Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Unless there is also a big pineapple and a talking sponge on the bottom of the sea here.

That thing just stayed quietly on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, but it wasn't at the lowest point, but chose a hillside platform that was a few hundred meters above the lowest point.

Luo Qi couldn't see what color it was, whether there was a light that was still running.

Visibility in sea water is indeed abysmal under these conditions.

But soon, he immediately turned off the terrain scanner.

The map that has been fixed and imaged is still displayed on his head-up display in three-dimensional mode.

It wasn't that he decided to save power, but to hide his whereabouts.

Although I don't know if the previous detection has caught their attention, but continuing to drive is almost tantamount to swaggering through the market.

He didn't want to be found out.

Even if he is discovered, it's best to give him a little time to run away.

As for getting a closer look...

Rocky didn't have the habit of curiosity killing the cat.

Because the direction indicated by the signal source is exactly the opposite——

Pointing straight to the cliff with a drop of several thousand meters.

This gave Luo Qi some bad premonition.

Because this cliff is too regular, like a piece of rock with natural texture and ups and downs, occasionally there are plants growing on it and some random stains, gravel or other debris.

The terrain detector went all the way down, and didn't detect anything special.

Do you want to go in?Do we have to dig a hole?

If this is on land, it is nothing more than finding a shield machine.

But at the bottom of the sea, it is quite difficult submarine engineering.

He has seen military technology in the undersea military base on the man-made island of Morro Rock in Night City.

It was a steel and concrete undersea fortress that they used man-made materials to forcibly reclaim the sea and build land.

But this submarine base is not the case.

It seems to be a building structure similar to modular assembly. It is estimated that it was manufactured and assembled on land, and then sank to the bottom of the sea for installation and fixing.

This can almost be determined from the metal shelf chassis fixed at multiple anchor points.

Also, the concrete appears to have been poured later.

But what concerned him the most was that near the submarine base, there seemed to be some huge equipment that was slowly working.

It is not the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the oil well, but is wrapped in a huge towering cylinder, making a heavy, regular, muffled sound that can be heard far away in sea water.

It looks like it's hitting something.

But Luo Qi suppressed his curiosity again.

His purpose is not to check and accept the moths made by military technology at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, but to find the signal source that only he can receive.

Continue down the cliff.

Luo Qi had to take a risk and turned on the terrain detector again.

Because he found that he could no longer get closer——

When the depth reached nearly 3000 meters, he found that the distance between himself and the signal did not shorten no matter whether he went up or down.

This is not a good sign.

If this is a strictly guarded military base, then no matter how secret it is, there is always a way to reach the target.

But if it is in the cliff, then he has no way to start.

Unless he really intends to dig straight in.

The distance is close enough, maybe the entrance is nearby.

After all, this is a cliff with a length of [-] kilometers.

After adjusting the depth and the horizontal coordinates where he faced the cliff, Luo Qi was almost sure that he had found a position closest to the signal.

But still nothing unusual.

It even made Luo Qi wonder if he had some kind of hallucination because he stayed under the sea for too long.

Terrain Finder is, in this case, a substitute for his eyes.

If you can't even find the way with the terrain detector, you can only give up.

Next time, maybe he'll use equipment with a better dive depth.

As long as he has the coordinates, he can return here instead of waiting for a sword.

In order to find this signal, he paid the most in history.

For a long time, he had noticed news about the Gulf of Mexico.

Military technology is here to mine various industrial resources, including some rare earth elements.

Subcutaneous armor happens to be an expensive product that relies heavily on these raw materials.

Luo Qi still remembers that that small box of subcutaneous armor can be sold for a sky-high price of several million euros. This is the money that can be earned while the middleman is responsible for the follow-up distribution profits and risks.

Coincidentally, near the current coordinates, there are many mature industrial raw material mining sites, as well as various dazzling manufacturing plants.

But even more coincidentally, just when Luo Qi thought he had discovered the secrets of military technology, he discovered that this area was actually one of the manufacturing bases of the new American military system.

That is to say, many logistics lines, resource mining sites, manufacturing plants, and even some small towns and cities with a radius of hundreds of miles all serve this entire system.

Since the range is so wide, it is possible for the raw materials to be transported from anywhere through these routes.

This clue also loses its meaning.

After seeing the submarine base and things like drilling equipment, Luo Qi became more certain of his inner thoughts.

If you want to rely on your luck to find the real source of Rockman's technology in the vast Gulf of Mexico, it is actually not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

At least you can still see the needle directly, and these things hidden in unknown corners may even be fake in appearance.

It was only after Luo Qi continued to dive until the bottom of the entire Gulf of Mexico was within the detection range that he realized what was wrong with him all the time——

If there is nothing here, then why did military technology set up an undersea base that looks nothing like a drilling platform here?

The answer is that at the end of the cliff, that is, at the edge of the submarine plain, the detector scanned a large number of dilapidated and chaotic debris that did not look like what should appear in this place.

It was like a bottle of exquisite porcelain that was thrown down from a high altitude, and then smashed to pieces the moment it hit the ground.

The rock formation at the bottom of the cliff was also severely damaged, but this did not affect its structural stability. After a part of the landslide, these wreckages still look like those steel giants that had been buried on the seabed decades ago. The same, revealing a dilapidated body.

It seemed to be something that looked like a cooked crayfish.

Luo Qi didn't know how to describe it, but at first glance it did look like a shrimp with tentacles and feet.

The outline of that thing is no longer sharp and angular, part of it is hidden in the sand and dust, and serious damage has occurred from one third of the way.A large number of wreckages are like playing cards that exploded, scattered around, and inserted into the ground at various angles.

However, its strange shape is not what Luo Qi cares most about.

Most importantly, according to the feedback from the terrain scanner, its length is at least more than 100 meters.

A super metal figure that is more than 100 meters long and looks like a big lobster was smashed here by some brat?

This was the first idea that popped into Luo Qi's head, but it was quickly denied by himself.

This is his meow.

What is it?

Luo Qi didn't quite understand what he saw. After changing his head, he made sure that he didn't have hallucinations or other symptoms, and then continued to take a closer look.

Still the same.

"My gosh, what is this?"

Luo Qi's jaw couldn't close.

He knows that military technology always likes to engage in some conspiracies, but what he didn't expect was that there would be such a wonderful scene on the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of more than 3000 meters, and one could not help but start to doubt his own eyes.

In addition to the incomprehensible huge toy, there are many small things no more than two meters in size, which are moving back and forth in this sea area.

They are like ants who have found food, come out of their nests in groups, and then line up to and fro, constantly going back and forth between the submarine base and this wreck.

Or, nectar-gathering bees?

Luo Qi still couldn't believe his eyes.

But soon, something more important attracted him.

Those things that seemed to be drones that were going back and forth suddenly stopped what they were doing and began to approach him gradually.

Sirens also began to sound in that submarine base.

Sound travels much faster in sea water than in air.

Luo Qi realizes that he seems to have caused a big|trouble.

There were only two options before him.

First, retreat immediately, the sooner you moisten the better, it is best to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Second, advance bravely in the rapids, ignore the alarm that found him, and then dive directly to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, looking for anything from the wreckage that may be related to what you want.

Almost instantly, he dropped his second option.

Not to mention whether he has this operating space, the maximum diving depth of the mecha and the ultimate compression depth that it can withstand in a short period of time are not enough to reach that position.

Fortunately, the diving mecha, because of its strong and stable characteristics, the user only needs to bear the normal atmospheric pressure.

During the extremely fast ascent process, there is no need to worry about the gas penetrating into one's skin and cells due to supersaturation pressure escaping, forming bubbles that can easily cause death.

"Fuck, what's that sound?"

Just when Luo Qi didn't care about it and let the power pack start to push forward with full load, a fast shadow quickly approached him.

It doesn't even capture his appearance in the terrain scanner.

Because the device itself is designed to explore forbidden terrain rather than super-velocity objects.

He only had time to turn his head when he saw a drone appearing within his visibility range accompanied by a terrifying noise.

"boom--!!!!"

The violent explosion made a louder sound.

Under the seabed, due to the ubiquitous pressure of sea water in all directions, the expansion volume of the explosion is extremely limited.

But that thing almost exploded against Luo Qi.

As if he had lost weight for a moment, he was like a leaf that suddenly lost weight in the sea, was blown around by the strong wind, turned around in the sea for a long time, and then shook his head in a daze.

He felt that the situation was terrible.

If it was on the ground, he wouldn't even realize it by bumping into his body with this thing on his back.

But at the bottom of the sea, my own vision and hearing have all failed, and I can't distinguish the direction, and it is extremely difficult to detect the danger coming.

But that's not the worst.

Just when he was about to continue to float after he adjusted, the power armor suddenly stopped working.

"Power system damaged."

When the assistant who remained "calm" even under such conditions began to check himself and remind him, Luo Qi's heart was half cold.

This is a place more than 2000 meters below the sea.

Even the underwater acoustic communication cannot be used because the attenuation is too severe and the effective content cannot be correctly parsed after several hundred meters.

The current Luo Qi can be said to be called "every day should not be done", and the ground is not working.

The propulsion backpack still maintained a weak driving force, allowing him to sink to the bottom of the sea without the first instant.

There is no problem with the airtightness of the mecha for the time being, so the seawater will not flow in directly.

But these are only temporary.

Only gravity remains unchanged.
