Chapter 2104: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (36)
Ten minutes later.
"Now let's start diving. During the dive, the hull of the boat may be subjected to impact and cause turbulence, so please sit firmly and hold on. Eve declared unemotionally.
The Aurora's dive was quite imposing, after all, it was a ship of that size that crashed directly into the water. The impact of the boat touching the water made the whole ship shake, and it was very shocking at that moment!
"Wow!!" Aubert was not only not afraid, but also stood up excitedly and touched the wall of the bridge, watching the spectacular appearance of the sand boat submerged in the water and making waves. He was so excited that the tiger's tail was wagging wildly.
"Hey, where are you going!" Arthur grabbed Aubert's little tail without warning and tugged at it gently, "It's dangerous, be honest with me!"
"Whew!" Although it was only a light tug, Aubert, who was pulled to his tail, gave up resistance in an instant, retreated and fell into King Arthur's arms: "Don't keep pulling people's tails!
"Who called you naughty," said the Knight King with a wicked smile, "and if you don't obey Uncle Arthur, you will rip off your little tail and take it back as a souvenir!"
"Don't!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey------" Arthur rubbed Aubert's little head vigorously, literally using the tiger boy as a stuffed animal. Aubert struggled but couldn't do anything, so he had to let King Arthur touch it.
"Only Your Majesty can restrain this little naughty meow. Zhalfir chuckled and whispered, "Please take the opportunity to teach him a good lesson." "
"I don't need you to say I'll do it," said the Knight King, rubbing Aubert's face and pulling the little tiger's beard a few times, playing happily.
"Anyway...... It's pitch black. After the sand boat dived into the water, Kate began to complain as she looked at the environment around her that was starting to darken. There was no picture to see, of course he was bored.
"Now it's time to switch to night vision mode. Eve said again.
With a bang, the holographic screen in the bridge began to transform the scenery. The underwater world of the Mediterranean begins to appear in a fluorescent green atmosphere. Due to its covert submarine, the Aurora was unable to use the lighting system, but that didn't prevent the cameras on its exterior from using night vision goggles to frame and feed back the captured images to screens on the bridge.
"It's a lot of fish, it's amazing. Even little Hal was excited, the underwater world turned out to be so magnificent. The sand boats have not yet reached the depths of the seabed, but they are surrounded by tens of thousands of nocturnal fish, all of different sizes and shapes, which are dazzling to see in the silver and green light reflected under the night vision system.
Due to the solar-powered mode, the sand boat does not travel fast in the sea, but it sinks quickly (this seems to have nothing to do with the propulsion system), and in a few minutes it reaches the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and begins to sneak silently. The scenery at the bottom of the sea is richer than in the shallow sea, with a variety of corals, and even without the fluorescent green reflected by night vision systems, the coral reefs that naturally glow in the deep sea are still wonderfully rich.
"Wow------" The leopard-man boy Hal watched intently, and his balloon fish slipped out of the pocket of his belt, swimming happily in the air while enjoying the deep sea scenery with Hal.
"What's the matter, even Pochi hasn't seen a deep sea meow?" asked Aubert with a smile as he teased Howl's balloon fish.
"Poki doesn't live in the sea in the first place, and at most he dives into shallow lakes to play and meow. Hal replied as a matter of course, watching Poki play as if he was familiar with Aubert, when he suddenly sensed something was wrong: "Wait, why do you know Poki Meow?"
"Why can't Meow know Pochi?" The little tiger tilted his head and asked: "Brother Hal, you really see the outside, we are obviously spicy, hey, hey, hey~~"
The tiger boy teased the little carp's belly with his fingers, and Pochi was so amused that he began to swim back and forth. Normally, Pochi is very scared of life, and usually hides when he sees strangers. Could it be that this guy has seen Aubert somewhere?
No, how is that possible.
"I ...... too Seeing that the other two children were having so much fun playing with the fish, Kate also wanted to come over and join in the fun and play with the balloon fish that could swim in the air. But as soon as Pochi saw Kate approaching, he slipped away, and swooped into the pocket of the leopard man's waist, just not letting Kate touch it.
"Huh...... Kate looked disappointed. The little carp poked half of his head out of his pocket and secretly observed Kate who wanted to get closer, and Kate took a half step closer, and he hid in the subspace again.
"I'm sorry, Poch is scared of raw meows. The leopard man smiled bitterly: "Maybe after a while, he will be willing to play with you." "
"Interesting. King Arthur looked at all this and was deliberately unmoved: "Merlin, how far is it from the goal?"
"It's almost the limit of the ship's stealth ability. Prime Minister Merlin replied, "At this rate, another five minutes will reach the tipping point." "
"Understood. Palamides ordered: "Eve, continue at this speed, and after four minutes and thirty seconds stop the movement completely, and counteract the propulsion according to the speed of the current, so that the position of the ship remains absolutely stationary." "
"Yes, Acting Master Paramidis. Eve replied.
"It's time for us to get ready. Palamides stood up from the captain's seat: "Zhalfir, Szelgrade, you two keep an eye on the imps here, don't let them make any trouble, understand?"
"Okay meow. "Of course, meow. The two young leopard brothers replied in unison.
King Arthur, Paramidis, Vivian, Prime Minister Merlin, and Oriental Li Daoyuan left the banquet at the same time and moved towards the ship's warehouse.
In the warehouse, there were already two small British transports moored, carrying four sets of [detrimental armor].
"I'm going to wear something like this...... Vivien sighed.
"You don't have to come along. Palamides smiled wryly.
"What are you kidding," his wife said, with a mocked look of arguity, "those bastards of the Twilight Cultists have been making trouble in my territory many times, and they can't bear it. I must pinch these pesky little bugs to death with my own hands, one by one, and trample them to rot them, so that they will never dare to go wild in Great Britain again. "
"Wow, that's scary. The leopard warrior said with a slight sarcasm.
He was rightfully glared at by his wife, Vivien.
"Mr. Li Daoyuan, is the armor paint really ready?" King Arthur ignored the couple's flirting and asked the Dongguo man instead, "In addition, our armor has a stealth paint, so we can successfully deceive the other party's photon radar." What about you?"
"Don't worry about me," the Dongguo man tapped on his crab shell: "This set of native dissolvable turbidity armor already has the property of absorbing photons. Although it can't be completely invisible in the detection range of photonic radar, its stealth performance is no worse than your painted armor. Let's go and let the thieves know what a price must be paid for stealing our technology. "
"I couldn't agree more with that. Merlin replied in a low voice. One of his research institutes had been burned down by the Dusk Cultists, and if this operation was counted as a revenge, it would not be without Merlin's share.
Several small transport pods on the transport boat were opened. Inside were four sets of shiny armor. No, it's not shiny, the armor is now painted with a special shadow livery designed to absorb and disrupt the opponent's photoradar, and it looks like it's a non-reflective gray-black coat over the armor.
"The livery won't be removed in the water pressure of the deep sea, will it?" Palamides touched the armor, which had a heavy metallic feel, but it was very silky and skin-friendly to the touch, presumably because the shadow paint was working.
"The pressure test has also been done, and the water pressure in the Mediterranean should not affect the painting. Li Daoyuan replied: "But to be on the safe side, please try to avoid all kinds of sharp coral reefs when you are new to the deep sea." Hitting it may scrape off some of the paintwork, and then its performance will be somewhat reduced. "
"Understood. Arthur pulled the valve from behind the armor and "opened" the entire set of turbidity armor. He jumped in, and the open pieces of armor were closed again, wrapping King Arthur tightly.
"Lightweighting is still not done. The Knight King moved his hands and feet, feeling the weight of this set of turbidity armor. While this thing has incredible defenses and can easily wade through both the deep sea and lava, the inevitable clunky thing is the most troublesome thing. Wearing this kind of thing, the pride of the knight king has become an ornament. If you have to wear such heavy armor to explore the Eastern Dark Continent, it is estimated that if something unexpected happens, the team will fall into an unfavorable battle situation.
"The problem of lightweight armor will always take time to solve," Vivien said, "and before that we can collect more combat data." "
"Arrived at the intended place. "That's when the ship's artificial intelligence navigation system returns.
"Good. Palamides snorted, putting on his armor as the others did: "Eve, open the door to the warehouse." "
"The stealth hatch has been opened, and I wish you all a good trip. "The floor of the warehouse was brushed open with a door panel large enough for everyone to jump on.
The water of the deep sea did not invade the warehouse because of the opening of the hatch, and Palamides was not surprised at all when he saw this. After all, it was the ship of the ancient gods and people, and it used a simple and powerful barrier to block the sea water outside, and this barrier was one-way, and the sea water from the outside could not enter this warehouse, but people could jump out of the warehouse.
Boom! The crowd jumped out of the hatch and plunged headlong into the water. The hatch closed behind them at the same time, and the Dawn stood like a huge reef in the depths of the ocean.
Smack. Despite its heavy armor, it was unexpectedly low-key when it landed on the seabed, emitting only the muffled sound of stones colliding with each other.
"Don't use headlamps. King Arthur's voice came from the communicator, "Switch to night vision mode." Although the communication on our side is a short-distance communication using photon encrypted signals, it is difficult to ensure that the new signal between the communicators will not generate noise in the surrounding environment and be detected by the other party's photon radar. Therefore, it is best to keep silent as much as possible after moving on, and do not speak unless necessary. "
The crowd nodded.
"So let's get started. "The Knight King took the lead.
