"Is there a clearer map?" Ning Yi stared at the signals that filled the screen, feeling that he had already suffered from a dense phobia.

There are too many of these monsters, right?

They're all at the bottom of the sea, so it's no wonder they don't see any Ghostclaw.

"Yes, we put a miniature camera down, but in order to avoid being torn apart by the Talon Monster, we strengthened the protection of the enclosure and kept it as small as possible, so the power supply could only be supplied for a short period of time, and we took a video with the night vision device before the camera lost its ability to work." The sonar controller replied.

Ning Yi nodded: "Let it go." ”

The sonar controller immediately showed the video to Ning Yi.

Soon, the real scene of the seabed appeared in front of Ning Yi's eyes, and the detection system was indeed not mistaken, when the camera descended to a depth of more than six hundred meters, it found that the bottom of the sea below was densely packed with ghostly claw monsters.

However, the video was very short, and it didn't take long for the camera to swallow a clawed monster that pounced on it.

These monsters lurking at the bottom of the sea did not surface in the sea, but judging from the video just now, the density was enough to make the next beast tide even more terrifying.

Of course, as for the scale, we will have to wait for the data to be transmitted back before we can judge it.

While he was thinking about it, the sonar controller suddenly said in a hurry: "Sir, sir, there is an anomaly at the bottom of the sea." ”

The captain of the Xingye, a retired naval colonel officer who had encountered the Phantom Claw Monster many times at sea, Jiang Yu immediately rushed over.

When Ning Yi heard this, he also looked over and found that a dense signal point on the screen was moving rapidly.

"The Spectreclaws are on the move. They are expected to encounter us in half an hour. ”

"Quantity?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Hundreds, even thousands."

Jiang Yu looked at Ning Yi, who smiled faintly and said, "Theoretically." This battleship can withstand at least five thousand attacks, Brother Chiang. Now it's up to you. ”

Jiang Yu was not polite, theoretically, on this battleship, he is the biggest, and the command is naturally in his hands.

Jiang Yu's relationship with the Tie family is extraordinary, he has to be called Aunt Tie Ying, which is why Ning Yi trusts him.

"Check the damage to the battleship!" Jiang Yu immediately ordered.

"Assessed at 6-7%, the turbine blades are slightly deformed, and the lower right side is hit to a certain extent. Squeezed a sealed pod, but it didn't matter. ”

"Fuel conditions?"

"Normal, no problem with full power supply for five days."

"Weapons" Jiang Yu ordered one by one, and the Xingye immediately started to operate with all its staff.

"Level 1 combat readiness, ready for an exchange of fire in twenty minutes."

Jiang Yu gave various orders in an orderly manner, while Ning Yi quietly stepped aside.

He was ready to step out of the enclosed compartment and go outside the battleship.

He was the only one on the ship, exposed to the Red Demon Dragon's attack range without any influence.

The corner of Jiang Yu's eyes swept slightly. He looked a little worried, but this was what Ning Yi had said in advance, so he didn't hesitate.

In fact, it is important to have a good commander.

Soon. As predicted at the same time.

Twenty minutes later, attacks from the air and from the bottom of the sea arrived almost simultaneously.

There were about thirteen to fourteen Red Dragons in the sky, and the Ghost Claws at the bottom of the sea were probably close to a thousand. Of course, this is within the detectable range. In fact, the ones who really attacked the Xingye were dozens of heads.

Attack on the bottom of the sea. They had no choice but to ignore it, but this was when the Xingye's killer weapon came in, and they put the long spears pointed down and hugged the sides of the battleship, which was equivalent to creating a sharp fence net on both sides of the battleship.

Once the Spectral Monster hits it hard, it's easy to accidentally crash into those bayonets and kill yourself.

Moreover, the battleship had sufficient fuel, so Jiang Yu ordered at the same time to move forward with evasive actions.

Carry those phantom claw monsters in an S-shaped circle, so that their impact is slowed down or even their attacks are not in place.

As for the Red Demon Dragon in the sky, it has just entered the best range of 100 meters.

The Phalanx was activated.

When a Red Demon Dragon that was making a tentative attack swooped down, it was beaten by the dense array at a height of sixty or seventy meters, and it was directly blasted into a sieve.

However, its body was really strong, and even though it had been hit by at least thirty or forty shells, it still rushed towards Ning Yi on the standing deck.

It's a pity that before he got close to Ning Yi, he was bombarded by a dense array and another dense bombardment, and the Red Demon Dragon, which had been hit by at least a hundred bullets, finally couldn't bear it, and its huge body plunged into the sea at once.

Ning Yi looked at it, and didn't feel a burst of pain, this is the Red Demon Dragon, if the crystal is intact, how many of these special cannonballs can be bought, do you know?

Fortunately, soon the second Red Demon Dragon roared down again, and of course, it was killed by a violent bombardment, and countless 20mm caliber drilled shells swished at it.

Its huge body was instantly beaten like a banana leaf in the heavy rain.

The red devil dragon's eyes were not good, and he dragged his scarred body in a daze, and after swooping rapidly, he tried to pull it up.

It obviously succeeded, and the Phalanx did not attack with strength in order not to waste bullets, and the Red Demon Dragon wittily found a maneuver angle and prepared to return to the sky.

But it misses Ningyi.

The moment it swooped down and pulled up again, Ning Yi also moved.

With a teleportation, the dragon's tooth sword pulled horizontally and slashed towards the sky.

"Huh!" A blue dark blue battle qi slashed directly at the Red Demon Dragon, slicing its entire chest and abdomen open in an instant.

Ning Yi's choice of place also subconsciously avoided the location of the crystal.

The Red Demon Dragon snorted and fell directly on the deck.

"Boom!" The huge body lay directly on the foredeck like mud.

The crowd who saw this scene through the tempered glass in the command room immediately cheered.

The Red Demon Dragon in the sky was suddenly a little stunned.

Obviously, they should have never encountered such a situation.

And so hung up the companions who came down from both ends to tempt. And the death was too miserable.

But their towels clearly don't exist in their dictionaries.

Immediately the third round of attacks began.

This time, several Red Demon Dragons rushed down at the same time.

They spread out widely, swooping down in almost a circle in all directions.

It's a pity. They're still in trouble.

The four phalanxes looked like they had eyes, staring at their bodies as cannonballs swooped to them like gummy candy and greeted them.

Seven or eight Red Demon Dragons were injured in an instant, and five of them were injured. There are people who fell into the sea, and they struggled to fly back again.

The rest of the Red Demon Dragons wilted directly.

hovering high in the air, not daring to descend further.

The battleship hooked up the two wounded Red Demon Dragons, and Ning Yi took them off with a single sword.

Luckily, the corpse of the three-headed Red Demon Dragon dug up two blue-level crystals, and one of them was destroyed.

Although I was so distressed that I lost my teeth, I have already returned to my roots.

The Red Demon Dragon lingered for a while, but was bombarded again by the Phalanx. Those monsters didn't even dare to stay in the air, so they ran away.

The air threat is lifted.

With some regret, he watched a few wounded Red Demon Dragons leave, and Ning Yi also returned to the cockpit.

The Ghost Claw at the bottom of the sea is still making a fuss.

The sound of clattering and banging was endless.

Although it does not affect the battleship, it has a lot of impact on the course and speed.

At home, Mu Qingxue, Feng Yingruo and Shangguan Ni kept calling in turn to inquire about the situation.

Ning Yi told them that he was returning safely, but they didn't believe it, so they had to watch it.

Ning Yi had no choice but to let them appreciate their results.

The women are safe.

In fact, their radar has long locked on the Xingye, and they are fully aware of the Xingye's movements.

The ghost-claw monsters at the bottom of the sea probably know that the fact that they are doing it is too unreliable, and from time to time there are friends who are crippled by bayonets. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was too uneconomical to attack an iron lump that could not be "easy".

After struggling for more than half an hour, he left angrily.

Of course, they are mainly IQ arrears. The battleship was still quite badly damaged under their repeated impacts.

A wear rate of at least 15% is evaluated.

What does this mean, it means that if you open the Xingye number. At most, after five or six voyages, this money-burning cargo with a renovation cost of more than 300 million meters will be scrapped.

300 million meters of gold. With a wear of 15%, that is, 45 million meters of gold, two blue-level crystals can only barely recoup the cost. Not counting the loss of shells, the salaries of personnel.

Therefore, after getting rid of the encirclement and interception of the phantom claw monster, Ning Yi and they quit.

Now we have to start recovering our roots.

So the battleship slowed down.

Begin to strangle the Spectreclaw Monsters along the way, sometimes killing them easily, and even driving a reinforced speedboat into the water to deal with these Spectral Monsters.

Along the way, he killed at least more than 300 ghostly claw monsters and blood claws.

The entire deck was littered with the corpses of the Bloodclaws.

Back at Beiling Port, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.

What touched Ning Yi and them was that although this point in time was the most difficult time for people, on the dock, in addition to some necessary stevedores, there were hundreds of employees of 32 Group who came to greet them.

Gu Ying, Mu Qingxue, Feng Yingruo, Feng Yingshuang, Lin Yun, Lin Shiyao, Li Jiawei, and representatives of the military were all present.

After a brief greeting, Ning Yi looked at Mu Qingxue and the others, and couldn't help but blame softly: "The weather is so cold, and I slept so late last night, why did you come here so early?" Even if you don't worry about your own body, you still have a baby in your belly. ”

He knew that they had been worried about Ning Yi and their problems last night, and they basically didn't sleep.

A few big beauties didn't say anything, they glanced at him a few times, and Ning Yi was out of line.

Soon, the results were counted.

On this trip, they reached the open sea more than 260 nautical miles away, and deployed more than 40 sonar detectors and signal transmitters.

But most of them were destroyed.

But the rest is enough.

The current detection range has been extended to the ocean 400 nautical miles away.

This is a decisive help for the study of animal tides.

At the same time, a large number of data on the attack patterns and attack power of the Phantom Claw were successfully collected, and a large number of attack videos of the Phantom Claw in the water were filmed.

The defensive performance of the new armor was also verified, as well as the power of various new weapons.

On top of that, they went on this trip, killing three hundred and twenty-nine Ghost Claw Monsters and Blood Claw Monsters, four Red Demon Dragons, and wounding three, thus confirming the power of the Xingye.

Crystals or something are secondary, but combat experience, these things, can't be bought with money.

With this actual combat experience, the 32 Group is not only ahead of the rest of the world in terms of equipment, but also in terms of actual combat experience.

After counting the results of the battle, Ning Yi did not participate in these things, and Ning Yi and the others, who had been tossing outside for a day and a night, got off the boat and had some breakfast, and then went to rest.

After waking up in the afternoon, Ning Yi received this information.

For Ning Yi, the biggest takeaway from this trip was that the improved power of the Phalanx opened his eyes.

It turned out that the Red Demon Dragon couldn't withstand this terrifying attack.

But of course, the cost was also quite high, and in less than half an hour of fighting, the phalanx almost ran out of half of the 20mm caliber special crystal shells.

Compared to the harvest, it is actually nothing to run out of shells, but this shell is not that easy to make.

The yield is low, and many of them are hand-polished.

Two hundred workers have been working for a month, and so far there are 30,000 finished products.

And in last night's battle, more than 7,000 were directly defeated.

Where can you play like this?

So, things are good, but too extravagant.

Another gain, that is, the Xingye has really withstood the test.

After more than 20 hours of sailing, more than 500 attacks were carried out before and after, and the damage rate of the battleship was about 15%, of which the damage to the hull of the battleship was about 8% to 10%.

In other words, the Xingye can probably withstand five or six thousand attacks.

This is quite important, which means that Xingye already has a certain amount of ocean-going capabilities.

With enough 20mm crystal bullets, it's okay to wander outside for at least five or six days.

But of course, it is unrealistic to want the Heye to go to the Ounces Islands.

In addition, another important purpose of the trip was to place sonar detection equipment on the high seas 200 nautical miles away to collect intelligence, predict the scale of animal tides, and give early warnings.

After this voyage, it was almost completed, and although half of the equipment had been destroyed by the Spectral Monster so far, the remaining equipment was still enough to support the work.

Now, as long as the Phantom Claw Monster makes a big change three hundred and fifty nautical miles away, then Nanling's side can basically make a rough prediction.

With the speed of the Phantom Claw's movements, this can almost provide more than thirty hours of warning to the Haiyang District.

With such a long warning, casualties can be minimized.

In the next step, after the Xingye overhaul, the damaged parts will be repaired as much as possible, and Ningyi will also make a second voyage.

With 250 nautical miles of experience as a foundation, Ning Yi will make 400 nautical miles a challenge.

From 400 nautical miles, you can basically see some of the islands that are exposed in the Pacific Ocean.

The biggest threat to humanity, the Red Demon Dragon, seems to inhabit those islands. (To be continued......)
