"It's in good condition, just replaced with a new hydraulic tongs, the old ones are a bit worn out..."

"Okay, thanks, I'll treat you to some good food when I get paid later."

Wang Fugui nodded, and got into the cockpit of the iron ball. The maintenance personnel stepped forward to close the hatch, and then sealed the airtight door...

Insert the ID card into the identification slot...

[System startup...]

【Recognizing...】

【Welcome, Comrade Wang Fugui, Senior Underwater Engineer...】

[The clock has begun... Labor is the most glorious...]

The beeping alarm sounded in the Ganaku, and the iron ball was transferred to the elevator, rising towards the deck.

Wang Fugui in the cockpit of the iron ball checked the various instrument data in the iron ball...

After rising to the deck, the crane hoisted it up and lowered it toward the emerald green sea.

In the process of falling, Wang Fugui checked whether there was any abnormality in the closure of the hydraulic clamp of the iron ball, and checked the instrument for the last time...

Crashing... Familiar with entering the water, the iron ball entered the water and descended towards the bottom of the sea.

The underwater operation area this time is in the deep sea at a depth of 3200 meters. Even in Wang Fugui's career, it is considered a rare deep-sea operation.

Squeak... The cable made of carbon nanotubes is very thin, but its strength is far superior to that of steel wire rope.

Wang Fugui turned his head to look at the other side of the iron ball. There was another worker of his, who greeted himself with an underwater pulse light.

In the depth display, the depth of the iron ball is constantly updated.

【1500...】

【1600...】

......

In this depth, the sunlight can no longer penetrate, leaving only endless darkness, covering the surroundings.

Wang Fugui, who has received professional psychological training, is used to this environment and has his own way of fighting against negative emotions.

I reached out to select music on the control panel to relax, and finally chose "Good Day" in the playlist. This song is especially good at dispelling negative emotions in people's hearts.

The prelude to a good day sounded in the cockpit.

Experts have discussed for a long time whether to provide the function of playing music in the cockpit.

Navy experts believed that the iron ball should be as quiet as possible, but they quickly realized that the iron ball is a civilian mining equipment, and there is no need to follow the requirements of the military industry.

Although music playback may attract some small sea animals, in the deep sea, music can help people relax. In special cases, the sound source can provide assistance for submarine search and rescue.

Amidst the cheers of "Good Day", the iron ball sank into the deep sea of ​​3200 meters.

【Notice from Wang Fugui, homework starts...】

[Safety is more important than Mount Tai, please follow the manipulation rules. 】

Chapter 353 Underwater Discovery

[Thousands of safety production rules, the first rule of law! 】

Under the constant reminder of the iron ball system, Wang Fugui started the underwater operation.

Click, the rope holding the iron ball was automatically untied, and the iron ball was free at this moment.

【Good luck...really good luck...】

Amidst the celebratory sounds in the cockpit, the foreman used a signal to remind Wang Fugui to keep up.

On the seabed in the distance, LED lights illuminate the bottom of the sea. The navy has opened a defensive circle around the exploration site and deployed unmanned submersibles around it.

These intelligent submersibles will patrol the periphery of the seabed and use passive sonar to monitor abnormal noises. Once it is determined that the opponent's voiceprint is not in the IFF recognition list, the unmanned submersible will freely attack the target.

The sound produced by the explosion of the unmanned submersible can be used as an early warning mechanism to tell the sonar operator that something is approaching.

Wang Fugui skillfully manipulated the iron ball to follow behind the foreman, and soon crossed the other four iron balls driving towards him. After the two parties greeted each other with lights, they entered the seabed exploration site.

Under the illumination of LED lights, a small town appears on the seabed...

The underwater city, which made Wang Fugui's eyes widen when he saw this scene for the first time. After getting closer, he discovered that this underwater ruins

It seems to have sunk to the bottom of the ocean due to the movement of continental plates.

At the ruins, there are 16 other iron balls working, and the pulse lights on the iron balls flicker from time to time, indicating their own status.

I have to say that people are really social animals. In an unfamiliar environment, working alone and working with a group of people, especially working with friends, are really two states.

The foreman gave instructions with lights: disperse, search, and pay attention to safety!

After giving instructions, Wang Fugui joined the underwater treasure hunt.

For an unknown number of years, some buildings in the ruins have been severely damaged, and some buildings are still well preserved. Although Wang Fugui doesn't know much about the architectural style, he vaguely feels that it looks like he has seen it in the "Kingdom of Bell". building.

"that is?"

Soon, Wang Fugui stopped in front of a collapsed building, and the light shone through the gaps in the building, as if he saw a metal-like reflection...

[There is a situation! 】

Wang Fugui sent out a light signal to remind him that he had discovered some special circumstances. The foreman and workers quickly stopped and approached the ruins, while the workers also looked around vigilantly.

Although the iron ball has no self-defense weapons, the two hydraulic mechanical arms are not decorations!

After the foreman's machine approached, he repeatedly confirmed that there was indeed a metal reflection inside, and manipulated the external module of the foreman's machine to send the needle in.

The foreman of the iron ball is not as simple as watching the workers work on the assembly line, or even acting as a foreman with a capitalist dog. The foreman here has professional underwater knowledge and knows how to deal with underwater accidents. Bring the underwater workers up safely!

Representing the most advanced productivity and the fundamental interests of the workers, their assessment is much stricter than that of ordinary workers!

The foreman manipulated the probe to go deep into the gap. The top of the probe has its own lighting system, and the optical sensor sends out the internal picture.

"This is..."

What is sent back in the picture seems to be some kind of machine, and it is still a well-preserved machine, which is very valuable for scientific research.

After retracting the probe, the foreman first inserted a beacon transmitter into the building to remind other operation teams that there were valuable objects here, and then signaled for excavation.

However, underwater operations are a technical activity, and risks must be assessed in detail before excavation.

Life is more important than Mount Tai!

The foreman spent at least 20 minutes repeatedly exploring the building, and after confirming that there was no additional risk, the foreman signaled for excavation.

Four iron balls work in groups of two to clean up the collapsed buildings.

Underwater operations, due to the existence of buoyancy, everything that looks heavy is not as heavy as imagined, plus the powerful force provided by the iron ball hydraulic arm, quickly cleaned up some large pieces of debris...

However, the speed of cleaning is not fast. It took half an hour to clean up initially...

Wang Fugui glanced at the notification in the cockpit. He had been working underwater for an hour and a half, and he had to return to the surface in two and a half hours.

After cleaning for another half an hour, Wang Fugui finally saw what was buried under the water after the sediment caused by the activity settled. A "vehicle" that seemed to have a relatively well-preserved main body. There is a hole in the shell that appears to be caused by some kind of weapon.

However, Wang Fugui didn't care if the vehicle was destroyed. That was a question for the experts to think about. He only knew: This bonus must be very generous, at least six figures!

I am a coworker, a poor guy who can't afford a house on earth, and can't find a partner. Now he has married a beautiful local girl and bought a low-rise of 130 square meters. His small life is getting more and more prosperous.

The foreman signaled to the workers to clean up the surroundings of the vehicle and prepare to send the vehicle to it.

Wang Fugui and his workers started to get busy. They used the mechanical arm to push some broken stones away, and the steel cables were tied to the vehicle. Then one worker manipulated the iron ball to act as a crane, and the other two workers cooperated to lift the vehicle. .

Buzzing... The propeller of the iron ball stirs the sea water, the steel cable is gradually tightened, and the tension generated is transmitted to the vehicle, and the vehicle is slowly pulled up. injury.

It took at least another 40 minutes before they cleared the vehicle. Wang Fugui instinctively looked at the position below the vehicle. Under the illumination of the light, a huge skeleton appeared in his field of vision.

The skeleton seemed to be hit by a vehicle, and there were multiple fracture marks on the body. Under the long erosion of sea water, the flesh and blood on the surface had been decomposed cleanly, but it could be vaguely seen that it was left by some kind of creature. Not human!

Looking at the moment of the huge skeleton, I don't know if it was Wang Fugui's illusion. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, giant phobia?

He turned his head and glanced at the foreman, and asked with a light signal: how to deal with it.

【Next time】

They have obtained a high-value vehicle, and what they need to do now is to send this high-value gadget to the water.

The four iron balls pushed the vehicle towards the direction of the winch, and the distance from the unknown creature was getting farther and farther away.

After driving to the position of the winch, the foreman buckled the vehicle on the winch, and the other iron balls also fixed themselves, quietly waiting for the winch to start, and took them home.

Chapter 354

The hoist pulls the iron ball in the sea and the received ancient civilization vehicles to rise towards the sea.

In the cab, Wang Fugui was thinking about how much bonus he could receive for this exploration, and he could also get credit for it. Now that he is working here, his friends can earn money and make meritorious deeds... It's very encouraging.

Thinking about it, Wang Fugui suddenly felt the iron ball shake.

On the bottom of the sea, it's normal to have undercurrents. If you don't have professional training, you may throw up after shaking a few times.

Wang Fugui adjusted his sitting posture and looked at the vehicle of ancient civilization, wanting to confirm whether the vehicle was fixed firmly.

I saw the vehicle swaying slightly with the undercurrent. After all, this is in the ocean, which is inevitable, and the underwater undercurrent is much more violent than the wind and waves on the sea.

"what?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wang Fugui seemed to see that the vehicle was shaking, and something like an "Ultraman energy indicator" lit up on it.

Can't help but control the iron ball to take a closer look...

The propeller pushed the iron ball and approached the vehicle. Wang Fugui found that there was indeed a flashing light on the vehicle!

Suddenly, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he hurriedly manipulated the signal light, flashing a few times to attract the foreman's attention.

The pulse light signal attracted the foreman's attention, and he couldn't help but control the iron ball to come closer. Wang Fugui pointed to the indicator light on the ancient civilization vehicle.

"!!!"

The foreman glanced at the time, and it would take 20 minutes before they floated to the depth where they could communicate. Once they reached the predetermined depth, they had to send the message as soon as possible.

Under 3200 meters of water, it is difficult to send news to the surface, which means that at this moment the surface fleet does not know that they have caught a big "treasure".

I hope there will be no surprises in these 20 minutes.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of an explosion coming from the distant sea.

The foreman who often heard such explosions immediately recognized what weapon it was - 533MM anti-submarine torpedoes!

--------------------------------------

The Type 039 API submarine on duty in the outermost circle is listening for abnormal noises underwater.

Suddenly, the passive sonar caught the sound of something stirring the sea water, and the sonar officer couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Azimuth 340, distance 1200... It is confirmed that there is a sea beast approaching..."

"Tube No. [-]..."

Before the captain could finish speaking, another signal was heard in the sonar.

"Captain, another sound source is found... No! It's two!"

"Launch tube No. [-], launch tube No. [-], and launch tube No. [-]!"

The captain gave the order to launch the torpedo without hesitation, and then said: "After launching the torpedo, adjust the course, approach the fleet, and load a new torpedo."

"understand!"

The 039 boat is just a scout at the front. It is impossible to deal with the enemy's attack with a single boat, and it needs the cover of surface ships.

The surface and underwater cooperate with each other, and it takes a long time for the submarine to replace the torpedo, which requires surface ships to cover.

Under the impact of the pulse water tank, the torpedoes in the torpedo launch tubes are ejected from the launch tube, and then under the control of the optical fiber wires, they move towards the positions of the three sound sources.

The captain of the 039 submarine took the pocket watch in his pocket and started timing.

In the launch state, because the fiber optic cable behind the torpedo is connected to the fire control system of the submarine, it is impossible to make an emergency turn, which would tear the fragile fiber optic cable.

Three 533MM heavy-duty torpedoes kept approaching the location where the abnormal noise occurred. After reaching the predetermined attack area, the optical fiber was cut off, the torpedo self-guiding sonar head was activated, and active sonar was fired towards the fan-shaped area in front.

(((?)))

Active sonar waves hit the sea beast, and hardened areas of the sea beast's shell reflected the sonar back, pointing the way to the torpedo.
