Admiral of Hogwarts

"It always feels weird." Hermione said to Hugo while checking the magic circuits on several metal plates. "Such an advanced thing requires manual work to rub the core here."

"Actually, we have already tried to study the corresponding industrial production." Hugo explained to his sister while using alchemy to mix and cast several pieces of magic metal and magic crystal.

"But it is not a simple matter to research this kind of thing. Although the companion fairies are gradually getting into work, it will still take some time to manufacture such a machine."

"This means that we still have to do this kind of manual work for a while." Hermione said helplessly. In fact, they often took time to do this kind of work in school before, and then sent it to the ship girls through that sub-dimension. hands.

However, although this work is not only tiring but also very boring, both Hugo and Hermione are full of enthusiasm for this work because it is related to future interstellar travel.

"Don't worry, these companion fairies move very quickly. If there are no accidents, they will probably be able to handle it all by the end of our Christmas vacation." Hugo said with a shrug.

Because of the effect of magic, the entire base construction can be said to be changing at a rapid pace, so when Hugo and the others were busy for nearly two weeks preparing to go to the Far East to visit their parents, a new industrial engine production plant had already been built.

"What are those two ships for?" Just as she was about to return to Earth, Hermione on Mars One was attracted by two huge ships in the space dock in the distance.

The reason why it is said to be huge is because compared with the previous ships, the length of these two new ships is close to 500m, which has exceeded all ships on the earth, and the overall mass also exceeds 100 million tons.

"These are two new destroyers. They are the first batch of armed spaceships we built." Hugo said after looking at the two black ships outside the window.

These warships were built at the collective request of the ship girls. At least in their eyes, the entire system would be in danger without sufficient combat effectiveness.

For Hugo, he didn't think there would be any danger in the inner solar system, because if there was a real danger, it would have erupted long ago, instead of being as peaceful as it is now.

But for the ship girls, their nature as warships makes them skeptical about it, so naturally as long as they seize the opportunity, they will find ways to arm themselves as much as possible.

For example, the current destroyer can be regarded as the culmination of the technologies at hand of the ship girls. In addition to being equipped with a heavy energy cannon that penetrates the entire hull, it is also densely installed with a large number of secondary guns.

These secondary guns are a combination of electromagnetic guns and energy cannons. In addition, they are also equipped with a large number of missiles to intercept small targets that may exist.

"The things you see are only part of it. We also have 20 new megaton nuclear weapons inside that are laser ignited and have no residual radiation." said the Soviet Union, who was also returning to Earth.

"To be honest, compared with those artillery shells or missiles, this kind of big guy is really powerful. If we had these things back then, we wouldn't have been forced to retreat in Cuba."

"Actually, I think I am a pacifist." After hearing what the Soviet Union said, Hugo said to his sister with a helpless smile on his face. "It's just that sometimes we can't make peace."

"You're right. I think it's not a bad thing to take up arms to defend yourself." Hermione nodded at this time. After transforming into a ship girl, her current thinking has gradually become closer to that of those ship girls. .

Although she will not be as warlike as those real ship girls yet, she is now more inclined to choose offensive options when it comes to war.

"When will these spacecraft be put into use?" Hugo asked after taking a serious look at the spacecraft. "I mean being able to engage in combat missions normally."

"It will be fine for Christmas, but after that we may need about a month to fully test these two spaceships. After all, this is our first batch of space battleships, so it will take a long time to test." Admiral said the lion in the network.

"As a warship, a lot of new technologies have been added to this ship. For example, the biggest difference from civilian ships is that there are two jump engines installed on the ship."

"One of the two engines is for long-distance jumps, so in order to enhance jump distance, we can only sacrifice jump accuracy and jump preparation time."

"In other words, these large engines can jump a long distance at a time, but the charging preparation time is relatively long, and the jumping accuracy is not very satisfactory."

"The other small engine is just the opposite. The charging speed of this thing can even make it jump quickly on the battlefield, and the accuracy can be controlled to the centimeter level, but the distance of the jump is limited."

Obviously, the ship girls have used the double insurance power system arrangement on the military ship body on these military spacecraft. And now it seems that this equipment solution is not only suitable for warships on the sea, but also suitable for ships in the stars. warship.

Especially with magic, it can perfectly solve the contradiction between the maneuverability of ordinary naval ships and the size of the internal space of the hull, achieving a perfect balance.

Just like on the way here, Hugo and the others successfully returned to the Sky One base and used the sub-dimensional as a springboard to return to London, and then took an international flight to Baguio, a small city in the Philippines.

The reason for choosing this city is also very simple, that is, this city is a great city for travel, and the consumption level is not high.

It was a great time to spend time with my parents, not to mention that as a famous tourist attraction, there are all kinds of delicious and fun things.

If there is anything imperfect about this place, it would be that although the entire area is cool because it is located in a tropical mountainous area, there is still no snow.

"Christmas without snow is always a bit weird." After breakfast that day, Hermione sighed as she looked at the green trees and vast mountains outside.

"But no matter what, this vibrant scene looks very good, at least much better than the bare Mars."

"Don't worry, the future of Mars will also become so vibrant." Hugo said standing beside him. "Because we have now begun to cultivate a series of magical microorganisms and magical plants that are adapted to the Martian environment."

"Are you talking about the lichens planted near the base that look like a checkerboard?" Hermione thought for a moment and quickly remembered what Hugo was talking about. "It's really awesome to be able to plant it in the Martian environment."

"Uh-that thing should be called an experimental field." Hugo scratched his hair and said. "We've been able to screen out seven species of algae, lichens and mosses that are suitable for my new environment."

"But I think the total area of ​​​​the experimental field is only about five or six square meters. If it is so slow, when will it cover the entire Mars." Hermione asked the next question.

"It will take at least a few decades," Hugo said with a shrug, "but we should be able to see it."
