In order to facilitate the study of xenomorphs by the people of the Institute of Biology, Jiang Chen instructed Xu Lu to set up a xenophobia shelter outside the wall of Camp 27 to house captured test subjects, so as to facilitate researchers to carry out genetic modification and breeding experiments. As for the matter of the xenomorph capture, Jiang Chen handed it over to the Hunter Corps to do.

With the cooperation of Yunzhi-51 and power armor, it should not be difficult to capture other xenomorphs except for the difficulty of capturing xenos such as deathclaws.

All experiments are to be conducted outside the walls, and any escaped xenos are to be killed by the machine guns and cannons on the walls, thus avoiding uncontrollable events.

After explaining these things, Jiang Chen took the helicopter that arrived and returned to the fish bone base.

After returning to the base, Jiang Chen went to the warehouse by the way, and threw the T-3 power armor, mechanical exoskeleton, ripper rifle and other equipment into the storage space. After the storage space was reset, there was only one laser sword left in the entire 300 cubic meter space, and the emptiness really made people feel insecure.

The march into the city center will need to wait for a break before it can be carried out, whether it is the cluster rocket under development or the ammunition reserve in the base, after such a depletion, it will have to be replenished.

What's more, this Yajing all over the ground is still waiting for someone to pick up the corpse.

So, after Jiang Chen and Han Junhua discussed, they set the strategy action against the city center in mid-September.

The reproduction cycle of living organisms is not short, and after this washing, even if it is a month of rest. The number of xenos and zombies will not increase much.

Seeing that there was no place where he needed help, Jiang Chen returned to the present world.

The 20-day time limit is almost up. Now he can't wait to see the engineering robot in action. The mining matter will be solved as soon as possible, and the mining industry will start as soon as possible. Virtual helmets should also be put into production as soon as possible.

came out of the villa on Koro Island, went to the mobile phone business hall on the way, and while reapplying for a phone card, Jiang Chen casually bought a new mobile phone and brought it with him.

Although Yao Yao is helping him DIY a new mobile phone, after all, it is better to buy a mobile phone to transition before that. After all, in this information age, not having a mobile phone is as inconvenient as a primitive person.

After doing these troublesome things, Jiang Chen drove a speedboat to Coconut Island alone. As soon as he got close to the island, he realized from a distance that the dock built on the shore had been completed.

The main body of the building is a concrete wall, and the top is shaded by a tin shed. The interior is a "concave" sink. In terms of scale, compared to the dry docks that are hundreds of meters long, this small dock can only be described as pocket-sized.

However, although it is a little small, the structure of a dock is still very comprehensive. And if you need it in the future, you can expand it again, right?

Hauling the speedboat ashore, Jiang Chen first walked to the material storage point.

I saw that the two engineering robots were standing next to the in-situ material point and waiting, and after completing the construction task, they would automatically go into hibernation.

The building materials such as steel bars, anticorrosive cement and sand needed for construction have almost been consumed, and the construction explosives used to blow up the reef have almost been exhausted. The fuel rods used as batteries also consume 6 pcs. After recovering the remaining building materials into the storage space, Jiang Chen once again walked to the drone terminal placed in the jungle.

I saw that the honeycomb-shaped drone terminal stayed there very quietly, most of the drones were parked on the charging station and waited, and a few were cruising on the beach outside the jungle.

Connect the data cable directly to the EP. After checking the drone's reconnaissance records and confirming that no one was approaching the island, Jiang Chen unplugged the data cable. Walk in the direction of the dock.

Pulling open the hatch, Jiang Chen saw the deep-sea submersible floating on the water.

The length, width and height are 9 meters, 3 meters and 4 meters respectively. Teardrop-shaped hull. The casing is smooth and flat.

The rear end is built into a "T" shape structure, and the water intakes at both ends continuously feed water into the engine for boosting. At the same time, the rear end nozzle sprays a high-pressure stream of water. The squeezing effect of the water pressure difference generated by the inclined shell at the tail and the water jet propulsion at the rear end can make the submersible surpass all submarines in the world in terms of speed.

The front end of the "water drop" is equipped with two pairs of robotic arms, which can be used for construction in deep-sea environments, and is an engineering module. The 8-meter-long cylinder hanging at the bottom is the mining module. These things have been assembled by the engineering robot and are ready to run when powered on.

The submersible consumes electricity, and the energy slot can be placed in a 100mm diameter nuclear fusion battery, but because there is no nuclear material, this droplet uses subcrystalline fuel rods.

The submersible is equipped with a device for reducing carbon dioxide by molten salt electrolysis, which can theoretically maintain the normal oxygen supply in the submersible as long as the electrical energy is sufficient.

Jumping to the top of the "water droplet" and feeling the swaying of the soles of his feet, Jiang Chen cautiously squatted down, and then groped for a device similar to a camera at the top.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"Launch. ”

"Iris verification passed, welcome, Captain. ”

A gap slowly cracked one meter in front of Jiang Chen, revealing a passage to the cabin.

Leaned over to take a look, and after confirming that it was safe, Jiang Chen jumped in.

"Transparent? no...... It should be some kind of imaging function. ”

After entering the cabin, Jiang Chen looked around in surprise.

It's hard to imagine that when viewed from the inside out, it looks like it's transparent.

Wide-angle imaging?

Multiple full-angle cameras hidden on the outside of the submersible are used to present images of the outside world on the screen material in the cabin. Standing in this submersible is like being inside a large transparent bubble.

After sighing at this spectacular scene, Jiang Chen passed through a narrow hatch, entered the cockpit directly, and sat in the captain's seat at the bow.

It is said that most of the parts of this submersible are made of 3D printing, and the cost is as high as half a million subcrystals. However, when he saw everything in this, Jiang Chen didn't feel that it was expensive at all.

"Ask the captain to name the submersible. The polite electronic speaker prompted Jiang Chen how to operate.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment before speaking.

"Water Drop No. 1. ”

Because the appearance is dripping with water, then call it a water drop.

"Okay, Waterdrop 1 is at your service, please follow the operation guide ......"

There are no complicated buttons, and with the help of rudimentary artificial intelligence, even one person can be competent in driving equipment that requires multiple people to complete. There are two joysticks in the captain's position, one for XY movement and one for Z-axis lifting. Next to it is a sluice gate and a series of status gauges.

In addition to manual operations, automatic operations can also be used. According to the map in the memory of the deep-sea submersible, the captain can give navigation instructions through the command tablet or voice.

After getting familiar with the operation, Jiang Chen immediately used the tablet to give the order to go to sea.

Hearing the slightest sound of water behind him, the entire submersible sped out towards the vast sea outside the dock. I have to say, it's a lot more interesting than a speedboat or something. One wave after another, although it hit the shell of the "water droplet", but because the bulkhead is "transparent", the waves look like they hit people.

It's like surfing.

Looking at the waves flying around, Jiang Chen ordered again.

"Dive, 100 meters. ”

"Roger. ”

As soon as the electronic sound sounded, the water droplets sinked sharply. It's like dipping your head in water, and the sound of the waves around you disappears instantly.

Jiang Chen paid attention to the meter at hand, the symbol indicating the depth continued to beat, and finally stopped at a position of 100 meters.

Taking a deep breath and holding back the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen set the coordinates of the offshore mining platform of Future Man Mining on the tablet, and typed in the parameters of [Depth: 7000 meters].

Then, he took a deep breath, a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Water Drop No. 1, set sail!"

"Yes, Captain. ”

Towards the deep blue seabed, the water droplets galloped away. (To be continued.) )
