The sun had already set at one o'clock in the afternoon, indicating that the Arctic winter season was about to arrive.
"They are escaping. Should we continue to pursue them?”Funa still had ten Granite Missiles on her.
Brother Chennan shook his head. It was already late and winter was approaching. Even modern ship girls couldn't maintain their combat effectiveness in extreme environments. Who could withstand the temperature of-50 to-60 degrees?
The enemy had sunk two mainships and one light ship, and there were still three light ships left in the fleet. In fact, this lesson was enough. They definitely had to leave a few mainships for the enemy so that they could continue to produce and pay compensation.
The resource area that was very close to Guardian's Residence 233 actually belonged to this Japanese fleet. Since they had lost…
Then the resource area and the collector would have to be seized as compensation.
Winter was about to arrive, and Guardian's Residence 233 did not have any extra resources in reserve. However, Brother Chennan and Funa managed to harvest a portion of them by relying on the enemy's collectors. They managed to harvest 7,000 units of steel, oil, bombs, and aluminum.
"This collector produces 30,000 resources every month, but it will stop working after winter. We can only use it next year.”Brother Chennan looked at the platform with regret. If it weren't for the damn weather, she could have made a fortune.
Funa coughed, feeling a little cold. The nuclear reactor could not be activated, and the heating of the entire ship could not be turned to the maximum. She had to hurry back to the house...
The two of them brought the resources back to the house to avoid the cold. They slept very badly that night because the construction room could not withstand the low temperature outside. The internal temperature had also reached-30 degrees Celsius.
The next day's daylight was very short. With the arrival of winter, the sun gradually disappeared from the Arctic region, as if it was the end of the world.
It would definitely damage the hull of the ship if it kept enduring the low temperature. Brother Nan braved the wind and snow to go out and slightly modify the construction room, making a simple furnace and smoke exhaust.
As for the fuel, it was, of course, the pile of abandoned wood next to the dock. It was originally a high-quality wood used to repair the deck of the aircraft carrier, but now it could only be used to burn for warmth.
When he returned to the house after everything was done, Brother Nan was already frozen stiff. Outside, even if the heating of the hull was turned to the maximum, it could not withstand the cold. Because 055 was not designed for Arctic combat, she did not have the ability to withstand the cold of-50 to 60 degrees.
Although Funa was a Russian ship girl, it was impossible for her to continue fighting in such an environment. In addition, the nuclear reactor could not be activated, and her cold resistance was not as good as Chennan's…
As the wood began to burn, the temperature in the construction room rose. The two of them were almost next to the stove, barely able to feel a trace of warmth.
"This kind of terrible weather will continue for another half a year. Our resource reserves are completely insufficient.”Funa kept rubbing her hands and yawned as she spoke.
"Okay, I'll think of a way." Brother Nan said as he hugged his legs.
There was a limit to what could be burned in the Guardian's Residence. It would be exhausted in about a month. The remaining time required the two of them to operate the hull to provide heating. The consumption of steel bombs and aluminum was negligible, but the fuel was rapidly disappearing. They would not be able to last through the long winter.
In the current situation, the two of them did not have the mood or energy to play games. They could only surround the stove and stare at the fire to kill time.
Brother Chennan wanted to die at the thought that this kind of life would continue for another half a year.
"Cold, silence, and nothing to do. I'm used to it.”Funa looked a little down…
During the service life of the Kirov-class Peter the Great, only the first few years were more active. The rest of the time was spent in the cold port, and the average sailing time was no more than 20 days per year.
There were many main-force warships belonging to the Northern Fleet, including the Big Sister Kuznetsov, two Kirov sisters of the same model, one Glory, five Hyundai, and so on.
Among this large group of main-force warship ladies, only Glory and Modern could get better sailing missions because they consumed less energy and were more cost-effective.
Sister Ku was seriously ill because of her long-term drinking and smoking. Once the boiler was turned on, the black smoke could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away. Therefore, Sister Ku could not move much for more than ten years and often lay in the sanatorium.
Funa's two older sisters were even more miserable. They were left on the operating table and had no money to repair them…He had been left in a corner in the form of a dismembered body.
In comparison, Funa herself was lucky. Although she didn't have many opportunities to sail, she received the best care.
Now that she was in the other world, her life was still the same as usual. She hid in the harbor and didn't come out. She was used to it and didn't complain or be dissatisfied with the current situation. She was just a little depressed.
Brother Chennan was different. She was a new warship that had just been built not long ago. Her heart was full of yearning for the outside world. She hoped to sail the ocean and travel all over the world. If she stayed in the harbor every day, it would be the greatest torture.
A month later, Guardian's Residence No. 233 ran out of flammable items, and the temperature in the construction room returned to the cold.
Funa took out a missile from her ship. She could only burn this now, although it was a little dangerous...
"I'll go out and get some resources.”Brother Chennan stood up resolutely and walked out.
"What? You'll freeze to death in such cold weather. Don't go.”Funa pointed at the outside thermometer, which showed negative fifty-five degrees.
Brother Nan waved his hand to signal that he did not have to worry. He had a way.
——————————
On the frozen sea, a burning ship girl ran quickly. Brother Chennan ignited his own superstructures and used the temperature of the burning aluminum alloy to keep warm. Before that, she put all the ammunition into her Dimensional Pocket to prevent it from exploding.
As a giant ship weighing more than ten thousand tons, it would not die even if it was burned for dozens of minutes. It would just need a lot of resources to repair it.
Repairing the hull consumed steel and aluminum, and the Guardian's Residence did not lack steel and aluminum bombs. What they lacked the most in cold weather was fuel. No matter what resources they used to exchange for fuel, it was still profitable.
"It's not cold anymore, but it hurts a little.”Brother Chennan muttered to himself. This was the only way he could focus.
When burning oneself, one must pay attention to control it. If the flames touch the circuit or any instrument, they must be destroyed immediately. This was because the hull was easy to repair, and the cost of reequipping those instruments was astronomical...
Just as they were about to reach the resource area, Brother Chennan realized that the surface of the sea was not completely frozen. Instead, it had shattered into pieces of floating ice. It felt like... It was man-made.
The phased array radar quickly gave the answer. There were more than a dozen ship girls working around the resource collector. Brother Nan was instantly stunned. There were ship girls sailing in such cold weather? Could it be that they were also burning him?
