Elder brother's garrison

Richelieu pressed Jean Bart's head down, and she lowered her head thoughtfully, giving Jean Bart, who was looking at her expectantly, a faint smile.

"Jean Barth, well done."

"Huh? My sister encouraged me?"

"Hmm, kick it a few more times next time."

"Great!"

Jean Bart threw himself into Richelieu's arms and rubbed against her happily.

Richelieu also wrapped his arms around Jeanbart's waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

……

On the beach.

The once solid human wall disintegrated after Admiral Ke Yuan left.

In the eyes of the other admirals, although Fang Jie still holds the scientific answer, his status is clearly different. He has now received the personal protection of the world's fourth admiral, and at this point in time, no one in the entire eighth chapter dares to offend Fang Jie.

In other words, Admiral Fang Jie can finally go home and see his ship girls.

"Old Jin, I'm truly grateful to you for this whole time." Admiral Fang Jie looked at Jin Shiqi and sincerely thanked him.

"No need to thank me! We're brothers!" Jin Shiqi put his hands on his hips, waved to Admiral Fang Jie, and laughed. "I should thank you too, Brother Fang! Thank you for always trusting me!"

Just as Admiral Fang Jie was about to speak, he caught sight of two figures out of the corner of his eye. The relaxed expression on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

Jin Shiqi turned around and saw two admirals with embarrassed expressions walking towards him.

These two were the same "friends" who had been bribed by Admiral Ke Yuan and were once in the same math interest group as Admiral Fang Jie.

They had betrayed Admiral Fang Jie for the sake of Admiral Ke Yuan's verbal promises of benefit, but in a later conversation, Admiral Ke Yuan casually sold them off as spoils of war. Their situation was already quite awkward. Now, with Admiral Ke Yuan's downfall and Admiral Fang Jie's alliance with the world's fourth-ranked admiral, they felt that their future was extremely dangerous. Therefore, they had to bite the bullet and come forward to beg Admiral Fang Jie for forgiveness.

"Fang...Fang Jie, there's a misunderstanding between us..."

"Fang Jie, let us explain..."

"You two, get out!" Upon seeing his two former friends, Admiral Fang Jie's face instantly turned furious. He gritted his teeth and cursed at them, "Don't ever call me by my name again! And don't let me see you again! You traitors! Get the hell out of here!!!"

"Yes! Yes! We'll disappear immediately! We'll pack our things and leave Chapter Eight right now!"

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Admiral Fang! We will leave the math discussion group!"

Upon hearing Admiral Fang's insults, the two admirals nodded as if granted a pardon and left in a panic.

"Brother Fang, aren't you going to punish them?" Jin Shiqi asked Admiral Fang Jie as he watched the two men disappear in a flash.

“What’s the point of punishing them…” Admiral Fang Jie looked into the distance and sighed helplessly. “If it weren’t for Admiral Lu Lin today, I would have been in grave danger… I survived thanks to them. Now, I’m not qualified to reward or punish others…”

“Sigh…that makes sense.” Jin Shiqi nodded.

"Speaking of which, Lao Jin."

"Ok?"

"What happened between you and Ke Yuan?" Admiral Fang Jie asked Jin Shiqi curiously.

"No, it's just that my world ranking is similar to hers, so we go to similar places. I often see him bullying those junior admirals who have just entered the eighth chapter." Jin Shiqi said, looking at the sky. "However, Admiral Ke Yuan is extremely good at scheming and trickery, and I'm not good with words, so I can never win an argument with him. That's why I can't stop those people."

“From today onwards, Admiral Ke Yuan’s reputation will probably be spread far and wide,” Admiral Fang Jie said to Jin Shiqi. “No one should fall for Admiral Ke Yuan’s tricks anymore.”

"Yes."

"And from today onwards, I'm finally free." Admiral Fang Jie sighed with relief. "After this matter is over, I've completely come to terms with it. I'm relatively safe now, so I won't come here again until the research ship girls are fully released. I estimate that once the second and third sets of research questions are solved, people's attention on me will drop to a safe level, and then I'll..."

Just as Admiral Fang Jie was telling Jin Shiqi about his future plans...

Right at this moment.

A scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

A tremendous roar suddenly echoed across the sea, and along with this roar, a huge pink pillar of light instantly rose from the sea area at 8-1.

The beam of light covered the sky and seemed to merge the sea and the sky into one.

The admirals on the beach stared in disbelief at the sea.

In an instant, the entire 8-1 sea area was bathed in pink light.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the pink pillar of light on the sea surface in utter shock.

This beam of light seems familiar...

It seems they witnessed it with their own eyes not long ago...

This is!

The second set of research questions has been solved!

Chapter 2763 The Third Scientific Research Lock!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble—

The enormous pink pillar of light shook the sea, its immense power lasting for several minutes before finally shattering into countless scattered rays of light before everyone's eyes and slowly dissipating.

The admirals on the beach stared in disbelief at the sea.

They had witnessed the spectacular scene that just occurred on the sea surface at 8-1 just a few days ago. They remembered that after the pink pillar of light appeared last time, the first research lock on the research construction machine on the sea surface was unlocked, and the second set of research questions was also made public. Now that the pink pillar of light, which symbolizes the research ship girls, has appeared again, even though most of the people present did not know the specific situation on the sea surface, everyone could guess one thing - that is, the second research lock on the research construction machine should have been unlocked as well.

Has someone created a second set of research questions?

After realizing what had happened, the admirals on the beach were first shocked, and then they all gasped in shock!

hiss!

How can it be!

How long has it been since the second set of research exam questions appeared?

Currently, among the admirals on the beach who are trying to solve the second set of research questions, the fastest progress is only to have grasped the solution to the first question. According to their expected speed, it will take at least three or four months, or even more than half a year, for the admirals on the beach to completely solve the second set of research questions!

The difficulty of this second set of research questions... is much, much more difficult than the first set!

It took more than half a month for anyone to solve the first set of questions, so what made the second set of questions so easy to solve so quickly?

What kind of person could possibly be...?

Hmm? Wait a minute.

As the admirals on the beach thought about this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck them.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to Admiral Fang Jie, who was still on the beach. At the same time, some quick-witted aircraft carrier girls on the beach also learned about the situation on the sea from the launched carrier-based aircraft.

"Admiral, the second lock on the research and construction machine has indeed been unlocked!"

"The people who unlocked the second lock were the three female admirals who had previously been in contact with Admiral Fang Jie and had given Admiral Ke Yuan a good slap in the face!"

The aircraft carrier girls relayed the information they had obtained to their respective admirals.

Upon learning who would unlock the second research lock, the admirals on the beach breathed heavily, their eyes filled with shock and longing as they stared at Admiral Fang Jie.

really!

The answers to this second set of scientific research questions were also provided by Admiral Fang Jie!

Otherwise, how can we explain the coincidence that as soon as he appears on the beach, the three female admirals also appear, and the technological lock on the research and construction machine is immediately unlocked?

It must be Admiral Fang Jie!

Admiral Fang Jie solved the second set of scientific research questions at a speed beyond our comprehension, and then came to the beach to hand them over to the three female admirals!

Ke Yuan, you wasted your efforts trying to trick Admiral Fang Jie into giving you the answer, little did you know... Admiral Fang Jie had already given the answer to someone else! No wonder those three young female admirals immediately came to his rescue when they saw Admiral Fang Jie being harassed by Admiral Ke Yuan!

I've figured it out!

I've figured everything out!

The admirals on the beach stared at Admiral Fang Jie, swallowing hard, their eyes flickering with a mixture of hesitation and longing.

At this moment, Admiral Fang Jie once again became the focus of attention. He stared blankly at the admirals around him. When he saw the fierce look in their eyes, as if a pack of hungry wolves had seen a little lamb, Admiral Fang Jie swallowed hard. He couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously took several steps back until he leaned against Jin Shiqi before stopping.

Although Admiral Haoding has spoken out to protect Admiral Fangjie, and under the influence of the world's fourth naval base, no one in Chapter 8 can now force Admiral Fangjie to hand over his research questions through coercion, threats, or other despicable means, Admiral Haoding has not prohibited other admirals from contacting Admiral Fangjie through normal means.

In other words.

Illegal methods are unacceptable, but legitimate ways of ingratiating yourself are acceptable!

Thinking of this, the admirals on the beach silently walked towards Admiral Fang Jie.

As the crowd slowly approached, Admiral Fang Jie's consciousness blurred, his legs trembled slightly, and finally he lowered his head and let out a long sigh as if giving up the struggle.

That's it.

Nothing more...

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in trying to explain anymore.

Although thanks to Admiral Lu Lin, he no longer had to worry about his life, Admiral Fang Jie seemed to have already foreseen that for a very long time to come, his doorstep would be worn down by countless admirals who would come to bother him, his phone would be bombarded with hundreds and thousands of messages, his mailbox would be filled with countless invitations, and long queues would form at his door, making his life a scene of perpetual turmoil.

……

Just as a scene of wolves devouring sheep was unfolding on the beach, Xiaobai slowly removed the second lock from the research and construction machine in front of the research and construction machine on the sea surface at 8-1.

"Phew... This pink beam of light is much bigger than the last one." Xiaobai murmured, raising her head to look at the blue sky and white clouds after the light had faded, then lowered her head to examine the scientific research lock in her hand.

This second set of research locks was as big as Xiaobai's palm and incredibly heavy. Even Xiaobai had to use some of the ship's equipment power to barely lift it.

However, before Xiaobai could carefully examine the reward of the second scientific research lock in his hand, he saw that cracks quickly covered the scientific research lock.

The next second, the sturdy metal lock crumbled in Xiaobai's hand, turning into countless tiny grains of sand that flowed down between Xiaobai's fingers.

The sea breeze blows, and the sand and gravel are carried away by the wind.

The fine sand in Xiaobai's hand quickly dissipated, leaving behind a familiar pink metal ball.

"Ah! It really is directional construction metal!" Xiaobai smiled with satisfaction when she saw the pink metal ball in her hand. She quickly gripped the pink metal ball and carefully handed it to Saratoga, who was standing next to her. "Saratoga, quickly put this in your ship equipment space for me! Keep it safe! Don't lose it!"

"Oh!" Saratoga reached out and took the metal ball from Xiaobai. She first curiously held it under her nose and smelled it carefully, then stuffed it into her ship equipment space with a strange expression.

“It smells nice,” Saratoga said. “Hmm… normal deep-sea metals shouldn’t have any smell.”

“This isn’t deep-sea metal, it’s ship girl metal…” Xiaobai smiled at Saratoga after hearing her words. “I didn’t tell you before, did I? This is a special metal that can be used to create ship girls. Our Anshan was created using this, so it’s definitely different from deep-sea metal.”

"Oh..." Saratoga nodded, seemingly understanding, "I see! This thing is very precious!"

"Correct!"

"Hey, Little White, when you unlocked the research lock just now, I sensed several carrier-based aircraft flying over from the beach." Saratoga pointed to the sky above him, where several colorful carrier-based aircraft, poised for takeoff, slowly emerged from the ship's runway behind him, their propellers whirring. "Should we sink those annoying carrier-based aircraft?"

As one of the top-ranking carrier girls in the newbie naval base, Saratoga possesses exceptional enemy detection capabilities. While these carriers' spying methods might fool ordinary carriers, they are like lighting a candle in the dark for Saratoga, making it difficult for her to miss them.

“Those must be people who came to check after seeing the pink beam of light,” Xiaobai said with a smile and a shake of her head. “They didn’t mean any harm, so let it go.”

"Oh... alright then." Saratoga raised her hand regretfully, and the carrier-based aircraft on the runway retreated back into their hulls.

"Great! Now there's only one tech lock left on the research and construction machine!" Nia, clenching her two little fists, excitedly said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, let's quickly see what the question is on the third tech lock! The beam of light was so big just now, all the admirals on the beach must have noticed it. This place will definitely be packed with people soon!"

"Yes, we should confirm it as soon as possible..." Xiaobai nodded in agreement and looked at the research and construction machine again.

Xiao Bai carefully examined the current scientific research and construction machine.

After unlocking the first and second locks, only one lock remained on the "Start Construction" button of the research construction machine. At this point, Xiaobai could even bypass the gaps in the locks and use the advantage of his slender fingers to directly touch the construction button of the research construction machine.

Xiao Bai stretched out her finger and gently tapped the button.

The buttons on the scientific research and construction machine remained motionless, as if they had become one with the space.

"Looks like there's no way to cheat... I'll have to unlock the third lock properly." Xiaobai sighed, not surprised at all. She reached out and lifted the last research lock, gently tapping it with her finger.

Based on the experience of triggering the research lock twice before, after Xiaobai lifted him up with both hands, the questions hidden inside the technology lock should appear in front of everyone in the form of a projection.

As Xiao Bai's personal problem solver, Luo Lian was naturally curious about the difficulty of this third set of scientific research questions.

Luo Lian's figure slowly approached.

To everyone's surprise, when Xiaobai tapped the research lock with his finger, no projection appeared on it; the research lock remained completely unresponsive, just like an ordinary door lock.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"What about the research questions?"

Xiao Bai, Luo Lian, and Nia were slightly taken aback when they saw the third research lock remain unresponsive.

The three of them looked at each other.
