After accompanying Zhou Mengyao to the bustling commercial plaza for a day, and sending her to the company the next day, Ning Chen returned to the dormitory to pack up all his things, and then plunged into the sea without hesitation, searching along the bottom of the sea, heading south.
And go.
His ultimate destination this time is the Mariana Trench, known as the deepest on earth.
The Mariana Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean at the eastern end of the Northern Mariana Islands, which includes the famous US military base Guam and Saipan, known as a snorkeling paradise.
The bottom of the sea is vast and boundless. With Ning Chen’s consciousness within a mile or two, it’s not known how long it would take to scan it all. Although the Mariana Trench may not contain anything, as the deepest known place, it is better than other places.
The probability of having good stuff is higher.
Of course, when looking for something, you have to start from the place where it is easiest to find, so Ning Chen decided to make his first stop there and skim the bottom of the sea along the way to see if he would be lucky enough to make other discoveries.
Along the way to water escape, Ning Chen maximized the range of his spiritual consciousness, but most of the time he could only see the monotonous underwater world and various fish swimming by from time to time. Of course, there were a lot of ores, but unfortunately, even the rarest ores,
However, it does not belong to the Five Elements and is of no use.
Ning Chen did not stay in the South China Sea, but entered the Pacific Ocean directly from the northern tip of the Philippines, then turned around and turned southeast, flying all the way to his destination.
Entering the Pacific Ocean, Ning Chen's luck improved a lot. He actually discovered a water-based mineral vein on the seabed of a part of the Philippine Sea. Although the mineral vein was not large, the grade was generally up to yellow-level mid-grade. Ning Chen used the land to
Dunshu sneaked into the veins and found some high-grade yellow ores in the depths of the veins.
"Let me tell you, the earth is billions of years old after all. No matter how thin the spiritual energy is, how could it not have any savings?" Ning Chen was overjoyed.
If you can find one yellow-level high-grade mineral vein, you can also find ten yellow-level high-grade mineral veins. Xuan-level mineral veins or heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not impossible. The formation of the Great Five Elements Return to Origin Array is promising. How can you not make Ning
Chen is overjoyed?
This is not to say that in Bilan Continent, Ning Chen doesn't care about the low-grade Xuan-level ores, but just collects some casually for reserves and collections.
This is the earth. A few pieces of yellow-level low-grade jade can make Ning Chen happy for a long time. So Ning Chen didn’t even think about letting go of a piece of ore. He directly started the sweep mode on the seabed and used those yellow-level high-grade jade stones.
Taking the ore as the center, we explored dozens of miles around, and even went deep into the ground to dig out the veins thoroughly and cleanly.
Seeing that the storage space in the storage ring was finally not so empty, Ning Chen let out a sigh of satisfaction, gathered his mood, and moved on.
…
Ning Chen explored the sea, took out the Beidou positioning system, and re-determined his location.
"It's very close, we will soon reach the Northern Mariana Islands." Ning Chen said to himself, then looked at the big sun above his head, and plunged back into the sea.
"Huh?" Ning Chen returned to the bottom of the sea. Not long after leaving, a big guy suddenly appeared in the range of his spiritual consciousness.
This big guy is much bigger than the blue whale, the largest creature on earth, and its entire body is made of a special alloy. It is pitch black with a metallic luster, and the propeller at the tail rotates slowly, making only a slight sound.
A submarine.
This place is already Guam's sphere of influence, so it is self-evident which country this submarine belongs to. Ning Chen blinked, and for a moment he became playful and decided to joke with the people inside the submarine.
Ning Chen flew close and slapped the side of the submarine. The submarine, which was hundreds of meters long and had a displacement of several thousand tons, instantly tilted sideways and was almost thrown away by his slap.
"Dip! Dip! Dip!"
"Alert! Alert!" The red alarm light in the submarine kept flashing, "We are under attack, repeat, we are under attack, everyone gets into combat positions!"
The submarine became lively in an instant. Soon, not long after he lay down, the submarine commander who was about to take a rest rushed into the command room with a big bag on his head, "What's going on? We were hit by something.
Torpedoes or mines?”
"No, not at all, sir!" A sailor also looked puzzled. They had just inspected the submarine and found that there was no damage to the submarine.
"Then how come we have such a big shock?"
"Well, I think we might have been hit by a giant whale." Another sailor said with some confusion.
"Are you kidding me?" the commander couldn't help but said angrily, "Our radar doesn't respond to such a big creature? Which whale dares to hit the submarine? What kind of whale can knock us over?"
The sailor spread his hands, "But our submarine is not damaged, sir. I don't think if it is hit by a torpedo or mine, we can still chat here as if nothing happened."
"What, no damage?" the commander asked in surprise. He thought the submarine was seriously damaged due to such severe roll.
"Yes, sir, so I'm more inclined to think that we collided with a big software guy." The sailor said.
"Where's the radar? Turn on the active sonar and search for nearby targets!" the commander said.
"Reporting to the commander, it has been opened and nothing was found." said the sailor who was staring at the Leifa screen.
"Could it be an undercurrent under the sea?" asked another voice, but it was the submarine adjutant who had just entered.
"Probably not. This is Guam. We already know the hydrological conditions nearby very well. There will never be such a strong undercurrent here." Another sailor said.
"What's going on?" The commander patted the bulkhead and said angrily, "You must find out the reason for me!"
At this moment, the submarine suddenly rolled over again. This time it was more serious than last time. It rolled almost forty-five degrees. If the submarine's balance was not good, it would have rolled over and would not be able to come back.
If that were the case, they would have no choice but to sink to the bottom of the sea and then send a telegram asking the base to send someone to rescue them.
"Fuck!" The commander bumped into the bulkhead of the submarine, and another big bag instantly bulged up, forming a pair with the previous one.
"Full sonar! The submarine comes up, comes up! Let's get out of here, get out of here!" the commander who was still rolling shouted loudly.
"Report the situation to Guam and request support. We have encountered an unknown attack and are about to surface. Please request support from other ships!" The adjutant had a handle at hand. When the submarine tipped over, he grabbed it and did not fall.
"Alert! Alert!"
"We have encountered an unknown attack, all combatants are in place!"
