The legend of Tiga

It was easier for Chiba Makoto, but it was more troublesome for Kibi Gosuke.

With dull eyes and stiff face, he looked at Fei Niao who was running towards him excitedly with his arm in a sling, and told him excitedly that he would have at least a week's vacation and would be able to see the Dragon Palace in the sea.

The day before, he was saying that someone was in charge and let the Space Adventure Team worry about it, but today Asuka came over.

What kind of boomerang is this? It flies so fast.

"So." Xibi Gangzhu took a deep breath and said, "You also want to take the Victory Submarine and go to the Sea Dragon Palace together?"

"Uh-huh!"

Asuka kept nodding his head, making Kibi Tsunade put on a mask of pain. It turned out that people should never be too sure of what they say at any time.

But the 'good' news doesn't stop there.

Fei Niao said with a smile: "I am just going to scout ahead. If there is any discovery later, professionals will go there."

This is normal. Asuka probably knows nothing except driving. In the past, he was just trying to make his presence known. Once it is confirmed that there is indeed the 'Sphia Virus' on the seabed, the importance of the 'Sea Dragon Palace' will immediately rise to several levels.

After all, so far, TPC has only two underwater research bases, one in Antarctica, which is used to regulate regional temperatures and prevent the Antarctic ice sheet from melting rapidly due to rising global temperatures, causing sea levels to rise and thus flooding the land; the other is Triton J2 in the R Sea.

The Ice City base on the bottom of Antarctica is far inferior to the Sea Dragon Palace in terms of depth and building area. The facilities inside are all related to climate regulation and temperature reduction, and are far less complete than those in the Sea Dragon Palace. Not to mention that the Sea Dragon Palace has sufficient space inside to install additional instruments and equipment if necessary.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Triton J2 is the best location, and it is not surprising that it was chosen as the research point for the "Sphia virus".

This is why the Super Victory Team had to go there as soon as possible, to conduct a preliminary inspection, with the focus on the armament and defense of the Sea Dragon Palace, especially the defense and attack against monsters, which is of paramount importance.

The reason is very simple, that is, the defense of the Sea Dragon Palace is really poor.

“How did such a design get approved?”

Chiba Makoto lay comfortably in the chair, turning back and forth leisurely, turning his head from time to time to let the tablet in his hand recognize the movement and turn the page, browsing the defense distribution of the Sea Dragon Palace at a glance.

To describe it as lame is not an exaggeration at all, it can even be said to be extremely lame.

It is hard to imagine that such an underwater base can appear in a world where monsters and aliens frequently appear. If you don’t know, you will definitely think that this world is peaceful and calm. Otherwise, why is there no anti-monster weapon in the underwater base built more than 6,000 meters deep?

Don't you know that at such a deep seabed, the water pressure is even more terrible than in outer space? If a space station in outer space has a leak, it will be fine as long as it is not very big and is patched in time. But at such a deep seabed, a hole as big as a nail will be quickly torn into a big hole under the huge water pressure, eventually causing the collapse of the entire base.

Once attacked by a monster, the monster can just slap you and then turn around and leave, and the water pressure will do the rest.

Da Gu sat down and said helplessly, "There was nothing we could do. At that time, no monsters had appeared for two or three years, and many people thought that monsters would never appear again. During that time, many experts and scholars on TV called for reducing military spending and using it to improve people's welfare, especially to help those who lost too much during the dark period."

well! ! !
Dagu sighed deeply. He was deeply touched by that period and understood the meaning of the saying "When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked; when the high birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the enemy country is defeated, the counselors die."

The monsters had not appeared for only two or three years, and many people had forgotten the fear and anxiety that the monsters had brought them, and began to clamor for disbanding the Victory Team, canceling weapons and equipment, and saving funds for people's livelihood.

But there are quite a few people who agree with this, thinking that since there are no monsters anymore, there is no need to build weapons. It would be better to just give us the money. What's more, 'We don't need a hundred armed satellites, we just want the common people to survive hard.'

In short, whenever you talk about how much money you're going to spend or what you're going to do, you're going to be criticized.

In this situation, anyone who needs votes will shout the slogan of "serving the people's well-being". In addition, the monster has not appeared for a long time, and there are also disputes and disagreements within TPC.

In addition, Director Sawai retired and TPC was reorganized, which was a huge chaos. As a result, many projects were affected.

Take the Victory Team for example. They had been calling for a reorganization for a long time, but as a result the captain and team members all went to other positions, and the entire Victory Team became an empty shell. Only Zong Fang, who was designated as the new captain of the Victory Team, was left to keep up appearances. The new Victory Team reorganization plan is still under fierce discussion (debate), and after all the arguments, Zong Fang was finally sent to the West Asia branch.

It took two or three years to finalize a new Victory Team alone. One can imagine how chaotic the situation was during that time. The almost defenseless Sea Dragon Palace was born as a "deformation" under such circumstances.

It is a pure scientific research base, without any weapons and equipment, just for the sake of compromise. Otherwise, given the situation at the time, if you installed a lot of weapons and equipment, you would be criticized to death by all kinds of "peace" people, and it would not only fail, but also be difficult to give birth.

In order to complete it as quickly as possible, they had no choice but to compromise and give up expensive weaponry, focusing only on research on creation.

As expected, the chaos of human beings has always been consistent. No matter how strange it is, it is not worth being surprised, because there will always be stranger things.

In a world where monsters and aliens exist, people talk about not making weapons but improving people's livelihood. Just like the whole society is madly discriminating against black people, "Black Lives Matter" is actually the most correct slogan.

This is simply outrageous!
Chiba Makoto felt a headache.

It is said that human beings are the most complicated creatures in the world. Even if something is obviously a simple thing, they insist on making it complicated.

"So there's not even a laser cannon in this place."

".There are still a few torpedo holes."

Da Gu was silent for a long time, and in silence he quickly flipped through the information. He was pleased to find the weapons and equipment column clearly and clearly stated "torpedo launcher", but when he took a second look, the smile on his face disappeared.

Because it is said to be a torpedo launcher, but in fact it is used as a docking port for a small submarine, which means there is no torpedo in the torpedo launcher. Well, it makes sense. After all, there have never been girls in wife cakes, and even most of the people selling wife cakes are not pretty girls.

"I really don't know what I was thinking at the time." Dagu was also very upset and couldn't explain anything at all.

Deep-sea buildings may be attacked by monsters, but there are no weapons. What's the thinking behind this?

Even if the brain is not normal, and the duodenum is normal, it shouldn't be like this. But it is like this.

At once.
Outrageous.

Still far from the truth.

“This is probably dirty politics.”

Chiba Makoto was not surprised. Whether in this world or any other world, as long as these two words were involved, there would be no clean world. Even a septic tank would be cleaner than this.

After all, a septic tank only holds manure, but this tank can hold anything and accommodate anything. No matter how smelly or rotten it is, it can still look shiny.

"Ugh!!!"

Dagu sighed deeply. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to let this place become a research point. If it was attacked by a monster, there would be no chance of survival.

But unfortunately, at the moment, there is really no other choice.

Being the only one, it sucks.

"Let's find a way to modify it. No matter what, we still have to strengthen our defense and counterattack capabilities. We can't just wait to die when the monster comes." Dagu muttered, picked up the information again, racking his brains to think about how to make this broken thing more sturdy, or at least not break at the slightest touch.

Although the Sea Dragon Palace has been safe and sound in the past few years, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.

This is like driving a car. In a journey of 10,000 kilometers, even if 9,999 kilometers are safe and sound, if the last kilometer is not driven well, the car will still be ruined. Even if there is only one meter left, if you are not careful, the car may be destroyed and people may die.

And what the Sea Dragon Palace is going to do next involves Sphia, who has suddenly gone from being an unknown person to a prominent figure. Judging from the intelligence Sphia has shown so far, she might really launch an attack.

"Or, let's go and take a look in person." Dagu couldn't sit still when he thought of this. If the Sea Dragon Palace was attacked, not only would the hundreds of staff members inside be in danger, but the subsequent ocean monitoring of the Sfia virus would also face great difficulties.

"Okay, let's go and take a look, that's fine!"

Chiba Makoto was also very curious about the Sea Dragon Palace, especially whether he would feel safe enough living and working in such an almost undefended place.

Anyway, if it were Chiba Makoto, he wouldn't feel safe at all.

Following Chiba Makoto's habit of "getting things done as soon as they are said", Daigu also developed the good habit of "getting things done as soon as they are said". He immediately contacted the TPC East Pacific Marine Defense Department and informed it of the itinerary and route.

Just like airplanes have air traffic control, ships and submarines in the ocean are not a mess, otherwise everyone would run with their eyes closed and if they collided, that would be the end of them.

This was a disaster that happened in the old Defense Force era. The two submarines were sailing silently. In such a vast ocean, they were as inconspicuous as two needles. But they collided with each other and then died. This collision, which sounds incredible, has happened more than once since the first submarine was launched. Reality is really more magical than fiction.

After everything was ready, Chiba Makoto and Daigu took the elevator down to the hangar below the Air Command. As soon as they walked out of the elevator, the first thing they saw was Dolphin 202. This was a small universal submarine built according to the design concept of Commander Yoshioka, who had extensive experience in submarines. It was capable of operating at a speed of 69 knots at a depth of meters in the sea, and its performance was quite powerful.

Since its birth, Dolphin 202 has made many dives, providing valuable experience and rich data for subsequent models. Based on Dolphin 202, a number of submarines have been developed.

There are Victory submarines with superior performance, which not only have a speed of one hundred knots, but are also equipped with high-energy blue lasers and shark-breaking torpedoes. There are also cost-effective Shark Sea submarines, which have no weapons and are relatively slow, but are low-cost and have large space. They are used for the transportation of personnel and cargo on the seabed. There are also general-purpose submarines in between the two, which can be equipped with personnel and cargo modules, deep-sea rescue modules, deep-sea detection modules, etc. as needed.

What Chiba Makoto and Daigu used this time was a general-purpose submarine numbered Dolphin 404, with a maximum speed of eighty knots. It is mainly used for seabed exploration and scientific research, and is also the submarine manufactured in the largest number.

Dagu sat in the main driving seat, operating the vehicle skillfully. It really felt like he was doing it with ease, and it couldn't be smoother. This shows that he used his free time to familiarize himself with the equipment and practice the operation. He really worked hard.

Ah!
Chiba Makoto nodded with satisfaction, and then enjoyed the service with peace of mind. He just wanted to be a good passenger and not cause any trouble.

"Dolphin 404, let's go!"

With Dagu's shout, the power system started, pushing the submarine out of the open hatch and began to accelerate, heading eastward, gradually increasing in speed and deepening in depth.

Through the external camera, one can clearly see that the sea water gradually changes from a shimmering halo to a darkening state until it becomes pitch black. Only the area illuminated by the powerful light beam of the submarine is still bright, while the rest is pitch black.

This is the horror of the deep sea. Not even light can penetrate it, leaving only bottomless darkness.

The numbers representing the depth are jumping, one thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters
As the depth increases little by little, the life support system in the submarine also adjusts the air pressure accordingly to prevent the body from being affected by excessive pressure.

This is also the biggest difference from traditional submarines. Even if you are in the deep sea of ​​10,000 meters, the customized life support system can make people feel like they are on the ground. Even if you float up rapidly, it will not affect your body or even cause "decompression sickness".

"We will reach the Sea Dragon Palace in thirty minutes."

Dagu was operating seriously along the way and would occasionally report the time.

Qianye Cheng had long been tired of the unchanging darkness and had begun to browse the various scientific research facilities and achievements of the Sea Dragon Palace. Hearing this, he just nodded and said, "I hope it won't be that bad."

"It shouldn't be that far." Dagu was just saying this with a smile when the radar suddenly started beeping, causing Dagu to immediately turn his attention to it. He was shocked after just one look and said, "We found a huge unidentified object. Oh my god, it's over a thousand meters away. How is that possible?"

"A monster?" Chiba Makoto immediately looked over, but the radar stopped the alarm at this moment, and the huge object that had just appeared also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"Disappeared? How could that happen?" Dagu was even more surprised. How could such a huge thing just disappear like that?

"Let's go and take a look." Chiba Makoto said immediately.

"Understood!" Dagu immediately steered the submarine to swim towards the place where the huge object was found. (End of this chapter)
