Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1421 Experimentation and Production Adjustment

Because the morning's work took a long time, when Yang Sikang arrived at the development dock, the place was already busy.

He first routinely checked the progress of all projects that required his personal attention, and then came to the others to carry out the final inspection and verification of the new ship equipment before actual installation inspection.

"Commander, I have completed the inspection here."

"Same here."

The parts of Ingraham and Yubari were finished one after another, and Yang Sikang nodded:

"There's no problem on my end. Then we can wait for the actual installation test."

Yang Sikang exhaled, and Ingraham came forward and asked:

"Commander, why don't you make more ship equipment? With our current production efficiency, we can produce more samples for more comprehensive testing before the Northern Alliance arrives."

"That's true in terms of collecting data feedback and tweaking and optimizing the technology, but I don't plan to do that."

Yang Sikang shook his head and said:

"But it doesn't make sense for us to produce so many samples, and limiting the number can avoid some unexpected situations."

Yang Sikang thought for a moment and said:

"Don't forget, the next ones coming here are the shipgirls from the Northern Alliance."

The Northern Alliance's ship girls have a bit too much adventurous spirit. If they have extra test samples lying idle, Yang Sikang feels that they will most likely ask to give them those idle ones to try.

However, the ship equipment he made now did not take into account polar adaptability, and the feasibility of long-term operation in such low-temperature waters was not considered at all.

The harsher the environment, the higher the reliability requirements for the equipment. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice some accuracy in exchange for greater reliability.

This also results in the Northern Alliance's ship girls using conventional equipment in a simpler and more crude way.

Rather than waiting for these problems to occur, it is better to solve the problem directly from the root now.

As for what to do then, isn't that what Lingmin needs to do? With professionals joining in, it will be more reliable to make adjustments than for him and Ingraham and others to figure it out on their own, right?

Yang Sikang explained it again, and Ingraham thought about it and nodded:

"I see. What you said makes sense. Then the next production will have to wait until the Northern Alliance fleet arrives, right? In other words, the production equipment will be idle during this period..."

Ingraham pushed up his spectacles and said:

"Commander, can I use the production equipment?"

"of course can."

Although he didn't know what Ingraham was going to do, Yang Sikang agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you very much... Ah, and Reno asked me to help her modify her toys these days. I think some of the designs can be applied to your weapons."

Yang Sikang took out a pistol and handed it over.

"Is one handful enough?"

"No problem, just do a feasibility test."

Ingraham took it.

A group of blue barbarians carrying various materials ran past the laboratory entrance. Yang Sikang watched them leave. Ingraham said:

"It should be what Akashi's laboratory needs."

"Come to think of it, you and Yubari rarely use the barbarians for help?"

Yang Sikang suddenly said, Ingraham looked at him unexpectedly and shook his head:

"No, I will still use them when necessary. Barbarians are really powerful. However, for normal experiments, this child is enough for me."

The 'child' that Ingraham was referring to was the little robot next to her.

This little guy is also part of her ship's outfit, but strictly speaking, this little robot was made by her herself.

Not only does she have one, but Alan Sumner and Cooper also have similar little robots.

Usually, this little guy basically acts as Ingraham's assistant. Yang Sikang has seen Ingraham letting it carry his tools several times.

"By the way, Commander, do you want to let the Barbarians handle the matter of emptying the previous underground laboratory and installing new equipment? These little guys are not very noticeable, and it is also very convenient to transport them. Most importantly, they are very efficient and there is no need to worry about confidentiality."

"sure."

"By the way, you don't plan to use the human experiment equipment over there again, right?"

Ingraham asked suddenly. Yang Sikang paused for a moment and looked at her with a smile:

"Of course not, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

“It just feels a little weird.”

"I have no complaints about the current situation. It is better not to use the equipment for human experiments if possible. But keeping them is not without other uses. The potion I made this time can be used as a medicine to preserve the samples."

"indeed."

Ingraham was not interested in talking about this matter. She was worried that Yang Sikang would use the equipment himself.

Although other people could not see it clearly, she, Yubari, Akashi and other experts who were familiar with various experimental equipment and regulatory requirements knew very well that the equipment had the function of self-starting and running.

This is actually not very rigorous for the experiment, because some parts that obviously should wait for manual inspection before continuing will also be operated automatically.

Unless, the operator himself is inside the machine and there is no one else to assist in controlling the operation process.

After the set of machines is taken away, she will go and check them carefully just in case!

Ingraham made up her mind silently and then returned to her laboratory to continue her other work.

Yubari was not in a hurry. As for the ship's equipment, Yang Sikang hoped that the improvement of the oxygen torpedo she made had made considerable progress. Some tests would be needed next, and she only had to wait until the results came out.

Yang Sikang left the development dock and came to the park, where he was attracted by a melodious singing voice.

Arriving at a small square in the park, Lexington was singing amidst the flowers, while Aurora, Glory and other ship girls were accompanying her with various musical instruments.

Yang Sikang did not go near, but waited until the song was over before he came out.

"As expected of Mrs. Lie, she sings beautifully even without the proper equipment."

Yang Sikang said with a smile, and Lexington shook his head:

"I was just singing normally, the ones who played the accompaniment were really outstanding. Thank you very much for your help."

Lexington was an idol after all, so he saluted to the others and then looked at Yang Sikang:

"Commander Yang has completed his work for the day?"

"Originally there wasn't much to do, but the Northern Union people are coming, so many things have to be rescheduled, so I have some free time. Why did Ms. Lexington suddenly want to sing? If you had told me in advance, I think there would have been a lot of audiences."

"You're too kind. I just thought about it on a whim. When I saw Miss Aurora and Miss Glory talking about music, we suddenly wanted to give it a try."

Lexington replied with a smile, and then they walked to the pavilion next to him. Lexington took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said:

"Besides, even if you're an idol, you can't just sing casually. Singing to different people requires different moods and preparations~"
