Chapter 9: A Fantastic Underwater World
Judging by the data provided by the automatic navigation terminal.
With the current location of the Guiru, it would take at least three or four days to reach the outpost gathering place.
Again, this is based on sailing at least twenty hours a day.
Aside from the time to go into the water to collect supplies and rest, there is hardly much spare time to squander.
In particular, with the current energy reserves of the submarine, it can only support the power output for about three days at most.
Before the energy is completely consumed, we have to find enough energy ore to replenish it.
Otherwise, you'll have to hunt the alien sea monster and earn miles to buy.
In order to hunt the alien sea monster, it is necessary to create a shipboard weapon.
Otherwise, just rely on that small harpoon, not to mention the alien sea monster, even if you encounter a deep-sea giant crab, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break the defense!
Therefore, Meng Lei immediately decided that he couldn't stay longer in this barren sea nearby, and he had to dive as soon as possible!
After making up his mind, Meng Lei did not delay any longer.
The submarine's autopilot mode is directly turned on, allowing the submarine to dive deeper into the abyss at full power according to the established navigation route.
A slight roar of machinery rang out in the dead and desolate depths.
In the depths of the boundless darkness of the ocean, the Guixu is like an ant in the desert, exuding a faint light, slowly wandering.
Along the way, there were sporadic anomalies that were detected on the sonar display.
Meng Lei just glanced at it briefly, roughly saw what it was, and then continued sailing without too much stop.
As we go deeper, we encounter more and more anomalies along the way.
According to Meng Lei's rough statistics, most of the hidden resources in the anomalies in the nearby waters are indeed relatively poor.
The system also makes it clear that these resources do not have much mining value.
However, as a golden finger with a certain subjective consciousness.
The system still constantly reminds Meng Lei of the concept of thrift and thrift, which adds up to a lot and rises from the ground with thousands of high-rise buildings.
However, they were all automatically ignored by Meng Lei.
In Meng Lei's view, instead of wasting precious time on the resource points of the barren belt, it is better to go deeper as soon as possible to find those relatively rich mineral deposits.
When one harvest in the water is worth two or three harvests in the barren zone, it's never too late to do it.
Time, minute by minute in a boring voyage.
For the first half hour, nothing changed around the scene.
Meng Lei sat in the cockpit, and there was nothing outside the porthole except for darkness or darkness.
In a trance, Meng Lei faintly had an illusion.
The current environment is like driving a car on an endless highway, and the unchanging scenery makes you feel like you're stuck in some kind of weird dead loop.
It's a terrible feeling, and in the long run, it's easy for people to have mental problems.
In order to alleviate this state, Meng Lei could only open the regional communication channel and secretly peep at the screen to divert his attention.
Over time, the chats in the communication channel have gradually become meaningful, from the initial clutter.
Most people waste their precious speech of only five times a day when they first start.
By the time they came to their senses, it was already too late.
Therefore, the people who are still actively speaking in the communication channel are relatively high-end players, and they have maintained relative calm at the beginning of the game.
The topics discussed are also dry goods related to survival.
Among them, Meng Lei obtained a lot of valuable clues.
For example, a submarine named "Zhenxin", after leaving the sea area of the birthpoint thirty or forty kilometers, entered a strange and mysterious sea.
There, he found a large number of fluorescent plants.
Although it is not worth collecting, the scene presented is beautiful, like a mythical kingdom, and the fish and marine life are abundant.
Moreover, there are also quite many anomalies there, and there must be at least ten anomalies on average within a detection range of 500 meters.
It's just that most of these anomalies are entrenched by sea monsters.
The captain of the "Invigoration" stared at him dryly, unable to do anything, but silently comforted himself, all to enjoy the underwater scenery.
In addition, trading items have also begun to be listed on the trading platform.
Most of them rely on basic production resources such as iron ore, copper ore and rubber in exchange for food and fresh water.
From this it can be seen that, at least for the time being, food and fresh water are still the biggest problems in front of everyone.
It is believed that in the next few days, at least until most players arrive at the outpost settlement, food and fresh water will be extremely scarce resources.
"Build the fresh water extractor first, and when you have enough fresh water, repair the gravitational ball immediately, and take advantage of the current high exchange ratio to make a wave of money first!"
Meng Lei took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.
Half an hour later, the Guixu had moved away from the sea near the spawn point, and went deeper than ten kilometers.
At this time, the surrounding environment finally changed in a different way.
Although the deep ocean is also extremely dark, the surrounding underwater environment is gradually becoming more complex and diverse.
On the flat and barren seabed, the endless white sand gradually has a different color.
Strangely shaped calcareous coral bones, as well as a large number of live corals, crisscross the crevices of rocks and seafloor fissures.
Tens of meters long, deep-sea algae rise from the ground like big trees, swaying and swaying in the water with the surging currents, like a lush underwater forest.
The school of fish that Meng Lei was thinking about finally showed its shadow here.
A large number of dense schools of fish swim and shuttle through this seaweed thicket.
From time to time, around the submarine, constantly changing formations, showing a variety of postures, it looks extremely spectacular!
Through the glass porthole directly in front of the submarine, Meng Lei looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but hold his breath.
Such a dreamy and magnificent scene was something he had never seen before.
At this moment, the mysterious underwater world was finally presented in front of his eyes in a splendid manner, bringing him great shock!
"Is this what the alien ocean is really like?! It's spectacular! ”
Meng Lei unconsciously left the seat and clinged to the porthole, like a curious baby, indulging in this gorgeous and colorful deep-sea landscape, constantly sighing.
Until the scene in front of me changed again, a huge seabed rift emitting a faint light, like an entrance to another dimension in the darkness, suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Guixu's autopilot function controlled the submarine, and in a swooping attitude, it plunged headlong into the chasm.
Meng Lei finally came back to his senses.
He realized that this diving trip should be about to enter the next stage.
