Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

Popular recommendation:

"Fifteen years ago?!"

Roger's remarks immediately attracted Meng Lei's attention.

When the Ceres died, it was the 138th year of the Alien Calendar.

Pushing it forward 20 years, it is the approximate time when the alien pioneers lost contact with the parent star, which is about 118 years of the alien calendar.

The current background time is 212 years of the alien calendar, and 15 years ago was 197 years of the alien calendar.

It means that these alien colonists have indeed lost contact with their mother planet for nearly eighty years!

No contact was made for eighty years, and suddenly a communication came 15 years ago.

Moreover, it is still related to their Blue Stars.

This kind of thing is really incomprehensible.

Meng Lei didn't speak, he held the teacup in his hand, sat up straight with a very serious look, and waited for Roger's next words.

This seems like a long story.

After Roger finished saying those words, he drank the pomegranate tea, sorted out his thoughts, and finally said slowly:

"If you speak directly from 15 years ago, you may not understand it for a while, so I will tell you from the beginning."

"All ears."

"About two hundred years ago, we Tia people just developed mature interstellar navigation capabilities and came to this long-observed ocean planet in this galaxy.

The initial field survey and colonization process need not be repeated too much.

You just need to know.

The first alien pioneers, after 20 years, finally broke through the outer ice layer, and then established the first outposts in the ocean.

The entire colonization process in the early stage was very smooth, with the continuous support of materials and manpower from the mother star.

Our exploration and mining of alien planets has achieved amazing results in just 50 years!

Generally, a large number of outposts have been established in the waters with a depth of more than 3,000 meters.

And based on this, start to explore deeper areas.

However, it is precisely because of this that Calamity begins..."

Having said that, Roger picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

"In the waters above three thousand meters, everything is normal.

But with the continuous deep diving of those pioneers, we found that there are a large number of ancient civilization relics in the deep abyss of this planet!

The civilization represented by these relics is very ancient and cannot be traced back!

And so far, we have not found any remains about the founder of this unknown civilization.

They only left behind a large number of relic buildings, and the crystallization of technology that we can't understand.

By studying these relics, the technological level of the parent star has risen rapidly in a short period of time!

at the same time.

We also discovered another secret hidden under this dark abyss..."

Meng Lei was a little taken aback.

When Roger stopped drinking water, he couldn't help asking:

"What secret?"

Roger smiled slightly.

He did not directly answer Meng Lei's question, but instead asked:

"Do you know about hyperspace?"

Meng Lei was startled.

This question obviously touched his knowledge blind spot.

He hasn't even studied in college, how can he understand what hyperspace is talking about with him?

Shaking his head candidly, Meng Lei said confidently:

"do not know."

Roger smiled, not surprised, and said:

"I don't know if you players are in the same universe as us, and if the basic physics framework is the same.

But since the mother star has chosen you.

Come to think of us, there is not much deviation in our cognition. "

After a pause, Roger continued:

"You can understand that.

Hyperspace is a multidimensional space. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

If Roger explained it like this, he could still understand it.

In the era of the Blue Star information explosion.

Many literature and film and television works have derived a lot of things about multi-dimensional space and metaverse.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Meng Lei will also dabble more or less.

"You keep talking."

Meng Lei asked, "What does this planet have to do with hyperspace?"

"It's a big deal!"

Roger's tone suddenly became serious.

"The study of the products in those remnants through the parent star is getting deeper and deeper.

Our civilization has gradually mastered shallow space technology.

The most practical applications for alien development are space storage boxes that are easier to transport, and subspace transmission technology.

However, the understanding of space technology is still insufficient.

Researchers worry that, like genetic technology, there may be some unknown and far-reaching effects on organisms.

Therefore, there are no experiments in which such techniques are applied to humans.

But that's all.

These technologies have also greatly helped the development of Alien and the entire civilization!

Take advantage of these techniques.

The second batch of pioneers covered the entire alien ocean with various strongholds and outposts in a very short period of time!

According to data records.

The advance team with the fastest exploration progress once established a forward base in the deep sea of ​​nearly 30,000 meters.

And as the depth increases, the number of ancient civilization relics also increases.

This further stimulates our desire to explore deeper seas!

However…"

Roger's tone suddenly stopped.

Meng Lei realized that the key point was coming.

A major accident that will change the fate of these Tia stars may be about to happen.

So he sat up and looked at Roger seriously.

Roger said solemnly:

"However, suddenly one day.

Space technology below 20,000 meters under the sea is completely invalid!

Things like space storage boxes and warp teleportation became extremely unstable, and a series of disasters followed.

The items in the space storage box are often lost.

And after a while, randomly appear anywhere.

If you are lucky, you can even lose it directly, or appear in some unimportant places.

Like in the sea, in rock formations…

But if you are unlucky, it may appear directly in the airlock wall of the outpost.

This resulted in structural damage and seawater backflow.

More serious, it may appear in submarines or nuclear reactors in outposts.

Cause the reactor to melt down or leak, explode and other disasters!

Such a phenomenon radiates frantically from the deep area to the shallow area in a short period of time.

It caused unimaginable and heavy losses to the entire alien colony!

Later, it was discovered through research.

The possibility of this happening is because of space tides.

In the deepest depths of this alien ocean lies some kind of hyperspace beyond our comprehension.

When the space tide erupts.

Anything built on our shallow theory of space will become extremely unstable.

Therefore, it will lead to disaster. "

When Roger said this, Meng Lei suddenly realized something.

He nodded thoughtfully and said:

"So, just to be safe.

You will ban the use of space lockers, and warp teleportation technology.

Continue to choose ordinary storage boxes based on the physics of three-dimensional space, and conventional logistics and transportation methods to maintain the development of the colony? "

Roger looked up at Meng Lei, smiled slightly, and nodded:

"Clever, indeed."

Meng Lei was suddenly stunned.

At this time, he finally solved the doubts he had always had.

Why is there such a big technological gap between the storage boxes used by players and the storage boxes of alien aborigines found elsewhere?

Emotional problems are here!

Roger took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued:

"With the discovery of hyperspace that exists deep in the ocean.

The parent star has invested more resources and intensified efforts to carry out scientific research in this area.

The results are gratifying.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

When the parent star finally made a breakthrough in the research of hyperspace science.

someday.

The connection between us and the parent star was suddenly cut off.

Since then, for seventy-eight years.

We alien colonists seem to have been abandoned in this dark and desolate deep sea, become orphans of wandering interstellar, and can no longer find the direction of home..."

When Roger said this, the expression on his face was obviously a little low.

It seems that there is a special love for the mother star who has never met.

This made Meng Lei feel a little abnormal.

Three generations of youth have passed. At Roger's age, it is obvious that he was born in this gloomy and dark metal fortress, and the door is a deep and boundless vast sea.

For these people, the world should be like this, not to mention the sense of belonging to the parent star.

But Roger's expression betrayed him.

Obviously, there is a burning yearning and deep regret for the mother star.

In this regard, Meng Lei did not ask too much, and quietly kept this detail in his heart.

Then, as if he didn't see anything, he directly asked the key to everything.

"Later, what was the content of the communication sent by the parent star fifteen years ago? What does it have to do with our players? What caused them to lose contact?"

Meng Lei raised several questions in succession.

Roger adjusted his emotions and said:

"The reason for the loss of contact with the parent star is actually very simple.

In the process of researching hyperspace science, an accident occurred, causing the entire race to fall into crisis.

The specific content of the accident is unknown to us.

And we don't know how far their research has gone.

In the newsletter fifteen years ago, the parent star was only mentioned.

One day in the future, there will be Blue Stars who will descend into this deep sea as players.

At that time.

All of us need to work together to uncover the secrets hidden in the deepest depths of the sea to save our tribe!

No other information is mentioned.

Moreover, after this communication, the mother star has continued to be silent until now, and no contact can be made anymore. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei frowned slightly:

"So, we Blue Star people were forcibly kidnapped by your parent star using some kind of hyperspace technology?!"

Roger's expression was a little stiff, but he kept a polite smile.

Nodding his head, he said helplessly:

"It's okay if you understand that."

"Depend on!"

Meng Lei suddenly became furious, and an evil fire swept through his heart.

The bomb pomegranate tea in my hand is not fragrant in an instant.

"I said, you people from Tia, are you too careless?!

We Lanxing people are living well in our hometown. You didn't even say hello in advance, you just brought people here? ! Have you asked us if we would like to? !

save you? Who will save us? !

After running over a thousand kilometers, who are the Blue Stars who died on the road to reason with? !

Since we have the ability to bring us here, why not send it directly to the gathering place?

Why take so many detours? !

and also.

What's the difference between you doing this and pushing our species to extinction?

You can't find your way home, where are we going to look?

We don't even know if we are in the original universe now, what else are we talking about saving your race? ! "

Understand the cause and effect of things.

As an innocent Blue Star man, Meng Lei felt quite angry!

Is this the consequence of differences in civilization levels?

In the face of this kind of technology, Blue Star people have no ability to resist!

Roger shook his head and smiled:

"The behavior, capabilities, and purpose of the home planet, we long-abandoned colonists, cannot interfere.

I am also deeply sorry for what happened to you.

But at this point, we have no other choice.

If we want to save ourselves, the only way out now is to continue to explore deeper into the abyss.

Until all the mysteries are revealed! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei lost his temper.

It's over, what else can happen?

With the technology level of these alien colonists, it is absolutely impossible to send them back to Blue Star.

There are only two choices in front of the Blue Star people now.

Or it is to rot on this alien planet, try to integrate, and spend the rest of my life in thoughts and memories.

Or, continue to explore deeper waters.

Like Roger said.

Uncover the secrets hidden in the deepest depths of Haiyuan, and find out what is going on.

Other than that, incompetent fury won't solve any problems.

"in addition…"

At this time, Roger saw Meng Lei's expression softened a little, and continued:

"The so-called salvation of the mother planet does not simply refer to us Tia people.

Among them, it also includes you Blue Star people.

This last communication record mentioned that there may be a way to return to Blue Star in the hyperspace domain deep in the abyss.

therefore.

Exploring the abyss is the common self-rescue of our two civilized races! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly sneered:

"Oh, co-authoring to get us here is to work for you?!

If you do a good job, pay the toll to go home, if you do a bad job, you will die here? ! "

What Meng Lei said was straightforward and vivid.

Roger smiled noncommittally and said:

"Again, this was never the intention of us outcast colonists, everything is dominated by the home planet.

In fact, so many years have passed.

This generation and the next generation have made Alien our home planet.

We have been paving the way for our own future since we lost contact with our home planet nearly a hundred years ago.

Whether or not to go back to the birthplace of the Tia people, or to save the race of the mother planet, not too many people care.

The leading philosophy of the current alliance is to stick to our only remaining homeland.

Maintain the status quo and develop steadily.

There is no need to investigate the deep zone any further. "

Roger's voice fell.

Meng Lei suddenly realized a problem and said doubtfully:

"By the way, didn't you say before that there was an advance team that dived into the deep sea of ​​nearly 30,000 meters and established an advance base?

At that depth, haven't you discovered the secrets of the abyss? "

Roger took a sip of tea, shook his head helplessly, and said:

"What happened back then is now a secret forever.

Most of the outposts in the Deep Zone and the Flat Zone have been destroyed since the space tidal phenomenon occurred.

And over the years, the geological structure of the deep ocean has changed several times.

As a result, there were faults in the former waterway, and it was no longer possible to follow the original route to find the bases of the year.

even.

We still don't know if any of our compatriots have survived in the Deep Zone.

Coupled with the alliance's current development concept of seeking stability in danger, it is even more impossible to open up a new channel and sneak into the deep zone. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei took a deep breath.

Frowning, he took a sip of the pomegranate tea that had cooled a bit.

Maybe it's the mood.

The scarlet tea was no longer sweet and delicious, but became bitter.

Now, the reason for everything is clear.

To explain in an easy-to-understand way, it is an alien civilization that was once more developed, and playing with multi-dimensional space has ruined itself.

Then, they used some kind of high-tech means to forcibly kidnap the Blue Stars and work for them to wipe their butts.

The point is, this work is done without wages, and it is not necessarily whether or not you can go home after finishing the work.

This is even worse than a capitalist!

Thinking of the pit, Meng Lei raised a series of questions.

For example, the system, such as the various big pits encountered along the way, what is the situation?

In this regard, Roger said with a smile.

Everything is the means of the mother star, and they do not know it.

Hearing this, Meng Lei was completely out of temper, and finally couldn't help but patted the table and asked:

"What about the ice collapse?

Don't talk about that cheating mother star, just made up a pretext, just to urge us to work, right? ! "

Roger shook his head and said with a smile:

"That's not true, ice collapse is a very common phenomenon on this planet.

Because there is a special substance dissolved in the ocean of this planet, the density of water is lower than normal.

And the huge layer of ice covering the surface of the planet expels special substances in the water when it condenses.

Therefore, ice is even denser than water!

As a result, when the thickness of the ice layer reaches a certain level, a large area of ​​collapse will occur, and it will fall into the deep sea like a rock.

But generally speaking, when the depth of the water is about 3,500 meters, the damage of the ice layer will be minimized.

The temperature of this sea area will also melt the ice.

Repeated cycle, will form a periodic collapse. "

After all, Meng Lei is not engaged in scientific research. He is a little confused about these theories.

However, he still accurately realized.

This phenomenon seems to be different in essence from the sharp ice rock he had guessed.

In the mentality of studying and asking questions, Meng Lei raised a question.

Roger still patiently gave an explanation.

"The sharp ice rock belongs to a strange substance, and it is different from the ice layer on the surface of the planet.

We have not yet figured out the cause of the formation of this substance.

But at least for now, there is not much research value. "

After speaking, Roger smiled and looked at Meng Lei:

"Captain Meng, is there any problem?"

To receive such a huge amount of information all at once, Meng Lei also needs a certain amount of time to digest.

The things I wanted to ask about the Painted Skin sect and clowns were completely forgotten and forgotten.

"Temporarily... gone."

Roger smiled slightly, raised his hand and lightly supported the silver frame on the bridge of his nose.

"If there is no problem, please describe the situation of the D12 outpost.

Including information about the original Typhon.

After confirmation, I will arrange relevant personnel to complete the registration procedures for you, including your personal ID card. "

Next, Meng Lei briefly explained the situation.

While listening carefully, Roger recorded and compared something on the electronic device.

After a while, everything was explained.

Roger got up with the electronic device in one hand, and said to Meng Lei:

"Okay, then wait here for a while."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the reception room.

About five minutes later, the gentle-looking Roger pushed open the door and said:

"Alright, Captain Meng.

That first-generation Typhon-class submarine has been registered for you.

Later, you can drive it and gallop across this alien ocean.

Of course, it is limited to outposts and gathering places under the jurisdiction of the Alliance.

Very few independent colonies, and outposts under the command of some private companies, we have no right to interfere. "

With that said, Roger handed Meng Lei a blue card:

"This is your personal ID card, please keep it.

From now on, you are an alien citizen.

Hope to see your legends in magazines from time to time in the days to come! "

Meng Lei reached out and took the blue card with his picture and number printed on it.

It seems that it is indeed similar to the ID card.

"To be honest, I quite admire your luck and ability."

At this time, Roger returned to his position.

With a hint of envy in his eyes, he said:

"Surviving an abandoned outpost occupied by creepers, and even picking up an intact original Typhon!

Such an experience is enough to occupy a page in Searle Weekly! "

"Searle Weekly?"

Meng Lei raised his eyebrows. Hearing the name, it seemed to be a magazine?

"That's right!"

Roger nodded and smiled:

"Searle Weekly, founded by our Searle City, is the best-selling magazine in the entire 66671 waterway!

Issued once a week, it publishes the current affairs of the alliance around the world, as well as interesting facts about celebrities in each channel.

Your experience is fully qualified to be shortlisted.

Maybe the editor of the magazine will come to visit before you finish the chores at hand! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't help being surprised.

"I just picked up a submarine, and it has such a big impact?"

"of course!"

Roger looked right and said:

"Compared with other players, you can't describe it as an exaggeration!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something.

Holding the mirror frame, Roger said embarrassedly:

"Look, I forgot, as soon as you got off the ship, you were invited to our security office. You haven't had time to read the manual, and naturally you don't know many precautions.

In this way, I will briefly introduce to you. "

After clearing his throat, Roger motioned for Meng Lei to sit down and said:

"Because of the phenomenon of space tides, the submarines equipped by your Blue Star players are prohibited from passing to deeper waters below three thousand meters.

If you want to continue to explore in depth, you must replace it with an ordinary submarine specified by the alliance.

In terms of the lowest-priced G-class exploration submarines currently produced by the Sea City Shipyard.

It also takes fifty thousand marks to win!

For most ordinary people in the city, even if they live frugally for a year, they may not be able to save enough. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei frowned again.

"In other words, all of us Blue Star players have to work for you first.

After making enough money, buy a new submarine to move on? ! "

Roger shook his head and smiled helplessly:

"Can't say that either.

Our alliance will not force you to explore the deep zone.

If Blue Star players want to live a stable life.

You can find a job in the city at will, and settle in Xier City.

As the population is in a downward trend every year.

Therefore, there are a lot of vacancies in many positions now, and finding a job is a very easy thing.

But if anyone wants to dive into the abyss to explore the root of everything for the future of the race.

So.

You can also drive the initial submarine equipped for you by the parent star, receive bounties from the city hall, and operate in the shallow waters of more than 3,000 kilometers to quickly complete the original accumulation. "

After a pause, Roger sighed:

"The money earned from the bounty task is much higher than the ordinary salary.

It is quite easy to earn five or six thousand marks after a task!

If you work harder, you can buy a G-class exploration submarine in less than half a month!

This is why, so far, there are many bounty hunters who have given up their stable life in the gathering place, and risked huge risks to dive into the abyss again and again.

So, if you want to keep going to the deep zone.

The threshold of 50,000 yuan is definitely not too high. "

Having said that, Meng Lei immediately realized another problem.

"If my submarine Guixu cannot continue to advance to the deep zone, what should I do if I stay here?"

For the answer to this question, Roger is clearly prepared.

In other words, it is the Alien Alliance that has already had a corresponding solution.

"It's easy!"

With a standard professional smile on his face, Roger said:

"If you change other subs, after diving deep.

Then the initial submarine equipped by the mother star can stay in the city of Xier.

We'll rent it out to local Tia who can't afford a submarine, for undersea tours, or part-time bounty hunters.

The income earned during the period will be automatically transferred to your citizen account. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly felt a little lost!

If he had known this earlier, then he would not have needed to upgrade all the facilities of Guixu to the full level.

A lot of resources are wasted for no reason.

In the end, it was cheaper for these alien natives.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei couldn't help sighing, wishing he could beat his chest.

Seeing this, Roger couldn't help but smile:

"Captain Meng, you don't need to feel sorry.

Although these primary submarines produced by the mother star are indeed very advanced and convenient to a certain extent.

But if you have seen the large submarines produced by our alliance, you will never have any interest in such small submarines! "

Meng Lei rolled his eyes at Roger and said angrily:

"Large submarine?! I'm afraid I won't be interested in its price either."

Roger was slightly startled, and then laughed:

"Hahaha, Captain Meng, you are really humorous!"

After a short pause, Roger took a sip of the already cold Bomb pomegranate tea and said:

"The person who can win the first kill in the channel must have extraordinary ability, and will he worry about money?!

Besides, you now own an original Typhon right out of the box.

Skip the most difficult primitive accumulation stage, and have gone far ahead of all players!

I believe money to you, the future is just a number. "

In the face of this near-killing commercial tout, Meng Leipi looked at Roger with a smile.

"I believe you!"

After speaking, he suddenly asked curiously:

"By the way, I've been hearing what you guys say about the first-generation Typhon boat. What do you mean?"

This question has been plaguing Meng Lei for a long time.

From the first time the bearded security officer said the name, he had doubts and could not understand the specific meaning.

At this time, I heard Roger explain:

"The concept of Typhon has existed a long time ago.

According to records, this name is based on a myth and legend of the parent star, meaning giant!

The Alliance later defined it as the nickname for the Giant-class submarine.

The submarine you picked up at Outpost D12 is a first-generation Typhon-class submarine.

It may seem a little out of date now.

But at that time, it was definitely the leader among submarines of the same tonnage class!

Regardless of performance, structure, firepower configuration, UU reading www. uukanshu.com or shell hardness, they are all top-notch!

Even now, it can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of F-class submarines.

If you want to buy a submarine of the same level, you need at least 150,000 marks! "

Speaking of this, Roger looked at Meng Lei with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"It's like saying that you walked around the D12 outpost, and although you experienced some dangers, you finally picked up 150,000 marks for nothing!

With such good luck, looking at so many Blue Star players around the world, I am afraid you are the only one!

That's why I said that the editor of Searle Weekly will most likely come to you for an exclusive interview. "

"in addition."

Taking a breath, Roger continued:

"Your original Typhon was meticulously refurbished by pirates.

Although it may not be so beautiful, those bone decorations are all high-quality goods!

In addition to those stocks in your warehouse, if all of them are sold, they can be sold for at least 100,000 marks!

Therefore, the total value of this ship is even more than 250,000 marks!

You can now understand how huge the gap between other Blue Star players and you is? "

After listening to Roger's words, in the next long time.

Meng Lei has always been in a state of confusion.

He didn't even have much impression of how he got out of the Security Office in the end.

What is the concept of 250,000 marks and how much purchasing power is there?

He doesn't have a clear understanding yet.

However, Meng Lei had a clear idea of ​​his current identity.

To describe it in one word it is.

upstart!
