From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

"In order to support the Malacca Channel mission this time, the theater command has specially transferred two third-level source essences, one for [Tidecaller] and the other for [Deep Sea Lord]."

In front of the Longwei Base training ground, the theater staff Qi Jinghui announced the command's decision to the ten marine psychics in front of him:

"These two third-level source essences will be handed over to Captain Lu to decide how to use them to assist in completing this deep-sea mission. Let Captain Lu explain the specific allocation."

The Daxia military really attaches great importance to this Malacca Channel mission. Without Lu Heng mentioning it, Li Guining asked the command to mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized.

These two third-level source essences are the support provided by the Southern Theater.

Just by listening to the name, you can know that these two source essences belong to the marine class.

Among them, [Deep Sea Lord] is a general source essence, which has no requirements for the attributes of the psychic itself.

[Tidecaller] tends to be a spiritual psychic with the ability to control seawater.

There is no absolute difference between the two sources of essence, but there will be a more suitable tendency.

Lu Heng stood in front of the ten people, glanced around, and said loudly: "In the past three days, you have upgraded at least two skills and mastered stronger underwater activities.

"These two third-level sources of essence also enhance the ability of the ocean system, that is to say, if you choose these two sources of essence, you must stick to the ocean enhancement route in the future.

"Listen to my command, those who do not have the third-level source of essence and are interested in these two sources of essence, step forward."

As soon as the order came out, seven people took a step forward.

Only three people were left standing at the back, looking at each other, with disappointment in their eyes.

These ten people were selected because they have strong underwater action capabilities, and more than half of the skills in their skill group are related to water.

Therefore, as long as these ten people are clear-headed, they will definitely choose the ocean enhancement route.

If they want to change the route now, even if they can change to a land-based superpower, they will basically be mediocre all the way.

The track of ocean hegemony is relatively less competitive, and it is also what they are good at.

At the beginning, four or five of the ten people planned to apply for transfer back to their original units after completing this mission.

After all, the special forces are too special.

However, after three days, each of the ten marine warriors upgraded two skills.

This made them understand the real specialness of the special forces, and everyone changed their initial ideas.

The purpose of recruiting these ten people into the special forces is to deal with the deep sea fog crisis in the Malacca Channel, so Lu Heng mainly upgraded their water skills.

For example, the C-level [Underwater Breathing] has been upgraded to the C-level [Advanced Underwater Breathing], and the ability to obtain oxygen in the water is stronger.

In addition, the skills to increase underwater power have also been upgraded.

For example, one of the second-class sergeants named Liu Haiyang, the D-level [Water Flow Acceleration] was upgraded to the C-level [Surge Acceleration].

Before the abyss came, the freestyle speed of ordinary human athletes was about 2 meters per second.

Among them, the world record for men's 100-meter freestyle is 46.40 seconds.

It can be seen that the swimming speed of 2 meters per second is close to the limit of ordinary humans.

If it is a deep dive, the speed will be slower.

It is conceivable that humans have very weak mobility in water and will be crushed by any kind of fish.

In the Abyss Age, there is a passing standard for marine warriors among human psychics, that is, the speed of movement in the water can catch up with dolphins.

The swimming speed of dolphins in the water is about 36 kilometers per hour, which is 10 meters per second.

The speed of 10 meters per second is probably the maximum running speed of athletes on land.

In other words, the passing line of the swimming speed of marine psychics in the water is equivalent to the running speed of athletes on land.

This requirement is not high for psychics, and one skill can solve it.

The skill effect of [Water Flow Acceleration] is to increase the underwater acceleration by 8 meters per second. With the swimming speed of the psychic itself, as well as the blessing of strength and agility, it can usually reach the passing line of 10 meters per second.

In other words, a qualified marine psychic needs a skill similar to [Water Flow Acceleration].

It seems not difficult to need a skill.

However, with [Underwater Breathing], two skill slots have been occupied.

The official statistics of Daxia show that the number of initial skill slots of psychics is 2.15, which means that for most psychics, if they want to become marine psychics, they have to use up two skill slots.

Moreover, this is just the passing line.

If you want to gain a greater advantage in the water, you must either upgrade your skills or absorb more water skills.

From this, it can be seen that it is not easy to take the marine enhancement route.

Moreover, these two skills can only be used in the water, and going ashore is equivalent to having no skills.

This is also the reason why few psychics choose the marine enhancement route.

What is more difficult is that if you want to form combat power in the water, it is far from enough to reach the swimming speed of a dolphin.

The fog crisis on the Malacca route this time is extremely difficult.

Just think about it and you will know that if you enter the seabed fog at the speed of a dolphin and encounter the abyss monsters on the seabed, you probably won’t even have a chance to run out.

Therefore, the minimum swimming speed standard for this underwater mission must reach the shark level.

The swimming speed of sharks is usually 72 kilometers per hour, which is 20 meters per second.

In order to meet this requirement, Lu Heng upgraded the underwater acceleration skills of these ten people.

A second-class sergeant named Liu Haiyang upgraded his D-level [Water Flow Acceleration] to C-level [Surge Acceleration], with an acceleration effect of 20 meters per second. After testing, combined with his original swimming speed, it can reach 22 meters per second, and it can be even faster if he is in combat.

Being able to reach the speed of a shark is basically enough to carry out this mission.

Of course, the higher this data is, the better.

The two classes of [Deep Sea Lord] and [Tide Caller] can both increase the ability to move in water. As long as you get these two classes, your combat effectiveness in water will soar.

Therefore, even the remaining three warriors who already have the third-turn source essence showed their expectant eyes.

Lu Heng glanced at the remaining three people and asked again: "Those who already have the third-turn source essence but want to change the source essence, also step forward."

This time, two more people stepped forward.

In the end, only one person was left standing behind. He was the highest level among the ten people. His source energy level had reached level 40 and he had already obtained the third-turn class.

So he couldn't participate in the competition for these two third-turn source essences.

The last level 40 psychic warrior is named Cao Lixiong. He has the highest energy level among the ten people.

Because of his high level and strong combat power, he passed the battle for energy in a previous call-up and obtained a complete third-level job.

His third-level job is [Energy Shield Guard].

This is a defensive job with strong defensive capabilities and can also provide defense in water.

However, this is indeed not an ocean job, and it is relatively not so compatible with his other abilities.

For ordinary psychics, obtaining a job depends mostly on luck, and not everyone has the opportunity to choose.

Sometimes when encountering a job-level energy, in order to immediately improve combat power, they directly absorb it. As for whether it is suitable for the job-level route, there is no time to think about it.

Lu Heng had read Cao Lixiong's file, so he knew that his third-level job was [Energy Shield Guard], so he said:

"Your job can also work in water, and in the water medium, the power of most attacks will be weakened, but the defensive ability will not be weakened too much.

"As a result, the effect of defensive skills in water will be stronger than on land."

Take firearms as an example.

Sniper rifles can shoot targets thousands of meters away in the air.

However, once the bullet is shot into the water, it will lose its power after moving one meter.

Therefore, Cao Lixiong's [Energy Shield Guard] job, placed in the deep sea, is the strongest defense, and few things can break it.

"Yes!" Cao Lixiong stood at attention and agreed.

Lu Heng continued: "Next, I will announce the distribution method of the two source materials. A deep-sea training will be conducted in the East China Sea today, and the top three fighters will receive rewards.

"Two of the rewards are the source materials of [Deep Sea Lord] and [Tidecaller], and the third reward is a chance to upgrade a skill.

"Rewards are selected according to the ranking of scores. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Ten marine warriors stood at attention and answered loudly.

"If you understand, get on the helicopter." Lu Heng raised his hand and pointed to the helicopter landing pad in the base.

At this moment, an armed helicopter was parked on the landing pad.

Lu Heng, Jian Qing, and Qi Jinghui led the team together, leading Liu Haiyang, Cao Lixiong and ten other marine warriors to board the armed helicopter and fly to the East China Sea.

...

An hour and a half later, the armed helicopter arrived over the East China Sea and continued to fly eastward.

Jian Qing opened a box, showed the training props inside, and introduced:

"Here are ten rubber balls, the overall density is greater than seawater, and they will sink to the bottom of the sea if thrown into the sea, but they will be washed away by the current, or they may be swallowed by big fish.

"There is a light-emitting device on the rubber ball, which emits red light once every ten seconds. The visibility underwater is about two to three hundred meters, depending on the visibility of the seawater.

"Remember the current coordinates. From here, the helicopter will drop a rubber ball into the sea every minute.

"After the ten rubber balls are dropped, continue to fly east for one hundred kilometers, and then let you go down to find the rubber balls.

"After finding the rubber balls, return to the Baoshan Lighthouse on the shore. The first three people who return can get rewards. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The ten people agreed in unison.

"Very good, start dropping rubber balls. "Jian Qing said as she grabbed a rubber ball and threw it into the sea.

These rubber balls are 15 cm in diameter. If there is no other identification method, it is difficult to find them again after throwing them into the sea.

However, the rubber balls are equipped with a red light device. As long as you find the flashing red light, you can find the rubber balls.

Even so, it is not so easy to find the rubber balls.

Because, after dropping ten rubber balls, the helicopter still has to fly 100 kilometers to the east, that is to say, these ten marine superpower warriors need to swim back to the rubber ball drop point from 100 kilometers away.

If it were an ordinary person, the 100-kilometer distance could be given up directly.

The underwater skills of these ten marine warriors have been upgraded, and now all of them can move faster than 20 meters per second in the water.

So the 100-kilometer distance in the sea only takes one and a half hours for them.

The rubber ball drop location is about 150 kilometers away from the Baoshan Lighthouse on the shore.

So this ocean training lasts about 4 hours.

When the ten marine warriors checked their equipment, the helicopter had already flown 100 kilometers.

Jian Qing asked loudly: "Have you checked all the equipment?"

"Inspection completed!" Ten people responded in unison.

Jian Qing asked: "Let's go down here. The height from the sea is one hundred meters now. Do we still want to go down?"

Cao Lixiong stood by the helicopter door, glanced down, and replied: "As long as there is sea water below, I can jump from outer space."

His third-level job is [Energy Shield Guard], with full defense points, and when objects fall in the atmosphere, there is air resistance, so they actually have a limit speed.

So he can literally jump from outer space.

Others do not have such strong defense, but it is not difficult to jump into the sea from a distance of 100 meters.

Therefore, after checking their equipment, the mission marine warriors jumped into the sea one after another to start this deep sea training.

Jian Qing finally reminded: "This deep-sea training lasts for 4 hours. If you don't find the rubber ball for more than 4 hours, you can return directly to Baoshan Lighthouse. If you encounter danger, you can send a signal for help. Note that this is just training. You are teammates who have to fight side by side. Once a team member is in danger, rescue is the first priority. "

"yes!"

The ten people responded in unison, but this training was a competition after all, so after the ten people entered the sea, they looked at the compass and immediately started swimming towards the west.

They all reached their ultimate speed, like ten flying fish shooting across the sea.

Normally, the speed of swimming on the surface of the sea is faster than that of swimming on the bottom of the sea, so out of ten people, seven of them swim freely on the surface of the sea, leaving seven white wakes.

However, three people fell into the sea.

Lu Heng knew who these three people were at a glance. The underwater acceleration skills of these three people were more effective underwater, and among them was Liu Haiyang.

Therefore, these three people went directly to the bottom of the water and disappeared from the sight of the helicopter.

Lu Heng watched ten people racing rapidly in the sea, some of them even reaching speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.

The speed of 70 kilometers per hour is the passing line for this ocean fog crisis, but the speeds of these ten people in the sea are not the same. Some of them directly hit the speed of 100 kilometers per hour, gradually widening the distance from the others.

Most cars can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour on land, which is not an exaggeration.

However, in the sea, this speed is already the ultimate speed of a high-speed battleship.

In other words, for this marine warrior, the speed of surface ships cannot match them.

If it's on the bottom of the sea, their advantage is even more obvious.

Because the ships that can dive into the bottom of the sea include submarines, and the most advanced submarines have a limit speed of only 50 kilometers per hour on the bottom of the sea.

In other words, the speed of these ten marine warriors on the seabed can almost double the speed of killing a submarine.

Moreover, this is only the swimming speed under normal conditions. If the combat speed is used, it can be higher.

Only by reaching this underwater speed can we be able to solve the fog crisis on the seabed.

Lu Heng looked at the marine warriors who were gradually retreating, and raised his hand to point in the direction of Baoshan Lighthouse: "Let's go back."

The helicopter turned and returned to the Baoshan Lighthouse north of Gardenia Beach.
