On the evening of September 28, 1216, the volcanic island M101, which was covered with gunsmoke, showed a cyclone signal in the sky and began heavy rainfall. In the depths www.biquge.info of the ocean, more than half of the 365 days a year are covered by such bad weather.

The sea had long since returned to silence, and at about 8 o'clock, under the leadership of the escort fleet, batch after batch of big wrecked ships were brought back to position No. 1. In addition to this, there was respite, and on both sides of the coast, positions 2 and 3 were being rebuilt, and the coverage of the NTRS system, which had originally covered only a small area, continued to expand until it was finally connected.

Although it paid a heavy price, the First Army, as the vanguard force, still had to fulfill its mission.

Su Yun had already said goodbye to the girl who asked him to help fulfill his wish, and the latter returned to the post of the supply station to welcome the busyness of the big shipbreaker after her return. Like countless passers-by in his life, he didn't even know the name of the retired shipwreck, but he still accepted a few photos of the other party as a thank you gift, which reflected the beautiful M101, or the volcanic island of Sibelnan.

It's a beautiful island.

At half past eight in the evening, he received a communication from Xingmei Yunqing, who asked him to go to the command room of Position 1.

When they came again, it was clear that order had been restored, and many of the soldiers around were eating their dinner, which had been delayed until this point. Although the combat rations were not very delicious, Su Yun still felt sincerely hungry, and only then did he remember that he had not eaten a drop of water since noon, but when he thought of the battle not long ago, he couldn't even raise his appetite.

It's a very contradictory feeling.

Suddenly, when he saw Xing Meiyunqing, the latter was looking at the chart sand table and frowning and thinking.

Xingmei Sao didn't have any extra opening words, and when Su Yun arrived, she asked him directly, "Morita Jun, after the previous battle, how do you feel about this set of ship clothes on your body?"

"Good. ”

"Well, I have a request for battle, and since I can't send the right man, I'm going to ask you for help. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"That's right, in this battle, the First Army sent a total of 118 ship mothers to participate in the battle, of which 91 were broken, and in the search and rescue operation just now, a total of 87 pieces of shield crystals were successfully retrieved, which means that there are still 4 ship mothers whose whereabouts are now unknown. The other three I have already sent the Qiuyue class to search for the missing sea, and the fourth I want you to come, of course, Morita-kun, your identity in the eighth detachment this time is mainly to observe, and you are not directly dispatched by me, if you feel inconvenient, you can completely refuse this request. ”

Su Yun was noncommittal, but a little surprised.

"Could they have been carried away by the depths?"

This surprise was not faked, but it suddenly occurred to him that since the ship's armor would form an extremely difficult to destroy shield crystals after triggering the Great Destruction Protection, the deep-sea warships could not be broken from the outside, but it did not mean that they would be helpless. For example, they can take it under the deep sea, and then use other means to crack it, or even capture the ship's mother.

But Xing Meiyun shook her head lightly.

"It's impossible. Shield crystals leave undispellable markers, and even if they do, we can find them, and even trace their nests. The deep sea is a learning creature that does not do anything that is not good for itself, and this sentence is not to praise them, because it is because of this lack of intelligence that they have traces to follow and are usually easy to master. ”

"Usually, that is to say, all the times when it is not usual?"

"Of course, this time, for example, is not a normal time, no one could have predicted that we would lose in a head-to-head confrontation, so that we could not guarantee the safety of the forward position. Xing Meiyun chuckled helplessly, "General Nagumo was too proud and careless, and his sense of security in the past did not make him realize how fatal the flaws exposed were, so he actually let the four positions expand at the same time and activate the NTRS system at the same time. He should be glad that he paid with his life for this, otherwise he would have been court-martial next and responsible for the more than a thousand crew members who died. ”

Su Yun nodded silently.

"Let's talk about my mission. ”

"The heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City of the 13th Detachment of the Second Army is Z3, 17.63, 21.56 in the Da Po sea area, and the last coordinates of the search and rescue signal are Z3, 16.21, 26.4, and the specific location has been marked on your electronic map. At present, it is speculated that it was carried by the ocean current to the deep sea, and the reason why it has not surfaced for a long time may be that it has been stuck under the reef, or it may be some other reason, in short, you can take the form of diving to investigate near the coordinate point, and after getting there, you will definitely be able to find the mark left by the shield crystal. ”

"Am I the only one?"

"If you don't want to alarm the deep sea. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

……

After leaving the m101 volcanic island with a heavy atmosphere, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the water, it was pitch black, and the wind and rain caused by the cyclone above had all disappeared, as if he was in a calm world without any human interference, which could make Su Yun calm down very easily.

The sea is immeasurable, after more than two hours of precipitation, the original debris and pollutants above and below the sea surface have all disappeared, they have sunk to a deeper seabed, or they have been washed away by the never-ending currents, all in all, Su Yun saw an empty and light sea water again. It's a pity that there are very few creatures here, especially because of the battle that broke out just now, and you can't even see anything that moves.

The coordinate point of the missing ship is located 11 nautical miles south-east of the M101 volcanic island, which is the edge of the area of the fierce battle not long ago, and according to the information from the sonar, Su Yun found that the surrounding terrain is somewhat complicated. There are many ravines and hills on the bottom of the sea, the deepest of which can reach 7,000 meters, which is bottomless, but the highest hills are almost close to the surface of the sea.

The depths of the ocean don't seem to be as dangerous as the legend says, and although the deep sea occupies the sea, they can't pollute every inch of land, and they can't turn every drop of seawater into pitch-black pollutants. Su Yun dived to a depth of 500 meters, kept silent at a speed of 20 knots, and came to the coordinates representing the mission target, and in the process, he did not encounter any deep-sea warships.

The terrain here is more complicated, and if the surrounding sea water is seen as air, Su Yun is now above a mountain range with high and low terrain. The seabed had been squeezed and deformed, forming countless folds and bulges, and through the deep water, he could even see flashes of light and bright heat from two kilometers away, as the volcano under the sea was erupting.

Su Yun stabilized his mind and began to search for the mark left by the Salt Lake City.

The so-called mark, in fact, is very simple, when the shield force field forms a high-density shield crystal, that is, after triggering the Great Break protection, these indestructible crystals will actually slowly peel off and decompose over time. The reason why they are time-sensitive, even if they are not destroyed from the inside, will automatically be lifted after a certain period of time is actually because of this principle.

The product of peeling is a high-density fine crystalline mass, and their density is so high that it settles extremely quickly to the bottom of the sea, rather than drifting away with the current. This creates a mark that is absolutely impossible to remove, and no matter where the broken crystalline body goes, it will always leave a trail on the bottom of the sea.

At the point where the satellite signal disappeared, Su Yun began to descend vertically, until he descended from 500 meters to 1,800 meters under the sea, and finally saw the sloping seabed like a mountain slope.

There were a lot of deep-sea creatures here, and since Su Yun was completely silent, and he hadn't even turned on the ship's searchlight, they seemed to be unaware of this strange thing from outside, and they were still swaying slowly. Su Yun opened the search machine for the shield crystals and began to investigate in four directions, and soon found a few fluorescent markers on the bottom of the sea in Heisei.

The markers were distributed in a line-like pattern, stretching into the distance, and Su Yun stood still at the bottom of the sea, bearing the tremendous water pressure as he walked step by step in the direction it was leading.

Passing through the not-so-dense deep-sea corals and the occasional deep-sea fish interspersed in between, Su Yun felt like he was walking on a very different hill, and before that, he had never been so distracted by the pressure of the deep-sea battleship to admire the scenery around him. This kind of stroll lasted for about ten minutes, Su Yun walked a long downhill road, and when the water depth went from 1,800 meters to 2,100 meters, he saw an undersea cliff blocking in front of him, and the mark left by the shield crystal of the Salt Lake City also ended there.

Su Yun looked up, and the cliff wall was uneven, and there seemed to be many cracks. Maybe it's really as Xing Meiyun said lightly, that the big shipwreck girl who couldn't move freely in the shield crystals was washed down by the underwater undercurrent, and then got stuck in some cave or crevice that didn't see the light of day, so she couldn't be found on the surface of the water for a long time.

You must know that at this depth of underwater, even low-frequency electromagnetic waves specialized in underwater communication are extremely difficult to convey to the surface of the water.

Su Yun turned on the ship's radar again, and enabled the search for the deep-sea core, the range of this search will be slightly reduced underwater, only a few hundred meters, and it is almost the most advanced model. Those who are not very advanced, such as the Zao that I used before this, only have an underwater exploration range of just over 100 meters, and they suffered a lot of losses in the first place.

The deep-sea radar also worked for the ship's mother with the ship's core, everything went smoothly, and Su Yun soon saw a faint light behind the rock wall above the side. He began to maneuver, searched carefully along the cliff, and after about 100 meters of ascent, he finally saw a knife-like opening, and looked down through the gap inside, indicating that the light of the target was already close in front of him.

Sure enough, it was stuck in the gap......

Su Yun sent a communication request to the other party.

The request was immediately connected.

"Hey, you're finally here, I seem to be stuck somewhere?"

The other party is a big voice with an exotic accent.

"That's right, we're at the bottom of the ocean now, so we'll get you out. ”

"Ahh

"That's not the point, I found you and started leashing. ”

Su Yun probed into the crack in the cliff, wrapped the entire oval shield crystal with the shield force field, and then with just a slight pull, the Salt Lake City was successfully rescued.

"Thanks, I hope you guys are enough. ”

What does this mean?

And this kind of Sakurajima language mixed with English sounds really awkward!

“…… I just sensed traces of a deep-sea battleship around me, didn't you see it when you came here?"

When Su Yun heard this, he quickly raised his vigilance, and swept in all directions again, but he didn't find any bright spots that represented the core of the deep sea, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Salt Lake City inside the shield crystal, "Is there such a thing?!"

"Ofcourse, my shipboard radar shows it very clearly, about ten minutes ago there was a group of deep-sea warships, 100 meters away in the direction you came, I don't know if they have spotted me. ”

"Quantity?"

"It's more than thirty. ”

"Can you tell the model number?"

"Based on the brightness, it should be a level above cruisers. ”

Su Yun pondered for a moment, but decided to return to the sea first.

His instincts didn't tell him of the danger.

"Cruiser level or above, it seems that we need to be careful, now we start to be silent, deep-sea warships are very sensitive to underwater sounds, we slowly float to the surface, and then contact the main station to be safe." ”

"Alright then, becareful, boy!"

Change your accent!

Next, Su Yun dragged the Salt Lake City, which was wrapped in a shield force field, out of the crack, but just as he was about to sail up, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly looked into the depths of the crack behind him.

The rocks here......

It's a little familiar, have you seen something similar somewhere?

Su Yun followed his memory and quickly found the answer.

At the bottom of the sea southwest of the Yeyuan Peninsula, Su Yun was forced to dive into the trench in order to avoid the group of deep-sea submarines that suddenly came out, and the rocks there were exactly the same as here. After receiving the unreserved memory sharing of the Deep Sea Mother, he learned about all the structures of the main deep sea nest, and naturally also learned about the changes in the outer rocks.

Although there is no difference on the surface, they have already been corroded inside.

This corrosion is not a visible corrosion known as a contaminant, but rather a layer of hard, non-nutritious stone that has already been penetrated by cocoons that are several times thinner than the tip of a hair. These rocks appear to be impregnable and unanomalous on the surface, but in reality, they have formed a vast network of networks that act as tree trunks for the main nest of the deep sea......

Su Yun used his powerful eyesight to scan the surface of the rock, and sure enough, he saw familiar tiny pores.

Interesting. (To be continued.) )
