Chapter 441: Capture the Gem
The final result is still the same, the flagship of the sick tiger was sunk, as for whether the sick tiger was really killed on the flagship, Wang Xiaoming doesn't know.
As the flagship of the sick tiger was sunk, the sick tiger's subordinates no longer dared to have any thoughts of fighting, and scattered to flee with their lives.
After sinking and defeating the fleet of the sick tigers, Wang Xiaoming immediately ordered the Wyvern to turn around and pursue the second pirate fleet.
Wang Xiaoming's pursuit was very effective and fast, but unfortunately, the opponent's ships were still too many, and the direction was scattered, Wang Xiaoming could only deal with the main few large fleets, and the rest of the fleets did not have time to chase and kill.
Even so, with Wang Xiaoming's pursuit, the pirate coalition was still crippled, and less than half of the pirate ships that could come to Silvermoon Island were already available, and among the ships that arrived, there were a few large ships, and the rest were small boats.
Although Wang Xiaoming's fleet is not large in number and its strength is not strong, with the assistance of the fort on Yinyue Island, there is still no big problem for these remnants to be defeated.
After a day and a half of hard fighting, with the arrival of the Flying Dragon on which Wang Xiaoming was riding, this naval battle could be declared over.
The victorious side naturally belongs to Wang Xiaoming.
Just sank the fleet of the invading pirates, Wang Xiaoming was not satisfied with such a victory, and it was Wang Xiaoming's idea to pursue the victory.
After a day of rest, on the third day, Wang Xiaoming appeared with the fleet and hit the pirates' lair.
After ten days of continuous fighting, dozens of pirates' nests were eliminated by Wang Xiaoming, and the pirates in this area of the ocean were almost all wiped out by Wang Xiaoming, in a way, Wang Xiaoming is already the boss of this sea area.
Wang Xiaoming's power swelled dramatically. The Wyvern Pirates are also the region's premier pirate force.
After cleaning up the pirate forces, Wang Xiaoming continued to return to his studio to study materials, for Wang Xiaoming, it is meaningless to occupy more territory and population, only to get the gem on the bottom of the sea, so that he can return to the earth again, and wait until he can go back and forth to the earth, and want to rule this world, it is too easy.
Ye Pingxuan takes care of her daily life, and Du Wanqing manages the pirate affairs outside. Wang Xiaoming doesn't have to worry about the rest of the trivial matters, he just needs to concentrate on his own research.
In this state, Wang Xiaoming's research progress is very fast, and half a month later, the alloy he needs is completed, which can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea, and the submarine built from this can enter the deep sea to get the gem.
After the materials are studied, the design is not a problem, and the rest is to build.
In Wang Xiaoming's plan. He will build two ships, one for the mother ship and one for the submarine.
As for why not build submarines directly, it's also simple, because this world is not available to electricity. Then the submarine will not be able to move quickly, and it is better to rely on the mother ship for operation, so the mother ship must be needed.
This mothership is not simple, in Wang Xiaoming's planning. The mothership is a large steamship, which is supposed to be the first and largest in the world.
Although electricity is not available, the steam engine can be used. Wang Xiaoming has also done experiments, the steam engine can be used, and even the steam engine Wang Xiaoming has already made it.
Although the materials are solved and the technology is not a problem, it is still not easy to build the mothership and submarine designed by Wang Xiaoming, and it has taken half a year for the mothership and submarine to be built.
This mothership is not a big ship in modern times, but in this world of the Great Zhou, this mothership is an out-and-out super giant ship, and it is definitely a giant existence.
With such a mothership, it can run rampant on the sea.
After the mothership was built, Wang Xiaoming couldn't wait any longer, and after arranging things, Wang Xiaoming took the manpower to start the mothership and set off towards the predetermined location.
Wang Xiaoming didn't bother to think about the name of this mothership, and called it Shenlong directly.
Before, he was still riding the Wyvern, but now it is the Divine Dragon.
As an enhanced version of the steam-powered warship, the Shenlong sailed at a very fast speed, and according to Wang Xiaoming's own predictions, if nothing else, it would arrive at its destination in a month.
However, the wish is good, but the actual process is not so smooth.
Along the way, the Shenlong encountered too many things, pirate attacks, storms, lost routes, machine failures, etc., fortunately, these problems were overcome one by one, and finally after spending a month and a half, it reached the location calculated by Wang Xiaoming.
This situation is already very good, after all, it only took half a month more.
Once you arrive at your booked location, you start preparing for the test.
Although according to Wang Xiaoming's calculations, this submarine can safely reach the bottom of the sea, but no one knows whether it will work in fact.
The first time he put down the submarine, Wang Xiaoming naturally wouldn't let himself go in and take risks, he only needed to let one of his subordinates go.
Wang Xiaoming adheres to the principle of voluntariness, whoever wants to go, let whoever goes, but he didn't expect that there are still a lot of people who want to go, and Wang Xiaoming finally selected one of the strongest subordinates to perform this task.
Although the submarine is very safe, after going deep into such a large deep sea, there are some effects on the human body, and people who are stronger will naturally be better when they go to sea.
As for why these people are willing to participate, naturally it is not because they have high consciousness, but because the price offered by Wang Xiaoming makes them unable to refuse, the price offered by Wang Xiaoming, whether it is life or death, anyone who enters the submarine can get a reward of a thousand gold coins, and this reward is enough for them to work hard for it.
After the personnel enter the submarine, the submarine begins to be slowly released, and the submarine is hooked by an iron chain, and the other end of the chain is connected to the mothership, which can facilitate the mothership to lower the submarine and pull it up.
At the same time, it can also pass through the mothership, advance and retreat with the submarine.
There is a device for producing oxygen inside the submarine, so you don't have to worry about oxygen for a short time.
The speed of descent of the submarine is slower. And because the descent distance is relatively deep, it takes a long time, tossing back and forth for an hour, and the submarine finally returns to the mothership.
Although the submarine has not yet been opened for inspection, Wang Xiaoming was first relieved when he saw the appearance of the submarine.
Because although the submarine has traces of being squeezed, the entire surface of the submarine is not damaged, and on the surface, the inside of the submarine should still be safe.
However, the submarine has not yet been turned on, and I don't know what the situation inside is.
Soon, the submarine was opened. A sturdy young man came out of the submarine safely, and cheers rang out at the scene, and Wang Xiaoming also laughed relaxedly.
It can already be seen from this operation that the submarine is safe and he can get the gem.
However, Wang Xiaoming did not act rashly, but began to inspect the submarine in front of him, but after the inspection, Wang Xiaoming's brows furrowed.
The results of the examination were not very satisfactory.
The water pressure at the bottom of the sea was so great that the submarine was able to return safely. But the submarine also suffered a lot of damage, this time if you are lucky, you can come back safely, and if you are unlucky next time, the result will be difficult to say.
And this submarine was devastated by the pressure of the deep sea. It is best not to use it again until it has been thoroughly repaired to avoid accidents.
You know, in the deep-sea environment. It only takes a little accident, and the result is death, and it is too late to rescue. There is also no way to carry out a rescue.
So in this regard, Wang Xiaoming is very cautious and unwilling to take a little risk, and it is impossible for him to risk his own life.
After all, there is only one life, and it is worth cherishing.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming had already expected this situation, and there were maintenance tools and equipment on the mothership, and there were two spare submarines.
Wang Xiaoming built three submarines.
After all, Wang Xiaoming's submarines are all small submarines, and it is not troublesome to build, so three submarines were built at one time.
Now this is when three submarines come in handy.
This damaged submarine was pulled onto the mothership for repairs, and the second submarine was put down, and Wang Xiaoming personally entered the submarine.
Everything was ready, and the submarine was slowly lowered.
In order to combat water pressure, in the construction of submarines, the redundant parts of the submarine are removed, and there is no ability to float up and down and the ability to move forward, simply put, the submarine is not powered.
On the other hand, the submarine can also be seen as a large oval metal egg, with the occupants inside the metal egg.
Building such a submarine is also Wang Xiaoming's helpless move, because the water pressure in the deep sea is too great, and with the current scientific and technological means, such a submarine can only be built.
The submarine is slowly lowered by its own weight, and through the four openings in the submarine, you can see the surrounding sea conditions.
The four openings are equipped with high-strength crystals, which allow you to see the situation in the seawater without ensuring safety.
Wang Xiaoming glanced at the seawater, and then took out the golden scepter to sense the location of the gem with peace of mind.
Through the induction of the golden scepter, he was getting closer to the original gem at the bottom of the sea.
The submarine is still descending slowly, and the speed is not too fast, which is required by Wang Xiaoming, and it is easy to make mistakes when the speed is fast, so Wang Xiaoming asked them to slowly release the iron chain and let the submarine sink slowly.
As the submarine descends, the water pressure increases, and the body of the submarine begins to make all kinds of strange sounds, which are the sounds produced by the submarine because of the pressure of the seawater.
Inside the sealed submarine, hearing this sound, even Wang Xiaoming had a feeling of horror.
Fortunately, the submarine was always safe and sound.
About half an hour or so, the slowly sinking submarine hit the ground with a thud and then stopped sinking.
This is to the bottom of the sea.
Wang Xiaoming glanced outside, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, although in the dark, there were some stars, but that little bit of light was not enough to see the surrounding situation.
Wang Xiaoming retracted his gaze, first checked the situation of the submarine, the submarine is still quite good, Wang Xiaoming was relieved, and immediately focused on the golden scepter, if you want to find the gem, you can only rely on the golden scepter.
Soon, Wang Xiaoming sensed the location of the gem, which was about thirty meters away from his current location.
This distance was already very close, and Wang Xiaoming was a little excited.
As long as he gets this gem, he can use the power on the gem to return to Earth.
At a distance of thirty meters, if it is on land, Wang Xiaoming can reach it in the blink of an eye, but in the depths of the seabed, his submarine is such a cargo, and if he wants to advance thirty meters, it will be more troublesome.
Wang Xiaoming naturally had already arranged for this, he set up a small switch on the submarine, and when he knocked on this switch, the sound would be transmitted to the mothership through a wire rope, and after the mothership received the sound, it translated the sound into words, and then knew Wang Xiaoming's order.
Soon, Wang Xiaoming's order was passed to the mothership, and the mothership began to move, moving thirty meters to the southeast.
As the mothership moved, the submarine in the depths of the ocean slowly moved forward.
Closer, closer, Wang Xiaoming already felt that the gem was below.
On the one hand, Wang Xiaoming sensed the location of the gem, and on the other hand, operated a simple mechanical arm on the submarine to grasp the gem.
Naturally, this robotic arm does not have such a complicated function, and can only perform a simple grasp, but it is enough to grasp the gem.
Wang Xiaoming's luck is not bad, this gem is in the silt at the bottom of the sea, and the gem can be easily dug out by using a robotic arm.
After Wang Xiaoming's efforts, he finally grabbed the gem through the mechanical arm.
Wang Xiaoming was overjoyed and excited, the gem was finally in his hands, and he could finally return to Earth.
At this moment, there was a bang, and the submarine shook, and something was hitting the submarine.
Wang Xiaoming's face turned pale, and the first thing that came to his mind was that there was a monster on the bottom of the sea.
In the deep sea, it is too normal for any monster to exist, and the monster that can live in this environment is so powerful that it can be imagined. (To be continued......)
