It's my duty. I should do it." Qin Ge also reached out and held Zhou Wei's hand.
The two shook hands and then let go. Zhou Wei turned around, took the commissioned task list from the person behind him, and then handed it to Qin Ge.
"This is your commissioned task list. I have already written the evaluation and stamped it." Zhou Wei said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge took the commissioned task list and said to Zhou Wei, "Thank you very much. I need to return to the academy as soon as possible. Goodbye, Captain Zhou Wei."
"Okay, have a safe trip, Commander Qin Ge." Zhou Wei nodded to Qin Ge and said.
"goodbye."
After Qin Ge finished speaking, he took his ship girl back to the command ship.
"It's 3:40 in the morning now. By the time we get back to the academy, it will probably be almost noon or afternoon." Qin Ge said to the three women surrounding him as he drove the boat out of the port.
"Well, after the commander sets up the autopilot, you can go and rest for a while." The Centaur said to Qin Ge, "We will call you when we are almost at the academy."
"How can that be? You girls have to hold on until that time, how can I give up so easily?" Qin Ge said to the Centaur.
“In fact, Commander Qin Ge can arrange it this way. After you set up the automatic driving, you can let the two of them go to sleep and rest.
The radar on the command ship is fully capable of detecting any possible enemies in the surrounding area in a timely manner, so patrols like the previous merchant ship escort are no longer necessary.
After that, we will rotate every three hours, and you can see the Commander Academy. You can get enough rest." Guanghui suggested to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, "Then do as Guanghui said. Centaur, you and Noshiro go to rest first. After three hours, I will call the Centaur first. After that, the Centaur will be responsible for monitoring the situation of the command ship, and Noshiro will take over after another three hours."
"Yes, Commander." The Centaur and Noshiro nodded, and they walked into the bedroom together.
In fact, the interior of the command ship is quite large. Because it needs to meet the daily needs of the commander and the ship girls, the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and other facilities are all available.
And most of the command ships are double-decker, just like the luxury yachts Qin Ge saw in the previous world. However, his bedroom design is much smaller than that of a luxury yacht, and only meets the daily rest and office needs.
For example, the boat Qin Ge drives has a kitchen and an integrated living room next to the driving position, two bedrooms and a relatively small bathroom at the back, and another living room and two bedrooms on the second floor.
Seeing the Centaur and Noshiro go to the bedroom to rest, Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief. After setting up the automatic driving, he said to Guanghui, "Guanghui, you should also go to rest early. I can still hold on here, but you haven't rested for almost a day."
"Haha, Commander Qin Ge, don't worry about me. You know, I am very adaptable to night battles." Guanghui said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge was also stunned by Guanghui's words. He immediately remembered that Guanghui actually had a very famous nickname in the Royal Navy called Rusty.
In fact, the reason for this nickname is due to the powerful power of the ship. Legend has it that during the sea trial, she reached 113,700 horsepower, 234.2 rpm, and a speed of 31 knots, and was called "The lusty lady" by the crew.
The reason for this fame is the battle that made her famous, the night attack on Taranto. In this battle, the ship inherited an Italian battleship, severely damaged two, and damaged two Italian cruisers and two auxiliary ships.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to chat with me for a . Probably by sunrise tomorrow morning, the Centaur and Noshiro will be able to deal with the next matters. You can also rest with me then..." Qin Ge's expression froze when he said this, and he quickly waved his hand.
"I mean, you don't have to stay up late anymore and can go and rest."
Guanghui smiled slightly, "Commander Qin Ge, I didn't misunderstand."
Qin Ge touched his head awkwardly and coughed. "Well, let's continue talking about the battles you encountered on the front line. We talked about the battle to support Trin Island before."
"Well, you have a good memory. Let's continue." Guanghui said with a smile.
As the two continued chatting, Qin Ge's tiredness finally passed and he became more energetic.
As the sea outside gradually brightened, Qin Ge and Guanghui walked out of the cockpit and came to the deck outside.
"It seems that it is quite good to hold on until this time. I didn't expect that I can see the sunrise at sea." Qin Ge held the railing and looked towards the east.
There, a fiery red sun was rising slowly from the horizon, hanging in the clouds like a sword, radiantly shining. The sea of clouds was dyed bright orange and red, like a boiling flame.
"I haven't seen such a sunrise at sea for a long time. After seeing it today, I felt that it was particularly wonderful." Guanghui looked at the red sun and nodded to Qin Ge.
"It's really beautiful." Qin Ge said, "Perhaps this is what you will look like in the future, just like the red sun in the sky, spreading your glory to the world."
"Commander Qin Ge, are you praising me?" Guanghui smiled.
"Of course, doesn't this sentence sound like a compliment?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.
"Nothing, I just didn't expect Commander Qin Ge to be able to please girls." Guanghui said with a smile, the sunlight shining on her face, making it slightly red.
Qin Ge touched his head and said, "Is this what you call pleasing a girl?"
"Haha, that's it." Guanghui said.
"Um, okay, then let's continue watching the sunrise..." Qin Ge touched his nose and quickly changed the subject.
