"This is the IXD2 submarine, which is considered the best product of this model. It has large displacement, long range, and high cargo capacity. These characteristics make it a transport submarine as expected."

Big Ivan squatted next to the watertight hatch of the submarine control tower, and while staring at He Tianlei who was busy inside, he introduced, and finally muttered, "Mustache really likes big things."

"It's precisely because of the existence of these big guys, otherwise it would be a fool's errand to bring such a submarine production line here."

Shi Quan squatted on the submarine deck, thinking about the 105mm deck gun and responded. They had just determined that this was a nearly complete submarine production line.

The reason why it is said to be almost complete is because they did not find the production equipment including motors, engines, batteries, various instruments and most electronic devices.

In other words, even if this place can operate, even if there is no shortage of various required raw materials, the final product produced here will only be a submarine shell at most. Let alone going to sea, even diving from here is a wishful thinking. But even so

, being able to do this at the end of World War II is scary enough.

"It's just a dying struggle." Ivan the Great didn't care at all. Just like what Makarov said at the Black Sea Shipyard, if you want to complete the Varyag, you need a complete Soviet Union and thousands of supporting factories.

This sentence is also applicable to this underground submarine factory. If you want to produce a complete submarine here, you need a crazy painter to lead a group of equally crazy plunderers. Only by seeing it in front of you can you do it.

These are far from enough.

During the long wait, He Tianlei's voice finally came from the submarine, "Come down, there are no explosives in here."

Before he finished speaking, Big Ivan quickly climbed into the submarine along the ladder, while Shi Quan and everyone waiting on the shore also climbed up the control tower with agility.

Entering the interior of the submarine, the scene they saw was far worse than that of the submarine originally discovered on Bennett Island. All exposed metal was basically covered with rust of various colors, and in some cases some of the more serious parts had even been damaged.

It seems to be teetering on the edge of falling at any moment.

The culprit behind all this is the submarine batteries that can be seen almost everywhere inside the submarine and the electrolyte they leak. These batteries are about half a meter square and about one and a half meters long. They have obviously never been used, but they are up to seven years old.

After being stored in such a humid environment for eighty years, the corrosive liquid inside the battery has flowed everywhere inside the submarine.

It's a miracle that this submarine hasn't sunk into the water yet, but in comparison, if its interior was filled with seawater, the situation might be somewhat better.

"Aren't all the batteries installed here?" Shi Quan asked He Tianlei.

"It's almost all batteries."

He Tianlei pointed to the cabin behind him, "There seems to have been a fire there, and the damage was quite serious. The air-tight door can no longer be opened, and only traces of smoke and fire can be seen around it."

"Unlucky one," Shi Quan cursed, not knowing whether he was being scolded by those submariners or himself.

After briefly walking around the inside of the submarine, everyone got out of the control tower and headed straight for the second submarine in disappointment. With the experience just now, He Tianlei moved very quickly this time, and he had already checked it out in less than an hour.

Except for a small number of batteries, the rest of the submarine is filled with gadgets such as instruments or circuit components. Its condition is relatively better, but it is not much better.

Returning to the embankment, Big Ivan randomly took out two copper ingots from those wooden boxes and stacked them together as bricks. Then he sat down on them and said with disappointment, "We used one from Vladivostok."

I traveled here for months, during which time I shot down a helicopter, captured another helicopter, and killed several Japanese. You also encountered a man-made avalanche this afternoon.

But in the end, except for these two submarines that had no repair value and could not be moved at all, and those outdated steampunk-style machines, we got nothing at all. Did we really catch some as Asak hoped?

Will the penguins be sold back to the zoo?”

Asak, who was originally bored, lit up when he heard this. He was about to say something but his boss beat him to it. Shi Quan also moved two copper ingots and sat down, saying with a smile on his face, "You all

Ignore two important things."

"What's going on?" Elena came up and asked.

Shi Quan didn’t have the bad habit of showing off. He took the scroll handed over by Elena and clicked on it, and said cheerfully, “What we found on Bennett Island was a Type 21 submarine. The logbook we found together recorded that there were a total of

There are four Type 21 submarines secretly heading to different destinations. But the two here, including the one that sank to the bottom of the sea, are not Type 21."

Seeing that Da Iwan was about to say something, Shi Quan said again, "The most important thing is, where have all the people here gone? Whether it is the soldiers on the two submarines or the people who once stationed or even built here, let alone the people

, we didn’t even find a body. That’s not right.”

Shi Quan looked down the direction, "Although there are more than a dozen people lying on the steps, they are obviously here for adventure just like us."

"You mean the Type 21 submarine that was supposed to come here went to other places?" Big Ivan pointed around, "And it also took away the people here?"

"It's also possible that it sank halfway."

Shiquan stopped, "But if we assume that the submarine that was supposed to arrive here did not sink, does it mean that there are other secret factories similar to this one on this island?"

"And Macdonald Island!" Elena added, "That island is also possible!"

"That's right." Shi Quan secretly gave Elena a thumbs up.

"What are you waiting for?!"

Big Ivan stood up and pulled Nasha, who was standing behind him, and ran back. At the same time, he shouted, "Let's explore the underwater area along the coast of Heard Island as quickly as possible."

Find our submarine!"

"Our submarine?"

Shi Quan laughed dumbly, letting Elena hold his arm, and followed the big Ivan couple unhurriedly.

A group of seven people returned to the bunker along the same route. At this time, the sky outside had turned white. The Nenets sailor who was guarding not far from the bunker saw them coming out and immediately shouted, "Boss, the person who attacked you has been caught."

, on board now!”

"So fast? How did you catch it?" Asak asked his tribesmen in surprise.

"About four o'clock in the morning, he came out of his hiding place and was caught by radar." The Nenets sailor patted his chest proudly, "I caught him, a man in his fifties.

old man."

"Great job!" Asak gave a thumbs up.

"How many people are there on the island now?" Shi Quan asked, tightening his clothes.

"Except for the five people guarding here, the rest have returned to the ship." The sailor straightened his back and reported to his boss.

"You guys pack up your tents and everything. Ivan will fly back later to pick you up and take you back to the ship to rest." Shi Quan patted the other party's shoulder and followed Elena into the cabin.

The Ka-32 aircraft, which had been parked all night, slowly took off after warming up, and landed smoothly on the apron deck under the guidance of the icebreaker's lights.

When Big Ivan returned the last few sailors and various supplies from Heard Island to the icebreaker, everyone ignored the rest and walked into the brightly lit conference room with a cup of coffee. On the chairs in the center of the conference room

, handcuffing an old man with gray hair, but the other person's expression was not scared, and even a little happy?

Before Shi Quan and others could ask questions, the old man stared at Shi Quan and asked in English, "Are you Chinese?"

Shi Quan still understood this sentence, and nodded happily to answer the other party. Unexpectedly, the old man asked Big Ivan again, "Are you Russian?"

Big Iwan didn't have Shi Quan's good temper. He grabbed the other person's collar, picked him up and put him on the table. He said in Chinese, "Old man, think clearly who is the prisoner on this ship. Ono,

Please translate the original words to him."

Liu Xiaoye stuck out his tongue and conveyed Big Ivan's question in a deliberately fierce tone. With this expressive little translator, the communication between the two parties became much simpler and smoother.

"Tell me where you came from and why you wanted to murder us?"

Faced with Shi Quan's question, the old guy introduced himself, "I'm Henry, the ship's doctor on the Adventurer cruise ship. Believe me, that avalanche was just a misunderstanding."

"Is the corpse in the scientific research station a misunderstanding with those highly skilled mining techniques?" He Tianlei asked coldly.

"No, no, no, that's not a misunderstanding. Besides, the booby traps on the scientific research station were not arranged by me. Those were the masterpieces of my father, Henry Sr."

The old man who called himself Henry didn't wait for the young people around him to ask questions, and took the initiative to explain, "I'm sorry for almost killing you, but it was really a misunderstanding. What I want to kill are the Germans who are spying on the secrets of this island."

There are Japanese people, and I thought you were also those people."

Taking advantage of Liu Xiaoye's translation, Henry pointed with his chin at the Chinese flag hanging on the wall of the conference room, then looked at Shi Quan and said, "At first I thought I was caught by a group of Japanese people, until I saw this flag.

I just realized I made a mistake about the national flag, so I’m sorry.”

"Kill the Germans and Japanese?" Shi Quan and others looked at each other and asked "why" in unison.

"I'm an Australian." Henry raised his handcuffed hands and took off his reading glasses, "but I'm also a quarter Chinese."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with your bloodline."

Shi Quan asked with a sneer, not to mention that this old man has a quarter of the Chinese blood, even if he has the blood of a giant panda, it is useless. If they were not lucky enough to hide in the bunker they just dug, that avalanche

Enough to kill them!

"Of course it matters"

The ship's doctor Henry looked at Heard Island outside the ship, "My grandfather participated in World War II. At that time, he was an Australian soldier stationed in India. Later, the Japanese occupied India. My grandfather, his comrades and many local people
