Admiral of Hogwarts

"You're right, Admiral, that's why my sisters and I are building here. I believe we can build a better world than now."

After hearing Hugo declare that space is everyone's future, the lion nodded very seriously to express his agreement. For the ship girls, it is a great honor to be able to fulfill the admiral's instructions. So what Hugo said now was actually equivalent to praising the ship girls for their previous work, which naturally made these ship girls feel extremely happy.

After putting away his luggage, the first thing Hugo did was to go to the command center of the Mars base to learn about the specific construction status of the current Mars base. Unlike the moon base, which is set as a simple industrial hub, the Mars base is defined as a real interstellar colony, so the construction here is naturally a top priority.

In this huge project now, an important point of all construction is disguise and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, there are only a few ground facilities on several planet bases, and most of the facilities are underground facilities.

Compared with surface facilities, underground facilities have thick rock formations as cover, so both in terms of construction cost and concealment, they are much better than the surface facilities in many science fiction movies.

Of course, this low cost is based on the fact that wizards can dig caves quickly and easily. If it were an ordinary person, the current technology would still be cheaper to build surface facilities.

Although most people work and live underground, this does not mean that living in underground facilities will be a very bad thing. After using some simple magic, walking in the corridor feels no different from walking outside.

Just like the windows of the Ministry of Magic, after some magic of light and shadow coupled with a special ventilation structure, it is difficult for everyone to feel that they are tens or even hundreds of meters underground.

Of course, it’s not just the Phantom that everyone enjoys. The first batch of ecological domes built in the entire underground are six ecological domes whose combined area is equivalent to 60% of the underground base.

Those Chinese ship girls gave full play to their talents in farming and perfectly built an ecosystem for the Mars base, which also laid a solid foundation for subsequent construction.

"Whether it's water, food or oxygen. This base can now accommodate a total of 12000 people permanently. But now there are only 1800 people in the entire base." Lion said when Hugo looked at the data.

"Although the entire base can still operate normally with the help of intelligent constructs such as 1:10 humans and magic puppets or robots, the lack of personnel has always been a huge problem here."

"This is an overall problem and it is difficult to solve it in a short time." After hearing about the population problem, Hugo looked helpless. "You know, what we lack most now is people."

"When we select people, we always prefer to have a shortage rather than an overabundance, so it is almost impossible to grow the population quickly, otherwise it may cause a series of problems."

"Of course we understand this, so we hope to apply to cultivate a new race." Lion said seriously. "So we hope to be able to cultivate a companion goblin race."

Companion Fairy - Ah, I see. "After hearing what the lion said, Hugo remembered those little guys in the game who seemed to only have three heads and bodies.

"If I remember correctly, don't they exist now? I remember I saw them when you opened the ship's suit."

"Yes, but all the fairies now are just the accompanying fairies of each of our ship girls, and the fairies I want to summon now are independent individuals." Lion nodded and explained.

In fact, these creatures called companion fairies are a special kind of creatures that live in symbiosis with ship girls. Like ship girls, their bodies are the product of a mixture of inorganic materials and heroic spirit systems.

According to the lion, these three-headed creatures, which appear to be only half the size of a palm, can assist the ship girls in everything they do and are their best assistants.

However, except for some companion fairies who are born to live in the ship, the remaining fairies can be regarded as independent creatures. Although they accept the command of the admiral as completely as the ship girls, they are another kind of creature after all.

Therefore, for ship girls, if they want to summon these independent fairies, they must obtain permission from Hugo's admiral, otherwise they will not be able to perform these actions without permission.

"I know these fairies can help you a lot, so I am very willing to summon them, but why didn't you summon them before?" Hugo asked curiously.

"This is mainly because we cannot summon these cute little guys until the number of us in this world reaches a certain number." Lion explained.

"Only when the number of us ship girls reaches a certain number, can this world allow the fairy race to survive and reproduce in this world."

This is mainly because when Hugo and the others came to this world and gradually adapted to the rules of this world, the world was gradually changed by them.

For example, in addition to the race of ship girls, the current world can also accommodate a new race of companion fairies.

Compared to other people, these goblin races are obviously more suitable for life in outer space. After all, their consumption is far lower than other races, and in space, smaller consumption is a great advantage.

So on the second day after the approval, various facilities for the companion fairies began to be installed throughout the base.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people to manufacture these small-sized facilities, with the help of magic, Hugo and the others only spent one day making and installing those facilities.

"It seems that the little ones are quite popular." When walking in the corridor after dinner the next morning, Hermione looked at the little ones greeting each other in the special passage on the side of the passage. nodded.

Although these accompanying elves can understand what humans say, humans cannot understand their babbling. But in this thoroughly internationalized place, every human being has a pocket translator that he carries with him, so communication is not a problem.

"This is human nature. They will be very tolerant of things that look cute." Hugo said with a smile.

"In fact, these companion fairies look very cute if you ignore their size, and they can complement humans instead of competing with them, so humans will naturally accept them."

After roughly knowing the situation of the entire Mars base yesterday, Hugo, Hermione, and Veneto and Firefly who came together were all assigned tasks today. Now, Hugo and his sister are heading to the engine manufacturing factory.

Hyperspace flight and controllable nuclear fusion are some projects that sound very high-end, but now many of the core parts of these high-sounding technical equipment need to be made by hand.

Of course, this handiwork does not mean hitting with a hammer, but using technology that combines alchemy and shipgirl magic to create these products that combine technology and magic.
