The Man Standing at the Top of the Food Chain

As a professional admiral, the admiral should enjoy peace and warmth at home when the ship girls are fighting to death outside, so Tang Cheng, as always, returned to the living room after the fleet sortie, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed Treat yourself to a whale knee pillow while she massages you.

As far as body sensation is concerned, Tang Cheng feels that Big Whale's massage level has improved a lot, and it seems that he can be trained to be a massage master.

"Well, judging by the time, maybe a big guy will appear now?" Suddenly, Tang Cheng muttered to himself.

"Big guy?" Big Whale was taken aback, and asked instinctively, "Admiral, what are you talking about?"

Tang Cheng opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "Big Whale, you think the Deep Sea Fleet has no intention of occupying our tutelary fort, but has kept a lot of troops in the nearby waters. Why?"

"Hey, this..." Big Whale was in a dilemma. Although she had learned fishing and massage, she didn't know anything about tactics. However, when the admiral asked her, she couldn't help but answer, and said innocently, "Maybe it's because they know Our tutelary mansion still slipped through the net, so we just sit there and plan to wipe us out in one fell swoop."

"This possibility is not entirely impossible, but..." Tang Cheng shook his head, "According to my investigation and the information obtained in the two actual battles, the Deep Sea Fleet is not the kind of idiot who only knows firepower but does not know strategy, and even It can be said that they are very smart, and their strategy is not inferior to that of humans. Moreover, the deep-sea fleet is very united, and basically there will be no such thing as internal intrigue, so in essence, they are better than human beings. A lot. This is probably one of the main reasons why humans cannot repel the deep sea fleet."

"Then, the technology in the deep sea is more advanced than we imagined."

"Ok?"

"Take the first night battle as an example. When Xili was approaching the supply ship and was about to attack, the opponent suddenly fired a flare. If it didn't find Xili's existence, I wouldn't believe it even if I killed it. But here Before, it pretended to be completely ignorant, and then a flare not only disturbed Xili's attention, but also left her nowhere to hide. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If there was no auspicious protection at that time, Xili would have sunk already... After that, I felt that the deep sea was unusual. It was obviously just a supply ship, but it was equipped with flares and a main gun that was as powerful as a battleship. This is almost the same as my idea of ​​​​making Xili equipped with 46 guns. And we still have undone."

"I see, but what does this have to do with their intentions?"

Hearing this, Tang Cheng sat up and shook his head, "If we know why that supply ship is transporting Shigure and Chicheng, maybe we can understand their intentions."

The big whale blinked, "Admiral, do you know why they did that?"

"There is no definite evidence. But there is a possibility..." Tang Cheng smiled slightly, and said mysteriously, "Big Whale, how do you think the deep-sea habitat ships came from? Even if they were formed naturally in the first place, but After countless battles, their number has not decreased, but has increased, but human beings still can't find their source, only knowing that they are almost impossible to destroy. Why?"

"This..." Big Whale shook her head, this question was too difficult for her.

Tang Cheng didn't expect her to be able to answer.Said: "Actually, if we can abandon some conventional thinking and be more whimsical, it may not be difficult to come up with the answer, such as... deep-sea dwelling ships and ship mothers, both of which are also life that does not exist in this world, although Natural enemies of each other, but why can't both sides be the same existence?"

"The same existence?" Hearing this, the big whale felt a chill inexplicably.

"It is not surprising that the deep-sea fleet has surpassed human technology. It is not surprising that they can do things beyond our imagination. Then, if combined with the relationship between the deep sea and the ship's mother, perhaps... when the ship's mother dies, It is not impossible for the deep sea to fish up their bodies from the bottom of the sea, and then transform them into deep sea dwelling ships."

"This?!" The sudden astonishing speech made the big whale almost speechless.

"Of course, I'm just talking casually, and you can just listen to it casually. Don't take it too seriously." Seeing the big whale's look of being frightened, Tang Cheng smiled immediately... If you are really scared Stupid, who should he ask for a knee pillow massage in the future?

The big whale took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mood, and then said: "If the ship's mother will really be transformed into a deep-sea dwelling ship after death, why can we still build the ship's mother? Half a year, how do you count?" They should all be able to pick up the sunken ship of our tutelary mansion, right?"

Oh, it doesn't seem like he has been hit too hard, but that's right, after all, she is always the ship's mother.

Tang Cheng smiled, "This is a question of whether it can be reformed, just like whether the second reform can achieve enough experience and strength. If I analyze it according to my thinking, some ship girls who are regarded as abandoned sons, although in Under the instinct and vocation of the ship's mother, they will obey the order of the admiral to become abandoned sons, but no one in this world will die willingly. When they are sunk, they may be relieved, or they may feel resentment, but Among them, the ship girls with resentment are very likely to be transformed into deep-sea habitat ships. Then, some ship girls who died in ordinary battles on the battlefield will think that they have done enough and die without complaint. But some will die with great regrets, and if these regrets are transformed into resentment after their death, it is also possible to be transformed."

"So, the reason for the transformation is resentment?"

"I said that there is no real evidence, it's just a guess." Tang Cheng sat down and said calmly, "But from the temperament of the deep sea ship, it is not a problem to say that they are the negative products of this world, but If you want to turn a positive product into a negative product, there is nothing but negative emotions such as resentment and hatred."

"Then..." Big Whale pinched the corner of his clothes and turned around, hesitating for a long time before finally asking, "Then Admiral, do you think that some of the ships in our tutelary mansion have been transformed into deep-sea ships?"

Tang Cheng turned his head and glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "We can't jump to conclusions at the moment, I don't think there are many, even if there are. Those who die with hope for the future, for this kind of people, their biggest wish is not whether they can live, but whether they can protect their hope. When they die, they don't see their hope If it is smashed, generally speaking, it will not feel resentment, and if it can pass away with a smile, then the possibility of being transformed into a deep-sea habitat is very small."

"Huh..." Hearing this, Big Whale heaved a sigh of relief. If his ship's wife is transformed into a deep-sea habitat, how should he deal with it in the future?

"Of course, the small possibility does not mean that there is no possibility, such as... Shigure and Akagi."

"Eh?!" However, what Tang Cheng said next made her heart rise to her throat again.

Tang Cheng smiled, "When it comes to Shigure and Chicheng, our topic has changed back. According to the situation of the two, Siyu died with the enemy after all his companions died in battle, although it is not certain Whether she really died, but her mood at that time must be full of sadness, although it is not sure whether this kind of sadness will be transformed into resentment, but people with violent emotions are always more unstable than those who die peacefully. As for Akagi, it is She died before her companions. Although she didn't reveal her mood at the time, and she didn't look sad, but according to my understanding of human nature, the calmer the person on the surface, the greater the inner fluctuations, so... I agree Compared with ship girls like Yudachi Oi, they are more likely to be transformed into deep-sea dwelling ships."

"Why isn't Dajing? I think she is more likely?" Dajing asked suspiciously. Although Dajing has been pretending to be a lady in front of others, as one of the survivors, she knows Dajing's true temperament quite well. , isn't this kind of bad-tempered talent more likely to feel resentment?

Tang Cheng waved his hand, "Although Dajing has a bad temper, she is essentially a knife-mouthed person...and she is not a tofu-hearted person. It is difficult for normal people to get along with her, but this kind of person has advantages that ordinary people can't match. , That is to be strong. And the stronger a person is, the less he can be affected by foreign affairs, and moreover... If she died to protect Beishang, then the possibility of her feeling resentful is absolutely zero."

It was the first time Tang Cheng used the word absolute in this conversation, but the big whale was speechless.

After a slight pause, Tang Cheng continued: "From the above hypotheses, we can draw such a conclusion: Although Shigure and Chicheng died in the battle, although there was no resentment, the violent emotions may be transformed. So the deep-sea ship found them and prepared to channel out their grievances to transform them, so they sent the supply ship...Of course, there may be some changes in details here, but it does not affect the conclusion, and the given ship In the end, they were killed by us. If Shen Hai knew about this, they would definitely take action. The supply ship with firepower close to that of a battleship was wiped out. At this time, only people with brains will send stronger guys. Check the situation, such as... the real battleship!"

"Battleship? What should we do then?" The big whale suddenly exclaimed, his face full of anxiety.

Tang Cheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the ordinary deep-sea fleet, with Xili's current strength and fighting spirit, it is possible for one person to crush it. Although the battleship is fierce, if she can use the things I gave her correctly, even Unable to sink the opponent, the possibility of knocking the enemy back is still very high... At least according to my calculations, the chance of winning is more than [-]%." (To be continued~^~)
