Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

Popular recommendation:

Although the first generation of Typhon boats are relatively outdated.

But in terms of overall performance, it can still be in the middle and upper reaches of the same displacement level.

There are many bounty hunters who have been wandering between the abyss all the year round,

The car that survives may not be able to compare to this old antique.

therefore,

When the beautiful receptionist heard Meng Lei's words, her pretty little face was immediately filled with shock.

She never thought of it anyway,

A Blue Star player who had just arrived in Sear City was able to drive such a luxurious submarine.

especially,

The other party looked young, only in his early twenties.

If this is placed in the alien society, it is definitely a proper rich second generation!

for a while,

The slightly stiff professional smile of the beautiful receptionist suddenly became agile.

That slightly provocative gaze became increasingly undisguised and more aggressive.

"Sir, what's your name?"

Intentionally or unintentionally, she moved forward a point, and the beautiful receptionist looked at Meng Lei with burning eyes.

Meng Lei leaned back calmly and said with a smile:

"My name is Meng Lei."

Hearing this, the beautiful receptionist bowed slightly,

The plump professional clothes were about to come out, the snow-white arms were gently raised, and the slender wrists were lowered in front of Meng Lei:

"Hello, Mr. Meng, my name is Nona."

Meng Lei nodded slightly, and politely shook hands with the receptionist.

He was very clear about this beauty's intentions.

However, he did not have the time and mood,

There is no hobby to have a deeper contact with each other.

At the moment, Meng Lei went straight to the point and asked:

"How much is the cost of maintenance for a submarine like mine?"

Nona didn't care about Meng Lei's incomprehensible amorous feelings.

Gently withdrew his little hand and said:

"The overall length of the first-generation Typhon was 52 meters, with a diameter of 15 meters and a displacement of 3,000 tons.

Submarines of this size, as long as the damage to the hull is not particularly severe,

If you just do one maintenance, you only need 3,000 marks. "

Hearing the words, Meng Lei took a deep breath, imperceptibly.

Good guy, it's actually 3,000 marks for a maintenance, it's really not that expensive!

But on second thought, it seems that it is not unacceptable.

After all, he just ate the money for the maintenance of his submarine for the dark meal just now.

And a newest handheld tablet sells for thousands.

It seems,

It only costs 3,000 to maintain such a large submarine at a time, which is not particularly excessive.

But Ning Wen doesn't think so anymore.

Hearing Nona's offer, he suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and couldn't help but say:

"Brother Lei, we have to save money in the future, we can't be so extravagant anymore, we will eat the maintenance fee in one meal, and if we still eat it, we will be troubled!

If I knew this, I might as well buy a few fish and grill them..."

He does not mean that.

Holding the league's latest handheld tablet in her hand, she ate her one month's basic salary for one meal.

In Nona's eyes,

Even though Meng Lei was a Blue Star player who had just entered the deep sea, he had no social background.

But young and rich, it is definitely a potential stock worth cultivating!

mind turning,

While responding to Meng Lei's question, Nona took a brochure from the magazine rack beside the table and placed it on the tea table in front of the sofa.

Then, Chong Meng Lei introduced:

"Mr Meng,

Although the performance of the first-generation Typhon is very different, the structural design is also quite ingenious.

But relatively speaking, many hardware devices are outdated.

After all, the original intention of designing it back then was only to sail in shallow seas within 3,500 meters.

The level of technology at that time was far from what it is now.

So, if you want to go deeper,

For the sake of safety, and at the same time to improve performance, it will bring you a better sailing experience.

It is suggested here that you can do some local upgrades and targeted transformations as appropriate.

I don't know, do you have any intention in this regard? "

It sounds like Nona's advice is very pertinent, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But several people present knew very well that these remarks were nothing more than a marketing tactic.

In the final analysis, I still want Meng Lei to spend more money.

But then again,

If it was selling something else, Meng Lei might just wave away.

But about the promotion of submarine upgrades, he couldn't refuse.

after all,

This is what he depends on to survive, who doesn't want to make it more reliable?

Moreover, Meng Lei also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the transformation of ordinary submarines.

So he nodded, took the brochure in Nona's hand, and said:

"First give me a general introduction, your upgrade content."

heard,

The expression on Nona's face suddenly became happy, and she hurriedly said:

"Is such that,

Although the first-generation Typhon boats were sturdy and reliable, most of the channels in the deeper waters were narrow and occluded.

It is necessary to travel through rock tunnels and mountain cavities.

Therefore, bumps are inevitable during sailing.

It is recommended that you upgrade the submarine shell to increase the hardness.

This will not only better resist the sea monster attack, but also reduce the trauma caused by the collision.

in addition,

Many electrical components of the first-generation Typhon boat are relatively outdated.

You can replace a batch of supercaps and add some extra battery packs.

In this way, you can avoid a series of safety hazards caused by unstable power in the event of an emergency.

even when your reactor fails,

It can also maintain the normal operation of the submarine for a certain period of time.

In addition to that, we can also add railguns for you…”

During the next half hour,

Nona kept introducing some upgrade options to Meng Lei.

And clearly pointed out all kinds of hidden dangers, as well as the comparison of advantages and disadvantages before and after the transformation.

Ning Wen probably did the math on the side.

If you follow what Nona said, this Typhon boat will be completely remodeled from the inside out.

Without 80,000 to 90,000 marks, I can't get down at all!

At such a high cost, it is almost possible to buy two of the cheapest new submarines.

but,

The benefits are also obvious.

At present, the overall evaluation of this Typhon boat is F, and the evaluation after the transformation can reach the top ranks of the F+ level!

If you can spend a little more money to change the structure of the submarine,

It is not impossible to jump out of the F-level circle and jump to the E-level ranks.

Meng Lei flipped through the leaflet while listening to Nona's dictation.

There is a dazzling array of product introductions, and I am dazzled when I see him, and I am very excited!

But the funds on hand are really limited.

Today, the fleet is still in the start-up period, and there are places where money is used.

Next, we have to recruit crew members and buy supplies...

If all the money is used to refit the submarine, it will definitely greatly affect the early development.

Eyes are constantly wandering on the various options of the brochure,

He felt that every item was very useful, which made it difficult for him to part with love, and was extremely entangled.

Hesitate again and again,

Meng Lei finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

After some basic reinforcement of the submarine shell, the overall structure will not move. The water depth of 3,500 meters is barely sufficient for now.

in addition,

Replace a batch of super capacitors for the submarine and install some battery packs.

In this way, the safety factor can be improved.

Even with full firepower, the submarine can maintain full speed without worrying about stalling.

besides,

The installation of rail guns is also necessary. Even the initial wasteland boats have rail guns.

He doesn't even have a railgun in such a high-end car, which is really unreasonable.

At least there must be a long-range heavy firepower beside him to feel at ease.

Finally, there is a crucial advanced defense system,

Electromagnetic coil!

This thing is installed on the hull of the submarine and can be used to make up for the dead spot of the gun turret.

Once bullied by a large number of monsters and sticking to the surface of the hull, when trying to destroy the hull,

The electromagnetic coil can release a strong current in an instant,

It stuns and paralyzes all monsters within a certain range, incapacitating the ability to move, thus making the submarine out of danger.

Of course,

When this electromagnetic coil is used,

Not only does it generate several kilowatts of instantaneous power, it also consumes a lot of power reserves.

This is also the reason why Meng Lei has to replace the supercapacitor and battery pack.

And this high-voltage current can only deal with small sea monsters such as creepers.

Big guys like the Hammerhead Demon Queen and Moloke are bound to be ineffective.

But at least it can play a certain role in the protection of the guards, and it is also a very practical piece of equipment.

finally,

Meng Lei sketched the renovation projects he carefully selected and handed them over to the receptionist Nona.

This alien beauty swept her eyes lightly, and her bright red lips immediately evoked a thrilling arc.

A single transaction reaches a renovation order of 40,000 marks,

At the Sill City Shipyard, it has not been seen for a long time.

Most of the customers who frequent this place are bounty hunters.

The Alliance fleet has its own independent military shipyard, and rarely has any intersection with the shipyard in the gathering place.

As long as those bounty hunters make enough money, they will upgrade the submarine as soon as possible to ensure the safety of their next voyage.

Therefore, the sales of a single transformation order is 40,000,

It's already quite impressive!

Although the beautiful receptionist Nona introduced so much, she never imagined that Meng Lei was so rich.

At the moment, holding the transformation list excitedly, he got up and said to Meng Lei:

"Mr. Meng, if you're sure, let's sign the contract now."

Meng Lei nodded.

Follow Nona to the negotiation room and sign the transformation agreement.

Then, under the guidance of Nona, he went to the financial room on the second floor to pay.

All procedures are completed.

Nona accepted the contract and said to Meng Lei:

"Mr Meng, the overall renovation process of your submarine is expected to take four days.

Our crew will take your submarine back to the shipyard dock later.

After four days, you can just come and pick it up. "

Meng Lei nodded and said:

"it is good!"

After all, turn around and leave.

At this moment, Nona suddenly stepped forward and approached Meng Lei.

Big watery eyes stared straight at him, exhaling like Lan said:

"Mr. Meng, when you first arrived in Xi'er City, you don't know much about everything here, right?

At this time, you should need a good guide to show you the charm of the city.

I don't know, can I be lucky enough to be your guide? "

Facing this hot and passionate alien beauty in front of her, she was an almost explicit invitation.

Meng Lei smiled slightly,

Very politely shook his head and said:

"No need, I still have something to do, I'll say goodbye first!"

It's not that Meng Lei is too straight,

In fact, he doesn't have this hobby himself, and he really doesn't have time to fall in love and flirt.

But although Nona was rejected, she did not die.

The strange look in his eyes became richer.

Before Meng Lei turned to leave, she stopped Meng Lei again and asked for contact information.

This time,

Meng Lei pondered for a while, and finally did not refuse.

On this alien planet where social relations are empty, there are many friends and many paths.

Not sure when it might be possible to use the other party's help?

finally,

Under Nona's satisfied gaze, the three of Meng Lei walked out of the reception hall of the shipyard one after the other.

Then, I called Chen Yu.

At this time, Chen Yu and the others were still wandering in the labor market.

However, after such a long time, Chen Yu and the others did not gain much.

The key is that many technical talents in the city have gone to sea with the bounty hunters.

And the employment of these talents is bought out on a monthly basis.

If someone else buys a month's time, if they don't renew the contract, they can wait for the next gold owner to come to the door.

If the contract is renewed, then continue with the ship.

Less than a month, the captain will not let go.

Fortunately, Meng Lei is not in a hurry right now.

The pirate ship still needs four days to complete the transformation, and they still have four days to wait.

During these four days, they can come and go around if they have nothing to do.

In the end, if there is really no suitable candidate, then you can only settle for the next best thing, pick a few people to board the ship, and run a few missions first.

Next, a group of people were not idle, and picked a place in the city to meet.

While getting familiar with the city as soon as possible, continue to purchase.

According to the news that Ning Wen had inquired before, plus the guidance of the head of the firm.

Everyone first found the Alliance Arms Store in the city.

However, due to the control problem, the arms of the city of Xier are not rich enough.

There are only some common underwater firearms and ship-borne turret ammunition, most of which can be manufactured through the ship's engineering cabin.

So no need to waste money, choose to buy here.

In addition, through the conversation with the owner of the arms store, Meng Lei learned a new piece of information.

If you want to buy high-end weapon products, you need to go to a deeper military outpost.

In living areas like gathering places, there will be no weapons and equipment with a high level of technology for sale.

and,

Even if you want to replenish equipment at the military outpost, you still need enough alliance reputation.

Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you won't be able to buy anything, maybe even a dock!

Of course,

If it is the big private arms giants, there are definitely not so many restrictions.

But the sites of these companies generally exist in deeper waters.

It's not that easy to get in touch.

Unless they can find their business personnel, communicate privately, agree on a time and place, and trade in independent colonies.

However, the salesmen of several major arms companies are very mysterious.

After all, the Alliance cracks down on businesses like arms smuggling, and will not tolerate it once it is discovered.

So in general,

All of them choose some suitable partners, take the initiative to contact buyers,

It's not easy to find them.

It was popularized by the owner of the arms store, and everyone benefited a lot.

Before leaving,

Meng Lei walked around the store carefully, and finally found a few items that were not bad.

I bought it with a wave of my hand, which is a thank you to the boss for his generous advice.

And those few items are really practical and can't be considered a waste.

Among them is a combat diving suit that is more advanced than ordinary diving suits!

This diving suit, like the PUCS radiation suit, can withstand water pressure up to 6000 meters deep!

However, it is lighter than the PUCS radiation protection suit.

The whole is an incomparably deep dark red, close-fitting and flexible, just like wearing a rubber suit.

The specific production material is unknown, and Chen Yu was curious for a while.

He kept muttering in a low voice, and when he turned back, he must let the researchers in the fleet do a good job of research.

The price of this combat diving suit is as high as 7,000 marks!

Rao is a local tyrant like Meng Lei, and he is not willing to buy more.

In the end, only three sets were set to prepare for some special tasks.

And agreed four days later, in the shipyard dock for delivery.

After leaving the gate of the arms store, at Huo Ye's suggestion, a few people went to the mall and bought some clothes.

The clothes that they brought with them when they crossed over have been worn by everyone for more than a week, and they have never been washed, and they are about to stink.

If you don't change your clothes and take a bath, you can imagine the smell in the submarine.

The point is, it's not hygienic.

When you enter the mall empty-handed, when you come out, everyone has big bags in their hands.

Underwear, outerwear, toiletries, shoes, etc...

Even, under the strong demands of the people,

Meng Lei also bought a captain's suit and put on the standard hat, and his temperament changed immediately.

Not a particularly outstanding appearance, wearing a handsome uniform who has just crossed adolescence, a neat uniform, and a generous attitude.

The saleswoman who was watching her eyes flashed, and she almost ran up to ask for the contact information.

A group of big men strolled in the mall for a long time,

It can be regarded as an experience of a woman's happiness when she buys and buys.

At least at this time, there are probably only a few Blue Star players who can achieve financial freedom.

That spontaneous sense of superiority is extremely exciting.

After buying daily necessities, everyone came to the bookstore again and purchased a batch of various magazines and books.

Like "Battle Manual", "Alien Creatures Guide", "Gardening Grand View", "66671 Channel Shallow Route Map"...

Etc., etc.

These books can not only allow everyone to pass the time during the boring voyage, but also quickly deepen their understanding of the alien ocean environment.

Great help for anyone.

In addition, in the bookstore, everyone found a lot of books purchased with mileage points in the wasteland boat manufacturing station.

All related books.

Although it is a bit obscure and difficult to understand, everyone has more or less made appropriate purchases to enrich their cognitive reserves of the world.

Until about six o'clock in the afternoon,

Everyone was carrying too many things in their hands.

The two thick piles of cash exchanged from the commercial bank also shrunk sharply at this moment.

Nearly 20,000 yuan was spent unknowingly.

Even so, there are still many things that people have not had time to buy.

For example, signal buoys for exploring caves, various seeds for planting flowers and plants in submarines to relieve emotions, as well as healing potions, food reserves on board, etc...

These things can only be discussed tomorrow.

After running all day, everyone was exhausted.

After a simple dinner, everyone returned to Dock No. 59 happily carrying the purchased items.

At this moment, the pirate ship has been driven away by the staff of the shipyard under the authorization of Meng Lei and has been upgraded.

Only the Guixu number quietly stopped in place.

Meng Lei walked into this initial wasteland reclamation boat that accompanied him for nearly a thousand kilometers. He felt somewhat reluctant to part with him.

Every upgrade here, every transformation product, was made by him at the risk of his life.

Go back to the alliance and use it as a rental business.

It felt like selling my own child with my own hands.

Meng Lei suddenly decided,

Even if all the members of the Chongming Fleet set sail in the future, they will all enter the deep zone, and in the end, the Guixu will be left behind.

Even if stopping here can't create any value, the alliance must not take the disaster away.

When there is a chance to return to the shallow area, this is a precious memory anyway, and it is the evidence of his rise.

put things away,

Meng Lei walked into the familiar cockpit.

The central control screen in front of him was still on the private chat interface where Wang Qi issued development tasks to other fleet members.

At this time, the channel communication channel is still in full swing.

Moreover, Meng Lei also discovered something.

With the arrival of players in this channel, the daily limit on the number of speeches on the communication channel has been cancelled.

Now, everyone can communicate freely in the channel without restrictions.

The information refresh rate of the entire channel is crazier than before!

Looking at the information flashing like a waterfall, Meng Lei suddenly remembered a question.

Goldfinger once gave a hint that when 80% of the players pass the shallow area, the world channel will open.

The seven-day mission time limit has now passed.

It stands to reason that the player who should arrive has already arrived.

Players who did not arrive were either buried in the falling ice layer, or were hiding in a cavity in the earth's crust.

Anyway, no matter what,

The number of players who arrived at the gathering place through the shallow waters was definitely more than 80%.

However, the World Channel is still not open.

On the interface of the center console, there is absolutely no text related to the World Channel.

"What is this scenario?"

Meng Lei frowned suspiciously.

"Could it be that the gathering place also belongs to the shallow waters, and the player's arrival here is not the end.

Only after crossing the gathering place and going deep into the sea area in the leveling area can it be regarded as passing through the shallow area?

But if this is the case, everyone will put on new submarines and continue diving.

The initial wasteland boat is left unmanned here, what is the point of opening the world channel? "

Thinking of this question, Meng Lei suddenly felt a little confused.

At this time,

Outside the cabin door of the airlock, there was a sudden sound of visitor bells.

This is a type of visitor unit in a dock setting.

In order to protect personal privacy and avoid strangers boarding the boat without authorization.

There is a security guard outside the airlock door of each submarine, which requires a password to open.

If a stranger wants to enter the cabin, they can only apply by ringing the bell outside the door.

Meng Lei thought it was Chen Yu and the others who came, and didn't care that much.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he ran barefoot to open the door.

How come you think,

After the hatch was opened, a strange woman was standing in the dock passage.

The woman was about thirty-four or five years old, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, and seemed to have an intellectual temperament.

Meng Lei was a little stunned, scratched his head and asked suspiciously:

"you are?"

The other party was standing in the dock passage, without Meng Lei's permission, nor did he intend to enter the cabin.

With a very natural smile on her face, the woman nodded slightly to Meng Lei and said:

"Hello, I'm the editor of Searle Weekly, Julie, are you Captain Meng Leimeng?"

Hearing this, Meng Lei was slightly startled.

At that time, Roger had mentioned to him, because of the D12 outpost incident, the relationship with the pirate ship.

Searle Weekly may come to him and feature him.

Meng Lei didn't take it to heart at that time.

In addition, I was busy purchasing and repairing ships and other messy things in the past two days, so I completely forgot about it.

Who knew that the editor of the magazine actually came to the door?

"Hello, hello, I'm Meng Lei."

At this moment, Meng Lei was a little dizzy, but felt that this was a little too sudden.

"That's it, the reason why I took the liberty to disturb you this time,

Because of your amazing performance and legendary experience during your voyage, we at Weekly would like to do an interview with you.

Get featured in our magazine and let more people know about your legend.

I don't know, do you have time now? "

Sure enough, the editor of the magazine really wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him.

At this time, Meng Lei had recovered.

Immediately, he hurriedly stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation, and said:

"Of course there is time, please come in."

The woman lightly supported the frame on the bridge of her nose, smiled slightly, and said:

"excuse me."

said,

With the sound of high heels stepping, the woman stepped into the cabin of the Guixu.

"Is this the Guixu submarine with a legendary experience? It's really... exquisite..."

After entering the door, the woman turned her neck and looked around.

I just wanted to give a polite compliment.

But when he glanced at the simple toilet in the corner inadvertently,

His tone paused for a while, and suddenly became a little unnatural.

Meng Lei noticed this detail, and he couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

This is really... so stupid!

The unfortunate and broken design, Meng Lei felt unreasonable from the beginning.

Fortunately, all the big men I met along the way, so I didn't feel anything.

Well now, it's finally a thunderstorm!

Such an embarrassing scene really made him want to hit the wall.

"That... There is something wrong with the design of this submarine, and the living cabin environment is not very good. Let's go to the cockpit and talk."

After all, it is a person who has seen the big scene.

Meng Lei quickly adjusted his mentality and diverted the topic.

The woman smiled slightly, but didn't care, nodded and followed Meng Lei into the cockpit.

"Captain Meng, it's getting late, and I won't disturb your rest.

Let's make a long story short, let's be direct~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The woman is very capable. After coming to the cockpit, she goes straight to the point.

"About the fact that you took the first kill in the channel, is it convenient to talk about the specific situation at that time?

Plus, there's the D12 outpost thing.

How did you end up in that undersea tunnel?

How did they grab a Typhon-class submarine and finally escape? "

For these issues, the Sill City Security Office has made a comprehensive investigation,

And the relevant text reports have been sorted out.

Therefore, Meng Lei has nothing to hide.

At the time of the next fifty, he recounted what happened.

A female editor named Julie,

On the other hand, he kept asking various questions while quickly making records in the notebook.

Meng Lei himself is young and lacks experience in this area.

He was interviewed by the media since he was a child. He came out of the orphanage, but he has never experienced a home visit!

So during the interview,

Julie has always been leading the direction of the topic and has the absolute initiative.

However, the editor did not ask any more outrageous questions.

Adhering to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, he only asked in detail about key issues such as abandoned outposts and submarines.

After half an hour.

The interview is over.

The whole process was relatively easy and enjoyable.

At this time, Meng Lei suddenly remembered a question he had considered before.

Before Julie was about to get up and retire, he asked:

"Searle Weekly has so many sections, I want to publish a notice of missing people in the right place. I don't know if I can do it?"
