: A New Business in Hokkaido

“It’s not that exaggerated, it’s just that your ship equipment wasn’t so heavy before.” Hokkaido said as he turned back to the pile of debris, and took out two thick metal air pressure rods from inside.

Chiyuan has only seen this thing in the maintenance class, and she looked at the air pressure pole in Hokkaido’s arms in surprise: “This…why is there here?”

“Because this is originally a maintenance room, where all kinds of spare parts are stored.” While talking about Hokkaido, he handed the air pressure rod to Chi Yuan, “This is not a very good thing, so I will only show it to you.”

“It’s like installing something like this on your connecting rod. While strengthening the connecting rod, it can also slightly ease the pressure on the connecting rod.”

Having said that, Hokkaido made a splicing action, and then put down the two spare parts under Chi Yuan’s gaze: “If necessary, I can apply to Instructor Bismarck for a hydraulic rod of better quality.”

So professional… This is as professional as the teachers I met at the United World Naval Academy…

Chi Yuan thought silently in her heart, and at the same time nodded her head vigorously. However, according to the Coalition Government’s Human-to-Ship Convention, the transformation of a human-to-ship ship requires the approval of the Coalition Government.

Therefore, Chi Yuan felt a little guilty about Hokkaido’s private repair and renovation of ship equipment under the protection of HM Heavy Industries.

“Well, Hokkaido, don’t you need to apply to your superiors for adding hydraulic rods? It’s just that?”

Finally, when she wrote down the purchase demand in Hokkaido, she asked her inner anxiety: “If you increase it privately, you will be fined, right?”

“Eh? It’s not that serious.”

Hokkaido raised his head while talking: “Only when the ship type involves a change, it needs to be reported.”

That’s how it was. I recalled that the pioneers once said that although she is now a thunder patrol, her body is suitable for the Aegis anti-missile armor, so she also submitted an application to the higher authorities.

But speaking of it… If you don’t need to apply for small renovations, wouldn’t you be exploiting a lot of loopholes?

Seemingly seeing her confusion, Hokkaido took off his dirty gloves and waved his hand at her: “However, most people have reached the limit of their bodies when modifying ships, and there is no way to modify them even if they want to.”

Although she told the fact in a declarative tone, Chiyuan still felt that Hokkaido was talking about herself.

Ship equipment is a rather magical thing. It can stimulate human potential, develop human brains, and at the same time squeeze human potential completely.

Just as Chiyuan was thinking wildly, Hokkaido reminded: “Your ship’s equipment is probably in the most ideal state, and it still has more surprises for you.”

Speaking of this, Hokkaido smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Chi Yuan’s flight deck: “Maybe we can see this child in full form in the future, it must be very spectacular.”

Child, child?

Looking at Hokkaido’s expectant and shining expression, Chi Yuan really didn’t dare to say anything to refute. Looking at the other party looking forward to the future of the ship as if she was looking forward to her own baby, she suddenly felt a little stressed.

Maybe my ship will grow into a mobile fortress in the future…

Chi Yuan, who was ashamed of her brain-filling pictures, shook her headShe shook her head, and after shaking the strange picture out of her mind, she took a deep breath: “Speaking of which, are you doing maintenance in Hokkaido now?”

“Huh? Well, because of the problem with my ship’s equipment, I more or less know how to repair and modify it. After applying to the Bismarck instructor, I got permission to study here.”

While talking, she lowered her head and reversed Chi Yuan’s flying platform in a very easy way, revealing that Chi Yuan couldn’t even see the bottom by herself.

To Chi Yuan’s surprise, her flight deck was full of smoke and dust from the flames of war and broken holes, and it looked like it hadn’t been maintained at all.

And Chi Yuan’s funny and embarrassed expression also let Hokkaido know that she hadn’t maintained her ship equipment at all.

“Student Chiyuan, even if the ship’s equipment can be repaired by quick repair devices and maintenance channels, you still have to pay attention to maintenance.” Speaking of which, Hokkaido stretched out his hand and poked a crack with debris.

This is not a very serious problem, but because the crack was judged not to be a threat, the maintenance equipment was not able to completely heal it.

If Chi Yuan went to repair the canal now, maybe the water would still flood in.

Hokkaido’s serious reminder made Chiyuan bow her head in embarrassment and admit her mistake: “Sorry… I don’t know at all…”

Seeing Chi Yuan’s sincere attitude, Hokkaido didn’t continue to talk about her after all, but pushed her to the ground and sat down, while he took out the cleaning tools himself.

Chiyuan’s ship was not only stained with the smoke and dust left over from the war, but also countless deep-sea mucus and bloodstains. Some sharp tooth marks were also found in Hokkaido.

Is this going to the front line with the ship girls? Why did it cause a situation that was completely impossible to see in the training school?

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Hokkaido still smeared the cleansing foam on Chiyuan’s ship, took out the brush and began to brush frantically.

“Um… Hokkaido, I probably don’t need to use so much force. I’ll repair the canal and soak it for a while…” Chi Yuan wanted to escape the fate of being caught and washed by Hokkaido.

But Hokkaido didn’t plan to let her go: “The water for repairing the canal can only soak these stains, and there is no way to clean them up without some methods. And Chi Yuan, how did you manage to solidify your own oil on the deck?”

“If you go on like this, the plane will skid during takeoff.”

While scrubbing vigorously, Hokkaido complained that Chi Yuan didn’t care about her ship’s outfit at all. However, the more she washed, the harder she worked. In the end, her wrists started to feel sore, and the dirt on the ship’s suit didn’t seem to be washed off.

Is this… already glued together? !

Realizing that the matter was very serious, Hokkaido threw down the cleaning tools in his hand with a dark face.

Chi Yuan sat obediently on the ground, looked at the dark-faced Hokkaido washing his hands next to the sink in fear, then took out the phone and dialed a number.

“Hey, Miss Kiyomizu Temple, I am Hokkaido.”

“Well, classmate Chi Yuan is here in the maintenance room. I would like to ask you to help me find someone with great cleaning skills to come over. It doesn’t have to be fast. Classmate Chi Yuan’s ship inspection is not over yet. You can clean it after it is over.”

“Is there an excellent candidate? Thank you very much. I will seize the time to check the ship’s equipment for Chi Yuan. Well, good night.”

After hanging up the phone, Hokkaido breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes seemed to shoot out fire to look at the poor and weak Chiyuan: “Student Chiyuan, we will definitely clean it up for you after the inspection, absolutely.”

“No…that…it doesn’t have to be…”

Guessing who the perfect candidate is, Chi Yuan felt that she was going to be kneaded into dough like Amberis.
