Super Mothership

With the return of the Sea Wolf and Nie Yun, the base was busy again.

Considering the plan of exchanging iron ore with Chu Group's iron ore, Nie Yun spent half a day increasing the size of the wolf robot made of existing common materials to 30,000 units, which almost exhausted all kinds of inventory resources recently collected in the base.

Subsequently, these little wolf robots began to mine iron ore day and night in the three seabed iron ore enrichment areas surveyed, and then stacked them on the spot, waiting for Nie Yun to send a ship to receive them.

The three seabed iron mines are all open-pit mines that are extremely easy to mine. According to the current efficiency, nearly 30,000 tons of iron ore can be mined in one day.

In order to facilitate the supply of energy, he also laid cables from the base to these three locations, and the little wolf robot can replenish energy on the spot.

Seen from above, this seabed mining area has been occupied by a dense number of mining robots, and the noise generated by mining ore has caused nearby fish to flee in panic.

For the first time, the pace of human industrialization has reached such a deep ocean, and the scientific and technological power of large-scale intervention has begun to conquer this underwater world that has been calm for thousands of years!

After the mining area was on the right track, under Nie Yun's order, all the mechanical bugs continued to devour the Aquarius.

Submarine base.

The Aquarius is now only half broken and looks miserable, and beside it, the Panama and two other smaller thousand-ton freighters are waiting to accept the same fate as the Aquarius.

Countless mechanical worms are constantly gnawing at the hull and the cargo on the ship. Every moment, the number of mechanical worms is growing rapidly.

In just over a day, the number of mechanical insects has grown to 8,000 tons, which is only one step away from the 10,000-ton level. According to the characteristics of the increase in the number of mechanical insects, the further time goes on, the larger the group, the faster and faster its swallowing and growth rate will be!

With the further expansion of the number of mechanical bugs, Nie Yun has already begun to upgrade the Sea Wolf.

The Seawolf is still a thousand-ton ship. Although he has made some fine-tuning of some defective details and shapes during the voyage, the overall structure and volume have not changed much.

He is currently searching for some knowledge on ship design. According to his plan, the next step is to build a 10,000-ton Super Sea Wolf.

It is envisaged that the Super Sea Wolf should not only be able to submerge, but also have the capability of land, sea and air amphibious combat, and can adapt to a variety of harsh environments. It also needs to have strong manufacturing capabilities.

In the future, it will be an omnipotent multifunctional super mothership!

Such a ship design can be said to have never appeared in human history. After all, the earth has never had such a magical construction material as a mechanical bug.

As the first person to eat crabs, Nie Yun can only learn from the best of many families, take the essence of it, and design it from scratch.

Of course, there are still many details missing in Nie Yun's current knowledge reserve, but when the goods on the two orders arrive and devour those weapons and equipment, the Super Sea Wolf will be possible!

Nie Yun is full of expectations for the new Sea Wolf!

...

Summer City.

In the afternoon of that day, the news that the three cargo ships under the RI Group sank almost at the same time came out soon after a period of fermentation. Such a big event involved so many people that the RI Group couldn't cover it even if it wanted to.

The incident was quickly exposed by the media, and immediately caused an uproar!

Within three days, the RI Yao Group had a total of four ships, one was suspected to be hijacked by a ghost ship, and the three sank strangely in the same sea area for no reason.

"Ghost Sea"! This is the media's new name for this area.

A ship was hijacked by a ghost ship, maybe a gimmick! Three ships sank at the same time, perhaps by coincidence! But what if these four ships are all owned by one group? What if they all happened in the same sea area? That's a big deal!

"Cursed Sun"! The term appears frequently in media reports.

A gossip media even publicly claimed that the RIYA Group was cursed by the ghost ships in the sea area, and all passing ships would be attacked by ghost ships.

For a time, the reputation of the RI Yao Group plummeted, and the ocean-going business was almost immediately stagnant. No company dared to let such an unfortunate RI Yao Group take over its own transportation task.

Of course, they are also famous to a certain extent. At least seven or eight reporters from gossip magazines are crowding around the entrance of the RI Group headquarters, wanting to inquire about "the story that has to be told between RYO and the ghost ship!"

Affected by this, the stock price of Riyao Group fell by the limit again after a slight recovery this morning! The outside world is full of bad voices!

The headquarters of Riyao Group.

"What the hell is going on, I need an explanation! The board of directors needs an explanation!" Han Xiangsheng no longer looked calm and calm, and roared at the vice president.

Hearing the situation, Han Yi has already rushed over, standing next to him at this time, his face is also very ugly.

"Han Dong, this... We really don't know the specific reason! The captains of the three ships said exactly the same thing, and the bottom of the ship was damaged in several places.

As for why this happened, they have no clue... Could it really be..."

"Fuck! How can there be ghost ships in this world that are staring at us for no reason? It must be man-made!

check! Send a professional investigation team to the wreck area to find out! Give me a careful inspection of the cracks, as long as there is evidence that this is man-made, I can save some of the reputation of the sun! "

"Han Dong, after the incident, I immediately dispatched the group's investigation team to the wreck area to investigate. I think there will be news coming back soon!" As soon as the vice president finished speaking, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that he was the leader of the investigation team! He immediately asked Han Xiangsheng for instructions before picking up the phone.

"Hey! Has your investigation team arrived at the shipwreck area? How is the investigation now?" The vice president asked immediately as soon as he answered the phone.

"Huh? What did you say? Tell me again!?" The vice president immediately changed his face after hearing a few words from the other side, and reconfirmed to the other side in disbelief.

After listening for a while, the vice president hung up the phone with a pale face and looked at Han Xiangsheng.

"What's the situation! Tell me now!" Seeing his appearance, Han Xiangsheng immediately had a bad premonition.

"Han Dong, those ships...it...they have disappeared!" Deputy Summary stammered.

"Disappeared?!" The father and son of the Han family repeated in disbelief with wide eyes.

"What does it mean to disappear? How did it disappear?!" Han Xiangsheng asked gloomily.

"The three sunken ships are all... all gone! The investigation team has searched all over the sea area where the ships sank, and there is no trace of the sunken ship..."

The three looked at each other.

Han Xiangsheng fell on the leather seat with a pale face, unable to recover for a long time.

"How could this happen, could it be salvaged by someone?" Han Yi asked unwillingly.

"Master Han, let's not talk about the two thousand-ton cargo ships, the Panama is a fully loaded ten thousand-ton cargo ship. The crew was present when the ship sank, and there were no suspicious ships nearby. Even if there were, it would be impossible to complete the salvage operation in such a short time. Yes!" The vice president smiled bitterly.

"This..." Even though Han Yi was an atheist, he couldn't help but feel a hair in his heart at this time, and he didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Right! Hurry! Immediately block the news! Don't let this news be known to the media!" Han Xiangsheng immediately stood up and ordered urgently, as if remembering something.

Too bad it's a little late.

The person in charge of the public relations department suddenly hurried in and said: "Han Dong, it's not good, there are many reporters downstairs, all asking whether the sunken ship has disappeared mysteriously?"

"What?!" The father and son of the Han family looked at each other, their faces pale.

Undoubtedly, the mysterious disappearance of the wreck will make the existence of the ghost ship even more real, and they will be labelled "Cursed Sun"!

Today is definitely a disaster day for the sun!

...

When Nie Yun was idly browsing the Internet, he realized that it was covered with reports about the "ghost ship incident".

He was also taken aback, and was instantly impressed by the rich imagination of the masses. Then he thought about it, smiled wickedly, and posted a Weibo while watching the fun...

At about 4:00 p.m., an inconspicuous Weibo was quickly pushed up by the melon eaters, and the number of retweets quickly exceeded one million times!

The blogger's name is "(Angry) Captain", which is really common compared to all kinds of weird names on the Internet. However, the photos attached below are not ordinary.

All kinds of marine life and dappled light and shadows all indicate that this photo was taken on the bottom of the sea.

In the photo, one large, two small, three cargo ships are lying quietly in the sediment that has been deposited for tens of thousands of years.

And on the bow of the largest shipwreck, several striking characters of "Panama" are listed!

Under the overwhelming media coverage, everyone is not unfamiliar with this ship.

The comments below exploded instantly!

"Damn, what did I see! It's the three wrecks that disappeared! Who's to tell me that's not true!"

"Weibo surprises the captain of the ghost ship! I lied to you as a puppy!"

"According to experts' appraisal, the picture is not synthetic, and there are pictures and truths!"

"Wife! Come out and see the ghost!"

"Why is Captain Ghost (angry)?"

"It doesn't matter, it must be the Riyao Group that annoyed the captain! Otherwise, can people stare at their family's boat?"

"Ask, does the captain still recruit crew members? I am a man who is determined to become the pirate king!"

...

At first, the comments were normal, then very normal, the building began to crook...

"Master Ghost Captain, I need to remind you that according to our country's criminal law, whoever robs public or private property by violence, coercion or other methods shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 3 years but not more than 10 years, and shall be fined!"

"There is nothing wrong with the upstairs. First, we need to build a prison that can hold ghosts. Then, in order to make it easier for Captain Ghost to pay the fine, we also need to know the exchange rate of ghost coins to soft sister coins."

"Well, the plan upstairs is reasonable and reasonable, and I agree! As the 567th generation descendant of Maoshan and a ghost hunter, I personally suggest that the high-voltage power grid can be used to limit the freedom of each other's life!"

"Pfft, do you want to laugh at brother and inherit brother's legacy?"
