Chapter 40: Preparations Before Salvage
Relative to other thermal weapons.
In Meng Lei's cognition, he felt that the two weapons, shotguns and pistols, were the easiest to use and the most convenient to control.
Whether it is a machine gun, rifle or submachine gun, the huge recoil when firing continuously is difficult for people without a certain amount of shooting experience to easily grasp.
Although this has a certain relationship with personal physical fitness, it is mainly a matter of proficiency.
Now Meng Lei doesn't have so much time to familiarize himself with the performance of firearms, he can only choose the simplest and crudest weapons!
Therefore, the shotgun, a very lethal weapon, has undoubtedly become the best choice.
And, there is another reason for choosing a shotgun.
The space inside the submarine is limited and relatively cramped, mostly consisting of corridors and confined rooms.
In this small-scale combat environment, the effect of the shotgun can be maximized.
Whether you encounter a single enemy or a group of enemies, the lethality can be well reflected.
Of course, in the deep sea of more than 2,400 meters.
Why the game setting still uses thermal weapons as mainstream weapons is not what Meng Lei cares about.
You know, at least on the Blue Star, the resistance of water is seven or eight hundred times that of air!
No matter what gun you use, it's hardly powerful in the water.
At the moment when the bullet is discharged, almost all the energy is sucked away by the water, and even the range is greatly limited!
What's more, what about the deep-sea pressure of more than 2,000 meters?
How the system solves the problem of resistance and viscosity, Meng Lei couldn't figure it out at all, and he didn't bother to think about it.
What can't be explained, all the things that are pushed to alien technology are over.
Think of those that don't matter, a pure waste of brain cells!
Carefully study all the types of shotguns available in the weapons workshop.
After thinking about it again, Meng Lei finally decided to choose a standard shotgun of 10 caliber.
This shotgun is not very long, and it has a moderate radius of gyration.
Even in the event of an emergency, it can react extremely quickly, so as not to miss the opportunity because the length of the gun will affect the time of aiming locking.
Although the 8 and 4 caliber shotguns are more powerful than the 10 caliber.
However, the body size of the gun is too large, and the barrel is too long, which is not conducive to the use of the gun in a narrow combat environment.
Therefore, the No. 10 caliber can be regarded as the most convenient for now.
However, in order to create this weapon, in addition to the basic resources, titanium aluminum alloy is also needed.
Fortunately, although there is not much perovskite left today, it is difficult to meet the need to upgrade the hull of the submarine.
But if you just build a shotgun, it's not a problem.
A few minutes later.
With a flash of white light, a new cluster of 10-gauge standard shotguns quietly appeared on the manufacturing table of the weapons workshop.
The body of the gun, which has beautiful lines and excellent workmanship, exudes a terrifying glow under the illumination of the light.
The thick muzzle of the gun is dark and terrifying, and at a glance, it brings great deterrence!
This aesthetic of violence is almost irresistible to a man!
"Handsome! It's really handsome! ”
Meng Lei took a step forward, hugged the brand-new weapon in his arms, and looked up and down lovingly, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Because of the control of guns in Kyushu law, Meng Lei has only seen this kind of thing on TV since he was a child.
Touching the cold and sturdy body of the spear with his own hands, he felt the heart-pounding violence hidden in the overall structure.
To tell the truth, he is a big girl on a sedan chair, which is unprecedented!
After admiring it for a long time, the curiosity and excitement in my heart subsided slightly.
Then, a batch of resources was spent to produce two boxes of 20 rounds, 10-gauge shotgun ammunition.
In the end, Meng Lei re-screened the contents of the weapon workshop again.
Just in case, he made two more frag grenades to carry on his body, just in case.
After doing all this, he finally let out a sigh and turned back into the cockpit.
At this time, after a period of sailing, the Guixu was less than a kilometer away from the location of the wreck.
It's just that the route planned by the automatic navigation is not in the same direction as the shipwreck.
As a result, Meng Lei turned off the autopilot system and switched to manual operation.
Personally piloted the submarine and rushed towards the sunken ship at full speed.
As it keeps approaching.
On the seabed ahead, fragments of metal buried in the sand and the wreckage of the submarine gradually began to appear.
The wreckage has been immersed in seawater for an unknown amount of time and looks badly corroded.
Countless algae plants and microorganisms, including polyps, parasitize wildly on it, covering it with a thick layer that is almost impossible to see.
The metal body that is occasionally exposed is also rusty, leaving a lot of traces of time.
Meng Lei walked all the way, as if he had entered a still world.
Everything was frozen at the moment when the submarine sank.
It's like an oil painting, where time loses its utility and becomes no longer passing.
Keep moving forward.
Submarine fragments are increasingly being attached to a large number of bottom arthropods and microorganisms.
This also includes a large number of damaged equipment and exposed wiring structures.
You can tell from these things alone.
The submarine has definitely disintegrated and no longer has integrity.
I just don't know if its main structure is still complete.
If even the body is broken into countless pieces and scattered in this vast seabed, the difficulty of salvage will undoubtedly be quite huge!
Fortunately, when the Angelica Ruins came to a range of about 200 meters near the huge anomaly.
The submarine's sonar detection system received the feedback signal of the sinking ship more and more clearly.
Then, after complex data analysis, the 3D virtual map successfully restored the current state of the wreck.
Images presented on the map indicate that most of the shipwreck's hull is still intact.
It looks like a giant cigar leaning against the seabed, broken in the middle and the bottom half buried in a thick layer of sand.
This discovery made Meng Lei breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, the difficulty of salvage is greatly reduced, at least the search range is not so extensive.
A minute later, the Guiru finally arrived at the location of the anomaly.
Beyond the extreme illumination range of the distant searchlight, in the infinite darkness, a huge black shadow gradually appeared!
The Guiru, which was only ten cubic meters in size, was simply ashamed of itself compared to the huge shadow.
The two sides are not of the same magnitude at all!
Meng Lei stood up from the driver's seat with a slight shock, and couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart.
"Such a large submarine, presumably, there must be a separate toilet inside!"
