Terrifying Technology, Cyberpunk Expeditionary Force!
Launch a rocket from 5,000 meters underwater.
This is already an impossible feat in Earth science.
There isn't a powerful enough energy source to propel a rocket through the terrifying pressure underwater, allowing it to rise into the air and fly.
There isn't a material strong enough to withstand deep-sea compression and maintain stability.
Unless it's divine power!
Having not prepared anything beforehand, Su Mo quickly swam upstream after discovering the location, rapidly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Two choices
"First, the Shan Hai Painting card alters the terrain, pushing these mountains directly onto the sea surface to form new floating islands."
"But this means I'll have to invest a Legendary-Class card before I even find the Ocean God, which is a huge cost..."
"Secondly, I used my God of Food God authority to create something containing immense energy."
"Food?"
"As long as the power is great enough and the rocket's outer shell is strong enough, I can still hit it even at a depth of 5,000 meters underwater!"
Before actually seeing the entire rocket and preparing for launch.
Su Mo did not choose to read books on aerospace knowledge.
On one hand, he didn't want these things to stifle his imagination, and on the other hand, he wanted to be bolder! The descent was slow, but the ascent became faster.
Twenty minutes later, when light finally appeared above the sea, Su Mo's speed increased once again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Just like someone who has been imprisoned for decades being released.
What should have been half an hour in the deep sea felt like an eternity to Su Mo.
Once on the sea, he couldn't help but gasp for breath, and looking at the Sun Chaser floating on the sea, he couldn't hide his smile.
At this moment, Su Mo also decided that he would use his Food God authority!
The game has been updated and may still have some oversight, but it will definitely be much weaker than before.
At that moment, he felt like someone trapped in the deep sea.
If we don't take this opportunity to ascend and see the higher levels of the world now, this chance will become even more precious after the game's bugs are fixed.
Even less! "Oreo, can you withstand the pressure at a depth of 5,000 meters underwater?"
The title of Ocean God is just a trial card; it does not grant the user the authority to grant abilities to others.
Back on the Sun Chaser, Su Mo took out some pre-prepared gadgets and asked questions as he assembled them.
The last game-wide buff restored some of Oreo's abilities.
It was unclear how much Su Mo had recovered, but at this moment, Oreo nodded firmly, indicating that he had no problems.
"Alright, let's go down together later and explore this ruin properly!"
Just like the first time I took Oreo to explore the mysterious ruins of Liangfang Town, I felt excited and apprehensive.
After putting the last item into his spatial storage, Su Mo felt an overwhelming surge of pride.
The next second, I took one last lingering look at the shimmering world on the sea.
With Oreo in hand, the man and his dog leaped down!
Splash! The sound of the plunge into the water was quite loud, but it was almost inaudible due to the obstruction of the waves.
Upon entering the sea, before Su Mo could even give any instructions, Oreo surprised him once again.
Oreo shook its head, signaling Su Mo to swim over and lie on its back.
After Su Mo did just that, just like in front of the Kobold Castle, Oreo transformed back into the giant wolf that was over three meters long! And this time, Oreo's body was more streamlined, and his muscle lines were more defined.
Streaks of black and white Divine Light emanated from her fur, circulating repeatedly before disappearing back beneath her skin.
Ripples spread outwards from her limbs.
"Woof!"
A deep, thunderous roar resounded, causing the water to ripple.
In the blink of an eye, before Su Mo could react, Oreo's giant tail, which was over a meter long, began to spin like a propeller.
A tremendous thrust came crashing down, and the speed that used to allow them to descend only two hundred meters per minute was now terrifyingly increased to one kilometer per minute!
Even with the added advantage of the title of Ocean God, Su Mo was still slightly alarmed by this power.
In less than five minutes, as Oreo slowed down, the man and dog had already arrived among the mountains! Whoosh. Before Su Mo could continue operating, a sphere with a radius of three meters rose up, encircling Oreo's body, displacing all the water, and blocking the pressure of the seawater.
"Holy crap, isn't this Water Repelling Pearl?!"
"Has Oreo become this powerful?!"
Seeing this godlike operation up close for the first time, Su Mo's face showed a hint of shock.
But soon, after seeing the slight pain on Oreo's face...
Su Mo quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly took out a light stick from his Storage Space and tapped it against his body.
Boom! A beam of light burst forth five thousand meters underwater!
Despite the brightness of the light from the seawater diversion, the Oreo barrier made it clearly visible within a 30-meter radius.
It's like excavating the ruins of Atlantis.
High in the mountains, a man and a dog descended while carefully searching for their prey.
In terms of the material of the mountains, these underwater mountains are not much different from those outside.
After crossing the first mountain, cross the second one.
When the first fuel rod ran out, Su Mo was surprised to find that the map of the Storage Space had magically lit up when he tried to open it again.
"This is."
He pulled it out and looked at the map, which showed the outside world with more frequent flashes of light. Su Mo had some guesses in his mind.
The next second, as he turned around, the map's light dimmed.
When he turned south, the light became even dimmer.
But when he headed northwest, the light was almost usable as Fuel Rods, which was quite amazing.
"Hmm, let's go take a look in that direction!"
Following the direction Su Mo pointed, Oreo strained its tail, and the man and dog shot out.
"Stop! Head west!"
"South."
"Westward."
"."
Based on the light patterns on the map, Su Mo quickly adjusted his direction of travel along the way.
And this map gradually evolved from the initial Fuel Rods level to the terrifying lighthouse level.
Protected by the Oreo, the light could not hurt Su Mo's eyes.
But the effect on the outside world is that it makes everything within a hundred meters as bright as day! It's like being twenty-three meters underwater, before the light can go any further.
In Su Mo's sight, a collapsed man-made structure finally appeared! "A pile of rubble, the stones cracked relatively evenly, with quite a few large pieces."
"It seems this is the true location of the ruins!"
Having found the location, Su Mo was overjoyed and immediately jumped off Oreo's back, swimming towards the pile of rubble himself.
According to the map description, if a battle is taking place here, the pile of rubble is most likely located in the outer area.
The fact that the distribution is so even on the outer perimeter indicates that there must be some support structure present.
It's most likely either the main entrance or a hidden door! Currently, Su Mo's strength has reached over five tons.
Furthermore, with the added advantage of the title of Divine Messenger, he could easily lift these boulders, even if they were in the sea.
After a moment, and some searching and moving around, a passage blocked by rubble appeared before Su Mo.
And the direction of this passage is exactly inside the mountain.
"The map reacts more strongly here, so it seems this is the correct location."
"As for these rubble, they're not a big problem!"
Call Oreo over, reduce the size of the protective shield, and only place the map inside it for lighting.
In the deep sea, Su Mo instantly transformed into a human excavator and began violently flipping backward! He picked up any rocks that could be moved and threw them backward with a thud.
As for the rocks that couldn't be moved, he pulled out a high-quality Stone Pickaxe from his spatial storage and smashed them in a few blows.
The quality of this stone is only average.
Nothing could stop Su Mo from digging like this.
In just ten minutes, he cleared more than twenty meters of passage with Brute Force.
Here, the rubble gradually becomes larger, proving that there must be a supporting structure inside.
"Looking at it this way, the Expeditionary Force's progress is in no way worse than that of the Yan Country, and may even be better!"
"To be able to build such a structure inside a mountain, they must have restored their full productivity and mechanical capabilities!"
He chipped away at another boulder, and as he watched more and more stones come to life, Su Mo pondered this as he worked harder.
In a short while.
When Su Mo's hands were empty, it was as if a clogged toilet had been flushed.
Under the terrifying pressure, the seawater rushed in with a whoosh.
They didn't rush in. Only after the seawater filled the space inside did Su Mo make a gesture, and the man and the dog slowly moved forward through the opening.
Unlike the long tunnel, inside the gap is a separate space that is about 30 meters long and wide and 15 meters high.
At this moment, after the seawater rushed in, Su Mo could clearly see some impurities in it.
It was obvious that the contents inside had been crushed into dust by the pressure!
As for the ones that hadn't been crushed, after examining them closely, Su Mo's expression began to turn serious.
These things were familiar to him.
It was the organization of those mad creatures in the ruins of Liangfang Town! These creatures felt no pain, had no consciousness, and could even defy the laws of physics to launch some abnormal attacks.
Even at a depth of 5,000 meters on the seabed, some parts that retain their membranes are still as strong as steel and have not completely lost their vitality.
"Could it be that this satellite ruin was attacked by those crazed creatures?"
Keeping this discovery in mind, Su Mo slowly sank down.
On the lower side of the wall near the interior of the space, he saw a door.
The material of this door is not ordinary steel; it's more like an alloy, similar to the door of the Ma Gu Sanctuary.
Without rushing to figure out how to enter, Su Mo opened the system and slowly began scanning.
The panel returned as the green light flickered.
[Level 9 Rhenium Tin Niobium Tri-Alloy Gate (operating normally)]
[Description]: A protective door incorporating high-strength alloy, possessing unimaginable impact resistance. Its front can withstand the impact of a million-ton TNT explosion, and it is impervious to normal force.
[How to open]: Insert the key and enter the correct password to open.
[Upgrade Method 1]: Take Over: Change the sovereignty of the gate, write the host Su Mo as the sole owner of the gate's authority in the base's intelligent operating system, and grant him the authority to automatically open and close the gate. Requires Survival Points (3040).
[Upgrade Method Two]: Corrosion: The host's object is detected to have high corrosiveness, which can cause irreversible damage to the gate alloy. Collect enough (25kg) of this item and use it at the key connection of the gate to corrode it. Requires Survival Points (1985).
[Evaluation]: Its level of advancement exceeds your imagination!
"Holy crap, this is definitely the 1999 Expeditionary Force!"
"This isn't some kind of Cyberpunk Expeditionary Force, is it?!"
Looking at the attribute panel returned by the system, and after repeatedly confirming that the door could indeed withstand the impact of a million-ton explosive blast, Su Mo was stunned!
