Elder brother's garrison

Changchun and Anshan glanced at the other ship girls who showed no reaction and suddenly felt uncertain.

"Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet." Jinan immediately stopped the two older sisters, then put away her giggling smile and said seriously.

"This is my power as a ship girl!"

"But this is not my strength as a research ship girl!"

"As a research ship girl, I also possess another power!"

Jinan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her expression gradually became serious.

Anyway, let me tell you a story first.

Everyone could clearly sense that Jinan's aura was beginning to change.

"There was once a group of people who led others through the darkness."

"Above the blue waves."

“Blue Sky Qun Yi Lin Yi Qi Si Wu Jiu IX Ba Xia”

“That used to be their weakest point.”

"They ate the least food and suffered the most in the darkness. They endured immense pressure and moved forward fearlessly amidst difficulties and dangers."

"I am Jinan, I am the result of their progress, I represent hope, I represent change and innovation, therefore, I am the flame that illuminates the darkness and the light that dispels everything."

"...I deserve to have the power to change and innovate."

As Jinan spoke, he released his grip.

In an instant, even under the sunlight, her palms shone brightly.

"My second ability is that I can bring the power of modification to ship girls, so that ship girls with potential can have the same qualifications as me to pilot missiles!"

Chapter 3052 Jean Bart's Transformation

Jinan opened its palm, and the light in its palm was dazzling.

The ship girls could hardly look directly at Jinan's radiance; at that moment, they felt as if Jinan had transformed into a small sun.

"Wait, wait... judging from what Jinan just said, she also has stage two abilities?"

"Her second-stage ability... yeah, what does that mean again?"

"Her second-stage ability is to trigger the missile modification of the ship girls!"

Amidst the light, a ship girl who had just realized what was happening raised her arm to shield Jinan from the light, suddenly understanding.

“Eh——”

"Missile modification!"

"That's like Missouri and Changchun..."

Upon hearing this, the ship girls instinctively looked away, glancing at each other.

As they exclaimed in surprise, a bright light also shone in the eyes of the ship girls!

Missile modification!

So strong!

Is this the power that Jinan, as a research ship girl, can bring to the naval base...?

As we all know, although missile ship equipment is powerful, the number of ship girls in the world who can be modified to use missiles and successfully possess missile ship equipment is extremely small. Even in the world's number one naval base, the number of ship girls with missile ship equipment is less than ten.

Even though missile ship girls are so rare, missiles are still one of the most advanced and effective combat methods for newbie naval bases!

Beyond the range of carrier-based aircraft!

Its armor-piercing power surpasses that of naval guns!

And... an extremely high level of accuracy thanks to cutting-edge technology!

Missouri initially relied on a single missile-equipped ship to suppress Frederick the Great, whom even the White Army couldn't defeat for a time!

If Jinan's second force can truly provide newbie naval bases with a large number of missile ship girls, then even if the missile ship girls it catalyzes are not as powerful as Missouri, as long as they are at the level of Changchun, with a full complement of missile ship girls, they might really be able to compete with Montana!

Upon realizing this, the ship girls present immediately became excited.

The ship girls quickly stared at the light and looked at the petite figure enveloped in it.

For a moment, the ship girls no longer felt the dazzling light; they only felt excited.

"Jinan! You are so powerful!"

"With you here, maybe it really will work!"

"Quick, quick, can I become a missile ship girl too?!"

"Research ship girls, you're amazing!"

"..."

Amidst the eager anticipation and calls of the ship girls, Jinan's dazzling aura finally began to change.

As if sensing something, Jinan, bathed in light, raised its hand and pointed at the ship girls in front of it.

The next moment, as if a light bulb had been turned up to its highest wattage, Jinan's light surged once again. However, after reaching its limit, it suddenly contracted, transforming into a straight ribbon of light that shot towards the ship girls in the blink of an eye.

The light streak darted towards the ship girls like a flying snake.

The ship girls instinctively reached out to receive it, but the beam of light nimbly bypassed their arms and shot rapidly behind them.

At last.

The band of light exploded on the empty ground with a bang, turning into starlight and disappearing into nothingness.

As the band of light disappeared, the dazzling lights around them finally went out, and the scenery returned to normal.

The ship girls turned around and stared blankly at the empty space where the light band had disappeared. They subconsciously glanced at their hands, then looked at Jinan with confusion.

"Huh... what is this...?"

"Does Jinan's capability take effect immediately?"

"Missile modification... Hmm... I feel like apart from my eyes getting a little sore, nothing seems to have changed?"

"Uh... my eyes are sore... probably from being blinded by the light just now."

The ship girls murmured hesitantly, all looking towards Jinan.

The ship girls, who had witnessed Jinan's power seemingly taking effect, were puzzled as they did not feel any changes in their bodies and awaited Jinan's explanation.

In the eyes of the ship girls, Jinan was bent over, hands on her knees, panting heavily.

Shaky.

Xiao Bai quickly stepped forward and helped Jinan up.

"This...this ability...is surprisingly tiring to use..." Jinan said breathlessly, as if he had just done some strenuous exercise.

"How are you in Jinan?" Xiaobai leaned closer and asked with concern.

"It's...it's alright..." Jinan leaned into Xiaobai's arms, let out a long breath, and asked the ship girls in front of her, "How are you feeling?"

My eyes are so sore...

"Besides eye strain?"

"Uh..." The ship girls looked at each other, then shook their heads in confusion. "I don't feel anything anymore."

"Huh? Don't you guys have that feeling of needing to make changes?" Jinan asked curiously.

"No."

After the ship girls finished answering, they looked longingly at Jinan.

Jinan's expression became somewhat subtle for a moment. She nestled in Xiaobai's arms and thought for a while before speaking to everyone.

"My modification ability doesn't actually work on everyone. It only works on ship girls who have the potential for missile modification but haven't undergone any modification before."

"Huh?" The ship girls were stunned.

Most of the ship girls present had undergone modifications, so does that mean they lost the right to have their missiles modified?

“Wait, what about me?” Wisconsin raised her hand and pointed to herself.

“We probably don’t have the potential to modify missiles,” Iowa said, patting Wisconsin on the shoulder and smiling at her.

"How could this be—even Missouri can be modified!"

“One person, one change; that’s how it is,” Iowa nodded.

"Damn it—that means I'm destined to be a battleship for the rest of my life!" Wisconsin was so angry that she collapsed into Iowa's chest, her head bobbing against Iowa's chest twice.

"Missile aptitude is a very mysterious thing. You might not have it the day before yesterday, or yesterday, but suddenly you have it today," Jinan explained to Wisconsin and Iowa. "Although it's not possible now, you may still become missile ship girls in the future."

"I see." Iowa held Wisconsin's head and smiled slightly at Jinan.

"So, does that mean that among the ship girls present, there isn't a single one who has the qualifications of a missile ship girl but hasn't undergone modification?" Xiaobai asked Jinan. "Are there really so few ship girls who meet this requirement?"

"There are indeed few... um... but I clearly sensed one just now." Jinan nodded to Xiaobai, but quickly, she touched her lips and muttered as she searched around, "The modification beam I just fired should have been aimed at a ship girl with modification potential..."

"Was that called 'modified light'...?"

"But I remember that beam of light bypassed us and exploded directly into the air."

"What's wrong with the air...?"

The ship girls looked around in confusion.

Jinan was also puzzled.

Of everyone present, only Xiaobai looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmm... I see." Xiaobai nodded. After thinking for a while, she said to everyone, "It's probably because a lot of time has passed, and the spiritual energy I gave you has started to dissipate, which is why you can't see her anymore. As for Jinan... I didn't send her any spiritual energy yesterday because it was too late."

"what?"

"Who?"

The ship girls looked at Xiaobai with curiosity.

Without saying a word, Xiaobai hugged Jinan with one arm and stretched out the other, addressing the crowd.

"Come on, give me your hand."

The ship girls blinked, looking at Xiaobai's outstretched, fair hand, and then quickly shook hands with her.

Before the ship girls could ask what happened next, the next second, Xiaobai's mental energy was sent out with a bang, and the ship girls present subconsciously widened their eyes.

The moment Xiaobai's spiritual power was channeled into the ship girls' equipment, a sense of sudden enlightenment filled their minds.

Almost at the same time.

The ship girls recalled the figure of a particular ship girl.

The ship girls turned around and looked at the open space.

A beautiful ship girl with pink hair, a good figure, and a black top hat suddenly appeared on the ground that was just empty a moment ago.

Jean Bart!

At this moment, Jean Bart looked like she was about to run away. For some reason, her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were sparkling with a bright pink light.

This is exactly the special reaction that ship girls' bodies produce when they can be modified!

"Jean Barth! I remember now!" The ship girls all pointed at Jean Barth. "So, you're the one who got the missile upgrade opportunity!"

"Oh dear..." Jean Bart gasped for breath, stopping her escape. She scratched her head awkwardly, looked at Little White, and said with a forced smile, "Admiral... why did you suddenly start channeling your spiritual energy into everyone...?"

"What's wrong? Did I interrupt your slacking off?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"No, no, it's not like that..." Jeanbart looked embarrassed, as if her thoughts had been guessed. She cautiously tapped her index fingers together, her big eyes blinking rapidly, the pink light in them shining like two flashlights. "This, this isn't..."

"This is the first time I've seen such a strong reaction to the modification..." Before Jean Bart could finish speaking, the ship girls crowded around, staring at his face. "Wow... his cheeks are so red, his body temperature is so high, his breathing is so rapid, and his eyes are so bright, just like... is this the ability of Jinan to trigger modification...? So amazing..."

"No, don't look at me..."

The unusual physical sensation naturally made Bahl very embarrassed. She quickly closed her eyes, took two steps back, and covered her face.

"Now we need to contact some people to modify Jean Bart," Xiaobai muttered to himself, then said to everyone, "I'll call Chaoda later and ask her to bring Yubari over."

"Yubari-nee? Yay!"

The ship girls nodded in agreement, then continued to surround Jean Bart, poking his warm cheeks with their fingers.
