Chapter 313 Deep Sea Fishing
[Name: Deep Sea Explorer (tentative)]
[Level: Unleveled Item]
[Type: auxiliary props]
[Description: A powerful submarine with a solid shell. It can dive to a depth of 15,000 meters . It is easy to operate and equipped with a fully digital intelligent management system. It has a complete power, depth-fixed suspension, weapon and other systems (ammunition missing). It can accommodate hundreds of members at the same time... It is equipped with 16 missile launch tubes (ammunition missing), equipped with...]
The complete description was hundreds of pages long, with densely packed text, pictures, and data, which almost made Su Xia feel overwhelmed. This was the first time he had seen a prop with so many descriptions.
Just the opening description was enough to terrify him.
Fifteen thousand meters?
On Earth, the current deep diving record seems to have just reached 10,000 meters, and that is with special submarines specifically used for deep diving.
The diving depth of ordinary submarines is only a few hundred meters. The nuclear submarines of various countries are about the same. Only the polar bear's submarine can go a little deeper.
"It can withstand the water pressure of 15,000 meters. What kind of Zenith technology is this?" Since coming to this world, Su Xia has been surprised by many things.
But this submarine still greatly exceeded his expectations.
He continued to read the description of the submarine, turning the pages. The more he read, the more he felt.
Safety.
This submarine is always talking about safety. Its hull is hard and pressure-resistant, its structure is stable, and its interior is equipped with various escape capsules, pressure suits, life jackets, etc. Its safety is the most prominent feature.
You know, the underwater environment is complex and no one can guarantee safety.
There are many accidents that submarines fear on the seabed, such as "falling deep", "taking in water", "catching fire", etc. Once an accident happens, the entire submarine will become a giant coffin on the seabed.
For the people in the submarine, the feeling was undoubtedly hopeless.
"All weapons are missing. It seems that this submarine has no offensive capabilities. We can only drive it to sightsee on the seabed."
Su Xia continued to flip through the pages, and when she came to the third page introducing the weapon system, her eyes lit up and stopped on a line of introduction.
[Equipped with 6 533mm torpedo tubes, carrying 18 super-high-speed torpedoes (ammunition exists)...]
It was actually equipped with torpedoes. Su Xia clicked on the details, and the three-dimensional structure diagram of the torpedo immediately appeared in front of him.
Can I go deep-sea fishing in the future?
Of course, bombing fish is just talk. This thing can sink an enemy submarine with one shot, so it is very precious.
"Do the Mechanic have submarines?"
Su Xia suddenly thought of this question.
Judging from the way mechanical life exists, most of their underwater mechanical creatures are in the shape of submarines.
[You can name the submarine and assign crew members to it]
A message suddenly popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes, and the interface changed.
At the top, there is an option to [Change Name].
Without thinking, he clicked and typed in the words "Nautilus".
Jules Verne's " Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea " provided a lot of brightness to Su Xia's gloomy childhood. He had read it many times when he was a child and remembered the Nautilus in the book very clearly, so the first name that came to his mind was this.
At that time, he often daydreamed when he was sleeping, constructing his own world and traveling around the world in his own submarine.
But as he grows older, he becomes more and more realistic, and he hasn't returned to the world he imagined for a long time.
【Name change successful】
[You have become the captain of the "Nautilus", go find a place to try it out]
【……】
In this way, Su Xia had the first submarine for young people.
Coral City is located in the southwest inland and there is not even a large lake, so the submarine is naturally useless.
After going to the south and finishing my business, maybe I can go to the sea and enjoy the underwater life for half a day.
Su Xia clicked to close the submarine's description, rubbed her eyes, which were almost sore from looking at them, walked out of the basement and returned to the ground floor.
"Master Su, lunch is ready." Boss Zhao from across the street shouted enthusiastically when he saw him appear.
"Okay, I'll be right over."
After these few days of contact, Boss Zhao was no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning, and gradually returned to the way he was when he first communicated with his father.
Neighbors are also slowly getting used to it.
At lunch, the three Su Xia brothers, plus more than a dozen children, sat around the table, and the atmosphere was no longer as deserted as it had been when their father left.
"I'm going to be in seclusion these few days and finish writing the textbook as soon as possible." Su Xia said to the two Bafu during the meal, "If there is nothing important recently, you can handle it yourselves, don't call me."
"Brother Su, do you really want to write it by yourself ?" Hong Bafu asked.
"How about we help out and participate in the compilation?" Lan Bafu put down his chopsticks. "I heard that writing a book is very tiring. Previously, there was a mechanical master in the north who wanted to write a book based on his knowledge. However, before the book was finished, half of his hair turned white. He was exhausted and almost died."
"Not really, it's not that exaggerated..."
Su Xia shook his head. He was in good health and full of energy. As long as he had enough knowledge, he could write ten or eight books.
It would be ridiculous if a level 5 creature was killed by a book.
"I'll trouble you two brothers with the school construction and the children's matters," said Su Xia.
"It's no trouble. I just like to go to the construction site and brag to the workers." Hong Bafu said with a smile.
"Leave the children to me." Lan Bafu is more meticulous than Hong Bafu and is suitable for taking care of children.
It's only a few days anyway, so nothing serious will happen even if Su Xia is not here.
Next, Su Xia explained some more things to ensure that everything was safe.
After dinner, he announced that he would go into seclusion.
He pasted a piece of white paper on the door of his room, with the six words "Retreat, do not disturb" written on the paper, and closed the door tightly.
He then released the narcissistic doll and dressed it in his current clothes.
"It should be about the same."
Su Xia thought about it and decided that there was nothing left, so she started packing up and preparing to leave.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. A dark cloud floated over the sky, blocking the sun and giving the whole city a gloomy atmosphere.
In the room, densely packed nanorobots covered Su Xia's entire body, and then turned on the environmental invisibility function.
Su Xia seemed to have disappeared from the spot without a trace.
He gently opened the window of the room, looked at the sky, then jumped out, his body rising rapidly as if it had no weight.
"call out--"
Su Xia rushed straight into the sky and turned into a streak of light across the sky.
There are many small cities in the southwest of the continent, and Seahorse City south of Coral City is one of them.
In addition to Seahorse City, there are also Starfish City, Swordfish City, Sponge City, Anemone City, Conch City and other cities in the south.
These cities all belong to the Mechanical Divers camp. The names are very interesting, and are all named after marine creatures or objects.
In the entire southwest, the only exception is Feijia City where An Lan is located.
Feijia City was formerly called Turtle City.
After An Lan became the city lord, he always felt that this name didn't sound nice, perhaps because it contained the word "turtle" and sounded awkward.
So he wiped out the word with a wave of his hand and changed "龟" to "废".
The Waste Armor City is just as its name suggests, the whole city has a wasteland atmosphere, all the buildings are dilapidated, and its economic strength is far inferior to that of the Coral City.
Su Xia checked the map while moving.
[World Map·Zhongzhou Continent Map·Southwest Region Map……]
The map was covered with fog, with only Fish Scale City in the north of Coral City and Waste Armor City in the northeast being relatively bright because Su Xia had been to those two cities.
The southern city of Kaiba has only one city marker.
Su Xia then called up the explored southwest region map he found on the forum, overlapped it with his own system map, and determined the direction and his own position.
He was just a small red dot on the map, flashing constantly.
"Let's go to Seahorse City first and see if Dad and the others are still there." Su Xia thought silently, "If not, let's go directly to Conch City on the coast, find the poison gland, and refine the Dreaming Soul."
The map that Su Xia found on the forum was very detailed. It not only marked every city, but also marked the dangerous areas in the wilderness between cities.
This kind of map was discovered by players who love exploration at the cost of their lives.
Su Xia noticed that in the wilderness in the southwest, there were many icons of mercenary towns. Above each icon was the word "Wang Teng" written on it, and it was marked with the words [Extremely Dangerous, Big Boss].
[Wang Teng, the data of the Zero Point Tavern is that he is a 4.8-level psychic creature, but he is suspected to be a 5.0-level psychic creature. He is extremely powerful and appears in various mercenary towns around Coral City. He likes to torture and kill players and should not be provoked easily.]
This comment was also discovered by the players at the cost of their lives.
Some players are unlucky and are captured by mercenaries and locked in cages, unable to escape. They experience various tragic deaths over and over again, and finally have to give up their accounts.
In the eyes of those players, the wandering mercenaries in the wilderness are more brutal than the mechanical tribe.
The mechanical people are at least reasonable, and they will also issue tasks and distribute rewards.
"Wang Teng has become more and more arrogant recently."
Su Xia has never had time to deal with this person. This time when he goes out, if he has time, he plans to deal with him at once.
Such people would be a nuisance if kept around.
He received news that just a few days ago, Wang Teng led a group of mercenaries under his command to capture a rebel base in the west and collected a large bounty in Coral City.
Su Xia had previously destroyed a small mercenary town, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of those mercenaries.
But with the emergence of Wang Teng, this "man who even the masked weirdo dared not provoke" became the backbone of many mercenaries. The mercenaries in the southwest region gradually became lawless, demarcating land in the wilderness and plundering the population in the suburbs. Each one of them was about to become a cancer like the warlords.
Su Xia temporarily ignored Wang Teng and continued to check the map, flying very fast.
Time passed and soon it was half past five in the afternoon.
During this period, Su Xia had already left the urban area and was already in the wilderness area between Coral City and Seahorse City.
Just as he was about to log off to have dinner, some flashing dots suddenly appeared on the map.
"Huh? There are still players in a place like this?"
Su Xia slowed down and began to slowly lower the altitude.
Normally, there shouldn't be any players in this area deep in the wilderness, and normal players at this stage simply can't get here .
Soon, a shabby road appeared in Su Xia's vision, like a winding gray snake crawling on the ground.
On that road, there were several large trucks transporting goods.
In front and behind the truck were military green pickup trucks, each with five or six players armed with weapons sitting in it.
"So they were on a mission... a player from Kaiba City."
Escort missions are one of the most popular missions at this stage and are very suitable for the players' undead characteristics.
If you are lucky, you won't encounter any danger along the way. You can chat and laugh with your teammates, enjoy the scenery, and get a generous reward when you arrive at the destination city.
But the luck of this group of players was obviously not good enough, as they encountered robbers.
"stop!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout, and then dozens of fully armed robbers jumped out from the bushes on both sides of the road.
The players instantly became nervous and picked up their weapons to confront the robbers on both sides.
In terms of numbers and weapons and equipment, the players are at a slight disadvantage.
But they can be resurrected infinitely and use their lives to consume the opponent's ammunition.
From high in the sky, Su Xia could see clearly that the robbers who appeared were only a small part, and there was another part hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack and interrupt the players' attack and defense rhythm.
A very small number of robbers also carried metal cages, and the meaning was quite obvious.
The people of this world have already summed up the experience of dealing with the undead. They know that players are most afraid of being imprisoned, so they often bring cages during battles to disrupt the players' psychological defenses.
"These robbers are smart. The players are at a huge disadvantage and will be defeated quickly."
After a brief analysis, Su Xia roughly calculated the process and outcome of this battle.
At the same time, the players below also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Something's wrong!" The leading player's face changed. "Look at their armbands, they are bloody skulls. They are Wang Teng's men!"
"Wang Teng? The king of mercenaries?"
"Damn it, how could I be so unlucky!"
“…”
If they encounter an ordinary mercenary organization, their team of players can still fight.
But the people coming now are Wang Teng’s people, the most powerful mercenary force in this wilderness. Even if only a part of them comes, they are not something the players can resist.
Their battle was doomed to fail, and giving up now was the best option.
The leader of this player team gritted his teeth and had to give up.
"Let's go, the mission has failed!"
The other party did not take direct action, obviously having some concerns about them, so he showed up directly, revealing a bloody skull armband, forcing them to give up voluntarily.
In this way, no one will die on either side.
"Boss, are we really leaving?" Someone in the player team refused to give up. "This is the last part of the mission. If we give up, our efforts for the whole week will be wasted!"
"What else can I do if I don't leave?"
The boss clenched his fist, looked around, and said through gritted teeth, "They are the people of the big boss Wang Teng. Even the masked weirdo who has been very popular recently doesn't dare to confront Wang Teng head-on. We have no choice."
"The Coral City officials are so despicable that they are colluding with these mercenaries!"
"None of the human administrators in our Kaiba City would do such a thing."
The players in the team were extremely unwilling and angry, but there was nothing they could do.
The incident in Coral City caused a lot of uproar and affected players in the surrounding cities. During this period of time, no one knew how many people were secretly cursing that bastard Sijidao.
At this time, the leader of the convoy came running over, sweating profusely, and asked, "What are you doing? Protect the goods quickly! Those damn mercenaries are coming!"
"I'm sorry, we..."
"You guys want to leave?" The person in charge shuddered. "You can't leave. What will I do if you leave? We signed a contract!"
"Call the drivers and come with us. The mercenaries only want the goods."
“No, no…”
The person in charge had a painful look on his face. He pointed at the truck in front of him and shook his head. His voice was trembling. “These goods are my life. How can I leave?”
The players in the team were silent for a moment. It was indeed wrong of them to violate the contract.
Seeing the person in charge so upset, they felt bad too.
At this moment, Su Xia's body suddenly appeared on top of the truck. He sat on it with his legs dangling outside. He smiled and said, "It's just a few truckloads of frozen meat. You won't lose your life, will you?"
"Of course it's necessary. These truckloads of frozen meat belong to me..."
Before the person in charge could say anything, his eyes widened, and he suddenly realized something. He looked at Su Xia on the roof of the truck and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
"I was just passing by." Su Xia replied with a smile, "I was traveling and found that there was a lot of excitement here, so I came over to take a look."
"Travel...travel?"
The person in charge swallowed and looked around.
This is a desolate wilderness with monsters roaming everywhere and dangers everywhere. Who would choose to travel this way?
