This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 688 The road is getting wider and wider

  At first, when Chen Jianhong heard the proposal of "making trouble for no reason", Chen Jianhong refused in his heart.

  The reason is simple.

  The Dolphin submarine is the property of the residents of Coral City, not his personal property.

   He has no reason, no authority, and no right to bring this submarine into the Union, whether it is due to legal principles or duties.

However-

   Having said that.

  But when he thought of Sun Yuechi, who was eating and drinking hot food in Shuguang City at the moment, his steel-hard will couldn't help but shake a little bit.

  Why shouldn't it be?

  He couldn't help asking himself.

  Even that dear Mr. Manager—the guy who shouldn't hand over his responsibilities and obligations, handed over everything in himself without hesitation, without even frowning.

   And he is just the captain of a cargo submarine, he is neither a soldier, nor has the obligation to manage the food and drink of these hundreds of people. What reason does he have to continue this war that is destined to have no results?

   What's more, this cannot be called a war.

   There are no weapons on the submarine that can effectively damage the federal ships. From the beginning to the end, they are unilaterally beaten and hiding.

  He had had enough of the suffocating days and the responsibilities imposed on his shoulders.

   Rather, it is the right choice to accept the olive branch thrown by the alliance.

After all, according to these two guys, the management authority of Vault 70 has been handed over to the Alliance, so it seems that the "Dolphin", which was designed and built by the residents of Vault 70, is handed over to the Alliance for use. problem?

  He didn't surrender to the thugs of the Federation of the Southern Islands.

   And this is undoubtedly the best choice for the more than 500 survivors and more than 50 crew members on the submarine.

  The moment he opened his mind, he suddenly felt enlightened, and the resentment he had accumulated because he knew the current situation of the manager disappeared.

  You vote and I vote, and now everyone is the same.

  With a bright smile on his face, he stretched out his right hand towards the tail almost without hesitation.

   "This idea...seems to sound good."

   "As you said, our managers are already at your place anyway, so we might as well go to your place too...if you don't mind it."

   The two soldiers standing beside him almost unanimously cast surprised glances at him, as if they were looking at a guy who had taken the wrong medicine.

   defected to the alliance? !

this…

  It is really an unimaginable path.

  Tail didn't think there was any problem at all, and held the right hand extended by the guy in front of him in surprise.

   "Oh! I'm glad you can choose us. Our manager said that the Alliance welcomes all survivors to join, and of course you are welcome. Chip Harbor will hold a grand welcome ceremony for you! I promise you!"

  Chen Jianhong smiled lightly, shook his tail and let go of his hand.

"The ceremony is not important. You can provide us with the necessary food, fresh water, shelter and other supplies. There are some engineers from Coral City on board, as well as some engineering equipment we brought from Coral City...they can Do some complicated work for you within the scope of your ability."

   "Oh! Don't worry! There will be welcome flowers, water, food, and shelter!" Two eyes sparkled, and the tail patted his chest and swore.

   Lost a submersible, picked up a nuclear submarine!

  This deal is a huge profit, okay?

   Facing this sudden change, the Sisi people who were watching were all dumbfounded.

  She never thought that the guy in front of her would agree, and she was even ready to hold the tail, but she didn't expect this guy to really agree? !

  Even if everyone is a refugee resident, communication is not that big of an obstacle...

  But they have only known each other for less than an hour, right? !

   It took a long time for her to recover from the bewilderment, opened and closed her lips subconsciously, and muttered a sentence to herself.

   "I giao..."

  This is too outrageous! ?

  …

  The next development of the matter was even more outrageous than Sisi imagined.

   Just as he agreed to join the alliance, the captain did not stop doing anything, and directly brought the two of them to his office, and announced to the crew on the radio that the Dolphin submarine had joined the alliance.

  Most of the survivors on the submarine didn't react too much after hearing the broadcast, and some even breathed a sigh of relief quietly, showing expressions of relief.

  The war left them at a loss, and many people were involved in it with a dazed expression.

   They don't even care about winning or losing.

   Whether it is the Federation or business as usual.

  They just want to end this deprived and depressive life as soon as possible, so that their lives can return to the normal track as soon as possible.

  After announcing the joining of the alliance, Captain Chen Jianhong took a new identity very simply. On the one hand, he ordered to adjust the course to head towards the Baiyue Strait, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to take the two people who were curious about the submarine around to visit.

"...The Dolphin was built ten years ago. It is currently the largest nuclear-powered submarine currently in service in the southern waters, and it is also the one with the largest cargo capacity! To transport goods between them, and at the same time undertake the underwater operation task of building some submarine facilities.”

"I remember that its maximum dive depth can reach minus one thousand meters above sea level, but it is generally not necessary to dive so deep. In my impression, the deepest submarine facility here is about minus six hundred meters above sea level. It is a deep-sea research facility. station, and the average altitude of Coral City seems to be only minus two to three hundred meters."

   Tail said with sparkling eyes.

   "The seabed settlement! I really want to see it!"

   Chen Jianhong smiled and said.

   "I'm afraid I can't go there now. After the power outage, it has become a dead city. Let's see it after the war is over. I hope it won't take too long, otherwise I can only go there for archaeology in the future."

  When he said this, his tone was also a bit sad.

   That is the miracle created by the survivors living in this sea area, which took nearly a century of time and sweat.

   However, all it takes is a stupid war to destroy it all.

  Tail touched his chin thoughtfully and nodded.

   "It's like a house that has been left unoccupied for too long, so you can't live in it, right?"

  Chen Jianhong nodded, sighing softly.

   "It's almost the same reason."

  Although occasionally the topic is not on the same channel at all, the two of them can chat unexpectedly.

  Sisi, who was walking beside him, put his hands on the railing, glanced at the area in the middle full of containers, and said with emotion.

   "This submarine is really big enough... Regardless of other things, the optical length is longer than that of the Ohio class and the Belgorod."

   Not to mention the width.

   Can make a cargo hold in the middle, this guy is simply an aircraft carrier sailing on the seabed.

  Hearing what she said, Chen Jianhong was slightly taken aback.

   "Ohio...what's that?"

  Sisi was also taken aback, then laughed.

   "Nothing, not worth mentioning."

   Really not worth mentioning.

   This is nuclear fusion power at any rate, how can it be compared to the old antique that boils water.

  Both parties, whether it is materials or energy types, are not things in the same dimension at all.

  Chen Jianhong looked at her in bewilderment, but didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, it wasn't the first time he couldn't understand what these two people said.

   After a pause, he continued to introduce the layout of the submarine.

   "...I divided the cabin into three sections. The first section is the living area, the second section is the logistics warehouse, and the third section is the work area...that is, the front area, which mainly contains some production facilities."

   Tail asked expectantly.

   "Produce what?"

  Chen Jianhong: "All the things we can produce, there are nearly 600 people on this submarine, which is already seriously overloaded. We have to do everything possible to meet everyone's living needs."

  Sisi thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.

   "Actually, I've always been curious. How did you solve your food problem for more than two months? Fishing?"

   Chen Jianhong continued.

"It mainly depends on the artificial planting of some fast-growing algae that can be used to extract nutrients. By the way, it can also improve the air in the cabin. Fortunately, the most important things here are electricity and lights. It is enough to save some food. In addition In addition, occasionally we will encounter some schools of fish, and if we are lucky, we can catch a net, which can slightly improve the food of the survivors on the boat."

  Their main threat is not the alien species on the bottom of the sea, but the destroyers of the Federation.

  Although the Dolphin looks quite large, only a few depth charges are enough to sink it.

  Tail looked at him in surprise.

   "Huh? Speaking of which, your food is pretty good?"

   "Not bad? Haha."

  Chen Jianhong twitched the corner of his mouth with a gloomy expression, and continued with a complicated expression.

"If you are interested, you can try it. You have been eating that kind of green nutrition paste and smelly fish with a huge fishy smell for two consecutive months... The only seasoning that can be used here is salt. Maybe it will be better if you use spices from Borneo Province. It was better. Then we couldn’t help it, we tried to make some vinegar and soy sauce, but it tasted better than nothing.”

  I roughly imagined the scene, the tail shrunk and the neck shrank, and he nodded his head in sympathy and comforted him.

   "That's really miserable..."

  Sis cast his eyes on the containers stacked in the middle of the cargo hold, and continued to ask.

   "Then what's in these boxes?"

Chen Jianhong: "Mainly they are some industrial products. There are connections to maintain the submarine facilities of Coral City, and there are also some automation tools. We dismantled some boxes and recovered the contents, but there are still many undismantled ones. If you are interested You can look through the words, maybe you can find something useful.”

  Hearing this sentence, Tail's eyes lit up, and the whole person became excited.

   "Oh! You're welcome with the tail!"

  She is the best at picking up trash!

   "It's up to you, the order can't be completed anyway."

   Glancing at this not very smart guy, Chen Jianhong glanced at the wrist-mounted computer worn on his left arm, and then looked at the two blue coats from the alliance.

   "...we are about 50 kilometers away from the Baiyue Strait. Would you like to say hello to the people on the shore first? Do they have a fixed radio channel?"

   Sisi said with a slight smile.

   "Of course, but we have already said hello."

  Chen Jianhong froze for a moment.

   "Did you say hello?"

   "We have a special way of communication, in short, we just go there." Sisi didn't explain in detail, but gave a concise explanation.

   While going to the bathroom just now, Tail has already gone offline and went to the forum to say hello.

  Hearing that Awei had brought back a nuclear submarine, everyone expressed disbelief.

  To be honest, not to mention the people standing on the shore, even she standing on this submarine at this moment didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she still feels like she is in a dream.

  Chen Jianhong looked suspiciously at the woman named Sisi, but said nothing.

  Let’s just treat it like this...

  …

   Right now.

  On the shore of Potato Fries Harbor, a large group of players was crowded in darkness. One and two stretched their necks curiously, looking at the turbulent sea in the distance with a face that had never seen the world.

  Smart people don't speak dark words.

  They all came to see the nuclear submarine.

  According to a certain tail bragging on the forum, this submarine not only uses the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion power, but also is so big that the cabin can pull cargo, the whole is like an aircraft carrier sailing underwater!

   How big is this? !

  It is already past five o'clock in the morning, and there is a faint blur on the sea in the distance, but there is no shadow of the submarine.

   Everyone has been standing here for almost half an hour.

  Thinking of the maid outfit last time, many people murmured in their hearts.

   "Why do I feel like that guy is bragging again?"

   "+1, you are not the only one."

   "Don't pretend to be a maid this time, let's change it."

   "How about a bikini?"

   "Damn it, is it so explosive?"

  Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Liuren under the knife folded his arms and looked at the distant sea, with a trace of suspicion in his heart.

  He is not an expert in ship science and materials science. He does not comment on the possibility of a submarine that is as big as an aircraft carrier and can use its cabin to pull cargo, but he knows Ah Guang!

  Ah Guang would be so generous to give them a submarine?

  He doesn't believe anything!

   "If I don't come again, I will go into the forest to spawn monsters." The murderer's dagger stretched lazily.

   Standing aside, Voldemort took a look at him.

   "Not standing guard today?"

   "How can I stand guard every day, today is Lao Kidney... Fuck!" Halfway through the sentence, Killing Dagger suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth into an O shape.

  The guy who suddenly went mad, Voldemort was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

   "Ahead! In the sea!" Killing Dagger pointed forward and shouted excitedly.

  This reminder is completely redundant.

   On the surface of the sea illuminated by the sun, a majestic steel giant pushed away the waves from bottom to top, revealing the wide bow and hull.

  The waves slapped on the bow of the ship, setting off bursts of white foam, and strings of crystal water drops slid down the jet-black outline, shining like pearls in the morning light.

  The light of dawn and dusk sprinkled on the sea behind the submarine, forming an orange band of light extending to the sky.

  In the cockpit, Chen Jianhong looked at the tail on the side and asked a puzzled question.

   "Why do you have to float at this point? Is there any special meaning?"

   Actually, they arrived half an hour ago.

  However, at someone's request, they waited for half an hour before surfacing.

  Looking at the sea full of morning glory outside the porthole, Tail said with sparkling eyes.

   "Don't you think it's handsome!"

  Chen Jianhong: "...?"

   One thing to say, this picture is indeed shocking enough.

  Although everyone in the cabin couldn't feel it, the players standing on the shore all looked straight.

   "Fuck?!"

   "Really?!"

   "What the **** is a submarine?!"

   "It's too awesome!"

   There was a lot of noise on the shore, and almost everyone had expressions of shock and disbelief written on their faces.

  In addition to those who yelled and took pictures excitedly, there were also people who fainted on the spot.

   But it was not a real fainting, but going offline to share the excitement and joy with sand sculpture netizens on the forum.

   The players have long been accustomed to this, but it startled the kind-hearted Moon Clan girls, who thought it was heatstroke, and planned to do artificial respiration when they went up, but were stopped by the enthusiastic players.

   At the same time, on the golden sea, the pitch-black bow and deck had completely surfaced.

  The crew members wearing exoskeletons stepped onto the deck under the leadership of Captain Chen Jianhong.

  Looking at the lonely and shabby wooden pier in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, with his mouth open, he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or dumbfounded.

   After a long time, he looked at Sisi and spoke.

   "This is your... port?"

  Sisi had a delicate expression, he was not as thick-skinned as Awei after all, and coughed lightly in embarrassment.

   "The facilities are a little rough, but please don't worry, everything will get better slowly."

  Tail also nodded his head, puffed up his chest and said.

   "Whoa! It's early days, everything will be fine!"

   "..."

  Chen Jianhong's brows twitched violently, but he didn't say anything.

   Actually thinking about it, the situation here is not as bad as he imagined.

   There is at least one pier that extends into the deep water. They don't have to use rubber boats to paddle to the shore one by one, just build a pontoon bridge between the pier and the plywood.

  And the port facilities are secondary, the most important thing is that they have been protected by the alliance!

  Unless the Federation of the Southern Islands is ready to go to war with the Alliance, it should not continue to attack them, even if they just stay in the submarine and don't go ashore.

  However, he thought so, but the residents who had already stood on the deck had another thought.

  Looking at the golden beach and the village standing by the beach, the malnourished faces were full of longing.

  They don’t mind the shabby living conditions at all. They just want to get out of the damned deep sea and return to live under the sunlit land.

   "...Speaking of which, I almost forgot to ask, are you sure it's okay to build a settlement here? This is Baiyue Province." Looking at Sisi beside him, Chen Jianhong asked again for confirmation.

   Knowing what he was worried about, Sis gave him a reassuring expression.

   "Don't worry, our people will be responsible for safety and will never let the alien species here hurt you. You should be able to see that there are already some people living on the shore."

  Chen Jianhong nodded, his tensed brow relaxed a little.

   "I want to meet someone who is in charge here."

   Turning his gaze to the sea not far away, Sisi said with a faint smile.

   "He's already on his way."

   Just when her voice fell, a small boat had already sailed to the side of the submarine.

  Grabbing the ladder and climbing up the deck, Fang Chang patted the slippery seaweed leaves on his hands, walked towards this side with a smile on his face, and extended his right hand to Chen Jianhong.

   "Welcome! Captain Chen! I am Fang Chang, the person in charge of Chips Harbor!"

  Chen Jianhong shook his hand, glanced at the people on the shore, and then at him.

   "Thank you for your warm hospitality... My crew and the survivors on board join you with sincerity. For this reason, I hope to be treated and treated as a Union citizen."

   Fang Chang said with a bright smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I've already told the manager about your affairs, and he welcomes your choice! He also specifically asked me to tell you that from now on, you are citizens of the alliance, protected by the laws of the alliance, and also responsible for Obey and proactively uphold its obligations."

  Chen Jianhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief.

"Thanks."

   "You're welcome, we should say thank you, we have another reliable ally on this road of rebuilding civilization and order!"

   Released Captain Chen's hand, Captain Fang smiled and continued.

   "Because the alliance does not have a naval command for the time being, and we have no experts who are good at this field, so I have to trouble you to continue to serve as the captain of the Dolphin. We will temporarily pay you and all the crew on your ship according to the army's standard salary!"

  Chen Jianhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked quickly.

   "Wait, Navy? The Dolphin is not a combat ship, and I'm not a soldier—"

  Looking at him who hastily explained, Fang Chang quickly comforted him.

   "I know, please rest assured, you will not perform combat missions, and we have no enemies to attack in this sea."

  Hearing this sentence, Chen Jianhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  But after thinking about it, he felt that what he said just now was a bit embarrassing, so he explained it embarrassingly.

"I'm not afraid of war. If the opponent is the navy of the Federation of the Southern Islands, I will beat them without hesitation, but it's a pity that this submarine doesn't even have a decent weapon. Moreover, it's too big. Suitable as an offensive weapon, I hope you understand."

   Paused for a moment, he continued.

"In addition, we have been floating underwater for a while, and many equipments on the submarine need maintenance and repairs. Can I trouble you to build a port here... It's not this kind of wooden one, it's better to be a little more reliable. kind."

  Fang Chang was about to say that he was already in contact with the ideal city company.

   At this moment, one of the group of survivors standing on the deck suddenly squeezed out, raised his right hand and said.

   "If you plan to build a port, I can help!"

  Wearing a whitish brown shirt, he looked a little haggard, but his eyes were piercing.

  Looking at this enthusiastic person, Fang Chang froze for a moment, looked at him curiously and asked.

"Who are you…"

  Chen Jianhong glanced at the man and introduced himself for him.

   "His name is Li Shihao, he is an engineer in Coral City. He used to work at the submarine docking station. He seems to be an engineer, but I forgot what he did—"

"It's the port and waterway project!" After rushing to answer, the man looked at Fang Chang with a surprised expression, and continued quickly, "I have participated in the reconstruction projects of the circular island and Anle Island port, as well as the submarine in Coral City. Berthing station design...Give me enough manpower and materials, and I can help you build a general-purpose port that allows this submarine to berth!"

  When Fang Chang heard the last sentence, Fang Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately expressed his opinion.

"Great! You are hired. I will not only give you enough manpower and materials, but also give you a salary of 10,000 silver coins per month! This is just a basic salary, and there will be performance and commissions in the future! As long as you work hard, I guarantee that your life in the alliance will be more comfortable than that of the shelter director before you! Oh, by the way, the choice of whether you are willing to accept employment is up to you—"

   "I am willing!" The man nodded impatiently, with an excited expression on his face.

  Although I don't know what the purchasing power of 10,000 silver coins is, it's never wrong to have a job to do first.

  Seeing that some people have found a job even before going ashore, all the survivors on the deck showed envious expressions.

   Someone took the lead in demonstrating, and several others also raised their hands one after another, and stood up courageously.

"I am his co-worker!"

   "I can do this job too, I can help!"

   "Do you need to know how to raise fish? I can raise fish! I used to raise fish in Coral City!"

   "I am engaged in prospecting, mainly seabed prospecting... Of course, on land is also acceptable!"

   "I am mining!"

   "Wait, are you interested in underwater automatic construction equipment? I have participated in the design of the electric ray unmanned boat! It is the underwater automatic welding unmanned boat!"

   "Look at me too, I'm researching waterproof and anti-corrosion materials..."

  Fang Chang's face was ecstatic.

   Looking at these people's eyes, it's like seeing a walking gold mine!

  Sisi and Tail also showed surprised expressions at the same time.

  On the one hand, I was surprised that there were so many talents among these survivors, and on the other hand, I was surprised that Fang Chang, an old fox, actually recruited on the spot.

   "I'm giao!"

   "This guy is too stupid..."

  Looking at the excited crowd, Fang Chang quickly raised his hand and shouted to calm the crowd.

   "Everyone, don't get excited! Don't worry! What we need most now is people, especially talents like you who have knowledge and professional skills!"

   "I will register your occupation and profession when I issue ID cards later! I assure you that you will all find a decent job you want and start a new life in this sunny land!"

   "In addition, we have prepared delicious food and wine from Dawn City for you! Let's say goodbye to the troubles of the past before starting again!"

food!

liquor!

  As the cadenced voice fell, excited cheers and whistles erupted on the deck.

  All the disheveled faces were filled with excitement and joy.

  With longing and hope for a new life, everyone on the deck was high-spirited, and one or two of them seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Especially the tail, who also mixed in to join in the fun.

  Looking at the cheering crew members and survivors, Captain Chen Jianhong also showed a gratified smile on his face.

   To be able to end the two and a half months of wandering in this way is not in vain for his suffering during this time...

  With the help of the players on the shore, a simple pontoon bridge was quickly built between the pier and the submarine, and the survivors on the deck and the crew boarded the beach one after another.

  The Yiren Tavern, which was not supposed to open until the evening, became busy early in the morning.

  There are tables and chairs on the beach, and the excitement is like a festival.

  At this moment, on the distant sea, a speedboat belonging to the Federation of the Southern Islands is rapidly advancing in the direction of French Fry Port.

   That's Muda's speedboat.

  Finally finished coping with the federal navy's questioning, he didn't return to the circular island to take over his shift, but went straight here.

  He just wants to send the hot roasted jellyfish tied under the boat to the Alliance as soon as possible, and then tell them about the disappearance of the two girls near the wreckage of the current generator.

  However, what Ling Muda never expected was that he had just entered the eastern part of the Baiyue Strait when he saw the huge ship floating on the water.

  Dolphin number!

   The submarine ghost that sank the twelve cargo ships of the Federation!

  The most wanted target of the Federal Navy!

  Standing on the bow of the speedboat, Mu Da stared blankly at the giant beast floating on the sea, and was speechless for a moment.

  The sailor standing behind him swallowed and asked in a trembling voice.

"team leader?"

  Mu Da's eyes struggled for a while, finally he gritted his teeth and ordered in a low voice.

   "... lean over."

  The sailor and the driver standing in the cabin and sailing the boat exchanged glances, and they both saw deep anxiety and confusion in each other's eyes.

  I always feel that this road is getting darker and darker...
