<=""></> Because of the shape of the water drop, there is almost no resistance when it shuttles through the water. He could drive dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. Jiang Chen looked at the [Speed: 75 knots] on the speed meter.
"Good guy, judging from the speed alone, this damn thing can already beat the fastest submarine in the world." Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the speeding seabed beneath his feet.
He remembered that the fastest submarine in the world is currently the Russian P-class cruise missile nuclear submarine, with a maximum speed of 44.7 knots. And the speed of Shuidi No. 1 actually reached a terrifying 75 knots.
He just doesn't know how the legendary superconducting magnetic fluid submarine that is still under development compares with this "mount" under his crotch.
The reefs on the seabed are rugged, and the dark green seaweed is like a forest sea. Schools of colorful fish shuttle freely in the sea, jellyfish and squid dance to the accompaniment of bubbles, all of which are turned into glimpses on the wall of water droplets<="l">.
In addition, Jiang Chen also saw the legendary shark.
When the "water drop" passed by it, the big guy ignored the "water drop" as if he hadn't seen it. He turned around and disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.
As the depth gradually increases, the light from the sea becomes darker and darker, and the dark blue claustrophobic feeling becomes more and more obvious. Jiang Chen wasn't sure if he had a phobia of the deep sea, but he still turned off the wide-angle camera, leaving only the front, left, right, and back windows on the screen in front of him.
"Waterdrop No. 1, where have we been?"
"There are still 100 nautical miles to the target location."
100 nautical miles, which means there is about an hour left
Seeing that there was still a while left, Jiang Chen stood up and walked towards the living cabin.
The layout of the living cabin is very compact. There are two beds with nylon buckles on the left and right sides. If the bed is lifted, the table and wardrobe under the bed can be pulled out. He looked at the internal structure of the submersible with great interest. Jiang Chen ordered the submersible to wake him up after it arrived at the location, then got into the sleeping bag-like bed and took a nap.
After one hour. Under the soft ringtone, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
After getting out of bed. Returning to the cockpit, he turned his gaze to the control panel and his eyes widened in surprise.
Is this 7,500 meters under the sea
This bottomless darkness, this legendary restricted area of life.
In the entire area, the only thing that can be seen is the beam of light that shines from the front of the water droplet into the seabed. The black and shiny rocks reflected shimmering light under the light of the searchlight. The disturbed benthic creatures swam their cilia and slowly fled towards the surrounding darkness.
In addition to those strange-looking undersea creatures, fissures in the seafloor rock shell spurt out scorching bubbles from time to time. That dark red fire. It was like a volcano, brewing with terrifying energy.
At this time, a flat sea fish that was more than ten meters long slowly approached Shui Drop's side. There are no eyes on the saucer-shaped head, and the spike-shaped teeth look terrifying. It looked at the water drop curiously and touched it with its mouth. But soon it swam two meters away as if it was electrocuted, and escaped without looking back.
The static electricity repellent device on the surface of a water droplet can make most deep-sea creatures lose interest in it. On the one hand, this is to protect the safety of submersibles, and on the other hand, it is also to protect the safety of these seabed creatures.
Jiang Chen stopped playing and quickly distributed the mineral resources according to the marks on the map. Shuidi No. 1 was manually controlled and moved above the molybdenum-rich manganese nodule ore.
"Throw the mining module." After confirming the target location, Jiang Chen ordered in a deep voice.
"As ordered, Mr. Captain." the artificial intelligence replied politely.
Soon, the cylinder hanging at the bottom of the drop separated from the drop. A series of long and narrow bubble strings are discharged from the rear of the cylinder, pushing the fish-like cylinder to slowly float toward the target rock.
100 metres.
50 meters.
10 m.
The searchlight locked tightly on the cylinder, and Jiang Chen watched this scene intently<="l">.
Dark black rocks are embedded in gray-black mudstone, scattered across the landscape like a cobblestone road. I saw the cylinder slowly stopping above the black rock formations, and the engine behind it slowly turned off.
Jiang Chen glanced at the map on the screen and saw that the green dot marking the direction of the submersible had coincided with the red dot in the center of the mine point.
After a pause, Jiang Chen ordered in a deep voice: "Mining module. Expand!"
"As commanded."
A series of bubbles burst out from the bottom of the cylinder, and suddenly a graphene cable nail was dragged towards the seabed. The cable is straightened. Slowly the cylinder was pulled towards the ground and stopped about 3 meters near the seabed.
The cylinder slowly unfolded. The hatches on both sides slowly expanded outwards, releasing two missile-like objects. The missile is about 5 meters long and 1 meter in diameter. The tail is connected to the cylindrical inner cabin by a graphene tube.
I saw that after these two missiles separated from the cylinder, the warheads immediately sank, and a stream of water mist was sprayed from the tail, pushing the missiles into the seabed.
The warhead penetrated deeply into the rock mass.
Then something like a miracle happened!
The tail of the warhead suddenly exploded, exploding a string of bubbles and opening an arc-shaped top cover with a radius of about ten meters like an umbrella. The top cover slowly descended and buckled on the flat seafloor rock mass.
From a distance, it looks like a large cylinder connected by graphene tubes to two bowls upside down on the seabed.
"The mining module has been deployed, please deploy the transportation module."
The polite electronic sound sounded again, pulling Jiang Chen back from the shock of technology.
The so-called transportation module is actually four graphene guide rails and an ellipsoidal lifter. Due to the large size of these things, Jiang Chen did not carry them in the submersible. After all, there is such a thing as storage space, and it is really easy to bring objects to the bottom of the sea.
After anchoring Shuidi No. 1, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the end of the world and came to the backyard of the villa. It currently houses his Dolphin-10 and a bunch of graphene rails from the Sixth Street factory.
In a deep sea environment of more than 7,000 meters, it is difficult for ordinary materials to withstand such water pressure, so high-strength graphene materials come in handy.
After throwing these materials into the storage space, Jiang Chen returned to Shuidi No. 1 again.
Putting his hand on the hatch, his consciousness sank into the storage space. Soon, the dozens of bundled graphene rails were placed outside the cabin.
Then Jiang Chen followed the same pattern and traveled back and forth between the present world and the apocalypse several times, throwing all the building materials outside the water droplets.
After ordering Shuidi No. 1 to weigh anchor, Jiang Chen ordered the intelligent system to start construction, splicing the graphene guide rails and fixed buoys on top of the mining module according to the drawings in the memory.
He no longer needed to do the rest. Looking at the five hours of construction time, Jiang Chen yawned and returned to the living cabin.
All operations can be left to artificial intelligence.
As the captain, he only needs to go back to the living cabin to sleep and wait for the construction to be completed before returning to the ship. (.)<=""><=""><="">
