Chapter 416 Biological Submarine
"Holy shit, what the hell is this?"
The researcher was in a daze because he saw something very strange. This is not some technical equipment, but a complete living organism. The pink tissue seems to be still active, and its surface is moving open and close, and it looks like it is breathing. Just when we were staring at this thing in a daze, the thing suddenly twitched, and then began to move faster and faster.
"Damn it! Quick, quick, lower the slipway!" I shouted as I pulled the researchers around me and ran out. At the same time, I shouted to the people on the console in the distance: "Open the gate and let the sea water in, quick. !”
Although it is a cooperative relationship, this is not my territory after all. Although my voice attracted attention, no one really listened to my words and did anything. Fortunately, the guy I was carrying reacted and shouted too. stand up.
Because this player is the chief technical staff here, his words carry a lot of weight. As soon as he started shouting, the people around him immediately started to move. These people shouted and started running. As the slipway was descending, the technicians who were originally preparing to work jumped down one after another, and then rolled and crawled out. As soon as the last person touched the gate on the stairs at the edge of the slipway, he opened it on his own. Sea water immediately poured into the slipway, and the last person who came up was even chilled by the sea water.
Although these Japanese players and NPCs moved very quickly, many people actually didn't know what was going on. At this time, the manager who had taken the lead and other support staff also ran over.
"Excuse me, what happened just now?" the leading manager asked.
Before I could speak, the chief technician I had just brought out explained: "Creature. There is a living creature in that submarine, and it is an aquatic animal. We raised the slipway and caused the creature to become hypoxic. It has begun to twitch and struggle, so we quickly asked you to release it. There must be a reason why the other party arranged such a thing in the submarine. If this creature can be kept alive, it will definitely have great research value. "
I nodded and said, "That's why I asked you to quickly open the gate and release the water. If that thing dies, we will lose a big research subject."
"Yes, yes, what President Ziri said makes sense, so we must ensure that this creature lives."
I looked at the surrounding environment, and then said: "It seems that the research progress cannot be carried out. We need to ensure that this creature is safe first. Don't go into the water first, I will go and see this creature."
Those Japanese players and NPCs are all technicians. The creature in this submarine looks like a large creature at first glance. Although I don't know if it is a combat creature, the size of this thing is there. The body that is more than one hundred meters long does not look like the type that can be manipulated casually. It may not be a problem for combat players, but it is not so safe for these technicians.
I told the Japanese not to go down yet, and I dived into the water with Adina and Shana. As an Atlantean mermaid, Adina has a deep understanding of most common sea tribes. So the identification of this kind of creature should be helpful. Shana is Poseidon's sister and a demigod herself, and she has a relatively detailed understanding of the large sea beasts in the abyss. With the two of them together, it would be more troublesome if they still can't determine the origin of this thing. Among the people I can think of, Poseidon himself probably knows some sea creatures that neither of them know.
No matter what, you still need to see it first before talking about it.
After summoning the magic pet, we plunged into the water. Because the sea water below is not completely filled. Therefore, the bottom of the submarine has not completely risen, but because the slipway has not been completely lowered, there are still some gaps underneath.
I quickly swam to that thing with Shana and Aina. At this time, the creature had calmed down again. It was obvious that the lack of oxygen had caused the creature to struggle continuously. Now the infusion of seawater has given it the ability to breathe, thus restoring it to its previous state.
After confirming that this thing was temporarily stable, I tentatively touched it. It turned out that this thing had no response at all. In order to determine the safety of this thing, I simply poked this guy with Eternity. Anyway, if it really moved, I could summon a large magic pet to suppress it, but I was not afraid of it rioting.
The result was completely different from what I imagined. This thing seems to be dead. I stabbed the thing down with one shot, and the muscles only contracted where it was hit, but there was no sign of any struggle. The muscle contraction indicates that the thing feels pain, but it does not struggle, which is strange.
Because my attack power was too high, I was worried that I would be stabbed to death if I hit it a few more times, so I didn’t dare to try again. Since this thing doesn't resist much, you can check it out boldly.
After wandering around this thing underwater for a few times, we first determined the shape of this thing. The shape of this thing is very strange, but it is normal. After all, there are many strange-looking creatures in the ocean. The shape of this thing is just a little strange, not too exaggerated.
First of all, its main part is similar to the shape of a tadpole. Of course, they are not just as big as tadpoles, they are just similar in shape. The remaining part of this thing is more than a hundred meters long. A tadpole this big must be a mutated monster.
Although the main body is shaped like a tadpole, this thing also has some things that the tadpole does not have. For example, it has eight legs. The legs have a structure similar to that of a reptile, but have webbed fingers underneath, a structure apparently reserved for aquatic creatures.
In addition to eight legs, this thing should also have a big tail, but now all we can see is a small piece of flesh. As for the rest...just ask Black Flame! He killed half of the submarine in one bite, and the tail was probably eaten together. Anyway, that guy is not afraid of spoiling his stomach and dares to swallow anything.
Although I haven't seen the whole tail, I can probably imagine that it should be similar to the shape of a tadpole's tail, which is slender and has vertical fins.
On the front of this thing we find its mouth. This thing has a big mouth, but I don't know if it has teeth. Because we don’t dare to go over and tell people’s stories. Who knows if this thing has a tongue like a frog. If it does, I don’t want to be swallowed.
In addition to these basic findings, we also confirmed that this thing is entirely pink and has no scales. Skin is like rubber, somewhat elastic, but also very tough.
After confirming the major transformation of this thing, we also discovered some strange things. First of all, there were several large holes punched through the back of this thing. At least twenty steel beams with a diameter of more than two meters penetrated directly into the body of this creature through these large holes. It seemed that they were directly fixed on its spine. superior. This is probably a real man-made modification, the purpose is to perfectly integrate this creature and the submarine into one. After all, normal creatures will not be willing to take this submarine with them. So we can only make a row of holes in it, and then use steel beams to connect the hull keel and this guy's body.
In addition to these steel beams, there is a circle of metal fixing frames outside this guy's body that look like human ribs. These things firmly lock the monster's body, making it completely integrated with the hull and unable to escape.
The above are all fixed, but that's not all. Because there are still a lot of pipe connections between this guy and the hull.
The first thing we found was a round pipe about two meters thick. The outside of this pipe is wrapped with a metal pressure ring, and the inside is hollow. We followed the pipe all the way up to find the equipment connected to the pipe, and what we saw turned out to be an air compressor.
After a simple analysis, we roughly guessed the function of this tube.
The oxygen content of seawater in deep sea areas is very low, so unless it is the kind of creature that has always lived here. Most large sea animals cannot fully obtain oxygen supply in this place, and will suffocate over time. In order to extend the time of underwater activities. Therefore, large sea beasts have basically evolved something similar to a swim bladder. Sea animals can move in shallow water and rely on their gills to extract oxygen from seawater, but this oxygen is not completely supplied to the body. The body oxygen consumption of these big guys is not high, and the oxygen content of sea water in shallow sea areas is very high. Only a small amount of the oxygen produced after the exchange is used for breathing, and most of it is injected into this swim bladder-like organ in the form of pure oxygen and stored.
When sea beasts dive into the anoxic zone of the deep sea, the fish's gills can still provide them with a small amount of oxygen, and the insufficient part is extracted from the swim bladder, so that these big guys can stay in the deep sea for a long time. Most sea animals can use this method to stay in the deep sea for several days without surfacing, because they bring their own oxygen bottles.
Judging from the location, the pipeline on this submarine is probably directly inserted into the oxygen bag of this sea beast. As long as the submarine does not enter an anoxic area such as the bottom of a trench, in most cases the creature's gills can provide a large amount of oxygen to the hull. In this way, the submarine is equivalent to carrying a huge scuba. Without going to the deep sea, it can continue to submerge without worrying about oxygen problems at all. Even some equipment such as combustion chambers that require oxygen can use the oxygen generated by this oxygen generating device to work underwater. In this way, this submarine You can still get sufficient oxygen supply even if you don't float, which is definitely a pretty awesome design.
In addition to this thing, we also found a very thick pipe on the top of the sea beast's head. This one contains some cables, not pipes. But there is indeed a relatively thin pipe in the center of these cables, but this thinness is compared to other pipes. This thing is actually thicker than my wrist.
Following the cables up, we quickly discovered that these things were routed separately inside the submarine. The final connection point of the pipe is in a cabin behind the control room, where we found the device for connecting the pipe. This is a high-pressure injection device, and connected behind it is a transparent tank that is five meters high and more than two meters in diameter. There is still more than half of the bright yellow liquid in this big tank, and there are even some small refill tanks next to it. Because it was inconvenient to open underwater, we looked at other pipes first.
We finally found the location of those pipes, and a huge part of them was in the control room. Judging from the markings on the buttons on the console, the function of these cables was to control the body of the creature. This cable seems to be inserted directly into the brain of the creature. Through the control of electrical signals, the creature can work according to the control switch. It turns out that the creature's legs are not decorations. Through the console, we found that the legs of this thing can extend out of the submarine. In other words, it can really walk on the seabed.
The buoyancy of water determines that this kind of submarine will not be too heavy underwater. This sea beast can carry it and crawl on the bottom of the sea. This way of sailing will be absolutely silent, at least our listeners will not think this is the case. It's the sound of a submarine sailing. Because the difference in voiceprint characteristics is too big.
In addition to providing oxygen to the submarine, this thing can also provide the submarine with silent navigation capabilities. And judging from the control keys on the console, this creature can actually use its tail to assist navigation, and this thing can also provide water depth control functions for submarines. The submarine itself has no water pressure chamber at all, and the floating and submerging are all controlled by the sea beast below. No wonder there is so much space inside the submarine. It turns out that the most space-consuming parts are completely missing. So there is a lot of space left.
In the process of looking for where the lines went, we suddenly discovered that the support beams connected to its back did not actually fully support the frame, because they also had pipes on them. The lines connected by these pipes are finally concentrated on a large device inside the submarine, but we don't know what this thing does. However, through the devices connected to this device, we quickly figured out the functions of these things.
The results are quite astonishing.
This submarine actually has two power systems, one of which is magic crystal power, and the other is electric. Yes, you read that right, this submarine is equipped with an electric motor. It can rely on electricity to drive the main thruster forward. However, it can be judged from the winding of the motor at this point that the output power of this thing is not large, which means that if this set of electric equipment is used, the speed will not be too high.
The device whose purpose we are confused about is the device connected to the electric motor, by our backward reasoning. This thing should be a transformer and an electric shock device. But this thing is definitely not a generator, because there is no magic array conversion equipment, and there is no traditional generator structure. The result of our deduction is that the monster can actually discharge electricity. But the Frozen Banshee and the others used this device to collect the monster's electricity, and then stored the electricity directly in the battery and powered the motor. In this way, the submarine can rely on this electric motor to push the propeller forward when it does not need to sail at high speed. In this way, the money for the magic crystal is left. In other words, this set of equipment gives the submarine the ability to sail without cost. After all, the electricity comes from monsters, and monsters can eat creatures in the sea to replenish energy. In this way, the submarine can cruise without magic crystals. and. In the event that a situation occurs where the submarine cannot return to the port for resupply for a very long time, at least the submarine can still run back on its own relying on this electric equipment. Considering the previous oxygen system, the endurance of this submarine is even worse than that of a nuclear submarine. As long as the people inside bring enough food and fresh water, this thing can never float.
This submarine is simply a weapon for long-term lurking, secret infiltration, and ocean warfare. I don’t know how difficult it is to produce, and the monster has been tortured so badly. I don’t know how long it will last. If you need to replace it after a while, then this one It's not very cost-effective.
After roughly confirming that this thing can get electricity, we found a lot of electrical appliances along this power storage device. Of course, they were all very simple things, but at least we were sure that this submarine could really be used.
It was more than two hours after we roughly checked the structure of this thing. It was already noon. When we came out, many players and NPCs were eating. However, there were still some players who were not online and were probably offline eating. went.
Several Japanese players came over as soon as they saw us coming out of the water, but what surprised me was that Masamoto Matsumoto also came over.
"Matsumoto Masaru-kun, why are you here too?" I said deliberately politely.
Masamoto Matsumoto also pretended to be more formal and said: "I received a report that you found a valuable creature in that Russian submarine, so I came to take a look. What do you think? Look at what you just saw from below. Come out, have you figured out the situation of that creature?"
I put a compressed steel cylinder that looked like a large gas tank on the ground and said, "This is the only thing that was not checked."
"What is this?" Masamoto Matsumoto asked, looking at the jar without any markings.
I shrugged and said, "I don't know, I need to check."
The Japanese player next to him looked at the seal and said: "This thing looks like a high-pressure container. It cannot be opened directly, otherwise it will spray everywhere."
"Squirt it out, there's a lot down there anyway," I said.
"But what if there is danger?" the Japanese player asked worriedly.
"This thing is a solution that was injected into the monster's body. Although the specific ingredients are not yet sure. But I feel that it is probably a sedative or something like that."
"sedative?"
I nodded and said: "The monster below has been completely transformed. The monster's respiratory system has been inserted into the submarine's oxygen conversion device, so that the monster has become an artificial scuba. Also, the monster's tail and feet They are all controlled and can be used to provide sailing power for this submarine. Although the speed will not be fast, it will definitely be very quiet. Also, this submarine has no water pressure chamber and relies entirely on the monster below to control its ascent and descent. By the way , This monster’s body seems to be able to generate electrical energy. A transformer on the submarine is connected to the monster’s spine, and the transformer can also drive two sets of electric motors to drive the submarine, which is a completely free propeller.”
"Can it still be used like this? Aren't the monsters full of holes?" the Japanese player asked.
I patted the jar and said, "That's why I said this is probably a sedative! Otherwise, with that monster's state, it would be strange not to struggle."
"That's right." The Japanese player nodded.
Masamoto Matsumoto looked at me and said, "In that case, this thing shouldn't be very dangerous. Ziri, just open a bottle and take a look. Anyway, there are a lot of them down there."
Now that Matsumoto Masaru said so, other Japanese players naturally had no choice but to agree. Of course, even if you want to open it here, you can't open it directly. I summoned Jingjing to help use the Holy Shield skill to create a sealed barrier, and then pointed the jar opening to the inside of the barrier to open the opening.
Because I knew it was a high-pressure cylinder, there would definitely be a lot of recoil after opening it, so I asked Lucky to help hold the cylinder. The pressure turned out to be quite a lot, but the dragon's power still stabilized the bottle.
What comes out of the bottle is the light yellow liquid. We took a few samples for Japanese players who knew this to analyze, and the results quickly confirmed the use of this kind of thing.
This light yellow liquid is a sedative, and a powerful sedative, if it is a human. Just one drop will probably make you unable to sleep. Even a giant dragon can sleep for seven or eight hours with just two liters. And if you only need to numb the dragon for a short time, half a liter is enough.
After figuring out the function of this thing, we have a detailed understanding of this thing, but this submarine has become a problem.
Originally, we planned to dismantle this thing and get some technical materials to go back and study it, but now we find that the most valuable thing inside is actually a living monster, which is not easy to handle. We were able to tow it back with the protection of the hull before, but now that the hull is gone, it’s really hard to handle if something unexpected happens on the way, so we can only conduct research here temporarily. Fortunately, Matsumoto Zhenghe is one of ours, so there is no need to worry too much.
He directly raised the issue in front of so many people that it was not easy to take this thing back for study. Then Masamoto Matsumoto very smartly suggested that the two of us discuss how to solve this problem. Those Japanese players were also very happy with Matsumoto Masa's reaction, because they thought Matsumoto Masa was a very awesome guy, because he could bargain with me for benefits, while the previous ghost-hand Nobunaga could only be tricked to death by me. The difference between the two is really huge.
I borrowed the office here and started to have "secret talks" with Matsumoto Masaga. Of course, the secret talks were for outsiders to see. In fact, Matsumoto Masaga and I just talked about how to deal with this thing. Matsumoto Masaga occasionally raised something. Opinion.
Anyway, I can't get this thing back, so my arrangement is to establish a joint research group in the name of our Frost Rose Alliance and the New Black Dragon Society, and then study this thing here and on the spot. Of course, we in the Frost Rose Alliance must send people to support the research, but the main technical force is still from Japan. If the research success is shared by everyone, it means that all of them are successful. Anyway, the effect of copying the technical data is the same.
After discussing with me, Masamoto Matsumoto left the office and told the results to the Japanese players who were standing outside. Although the Japanese players did not have any change in their expressions after hearing the results, it could still be seen that they were very Excited, after all, it's like picking up a bargain. Of course, if it weren't for Matsumoto Masagi being a member of our Frost Rose Alliance, and because we originally planned to support Japan's strength, I wouldn't be so cheap to them.
After clearly explaining the handover task, we temporarily sealed off the place, and then did some processing on the submarine, mainly removing the equipment on it, but the keel could not be moved because this thing was directly connected to the monster's body. , it may kill this thing if opened, and it is very likely that this monster still has the ability to move. Once the restraint device is removed, there is no telling what will happen.
Of course, in addition to these, another thing to note is that this place needs to be renovated. Researchers cannot work at all if they are soaked in water like this. They need to drain the water here first, and then use several large watering equipment to continuously spray water on the gills of the fish. This way, the monster will not die even if there is no water. We You can also start researching.
Finally, and most importantly, there's that anesthesia device.
This monster is so stable because it is anesthetized. If the anesthesia device stops operating, this thing is likely to riot. Fortunately, the Russians are also afraid that problems with the anesthesia device will trap them, so the device itself is self-powered, even if Even if there is a problem with the hull, the monster can be continuously injected with anesthetics. However, we don’t have an anesthetic formula. The reserves on the ship can last up to two days based on the injection rate. If we can’t get it done by then, we’ll be in trouble.
After all the work was completed, I immediately left the port and just used the teleportation array in their port to go to Mount Fuji.
Essinger Mobile Fortress is still parked here, surrounded by an empty field that looks like a construction site. There are a lot of materials piled there, and there are many Japanese players transporting materials back and forth. It seems that this is the person arranged by Masamoto Matsumoto to help, but I am very worried about why the Essinger Mobile Fortress has not been repaired until now. It should not be so slow to enter!
"God of War, how is the Essinger Mobile Fortress doing now?"
"President, are you back? Our progress here is pretty good."
"The progress is good, why does it look like a big construction site outside? Are you planning to carry out large-scale construction?"
"No, that was a fixed device used to test the static jumping ability of Essinger Mobile Fortress. Now it is not being built, but being dismantled. We are actually ready."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry to the Arctic Ocean. Woma is probably waiting for you."
"Understood." (To be continued ~^~)
