Chapter 34 Awakening
Mikasa's affirmative answer made Qin Ge extremely excited at that moment. He finally inadvertently found a connection between the ship girl of this world and the battleship of another world in Mikasa.
"What is awakening? I found that it is not mentioned in the information?" Qin Ge asked with some confusion.
"Awakening is a very mysterious thing." Mikasa explained seriously, "Now on the entire Blue Planet, there are many ship girls who have reached level 100 and fully broken through, but there are very few ship girls who have truly awakened. Level 100 and fully broken through is just a prerequisite, and then there are various opportunities before you can awaken your previous memories as a battleship.
This kind of memory is completely different from the memory given by the previous Mind Cube. It is the most real and direct memory, as if we do not belong to this world, as if our mission in this world is controlled by others.
I am only on the verge of awakening now, and I carved out a battleship model based on the memories that flashed through my mind. I think that is the most original look of our shipgirls."
"I see." Qin Ge nodded. He thought Mikasa had already awakened, but he didn't expect that Mikasa was just at the threshold of awakening. "Then who are the awakened ship girls in this world?"
"Not sure, Nagato of Sakura Empire shows signs of awakening, and so does the White Eagle Enterprise, including the Iron-Blooded Bismarck, the Royal War Spite, the Free Iris Richelieu, the Vichy Jean Bart, the Northern Union Soviet Alliance, the Sardinian Empire Veneto Vittorio, and the East Glory's Yixian." Mikasa said, "Of course not the Yixian of our academy, but the commander of the East Glory Navy Command, the Kanmusu Department, Yixian."
"So, most of the ship girls who are suspected to have awakened are leaders of major camps?" Qin Ge asked.
"That's right. Maybe it's because the position of a leader requires more responsibilities, so the awakening will be faster. And there are many people like me who have just started awakening after reaching full training. They are in the confidential units or commander academies of various camps." Mikasa explained with a smile.
Qin Ge nodded. It seemed that he would have to wait until his ship girl was fully trained and fully broken before he could slowly understand the awakening. Otherwise, if he rashly told Mikasa about his identity, although she would not do anything to him, if it spread to the outside world, he, a person from another world, might be captured by them as a specimen or a test subject.
By then, not only would he be unable to return home, but he might even lose his life. Qin Ge couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then calmed down his excitement and never awakening again.
Seeing that Qin Ge no longer asked about awakening, Mikasa placed the model Qin Ge gave her on the white low table in the middle, and then acted as a guide to the three of them. She led Qin Ge, the Centaur, and Noshiro to visit some unique warship models in this world in her collection room, and explained the characteristics .
Qin Ge, Centaur and Noshiro listened very carefully. Although they were not real battleships, Mikasa was a veteran of battleships. When explaining these battleships, she often gave examples of ship girls so that Qin Ge and his ship girls could feel it intuitively. So after this round, they also gained a lot of insights and knowledge.
Of course, during this time, Qin Ge also asked a lot of questions about the battleship girls in this world, and Mikasa also gave what she thought was the most correct answer.
This also gave Qin Ge a more complete understanding of the battleship girls in this world, because before, influenced by the naval strategy of the new era, he always believed that the era of big ships and big guns was over, and the current era belonged to the era of aircraft carriers.
But Mikasa's words told him that battleships were not outdated. In terms of targeted fire strikes and fire support, battleships were still far superior to other warships.
Just as submarines in this era are still a conventional military force, but in Qin Ge’s era, submarines had become the last trump card in the hands of major powers!
Perhaps I should put aside the pride of that era, and then calm down and study this era carefully, and see what kind of sparks there would be between ship girls and naval battles. Qin Ge thought so, and listened to Mikasa's explanation more seriously.
Time passed quickly as several people were concentrating on studying and explaining, and when they came to their senses, they found that it was almost time for lunch.
Mikasa quickly apologized to Qin Ge and the others, "I'm sorry, I suddenly realized that I got into the mood as soon as I mentioned the model and the battleship. I've been talking for such a long time, and you've been standing here with me for so long. I haven't cooked yet. I'm really sorry, why don't you sit at the table outside and drink some tea, I'll cook for us now."
"Mikasa-senpai, thank you so much for troubling us. We have gained a lot from listening to you explain these things. We have a deeper understanding of battleships and ship girls. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we cook or not. Now is also the time for lunch in the cafeteria. Why don't we go to eat at Yixian-senpai's place together?"
Qin Ge immediately smiled and said to Mikasa, as their relationship became closer, Mikasa also told him not to call her mentor anymore, as it seemed awkward, and just call her senior like Noshiro and the others. Qin Ge naturally agreed to this suggestion, so now he also called Mikasa senior like Noshiro and the others.
"Don't do that. I've already told you that I'm going to make you the special navy curry from the harbor where I used to stay, so I've already prepared the ingredients. And since you guys are visiting my home, I've accepted all the gifts you brought. If I, as the host, don't entertain you, wouldn't that be really rude? If that happens, I won't dare to invite you to my home again."
Listening to Mikasa's words, Qin Ge couldn't continue to refuse, so he nodded and agreed to Mikasa's request. He sat at the table in the living room with the Centaur and Noshiro, drinking tea and chatting, while Mikasa went to the kitchen to make navy curry for them.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just when Qin Ge was discussing issues regarding future training and tactical formulation with his two ship girls, a knock on the door sounded.
Because Mikasa was in the kitchen at that time, making navy curry for herself and her friends, the Centaur stood up and ran to the door to open it, while Noshiro and Qin Ge also turned their heads in that direction.
When the Centaur opened the door, a woman in a white dress and braided white hair appeared at the door...
