An hour later, the Shetland Islands, the northernmost outpost of Pantoracen. The ship docked quietly amidst the drifting snow. A group of people jumped off the ship quietly and arrived with the help of another pair of knights.
Inside the outpost on the north coast of the archipelago.
Making full use of the environment, the outpost is carved out of the natural black basalt reef and is perfectly integrated with the island. If the Viking fleet approaches from within ten nautical miles, the outpost will be able to detect it in time and dispatch the fleet.
Support. Even if the Viking fleet is too large to be dealt with by this outpost, the knights in the station can also activate a powerful protective shield to hold on here for several weeks.
This was Arthur's first time to come to this kind of outpost. He pretended not to care, but his eyes were looking around at the internal structure of the outpost. Although it was carved out of a sea reef, the outpost was not what Arthur had imagined.
It's so humid that there seems to be some kind of magic that prevents moisture from invading the inside of the outpost. In fact, if you can ignore the disgusting, rough and pitted reef walls, this outpost can be a very comfortable habitat.
The group of people walked down about twenty feet from the stairs of the outpost, almost below the sea level, before arriving at the machinery warehouse here. The warehouse is connected to the seabed, and dozens of small reconnaissance submarines are parked in it.
This outpost is the only armed force.
The small submarine is about fifteen feet long and seems to be able to accommodate three crew members. Its jet black hull paint with almost no metallic luster makes it extremely difficult to be discovered by enemies in the deep sea. Its streamlined design is very elegant and simple, and the entire ship
The submarine has almost no metal seams and is embossed using a mold. Therefore, it can evenly distribute water pressure throughout the shell, allowing such a small submarine to have strong durability.
Pressure ability.
"It's amazing, you humans have already developed this kind of machine?" Bediwell looked at the precision parts of the submarine and exclaimed involuntarily.
Black armor knight Zack chuckled: "
Strictly speaking, this is not something that modern people have studied. We just copied this kind of machinery based on the knowledge left by ancient people. Ancient people left a lot of useful knowledge to modern people, and this submarine is one of them.
Without the scientific knowledge left by ancient people, humans would probably have to wait another two to three thousand years to create such powerful props. If we had to start from scratch, in the fifth century AD, even large ships carrying people on ocean voyages might not be able to do so.
Make it------We lack the photon engine to power it.
Without the scientific knowledge left by ancient people, modern people would still believe that the earth is a square land. It was not until 1589 BC that archaeologists discovered the scientific books of ancient people and knew that they were right.
What a stupid conjecture that the earth is square].
Ancient Kelton, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, ancient Greece, ancient Babylon... Although these ancient civilizations perished, they spared no effort to preserve the most precious and valuable wealth of knowledge for modern people, making them glorious.
Human beings in the region can be so prosperous.
How could these ancient civilizations, who were at war with each other and regarded as mortal enemies, work together to preserve these properties for modern people? This is still a mystery to this day.
The only thing modern people understand is that these ancient civilizations once faced a very terrible opponent, a race called "boundless darkness" in ancient books. The desperate ancient people united to temporarily seal the "darkness" and put their own best efforts into it.
Leave good cultural heritage to future generations.
------They place their hopes on the next generation.
"
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. We will use submarines to conduct undersea reconnaissance from here on out." Black-armored knight Zack said, his voice echoing in the empty warehouse, "Everyone, be careful. Your movements in the sea will be restricted. If you encounter
It would be very disadvantageous to be attacked."
"Can't we use large submarines?" Arthur looked a little uneasy looking at the small submarines that could only seat three people. These submarines looked like fragile items that would break if touched, although they were only small submarines.
This is due to the psychological effect of se.
Captain Zach laughed and said: "Using large-scale armaments at the border? Idiot, do you want to provoke an all-out war with the mermaids? ------ Even the mermaids only instigated the Vikings to do various things to us.
It's just pirate-style robbery. They don't dare to invade openly!?"
"Why do you have to beat around the bush when doing things?" Bediwell, a werewolf boy, asked puzzledly, while curiously touching the black and slippery shell of the submarine.
"Because the party that starts the war always wants to insist that it is [just]. The invaders always want to put on a decent face, so that they don't look so ugly in the eyes of the world." Zach grinned and sneered.
, "You are still young and may not understand these wrestling games between countries. But one day you will understand. The adult world is so hypocritical and ugly."
"I would rather never become so ugly." The werewolf boy shook his head and looked at the captain.
"Haha, you can't refuse to grow up, kid." Zach said, "But you can try to keep your kindness. ----- Well, it is indeed a good thing, just do your best."
Bedivere couldn't help but look at Arthur, and he found that the indifference on Knight Arthur's face deepened.
There was no suspense. Arthur, Kay, and Bedivere were on a submarine together. When Kay jumped into the submarine, the submarine obviously sank a few inches deep into the water.
"Are you sure this thing really won't leak?" Arthur was a little nervous. He looked at the inner wall of the submarine and checked the surroundings over and over again.
"Could it be...Arthur, after so many years, you haven't learned to swim yet!?" Kai tapped the submarine with his hand and sneered.
"Isn't it possible?" Arthur said angrily with a red face, "I am determined to be a swordsman, not a swimmer!"
"You --- well, even if the submarine is going to sink anyway, I will drag you to the shore as a landlubber. Don't worry, you will never drown." Sir Kay said helplessly.
"Then," Bedivere blushed with shame and huddled behind the knight Arthur: "Please, there is another landlubber here."
"Even you?!------" Kai sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay! Two little ones are not a burden, I can still handle it. I finally understand why I was programmed
I’m in your team, it turns out mine is a large lifebuoy!”
"I'm sorry, you're right." The captain's voice came from the communicator, "You hurry up and save people------Oh no, hurry up, we are about to leave."
"Team Arthur, start diving." Arthur said helplessly. He pressed the button and started the submarine.
The submarine began to slowly dive into the water until it completely sank underwater. The cabin of the submarine was shrouded in silence. Arthur took a deep breath in the darkness. The only light in front of him was the indicator lights on the instrument panel.
