The young commander understood and just as he was about to move forward, Helena stepped forward to block him and sat on the chair.
But the table was not big, with only four seats. From the moment Enterprise and the Purifier sat down face to face, no matter where Su Xin sat, she would be sitting next to the Purifier.
[Helena] The action of grabbing the chairs is nothing more than the simplest psychological confrontation. The more you value such things, the more easily they are affected. Unfortunately, the Purifier is very generous and it is completely ineffective.
Su Xin was not prepared to participate in this kind of childish interaction. She sat down and looked at the Purifier, "Did the Observer go back?"
"Hmm? Oh, she didn't tell you, did she?" The Purifier swallowed the cake and moistened his throat with a cup of Coke. "Well, because the 'eggs' were laid, they had to be 'hatched' and put to use as soon as possible, so she went back to build a body."
"where?"
"It's at my base. If you want to see it, I can take you there, but looking at the situation, I don't think I have the time to go."
Su Xin didn't care about this. She just needed to confirm where the other person was and what he was doing.
She thought that it might be because she had helped to "deliver a baby" that she felt a strong sense of pity for the octopus girl. Knowing where she was, she would at least feel more at ease.
[Helena] obviously understood, so she was not in a very good mood. Fortunately, [Enterprise] was not interested in these things. Seeing that everyone was present, they immediately talked about business.
"Given the current situation, it's too early for both sides to share intelligence. I don't think the Siren is willing to be honest with us, right?"
"Of course. Although we started from the same starting point, we have been at odds with each other for so long. Even if I agree, the Weavers will not agree." The Purifier said casually.
[Enterprise] was not surprised at all and added calmly: "That's true. After all, we have different philosophies. But in my opinion, in addition to the ultimate goal, we have reached a consensus on another thing."
The Purifier held his chin up and said, "Oh, what is it?"
"...train her."
The pale fingertip pointed at the stunned Su Xin. In Helena's shallow smile, Enterprise added:
"We were not sure earlier, but now, she is powerful enough to easily defeat the [Arbitration Authority] and is undoubtedly the best person to mediate everything."
Chapter 853 Please Try Your Best to Become Stronger
[Siren] and [Ashes], two organizations whose powers are beyond human control, have a long-standing grudge against each other.
Although in the untraceable past, they were all mass-produced combat units, restraining and balancing each other under the coordination of humans.
Although fundamentally, both are based on the same starting point, they are different technological products born from completely opposite research directions.
But after the unstoppable and irreversible catastrophe, they lost the person they trusted most, and even though they had the same goal, they parted ways because of their different ideas.
Just like the two different research paths on the [Mind Cube], since there was someone leading them in the first place, both sides could not escape the disaster even if they worked together to resist, so it would be better for them to continue along their own paths.
The members of [Ember] firmly believe that the initial failure should be attributed to the lack of trust between each other.
Even at the most critical moment, humans who are good at command are still hoping for the best, hiding their thoughts from each other on how to maximize their benefits after the disaster.
The almost overwhelming defeat still could not stop their inner desire for superiority. When giving orders, they focused on protecting themselves and failed to be transparent in information.
[Ember] believes that it is precisely this kind of bad character and disunity that ultimately leads to the destruction of the world.
So they travel through various worlds, hoping to promote harmonious coexistence among humans of different camps, believing that if everyone works towards the same goal, step by step, there will be a chance to create different endings.
The Siren is just the opposite.
They are well aware that human bad qualities cannot be completely eliminated, and only endless conflicts and crises can force humans to make continuous progress.
It would be useless to try harder to create a peaceful atmosphere. It would be better to intensify the conflicts between the major camps and use their greed for victory to promote the development of science and technology.
Just like weapons that are constantly updated, if they had always been in a greenhouse, perhaps no one would have devoted themselves to research and development and completed the leap from pistols to electromagnetic guns.
[Siren] does not believe in unpredictable humans, they prefer to speak with data.
Therefore, the [Experimental Agency] was established to supervise the major experimental sites, act as villains to provoke wars, or simply become public enemies, forcing humans to continue climbing to the top of the technology tree.
The ideological conflict between the two did not develop into discord between organizations at the beginning, until the side that wanted to unite mistakenly entered the experimental field of the side that created the conflict.
When arguments are ineffective, taking action is the only option left.
Obviously, the [Experimental Agency] stationed at the experimental site is not good at fighting, and therefore is slightly inferior to the evenly developed [Ashes] in strength.
But this does not mean that "Peace" convinced "Conflict". In fact, the battle that destroyed the experimental site became the fuse that triggered the discord between "Siren" and "Ashes".
Both sides felt that the other side's actions were purely causing trouble, so opportunities for communication became less and less, and fighting became the norm.
Until today.
“So… by training me you mean…?” The young commander didn’t quite understand.
"I don't understand either." The Purifier was surprised. "I thought we were just neighbors in the harbor at most, and we would talk about our own things when we go out."
[Enterprise] pursed his lips, raised his hand to pinch his collar, and began to take off his clothes in the surprised eyes of the two. Before the Purifier could complain, the charred wound was exposed to the air.
After a brief moment of shock, Su Xin immediately handed over the [small wrench], "What happened to your injury?! Is the one I gave you ineffective?"
"Thank you, I didn't use it. After all, it was to save my life." [Enterprise] lowered his eyes and pulled the clothes to his chest. "This was left in a battle three days ago."
A large area of skin on the upper part of the plump side that was wrapped tightly with bandages, from the middle of the clavicle to the shoulder, was covered with black and red burn marks.
There was no crack caused by the explosion of a shell, nor any deep mark caused by a sharp weapon. The injured part seemed to have been drained of moisture, and it was dark and rough like a dead tree after being burned.
“Although the edge of the [disturbance] is very far away from here, we have to admit that after such a long period of evolution, their energy composition has become increasingly unpredictable.”
The Purifier didn't quite understand, so he put away his usual indifferent attitude and reached out to touch it lightly, "...same as tree bark, your repair device doesn't work?"
Helena pursed her lips. "In fact, even the device cannot analyze the cause of the injury. Enterprise was hit by an energy wave. Logically, the composition of energy waves is nothing more than those types, but..."
"But the answer given by the device is [Unknown]." [Enterprise] put on his clothes again and looked at Su Xin. "It is only when I use the metal you gave me for a short period of time that it has such a therapeutic effect."
The little commander didn't understand. Although she was smart and had read a lot of books, those books were all written based on the existing level of science and technology. If she couldn't even analyze the black technology of the two major camps, then there would be no point for her to do anything.
Besides the fact that the [Small Wrench] would work is a bit suspicious, why would [Enterprise] be afraid of running out of energy for the [Small Wrench]? Can't they come to the port to replenish it at any time?
[Enterprise] obviously understood Su Xin's subtext and replied softly: "Perhaps you don't know much because you haven't left this world. Now not only can you not go back to the past, you can't even stay still."
The Purifier had [crossed boundaries] more times than Su Xin, so he quickly realized, "You mean, if I didn't come back for three days after I left, then that means I didn't come back for three days? I can't just enter and exit in seconds like before?"
"Yes."
Su Xin suddenly realized and looked at [Helena], "No wonder I haven't seen you for a while, it turns out...ah, what about you? Are you injured?"
[Helena] curled her lips and said, "I didn't, thank you for your concern..."
"Huh..." Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and suggested, "Then I'll make a few more for you to take with you, that should be enough to last for half a week or a week, right?"
[Enterprise] was not polite and put the [small wrench] he had just received into his pocket with a "hmm" and then brought the topic back to the focus of this conversation.
"What I mean is that now the [Disturbance Products] are becoming more and more variable and difficult to handle. I hope that you [Sirens] can handle them carefully to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
The Purifier curled his lips, looking unhappy, but he accepted the kindness, "Well, thank you, I will report it to the Dream Weaver later."
[Enterprise] nodded, and heard Su Xin ask again: "What do you need me to do?"
"Well, we've discussed it." The wounded Embership returned calmly, "I hope you can stand up as soon as possible and gain a greater voice in the human community."
The little commander was stunned, "...What do you mean?"
"What I mean is..." Enterprise looked over, not joking, "Whether you want to be the official leader of the Navy or start your own business, I need you to change the status quo."
"You have to unify the situation, get out of the dilemma of looking ahead and behind, and rely on your mysterious power to become stronger without any worries."
Chapter 854 Big-eyed cute guy is very smart!
Whether it's the extraordinary physical fitness or the magical ship suit with complete functions
It even includes scientific research ships that are ahead of their time, things that ordinary commanders at that time did not have.
In daily life, Su Xin deliberately hides her special qualities, slows down the birth of scientific research ships, and reduces the number of large-scale constructions, in order to be less conspicuous.
She always likes to stay in her comfort zone, thinking that the current situation is perfect enough and that the greatest happiness is for everyone to live in peace.
The identity of commander is just a reason for her to live with the ship girls. Putting aside this title, she will still care and mediate, and strive to maintain the current peace.
This mentality cannot be said to be giving up, after all, she sets aside a fixed time every day to "chew" the Rubik's Cube to become stronger.
However, after the progress bar exceeded [80%], it became even more difficult to make any progress. Even after absorbing a large amount, there was no movement at all.
It is impossible for her to fill that bottomless pit 24 hours a day. Getting along with the ship girls is what Su Xin values most. Therefore, treating the improvement of progress as daily exercise is her current attitude.
But now [Enterprise] suddenly asked her to stand up, put aside all concerns and make herself stronger, which somewhat risks disrupting the status quo.
After all, it's one thing to talk about, but when it comes to actually doing it, there are too many concerns to list in a short time.
The most obvious point is that Su Xin was indifferent when Hao talked about his philosophy. Will Su's father, Su's mother and other people related to her be affected?
Furthermore, Ming's equipment business is getting bigger and bigger, and the objects of sales are not limited. No matter whether it has an owner or not, as long as the ship girl comes and is willing to pay, she can buy equipment of good quality.
The official and other commanders have purchased a lot of goods in secret, and everyone is a beneficiary, so no one will break the win-win situation between the ship girls and humans.
As for the unique scientific research ship, it is one of a kind and there is no other port in the world that has such a ship.
In order to obtain data or even find out methods, the authorities are willing to provide convenience to Su Xin to a certain extent and turn a blind eye to certain things.
The huge amount of visiting letters in the past period of time were basically people who got some inside information and wanted to get a piece of the pie. Otherwise, who would be willing to please a young girl? No matter how good it is, can your own ship girl be liked by others?
After all, Su Xin's status is still not high. No one values her, nor does anyone care about her ideas, and she has no say.
How to get something beneficial from her ship girl is what the official and other commanders are considering at this stage.
"So I think it's not very realistic. If I really want to put everything aside and make myself stronger, then going to the Purifier's base and retreating is the only way, right?"
"Hmm? Do you want to come to my house to play?" The Purifier was not worried at all and said happily, "Sure, the room you stayed in last time is still there, and it's very convenient to teleport back and forth."
Su Xin gave her a helpless look, "Didn't you complain that the internet in the base was too bad, that there was no food or drink, and that there was no one to talk to? Why did you let me go there?"
"Just think of it as being in the mountains. The signal is not good, but it is definitely suitable for retreat. Besides, it's not bad to stay there for a few days occasionally. You can see the sea, go fishing, and it's fun to tease the executors."
[Helena] kicked the commander across from her lightly under the table in annoyance, becoming increasingly jealous. "That's great. There's a base where my sister can go on vacation..."
The little commander sighed, "Ah... let's get down to business. According to you, not only do I have to become stronger, but I also have to have a greater say in the human community. Isn't this difficult to do?"
Enterprise nodded. "This is so that when we face a crisis in the future, someone can step up and take charge. After all, as it stands now, the human beings in this world are just like those in other worlds, still a loose group of people."
[Helena] added: "Although [Disturbance] is still a long way from here, considering that this world has become special, we have to treat it as the last line of defense."
"Do you mean the irreversible and normal flow of time?" Su Xin asked.
Seeing several people nodding, she roughly guessed that it was the effect of the [Virtual Port Area], or that she should have noticed something special since she broke the rules and participated in [Helena's] past.
"Your existence may be truly unique." [Enterprise] flipped out the metal piece, "In countless worlds, no one has ever been able to contain [META energy]. This is incredible."
Su Xin subconsciously curled up her five fingers. The weight of this sentence was much heavier than she had imagined.
"...Then what should I do?" She asked softly, with a little uneasiness in her tone, "What should I do to become the person you want me to be?"
Helena looked complicated when she heard that. She leaned forward and grasped the little commander's cold hand. "Sister... it's just a safety measure. There's no need to be so stressed. We still have a lot of time. Just take it slow..."
..9
"........."
"Actually." The Purifier, who had been slacking off for a long time, suddenly spoke up, breaking the solemn atmosphere, "I think we [Sirens] can help."
Su Xin blinked and looked over with half doubt and half expectation, which made Da Yan Meng feel very accomplished and continued to explain:
"Think about it, in this world, our reputation is bigger than yours [Ember]. After all, on the surface, we are the public enemy of mankind, but in private, we have "cooperation" with the top leaders..."
"Well, I don't even want to call it 'cooperation'. After all, it is essentially a 'charity' from the Sirens to humans in exchange for the promise that 'humans will not push the safety line during the activity'. In my opinion, it's a joke."
"Since I am the partner holding the initiative, I naturally have the capital to violate the agreement. It is reasonable for the 'notorious' Siren to suddenly go back on his word, right?"
The Purifier crossed his arms and groaned, "Then you can act out the scene where the Siren regrets her decision but Commander Su sells out his favor to save the cooperation, and your status will naturally rise."
"...But I can't attend your cooperation meeting, right?" The little commander thought about it and suddenly understood, "Oh... So what I have to do now is to quickly improve my merits and reputation?"
The Purifier snapped her fingers, but there was no sound. However, this did not stop her from making a cute expression of "You know a lot".
"Bingo~ The nearest opportunity is the summer event. You guys should work hard and get more merits. It would be best if you can take the top spot on the list. That way you can prove your strength."
"As for me... I will just be responsible for building more Siren ships to give them to you~ Oh, by the way, do you have to personally go out to build the scientific research ship? You went out to sea a few times before, and the ship girl still gave way to you. It doesn't look like you are just sitting around doing nothing."
At this point, Su Xin really didn't need to hide anything anymore, so she nodded and said, "Indeed, it can be understood as brushing up the experience bar."
Purifier: "Oh? It's quite humane. It doesn't require the shipgirls in the same camp and position to spend time to brush it."
Su Xin: "...Actually, there was a request."
"Well, there's still about half a month left, so you should build more Ship Girls during this time." The Purifier clapped his hands to end the four-person meeting, "After all, there is strength in numbers, so it won't be so surprising to win the championship then."
"...Ah, another major construction?" The lucky little commander frowned, "...Well, the dormitories in the port area should be enough for us, right...?"
