21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 931 - 924: The Completed 6-Wheel Drive

Chapter 931 -924: The Completed 6-Wheel Drive

The four young ladies getting off the car were none other than the 6th Destroyer Squadron that had completed their modernization transformation.

After their modern upgrades in the United States, they couldn’t wait and hurried back without staying any longer.

For them, fresh from their upgrades and decked out in impressive new ship equipment, the first thing they wanted was to show off in front of Chen Yu. So instead of returning to the Necromantic Space, they went straight to the hospital after getting off the plane to see Chen Yu and flaunt their new equipment.

“Rai is number one! I must be the first to show the commander my new ship equipment!” Rai, brimming with energy, was even more lively and quicker after upgrading to a new power system. She sprinted through the hospital lobby, almost leaving Akatsuki behind.

But it wasn’t just Rai who upgraded to a new power system. The other three little ladies also switched their boilers and transmissions, upgrading to the most advanced full-electric propulsion, so they all burst into the elevator almost simultaneously. However, Rai was always full of vigor, running just a bit faster than her three sisters.

Soon the four young ladies arrived at Chen Yu’s office and knocked on his door.

“Come in,” Chen Yu looked up with some surprise, and seeing the four young ladies walk in, he couldn’t help but smile. “What brings you here? Have you completed the transformation in America?”

“Yes, commander! Lady Rai rushed back as soon as the transformation was done! After all, the fleet can’t do without Lady Rai!” Rai answered Chen Yu loudly, summoning her new ship equipment to show off to Chen Yu. “Commander, look! This is my new ship equipment! How do I look after the transformation?”

Seeing Rai’s newly summoned ship equipment, Chen Yu couldn’t help but exhibit an expression of surprise.

The original 6th Destroyer Squadron, built as destroyers by the Japanese Navy during World War II, was equipped with just torpedoes and naval guns. Rai used her anchor as a weapon, different from her other sisters.

However, post-transformation, Rai’s ship equipment had clearly changed. The old boiler smokestack on her back had transformed into a sleek, angular island-style ship equipment. It featured not only modern targeting systems and radar but also a long missile launcher connected to the island, resting on Rai’s right shoulder.

Rai’s left hand held a single-mounted naval gun; although it had one less barrel than the original, both its appearance and power were superior to the old one.

In addition, Rai had a close-in weapon system on her left shoulder, which made Rai appear more than twice as powerful as before the transformation.

As for Rai’s beloved anchor, it was now chained to her right side, balanced by the updated torpedo tubes on the left.

Looking at Rai’s new set of equipment, Chen Yu couldn’t help but show an appreciative expression, nodding and saying, “That’s a beautiful new set of ship equipment. I just wonder how powerful it is.”

“Let me tell you, commander, the new equipment’s capabilities are incredible! The new naval gun has a much longer range and is far more powerful than my previous gun!” Rai boasted proudly, raising her left hand’s naval gun in front of Chen Yu as if she were presenting a treasure.

However, Akatsuki quickly grabbed Rai and scolded her in dissatisfaction, “Rai, you can’t point your gun at the commander!”

She said as she pushed Rai’s raised gun barrel down, preventing her from pointing it at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn’t mind but just smiled, indicating it was okay. Then he turned to Akatsuki and asked, “Akatsuki, as the flagship of the 6th Destroyer Squadron, have you completed your transformation as well?”

“Report commander, the 6th Destroyer Squadron went to the United States for modern upgrades, and the mission is complete. The 6th Destroyer Squadron is now fully upgraded and ready for your orders!” Compared to Rai, Akatsuki appeared much more serious and even stood at attention, saluting Chen Yu before reporting loudly.

When the other three young ladies saw Akatsuki’s earnest task report, they quickly stood straight, lining up beside her. Even the mischievous Rai stood at her position obediently, yet she didn’t retract her new ship equipment, much like a little girl who just got a new dress and couldn’t help but show it off.

Listening to Akatsuki’s serious voice and seeing her earnest demeanor, Chen Yu’s smile grew softer. Out of the four children in the 6th Destroyer Squadron, each was adorable, but compared to the others, Akatsuki always played the role of a competent elder sister, making one subconsciously want to reward her more encouragingly.

So hearing Akatsuki’s earnest report, Chen Yu pretended to be serious, nodding affirmatively, “You all completed the task well, at ease!”

Upon hearing Chen Yu’s command, the four young ladies finally relaxed a bit, slightly easing up.

Chen Yu was undoubtedly delighted with the return of the four young ladies, but he still curiously asked, “Did your modern upgrade get completed this quickly? And what about Akagi and Kaga?”

“Report commander, since the four of us underwent our transformation simultaneously, our ship bodies and equipment were quickly upgraded. Akagi and Kaga are delayed as they need new decks and islands and are currently waiting for their aircraft to be equipped, so it will be a while before they return.” Akatsuki, answering Chen Yu’s query about Akagi and Kaga without hesitation, explained as the flagship of the 6th Destroyer Squadron.

Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Yu nodded in understanding. Converting WWII ships to modern vessels is almost like dismantling them to rebuild anew. Even if all ships worked simultaneously, completing four destroyers in a few months was the result of American shipyards working 24/7 at wartime efficiency under the dual supervision of Skull and Bones and the Freemasons.

The workload for aircraft carriers is even greater, requiring several years to launch under normal construction conditions. In some technically inadequate countries, they can’t even get carriers operational within ten to twenty years, so it was only normal that Akagi and Kaga didn’t return with the 6th Destroyer Squadron this time.

Summing things up, Chen Yu said to The children of the Sixth Destroyer Fleet, “You’ve worked hard; head back to the Minato Ward and rest for now. Soon you will have new missions, prepare well, as I will need your strength.”

Chen Yu’s words instantly excited the four young ladies, eager to showcase their power following the modern upgrades. They all joyfully replied, “Yes, commander!”
