Mino adjusted the power output to the limit, the standby magic energy core provided energy to the propeller with maximum power, the airtight cabin discharged the sea water, and the "jellyfish" rose rapidly. Even under the condition of full operation, the operation of A-13 was still stable, the air flow sent out a slight whine through the valve, the pointer on the instrument panel jumped, and all values were within a reasonable range.
There is no doubt that this is indeed a sophisticated deep diving machine.
However, the underwater vibration caused by detonating the armored whale has brought a chain reaction. Sea water is an excellent sound conductor. The loss of sound wave transmission is smaller than that in air, so that deeper and farther sea people can find this target.
Soon, a large number of fish swam along with the sound.
"Damn it." Minogue stared at the console showing various conditions and suddenly cursed: "Misuo... There are casters among these damn sea strange fish."
As a successful graduate of Imperial military academy, even ordinary people are required to have the knowledge and ability to distinguish magic. When jellyfish A-13 loses its direction and the horizontal axis cannot be calibrated, Mino immediately notices that things are bad and tries his best to escape.
But it was still a step too late. At the depth of 800 meters, the submersible could no longer float. Some casters built a magic lock to close the sea area and block his way.
"The sea area above A-13 has been blocked. Please check with the headquarters."
He reported that his eyes were fixed on the fast approaching fish in the monitoring device. It seemed that these sea people worked together and regarded themselves as the inevitable prey.
Mino gritted his teeth. He knew very well that there was a dead end. He had no time to wait for the response of the headquarters. He simply decided to give it a go, no longer tried to float up, but operated the submersible and began to sink rapidly
——The oxygen supply tank is an enchanted equipment, which contains far more oxygen than expected. It can support him to move underwater for a long time. If he can sink into the seabed to avoid the sight of the sea family, he may have a chance to survive after the fleet is cleaned.
The sense of overweight suddenly disappeared, followed by the sense of weightlessness. Jellyfish A-13 was falling to the seabed, and the depth table was rising rapidly. Mino knew that if he was not in the jellyfish, the terrible water pressure in the deep sea would kill him directly. Only legendary soldiers could survive in this environment.
"Jellyfish A-13, Shuofeng is trying to unlock the mystery. It is expected to be cracked in a minute. Please prepare to return." at this time, it was not until the voice of the correspondent in the channel came late.
"I''m sinking to avoid the sea people," Mino reported. "If everything goes well, I hope to return after the cleaning is completed."
The other end of the communicator was silent. Obviously, the headquarters also understood the current situation of A-13. After a pause for a while, the channel responded: "received, Shuofeng will put ten thunder fish to assist you and keep in touch."
"Thunderfish" is an underwater precision guided weapon. Its prototype is the self exploding puppet fish of the southern empire. Its remote control, timing and fixed-point detonation characteristics have won Caesar''s favor. Therefore, after the painstaking research of the black wing Weapon Research Institute and repeated improvement, the goblins added more industrial attributes to it to make it more suitable for mass production. It was renamed "Thunder fish". Now this weapon has been equipped with the Imperial Navy Fleet on a large scale. The sailors call it "shadow killer" to describe its small, flexible and powerful.
"I see." hearing the arrangement of the headquarters, Minogue felt more secure.
After the Shuofeng had cracked the mystery lock, the torpedo soon arrived at the location of jellyfish A-13, and the submersible continued to sink, 1500... 1800... 2200
Normally speaking, now the sea people should stay in the shallow water and wait for the opportunity to attack the fleet at any time, but what Mino didn''t expect is that as he gradually sank to the bottom, the sea people emerging around him not only didn''t decrease, but increased. The deep sea, which should have been dark, gradually became bright. There was a clear light outside the observation window, and the color of the water was like flowing silver.
Thunder fish exploded around the submersible one after another to resist more and more attacking demon sharks and armored whales. Through the naked eye, Mino saw a crimson giant squid waving its touch arm, and the end of the touch arm was full of magic.
Obviously, it was this monster who built a maze lock in the sea area under the fleet from a vast distance.
Mino became uneasy, with a cold sweat on his forehead.
"Dong, dang..." the submersible was hit, and the ten thunder fish that sank with him were already exhausted. Here, he saw his original mission goal - the shoal of swordfish. Those sea people had long dart gun shaped strange mouths, slender bodies and extremely fast swimming speed, which flashed past in his field of vision.
"Dong ~" the stabbing of swordfish.
The submersible shook violently, the iron frame on the surface made a toothy sound, the surging water slapped on the shell of the jellyfish, and the whole sea area was stirred by the fish. The shoals of swordfish crossed the field of vision quickly, the huge Beatles appeared one after another, and a demon hunting shark also entered the monitoring range.
The dark steel tanks installed on both sides of jellyfish A-13 have been damaged. The steel wall of the deep-sea oxygen tank prepared by the Empire for jellyfish is several centimeters thick, and there are enchanting measures. However, it is still the most vulnerable part of this deep-sea weapon. It can''t stop the stabbing of swordfish. After being hit by the attack, it tore several openings, and the oxygen escaped from the cracks.
Mino suddenly realized why he immediately fell into a siege as soon as he was found. There were countless sea people, such as orcas, magic sharks... And even magic squid.
It turns out that this is the gathering place of the Hai nationality.
The slender figure swam in the clear sea. Its long tail swayed slowly and took action calmly. However, anyone can see that it can burst out at an amazing speed at any time and rush to the target like an arrow. It is a giant demon hunting shark covered with pale bone shells. It is difficult to imagine such creatures in the sea.
As soon as it appeared, other sea people consciously avoided it and looked like the leader of the demon hunting shark group.
"Kaka..."
The leader of the demon hunting shark stared at the jellyfish. He rushed over quickly, opened his mouth and bit the tail of the submersible, shook his cheeks and tore. The jellyfish shook violently, and the propeller made a broken vibrato. After a while, he loosened his mouth and threw the submersible away to the sharks waiting nearby. They teased and competed for and tore it like competing for prey.
Oxygen tank leakage, watertight tank leakage, transmission system failure, power failure... The alarm light on the console flashes like crazy. Mino knows that the submersible has lost its ability to return.
"A-13, we have received the distress signal from the submersible. Please report your situation." a rapid voice came from the communicator.
"It''s all right." Mino simply responded, and then unilaterally closed the contact with the headquarters. At this time, he guessed that these sea people might rely on sound vibration to locate themselves, so he groped to cut off the power source and closed all the valves, leaving only the magic pattern outside the jellyfish hidden and sinking like a stone.
Although he couldn''t return, he wanted to do something else before he was completely torn up.
3100... 3400... 4200... Light shone in from the porthole. He saw neat rows of deep-sea fish people, sharp toothed sea dragons, heavy acid squid exuding venom, and many unnamed species.
The pointer of the depth gauge shakes indefinitely. Jellyfish A-13 floats hard in the deep sea and tilts slightly. All kinds of lights on the dashboard flicker for a moment and then go out. The flickering magic core no longer works, and the cockpit is full of "whine" air flow sound. Mino knew that the early generation of the black wing Empire had made every effort.
Now, it fell asleep quietly.
He fell into his seat tired. The lack of oxygen made it difficult for him to move. He fumbled dully, found the independent single line contact in the cockpit and dialed: "new wind, this is A-13..."
It seems that he has understood his situation at this moment, and the quiet and indifferent correspondent''s voice seems to become gentle: "received, please speak."
"I have entered the hinterland of Hai nationality. Please locate my depth coordinates, clean the target, repeat, clean the target."
After a moment of silence, the voice at the other end of the communicator sounded: "it has been communicated to the headquarters. You..."
Mino, whose brain was short of oxygen, could not hear the other party''s response. He narrowed his eyes, said vaguely and selfishly, "I may not be able to go back this time. You... Need to refuel."
"... OK."
"For the Empire."
"For the Empire."
