CHAPTER XXII

"Well. Look at these deep seas and look up at us. It's always a little weird. Ripple looked at the image on the screen. It was a large pile of deep sea looking up at them below.

The depths of the sea seem to have been confused by a ship flying in the sky, the Attila. It's all staring. None of them were shot. Even the two deep-sea light cruisers who were fighting over a fish had stopped. I looked at this side in a daze. They don't seem to have eyes at all, though.

"Okay. You're always looking at what you're doing in the deep sea. Get ready. After this area, it is time to start work. Luke said. I took a look at the control panel. There is still about half of the remaining probe. The area around Star Island alone has consumed half of the probes. It seems that his previous estimation was a little wrong. It seems a bit unrealistic to use these little probes to explore all the seas. Especially if the number of probes he made this time was insufficient.

Even if Fuso hadn't eaten that box of probes before. This time it wasn't enough. The detection range of the probe is sufficient. It's just that the transmitter seems to be receiving some interference. The effect was nowhere near as good as Luke had previously thought.

Probably something is not quite right in the sea. affects the propagation of the signal. As for what the hell it is. The Eight Achievements are the kind of things contained in the deep-sea currents that can give birth to the deep sea.

But it doesn't matter. Those probes scattered around Star Island have begun to work. The data of the first part has already been sent to the ship. You can see the other thing except for the vein they originally were. There are some scattered vein branches in the northwest of Star Island and along the eastern coast. There are other places as well. But it's not of much value. It's not worth running over to build a mining base.

When you have time in the future, you can get some robots to collect those scattered minerals. It is now most efficient to build extractive units in areas that are rich in minerals.

Naturally, the work of the projection probe is very smooth. Nothing can stop a spaceship from flying in the sky. At least not in the deep sea. Those guys on the western continent of the Moon Ring Island are naturally not good.

The technology of the ship. It's been over those guys for I don't know how many years. Basically, this Ettila is now. Nothing could threaten the ship. Fly in the sky. Those anti-aircraft guns on the ground can hit them, and there are ghosts. Even if you can hit it. Whether it can penetrate the outer armor plate is even more questionable.

One by one, the probes were fired through the modified guns. Straight to the bottom of the sea. Occasionally, a few of them will be blocked by hitting rocks or sea creatures or something.

But for the probes at once, there are dozens of probes. It doesn't matter if you lose one or two of them. It's just that Fuso thinks it's a pity. Those probes. It's still delicious for them. Probes that don't make it to their intended position. It's a shame.

Throw all the probes out. Luke was also a little relieved. Look at the information that comes back. There are quite a few veins on the seabed. Especially away from deep-sea currents. The places near the currents of the deep sea seem to have been swept by the deep sea. It's all hollow. It seems to have been excavated by something.

Presumably, there are some things that can collect minerals on the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, this would not have happened. And the deep sea seems to need supplies. But in the south, they are quite fond of ammunition. Occasionally, I would eat a little with Fuso. I really don't know how she digested it.

The perched clothes of several of them in the south. Luke had already studied it carefully. The shells fired were completely different from the ship's maidens. The shells were all black bumps. It can be said that it is very simple. It's a lump of steel wrapped in a whole bunch of explosives. But the power is not small. It can only be said that the deep sea is as unscientific as the ship's mother.

It seems that it is because of some kind of biomass that can be condensed into that shape. But that's what the deep sea is all about. It's all made up of that unknown substance. Luke hadn't studied how to modify them or anything. The only thing that is known at the moment is. They can also use the spring rain. Xiao Su and Chunyu will use the destroyer and submarine ship's outfit for the time being.

Wait until Luke figures it out later, and then make them some suitable perch. And Chunyu's legs also need to be upgraded. Now it looks like it's completely armored. It's a little inconvenient to wear clothes or something.

If possible, I still want to make her a pair of bionic legs to blow. After all, it can't look too weird, no.

Circled the map several times. These are all places where excavation bases can be built. The next step is to prepare the materials and some key components that will be needed in these places. After transporting it to the local area, it is possible to establish an extractive base immediately.

All that's left is to build another one. No, no. Two transport ships came. Then one was used to transport the minerals that were brought from the mining base. The other one will be handed over to William, and they will go and trade with the Moon Roundabout.

When the time comes, the driving system will also be changed. lest William's men not know how to drive at all. Although it's okay to let your own shipwive drive a transport ship. However, Luke really didn't worry about the ship's wife driving the transport ship to the Moon Circle Island alone. After all, there are alienated people. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any more ghost things controlling the ship's mother. Wouldn't that be a hell of a disaster?

Luke didn't want this kind of thing to happen to his own ship's mother. Then he's going to blow up. Maybe then we'll actually have to run and wash the floor with shells.

The supplies that were traded with the Moon Roundabout Island this month have already been delivered. The next one will be the middle of next month. However, at that time, it is estimated that the active period of the deep sea is almost coming. I'm afraid it's going to be busier than it is now.

Now the Serena has been in charge of transporting crude oil. On top of that, there are several small submarines that are transporting the ore almost 24 hours a day. To pile up things like refined minerals and newly created ammunition. Luke had to start digging a new warehouse underground.

In this way. This is the place below the base. Or maybe now it's all hollowed out by these goblins of the Luke family. Dig again. Maybe the structure of the base is going to be a little unstable.

The current base is already a little out of shape. If you have a chance in the future. Be sure to find another place to build a warehouse on the water. Otherwise, all the supplies are placed under the base. Every time someone came from William's side to transport it. It has to be very troublesome to carry once.

It's not the same with warehouses placed above the water. After the people from William's side came. You can drive it directly into the warehouse. When the time comes, set up some automatic booms inside. Even manpower is not needed.

Now think about these things. Luke felt that he couldn't be idle. There are so many things waiting for him to do. Akashi has been transformed a while ago. Luke had already sent her all the information on the transformation.

She has now been able to make a makeover. Lilian's Xiao and the others were all transformed by Akashi. After the transformation, the functions and abilities are all no different from those of Lian and them. But Luke is ready for the next makeover. However, this time the transformation is a little different.

So it takes a little time to prepare. This is more than just a reinstatement of armor. Strengthen the powertrain and you'll be done.

Maybe Fuso will really turn into an aviation warship this time.

Other than that, what made him a little strange was. He hadn't heard of any such thing as a big build. Reuth and Lillian never mentioned it. Looking through the memories of the predecessor, I didn't find any knowledge of this kind of large-scale construction.

I've never seen a Yamato or Musashi like that on Star Island before. That's a little weird. But Akashi should know something. Let's ask her in a moment.

The Attila was already back at base at this point. Lian and they have gone to rest. Ready for lunch. Luke also happened to ask Akashi if he knew anything about the big construction.

……

"Large build. How do you remember asking this. Don't you all build it? Luke asked. Akashi, who was holding the chopsticks, was immediately stunned. Didn't Luke never build? Except for the big mackerel and Doria, his two ship girls. It's all fished up or transferred from the Governor's Palace. Forehead. And some of them were snatched.

Why did I suddenly remember to ask her about the big construction this time?

"Oh. Nothing. I'm just asking. Can we do a big construction here? Luke puffed out his cheeks. As he spoke, he chewed on a piece of meat in his mouth. It looks like I'm cooking today. It's a little spicy.

"Yes. Yes, yes, yes. However, there is a gold payment to the elves in advance. They're going to help us make a big installation. And after the large-scale construction of the installation was made. It will also be able to carry out the transformation of the ship's ocean-going form. However, the premise is that the ship's mother must reach the second change or the level must reach more than sixty. Akashi thought for a moment. Said without hesitation. It can be seen that she still knows this matter quite clearly.

I heard Akashi say that. Luke was stunned. I didn't expect that the ship's ocean-going device was actually a large-scale construction device. This time he really asked the right person. This way, there is no need to go to the research institute of the gendarmerie.

"Large build. Huh. What is that. Lillian also heard the conversation between the two. Immediately leaned over and asked suspiciously. She'd never heard of it.

"Well. It's a way of building that makes for new ships. Lillian, I don't think you can afford it. You probably can't afford the gold needed to build the device. Akashi said with some embarrassment. But even if it hits people again. It's also to say no.
