To make it easier for the Biology Research Institute to research mutants, Jiang Chen ordered Xu Lu to set up a mutant shelter outside of camp 27 to house the captured test subjects. It would make it easier for the researchers to conduct genetic modification and breeding experiments. As to the capture of mutants, Jiang Chen left it to the Hunter Division.
With the cooperation of the Type-51 helicopter and the power armor, other than capturing Death Claws, it wouldn't be difficult to capture other mutants.
All experiments would be conducted outside of the wall. Any mutants that escaped would be directly killed by the machine guns and electromagnetic cannons on the wall. This way, uncontrollable events could be avoided.
After giving these instructions, Jiang Chen took the helicopter back to the Fishbone base.
After returning to the base, Jiang Chen took a trip to the warehouse and threw the T-3 power armor, kinetic skeleton, and Reaper Rifle into the storage dimension. After the storage dimension was reset, the only thing left in the three hundred cubic meter space was the laser sword. The emptiness didn't make people feel safe.
The plan to enter the city center would need to wait for some time before they could proceed. Whether it was the developing cluster rocket or the ammunition storage, they all needed to be replenished.
Especially since the crystals on the ground were waiting for people to pick up the corpses.
Therefore, after Jiang Chen and Han Junhua discussed, they decided to attack the city center in the middle of September.
The reproduction cycle of creatures wasn't short. After the massacre, even if they rested for a month, the number of mutants and zombies wouldn't increase by much.
Seeing that there was nothing he could help with, Jiang Chen returned to the modern world.
The twenty day time limit was almost up. He couldn't wait to see the results of the construction robot. The sooner the mining was done, the sooner Future Mining could start production, and the sooner the virtual reality helmet could be produced.
After leaving the mansion on Coro Island, Jiang Chen went to the phone store on the way. While he applied for a new phone card, he also bought a new phone.
Although Yao Yao was helping him DIY a new phone, it was better to buy a phone before that. In this information age, it was as inconvenient as a caveman without a phone.
After taking care of these troublesome matters, Jiang Chen drove the boat to Coconut Island alone. Just as he approached the island, he noticed from afar that the dock built on the shore was already completed.
The main body of the building was made of concrete walls, and the top was covered by a metal roof. Inside, there was a concave water tank. In terms of scale, compared to those dry docks that were hundreds of meters long, this small dock could only be described as pocket-sized.
Although it was a little pocket-sized, the structure of a dock was still very comprehensive. And if there was a need in the future, he could expand it further, right?
He towed the boat ashore and first walked to the material storage area.
The two Engineering Robots were on standby next to the material point. After completing the construction task, they would automatically enter hibernation mode.
The steel bars, anticorrosive cement, sand, and other building materials needed for the construction had almost been used up. The construction explosives used to blow up the reef were almost used up as well. Six fuel rods used as batteries had been used up. After he recycled the remaining building materials into the storage dimension, he once again walked to the drone terminal in the jungle.
The honeycomb-shaped drone terminal sat there quietly. Most of the drones were on standby, and a few were cruising along the beach outside the jungle.
He connected the data line directly to the EP and checked the drone's reconnaissance record. After he confirmed that no one was near the island, he unplugged the data line and walked to the dock.
He opened the door and saw the deep-sea submersible floating on the water.
The length, width, and height were nine meters, three meters, and four meters respectively. The water droplet-shaped body was smooth and flat.
The back end was embedded with a "T" structure. The water inlets at both ends continuously sent water into the engine to boost the pressure, and at the same time, the water nozzle at the back could spray high-pressure water. The water pressure difference produced by the slanted shell at the back, and with the water nozzle at the back, the speed of the submersible was superior to all submarines in the modern world.
The front of the "water droplet" was equipped with two pairs of mechanical arms that could be used for construction in the deep sea environment. The eight-meter long cylinder hanging at the bottom was the mining module. These things were already assembled by the Engineering Robots and could be operated with power.
The energy consumption of the submersible was electricity. The energy slot could be inserted with a 100mm diameter nuclear fusion battery. But because there was no nuclear material, the water droplet used crystal fuel rods.
The submersible was equipped with a molten salt electrolytic carbon dioxide reduction device. In theory, as long as there was enough electricity, the submersible could maintain a normal oxygen supply.
Jiang Chen jumped to the top of the "water droplet" and felt the shaking under his feet. He carefully squatted down and felt a camera-like device at the top.
He moved his eyes closer and said in an undertone.
"Activate."
"Iris verification passed. Welcome, Captain."
One meter in front of Jiang Chen, a gap slowly opened and revealed a path to the inside of the cabin.
He took a look and after confirming it was safe, he jumped in.
"Transparent? No … it should be some kind of imaging function. "
After entering the cabin, Jiang Chen looked around in shock.
It was hard to imagine that from the inside to the outside, it looked transparent.
[Wide angle imaging?]
Through the multiple full-angle cameras hidden on the outside of the submersible, the image of the outside world was displayed on the screen inside the cabin. Standing inside the submersible was like being inside a giant transparent bubble.
After he exclaimed at the spectacular scene, Jiang Chen passed through a narrow door and directly entered the cockpit. He sat in the captain's seat at the front.
Most of the parts of the submersible were 3D printed and cost up to five hundred thousand crystals. But when he saw everything inside, Jiang Chen didn't think it was expensive at all.
"Captain, please name the submersible." A courteous electronic voice reminded Jiang Chen of what to do.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Water droplet number one."
Because it looked like a water droplet, he would call it Water Droplet.
"Okay, Water Droplet at your service. Captain, please follow the operating instructions …"
Without complicated buttons, with the help of basic artificial intelligence, even one person could operate the equipment that required multiple people. There were two joysticks on the captain's seat. One controlled the XY axis and the other controlled the Z axis. Next to it was a water gate and a series of status indicators.
Other than manual operation, it could also be automated. Based on the map in the deep sea submersible's memory, the captain could issue navigation commands through the tablet or voice.
After Jiang Chen familiarized himself with the controls, he immediately issued the command to go out to sea.
He only heard the faint sound of water behind him as the entire submersible began to speed towards the vast sea outside the dock. Needless to say, this was much more interesting than a speedboat. One wave after another came crashing over. Although they hit the outer shell of the Droplet, because the bulkhead was transparent, the waves looked like they were hitting a person.
This feeling was like surfing.
Jiang Chen looked at the waves flying around him as he ordered again.
"Dive, 100 meters."
"Roger."
The moment the electronic voice sounded, the Water Droplet suddenly sank. As if the head was submerged in water, the sound of the waves instantly disappeared.
Jiang Chen paid attention to the indicator beside him as the symbol that marked the depth continued to jump before it finally stopped at 100 meters.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement as he set the coordinates of Future Mining's offshore mining platform on the tablet and keyed in the parameters of .
Then, he took a deep breath as his tone carried a hint of excitement.
"Water Droplet, set sail!"
"Roger, captain."
The Water Droplet sped towards the deep blue sea.
