Dreamland Guide

Ivan doesn't understand which aspect Stone is referring to, but emotionally, he very much agrees with Stone's judgment of the good quality of the old machine. Let's just talk about this submarine. Although the surface is rusty and mottled, there are exposed wires and steam pipes everywhere, and some parts are unable to work because of disrepair, but its power system and weapon system are still easy to use. And this kind of old submarine has an advantage. A submarine veteran like Ivan can repair most of the problems on the boat as long as a wrench is in his hand. Unlike modern new submarines, the precision is so high that most people can't even find the position of the parts.

"Mr. Stone, what are you looking for in this sea?" Ivan vaguely approved the question about the machine, but he has not yet received the answer to the first question. This is the edge of the South Pacific Basin, and further north is the Tubuai Islands. Finding things in this large ocean basin with a depth of more than 15,000 feet, even a large island reef under the sea, is no easier than finding a sesame in a swimming pool.

"Actually, I don't know what I'm looking for. Because what I'm looking for is definitely not here now. But I think I can always find some traces."

Stone's words confuse Ivan even more. He simply stopped asking, anyway, the old iron guy they were riding in had enough fuel to continue wandering in the sea for a month, and there was nothing to worry about as long as they could return to the voyage within 20 days. For Ivan, getting into the submarine is like going home, but how long can this clean and handsome Mr. Stone last?

"Sir, do you need anything else? I have canned fish, coffee and pickles. The pickles are Chinese, and Japanese... Japanese discs. If you need..."

Ivan looked at the two computers in front of Stone, and never understood why only one was on. He had never seen Stone open two computers at the same time.

Stone smiled at Ivan and said, "No, go ahead."

Ivan retired, returned to the command cabin, and took his seat. Since it is now on the sea, the command cabin can be ventilated, and everyone in it is smoking.

"Beware of fire." Ivan reminded.

"I can't burn it!" Boris handed a cigarette to Ivan. "This ragged thing is so hot that it can grow maggots. It's weird that it can be burned!"

"I mean watch out for wires and fuel." Ivan said, taking the smoke.

He used to not smoke. When he was in the army, smoking was strictly prohibited in the submarine. But after he retired, he worked in various docks and learned to smoke, and he became addicted to cigarettes.

"I know." Boris said. "It's not the first time my brothers got off the boat. No one is so stupid to go to the power cabin with a cigarette."

"That's good." Ivan said.

"By the way... Ivan, what the **** is that guy? He won't lie to us?" Boris asked.

"What lie to you?" Ivan scowled.

Boris was a little guilty: "I'm afraid he won't give money after he finishes the work. What can you find if you wander around in this big basin?"

Ivan said, "Isn’t it already half of you? Even if the half is not given to us, this trip is worth it! And he just told me that when this mission is over, I can take my wife and children to Hawaii. Or New Zealand, don’t have to do this kind of dirty work anymore."

"Oh, that's not a small amount of money, if it's true, you can enjoy it!" Boris took a bit of a cigarette.

Ivan sighed and said, "Why do I smell sourness? Don't worry, I won't leave my brothers alone to enjoy the blessing. If I can take my family to New Zealand and live a good life, I will definitely I can let you buy a ranch there."

"Is it so good?" Boris closed his eyes looking forward to it. "But this Mr. Arthur Stone looks very extraordinary! I have never seen such a handsome and elegant Chinese man."

"Where do you see that he is Chinese?"

"Although he has the shadow of Italian or French aristocracy, he looks like an Oriental!"

"There is more than one China in the East, can't it be Japanese?"

"No, it's impossible." Boris said very positively. "I have dealt with Japanese people many times. They are shrewd, belligerent, good at learning, and very polite, but they will never accompany them to raise a truly elegant and noble one. People. They would only use their katana to gesture back and forth on their stomachs, using their ridiculous bravery to cover up their cowardice for not daring to face failure."

"You really know them!" Ivan knew that Boris was whaling at sea after he retired and had conflicts with Japanese whaling ships, so he said with a smile, and then threw the cigarette **** into an empty fish can filled with water. , "Well, guys quickly finish smoking, let's go to your own place! Whether people give money or not is their business, whether the work is done well or not is our business."

Boris asked, "Do you still wander around like this?"

Ivan said: "Continue cruising, maintain a speed of eight knots, dive to a depth of 500 feet, and stare at all the detectors. The focus is on gravity detection and magnetic detection. Remember, once you find an abnormal situation, report it immediately."

Ivan stood neatly in front of the main console like a real submarine captain. The people who were still talking and laughing just put away their smiles and returned to their jobs.

"Should I tell Mr. Stone before diving again?" Boris asked.

Ivan thought for a while and said, "No need."

The submarine dived again and hovered at a depth of approximately 150 meters.

"Actually, I really want to know if Mr. Arthur Stone has been a submarine soldier before." Boris said while adjusting the components on the dashboard before him.

"Why?" Ivan asked.

"Do you think he has had any discomfort since he got on the boat? And he stayed in that lounge, facing two broken computers, but only watched the old science fiction movies."

Boris’s question is actually Ivan’s question. He wanted to ask Stone several times, but he took it back when he reached the point of his mouth. Although he was not a regular mercenary, he knew very well that he was no different from a mercenary when he boarded this submarine.

Stone gave him enough money to repair the submarine, fill it up with fuel and weapons, and bought several advanced detection instruments.

Before this mission was completed, Stone was his employer. His task is to complete what Stone confessed to him and protect the safety of his employer. During this period, he knew what to say and what not to say.

"There seems to be something wrong with the magnetic field detection." A dude said to the instrument in front of him, "Ivan, come and take a look. I don't know much about this stuff."

Ivan walked over and took a look, and found that the originally smooth flashing lines on the left side of the dashboard, which was a bit like a computer screen, twisted like a snake, and rows of unintelligible numbers on the right were scrolling continuously. He didn't know what it meant, there was no such instrument on submarines in the past.

"Let me see, I'm good at this." Boris called.

"Do you understand this?" Ivan asked strangely. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Didn't I tell you that after retiring, I went to the North Pole to play for two years. Hey, I actually got into an Arctic research ship. There were all the instruments on it. I was assigned to monitor the magnetic field."

While talking, Boris walked to the magnetic monitor and frowned as he looked at the lines and numbers. The expression on his face slowly became richer, as if seeing something strange.

"What's the matter, Boris?" Ivan asked

Boris said: "The magnetic field shows that there should be something in front of us."

"what?"

"I don't know, it seems to be...is...a ship?"

"No, it's impossible," said the guy in charge of sonar detection. "The sonar system shows that there is no object ahead."

"Stop!" Ivan ordered decisively, "I'll tell Mr. Stone."
