Volume 1, First Pot of Gold, Chapter 720, Submarine Expedition Station

Next chapter

There is still more than half a month to go before the New Year, but at this moment, a layer of clouds is shrouded in the sky over Liuding Town.

The destroyer hovering in front of them made the survivors living on the deck of the Bohai feel a strong sense of unease. They have always maintained a certain superiority over the survivors on land, because there are no zombies, xenomorphs, marauders and mutants on the carrier, and they don't have to struggle to survive like the survivors on land.

Now, however, the situation seems to be reversed.

The threat from the sea made them feel a fear that they had never experienced before.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen fulfilled the mutual defense agreement, and NA sent troops!

The fortifications of Hengsha Island have been completed, and the "Fireball-1" rocket cluster system, 2,000 rockets, and Type 50 J-type electromagnetic guns have been deployed on the island. Under the leadership of Cheng Weiguo, a reinforced battalion of 1,000 people was stationed here.

The NA did not have a navy, not even a couple of ships. But it doesn't matter, NA has the best artillery in the whole of Pan-Asia. Just a few days ago, an overwhelming barrage of rockets covered Hengsha Island, and Army soldiers landed and wiped out two xenomorph dens.

The whole process is easier than sweeping the floor.

Perhaps because they saw the powerful force of the NA, the destroyers cruising near Wanghai City converged a lot.

At least when it comes to dialogue, they're not so averse.

……

On the shore of Hengsha Island, a spherical submersible surfaced. In appearance, this submersible is somewhat similar to the "Water Drop No. 1" that Jiang Chen got into the present world, except that the smooth cone behind it is missing.

Glancing at each other, the five soldiers crouching in the bunker stood up, set up their rifles and cautiously surrounded them. The hatch at the top of the submersible opened, and a man in a light blue coveralls stepped out, calmly raising his hands in the face of the muzzles of five black holes.

"I have no ill intentions, and I want to meet your leader. ”

"Are you the messenger of that destroyer?" asked the captain of the five soldiers, standing up and staring into the man's eyes.

"Yes. The man nodded.

The captain tilted his head and gave an order to the soldier next to him.

"You go and ask your superiors for instructions. ”

"Yes!"

When the news of the envoy sent by the destroyer was placed on Jiang Chen's desk, Jiang Chen immediately sent someone to take him to the fish bone base and met with the messenger.

Seeing his blue outfit, Jiang Chen thought at first that it was the costume of a submarine shelter, but finally took a closer look at the logo of the work unit, only to find that this was not the case.

[Moby Dick Submarine Exploration Station], judging from the name alone, seems to be a harmless organization for individuals and animals.

I just don't know why they have such a thing as a destroyer.

Wu Yue bowed his head to show respect after seeing Jiang Chen, and then stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Jiang Chen.

"In Shimokutake, the co-captain of the Seagull. ”

"Jiang Chen, Marshal of the Na Junta. Jiang Chen let go of his hand, looked into his eyes, and then asked, "I don't think anyone will have a good impression of the warship at the door of the house, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please explain your intentions." ”

"We are absolutely peaceful, you can rest assured. Wu Yue said sincerely.

"Really, then why didn't you come to greet us until now?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

It wasn't until Na made a big move on Hengsha Island that they sent an emissary. If you want to say that they fought with the idea of dialogue from the beginning, they didn't believe it if they killed Jiang Chen.

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Wu Yue sighed.

"Truth be told, even though I am personally against war, not everyone is peace-loving. There will be no real peace between giants and dwarves, only two giants on an equal footing will have the capital to negotiate...... I say that, can you understand what I mean?"

"Yes. Jiang Chen nodded, glanced at him with interest, and continued, "But your words surprised me, it seems that even if you stay at the bottom of the sea, you still haven't disconnected from this end of the world?"

"We are not living in complete isolation. Wu Yue spread his hand, "We are different from the Vault, when the doomsday nuclear war comes, we only have a month's supply. It took three months to save money, but eventually we had to figure out how to figure it out above sea level. ”

"Very good, it seems that you plan to trade with us?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "But I still have a question, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you to answer me, how did you manage to live in the deep sea without being attacked by the aliens in the ocean?"

Occasionally, there are aggressive xenomorphs such as mutant sharks or mutant killer whales, which may pose a threat to our production and life. Ten years ago, though, we developed sonar to repel schools of mutant fish, and those mutated creatures were terrifying, but they weren't much of a danger. ”

After a pause, Wu Yue looked at Jiang Chen.

"How's that? Interested in trading with us?"

"What do you need?" Jiang Chen asked.

"We need any resources—food, steel, or ore, and energy!" Wu Yue said.

Food may not be so urgent, seaweed is the best source of nutrients, and some fish with low variation can also be eaten. But energy is the basis of the storage of the submarine research station, without which they would not even be able to obtain the oxygen they need to survive.

Unfortunately, despite their large size, many of the sea behemoths do not have the subcrystals to match their danger. Compared to the ammunition wasted during hunting, the little subcrystals they get in exchange for are obviously beyond their means, so there are only two ways for them to obtain energy.

One is plunder, and the other is trade.

Hearing Wu Yue's words, Jiang Chen smiled.

"So, what can you give me?"

"It depends on what you need, we're good at underwater construction, undersea repairs, and we're able to escort your trading fleet. Wu Yue said.

Jiang Chen nodded.

The first two are useless, there are so many resources on land, and he has no plans to expand to the bottom of the sea for the time being. Escorting the trade fleet, the merchants of the Sixth Quarter would surely be welcome. Without the threat of large alien species in the deep seas, maritime trade would be far safer than trade on the road.

"Your mention is good, I can arrange for you to go and talk to the council in the sixth block, the merchants there should be very interested. ”

If the Beluga Expedition can really navigate the deep sea freely, then NA's caravans will be able to radiate to Southeast Asia, Japan and other regions through the sea and land, and spread their influence further afield. As long as the price is reasonable, working with them is definitely an option that outweighs the cons.

However, when it came to the deep sea, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.

After signing the trade agreement, Jiang Chen asked Wu Yue.

"Since you can go to the deep sea...... Can you tell me about the space elevator for the Pan-Asian cooperation?" )
