Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 474
474 Pursuit
At this moment, everyone in the command center was furious. Even Wu Mo could not help but curse.
The worst-case scenario still happened. He had been worried that the sea monsters would not quietly wait for death in the sea and would instead take the initiative to attack the coastal cities.
When they attacked human society, panic and destruction followed!
To this end, he had made up his mind to develop the Heart of the Ocean to monitor the sea monsters’ whereabouts, predict their moves, and prevent them from approaching the coastal cities.
However, who would have thought that the Heart of the Ocean would fail to capture their movement information in time?
!!
What was going on?
Right then, a bold idea flashed through Wu Mo’s mind: Was there some kind of anti-information barrier deep under the sea that hid the whereabouts of these monsters, hence the Heart of the Ocean could not capture them?
“Impossible, impossible…”
He shook his head again. If the Heart of the Ocean could not track them, would this not imply that there was an unknown civilization hidden at the bottom of the sea? Otherwise, who could create such a magical device to control the transmission of information?
Finally, the cruiser fired a ground-to-air missile, which blasted the monster’s huge head into pieces. Golden blood poured down like rain before the monster’s huge body fell and floated on the shore of the port.
The other monsters tried to escape, but they were all killed by the terrifying firepower. After some specimens were collected, the military’s higher-ups decided to burn the monsters’ corpses immediately since no one knew what their bodies contained! Once they rotted and produced toxins, it would be extremely difficult to deal with them.
Work such as appeasing the injured and saving property was carried out in full swing. The damage caused by the few monsters was incalculable!
An emergency meeting was held with the old chief, important officers, and Wu Mo all in the meeting room. Everyone had to find a solution to deal with the upcoming situation.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let me emphasize once again that this isn’t a science fiction movie or a novel. This is a real battle between monsters and humans! They’re beginning to attack us first!” The old chief’s tone was heavy.
Previously, everyone could take the initiative and face the challenge, but it was different now. The monsters could directly take them out! If the monsters escaped the Heart of the Ocean’s detection and attacked the coastal cities, they would be reduced to mere decorations.
Such a situation could not happen!
“Wu Mo, why did the Heart of the Ocean’s data capture fail?” the old chief asked curiously.
“There might be a natural information blocking device at the bottom of the sea, Chief, but we don’t know what it is exactly.”
Wu Mo pondered for a short while before he added, “Chief, can we send some members of the Marine Corps to the sea area about five thousand meters away in a special submarine? They could try to investigate the terrain across the seabed and find suspicious objects around the Heart of the Ocean. Only by destroying this natural shield can the Heart of the Ocean fully monitor the situation.”
Wu Mo’s suggestion was quite valuable, but it brought a big problem for the officers present. Who would be qualified for this mission?
This mission required the executors to carry out a special operation thousands of meters deep in the sea, and it would take a lot out of the soldiers.
Even the best navy elites would find it difficult to complete this task because they had never received any training for it.
When would they go thousands of meters deep into the sea during regular training?
The more critical problem was how to get information from the submarine thousands of meters deep?
This technical problem sounded simple, but it was actually full of difficulties.
Wu Mo contemplated for a moment and suggested, “I’ll develop a water-resistant diving suit that can withstand ultra-high water pressure at a depth of several thousand meters. With it, the soldiers will be able to complete their mission smoothly.”
“Yes, if we have a pressure-resistant diving suit like that, the problem should be solved.” The officers present nodded.
After that, Wu Mo returned to the R&D center and immediately searched through the system for a related R&D path.
This ultra-speed anti-water pressure diving suit was different from traditional anti-pressure suits. It used a composite structure made of multiple materials, which greatly improved its anti-pressure function. Even if the user was thousands of meters deep, it could still perfectly protect the user against the water pressure.
If he wanted this ultra high-pressure diving suit to make an impact, it would probably have to stand the pressure up to ten thousand meters below sea level.
Wu Mo went all out and quickly developed the ultra high-pressure diving suit.
The elites of the Marine Corps who were in charge of carrying out the mission began to try it on.
After the preliminary test, they could hardly feel the water pressure at the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters away.
This chilling phenomenon was shocking.
Hundreds of meters deep in the sea, the water pressure was like a giant rock that weighed hundreds of kilograms.
However, thanks to this high-pressure diving suit, this feeling was completely gone.
“Oh, my God, this feels magical! I think I can go deep into the Mariana Trench with this diving suit!” a soldier could not help but praise.
Then, the Marine Corps members put on their diving suits, boarded the nuclear submarine, and ventured deep into the sea.
When they arrived near the Heart of the Ocean, they observed their surroundings through the submarine’s glass window, ready to move out when necessary.
“Yes, something’s wrong. Other than that, there are no other suspicious objects around… What’s that?”
A few experienced Marine Corps members noticed that there was a dark cave not far from the Heart of the Ocean. It seemed to be some creature’s nest.
Through their communication with the command center, the team members on the submarine learned that this was one of the suspected monster caves they had discovered earlier.
“Ah, so it’s a monster cave. But there aren’t any monsters around!”
The submarine approached the entrance of the cave, and the crew found that it was about sixty to seventy meters in diameter; it had an irregular oval shape.
It was pitch black inside, and they could not identify anything. Such a hole was enough to accommodate golden-scaled monsters that were dozens of meters long. However, it could not fit any monsters over a hundred meters.
Therefore, the soldiers on the submarine speculated that there should be more than one such cave, and they should be at least twice as large.
“Conduct an ultrasonic infrared scan now!” The soldiers began to get busy.
Following the scan, they found that there were indeed strong wave particle rays spreading in all directions near the cave entrance.
These rays were more intense than infrared rays, violet rays, and other known rays. Besides, they were present at depths of two to five thousand meters below sea level.
Everything within a three-thousand-meter radius was affected by the wave particles.
After the soldiers in the submarine reported the information, the personnel in the command center could finally pinpoint where the culprit was.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment as he did not understand how such particles could appear in the nest of the sea monsters.
He sent an order to the submarine and asked if the soldiers could leave the submarine temporarily to obtain a soil sample from the monster nest.
Upon hearing Wu Mo’s order, the soldiers slowly left the submarine and cautiously approached the nest. They quickly collected soil samples and returned.
Just as they returned to the submarine, an angry roar came from the nest, and the submarine immediately began to surface.
As the submarine accelerated, a furious forty-meter-long monster chased after it.
