Deep Space Scavenging, Hand Over Alien Warships at the Beginning

Chapter 69 The Ghost Arrives”Yes! Mission guaranteed to be completed!”

With Chen Weiguo’s final approval, Lin Yuan felt as if the blood in his entire body had been ignited.

Refreshing!

Risking his life to work hard ”gold farming” outside, wasn’t it all just so his family could stand tall and not be bullied by outsiders?

Now, the opportunity had arrived!

”Technology Department! Modify the return parameters immediately!” Chen Weiguo’s order rang out like a thunderclap in the Command Center. ”Reset the final materialization coordinates to East Longitude XXX, North Latitude XXX! The margin of error cannot exceed ten meters!”

”Yes!” the Head of Technology Department responded loudly, his face also flushed with excitement.

”Intelligence Analysis Department! Contact the East Sea Fleet immediately! Have them conduct a routine military exercise in the target waters! Make a big scene! Attract the attention of the Eagles and all their lackeys!”

”Understood!”

”Medical Team! Li Na! Your task is to monitor Lin Yuan’s mental state throughout the entire process! The materialization process may impose a huge load on his mind! Once any abnormality occurs, immediately initiate the highest-level mental soothing protocol!”

”Received!” Li Na clenched her fists tightly and nodded vigorously.

”Academician Wang!” Chen Weiguo finally looked at Academician Wang.

”Here!”

”You will personally sit in command! From now until the end of the operation, all resources and experts of the entire ’scavenger’ project team will be under your unified command! I only want one result!”

”Success is the only option, failure is not allowed!”

”Yes! Chief!” Academician Wang’s chest heaved violently; he felt his heart, which felt thirty years younger, beating at an unprecedented speed.

An unprecedented ”dimensional strike” operation, led by the ’scavenger’ project team and spanning dimensions and technological generations, thus began!

...

”Comrade Lin Yuan, the coordinates have been reset.”

”The East Sea Fleet’s feint exercise began five minutes ago. According to intelligence, at least one aircraft carrier battle group and three reconnaissance satellites of the Eagles have already been lured to the exercise area.”

”The materialization process is expected to begin in 10 minutes. Please prepare yourself.”

Li Na’s calm and professional voice rang out in Lin Yuan’s headset.

”Received.”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly calming his excitement.

He knew that every step from here on was crucial and could not afford the slightest mistake.

He operated the ”ghost” and checked all the status of the machine one last time.

Energy reserves: 100%.

Weapon systems: Unlocked and ready for use.

Jump engine: Unlocked, on standby.

”Very good, status is perfect.”

Lin Yuan switched the ”ghost” to the highest level of stealth mode.

”Chief, Academician Wang, everyone,” he said slowly into the communicator, ”I am ready.”

”Lin Yuan,” Chen Weiguo’s voice was as steady as a mountain, ”Remember, safety first. You are not fighting alone. Behind you is the entire country.”

”Understood.”

”Depart!”

Following Chen Weiguo’s order.

Lin Yuan pressed the button representing ”return” on the system interface.

”Buzz—”

A familiar sense of weightlessness, as if his soul was being pulled away, struck him instantly.

The disgusting dark maze composed of flesh and pipes around him began to twist and blur rapidly, finally disappearing completely.

An endless, colorful torrent of data completely swallowed his consciousness.

This was a journey that crossed dimensions.

...

East Sea, 4500 meters deep.

This was a place of absolute darkness and absolute silence.

The immense water pressure was enough to instantly crush a conventional submarine into a pile of scrap metal.

Yet, right here in this forbidden zone of life.

A silver-white submersible with a sci-fi design was hovering quietly.

It was the ”deep sea 20000” that the Little Sun Country was so proud of.

Inside the submersible, the pilot Yamamoto was looking at the screen in front of him with excitement.

The rising sun flag on the screen, made of special alloy and shining brightly under the searchlight, was so conspicuous, so ”beautiful.”

”Hahaha! Did you see that? You people of Great Xia! This is the great technical power of our Great Sun Empire!” Yamamoto laughed triumphantly into the communicator, ”Where are your submarines? Where are your coast guard ships? They can only watch us from the surface like a group of incompetent, furious monkeys, yet they can do nothing to us!”

His words were transmitted back to the mothership ”Black Tide” via an encrypted channel.

A burst of uproarious laughter erupted in the Command Center.

”Well said! Mr. Yamamoto!” the captain held a cup of sake, his face full of intoxication, ”Let those stupid Great Xia people see clearly what a true maritime power is!”

Their live broadcast signal was still being sent to the whole world.

Countless citizens of Little Sun Country were watching in front of their TVs and computers, enjoying the vanity brought by this ”national pride.”

However, none of them noticed.

Just about fifty meters directly above the ”deep sea 20000”.

That pitch-black, cold seawater suddenly began to undergo a extremely strange... distortion that did not conform to any principles of fluid mechanics.

It was as if an invisible, huge piece of jelly had been stuffed into the water out of thin air.

”Huh?”

In the cockpit of the ”deep sea 20000”, a technician in charge of sonar monitoring suddenly frowned.

”What is it, Sato?” Yamamoto glanced at him sideways and asked with some dissatisfaction.

”No... nothing, Mr. Yamamoto.” The technician named Sato said somewhat uncertainly, ”Just now... our passive sonar array seemed to have captured a... very strange, fleeting noise.”

”Noise? What kind of noise?”

”I can’t say...” Sato scratched his head, looking puzzled, ”The sound didn’t sound like any known marine life, nor did it sound like a submarine propeller. It... it sounded more like a... high-frequency hum, but it disappeared instantly. Our system didn’t even have time to analyze its spectrum.”

”Tsk, it must be a system error.” Yamamoto waved his hand disdainfully, ”In this kind of ghost place, the hydrological environment is complicated as hell, isn’t it normal to have some electromagnetic interference? Don’t make a fuss, it’s affecting my mood to create history, Mr. Yamamoto!”

”Hai!” Sato dared not say anything more and could only lower his head to continue staring at his screen.

But the inexplicable unease in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

What he didn’t know was.

Just at that moment.

A pitch-black ”ghost”, full of biological aesthetics and seemingly from the future, had already silently completed its materialization above their heads.

The ”ghost” had descended.

Lin Yuan opened his ”eyes”, looking at the pitch-black, oppressive deep sea in front of him, feeling the terrifying pressure transmitted from the machine’s hull, and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

”Holy crap, this water pressure is too intense.”

He saw on the system panel that the energy consumption of the Kinetic Deflection Field was continuously and slowly increasing. Obviously, the field was fully resisting this terrifying deep-sea pressure.

”Fortunately it’s the ’ghost’. If it were the ’scavenger no. 2’, it would probably have become an iron pancake on the spot.”

He looked down.

The silver-white submersible, looking like a large rice cooker, instantly came into his view.

And next to it, that flag... planted on the seabed, looking particularly glaring under the searchlight.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.

A nameless anger slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

”Little Sun...”

”Your grandpa is here to teach you a lesson.”
