Chapter 29: Indulge in the Deep Sea (List)
An hour later, Shetland Islands, the northernmost outpost of Pantoracken. The boat docked quietly amid the snow. The group jumped out of the boat quietly, followed by another pair of knights to the outpost on the north coast of the archipelago.
Taking full advantage of the environment, the outpost carved out of the natural black basalt reef is perfectly integrated with the island. If the Viking fleet approached from within ten nautical miles, the sentry would be able to detect it in time and dispatch a fleet to support it. Even if the Viking fleet is very large, this outpost cannot be dealt with, and the knights in the station can also activate strong protective shields and stick to it for several weeks.
This is Arthur’s first visit to such an outpost. He pretended not to care, but his eyes were looking around at the internal structure of the outpost. Although it was excavated from a sea reef, the outpost was not as wet as Arthur imagined. There seemed to be some kind of magic to prevent moisture from entering the interior of the outpost. In fact, this outpost can be a very comfortable habitat if the disgusting, rough and pitted reef walls are ignored.
The group descended the stairs of the outpost about twenty feet, almost below sea level, before arriving at the mechanical warehouse here. The warehouse is connected to the seabed, and dozens of small submarines for reconnaissance are parked in it, which can be said to be the only armed force in this outpost.
The small submarine is about fifteen feet long and appears to be able to accommodate a crew of three. Its jet-black hull with almost no metallic luster paint makes it extremely difficult for the enemy to detect in the deep sea. Its streamlined design is very elegant and simple, and the entire submarine has almost no metal seams and is stamped using a mold. Therefore, it can evenly distribute the water pressure in every part of the shell, so that such a small submarine can also have a strong pressure resistance.
“It’s amazing, you humans have even developed this kind of machinery?” Bedivere looked at the precision parts of the submarine and couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Black Knight Zac chuckled lightly: “
Strictly speaking, this is not something that modern people have researched. We just copied this machine based on the knowledge left by ancient people. Ancient people left a lot of useful knowledge to modern people, and this submarine is one of them.
If there is no scientific knowledge left by the ancients, human beings would have to wait two or three thousand years to create such a powerful tool. If we learn from scratch, in the 5th century AD, even the large ships that carry people to the ocean may not be able to be built-we lack the photon engine to provide power.
If there is no scientific knowledge left by the ancients, modern people would even believe that the earth is a square earth – until 1589 BC, archaeologists excavated the scientific books of the ancients and knew that How stupid my guess about [the earth is square].
Ancient Kelton, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Babylon… Although these ancient civilizations perished, they spared no effort to preserve the most precious and valuable knowledge wealth for modern people , so that the human beings in the Radiant Territory can prosper so much.
How can these ancient civilizations, who are at war with each other and regard each other as mortal enemies, work together to preserve these properties for modern people? This matter remains a mystery to this day.
The only thing modern people understand is that these ancient civilizations once faced a very formidable opponent, a race called [Boundless Darkness] in ancient books. Desperate ancient people united to temporarily seal the [darkness] and leave their best cultural heritage to future generations.
——They pin their hopes on the next generation.
“
“Okay, stop talking nonsense, from here we will use submarines to conduct submarine reconnaissance.” The black armored knight Zach said, his voice echoed in the empty warehouse, “Everyone be careful, you will be affected by the action in the sea. It will be very disadvantageous to encounter an attack.”
“Can’t we use large submarines?” Arthur looked a little uneasy when he looked at the small submarines that were limited to three people. The submarines looked like fragile objects that would break with a single touch, though that was just Arthur’s psyche.
Captain Zach laughed and said: “Using large-scale armaments at the border? Stupid, do you want to start a full-scale war with the mermaid?——Even the mermaids are just instigating the Vikings against us. It’s just all kinds of pirate-style looting. They don’t dare to blatantly invade!?”
“Why do things beating around the bush?” The werewolf boy Bedivere asked inexplicably, while curiously touching the black and slippery shell of the submarine.
“Because the one who starts the war always wants to assert that he is [just]. The invaders always want to put on a decent face so they don’t look so ugly in the eyes of the world.” Zach grinned With a sneer, “You are still young and probably won’t understand the wrestling games between these countries. But one day you will understand. The world of adults is so hypocritical and ugly.”
“I’d rather never be so ugly.” The werewolf boy shook his head and looked at the captain.
“Haha, you can’t say no to growing up, kid.” Zach said, “but you can try to keep your kindness.—–Well, it’s a good thing, try your best.”
Bedivere couldn’t help looking at Arthur, and he noticed that the indifference on the knight Arthur’s face had deepened.
There is no suspense, Arthur and Kay, Bedivere share a submarine. As Kay jumped into the submarine, the submarine apparently sank several inches into the water.
“Are you sure this thing really won’t leak?” Arthur was a little nervous. He looked at the inner wall of the submarine and checked the surroundings over and over again~IndoMTL.com~ Shouldn’t…Arthur, so You haven’t learned to swim in years! ? “Kay tapped the submarine with his hand and sneered.
“Isn’t it possible?” Arthur blushed angrily, “I am determined to be a swordsman, not a swimmer!”
“You—well, anyway, even if the submarine is going to sink, I’ll drag you, the landlubber, to the shore. Don’t worry, you won’t drown.” Ser Kay said helplessly.
“Then,” Bedivere blushed with shame and huddled behind the knight Arthur: “Please, there’s a landlubber here.”
“Even you?!——” Kai sighed helplessly, “Okay, okay! Two little ones are not a big burden, I can handle it. I finally understand why. I was added to your team, so mine is a large lifebuoy!”
“I’m sorry, that’s right.” The captain’s voice came from the communicator, “You guys hurry up and save your life—oh no, hurry up, it’s time to go.”
“Squad Arthur, start diving.” Arthur said helplessly, he pressed the switch and started the submarine.
The submarine begins to slowly dive into the water until it is completely submerged. The submarine’s cabin was obscured by silence. Arthur took a deep breath in the darkness, the only light in front of him was the dim light from the indicator lights on the dashboard.
The silent undersea reconnaissance begins.
