Due to the need for combat missions, the Ghost Claw Team has temporarily expanded to a scale of 500 people, but the captain is still Zhou Zhihao, and the new adjutant is Wei Changfeng.

As for the person in charge of leading the way, Huang Yu, the head of the North African branch of the Underground Palace, pointed out the space-time entrance he discovered to the combat unit, "Captain Zhou, there is a space crack we discovered in front of him."

"In recent decades, it seems that this crack has begun to become extremely active and intersect with our time and space. Just two years ago, after a merchant ship owned by ours disappeared inexplicably in this area, we launched an investigation here. It took more than a year to finally find the reason."

In the eyes of Zhou Zhihao, this is just a sea trade channel between the two continents of North America and South America. From here, you can see that there is monotonous sea water around you, and there is nothing special.

But after Huang Yu explained, he realized how many waves were hidden under the calm sea.

"Just below this sea area, there is a raised reef, three quarters of the size of a standard football field. We found a biochemical beast named fishman and some unique mechanical units on it."

The North African investigation team actually started from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Panama area, with the North Atlantic Ocean as its main investigation target. Therefore, the size of the entire operation team even exceeded that of the North American branch. In the United States, there are actually very few core members of the underground palace.

"Our action is mainly divided into three steps. The first step is to find and confirm the intersection point of different time and space, the second step is to clear the enemies around the entrance, and the third step is to enter different time and space." Zhou Zhihao was making the final mobilization of the action, "Entering different time and space will not cause harm to us. The real danger lies in what we will encounter."

This is both a comfort and a warning that the risk factor of this operation is still very high.

"Okay, the action begins!"

With the order, all the staff were ready to go. The same situation also occurred in Ji Hong and Cheng Lingfei's team.

There are three main places where abnormalities occur in space and time. The other places are extremely unstable space and time cracks, which sometimes appear and disappear. There is no pattern at all, and the danger is too high.

The three 50,000-ton cruise ships built by Zhong Yang look ordinary on the outside, but they are equipped with many high-tech weapon units, such as large submarines of 250 people and more than 50 pocket-sized submarines.

This pocket-sized submarine that can be driven by a single person is called a double-fin shark because of its unique aerodynamic shape. It can ride up to three people, carved with eighteen small high-explosive torpedoes, and one hundred and twenty short-range fighting harpoons. The launcher is placed at the front of the submarine.

This harpoon has a small amount of ** built in. It can only cause enough damage when it explodes inside an enemy unit.

The combat effectiveness of the "Two-Tip Shark" submarine is not very strong, but it is its flexibility in combat and is suitable for small-scale combat combat. It is more suitable for use in this current environment than large and medium-sized submarines.

The three "double-fin sharks" are arranged into a cone-shaped battle formation. As the most basic combat group, there are ten groups in the first echelon.

Each double-fin shark carries two team members. One is responsible for driving and the other is responsible for observation and attack. This is the most basic combat equipment.

Zhou Zhihao and vice captain Wei Changfeng, elites like them, usually drive alone.

Thirty double-fin sharks came and went like the wind in the sea, and the high-speed rotating jet turbine thrusters kept pushing the flowing water, stirring up a long string of bubbles.

Behind each double-fin shark, it has a long foggy tail. Its good aerodynamic shape and pocket size make this submarine quite flexible and can come and go freely in the sea.

With human technology, such submarines are not impossible to build, but they are not practical because they do not have corresponding energy technology. Submarines that rely on gas engines as the source of power need to consider the size of the oil cylinder and the living environment inside the submarine.

The appearance of the double-fin shark is designed as a "water drop" type, mainly to ensure the maximum speed at the bottom of the water. Moreover, practical standard energy is used as the source of power, and fossil fuel is abandoned, making its underwater range reach an astonishing 650 nautical miles.

The German submarine of the same era has a basic underwater range of less than 80 nautical miles.

It is mainly because the submarine can only be driven by the power stored in the battery underwater. The battery has limited power storage capacity and it will be out of power after working for a while and can only float up to charge. Therefore, submarines made by other countries cannot run far underwater due to the power storage capacity.

Generally, you can only run for about an hour at full speed, and you can only run a short distance and have to float up to charge. If you want to run a little further, you can run at a low speed, such as running at 3 knots of 90 nautical miles.

"Captain, the kind of thing in the information is actually going to be captured alive. What are the above thinking?" Deputy Captain Wei Changfeng is very talented. He was the adjutant selected by Zhou Zhihao himself, but he also complained at this time.

The fishman was mutated after the adult mermaid entered Bermuda. Although the number was very small, it was amazing. It was more than three and a half meters tall, and it was covered with hard scales. Its defense was almost the same as that of the Sherman tank.

With their extremely flexible figures at the bottom of the water and their powerful flesh and body power, it is not difficult to kill them, but it is not easy to capture them alive.

"It depends on your ability. It doesn't matter if you break your limbs, but it's best to capture them alive. This is the president's order."

"I understand!" Wei Changfeng knew that this was not the time to argue, so he could only agree first.

"The life reaction was found ahead, with an intensity of level 3 and a quantity of seven." Soon, the computer system loaded on the "Double-tie Shark" feedbacked the detected information.

Level 3 is a level of division of living organisms within the ancient Chinese Society, mainly based on the strength of living organisms. In comparison, humans and elephants are both of the second level, which shows the strength of fish man.

"From the second to the eighth groups, each group is responsible for one goal. As for the same sentence, try to capture it alive! The remaining groups are on standby!" Zhou Zhihao ordered that the first group was led by Zhou Zhihao and should be in the middle to support it. Now as long as the deputy captain leads the team to fight.

"Get orders!" Wei Changfeng took the lead and rushed forward with his two team members.

Fishmen are not social creatures and rarely gather together, but they have a desire for energy instinct that escapes from the cracks in time and space. Therefore, they gather in this reef.

The specific tactical arrangement is also very simple, which is to shoot from the middle distance to drag down these monsters.

"Switch to the oscillating warhead!"

The high-explosive bomb has too strong lethality. Since it is mainly captured alive, it is naturally impossible to use the high-explosive torpedo designed to destroy the target.

These mermaids are five hundred meters apart from each other. They do not have advanced wisdom, but their survival instinct also makes them understand that gathering together will only lead to food scarcity and fighting.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhihao and the others were able to divide and surround these mutated monsters and defeat them one by one.

This is not a deep sea area, and the deepest place is only about 1,200 meters, but even so, the light still cannot penetrate the sea water and shines here.

In the dim environment, the visibility is not high, so Wei Changfeng can only rely on the life detection device on the submarine to confirm the target.

The energy fluctuations of level 3 are more than six times that of sharks. The fluctuations in the life of fish man are like a burning torch, with no sign of hiding in front of high technology.

But in actual combat, the deep and heavy blue scales still provide them with good cover.

In the dim seabed environment, only if these monsters break into a range of ten meters, Wei Changfeng can discover them with his naked eyes. However, at such a close distance, the other party can rush over in one breath and tear the pocket-sized submarine to pieces.

These fishmen are different from their close relatives. They have huge palms and long nails on their fingertips. Wei Changfeng saw with his own eyes that it left deep scratches on the titanium alloy boat.

"Be careful to avoid everything, keep the high speed, and don't engage in close combat with the other party." Although he was prepared, the sudden battle still made Zhou Zhihao look bitter.

After one encounter, two double-fin shark submarines were lost, and no casualties were found.

"Hmph. On land, I can kill these monsters with bare hands!" Zhou Zhihao said angrily, but he understood that this was the bottom of the sea, and the opponent's home court. If he walked out of the submarine, he would definitely not survive for a minute.

"Rescue the escaped team members, and the ninth and tenth groups will be put into battle!" At this time, Zhou Zhihao did not plan to keep more reserve teams.

The sharp harpoon pierced the fishman's thick armor, but it was stuck there less than four centimeters and could do nothing more. Then, the delayed fuze automatically detonated the ** loaded at the front of the harpoon. With a muffled bang, a deep black liquid sprayed out, and there was a ball of minced meat.

"Shake!" A huge hissing sound rang in the deep sea, and invisible sound waves shocked the instrument of the double-fin shark submarine.

"A large energy fluctuation reaction came from the target body, and the level of the living body reached level 4!" Wei Changfeng was stunned when he looked at the data measured on the instrument.

At the same time, the injured fishman became even more violent. At this time, even the naked eye could see the surface of the other person's body swelled a circle, and his muscles were even more bulging. Even the thick scales were bulging with the veins and veins.

The hard bone spur outside the body easily pierced the defense layer of the titanium alloy at an extremely high speed, cutting the double-fin shark pocket-sized submarine costing 300,000 yuan into two pieces.

"They're four times faster! Five times faster!" some team members shouted.

Through the transmission of images and data, the logistics technology department on the flagship was also analyzing. One of the researchers exclaimed loudly: "The skins of these fishmen actually have cavitation effects. Look, the places where their bodies come into contact with the sea water are constantly emitting bubbles."

"Yes, there is no abnormality in the water temperature, which shows that it is not a boiling phenomenon." Another person also analyzed.

The researcher who spoke first shouted loudly: "But how is this possible? The cavitation phenomenon is caused by the high-frequency vibration of the object itself. The fishman is only a third-level living body. Even if it is strengthened to level 4 now, under such a strong amplitude, the flesh and body will definitely disintegrate!"

The people on the boat kept discussing and marveling, but Wei Changfeng, who was fighting on the front line, was not so leisurely.

The only one here is the Seven-Headed Fishman, which made the entire vanguard unit suffer. Fortunately, the other party only relies on instinct and does not understand tactics, otherwise he would probably be destroyed.

Since entering the Eternal Capital, Wei Changfeng has seen a completely different world, but the situation like today still makes him unable to adapt for a while.

Another sharp turn, avoiding the attack of a fishman, and distanced himself from the other party again.

"Damn it, where did these monsters come from?" Twisting the joystick, the double-fin shark driven by Wei Changfeng seemed elegant and agile, but also had an incomparable sharpness.

He had successfully knocked out the two fishmen. But now, he is just maintaining the balance between the two sides.

The life detector equipped on the double-tie shark has a radius of only 300 meters. Compared with the fishman with a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, this is only a few seconds.

If it weren't for the dispersed formation, constantly using cross-fire nets and taking turns to divert the target's attention, this battle would be impossible.

"That pure bastard from the Ministry of Science and Technology has a delay of at least 15 seconds for the automatic tracking system, and it is impossible to effectively aim!" Wei Changfeng shouted loudly in the microphone. He was fighting, and he was full of anger. His words were naturally not very good.

At this time, Zhou Zhihao and his team had already joined the battle. Not only him, but even half of Cheng Lingfei's troops who were still resting were involved in this battle.

After more than three hours of fierce fighting, more than twenty double-tip sharks were lost. The seven mutant fishmen were finally successfully captured, one of which had been confirmed dead.

"This is not caused by trauma." After carefully examining the body carried back, Chu Xiaorui, a Ph.D. in biology, made this conclusion. "The internal organs and muscles are all bloody and bloody. It seems that the organ failure caused by overdrawing of vitality and the large amount of internal bleeding caused by blood vessel bursts."

"Forcibly increase the level of life by dozens of times. Climbing to level 4 is still quite expensive." Another biology expert also stood up, "Hello Dr. Chu. I am Lin Zonghuan, from the headquarters."

"Hello, Dr. Lin." Chu Xiaorui greeted with a pair of flat glasses expressionlessly.

Lin Zonghuan looks too young, but she is only in her early twenties, but Chu Xiaorui is more or less aware of the transformation of her biological body. She is also very envious, but her level is not enough at present. But there is no such benefit.

People from the headquarters of the Ancient Chinese Society cannot tell by their age.

"The remaining materials need to be taken care of, they are very valuable assets for the organization." As soon as Lin Zonghuan appeared, the people around him were vaguely led by him. The members of the North African branch could not be dissatisfied with this.

Chu Xiaorui, who originally planned to keep some of the research specimens, had to stop thinking at this time.

On the other side, Zhou Zhihao and the others finally approached the thin crack in time and space. With the initial experience, the remaining two fishman nests became easier to clear, and there were not many casualties.

Compared to the terrifying combat power of the fishman, the mechanical units left by the Atlantic people are too mediocre in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

It's no wonder that almost 20,000 years have passed, and it would be nice to have these intelligent mechanical components that can move for a few more times. If human machines are soaked in the sea water, not to mention 20,000 years, they will be finished in two months.

What caught Zhou Zhihao's eyes was the ruins of a city. It was half buried under the sand and gravel at the bottom of the sea, and only the outline could be vaguely seen. The broken half-slate fell obliquely on the seabed. In countless years, it had long become the home of marine creatures.

A five-meter-high Greek goddess statue stood quietly among the colorful corals. Half of her body was buried in the soil, and only her arms holding the torch were still facing the sky, and her expression was still so peaceful and beautiful.

Collapsed round stone pillars can be seen everywhere, and the broken temple even only reveals a slightly protruding triangular top cover. The glorious civilization of the past is now in this deep sea, year after year, returning to dust and dead silence.

On the dark and obscure bottom of the sea, a straight road suddenly appeared in front of everyone. There was indeed a city here. What he saw and heard was an unprecedented impact on Zhou Zhihao. He felt that his struggle had all been meaningful.

"Only when you see these ruins, you will have an urgent hope to dig and understand the history and memory of that beauty buried in the years." This is what he said to Wei Changfeng. Warriors should also have dreams and pursuits, not just tools for killing.

"The search team unfolds, releases unmanned detectors, and looks for everything valuable!" There was an intermittent command from the caller. Because I couldn't hear clearly, this command was repeated six times.

The signal interference here is very strong, and it is thankful that it can maintain basic communication.

Dozens of spherical devices were thrown into the sea, and these intelligent robots with robotic arms could capture the surrounding environment through the camera. Because they were worried about signal interference, they were all set to set fixed routes to ensure that they could be safely recycled in the end.

"Archaeological work can be carried out slowly, but it is urgent to open the door to time and space." Zhong Yang thought so while sitting in the command room of the flagship.

He urgently needed to know what was there after the torn space-time fault, which should be related to the original Atlantis civilization.

This ancient human civilization left too many questions and yearnings for later generations.

The existence of the Ancient Literature Society also needs to absorb the technological and cultural crystallizations of super ancient civilizations to break through the fog of the future and open up a new golden age.

With such a dream, countless people gathered at the Ancient Chinese Society to wait for Zhong Yang's orders.

And today is the first step toward dreaming.
Chapter completed!
