Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 406 Disputes Between Neutral Organizations

Deep in the sea, dark and lonely, almost without any sound, it seems to be a corner of the forgotten world.

The ocean of this world is very different from that of the earth.

On the other side of the earth, the average depth of the global ocean is only more than 3000 meters. Areas with a depth of more than 200 meters are considered deep seas, and areas with a depth of more than 4000 meters are considered abyssal zones.

The Mariana Trench, known as the Challenger Deep, is located in the western Pacific Ocean with a total depth of only about 1000 meters.

On this planet, the average depth of the ocean is close to 8000 meters, almost twice that of the Earth.

The seabed is deep and quiet, which makes people yearn for.

"Master Captain, the Nautilus has dived to a depth of 1000 meters." The housekeeper said, reporting the real-time situation of the submarine to Su Xia.

At this moment, Susha is in the command cabin at the front of the top floor of the submarine.

The command cabin is not big. There is a ring-shaped operating platform in the cabin, which is covered with various instruments and equipment. There are more than a hundred densely packed buttons of various colors, and the surrounding area is covered with display screens and instrument panels.

Su Xia stood in front of the circular console, listening to the housekeeper's explanation, and learning the meaning of every button, every string of data, and every prompt on the console.

"Captain, the area on your left is the weapon control system area of ​​the entire submarine. These buttons represent..."

"The data on this display indicates the oxygen content in the submarine at this moment..."

"Here, the current water pressure and depth are displayed..."

"..."

"Usually you don't need to pay attention to these, because I am here, I will take care of everything in the submarine for you, you just need to give instructions, but... the intelligent system is not completely reliable, if I have an abnormality one day, You need to manually control the submarine, and then it will be too late to learn..."

Manual control?

Seeing the densely packed buttons, Su Xia felt her scalp go numb just thinking about it.

With such a large submarine, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for one person to manually control it, at least he must have a team of helpers.

The housekeeper's voice is ubiquitous and part of the overall intelligence of the submarine.

She can also project a virtual body in special compartments such as the command cabin, the captain's rest cabin, the missile control cabin, the canteen, the torpedo cabin, and the power response cabin.

Her positioning is about the same as Hal.

It's just that Hal's projected body is a fuzzy red dot, while she is humanoid, wearing a white coat, wearing glasses, with exquisite facial features, she looks like a young female scientist.

At this moment, she was standing beside Su Xia, explaining to Su Xia how to use each button.

"This is the button for turning on the backup energy source. The yellow button represents the backup diesel engine, the red one represents the backup nuclear reactor, and the blue one represents the backup psionic drive. There are three kinds of backups in total. energy……"

She is very patient, with a soft voice, like a tireless female mentor.

Su Xia's learning ability is quite strong. She is a top-level talent on the other side of the earth. She is very interested in cutting-edge scientific research technology. Her ability to accept and understand is considered top among her peers.

A lot of content can be remembered as long as it is explained once.

"We have dived to 1000-[-] meters, we have broken away from the continental shelf in the southern part of the mainland, and we are in the continental slope area." She explained the situation of the submarine while explaining.

"Steward, have you found the deep sea troops of the machine race?"

"Not yet."

She replied: "The sea is deep and boundless. During non-war periods, the probability of encountering another submarine is very small."

Su Xia nodded: "Did you find any strange creatures?"

"Yes, I caught some spiritual energy fluctuations, which should be mutated aquatic creatures on the bottom of the sea, which pose little threat to us."

At about 200 meters under the sea, the human eyes can hardly see the sunlight.

Below 1000 meters of the seabed, it can be called the deep zone, because here, not only human beings, but almost any known creature cannot perceive the existence of sunlight.

This kind of seabed is cold and dead, full of unknowns, surrounded by invisible darkness, extremely depressing, as if there are some terrifying creatures hiding in the surrounding darkness.

Many people will feel an inexplicable sense of panic and suffocation as long as they look at the pictures of the deep sea, as if they will fall into the endless darkness at any time.

That's typical deep-sea phobia.

Even Su Xia has a little bit, but the symptoms are very mild.

The first time he felt this way was when he was in high school and he happened to see a video about the Dean Blue Hole in the Bahamas.

That blue hole is deep and cold, like a huge mouth of an abyss, capable of devouring all living things around it.

And that blue hole is actually more than 200 meters deep.

But now, Su Xia is in the dark area of ​​more than 1000 meters under the sea, and the whole person is floating in the boundless darkness.

Some people say that going deep into the bottom of the sea is like entering a world of a different planet.

Because, in the depths of the ocean, there is no light, and they cannot see each other. The creatures here are all random, strange, ugly, and horribly deformed, like monsters from another world.

"What's in the depths of the ocean?" Su Xia occasionally thinks about this question.

Probably without SpongeBob and Squidward.

If one day humans can explore the entire seabed at will, there will be many astonishing discoveries.

"Housekeeper, how deep are we now?"

"1000 to 50 meters." The housekeeper answered patiently, and said, "Master Captain, you can call me by my real name."

"You have a name?"

Su Xia was surprised for a moment, but then she was relieved. After all, Hal has a name, so it is normal for the housekeeper to have a name.

The housekeeper smiled and replied, "You can call me Sarah."

"Sarah? It sounds weird." Su Xia said.

"This name comes from a famous deep sea explorer." Sarah spoke softly about the origin of her name.

She was a well-known female explorer who liked to go deep into the seabed of various planets. She had published many books, and her books were even selected into the imperial education system. She was highly respected.

She has experienced countless dangers and situations in her life, and encountered life-and-death crises on many planets, but she managed to save herself every time.

Therefore, she also became the spokesperson of bravery and luck.

Orok Technology Company has been authorized by her to name the smart butler of its submarines after her, hoping that she can bring luck to every deep-sea explorer.

"Is she still alive?" After listening to the narration, Su Xia felt a burst of sincere admiration, and suddenly wanted to meet this legendary explorer.

"Should be still alive, maybe close to a hundred years old." Sarah replied.

This planet cannot communicate with the outside world, so she, like Hal, cannot update the information in the starry sky in real time.

All the information she knows now was brought with her when she left the factory.

……

At this moment, the time has come to more than six o'clock in the morning.

Outside, the sky is dim.

When Su Xia was earnestly studying submarine technology, the news of his stay in Conch City had spread all over the world, sparking an upsurge of discussion.

Even on the other two continents, countless people are wondering what kind of creatures can keep their lives after provoking the machine race time and time again?

"Masked Stranger, this is not the first time I've heard this name."

"It is said that he may be the Iron Fist Golden Wolf who disappeared three years ago."

"The mechanical race has suffered in his hands again."

"Hey, why did you say 'again'?"

"..."

Subsequently, another news quickly swept through the major platforms.

The shock brought by this news is no less than the previous news about the strange man in the mask, even more so.

"Oh my God, the media company above me has been killed!"

Frightened people asked for help on social media and posted bloody pictures.

In the picture, there are some extremely bloody scenes. The materials of the media company are scattered all over the place, blood is spattered everywhere, and human heads and headless corpses can be seen rolling down everywhere.

The strong smell of blood diffused into every corner of the world with the wind in this early morning.

Soon, more and more similar news came out.

Many media companies were killed overnight, even the employees who were resting at home were killed, and even the family members of the employees were not spared, one by one, all fell under the knife.

Moreover, the headquarters of these media companies were ablaze, and smoke billowed into the sky.

Blood and fire are entangled in the cruelty of death, bringing infinite terror to people.

Someone panicked and went to the Law Enforcement Bureau to report the case.

However, what they didn't expect was that it was the City Law Enforcement Bureau who started the killing!
The clothes of many law enforcement officers were still stained with blood, and they looked extremely terrifying, like executioners who had just returned from hell.

Seeing someone report the case, instead of accepting it, they laughed loudly: "We killed the person, go back, it's no big deal!"

"It's time to eat, to drink, just to die, don't affect the mood of going to work today!"

After the news came out, there was another sensation!
Many people realized that behind this bloody incident, there must be the shadow of the machine race.

If it weren't for the permission of the machine race, how could the law enforcement officers in these cities dare to be so arrogant?
"Well, let me just say that in the past few years of peace, those news media have gone too far. They dare to fabricate anything for the sake of traffic, and sooner or later they will cause disaster. Now it really..."

Many people sighed, as if they had expected this scene long ago.

It’s nothing to fabricate fake news about human beings, but dare to fabricate it on the head of the machine race, and it’s on the head of Lord Moser. Isn’t this courting death?
Some people feel that killing too much should not harm the family.

Some people think that if you kill well, you should use heavy codes in troubled times.

Those who make traffic money with no conscience, eat human blood steamed buns, one counts as one, and they should all be killed!

"The mechanical race is so angry this time, most likely it has something to do with the masked man."

"Several failures made them lose face."

Some people realized that the killing this time was probably just because the machine clan held their breath and wanted to find a suitable excuse to vent.

And those unscrupulous media just hit the gun.

Of course, it can only be said that they deserve to die.

Even if he didn't hit it this time, he would hit it one day, but sooner or later, he would die sooner or later.

"By the way, in Conch City, have the machine race lost again?"

"I heard that the masked man escaped again."

"No, someone saw that the masked man was forced into the sea. This time, it's probably dangerous. The entire coastline has been blocked. He can't keep floating on the sea..."

Not long ago, many dock employees saw the scene of Su Xia being chased into the sky above the sea.

Some took the risk of taking some blurry photos, while others snapped a few short videos.

"The flying ability of the masked man is achieved by controlling the metal sheet with spiritual power, and his spiritual power will always be exhausted."

"At that time, he will definitely fall into the sea."

"Therefore, he has only two choices now... Either fall into the sea and drown, or surrender to the machine race."

On various platforms, there are people analyzing the situation of the masked man this time.

Among them, Luo Xi, the head of the Southwest Mercenary Union, said: "The sea area is the base camp of the deep divers of the machine race, and there is absolutely no possibility for the masked monsters to escape this time!"

"Brother Luo, what you said is too absolute." Someone stood up to object. His name was Wang Shi, and he was the head of the Heihe Mercenary Union.

The two mercenary unions are considered large forces, second only to Zero Tavern.

They are both mercenary unions, and they have many connections internally. In the past, they had the same views on many things, but today they disagreed on the masked monster.

"Brother Wang, don't you agree with me?" Luo Xi said on the platform.

"Brother Luo, the masked man cannot be treated with common sense. He is a representative of miracles." Wang Shi said.

"What miracle?" Luo Xi said disdainfully, "He was just lucky. The machine clan didn't deal with him seriously in the past few times, but this time he started to take it seriously."

"Brother Luo, you seem to have a problem with the masked man?"

"No, it's just expressing personal opinions. Brother Wang, aren't you also expressing opinions?"

"Ah."

The two talked a few words tepidly, and seemed to be just discussing issues.

However, some interested people have noticed that the views of these two people are not neutral and have their own biases.

Wang Shi is obviously partial to the masked man, thinking that the masked man can escape.

And Luo Xi seems to have an opinion on the masked man, and every sentence is demeaning.

"Strange, Luo Xi is the general manager of the Southwest Mercenary Union. What he said represents the entire union. There shouldn't be such an obvious bias... Could it be that he was beaten by a masked man?"

"Indeed, the bias is too obvious, and the leader of a large organization should not say such things."

Many people were puzzled and smelled an unusual smell.

At this time, someone provided some gossip: "It is said that this Luo Xi knows Wang Teng and has a private relationship."

"Ah? The Southwest Mercenary Union is a formal organization, how could it be connected with scum like Wang Teng?"

As we all know, Wang Teng and the various mercenary organizations under him are illegal, brutal and bloodthirsty, and each member is a heinous felon who makes a living by plundering and killing, and is not officially recognized.

The mercenary union is a real formal organization, and each member has a registered identity.

"Could it be that Luo Xi wants to incorporate Wang Teng's mercenary organization?"

"Impossible, the Southwest Mercenary Union is not in the hands of Luo Xi alone."

"Maybe he took some benefits from Wang Teng?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, with different opinions.

This morning, in addition to the two mercenary unions, the heads of other large organizations also expressed their views.

The person in charge of the Blazing Death Squad said: "The Masked Man is a brave man."

The person in charge of the Northern Sailing Club said: "The war is finally over, and the world is rarely peaceful, and the machine race is an important force to maintain world order. What the masked monsters are doing is setting off a new round of disputes. I don't know how many people there will be." Die because of him... If I were him, I would give up resistance and use my life to contribute to world peace."

The head of the wilderness investigation team smiled and said, "Huh? Are the bones of the sailing club members made of seawater? Why are they so soft?"

The vice president of the Aurora Research Institute stood up and said: "Head Liu's words are not right. No matter how hard the bones are, they can't compare with steel."

"..."

This morning was quite exciting. The major organizations that were neutral in the past have all shown a certain degree of bias today.

Some people are leaning towards Su Xia, while others are leaning towards the machine clan, as if they are standing in their own teams.

This situation has to make people think too much.

What happened to these neutral organizations?
