Chapter 512: Heart of the Ocean (3)
The largest and unprecedented pirate group was smashed in one fell swoop.
The Black Wing Empire is not without information about these skeleton flags from the south, Black Bernard, Furious, and Bad Women are all familiar to people in the south and even in the middle of the country, they are rampant and invincible in the sea of stars and the South China Sea, and they are famous, even Crondo, who is in the north, knows very well who his opponent is just now.
If it was placed in the past, it was a big thing for him to brag about if he could defeat or even repel a pirate king, but now it is different from the past, he is now the commander-in-chief of the Admiralty of the Black Wing Empire, he has conquered Willow at the behest of the Black Emperor, and holds the most powerful naval fleet in the world today.
The country of the deep has arrived.
In fact, they have been lurking underwater for a long time, perhaps in their eyes, pirates are just inconsequential cannon fodder, or perhaps these aliens like to watch humans kill each other, in short, they have not assisted the pirates in their attack on the Northern Fleet, until the pirate group is wiped out and only the remains remain, and the sea tribes finally make a move.
"Captain, there's something attacking the bottom of our ship."
Needless to say, Crondo himself felt the sound of a clanging sound from the bottom of the smooth Imperial Grip main ship, like the muffled sound of metal colliding with each other underwater.
"No breath of life was detected around the fleet." Report from the technician operating the magic system.
"A school of gunfish." Clendo groaned, before the Northern Fleet set sail, Caesar gave them a copy of the Deepsea Nation information they had asked for from Corkina, which marked some common sea species.
The long-range attack under the water made Crondo think of the spear swordfish for the first time, which is an archer of the Deep Sea Country, which can spew bone spurs about one meter long from the head, and can easily penetrate the body of the tiger shark in the records, and the power is amazing.
"Ready to drop the 'jellyfish'." Clondo commanded.
"Jellyfish" is the name given by the Black Emperor, is a new weapon made by the Northern Empire in order to obtain maritime supremacy, it is made of enchanted copper shell iron frame, the first generation is about ten meters in size, shaped like a floating jellyfish, with a ballast water tank so that it can carry people to dive underwater to work, through horizontal and vertical propeller movement, mounted several high-explosive bombs as weapons.
"The crews of the ships are in place, the testing work has been completed, the jellyfish are in good condition, there is no life reaction around the fleet, and the sea situation is stable. Jellyfish can be dropped, repeatedly, jellyfish can be dropped. The technician's quiet voice.
"I'm Crondo." Crondo opens a communication to the group: "I order all ships to open the magic barrier and drop jellyfish. ”
On the magnificent sea, the array of northern ships opened the magic barrier for the first time, and dark light curtains were released from the magic cores in the bodies of each ship, and finally connected.
At the same time, after using the magic barrier to block the bone spur attack of the spearfish fish, the diving compartments at the bottom of each ship opened, as if the jellyfish with heavy loads fell into the black deep sea in an instant, and white bubbles gushed out from both sides of the ship, which was the air released after the opening of the sealed cabin where the jellyfish were originally located.
"What are they doing?"
In the distance, Hill Kannas, who was staying in the head of the giant sea monster Prodorg, narrowed his eyes, "The attack of the spearfish should not be able to penetrate the armor of those ships, why release the magic barrier." ”
Legendary eyesight allowed her to see the bubbles rising on both sides of the ship, and Ciel Kannas thought for a moment, and gently poked a finger on Prodork's head, communicating with the fish with her mind: "I suspect that the humans have launched some unknown attack, and the gunswordfish school temporarily retreats for the armored whales to lean in and take a look." ”
……
"At a depth of thirty-five meters, the situation is stable, Jellyfish A-13 is working normally." Mino glanced at the display panel and reported to the messenger he was connected with.
"Roger, please continue to dive."
"Yes."
He looked up through the observation window at the top, and could only see the pitch-black bottom of the frigate "Shuofeng", surrounded by blue-black water, and the last light was concentrated in the flashing indicator light of the deep diving module, the shimmer seemed to be projected from the hourglass, and the "jellyfish" seemed to sink in the hourglass, and in the end, even the glimmer disappeared completely, and the moment he sank into the darkness, Mino couldn't help but shiver.
"It doesn't feel good." He muttered to himself.
As one of the first deep divers, Minnot has piloted the Jellyfish A-13 many times, and none of them have failed, but the feeling of actually sinking into the deep sea in an unknown area is completely different from the test dive. When his surroundings were completely dark, he could no longer see anything, everything in the world was leaving him, only the bone-cold water and the strange fish around him ready to devour him, and every second of this feeling was torture and suffocation.
If discovered by the Sea Tribes, will the jellyfish be able to withstand the attacks of the Sea Tribes? Mino thought to himself, can't he stop it? He suddenly became a little frightened, and even had a mentality of planning to escape.
At this moment, Mino can finally understand the meaning of what the Black Emperor said to the Red Lotus Goblin - "This kind of deep submersible is far from enough, we need a deep-sea submersible that is faster and bigger, and can be compared with the Titan-class battleship, or even the Juggernaut-class battleship that has not yet appeared", presumably only in that kind of deep submersible can we be fearless against the monsters in the deep sea, right?
Only, what does that kind of submersible look like?
Mino couldn't have imagined.
In the sound of machinery running and the whistling air currents, in his cranky thoughts, time passed little by little, and the depth of the jellyfish had reached hundreds of meters, at this time, the indicator light of the workbench suddenly flashed.
"A-13 surveyed a school of strong energy reaction fish, huge in size, preliminarily judged to be sea tribes, the number is unknown, and now the report location is ......" Minnow immediately connected to the communications office and hurriedly said, in the cold and dead deep sea, the accident became a surprise.
"Roger. Please take concealment precautions and continue to observe until the other jellyfish are in place. ”
Before the order was given, Mino had already activated the invisibility device, and Jellyfish A-13 was completely muted, while the concealment runes on the surface took effect, merging with the seawater.
"They wander in an orderly manner, as if looking for something." Mino's report.
"Searching for 'jellyfish'." Captain Crondo's voice came directly into the submersible, "It was my mistake, a mistake at some point, which led to the other side probably realizing that we had dropped something." ”
Almost as soon as Crondo's voice fell, Mino saw the dense traffic lights on the A-13 console go out, which was an emergency communication light between jellyfish, and someone had disconnected.
Has it been discovered? Minoan thought.
Soon, a new order came from the communications office: "Please note, the jellyfish have been spotted, a large number of sea tribes are approaching your area, immediately float up, the fleet will drop depth charges to wash the water in five minutes, repeat, all jellyfish immediately float up and leave the ......"
The command was interrupted by the cacophony of sirens, and a superimposed holographic projection screen appeared in front of and around Mino, with dense red dots approaching Jellyfish A-13, and a planar profile showing that three red dots were moving towards this position on the same level alone.
"Damn." Mino punched the console, modified the settings, and floated at full speed.
Although the jellyfish is the first product of the Blackwing Empire, it does not mean that it is a simple and crude inferior product, on the contrary, even if Caesar is ahead of the times, the "jellyfish" that combines industrial technology and magic alchemy is also a fairly complete underwater weapon, as long as the pilot operates it properly, the threat that a few armored whales can bring is not great.
Now, for example, Mino's high-explosive bomb floated slowly towards the scarlet, detonating it in its jaw, and the whale that tried to block his way was instantly flipped over, and the flesh was blurred and completely dead.
According to estimates, in four minutes the Jellyfish A-13 will reach the protection area of the frigate "Shuofeng" and return safely.
