Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1443 Akashi's Research Bottleneck

Although his personal affairs were also important, Yang Sikang's leisurely conversation with Beifa did not last too long.

The submarines including Big Bluefish appeared stealthily near the corridor. After Yang Sikang noticed this, he asked Beifa to go over and ask.

Although he learned that they came to play with Dafeng, he did not think much about it. After all, both bluefin tuna and archerfish have this habit.

The bluefin tuna likes to play with the big croaker, and the archerfish always wants to make friends with Shinano. It is also a very delicate situation.

There was nothing wrong with this for him, so he just reminded them not to go too far and left it alone.

But Nautilus brought a piece of news that Kuibyshev of Northern Union has often appeared in Akashi's store recently, as if he was looking for something.

"Looking for something in Akashi's store. Befa, do you think it's possible that Kuibyshev is looking for Akashi?"

"It's possible. If she's looking for Miss Akashi, then she's probably not looking for the Akashi from our fleet."

Beifa answered cheerfully, and Yang Sikang nodded with a smile.

"That'll be easy."

He went straight to the development zone and found the two Akashis who were discussing something in the laboratory. He then brought the Akashi from the main family out alone.

"Kuibyshev from the Northern Union has been looking for things in your store these past few days. Go and see what she is looking for and supply whatever is missing."

"Hum meow?"

Mingshi from the original family was a little unresponsive for a moment. She looked back at the laboratory in confusion, and then looked at Yang Sikang. Her eyes clearly said, why let her go instead of your own Mingshi to do this?

The main family member Akashi is very clear about her position. She is just a partner in the business here. Strictly speaking, she does not participate in the management at all. The main area she is responsible for is in Sakura Empire. She has made a very clear distinction between this and Akashi of Yang Sikang's fleet.

Yang Sikang didn't say much, and said directly:

"Anyway, you should go there. I will talk to Akashi here about this."

"Okay, I'll go over there then, meow."

Akashi reluctantly returned to the laboratory to put down her things. The research progress here was obviously going smoothly, so she seemed a little reluctant.

After the main family member Akashi left, Yang Sikang briefly explained the situation to his own Akashi, and then waited here.

Yang Sikang’s fleet research projects are now generally classified into relatively simple and easy-to-understand categories.

The development of things related to ship equipment, especially new ship equipment and new manufacturing technologies, is basically led by the two Yubari, and Ingraham often goes to assist them in their research.

Ingraham is mainly responsible for the improvement of existing ship equipment, such as the strengthening and modification technology of ship equipment.

As for Akashi, the two of them took over the remaining miscellaneous projects. To put it simply, as long as they had an idea, they would do whatever it was.

This resulted in the two Akashi having the heaviest workload, but even so they still had the time and energy to run all those shops. Although they had teamed up with Ding'an, it was still a bit too aggressive.

"Speaking of which, we made something very interesting yesterday, meow!"

Akashi was fiddling with a bunch of mechanical parts while chatting, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He swiftly put the wrench into his sleeve, put down the pile of mechanical devices, and ran to the other end of the laboratory.

She searched for a while, then ran back with a long cardboard box, but she stepped on a screwdriver scattered on the ground and fell out.

Fortunately, Befa rushed forward in advance and barely managed to catch Mingshi, while the long cardboard box that was thrown out was picked up by Yang Sikang in mid-air.

This thing weighs about ten pounds, which is not very heavy, and has a good center of gravity.

Akashi got up and hurried over. He first checked that the cardboard box was fine, then heaved a sigh of relief and began to unpack it.

One floor, two floors, three floors...

After unpacking five layers of packaging, Akashi finally took out the contents - a weapon that looked very similar to a naval gun!

"Hehehe~ This is Akashi's latest research result, meow! It's the embodiment of the energy weapon that the commander envisioned!"

The main part of this thing is similar to the battleship's gun. The front part is an extended special gun barrel with a complex outer shell. This is the main body of the energy cannon. The energy supply and calculation part at the back is obviously different from the battleship's gun. It is more like a weapon that appears in science fiction anime works.

The appearance is slightly exaggerated with a strong sense of technology. The overall structure and color scheme are in line with this feeling. The most important thing is the holographic projection imaging sight.

But this thing cannot be said to be different from what Yang Sikang wants, at least it is very different!

"When did I ever say I wanted this kind of...weapon?"

Yang Sikang found it a little strange, because this thing looked like a weapon for personal use, and he had always been against ordinary people using weapons made from the Mind Cube. The only exception was his two pistols, which were specially modified to overflow with the energy of the Mind Cube and were unusable by ordinary people.

"Commander, are you worried about the safety of this thing? Hehehe~ Not everyone can touch this, meow!"

Mingshi was very proud. After introducing it to Yang Sikang, Yang Sikang also roughly understood the correct way to use this thing.

Simply put, this thing cannot power itself. Although there is a container to store the energy of the Mind Cube, it must have external energy stimulation. According to Akashi's design, this thing can only be used by the KanColle and he, who has the energy of the Mind Cube in his body.

The other parts are actually of the same type as the energy weapons Yang Sikang wanted, except that the structure is different.

The reason why it is made for single-person use is to save trouble, facilitate testing and save time. Both the testing and production are very covert and not easily known by outsiders.

And there's something wrong with this thing.

"The problem now is that this structure is too complicated, meow!"

Akashi said:

"If it's used in a single-person size like this, the energy intensity is not high, so the material is fine. But if it's made into a battleship gun and used in naval battles, the energy intensity is too high, and the material will have a hard time supporting it, meow!"

Akashi shook his head as he spoke, helplessly:

"The material used by the Gu Diao before couldn't hold up for a few times. The strength requirements of the upgraded energy cannon are too high."

Yang Sikang frowned slightly when he heard this. His desire for the energy cannon was certainly not a spur of the moment idea, but he had been considering this aspect for a long time.

The main gun of the Gu Diao was a test, but what made him decide to propose formal research in this area to Akashi were the two machines that are still lying in his laboratory!

The Purifier's floater and main guns are both capable of firing energy weapons in rapid succession without any pressure!

"Befa, wait for me here with Akashi for a while."

Yang Sikang thought about it, left here and went to his own laboratory.

He couldn't take out the Purifier's body now, but he could take out the weapons that had been separated before.

After careful consideration, he chose to take the floating cannon first.

Then, Yang Sikang brought the Purifier's floater cannon back to Akashi's laboratory and handed the two assembled floaters to Akashi.

"Try to study this, the Purifier's floating cannon."
