That's a submarine.
The total length is about 90 meters. The displacement cannot be seen, but it must be more than 1,000 tons.
Like a sea-fixing needle, it was deeply embedded in the rugged stone wall.
Most of the surface is covered by unknown algae, and the cracks are cemented with the remains of soft-bodied creatures. The rust mottled the iron sheet, but did not remove the white paint that symbolized its identity.
He stretched out his hand and touched the cold iron wall through his gloves.
Gently brushing against the soft and slippery seaweed, Jiang Chen murmured the line of dead characters.
"U-235?"
If he remembered correctly, there should be only one series of submarines with numbers beginning with U in the world—German U-boats.
Jiang Chen is not a military fan. His understanding of this thing basically comes from a British World War II documentary and several Hollywood movies.
Those ghosts active below the sea level haunted the Allied forces like nightmares, tormenting merchant ships and transport ships sailing in the Atlantic. Tearing apart the supply lines between the free world and the British Isles, and constraining the Allied maritime power.
It was not until Germany surrendered in 1945 that these submarines sank and landed.
"A legacy from the Third Reich? The source of the signal comes from within?"
Jiang Chen pushed the submarine shell with his hand, and used the reaction force to move back a short distance, and looked at the entire submarine through the light above his head.
After all, after being soaked underwater for so many years, the surface of the submarine was severely corroded. Fortunately, the overall structure of the submarine is still intact and it should not disintegrate while exploring the interior.
When it fell into the trench, the submarine must have suffered a strong impact. Just from the outside, you can see several dents and leaking cracks left by the impact.
Along the outside of the submarine, Jiang Chen swam to the submarine deck.
The barrel of the 88mm deck gun was knocked into a curved shape, and a creature somewhat similar to a sea shrimp lived in the barrel.
Without disturbing the little guys, Jiang Chen bypassed the rotten cannon and swam directly to the entrance of the submarine.
Unfortunately. The iron gate was rusted to death.
Jiang Chen, who did not have electric welding equipment, had to give up the iron gate and look for other entrances.
The goddess of luck favored him again. About five meters away from the submarine's torpedo launch port, Jiang Chen found a crack about one person wide.
Look at the dark interior space. Jiang Chen swallowed, took out an underwater flare from his waist and threw it in.
The orange-red light illuminated the interior space of the submarine, and after confirming that no dangerous sea creatures were ambush inside, Jiang Chen swam in.
"What are these?" He couldn't help but muttered as he looked at those large black containers.
His intuition told him. There must be something extraordinary inside.
In addition to those containers containing unknown contents, Jiang Chen also found several skeletons wearing Nazi uniforms. These skeletons were lying quietly in the corner of the ship's cabin. Their flesh had been eroded by scavengers. The hollows of the skeletons were blocked with seaweed, making them look disgusting.
For safety reasons, Jiang Chen did not open the containers immediately. Instead, he searched for the source of the signal and moved deeper into the cabin.
Fortunately, those hatches were not closed when the submarine sank, otherwise they would have been rusted to death. It’s really hard to handle.
"Right in front?"
The picture on the screen on his right arm was completely clear. Jiang Chen locked his eyes on the signal strength mark on the upper right side of the screen. Through the weak signal strength difference, he made it clear that he was gradually approaching the signal source.
"What is this submarine used for? Is it for transportation?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain after glancing at the containers stacked along the way.
At this moment, he felt a vibration on his right arm, which came from the E under the diving suit.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the screen of the mechanical exoskeleton's right arm and switched to the E interface.
[Environmental radiation index: 5]
radiation? Where did the radiation come from
Jiang Chen frowned, but he didn't take it to heart. Although this amphibious mechanical exoskeleton does not include radiation protection materials. But the iodine stored in E is still enough to hedge against this level of radiation. What's more, compared to the amount of radiation in the apocalypse, this level of "low radiation" can be described as drizzle.
But what confused him was why radiation was detected on this U-boat.
Passed through an open hatch. This should be the room where the signal source is located.
Jiang Chen once again took off a flare from his waist and threw it into the center of the room, decorating the entire room into an orange-red world.
There are two large wooden boxes on display in the room. The wooden exterior has rotted, and one of the wooden boxes is open.
After dimming the searchlight on his helmet, Jiang Chen leaned towards the wooden box.
The wooden box contained five cylinders of unknown material. It is also marked with the words "Japanese Army". There are crystal clear eggs attached to the wall behind the wooden box, which look a bit like octopus eggs. However, I don’t know if some kind of mutation has occurred under the weak radiation. These eggs are a bit abnormal in terms of size and shape. .
"Enriched uranium? No... Historically, Germany should not have been able to build an atomic bomb. In that case, should it be uranium compounds? Or uranium whose purity has not yet reached weapons grade?" Floating next to the cylinder, Jiang Chen Said to himself.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen threw all the cylinders into the storage space.
A rough estimate is that these nuclear materials must weigh at least more than 500 kilograms. It can produce radioactivity and should have been initially purified. Although I don’t know what the market price of these items is, it shouldn’t be an exaggeration to sell them for hundreds of millions of dollars on the black market.
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to sell this thing.
After destroying all the mutated octopus eggs, Jiang Chen continued to search the room.
In the corner of the room, he finally found the source of the signal.
The black suitcase was locked.
Jiang Chen threw it into the storage space first, preparing to study it carefully after getting ashore.
However, at this moment, a black shadow was projected onto the wall in front of Jiang Chen.
With a warning sign in his heart, Jiang Chen suddenly activated the propulsion device of the cylinder behind him.
The high-pressure gas spurted out instantly. With the propulsion of the reaction force and the cover of a large number of small bubbles, Jiang Chen rushed to another corner of the room.
boom!
Like a hammer, a tentacle struck the bulkhead hard, making a shocking dent in the iron shell.
That figure turned out to be a giant octopus!
After the huge body squeezed into the door, it blocked the exit.
Thinking of the octopus eggs that he smashed, Jiang Chen finally understood why this guy was so angry.
I think this mutated octopus is the mother of those little freaks.
"Fuck."
Cursing secretly, Jiang Chen quickly pulled out the underwater pistol from his waist.
However, before he could shoot, four tentacles came over like pythons and clamped down on his limbs.
Jiang Chen's face flushed red and he worked his muscles to the limit, but the thick tentacles remained motionless. When caught by a living creature, he really didn't dare to risk initiating time travel. The size of this octopus was much larger than the lead mutant last time. It would take more energy to inactivate all the cells in its body. Don't know how much it will cost. He didn't want to risk the time-travel bracelet overheating again by playing that dangerous trick.
The toxin-laden ink spurted out, but it had no effect on Jiang Chen, a human who didn't use gills to breathe.
"Go crazy!"
A fierce light suddenly appeared in his pupils, and the muscles in his body tensed to the limit.
Jiang Chen squeezed the gun tightly, broke away the powerful tentacles, and pulled the trigger before the octopus moved its mouth full of horny jaws like blades towards him.
boom!
Accompanied by several dull gunshots and strings of bubbles as dense as peas.
The special ammunition penetrated the octopus's head hard.
Blue blood floated out, blooming into purple light and shadow under the orange-red light.
Without the leisure and grace to appreciate this scene, Jiang Chen squeezed the trigger tightly, venting the murderous intention in his heart.
The tentacles and hands tightly bound to his limbs gradually lost their strength.
The magazine was almost empty before the fierce creature lost its voice. (.)
