18 Dive into the Black Sea

After repelling the HER underwater forces that attempted to attack the new Muscovy and blame the new European Union, Lin Ao and Luke lay quietly on the beach waiting for rescue.

Next to the bright moonlight, a vague crescent moon appeared.

"Today I was lucky to see the new earth." Luke said lazily.

"What?"

"New Earth, don't you know? The new earth built by the Moore Chamber of Commerce, they said that in the future humans could live on it. ”

Lin Ao looked up at the vague crescent moon and said, "When I was a child, my mother used to point to the sky, saying that there were only a few days a month when I could see the new earth in the sky, and that she might move to live on it in the future. “

"Haha, my mom said that, too."

"But do you think it's possible?" Lin Ao propped himself up and said, "Just leave the earth and go to live on a planet that is not as big as the moon?" I mean, is this the fate of humanity? ”

"I didn't study philosophy at Oxford, but I think it's a plan to build something like a future shelter now that the war is going on."

"Shelter... You're different from others, they always say it's a new home when they talk about the new Earth. ”

"After all, I am an engineering student, not so romantic and idealistic. But I want humanity to have a 'backup', and who knows what will happen in the future? ”

An hour later. They finally waited for the troops to come to their rescue, but to their surprise, it was not the carrier aircraft of the Osiris, but the submarine of the new European Union.

The jet-black submarine bridge emerges from beneath the black surface of the Black Sea, and from a distance, everyone thinks that it is nothing more than a black sea wave.

The hatch of the bridge opened, and out came a new EU officer and Corporal Bart of the Osiris, looking at Lin'ao and Luke, who were still trying to figure out what was going on. Bart said happily: "Smile, we have a truce with the new European Union!" To introduce you, he is the captain of this submarine, Ensign Antoine. ”

"Really? Didn't the new EU suddenly attack the Osiris? “

Luke shrugged: "Our goal is to catch the second machine, but now that I have made the fourth machine look like this, the top must have taken it if it was good... In any case, we will not be enemies in the future. “

Luke reached out to Lyneo and clasped it tightly with Lyon's hand.

"Luke, there's something I have to tell you..."

"What?"

Bart patted them on the shoulder:

"If you have anything to say on the submarine, you should not stay here for a long time!"

The submarine can carry up to three humanoid weapons, and under the operation of AI, the second machine dragged the "Phoenix" onto the deck of the submarine, and the crew skillfully fixed the two airframes.

"Just tied up outside, won't it get water?" Lin Ao asked.

"Our new EU's 'partner cavalry' can withstand the water pressure of shallow seas, and the same is true for the fourth machine, as for your body, it should be fine."

"Should?" Lin Ao decided not to dwell on this issue anymore, he just wanted to get back to the Osiris as soon as possible. He glanced at the island again, said goodbye, and followed Bart into the submarine.

"Be careful, Lin Ao, the inside of the submarine is very narrow, although I saw the internal structure of the submarine in Science Illustrated when I was a child, I didn't expect the space inside to be so small!" Bart complained.

The interior of the submarine is indeed not large, the width of the corridor is only one and a half meters, and there are various meters on the walls, which will be difficult for people with a slightly larger stature.

"I thought that in the era of space colonization, submarines were similar to warships."

Lin Ao echoed Bart's words, a man as thin as he still felt crowded in a submarine.

Ensign Antoine of the new European Union has long been accustomed to such an environment, and his steps are relaxed and naturally leading the way in front: "Although human beings can reach the borders of the solar system, their knowledge of the sea is still only scratching the surface. The larger the submarine, the greater the water pressure, and it can only fight in the sea, so no one pays for the development of new submarines. ”

Speaking of this, Second Lieutenant Antoine tapped on a somewhat yellowed instrument panel: "See, it's all old objects." ”

"But isn't this submarine capable of carrying humanoid weapons?" Lin Ao asked.

"This is also an old thing forced to adapt to the new era, the new European Union has simply modified submarines that are still in service like my 'Swordfish', and installed an improvised runway on the deck that can take off and land 'partner cavalry', so that we can run all over the Black Sea with them."

Bart crossed his hands: "Ha, I said why didn't you find the humanoid weapon base that attacked the Osiris this afternoon, you also used submarines, right?" ”

Antoine nodded: "But it won't be me who attacked you, the weapons of this ship are gone, and on the way back, Admiral Alain ordered to rescue you." “

Lin Ao turned his head and asked Barth, "Corporal, why are you on this submarine again?" ”

"Admiral Alain of the new European Union took the initiative to contact Captain Shepard to find you in the truce, because the small island you were killed is close to the territory of the new Muscovy, and it is too ostentatious to dispatch carrier aircraft, and you can only use submarines, and I was sent to monitor them."

Bart leaned down in Lin's ear and said, "According to the new EU admiral, the attack on the Osiris was an 'accident', and we don't care about that." ”

Lin Ao nodded, this is easy to understand, give each one step down.

The submarine sailed cautiously beneath the surface of the Black Sea, and they had just learned from Lynch and Luke that HER had developed a humanoid weapon for underwater use. The ship has no weapons, so I really don't dare to be careless.

Luke pulled Lin'o aside and asked, "What are you going to tell me just now on the island?" ”

Lin Ao looked around and whispered to Luke, "The reason why the guerrillas attacked the fortress was arranged by the Star Alliance. ”

"What did you say?" Luke's eyes subconsciously wanted to go to Bart, a former Star Alliance soldier.

Lin Ao held him down: "It's okay with the Osiris!" It was an accident that they contained Machine 2, just like I became the pilot! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"I was delivering food to the guerrillas that day, but they forcibly stayed behind to take part in that operation. Bashar, our guerrilla captain, says he made a deal with the Covenant. Bashar led us to attack the fortress, and the Covenant provided resources to the refugees. “

"The Covenant is doing this to keep the second machine from falling into the hands of HER? But where did they know the information? “

Lin Ao shook his head: "Then I don't know, although Luke, your parents were not killed by me, but I feel the need to tell you this." ”

Luke placed a hand on Lin Ao's shoulder and nodded in gratitude.

As soon as it was dawn, the submarine arrived at the port of Trabzon in the new European Union. Although the voyage was slow, there were no accidents along the way, and the slowness was worth it.

With his head poked out of the enclosed submarine space, Lin Aomei was blown by the Black Sea sea breeze, and gulped the air outside the submarine. On the other side of the harbor, the morning sun shines on the silver-gray shell of the Osiris, which is particularly dazzling...
