Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Little Flower of Vicissitudes

In the turbid waters, Wang Yue, who was carrying a scuba on his back, was like a flashlight on the night road, swimming slowly while sweeping the seabed below with the golden light of his right eye, and the projection of the red in the golden light moved above the mud and sand like a ghost.

In front of her, a tornado formed by a current of water kept moving forward with her movements, and within the influence of the tornado, what fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs, and even sandworms were all sucked out of their hiding places, and then disappeared into the tornado in an instant, but then they were thrown out one by one, and they hesitated blankly and went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

Thrown along with them, there are others of different sizes, but they are still monsters compared to their kind...

Uh, mantis shrimp!

Well, this is the upcoming Atlantis reinforcements, of course, Wang Yue can't make a common shrimp crawler on the dining table, the most ferocious thing in this thing is the trapper's tail mantis shrimp, ordinary shrimp crawlers have limited power, so if you want to build it, you must also make a passertail mantis shrimp, and now it's just collecting raw materials.

The red queen is like a filter, sucking out all the marine creatures within the golden light range, and then picking out all the mantis shrimp, according to the energy that the seawater can provide, making them into large or small giant mantis shrimp in batches, and then matching them with the control brain made by extracting other animal cell tissues, these mantis shrimp are like children who cross the road with their kindergarten aunts, honestly following Wang Yue's side, watching him continue to filter the seabed.

Fortunately, this place was originally the main mantis shrimp production area, after a morning of filtration, Wang Yue had already collected more than a dozen tons of raw materials, looking at the vast army of mantis shrimp behind him, this guy showed a very satisfied smile.

That's enough, a palm-sized sparrowtail mantis shrimp can smash a fish tank with a small fist, and a dozen tons is enough to penetrate the shell of an oil tanker.

Just then, a huge shadow appeared in the distant water.

Mr. Krabs has arrived.

Because it was necessary to avoid fishing boats, Wang Yue's filtration zone was on the channel cleared for it by the navy, so the two directly encountered each other.

Wang Yue put away the golden light, and then called the crab boss directly to him, climbed on its broad back and sat down, and then ordered the surrounding mantis shrimp army to swim under its stomach, or lie on its back like himself, just like an ancient general who commanded countless soldiers on a war horse, he waved his hand very chicly, and the crab boss surrounded by mantis shrimp immediately crawled in the direction of his dock.

"The target appears!" In the temporary headquarters of the border police station, an officer reported to Lin Ying with some excitement.

On the sonar screen, a distinct source of noise was constantly approaching the dock, and they didn't use active sonar for fear of annoying the Atlanteans, but the noise from Mr. Krabs crawling on the ocean floor was enough for passive sonar to detect.

"Keep watching." Lin Ying said expressionlessly.

She was also curious now about what Wang Yue wanted to do with this matter, if he asked His Excellency the Divine Beast to run and stab the four oil tankers to sink, it would not be allowed anyway.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Ying and the officers in the headquarters, Mr. Krabs finally climbed into Wang Yue's dock, and then the dock door slowly closed.

Half an hour later, a nearly twenty-meter-long, colorful super mantis shrimp was born in this dock, this real monster lying in the seawater, staring at each other vigilantly with two extremely colorful eyes and the crab boss who was close away, it was obvious that the enemy in the sea instinctively felt the threat from each other.

Of course, the pets' careful thinking boss Wang is not interested in caring, since this mantis shrimp is the main combat force, then it must be armed, especially in terms of protection, although its size is not small, but it does not have much advantage on the battlefield, and the carapace of this thing is not as strong as the crab boss, so it must be attached with additional armor.

But again you have to take care of its speed.

Don't think that the mantis shrimp doesn't look like a speed-type player, in fact, its swimming speed is extremely fast, it can be said that it is not inferior to any ordinary fish, this inconspicuous small animal is almost the darling of the ocean, the advantages of all marine life are integrated, speed, protection, attack ability are all available, eyesight is beyond the reach of human beings, eye color discrimination ability is the most of almost all creatures, that is, the size limit is not big, if it really grows into the current head, it is simply invincible in the sea.

The armor that Wang Yue attached to it must be light enough not to affect its speed, speed is very important in war, no matter how strong a warrior is, it is not as good as the survival rate of running away, as long as it runs faster than a torpedo is the best safety guarantee, as for the most important use of armor is to resist the impact of water pressure generated by explosion, so it must be hard, light, and strong.

Well, multi-layer carbon fiber fits that very well.

Boss Wang's side was piled up with coal as raw materials, and then the carbon fiber, which was enough to be used as a fighter shell, was stacked in front of him until it became a huge plate, and then it was picked up by Mr. Krabs and put in...

Put it on Xiaohua.

Wang Yue's name for his little monster was Xiaohua, and the colorful colors on its body were very much in line with the name.

When the carbon fiber plate was covered on Xiaohua's body, it began to divide into pieces under the action of golden light, and then clinged to every inch of its carapace, the original brilliant color immediately disappeared, and a majestic black giant beast appeared instantly.

After the protection is done, the next step is the transformation of the weapon.

The pair of big fists with a diameter of nearly one meter are indeed very powerful, as a test just now it smashed a large piece of Mr. Krabs's bone spear very lightly, but this is not enough to attack the tanker, it can at most smash a hole in the hull of the tanker, the shipbuilding steel is not armor steel, the toughness is enough to cope with its attack, so the ability of this pair of fists must be changed to piercing.

With a tungsten alloy hollow cone with a bottom diameter of one meter, this requirement can be met.

This cone does not need to be too long, two meters is enough, anyway, no matter how thick the hull of the tanker is, it is impossible to reach two meters, as for the problem that the hole is not big enough, this is very simple, just poke a few more, tungsten alloy against ordinary shipbuilding steel is basically no different from chopsticks poking tofu, even if it is hollow.

As for the problem of high density, because of the buoyancy of the hollow, it can also completely offset the burden caused by the weight on the florets.

The materials have already been prepared, and the manufacturing is also the simplest, for Boss Wang, this kind of metal crystal reorganization is just a blink of an eye, and it is enough to get two tungsten alloy cones and put them on Xiaohua's fist like the bone spear of Mr. Krabs, so ten minutes later, Xiaohua, who is fully armed, is already ready to go.

"Go, go and punish those sinners!" Boss Wang stood in front of it with a solemn face and said.

Then he took the little flower and gave himself a solemn military salute.

At the same time, he had a copy of his imitation of the Thistle Medal attached to the right side of its head's armor, and had made it rusty enough to make out the shape.

Since the Atlantean Empire is an ancient empire, of course it must have the appearance of an ancient empire, without a bit of complicated and intriguing history.

Just as Xiaohua turned around and was about to leave the dock with Mr. Krabs, Boss Wang felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply made a bunch of messy scratches on it, and then carved a faintly recognizable octagonal cross on the left side of its head.

Well, it's a mantis shrimp that once fought alongside the Medic Knights.

Whether it was in Jerusalem or Cyprus or Malta, Saladin or the Ottoman Turks is unknown, but this is a man who shed blood to defend the dignity and honor of Christendom...

Praying mantis shrimp.

Although its name is not seen in any history, the scarred octagonal cross that has been lost to the vicissitudes of time is enough to prove its past glory, like an ancient healer knight who has traveled through time and space, carrying its wounds from the war with the infidels in the background of blood and fire.

As for the Thistle Medal on its right, which dates from the 17th century and was awarded only to Scottish Englishmen, this is another story full of legends.

Wang Yue didn't know how much confusion his prank was about to cause to the world, and he said goodbye to his two pets like a king who saw off the expeditionary force.

After crawling eastward for more than a hundred kilometers, the crab boss drove south to the strait at full speed, while he returned to the Kingdom of Jin the same way, continuing to act as the ambassador of the Atlantean Empire to the Kingdom of Jin.

At the same time, the four Panamanian-flagged tankers were still slowly moving north along the coast of China at a speed of a little more than 10 knots, and the two Chinese Navy frigates accompanying them issued warnings of danger from time to time, but the latter ignored them on the grounds that they had already paid the deposit.

Now it can be said that the eyes of the whole world are focused on these four oil tankers, and everyone understands that this is a provocation by the US imperialism against China, and the old hegemon has already stood in the ring to beckon to this new challenger, whether the latter meets or evades will have a huge impact on the future of the world, and the governments of the two countries dare not blink their eyes.

If they can reach Inchon safely, then it means that Huaguo finally bowed his head in front of the US imperialists, and they should not have any other thoughts, just continue to follow the US imperialism wholeheartedly to be a loyal and good dog, but if Hua Guo finally shows its minions to intercept these four oil tankers, then it is best for them to clamp their tails and be people in front of Hua Guo in the future.

"Simple things make you complicated, now anyone who has a brain can understand that in the first island chain, we are the boss, we are the masters, we are what we say, even if the US imperialists have the heart, they don't have the energy to come to this acre and three points of land to compete with us, otherwise there is no need to make these four oil tankers play such a small trick that does not enter the stream, and it is more useful to get two aircraft carriers to sail into the strait than anything else, but now they no longer have this ability.

But you don't have this awareness, your ambition is always not adapted to your strength, maybe you have been a panda for too long, you almost forget what you are, you are a dragon, a feared dragon, not a pet who sells cuteness for a living. Wang Yue sat in the temporary headquarters, his feet on the table, and motioned for Tian Zihan to feed him grapes in his mouth as he spoke.

He is the commander-in-chief of this operation, and there are currently two satellites, a large AWACS aircraft, two frigates and a special brigade under his command, which can be regarded as a strategic plan, of course, there is a mantis shrimp that is rushing to reinforcements underwater, which no one knows for the time being.

"It's a good thing that people like you don't live in troubled times, if you live in troubled times, you are guaranteed to be a war maniac like a mustache." Tian Zihan said angrily while feeding him grapes.

"Uh, how do you know that the mustache is my idol?" Boss Wang said in amazement.

"Don't talk nonsense there, they've entered the strait, what do you want to do next?" Lin Ying said as he looked at the gradually moving points of light on the big screen.

"What's next? Next up is the protest! Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Chief, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called, and the ambassador of the Atlantis Empire to the country of Jinguo officially protested to our ambassador to the country of Jin, and claimed that they would never allow these four oil tankers to sail out of the strait, and if we did not intercept them immediately, then they would sink them in the strait." Immediately afterwards, an officer reported to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying looked at Wang Yue, who was doing nothing.

"See what I'm doing? Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of course, is going to refuse, because they have the right of innocent communication in accordance with the International Convention on the Sea, and they are now in our territorial waters, and any entry by foreign armed personnel would be considered aggression.

Ah, but we didn't recognize the Atlantean Empire, so the definition of foreign countries can't be applied to the Atlantean Empire, and the concept of armed men doesn't seem to fit them, first of all, this standard is for humans, crabs, octopuses and other things obviously can't match the word human in any way. Wang Yue said.

Lin Ying immediately understood what he meant, this was to provide a reasonable legal explanation for the Atlanteans to fight in the strait, Hua did not recognize the Atlantean Empire, and the soldiers of the Atlantean Empire did not meet the definition of human beings, so their entry into the territorial waters of China to attack these oil tankers had nothing to do with the definition of invading the territorial waters of China.

Immediately after that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a press conference, publicly rejecting the unreasonable demands of the Atlanteans, and claiming that any foreign armed personnel entering the strait without the permission of the Chinese government would be regarded as aggression against China's territorial waters.

The US imperialist Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a public statement praising China's insistence on justice, and in order to show goodwill to China, it repeated the sentence that any armed personnel from countries other than China entering the strait would be regarded as an invasion of China.

The leaders of the two countries showed a long-lost smile on their faces, and expressed their gratitude to China for this move, which in their view was that China did not have the courage to challenge the authority of US imperialism after all.

In the Palace of Divine Beasts, His Excellency the Ambassador of the Atlantean Empire to Jin Guo also held a press conference to accuse China of violating the principle of neutrality.

And then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China retorted...

In short, the war of words between the two sides has intensified.

At this time, the four oil tankers led by the 300,000-ton Panamanian oil tanker Hope were still sailing north along the strait accompanied by the Huaguo frigate, but in the eyes of those crew members who were worried all the way, the dark clouds hanging overhead had been completely dispelled, until on the sea in front of them, an obvious white wave suddenly appeared.
