Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1224 Emergency Research

Being caught red-handed by the ship girls in the cave, Yang Sikang had no room for excuses and wisely told them the whole story, including the white cocoon, without reservation.

Although he had cleverly tried to divert the attention of the ship girls to the cocoon of unknown origin and obviously unusual, the result was contrary to his expectations.

Except for a few adventure fans like Bristol, all the other ship girls focused their attention on Yang Sikang's behavior of secretly taking equipment to investigate alone after discovering the abnormality, and continued to criticize him until dawn.

Yang Sikang himself knew that it was not the ship girls’ fault for making a fuss about this matter. It was mainly because he put himself in a very dangerous situation at the time.

After all, the explosion was over and one of the suspected causes of energy was found. It was in a dangerous area that could collapse at any time. If something went wrong and Yang Sikang was buried underneath, a normal person would definitely die.

Although Yang Sikang believed that his physique was far from that of a normal person, if he was really buried in such an environment, he would have no choice but to save himself and wait for the rescue of the ship girls, so he could only endure the criticism.

It was not until the next day when Yang Sikang woke up and was about to go over to take another look at the situation, but he found that the ship girls had re-supported that area and dug the small hole into a proper passage.

"Commander, you woke up so soon?"

Allen Sumner came out holding a flat stone, and smiled when he saw Yang Sikang:

"But you're late. The exploration inside has ended. We are now preparing to move the stones inside to a temporary laboratory for research. Akashi and Yubari are in the laboratory. If you want to find it, it's better to go there."

"Ok."

Yang Sikang nodded helplessly and turned back to the hotel.

The temporary laboratory was in one of the hotel's original cold storages. With the folding technology, Yang Sikang and his team could travel back and forth easily, so there was no need to store a lot of food here. Therefore, the vacant cold storage was naturally converted into a temporary laboratory.

When Yang Sikang arrived here, most of the laboratory was occupied by piled stones, and several machines were running in an orderly manner. Judging from the data feedback, they obviously also used Bai Ze's computing power to assist by developing equipment in the dock.

Seeing Yang Sikang coming, several ship girls looked at each other, and then Ingraham stood up and walked over.

"Commander, although we haven't found anything about the cocoon you mentioned, we do have some clues about the energy you speculated about."

Ingraham brought Yang Sikang to an idle computer. Bai Ze quickly retrieved the required information, and then Ingraham displayed the results of the past few hours.

"This is roughly the energy reaction we have discovered so far. It is indeed very hidden, and it is difficult to detect if you are a little far away, but it does exist. It is strange that this energy itself is very stable. Although we have discovered it, no matter how we try, we cannot make it change."

Ingraham scratched his head in distress as he spoke:

"But according to Bai Ze's calculations, this energy should be the culprit that reacted with the special explosive and caused the additional explosion. It's just that we haven't figured out which part it reacted with."

This is the part that Ingraham and his companions are having a headache about.

Yang Sikang accurately found the source of energy. Although the cocoon at the source disappeared without a trace, a considerable amount of energy still remained on the stone that had been in close contact with the cocoon. It was because of this that they were able to successfully discover the existence of that special energy.

However, the amount of this stuff is too small, and it dilutes very quickly, and its stability is higher than expected.

The special explosive made by Yang Sikang has many components. It is definitely not enough to rely on this alone to figure out which part caused the reaction.

That's why they asked others to help recover the stones in the cave and collect as much energy as possible that has not been diluted so that they can continue the experiment.

Yang Sikang looked at the data carefully, and his expression became much more subtle.

"Ingraham, have you ever considered a problem? There was a short interval between the secondary explosion and the explosion we detonated. The cause of this energy losing stability and exploding may not be the bomb itself, but a mixture of certain substances produced after the explosion and this energy."

Yang Sikang said directly without even raising his head:

"Bai Ze, analyze the types of derivatives produced by the explosion of explosives and use the exhaustive method to deduce them directly."

Not only Ingraham, but Akashi and Yubari also turned their heads to look over.

The exhaustive method is not a good solution. Although in theory, as long as the computing power is strong enough, the exhaustive method is a universal solution, this is only in theory.

However, Yang Sikang was very clear that the derivatives produced by the explosion of the bomb he made were limited, and a large part of them were things that could not be detonated. Although it was said to be an exhaustive list, in fact, to reach the intensity that could produce a subsequent strong explosion, this itself was an extremely strong screening condition.

Sure enough, it only took Bai Ze a few minutes to list several different possibilities.

"Okay, then what's left is..."

Yang Sikang grinned and was about to go on stage and find the root cause himself when Ingraham held him down.

"Okay, leave the rest to us, Commander, you can go now!"

Yang Sikang was ruthlessly driven out of the temporary laboratory, and then several maids including Curacao and Curlew came over to stop him.

Yang Sikang scratched his head helplessly, realizing that they were worried that he would secretly do something dangerous again, but there was nothing he could do, so he just left.

There were still many places on the bombed island that had not been cleaned up. Yang Sikang simply took advantage of the fact that there was nothing else to do and took Memphis around to mark out the damage in every place.

The progress in the laboratory did not produce any results, so Yang Sikang returned to his room, entered the marked information into the database, asked Bai Ze to project it, and then overlapped it with the complete drawings of the Marine Fisheries Research Institute obtained from Siren.

"Tsk, as expected, many of the places that were blown up need to be filled, but the part that needs to be dug deep here has not been blown up... Damn it, I should have buried it here earlier. But if I bury it here, it will directly touch the cocoon, which is also a troublesome thing."

Yang Sikang sighed, compared the two pictures, and found out the places that needed construction one by one, and then Memphis next to him was responsible for recording.

This process alone took several hours, and this was with the assistance of Bai Ze. After all, finding the differences was easy for Bai Ze to handle, but how to repair it was something Yang Sikang had to consider on his own.
