Chapter 20: Will the Ship Girl go to the toilet?
"Yes, in close-range combat, the speed of drawing a sword is always faster than the speed of firing a cannon!" Noshiro said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge couldn't help but nodded, "Taking the loading speed into consideration, it is true that the speed of drawing a sword is faster than the speed of firing a cannon, but it is a bit subversive." After all, the ships in his world are all in the form of ships, moving slowly in naval battles and turning slowly, so in order to avoid this disadvantage, battles are basically carried out at long distances, and boarding battles and collisions rarely occur.
But this world is different. As another form of ships, the ship girls are extremely small and flexible on the sea, and can easily implement some tactics that the ship form cannot do. For example, after getting close, use your own ship equipment to inflict damage to the opponent, and use flexible body movements to avoid approaching shells and torpedoes.
This way of fighting gave the ship girls more diversity and broadened Qin Ge's horizons. He suddenly had the idea of moving the previous world army's combat system to the sea. So Qin Ge took a pen and wrote on the notebook to record his idea.
"Okay, you two can move freely in the house now. Next, I have to take a look at those basic books I brought back." After writing down his thoughts, Qin Ge said to his two ship girls.
"Um, Commander, can I study with you? And if there is anything you don't understand about us, you can ask me." The Centaur said to Qin Ge with a smile.
"Of course, if you don't mind being bored." Qin Ge nodded and smiled.
"Of course not!" said the Centaur happily.
So the three of them went upstairs together, Noshiro went to his room while Centaur went into his room with Qin Ge. The two sat side by side in front of the table, Qin Ge directly picked up a copy of "KanColle Detailed Explanation" and began to read, while Centaur picked up a book from the pile of books and started to read it. The room was silent for a while, with only the sound of turning pages and Qin Ge recording the key points of the book in a notebook.
Although this "Detailed Explanation of KanColle" is called a book, it actually does not have many pages, only about forty or fifty pages. However, these forty or fifty pages record things that are very relevant to KanColle, such as ship equipment, training level, breakthroughs, etc.
After reading it, Qin Ge sorted out his thoughts, then marked it in the notebook and said to the Centaur beside him, "Centaur, I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer them for me."
"Okay, Commander!" said the Centaur, putting down the book in his hand.
"First, how do you calculate your training level? It only says that the training level is related to the strength of the ship girl, but it doesn't explain in detail how they are related." Qin Ge said, pointing to his notebook.
"Our training level is actually similar to the actual combat experience we gain from participating in battles. Take me for example, the more battles I participate in, the more proficient I am in controlling my carrier-based aircraft. The speed of each aircraft launched will increase, and the control over the entire airspace will also increase." The Centaur explained.
"So that's how it is. Then what about the breakthrough?" Qin Ge asked.
"A breakthrough occurs when a ship girl reaches a certain level of training. She will gain a qualitative improvement. To be more specific, she will send out more planes, and her control over them will become more efficient. Each ship girl can achieve three breakthroughs in her lifetime. And she will be able to sense it every time she is about to break through," explained the Centaur.
"Yeah." Qin Ge nodded. "What about the oath? I read in the book that the oath is similar to marriage in the human world?"
"I think so." The Centaur said with a blush.
Qin Ge was stunned, then smiled. There was a saying circulating in the academy before, that the army regards the gun in their hands as their second life, the air force regards their planes as their partners, and the navy regards their warships as their wives.
The vows nowadays were basically conceivable. After living and dying together for such a long time, it was natural for some romance to develop. However, there was a problem that Qin Ge could not understand.
"Centaur, I touched your hand before and found that there was no difference between your hand and that of humans, so I want to ask, why can you withstand the attacks of artillery shells and torpedoes?" Qin Ge asked.
"Because when we don't use the power of the Mind Cube, we are just like ordinary human girls, but once we use the power of the Mind Cube, we will become real battleships." The Centaur explained.
Qin Ge nodded, and then asked seriously, "So, can I have a relationship with the ship girl after I get married?"
"Ah..." The Centaur's face turned even redder and he stammered.
After seeing her reaction, Qin Ge immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask, I didn't mean anything else..."
"Yes, because the body structure of the ship girl in normal form is the same as that of humans, so..." said the Centaur.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Qin Ge nodded and quickly wrote it down in his notebook. After recording it, he looked up at the Centaur and said, "So can the Ship Girl have children?"
"No..." the Centaur said speechlessly.
"Why? Didn't you just say that the body structure of a ship girl in her normal form is the same as that of a human? Why can't she have children?" Qin Ge asked.
"Because the power of the ship girls is provided by the Rubik's Cube, they have no fertility..." The Centaur lowered his head even more.
"It's really strange. Since the body structure is not able to reproduce..." Qin Ge said to himself in confusion, "It would be great if it could reproduce. Then there wouldn't be so few ship girls and commanders."
"Commander..." The Centaur was speechless. He originally thought that Qin Ge was teasing him, but he didn't expect that he was really considering this matter seriously.
"By the way, Centaur." Qin Ge turned his head and asked, "Is the ship girl going to the toilet?"
The Centaur said nothing more and turned away, closing the door with a "click"...
"Eh...if you don't want to answer, then don't answer..." Qin Ge shook his head and started studying again.
When Noshiro heard the Centaur's door close and walked out, she saw the Centaur with a red face. She asked in surprise, "Did the Commander touch you?"
The Centaur shook his head, "No."
"Then why do you look a little angry?" Noshiro asked.
"The commander..." the Centaur stammered, "He asked a lot of strange questions..."
"Oh, what are you asking?" Noshiro asked curiously.
"He asked the ship girl if she could have children?" the Centaur said speechlessly.
"Oh, what else did you ask?" Noshiro asked with a gloomy face.
"He also asked the ship girl if she knew how to go to the toilet..." the Centaur said blushing.
With a "clang" sound, the Centaur looked at Noshiro and said, "Hey, Noshiro-senpai, please don't draw your sword..."
