The anti-submarine aircraft quickly ran out of fuel while circling, and they could only return in the silence of Captain Boris. Before the next wave of units capable of performing anti-submarine missions arrived at the scene, the Moonlight Gold had four
Fifteen minutes of free time.
The Queen Diana did not accompany its escort fleet, and its own anti-submarine capabilities were not very strong. This time it was sent here, more to act as a flag and express an attitude.
When someone doesn't care about the face of military technology, they can only look at the empty sea in the picture and roar in vain.
Captain Boris smiled awkwardly at Mikkelsen, but Mikkelsen's attention was not on him at all.
Mikkelsen, who was working far away in the office, was thinking deeply. The results of the initial test were very satisfactory. Tang Ji easily avoided the tracking of military technology.
He arrived late and found the girl first, and then found a way out even he thought of during the pursuit.
What Mikkelsen is now considering is whether to continue to increase the stakes. He also has space-transporting superhuman employees who can transport the power he has at hand to the power he needs them to go to in a few minutes.
But Mikkelsen was hesitant. The superhuman nicknamed "Sea King" in his hand seemed to be a little too powerful for the current Tangji. Once the Sea King was thrown into the battlefield, this delicate balance would definitely be broken.
Just like the Mr. Luck he is chasing, if Mikkelsen wants to, he can completely level Las Vegas with a nuclear warhead. Even Mr. Luck has a limit.
In the sea, Neptune's deterrence is like a nuclear bomb. He can dive into the seabed at a depth of 2,700 meters, while the Moonlight Gold can only operate at a depth of about 700 meters.
Neptune can reach a speed of fifty-five knots underwater, which is faster than most human creations.
Of course, the only thing that makes Mikkelsen feel regretful is that Neptune does not have the corresponding physical fitness. He is essentially just a strong human being. The secret that makes him so magical is that when he enters the water, he will generate a layer of principles and
Membranes of unknown structure.
That membrane not only allows Neptune to move and breathe freely underwater, but also has super hearing and can withstand water pressure. Up to now, the relevant research departments have studied all the bits and pieces of Neptune's body, but the conclusion is that he has no
No scene.
Mikkelsen had already expected such a result. Just like those players, there are some things that cannot be explained by science, at least not yet.
After pondering for a long time, Mikkelsen, who finally sat in the office, shook his head and gave up the plan to dispatch Neptune. He regarded it as a greeting gift for Tang Ji and a hope for himself.
At least so far, Tang Ji has performed in line with his expectations in all aspects, but hope is like soap bubbles.
It breaks when touched.
Mikkelsen on the Queen Diana made the same move. He glanced at the screen on his phone that was showing the location of the Moongold, and turned off the screen with an expressionless expression. He liked to be prepared.
At the moment, the chess piece was obviously still useful, and then Mikkelsen left the bridge with a chill.
A few minutes later, Captain Boris watched the black helicopter belonging to Commissioner Gao Jie take off and quickly disappear into the sky.
The departure of the special commissioner seemed to declare the failure of Military Technology's operation. The captain didn't know what kind of anger would burst out from the shareholders who were trying to acquire Chrissy Cunningham, but this anger could not be burned.
On him.
The failure of this operation was entirely due to the inefficiency of the operating troops and had nothing to do with the Queen Diana.
...
...
Under the surface of the sea, the Moonlight Gold began to move at a slow but elegant speed. As a ship focused on luxury and comfort, its ultimate underwater speed was only a pitiful twenty-five knots.
But considering the ship's bulky shape was compromised in order to gain more space, this speed is a miracle of ergonomics.
The Moonlight Gold is a nuclear-powered ship that can drive the ship almost unlimitedly. In addition to power, the surplus energy is enough to maintain a large-scale soilless cultivation farm. One set is enough to maintain
Desalination system used by fifty people.
In the old Frederick's collection, Tony even discovered a batch of high-precision automated machine tools. These things were quite conspicuous when placed together with a bunch of surrounding artworks.
"Has your rich dad been deceived into thinking this is a Mayan relic?" Tony looked at the equally puzzled little Gerald and teased.
The young man was at a loss for words. He still hasn't figured out why these people were able to open the lower storage room so smoothly. They didn't even need old Frederick's biological information.
Martin kicked open another door roughly and whistled: "Look at this, brothers! It's so exciting!"
Tony and Gerard Jr. huddled together behind Martin, sighing and looking inside. They could not tell the relationship between the kidnapper and the hostage at all.
Then they all exclaimed at the same time. The room behind the door was almost 40 square meters in size. There was a circle of armor racks erected along the wall, but between the medieval armors was the 'Almighty Warrior' exoskeleton system produced by Military Technology.
The military technology armed team that surrounded them on the shore was equipped with this exoskeleton. Martin used mortar shells to reach the target within three meters, but the target remained unscathed.
There are a total of twenty Almighty Warrior exoskeleton armors in the room, and correspondingly there are twenty antique armors full of vicissitudes of life.
"There must be something wrong with your dad." Tony pointed to his head and said to little Gerald: "Which one of these two armors do you think is more valuable?"
"Antiques are more valuable!" Little Gerald had no reaction at all to the other party's insult to his father. Instead, he pointed to the armor full of patterns in the middle and showed it to Tony: "That is the most complete Milanese armor in existence. My father's flower
It cost 9 million to take the photo.”
Martin, who has always been very enthusiastic about weapons, seemed very calm at this time. He continued to kick open the next door with an expressionless face. As a result, the style behind the door was still a mix of modern and antique.
A room full of weapons and antique cold weapons are arranged side by side on their respective display shelves. One can see the latest model of electromagnetic weapons on the left hand side, and a Damascus scimitar on the right hand side.
In the corner, they even found several bullet reloading machines sealed with sealing films. Tony and Martin looked at each other.
They ignored little Gerald and went straight to the next room, where they found a whole room full of compressed food and water purification tablets.
These things gave them a lot of not-so-good associations. Apparently some people were still working hard on the surface, but secretly built themselves a doomsday ship.
And little Gerald's face was even more ugly, because the only person who could start this place was his father. Little Gerald, who had received an elite education, easily discovered the problem.
If the unknown threat his father was guarding against really happened, no one but him could open the shelter, and Frederick Sr. had never revealed the relevant information.
Just like Gerald Jr. always thought, Frederick Sr. only cared about himself.
Tang Ji and Aaliya were also surprised by the secret materials found on the ship. Aaliya found no clues in the relevant records of the ship.
No one knows when that batch of supplies was loaded onto the ship, and no records were left. Who was Old Frederick guarding against when he acted so carefully?
"He, no, do they also know about the player?" Aaliya asked Tang Ji alone: "Do they have this ship and the company executives who want Chris Cunningham?"
Are you mentally prepared?"
Tang Ji couldn't answer this question. He didn't even know whether Wu Qianying chose Chris Cunningham for Tang Anran or if there was another reason behind it.
All this is too coincidental.
In silence, the Moonlight Gold crossed the final capture line, and the Queen Diana had no chance to capture it again.
In order to completely hide herself, Alia even took the initiative to disconnect the Moonlight Gold from the Newport Huntington Industrial Group and gave up her own space-based weapons defense network.
She is naturally wary of these big companies.
"We will sail for three days along a distance of 600 kilometers from the coastline, then surface and throw the hostages in the way on Tarim Island." Aaliya broke the silence and showed Tangji her planned route map.
.
In just a few hours since Arya obtained the Moonlight Gold, she has become a qualified captain, navigator, and ship engineer in terms of theoretical knowledge. What she lacks is just hands-on experience.
However, Tang Ji has become accustomed to Aaliya's magical performance, and has begun to enjoy this kind of logistically worry-free and attentive service.
Even if Tangji pulls up a division, Alia can help him sort out all the problems one by one and refine his will to the individual.
"For safety, I will let the Moonlight Gold be anchored underwater outside of Del Coronado Bay to prevent it from irritating the military technology group." Alia explained her plan: "There is a small submarine on this ship.
You can take it back to Night City."
Tang Ji felt that he had nothing to add. He couldn't understand the hydrogeological information anyway, but he knew that in order to find a route that could accommodate the Moonlight Gold to approach Night City, Aria had consulted a lot of information.
From here, he could hear the sound of the server radiator on Aria's side being fully turned on and working hard.
Maybe it was time to have a good talk with the hostage he had gone through so much trouble to rescue. After all, she was related to Tang Anran's safety.
...
...
In a guest room on the viewing floor of the Moonlight Gold, Chris was working hard to activate her ability and froze a layer of ice more than two meters thick along the door.
Her body is still a little weak, and her feedback seems a little weak in terms of ability. In her previous videos, this level of ice was just a matter of blowing her breath.
Now, in order to build such a safety wall for herself, it took her nearly forty minutes to complete.
"Miss Cunningham, please give up this useless resistance, we have no ill intentions towards you." Anthony, who was standing outside the door, looked at the cold air seeping out of the crack in the door, sighed, and started knocking on the door.
"I won't listen! I want to go home!" Chris hid behind the ice and screamed: "Let me go!"
"Which home do you want to go back to? As far as I know, your parents already have their own families. Their last obligation to you is to support you through high school." A true master can break through people's psychological defenses with just one sentence.
Anthony undoubtedly did it. His words made the girl's newly summoned courage disappear in an instant, but the ice that had formed still blocked the door.
"She locked herself in." Seeing Tang Ji approaching, Anthony stepped back from Forman and gave up his position.
By the way, Foreman's hands were tied behind his back at this time. In order to prevent him from continuing to speak, Anthony taped his mouth shut.
He planned to throw Foreman into the hostage pile and let the Saints manage him under unified management. Although the Moonlight Gold's chief steward had always been polite, he became too annoying after a long time.
He can always sneak in a few sarcastic remarks to make you less angry. Just now, Foreman tried to persuade Anthony not to use the bathroom on the observation floor, but to use the pet toilet on the service floor to solve the problem.
Forman swore that even the pet toilet was a luxurious place that Anthony had never seen before.
Anthony Jean learned to Foreman what it meant to be a slave to others, and the simple truth that there is a price to pay for being mean-mouthed.
"That girl is too insecure. I don't think she will continue to resist now." Anthony looked at Chris through the monitoring equipment in the room: "Maybe we should let her calm down alone for a while."
The camera was temporarily installed by the Saints and is now used to monitor the situation in the room.
"It's my son she wants to freeze. I have to talk to her personally." Tang Ji whispered to Anthony. He only believed in himself on this matter.
"In this case, if she is being stimulated too much, it is better to speak softly and smile." Anthony looked at Tang Ji's face and was silent for a while: "Forget it, you should keep your true colors."
"Alia, open the door." Tang Ji ordered, but the door opened a crack with difficulty and was firmly stuck. The ice behind the door froze the door and the door frame together.
"Chris, what do you want?" Tang Ji didn't force the door open. He stared at the girl on the screen and shouted through the door.
"I want to go back...to a place I'm familiar with!" Chris replied with red eyes. She didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Her parents didn't need her, the only boyfriend she could rely on died because of her, and she didn't have many friends in school.
The more Chris thought about it, the sadder she became, and her tears condensed into ice beans and fell crackling down.
"Listen, Chris, I need your help." Tang Ji leaned against the door and lit a cigarette for himself: "I have a son, and he is not in a good condition, but I don't want to lose him, you have to help
I will freeze him and wait for the technology that can cure him to come out, and then help me thaw him."
"Why should I help you! You are a kidnapper!" Chris covered her ears and hid under the quilt.
"Because I rescued you from the previous kidnapper." Tang Ji shrugged: "I have a lot to tell you about that kidnapper."
