Air Field, Azur Lane Base
8:00 AM
Enterprise-80 is currently looking at a boxy contraption that resembles a generator to power any various equipment at the US Military barracks. But the resemblance ends there as some boxy opening that screams sci-fi.
"So this is the Shield Generator?" She asked in contemplation, as she was wronged by her own imagination of such device.
"Yeah, I know... I know. It's not fancy like in your typical Sci-Fi Shield Generator. But I value functionality over aesthetics." William said, as he gentle taps the metal cover on the Shield Generator.
"As long as it works, it doesn't matter how it looks." Bunker Hill-76 said straight to the point.
"Enough with that chit-chat. Let's see this thing in action." Enterprise-80 said with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
"Put-on your safety goggles were about to see some magic." William said, as he put-on a safety goggles. The others in the area did the same.
"Hit it boys!"
William shouted, as Manjuus with lab coat starts fiddling with the computers at the control area. The other Manjuus with Hard-Hats and Safety Vest plugs various connectors and pulled the levers that connect at the various Generators.
The Prototype Shield Generator hums and starts to glow like RGB PC, as it slowly powering-up. Glass like object slowly materialized and form around the Prototype Shield Generator, as it glows steadily.
The glass like object slowly formed into hexagonal shape pattern, as the Manjuus stationed at the computer slowly adjusting the out-put power of the Prototype Shield Generator.
"Power out-put... 20%... 30%.... 40%...." an A.I. voice spoke at the speaker as it indicates the power out-put of the Prototype Shield Generator.
Adm. Nimitz and Adm. Philips along with their Secretary watches the whole field testing of the Prototype Shield Generator being conducted in an open field.
"Dr. William? If this prototype reached full operational, how many Shipgirls do you think will received this Shield Generator?" Adm. Philips ask, as he contemplated about the use of this in one of the Shipgirls.
"It depends."
Adm. Philips and everyone on the testing site look at him. "What do you mean, it depends'?" He asked.
William elaborates. "It depends of the Shipgirls electrical capacity and tonnage. Powering this machine used a lot of electricity, if we equipped it with a Shipgirl with a weak electric capacity the other electronics onboard will be left no electricity. Radar, Sonar and any Navigation instruments was crucial for Warship. If we remove one of those it will be useless for its crucial role."
"I see... what about the tonnage."
"Shipgirls below 10,000 and 8,000 tons will suffer instability issues with the sheer weight of this Shield Generator itself."
"Cruisers and Capital Ships are the only one fit for this upgrade." Adm. Nimitz said, as the images of the Shipgirls he wanted to equipped with this marvel of device.
"Don't forgot the electric capacity of the Ship." William remind them.
"Would that mean we can equip the whole Base with Force Field to protect the Base from any attack?" Cmdr. Thomas asked.
