Chapter 1270 The Cheating Secretary

Outside Yang Sikang's office, Memphis, who had returned half an hour ago, was sitting on a stool next to Belfast, waiting here.

In fact, she was about to go in to report when she just came back, but Belfast stopped her and told her that the commander was working, so she did not go in.

But no matter what, the commander's work efficiency in the past would not be so high that it would take so long to complete, so Memphis became a little confused.

"Belfast, what on earth is the commander working on?"

"The master is designing a new ship."

Belfast replied briskly.

Memphis paused for a moment, then raised his head in surprise:

"You mean, designing new ships, not preparing to build them?"

Belfast smiled slightly:

"Yes, the master wants to create an improved version of the Gu Diao that can be mass-produced to a certain extent, so that it can be equipped for every team in our fleet that needs to act independently."

"Is it... an improved version of the Gu Diao?"

Memphis thought about it seriously and nodded:

"Indeed, in terms of functionality, the versatility of the Gu Diao is beyond imagination. But I have also read the information compiled by Shangri-La. The resources consumed in building the Gu Diao are even enough to build several aircraft carriers or powerful battleships.

However, the final product is just a ship that can be called a large destroyer. This is why the Gu Diao is very strong, but the commander did not make the Gu Diao when choosing to build a mass-produced ship, but chose the mass-produced version of Eldridge. "

Memphis's abilities as a secretary were unquestionable, and she quickly searched through her folders and soon found what she was looking for.

"According to recent statistics, even with the resources of our fleet, if we want to perfectly manufacture a Gu Diao with comparable performance, we can only build... three ships at most. If we want to maintain the current economic and material circulation, two ships are already the limit."

"Yes."

Belfast responded:

"So, the master is trying to figure out a way to do this."

"But designing a ship is not an easy task. Normally, it requires many people to brainstorm and spend a lot of time to achieve the desired result. And if you want to save costs, you must give up something..."

Memphis spoke quickly and helplessly:

"I know that the commander is very capable, but generally speaking, this kind of thing is not a workload that can be completed by one person. Even with Bai Ze's assistance, the most fundamental design aspects still need to be completed by the commander himself, but this part..."

Memphis did not expect the commander to complete all the troublesome tasks in one go, or to produce any interim results quickly.

On the contrary, in her opinion, the commander, who had been busy preparing for various matters and laying the foundation for others behind the scenes, should now consider taking a good rest and returning to normal work state, rather than immediately busying himself with a troublesome task that was obviously impossible to complete all at once.

Memphis couldn't help but frown at the thought of this.

Although Yang Sikang's work and rest schedule remained normal, Memphis obviously believed that he should have better rest quality under high-intensity work conditions. However, even though she suggested this several times, Yang Sikang did not make any substantial changes to his schedule.

Memphis believes that many things can be prioritized to make time for rest, but Yang Sikang will still complete them ahead of time every time.

For example, when Yixian and her friends went to Sakura Empire through the warp technology, as soon as they arrived, Yang Sikang had already started to promote various matters such as public opinion and publicity, even some things that did not require any preparation at all, such as directly adjusting the Gu Diao to combat status, preparing the warp system in advance, and being ready to go at any time.

Although in theory, Memphis understood what the commander was worried about, objectively speaking, she still felt that the commander was making a big deal out of nothing.

After all, even if Yixian Zhenhai and the others who had warped over there really encountered problems there, it was impossible for something to happen without any resistance in the adjacent areas of the Sakura Empire and the Eastern Huang camps. Besides, Yixian and the others' own combat effectiveness was not bad, so they would be able to deal with any situation in time and there was no need to make so many preparations in advance.

"It's no use, Memphis."

Belfast said:

"When the master is determined to do something, unless he has already accomplished a certain goal, nothing you say before that will be of any use. The master likes to prepare in advance, otherwise, he will be very uneasy."

Memphis sighed helplessly:

"I understand, but if you keep working at this intensity, your body will definitely have problems, right? Even with you taking care of it, even Taiho rarely bothers the commander these days. Instead, she only sends some fruits and other things. Isn't Taiho worried about it?"

Belfast certainly knew this too. In the past, whenever Taiho was free and not training with others, she would run to the commander. But once the commander was extremely busy, Taiho would suddenly disappear without a trace, and then always deliver some fruits, drinks and the like accurately when needed.

So in a sense, if you want to know how busy the commander is recently, just see whether Taihou spends more time going to the commander or spending more time in the training ground and exercise field.

"What are you two talking about? Am I that worrying?"

The door opened, and Yang Sikang walked out with a helpless look on his face. He handed the memory stick in his hand to Memphis and said:

"First of all, the design plan has been available for a long time. Strictly speaking, the Gu Diao is the improved version. All I have to do is take out the plan before the improvement and replace the functions with the new equipment we have now."

Memphis was not embarrassed when his discussion behind his back was exposed. He simply accepted the storage device and spoke with confidence.

"Okay, I'll send it to the development dock later. Since you've heard it, Commander, I'll be frank with you. Your recent work intensity is obviously not proportional to the amount of work we need to deal with now. You need to rest, Commander."

The expected objection did not appear. Yang Sikang nodded, but then said:

"I see. So, as a secretary, Ms. Memphis, it seems that you have been working longer hours than me during this period?"

After a slight pause, Memphis said decisively:

"I understand. Then for the next period of time, please leave work at the same time as me, Commander!"

Seeing Memphis's decisiveness, Yang Sikang thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't have anything to do right now. He also planned to take a break for a while, so he readily agreed:

"Okay, it's a deal."
