Chapter 490 - 490 The Roaring Kun
490 The Roaring Kun
“The old chief is psychologically stable. There aren’t any abnormal reactions in his body, and all data is normal,” Xu Wanqing reported to Wu Mo.
Wu Mo nodded. The old chief had completed his injection of Life Second. He believed that he would soon realize the huge changes that had happened to him.
As long as the old chief’s body was rejuvenated, he would have more energy to deal with the sea monster crisis!
Wu Mo told himself that this might be the time for his parents to be injected with Life Second.
There was no conflict between Life First and Life Second. Theoretically, one could inject Life Second about a month after receiving Life First.
Some questioned the value of Life First since Life Second was invented.
However, they had overlooked the fact that the production cost of Life Second was much higher.
Finally, the seventy-two hours of observation ended, and the old chief successfully walked out of the observation room.
When he appeared, everyone could not help but gasp!
“Oh, my God! Doesn’t the old chief look a little too young?” Xu Wanqing exclaimed.
At this moment, all the researchers saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, not the old chief they were familiar with!
The old chief turned around and looked at himself in the mirror. When he saw his reflection, he was stunned.
However, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
“Hahaha! As expected, I’ve become thirty years younger!”
The old chief’s laughter was loud and clear as it echoed throughout the entire institute.
Everyone could not help but laugh heartily.
Seeing this, Wu Mo felt gratified.
Even though a large number of experiments had proven that Life Second was relatively stable, everyone still felt nervous due to the old chief’s special status.
Now that they could confirm the absence of any abnormal reaction and the successful restoration of his youth, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Even Wu Mo had felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.
“It looks like Life Second is as stable as Life First. There’s no difference!”
The report from the front lines pointed out that there might be a phenomenon similar to a wormhole near the nest, and there was a terrifying monster lurking in it that could release invincible rays!
After he learned about this situation, the old chief instantly fell into deep thought.
He never thought that in the three days he was in the observation room, they would make such a major discovery!
“Oh, you’re saying that the beam shot by the one-eyed monster is similar to a beam from a high-density ray weapon? Plus, its strength is enough to instantly destroy a nuclear propulsion device?”
The old chief frowned and listened carefully to his subordinate’s analysis.
As everyone knew, due to the special nature of the submarine’s nuclear propulsion device, a strong protective cover had been added to its exterior.
If an attack could break through the protective shield and destroy the nuclear propulsion device, it was obviously powerful. Its destructive force was immeasurable.
“That’s right, Chief! This is a real-time video recording from the front line!”
After he watched the video repeatedly, the old chief was finally convinced that the monster had mutated.
In the past, monsters only used physical attacks, but now it was completely different.
“Old Chief, we have another speculation. Codenamed sea monsters like the Sea Monster King and the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider will likely appear in large numbers!” a burly military officer said with a solemn expression.
The entire meeting room fell silent. The old chief never expected such a huge change to happen in just three days.
“You mean there might be an army of sea monsters in the future, or even an army of demonic spiders?” the old general asked in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded silently. The truth was right before them, and they had to take it seriously.
“Wu Mo, what are your plans?”
The old chief began to seek Wu Mo’s opinion again.
He knew that Wu Mo would always find a way when there was trouble, and he believed that this time would be no exception.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and said, “Chief, we have to begin research on a sturdy submarine that can withstand the attack of sea monster rays. Then, we’ll have to go deep into the nest and determine whether there’s a wormhole or some other natural phenomenon.”
The old general nodded without hesitation. He immediately approved the project and gave it unconditional support. “If you need anything for your submarine research, just say the word.”
Receiving strong support from the old chief, the project was quickly launched.
Wu Mo needed some time to design this special nuclear-powered submarine.
Even though it was also a nuclear-powered submarine, it would have to give up its offensive power and only retain some basic navigational functions. Most of the budget would be invested in the shell’s protection.
This meant that its speed would increase, and its defense would far exceed that of a conventional submarine.
After all, if it could not withstand the terrifying rays of a sea monster, the submarine would disintegrate in the deep sea!
Only a submarine with strengthened defense could explore the secrets in the nest while it was attacked by sea monsters.
Wu Mo named the submarine the Roaring Kun.
In ancient times, there was a giant fish called Kun. It was so huge that it could swim across millions of kilometers at a time.
The Kun was also a divine fish in Chinese mythology. Wu Mo named the submarine after a divine fish because he had high hopes for it.
The Roaring Kun was being built at the port’s main test base, and a large number of researchers guarded it 24/7.
They found Wu Mo’s design methods to be unique, and they were amazed by his one-of-a-kind ideas.
They were unconstrained, and Wu Mo had his own views on the construction of each complex component.
At first glance, professional engineers would frown and find his approach impractical.
However, once all the components were manufactured and placed before them, everyone was enlightened, and their horizons were broadened.
“Oh, my God, Chief Engineer Wu’s design is extraordinary. He’s a genius!”
Even though they knew that Wu Mo was the best in the world in terms of military designs, they were still shocked to see his process up close.
Wu Mo had meticulously built the Roaring Kun according to the system’s design.
The moment the red cloth was removed, everyone was stunned!
“Heavens, it’s a divine fish! It truly is reminiscent of a divine fish that’s about to break out of the water and fly!”
For some reason, the submarine gave off such a feeling.
Its shape had influences of modern sci-fi, and its overall streamlined shape resembled the back fin of a fish. It possessed dynamic scientific aesthetics and a mechanical beauty.
The submarine looked like a big fish from afar that was about to dash across the sea and move forth with courage!
When the Roaring Kun entered the water to carry out its mission, everyone was filled with anticipation.
Before long, the Roaring Kun’s speed surprised everyone again!
“Oh, my goodness! What terrifying speed!”
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, the Roaring Kun was like an immortal fish that had descended from heaven. It was much faster than expected, and it dived to a depth of three thousand meters in a short time.
The scene made everyone’s blood boil. Even the old chief’s mouth was wide open in surprise.
“The Roaring Kun is indeed a divine fish!”
The old chief laughed heartily. He was in a good mood, and the heaviness that had plagued him for many days was swept away.
The Roaring Kun remained extremely fast as it continued to dive to the bottom of the sea.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached a depth of four thousand meters, and it did not slow down at all.
At this point, everyone started to feel a little nervous.
If it came into contact with a sea monster, should the Roaring Kun continue to dive or surface?
