Elder brother's garrison

"Hmm? From what you're saying, my name seems familiar?"

"This ship's name is quite famous..." Xiaobai smiled wryly.

Xiao Bai was not lying.

The name Montana is indeed very famous.

This is a battleship, and in the entire admiral community, and even in human history outside of the admiral community, it is a ship name that is so famous that everyone knows it.

because……

The Montana-class battleship is a firepower-specialized version of the Iowa-class battleship. It is also known as the largest and most heavily armed battleship in the Iowa-class ship girl faction.

In layman's terms, the Montana battleships are slightly less maneuverable than the Iowa-class battleships, but on paper, their one-on-one combat strength is stronger than that of the Iowa-class ship girls.

After all, when the Iowa-class ship girls were designed, their main navigational duties were mostly strategic protection of aircraft carriers and escort of fleets. The original intention of the Montana-class battleships was to fight, to kill, to fight, to crush the enemy, and to implement the aesthetics of battleships, to launch a fierce bombardment on the enemy as the most terrifying steel behemoth in the world.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai looked at the ship girl in front of him with a complicated expression and sighed helplessly.

Unfortunately……

Although the Montana-class battleships were indeed a terrifying battleship in human imagination, they never actually appeared in history.

After the sinking of the Yamato-class battleships, the traditional battleship combat method was ultimately proven by history to be outdated and unsuccessful. As a result, the construction plan for the Montana, which embodied the traditional battleship aesthetics, was eventually shelved and abandoned. She was merely a blueprint ship, a fleeting presence in human history.

But then again.

Ships in history are ultimately just ships in history.

Ship girls may have originated from history, but they are not entirely dependent on history.

Now that historical ships have taken human form, the value of ship girls naturally needs further evaluation.

At least from the perspective of ship girls, battleships are still one of the most mainstream combat methods. They are not outdated or obsolete.

Montana, as the most famous planned ship in history, has now appeared in the world as a ship girl. With the power derived from the historical legacy she carries, coupled with her title as the "strongest battleship" in her setting, she may indeed be a terrifyingly powerful ship girl...

After all, this is a pure, top-tier warship designed solely for combat...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the nearby deep-sea debris.

“Montana,” Little White said.

"Ok?"

"Did you do all of this?" Xiaobai pointed to the side and asked.

“Ah…you mean these Abyssal Fleet ships?” Montana followed Xiaobai’s gaze, looking at the mountains of Abyssal wreckage around them, and explained to Xiaobai, “Yes. After I appeared here, these Abyssal Fleet ships attacked me relentlessly—I don’t actually like fighting that much, but since they started attacking, I couldn’t just stand there and let them attack, so I had no choice but to sink them all.”

"...Was it a close call?"

"Did you find it thrilling?" Montana didn't answer, but just smiled and asked Xiaobai.

"..."

Xiao Bai silently sized up Montana's body and subconsciously shook his head.

Montana seems to solve these deep-sea problems with almost no effort.

“Montana, I can tell there are at least hundreds or thousands of these enemies at a glance. I believe you have strong combat capabilities, but you are a ship girl, so you must have limited resources, right? And if you get injured, you won’t be able to repair your ship equipment on this vast ocean full of deep sea…” Xiaobai asked Montana, “How do you solve these problems?”

"Are you asking me how I solved the resource constraints?" Montana asked with a smile.

"Yes."

“This is very simple.” Montana looked around, walked to a nearby deep-sea wreck, bent down, and reached out her palm to pick it up from the water. “I am a ship girl, so I can’t do things like Shen Hai, which can directly absorb deep-sea energy from the ocean to replenish combat resources.”

Boom boom boom——

Montana lifted the massive body of the deep-sea wreckage with almost no effort, using only one hand.

“Oh, thump thump…” Montana held up the deep-sea wreckage, shook his body a couple of times, and then returned to Little White, saying to Little White, “But did you know? The Deep-Sea Abominations don’t directly use the deep-sea aura as energy, you know? They actually refine the deep-sea aura, convert it into energy within their bodies, and then use it.”

"oh……?"

"So, even if I run out of resources... as long as it's like this!"

As Montana spoke, he raised his other hand and plunged it into the shell of the deep-sea wreckage, then ripped it out hard.

wow-

Gulp gulp gulp——

Large amounts of black oil flowed from the hull of the deep-sea wreckage.

“Isn’t this a readily available resource?” Montana said to Xiaobai as if it were a matter of course.

Oil flowed continuously from the deep-sea wreckage that Montana held aloft, splashing onto Montana's knees and the hem of his trench coat, blending in with the previous dirt and grime.

"So that's how it was solved?"

"Yes."

"Then...what about the damage? What should we do about the damage?"

“That makes things even easier.” Montana tossed the deep-sea debris aside, where it crashed into a nearby hill with a thud. He then smiled at Little White and said, “As long as you don’t get hurt, it’ll be fine.”

Montana's expression was relaxed and carefree, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

Seeing that Xiaobai was silent, Montana thought for a moment and then continued to speak to Xiaobai.

"Pachina".

"..."

"Pachina!"

"...Huh? Oh, are you calling me?" Xiaobai quickly looked up.

“Yes,” Montana smiled. “Let’s not talk about me yet, I also have something to ask you.”

"Ah...what's the matter?"

"Speaking of which, your outfit is a bit strange." Meng Da stroked his chin, looking at Xiao Bai with curiosity.

"Huh? My outfit looks weird...?" Xiaobai was stunned, looking at Montana in confusion.

Although Xiaobai's own fashion sense isn't exactly top-notch, all the clothes she wears are personally selected, purchased, and styled by Missouri. Xiaobai trusts Missouri's taste, and at least these clothes won't look strange on her.

Rather, does Montana even have the right to call himself weird?

It's clearly her dressed strangely...

Xiaobai looked at Montana's high-tech outfit and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Um... Montana, what you mean by 'strange' is...?"

"Hmm... your equipment seems a bit too simple. Putting aside the basic tactical jacket, aren't you wearing your command automation system, fire support squad, battlefield situational awareness device, etc.?" Montana asked Xiaobai. "Or has current technology advanced to the point that the functions of these devices have been nano-sized and concealed, so that they can function in an invisible way? At least from my point of view, your clothes seem to be only for decoration."

"Aren't clothes just for dressing up...?" Xiaobai subconsciously covered her chest and asked Montana.

"Haha, Patchina, your joke is really funny." Montana laughed. "We are ship girls, so we are here to fight. Since we are fighting, it is only natural that we wear combat suits with all sorts of auxiliary functions. If we only wear decorative clothes, what's the difference between us and being completely defenseless?"

At this point, Montana, in front of Xiaobai, pulled open his trench coat, revealing his slender, snow-white waist.

Xiao Bai blushed.

Xiao Bai quickly covered his eyes.

"Montana, what are you doing?" Xiaobai gently separated her fingers, staring at Montana's waist, and asked nervously.

“Look here.” Montana didn’t show the beauty of her body to Xiaobai. She just pointed to the inside of her trench coat. “For example, my combat jacket. It not only has integrated information exchange functions, but also an internal circulation temperature control system. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. It can also monitor my health information to ensure that my blood pressure, heart rate, vital signs, and even emotional state are all above the health line.”

Following the direction Montana pointed, Xiaobai indeed saw that the inside of the trench coat was filled with all sorts of lightweight yet clear wires and screens.

Xiao Bai was stunned.

This thing... doesn't seem like something that could be made with advanced technology, does it?

"Montana... In your impression, are all ship girls configured like this?" Xiaobai asked.

“Hmm, what else?” Montana said. “Isn’t this all the same standard configuration?”

Xiaobai frowned, looked at Montana, and pondered for a while.

"……Montana……"

"what happened?"

Can I ask you something?

"go ahead."

What does human society look like in your impression?

“Well… I haven’t seen it with my own eyes either, but when I was born, many impressions of human society automatically appeared in my mind—if I recall, it was probably skyscrapers over a thousand stories high, countless sky bridges, small, self-driving spaceships for getting around, an artificial ozone layer in the sky, no-fly zones in space, advertisements for holographic celebrities everywhere, and occasionally advertisements for tourist attractions on Mars and Mercury, and…” Montana thought for a moment and said to Little White, “That’s it, nothing strange, everything is just ordinary.”

"……"noob.

Xiao Bai covered his mouth, looking at Montana with a confused and hesitant expression.

Montana's depiction of human society... what kind of future world is that?

The scene Montana just described is something Xiaobai has only ever seen in movies or illustrations.

Is Montana from the future?

Chapter 2956 One Person Makes an Army of Ship Girls

Montana accepted Xiaobai's gaze with complete composure and returned Xiaobai's gaze in a friendly manner.

In Montana's eyes, Xiaobai could only see a clear, calm, and leisurely expression, and did not detect any deception or other such emotions.

In other words, Montana's impressions of human society were not just made up.

“Pachina, why aren’t you saying anything?” Montana asked White.

“Ah… um…” Xiaobai shook her head. She thought for a while and gave Montana a wry smile. “I was just organizing my thoughts.”

"Organizing language?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to explain this to you..." Xiaobai said, scratching his head. "Actually, our human society is completely different from what you imagine."

Xiao Bai's words naturally piqued Montana's curiosity, and her gaze naturally fell on Xiao Bai's face.

"What do you mean by 'different'..."

boom! ! !

Montana asked Little White a question, but before Montana could finish a complete sentence, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in the open sea behind her and Little White.

In an instant, the calm sea surface exploded as if landmines had been planted, sending up huge splashes dozens of meters high.

A large amount of seawater rose into the sky amidst a violent explosion, and within seconds it turned into a heavy downpour, crashing down onto the sea.

It rained heavily.

Montana turned to look at the source of the sound. Her combat jacket emitted a faint blue light, and a strange air force field appeared outside her body. The rain falling from the sky did not hit her directly, but instead automatically parted around her and fell into the water at her feet.

Montana showed no surprise; after glancing at the water at the site of the explosion, she simply smiled faintly.

Montana turned to look at Little White.

In Montana's view, as the rainstorm began, a black hand, taller than a person, emerged from the water behind Little White. The hand rose above Little White's body, its five fingers spread out to protect him, shielding him from all the rainwater that fell on him.

Montana stared at the giant hand above White's head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Huh? What happened—" Under the palm of his hand, Xiaobai subconsciously raised his arm to look at the source of the sound. "We were having a nice chat, how... how could it suddenly explode..."

"Judging from the sound of that entrance, he seems quite angry," Montana said with a smile.

"Angry?" Xiaobai paused for a moment, then looked blankly at Montana.

“Yes—it’s about time, I think.” Montana responded to Xiaobai’s words and looked back at the source of the sound.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and Montana, a huge whirlpool had formed on the surface of the sea where the violent explosion had just occurred.

A rumbling sound echoed within the vortex, and then, a massive body covered in steel armor emerged from the vortex, like a colossal robot making its entrance.

The enormous body that emerged from the whirlpool stared with blood-red eyes, slamming its fists against the water's surface and roaring angrily toward Montana.

boom! ! !

Awooooo

The massive steel body splashed up a curtain of water, and its roar, like that of a behemoth from the abyss, resonated in our ears.
