There was nothing to pay attention to when I returned home. I took the opportunity to go offline for a while. When I went online again, the fleet was already in the early morning of the second day, and the fleet had already entered China's territorial waters. Occasionally, some fleets of Chinese guilds could be seen in the surroundings, but the number was relatively small, and large troops would generally not stay in the sea. When you go out to cruise and decisive battles, you either simply overhaul in the port.
站在 I stood on the deck looking at the sea in the slight morning light, and suddenly a strangely shaped boat caught my attention. This is a four-hull ship, exactly a rectangular structure connected by four ships. The four ships supporting it were large and the superstructure was completely removed. The huge and wide deck had neither an island bridge nor a mast, and even no weapons. A ship of this size, without any weapons, must have other uses.
In the middle of the four ships I found the thing they carried. This is a large steel keel structure, shaped like the four hypotenuses of a pyramid, and its four feet just landed on four ships. At the convergence point of the center of the steel keel, there are some complicated structures, which look like gears and transmissions. The four black strings hanging down from that center went straight into the water, obviously there was something underwater. If you haven't guessed wrong, this should be a salvage vessel with a large tonnage. The four ships that support it all belong to 10,000-ton ships, and the four together are definitely 100,000 tons, maybe more than 200,000 tons. From the waterline point of view, these ships seem to be heavily loaded, the scales are invisible, and they are obviously overloaded. The demolition of the island bridge is to reduce the load. Therefore, these ships cannot be so deep in draught when transporting cargo. The only explanation is that the cantilever above them is the real load. What is so heavy in the water? After the buoyancy of the water, how much should there be more than 100,000 tons?
There are several warships parked on the sea near the salvage ship. The purpose of protecting this ship among them is obvious-not to let people approach. It's strange that such a strange fleet can go unnoticed.
警告 "Warning! There is a sign of fire readiness, a fleet-wide emergency." The horn on the Tyrant suddenly sounded, which was operated by the NPC in the observation room. This alert indicates that the opponent's warship has begun to reload the artillery and is aiming at us. The atmosphere of a Chinese fleet in China's territorial waters is so tense. It's not normal. They actually aimed at us flying the Chinese flag, obviously with a ghost in their hearts.
Many of the crew of the fleet were pirate NPCs of the year. This sudden situation responded very quickly. Other NPCs came from the Undead Army. How can they be regular troops? Although they were turned by the army, the quality was there. The alert was heard within 30 seconds after the alarm was issued. Several battleships of the Tyrant and the Eternity began to turn their turrets for firepower targeting, and automatic weapons were also prepared.
"Don't fire at first, maybe it's a misunderstanding." The first sentence I rushed to the bridge was to stop firing, maybe the other party was just overwhelmed by what important tasks they were doing.
"President, we will lose a lot without firing at such a short distance."
"Order the small warships to the right of the fleet, and put the large warships Tyrant and Eternity in front. I don't believe they can penetrate the armor plate of Tyrant."
"understood."
Our fleet began to change formation, and the large armored large warships all concentrated on the left side of the fleet to form a defensive line. In order to ensure that if the opponent fires, we can fight back immediately, and the speed of the fleet also starts to decrease, which is convenient for us to aim.
The fleet opposite us also began to change relative to our actions. All warships actively gathered here to confront us. The salvage ship was blocked behind and became the object of protection. This action made us even more nervous.
I held up the telescope and said, "Chuang Chuang, order to start the chameleon system." The so-called chameleon system is the optical stealth system from the black octopus family, but we have made some improvements, and the practical finished product is the chameleon system. Although it cannot be completely invisible, the battleship will become the transparent feeling of plexiglass, it is difficult to find without paying attention, and even if the two sides are close, this kind of thing can reduce the opponent's hit rate by 20%.
The other party was very surprised by our changes, but all they did was point their guns at us. The warships of the two sides confronted each other in this tense atmosphere, and our fleet approached them slowly until the critical point was reached and the distance gradually began to widen. Seeing that we were gradually away, the other side's weapons still did not relax their vigilance. Until we left the other side's fire range, they turned the muzzle away and restored the circular protective formation.
Wu Hongyue looked at the direction of the ships and said, "Don't you think there is something strange?"
Chuang Wang also nodded and said, "Yes. How can I see the Chinese fleet so nervous. Although players on the land are fighting fiercely, China's maritime forces have not experienced fleet-level combat so far. After all, the naval battle system is mainly external. Yes. But this fleet ... something wrong! "
Gao Linyue said: "It seems that we need to investigate. Unfortunately, I don't have much fighting power when I enter the water. Will you gather a few experts to explore the road?"
I stood up: "Don't you just tell me to say this?"
Wu Hongyue also stood up. "I will go with you."
"I haven't said if I should go!"
"Are you curious about strange things?"
"It's very curious."
Wang Chuangwang said immediately: "You go! Come back and help us and talk about it, otherwise everyone will raise it in their hearts."
"Okay! Hongyue, let's go. Chuang Wang takes over the command until the fleet arrives at the port."
"Okay, you go now!"
He and Red Moon came to the bilge of Tyrant and found a speedboat like Atlantis. I rode up first, and Hongyue replaced her own artifact set and went to the order suit of the meeting and followed it. She patted my helmet to indicate that she was ready to go. As soon as I pressed the switch, the speedboat stunned out.
As soon as I pulled the handle, the speedboat flew off the surface of the water, and then I pressed the bow of the boat in the air, and the speedboat tilted forward. This is a special water entry method for this type of speedboat. Small speedboats do not have a buoyancy control system. They can only use a hydrofoil similar to an airplane wing to control the depth.
钻 We drilled out of the ship's waterproof door and turned around to lean towards the strange warships. It is definitely not that easy for such a large sea to discover our speedboat, which is only two meters long, not to mention that we are still underwater. The waves on the sea are our best cover. The track of the speedboat is quickly washed away by the waves. No one wants to see us.
I soon approached the perimeter vigilant fleet and did not direct them to the center. When arriving at the four conjoined ships, Hongyue suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled it sharply. My hand moved the steering handle, and the speedboat almost flew out of the water.
"what are you doing?"
________________________________________
Wu Hongyue didn't speak but just pointed forward. I looked over to that line of defense, and there seemed to be something, it didn't look too small.
"Underwater observation cabinet, sold in the port, specially for non-combat players. But they seem to be using this thing as a sentry box for underwater checkpoints."
"Your eyes are sharp."
"It wasn't my sharp eyes, it was discovered by Xiao Ye."
"Night?"
"My magic pet, that night spirit king, don't you know? He is now high-level and can be with me. It is much more powerful than your phantom."
"I protest against your personal attacks." Phantom suddenly stretched out a white limb to shake desperately in protest.
I quickly pressed the phantom back. "What shall we do now?"
"Anyway, we want to see what they are fishing for, just go down. They can't connect that thing all the way to the bottom of the sea, right?"
"Say yes." The speedboat was launched again and swooped down.
The other side's reconnaissance post was only extended for more than 30 meters and then disappeared. We try to get closer to the center. It was clear to me before that instead of cables, but chains, under the huge hanger. Each ring of the giant chain is the size of a house door, and the steel used to make these rings is thicker than my waist. Bundling me and Hongyue is about the same thickness as these rebars.
It seems that the following things are not as heavy as I first thought, after all, these chains should have tens of thousands of tons. There are a total of four chains now, and they are not many apart from each other. This shows that there is still deep down, or that the thing itself is not big.
As we continued to shallow, a rectangular rectangular steel frame appeared in our sight. The four chains above are actually connected to the four corners of this steel frame. There are some gears and transmissions inside the steel frame, which also looks like a winch. Six chains from below the steel frame continued to extend downwards until they were completely surrounded by darkness.
"It's dark below, do you want to turn on the lights?" I asked Hongyue.
不用 "No. There is a dark night when I can get dark vision. You seem to be able to night vision too, then we still don't turn on the lights, so as not to expose the target."
"Well, let's continue to dive."
As the water depth increases, the surroundings become darker, but this does not affect our actions. According to the initial estimates, this is near the continental shelf, and the depth will not be too great, but what I didn't expect was that we found a sea trench down the chain. The map of "Zero" is modeled after reality, but the submarine map itself is not complete, and Long and Yuan cannot compare, so the marine landforms are almost all wrong. This trench here should not exist in reality, otherwise we should know.
The shackles kept going deep into the dark trench, and we had to follow the chains down. "Pay attention over there." Hongyue suddenly pulled my arm, and we performed another sharp stunt action again, and a giant monster rushed past us. Our mouths slamming together were only two or three meters away.
家伙 The guy turned around and rushed up when he didn't hit. I took a trick and the dragon girl rushed out of a water vortex in a dragon shape. After seeing the little dragon girl, the big guy rushed up without fear, but he just ran around in a mere meeting. The monster seems to be a fish, but it is very large and weird in shape, and deep-sea creatures are more strange. But the fish is a fish, after all, it's not a big thing, and it was run away with scars after a couple of hits.
Since that guy ran away, there were no monsters daring to approach us anymore. The little dragon girl always circled around us, and those monsters always followed and didn't approach. The types of creatures below are really scary, and many of the images you can only see in nightmares appear in this deep sea area. There is a double-headed belt fish, I don't know what it is, it just looks like a belt fish, and it has two heads. This guy originally intended to attack us, but when it approached, it was sucked in by something suddenly protruding from the edge of the cliff, and then it never appeared again. What a dangerous trench.
As the depth continued to increase, suddenly a large squid appeared in front, and the little dragon girl made a threatening gesture, but the thing still rushed up. The little dragon girl and the guy were tangled and tangled together. I wanted to help but didn't know how to get involved. Suddenly remembered that deep-sea animals were afraid of glare. "Red Moon, can you illuminate?"
Hongyue replied in surprise: "I am a dark mage?"
The meaning is obviously not, and Xiaochun cannot be summoned here! By the way, there are steel claws. Quickly pulled out the steel claws, and he swooped up as soon as he appeared. The squid had only sixteen tentacles, and more steel claws than it did. The tentacles of the two sides were tangled together and entangled with each other, but no one could move, but the little dragon girl was saved. The little dragon girl who had regained her liberty was very angry, and she glowed with green light. "Shenlong dissociation."
This is the first time I have seen a little dragon girl use a direct offensive spell. It was just a flash of green light, and one of the squid's tentacles fell inexplicably. The steel claws did not respond. Why did the opponent's tentacles suddenly break, but he could throw off the tentacles to attack the body easily, no matter how much.
It seems that the dissociation of the dragon girl has not ended, and the tentacles of the squid began to break one by one, and finally turned into a large bald scoop. Steel Claw immediately wrapped around this big guy with his tentacles, and just tore that guy up. Black ink splattered like a bomb, and nothing was visible around it.
When the ink spreads, there are only a few pieces of suspended meat and some predatory monsters left around. The energy in the deep sea is very valuable, and the waste is shameful.
Continue to go down and start to appear all kinds of large monsters, and they are getting bigger and bigger, as if the monsters on the sea floor will always be larger than the sea surface. But these deep-sea monsters are not as active as monsters in the middle waters, despite their large size. The big monsters here are basically floating at a very slow speed, and they feel like a magnificent ornamental fish, floating leisurely. But it turns out that these big guys are still very aggressive, but they never chase their prey, as soon as something floats into its attack range, they will be swallowed immediately.
Relative to the above, these big monsters are safer, as long as they are not close to them.
The shackles continued down and began to appear strange, and we actually found the light below. The area of light is not large, only about the area of a football field, and it is obvious that someone is there. Our side is dark, they can't see us, but we can see them clearly. These people are wearing a variety of armors, and they all seem to have airlock capabilities. Although it is not very difficult to dive into armor, it is by no means easy to get, let alone so much.
These people seem to be digging in the water ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Some people are hanging on the chain and hanging on something, it seems that this thing is still familiar.
"A battleship?" Hongyue recognized the thing first.
I looked carefully for a long time, this is indeed a battleship. But a large amount of metal precipitation has changed this thing beyond recognition. The corpses on the sea will quickly decay and refresh, and the sunken ship on the sea floor will be similar. Unless it is a shipwreck for missions, the system will quickly cover the sediment on the ship and refresh it. This appears to be a new battleship, not a mission vessel, which means that this guy has not sunk for a long time. The more I look at it, the more I feel like a Japanese ship. The bee-waist structure does not look like a Chinese design.
Suddenly remembered that when I came back from Japan last time, I encountered a strange Chinese fleet and asked us about the Japanese camouflage ship. Could it be this one? I feel that the location is similar, and the size and size of the ship also match. It is likely that this is the Japanese camouflage ship sunk by us last time. So why did these Chinese guilds salvage this Japanese ship?
"Look there." Hongyue pointed to the stern part.
The stern of the barge was blown up by our shells at the time, and this place is now a big hole. A lot of players here and there seem to be looking for something. But what can they find? With such a large tonnage boom, it took so much manpower and material resources, but not to salvage the entire ship. What could it be?
分析 Analyze according to the current situation. First of all, this thing must be heavy, otherwise it would not use such a large boom. Secondly, this thing is very important or very valuable, otherwise it would not be so troublesome to salvage. In the end, this thing came from China, and the Japanese needed it very much. The camouflage ship that day was not going to attack us but wanted to take this thing away. Wouldn't it be too simple to meet so many conditions? I have to see what is so important.
