Starting from Zero

There is nothing to pay attention to when returning home, so I took the opportunity to go offline for a while. When I went online again, the fleet was already in the early morning of the second day, and the fleet had already entered Chinese territorial waters, and some Chinese guild fleets could be occasionally seen around, but the number was relatively small, and large troops generally would not stay in the inland waters or go out. The decisive battle of the sea patrol is either simply overhauling in the port.

I stood on the deck and looked at the sea in the faint morning light. Suddenly a peculiarly shaped boat attracted my attention. This is a quadrimaran, to be precise, a rectangular structure connected by four ships. The four supporting ships are all very large, and the superstructures have all been dismantled. There are neither island bridges nor masts on the huge and wide deck, nor even weapons. If a ship of this size is not equipped with any weapons, it must have other uses.

I found the thing they carried in the middle of the four ships. This is a large steel keel structure, its shape is like the four hypotenuses of a pyramid, and its four feet just fall on four ships. There are some more complicated structures at the convergence point of the center of the reinforced keel, which looks like some gears and transmission devices. The four black threads hanging from the center stretched straight into the water, and it was obvious that there was something underwater. If you guessed it correctly, this should be a salvage vessel, and the tonnage is not small. The four supporting ships are all 10,000-ton ships, and the four together are definitely 100,000 tons, maybe more than 200,000 tons. Now, judging from the waterline, these ships seem to be carrying a lot of weight, the gauges are invisible, and they are obviously overloaded. The purpose of removing the island bridge is to reduce the load, so these ships are impossible to transport goods and have such a deep draft. The only explanation is that the hoisting cantilever above them is the real load. What is so heavy in the water? After removing the buoyancy of the water, how big is something weighing hundreds of thousands of tons?

There were a few battleships parked on the sea near the salvage ship to protect the ship among them. The purpose was obvious-to keep people away. It's strange that such a strange fleet can't be noticed.

"Warning! Signs of fire preparation are found, the whole fleet is in a Level 1 emergency." The horn on the Tyrant suddenly rang, which was operated by the NPC in the observation room. Sending out this alert means that the opponent's battleship has begun to load the artillery and began to aim at us. It's abnormal for a Chinese fleet to have such a tense atmosphere in China's territorial waters. They even aimed fire at us with the Chinese flag, obviously in their hearts.

Many of the crew of this fleet are pirate NPCs of the year. This sudden situation reacts super fast. Other NPCs are from the undead Legion, so they are also regular troops. Although they are transferred from the army, after all, the quality is Placed there. The fleet responded within 30 seconds of the alarm. The Tyrant and Eternity battleships all began to turn their turrets for fire aiming, and their automatic weapons also entered a state of preparation.

"Don't fire, maybe it's a misunderstanding." The first sentence I rushed to the bridge was to stop the shooting. Maybe the opponent was just doing an important task and was overly nervous.

"President, we will lose a lot if we do not fire at such a close distance."

"Order the small battleship to move to the right side of the fleet, and set the Tyrant and Eternity together. A large battleship is in front. I don’t believe they have the ability to penetrate the Tyrant’s armor plate."

"Understood."

Our fleet is beginning to change. The armor is compared. The thick large battleships are all concentrated on the left side of the fleet to form a Defensive Array line. In order to ensure that if the opponent fires, we can immediately fight back, and the speed of the fleet also begins to drop, which makes it easier for us to aim.

The opposing fleet also began to change its actions relative to us. All battleships gathered here to confront us, and the salvage ship was blocked behind and became the object of protection. This action makes us more nervous.

While holding the telescope, I said: "Come on to the king, order to start the chameleon system." The so-called chameleon system is an optical stealth system from the black octopus clan, but we have made a little improvement and now it is practical. The finished product is the chameleon system. Although it can't be completely invisible, the battleship will turn into the transparent feeling of plexiglass, which is difficult to find if you don't pay attention. Moreover, even if the two sides are very close, this thing can also reduce the opponent's hit rate by 20%.

The other party was very surprised at our changes, but all they did was just pointed at us with a barrel. The two battleships confronted each other in such a tense atmosphere, and our fleet slowly approached them until it reached a critical point and the distance began to gradually increase. Seeing that we were gradually moving away, the opponent's weapons still did not relax their vigilance, until we left the opponent's fire range, they turned the muzzle away and restored the circular protective formation.

Hong Yue looked at the direction of those ships and said, "Don’t you think it’s weird?"

Chuang Wang also nodded and said: "Yes. How can I see the Chinese fleet like this? Nervous. Although the players on the land are very difficult to deal with, China’s maritime power has never had a fleet-level battle. After all, the naval warfare system is still focused on the outside world. But this fleet...has a problem!"< /p>

Lin Yue said: "It looks like I need to investigate. Unfortunately, I don’t have any battle strength anymore. Can you summon a few experts to explore the way?"

I stood up: "Don't you say this to let me go?"

Hong Yue also stood up. "I'll go with you."

"I haven't said whether or not to go!"

"Are you curious about something strange?"

"It's quite curious."

The king of Chuang said immediately: "You go! Come back and help us and talk about it, otherwise everyone will support it in their hearts."

"Okay! Hong Yue, let's go. Chuang Wang will take over the command until the fleet arrives at the port."

"Okay, you can go!"

With Hong Yue Get up to the bottom compartment of the Tyrant and find a speedboat like Atlantis. I rode up first, and Hong Yue replaced her Divine Item outfit with the order suit for the meeting and rode up. She patted my helmet to signal that I was ready to go. As soon as I pressed the switch, the speedboat jumped out.

When I pulled the handle, the speedboat flew off the surface of the water, and then I pressed the bow in the air, the speedboat tilted forward, and plunged into the water when it entered the water. This is a special water entry method for this kind of speedboat. Small speedboats do not have a buoyancy control system. They can only use hydrofoils like airplane wings to control the depth, so the hydrofoils will not work if the boat is not pressed into the water.

We drilled through the waterproof door at the bottom of the ship and turned around and leaned towards the strange battleship. It is definitely not so easy to find our two-meter-long speedboat on such a large sea, not to mention that we are still underwater. The waves on the sea are our best cover. The track of the speedboat is quickly washed away by the waves, and no one wants to see us.

I quickly approached the outer guard fleet, and went straight to the center regardless of them. When I arrived next to the four Siamese boats, Hong Yue suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked, my hand moved the steering handle, and the speedboat made a big turn and almost flew out of the water.

"What are you doing?"

________________________________________

Hong Yue did not speak but pointed to the front. I looked at the line of defense, and there seemed to be something, it didn't look small.

"Underwater observation cabinets are sold in the port, specifically for non-combat players. But they seem to be using this thing as a sentry box for underwater checkpoints."

"Your eyes are so sharp."

"It's not that my eyes are sharp, but Xiaoye discovered it."

"Xiaoye?"

"My pet , The night spirit king, don’t you know? He is now at a higher level and can be in harmony with me. It is much more powerful than your phantom."

"I protest your personal attacks." Phantom Suddenly stretched out a white body and shook desperately in protest.

I quickly pressed the Phantom back. "What do we do now?"

"Anyway, we are going to see what they are fishing, and just go down. They are impossible to connect that thing to the seabed, right?"

"That's it." Started the speedboat again and rushed underwater.

The opponent's reconnaissance post only stretched for more than 30 meters and then disappeared. We try to get closer to the center. Only when I got to the front did I see that it was not a cable but a chain hanging under the huge hanger. Each ring of the giant chain is the size of a door, and the steel bars that make these rings are thicker than my waist. Bundling me and Hong Yue together is probably about the same thickness as these steel bars.

In this way, the following things are not as heavy as I thought at first, after all, these chains themselves should be tens of thousands of tons. There are a total of four chains that have come down now, and they are not much separated from each other. This shows that there is still a lot of depth below, or that the thing itself is not big.

As we continued to descend, a rectangular steel frame appeared in our sight. The four chains below are actually connected to the four corners of the steel frame. There are some gears and transmission mechanism inside the steel frame, which also looks like a winch. Six chains extended from under the steel frame and continued to extend downwards until they were completely surrounded by darkness.

"It's dark below, do you want to turn on the lights?" I asked Hong Yue.

"No. I can get dark vision with Xiaoye, and you seem to be able to see at night, so we still don’t turn on the lights to avoid exposing the target."

"That’s good , We continue to dive."

As the water depth increases, the surrounding area gets darker and darker, but this does not affect our actions. According to at first's estimation, this is near the continental shelf, and the depth will not be too great, but what we didn't expect was that we found a large trench down the chain. The map speaking of which in "Zero" is modeled on reality, but the seabed map itself is not complete, and Long Yuan has no way of comparing it, so the oceanic landforms are almost all wrong. This trench here should not exist in reality, otherwise we should know it.

The chain has been deep into the dark trench, and we have to follow the chain to continue downward. "Pay attention over there." Hong Yue suddenly pulled my arm, and we performed the sharp turn again, and a giant rare beast rushed past us like a lightning bolt. We are only two or three meters away from the mouth that it suddenly closed.

The guy missed a hit and immediately turned around and rushed up again. I rushed out of a water whirlpool in the shape of a dragon in a beckoned small dragon girl. The big guy rushed up without fear when he saw the small dragon girl, but he went everywhere without a fight. Monstrous is almost a fish, but it is very big and has a strange shape. Deep-sea creatures are a little stranger. But a fish is a fish after all, no matter how big it is, it's not a powerful thing, and it escaped by being riddled with scars in twos or twos.

After the guy ran away, there were no monsters around us who dared to approach us. Small dragon girls always circled around us. Those monsters followed all the way but didn’t approach. The types of creatures below are really scary, and many images that you can only see in nightmares appear in this deep sea area. There is a double-headed octopus. I don’t know what it is, but it looks like an octopus and has two heads. Originally, this guy planned to attack us, but when it approached, it was sucked in by something suddenly protruding from the edge of the cliff, and then he didn't show up again. What a dangerous trench.

As the depth continued to increase, suddenly a big squid appeared in front of her, and the small dragon girl made a threatening posture, but the thing still rushed up. The small dragon woman and the guy tangled and wrestled into a ball. I wanted to help but I didn’t know how to intervene. Suddenly remembered that deep-sea animals are afraid of glare. "Hong Yue, do you know how to illuminate?"

Hong Yue replied surprised: "I am the Dark Mage?"

This obviously means no, and I can’t summon here. Xiaochun! By the way, there are steel claws. Quickly get the steel claws out, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately jumped on it. The squid had only sixteen tentacles, and there were more steel claws than it. The tentacles of both sides immediately tangled together and no one could move, but the small dragon woman was saved. The small dragon girl who had regained her freedom was very angry, and her body was lit up with green rays of light. "Divine Dragon dissociation technique."

This is the first time I have seen a small dragon female use a direct offensive spell. It was just the green light flashed that one of the squid’s unfathomable mystery tentacles fell off, and the steel claws didn’t react to why the opponent’s tentacles suddenly broke, but he didn’t care so much, and threw off that tentacles to attack its main body.

The dissociation technique of the small dragon girl does not seem to be over. The squid's tentacles start to break one by one, and finally become a bare bald scoop. Steel Claw immediately wrapped his tentacles around the big guy, and then tore the guy alive. A large swath of black ink sprayed like a bomb, and nothing was visible around it.

When the ink disperses, there are only some suspended minced meat and some small monsters rushing to eat. In the deep sea, energy is very precious, and waste is shameful.

Continuing downwards, various large-scale monsters begin to appear, and they are getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the seabed monster will always be bigger than the sea surface. But although these deep-sea monsters are large, they are not as active as the monsters in the middle water. The big monsters here are basically floating at a very slow speed, it feels like they are like magnified aquarium fish, floating leisurely. But it turns out that these big guys are still very offensive, but they never chase their prey, as long as something floats into its attack range, it will be swallowed immediately.

Compared with the above things, these monsters are safer, as long as you don't get close to them.

The chain continued to go down and began to appear strange, we actually found light below. The area with light is not large, only about the area of ​​a football field, and people can obviously be seen there. Our side is darker, they can't see us, but we can see them clearly. These people are wearing all kinds of armors, and they all seem to be armors with air lock capabilities. Although diving armor is not very difficult to make, it is by no means casually available, not to mention so many.

Those people seem to be digging something in the water. Some people are holding the end of the chain and hanging on something, which seems to be familiar.

"A battleship?" Hong Yue recognized the thing first.

I watched it carefully for a long time, and it was indeed a battleship. But a large amount of metal precipitation has completely changed this thing. The corpse on the sea will quickly decay and flush away, and the seabed sunken ship will be similar. Unless it is a shipwreck for a mission, the system will quickly cover the sediment on the ship and then flush it away. This seems to be a new battleship, not a mission ship, which means that this guy has not sunk for a long time. The more I look at it, the more I feel like a Japanese ship, the bee waist structure is not like the Chinese design.

Suddenly remembered that the last time I came back from Japan, I encountered a strange Chinese fleet and asked us about the Japanese camouflage ship. Could it be this ship? It feels that the location is similar, and the ship type and size are also consistent. It is very likely that this is the Japanese camouflage ship that was sunk by us last time. So why did these Chinese guilders salvage this Japanese ship?

"Look there." Hong Yue pointed to the stern part.

The tail section of the ship was blown up by our shells, and this place is now a big hole. Many players come in and out here seem to be looking for something. But what can they find? With such a large tonnage boom, it takes such a lot of manpower and material resources to salvage the entire ship. What can it be?

Analyze according to the current situation. First of all, this thing must be very heavy, or else you wouldn't use such a big boom. Secondly, this thing is very important or very valuable, otherwise it will not be so troublesome to salvage. Finally, this thing came from China, and the Japanese needed it very much. The camouflage ship that day did not want to attack us but wanted to take this thing away. Wouldn't it be too simple to meet so many conditions? I'm going to see what is so important.
