Chapter 985
Chapter 976 The curtain of war opened
The holographic image from the unmanned submarine once again rippled.
After a breath, the ripples dissipated and new images appeared.
Although it looks a lot blurry, the display range has been increased by more than ten times, and the diameter of the channel has been reduced from about 2 meters to the thickness of the arm.
Of course, what I’m talking about here is the size in the holographic image, not the actual size.
“According to the detection of Mana Wave, the diameter of the channel exceeds 50 meters!”
A magician looked at the display light screen in front of him and reported a data loudly.
Bloomfield’s expression changed slightly:
“So the’alienated sea monsters’ that enter and exit the passage are only more than 40 meters in diameter… damn, this is already at the level of the Upanishad Level, and I hope there will not be too many Upanishad Sea monsters inside…”
The largest submarine of the Federal Navy, the “Sea Lion” submarine has a length of 145 meters and a maximum diameter of just over 40 meters.
In other words, the size of an Upanishad-class sea monster is comparable to a “sea lion-class” submarine, and such a behemoth is definitely not easy to deal with.
The unmanned submarine’s diving speed was quite fast, exceeding 10 meters per second, and after only two or three minutes, the end of the holographic image changed significantly, and the cramped passage suddenly became wide.
There was a slight commotion among the soldiers.
“Oh my god, there really is a cave at the bottom of the trench…”
“Looking at this posture, the size of the cave exceeds the detection limit of the’Condensation Detector’, which means that it is at least 2 kilometers…”
“More than 2 kilometers, there are more than 40 passages here. I feel that they should be connected to the same cave, so this is definitely a super giant cave with a width of at least 50 kilometers and a greater depth…”
“My God, a cave 50 kilometers wide? How many sea monsters should there be underneath, 2000 or 5000?”
“There can be as many as 5000, right?”
Just as the soldiers were discussing in a low voice, Bloomfield issued another order:
“All the detection data of the unmanned submarine will be displayed on the grid!”
“Yes!”
The ripples cover the holographic image, “refreshing” a larger display range.
The “grid display” in the mouth of the Rear Admiral does not seem to be very powerful, but it represents a new generation of magic wave communication technology, described in terms, this is called “distributed magic energy communication network.”
Simply put, every magic communication device may become a communication center. It is no longer the same as before. The center is the center and the terminal is the terminal. The two sides are distinct, which is the “fixed magic communication network.”
This design has a huge advantage, the command center is no longer fixed, it can be transferred to other equipment at any time.
Even if the submarine where the commander is located is sunk by the enemy, other officers can take over the command at any time, so that the entire army will not fall into chaos.
So this inconspicuous change is actually very significant. It can be said unceremoniously that this is definitely a revolutionary advancement.
As a soldier had guessed, this was indeed a huge deep sea cave with no boundary in sight.
This sight caused a burst of exclamation, and Bloomfield’s expression became more serious.
At this time, a rapid voice sounded in the communication channel:
“Under the crown of Major General, the No. 12 unmanned submarine detected the sea monster…”
In fact, there is no need to remind. The soldiers have noticed that in the cave area that was “lit up” by the fastest unmanned submarine, several red light spots flashed abruptly.
For the detection equipment mounted on unmanned submarines, the main detection object is the Void Demon, so the color displayed for the alienated energy is the most conspicuous red.
And the stronger the intensity of the alienation energy, the redder the color displayed, the monsters at the Awakening level are generally light red, the extraordinary level is bright red, and the mysterious level and above are dark red.
At this time, the red dots appearing in the holographic image are all bright red, that is, the alienated sea monster of the extraordinary level.
Bloomfield exclaimed:
“Continue to dive, I want to see how many sea monsters there are in the cave!”
“understand!”
The sea monster also seemed to notice the unmanned submarine. The red dot got into the passage and quickly approached the submarine.
For the Federal Navy, although the cost of the unmanned submarine is not cheap, as many as 800 Kinnars, it is only a consumable. The 20 unmanned submarines are all worn out, and it does not matter much. .
Bloomfield ordered:
“Adjust the speed of the unmanned submarine to the maximum!”
The moving speed of the holographic image suddenly accelerated, the scope of the caves discovered became larger and larger, and the number of red dots also increased from 3 or 4 at the beginning to dozens.
The noise made by the unmanned submarine, of course, alarmed more alienated sea monsters, and more than half of the unmanned submarines were spotted by the sea monsters.
After a few breaths, the unmanned submarine rushing forward, the transmitted image suddenly trembled and became extremely blurred.
“No. 12 was attacked!”
As soon as the voice fell, part of the holographic image disappeared.
Obviously, the No. 12 unmanned submarine was destroyed, or the internal detection equipment was damaged.
This does not surprise anyone. The size of the unmanned submarine is too small, and its protection capability is almost zero. Faced with sea monsters that master the ability of the water system, it has no resistance at all. As long as the opponent throws a rapid current, it is enough to damage the unmanned submarine.
This was just the beginning. In the next tens of seconds, unmanned submarines were destroyed one after another, and the holographic image was also broken by more than 80%.
In the end, only three unmanned submarines passed safely through a channel more than 4 kilometers long and entered an extremely empty bottomless abyss. What appeared in front of everyone was dense red dots, a small part of the red dots were light red, and the rest Bright red.
The three unmanned submarines did not “live” for too long. They only advanced less than 300 meters before being approached by the sea monsters, completely losing contact, and the holographic images disappeared.
The soldiers in the combat command room were quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a burst of noisy discussions.
“It’s unbelievable. The unmanned submarine has detected at least 500 sea monsters. This may only be a very small part of the cave…”
“Just now someone said that there might be 5,000 sea monsters. Now it seems that there are more than 50,000 sea monsters. This is simply a sea monster cave…”
“The density of sea monsters is very abnormal. Why do most sea monsters remain motionless, even after the unmanned submarine approaches, there is no response?”
“I have a guess that they may be in a dormant state to save energy consumption. After all, this is a deep sea abyss nearly 10,000 meters deep, and there is an extreme lack of food…”
“Damn the Void Demon Race, there are so many powerful sea monsters hidden in the deep sea, what do they want to do?”
“What else can you do? This sea area is only more than 860 kilometers away from Xinghai Continent, and almost 1,300 kilometers away from Tide Land. These tens of thousands of sea monsters are not to attack Xinghai Continent, or to attack Tide Land. There is no third possibility…”
Bloomfield looked around and shouted:
“be quiet!”
Then he gave a series of instructions:
“Lieutenant Beaufort, immediately inform the naval headquarters of the situation. There are too many sea monsters in the deep sea caves. 20 submarines can’t handle them. We need more submarines to support…”
“Captain Servez, you go to the Federal Chancellery to ask them to temporarily designate the sea area within 200 kilometers as a restricted navigation zone, and evacuate all civilian ships in the nearby sea area as soon as possible…”
“Finally, everyone is ready to fight and kill these sea monsters!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers responded in unison.
No one thought that the first shot of this all-out war would be fired from the bottom of the sea.
