Chapter 369 Invisible Creeps in Seawater

In one day, the stationmaster made ninety-four round trips and received all the core leaders to the submarine base.

At first he was able to bring back two people at once, but soon he could only come one by one, and then the speed became slower and slower. In the last ten round trips, he had to lie on the ground panting for a long time before he could get up.

When the last person was picked up, the stationmaster let out a sigh of relief and immediately fell unconscious. Aburame Tetsumaru hurriedly summoned a few work bugs to send him into the treatment cabin.

The spacecraft that completed its mission quietly retreated, and Aburame Tetsumaru cut off contact with the main base and began to fight independently.

He assigned numerous construction tasks to paratroopers and young core leaders, and worked hard to exploit the resources on the seabed.

In view of the inability to increase the production of organic matter in the deep sea, as well as the abundant resources of manganese nodules on the seabed and metal resources in volcanoes, Aburame Tetsumaru temporarily changed the design of the insect swarm.

He used a large amount of metal materials to make part of the insect's body, thereby reducing the insect's demand for organic resources and tripling the production speed of the insect colony.

The structure of the newly expanded deep-sea mother nest has been greatly simplified, and all unnecessary parts have been eliminated. As a result, the newly appeared mother nest no longer has a complete appearance and looks like a hollow.

One side is expanding towards the deep sea, and the other side is spreading towards the shallow sea, actively advancing towards the islands and continents in the ocean.

When the mother nest was established on the continental shelf at a depth of 600 meters, new trends were discovered by the Six-String Star Omnic, and drone bombings and space-based weapon attacks followed one after another.

Aburame Tetsumaru was well prepared for this. Insufficient energy production prevented him from deploying the electromagnetic water film shield, but there was still no problem with magnetizing seawater.

When a metal weapon enters magnetized seawater, it will cut the magnetic field and generate an electric current. The explosive in the weapon will be detonated in advance due to the electric shock.

Depth bombs with relatively good electromagnetic protection can only slowly descend at a speed of five to ten centimeters per second due to the huge resistance generated by electromagnetic induction, and are then easily destroyed by the sonic tower of the brood.

More powerful space-based weapons are also unable to penetrate 600 meters of magnetized seawater. Even a tungsten rod reaching a speed of 30 kilometers per second can only penetrate more than 160 meters, and then sink at a slow speed.

As a "god retarded" type weapon, this thing is a mass bomb. It loses its power after losing speed. Metal tungsten with such a high purity is a rare and precious resource, and there is no problem in using it directly.

After this battle, Aburame Tetsumaru felt the attack depth of the Six String Star, and then he continued to expand towards shallower seas, until he reached the shallow sea with a water depth of only three hundred meters.

During this period, Liuxianxing persisted in launching attacks in various ways, and even ancient cavitation torpedoes were taken out.

Not to mention, after the cavitation torpedo was suddenly used, it really caught the oil woman Tetsumaru off guard, and he lost two hollow brood nests.

However, the cavitation torpedo is not an invincible weapon. It can only blow a large number of bubbles in front of the fish, so that the torpedo actually travels through the bubbles.

The cavitation not only eliminates the resistance of the water, but also causes the magnetic force in the seawater to be disordered and cannot form stable electromagnetic resistance. The torpedo using a rocket engine can therefore reach the speed of a propeller aircraft.

The biggest enemy of cavitation torpedoes is the lateral impact, because the bubbles are blown forward and the sides have no corresponding capabilities. Once impacted, the torpedo will turn and lose its target.

The centrifugal force generated during a rapid turn will test the torpedo's sturdiness, not to mention that it will inevitably hit the seawater without blowing bubbles after the turn.

A torpedo that was as fast as an airplane hit the sea water, and was destroyed by the violent impact just like an airplane that hit the sea.

Aburame Tetsumaru added a super magnetic field generator to the mother's nest, using a series of magnetic field generators to allow the magnetized seawater to flow, forming an artificial undercurrent.

When the cavitation torpedo enters the undercurrent, it will be impacted and turned by the lateral sea current, and then it will hit the water on the side, and then start to roll violently. For up to two turns, the torpedo will break into several sections, and the various internal parts will Scattered everywhere.

In the next ten days, Liuxianxing tried to release highly toxic, large-scale quicklime, salt and other substances in an attempt to curb the expansion of the mother nest by changing the properties of local seawater, but it obviously failed.

When a brand new surface fleet came to this area, Aburame Tetsumaru became excited. When your plane is high above, I can't do anything to you, but can I let go of the ships floating on the water?

The arrival of this fleet is an attempt to build a large electromagnetic generating device to compete with the mother nest for control of the magnetized seawater.

If you can successfully establish your own magnetic field system, you can accelerate and decelerate the currents in the entire sea area, and the insect swarm will not be able to develop with peace of mind.

As night came, Aburame Tetsumaru's counterattack also followed. He did not mobilize a large swarm of insects at all, but commanded five Pompeii insects entrenched in the deep sea to dispatch.

These five Pompeii worms each carried a mushroom worm on their backs and slowly rose to a depth of about a hundred meters close to the sea surface.

The Pompeii worms coordinated their positions with each other. The four on the periphery formed a square with a side length of two kilometers, framing the entire fleet. The Pompeii worm in the center moved slightly upward, and then the five mushroom worms detonated at the same time.

Five huge white mushroom clouds stood on the sea. The entire sea was rough, but there was no sign of a ship anymore. Since then, the Six-String Star Omnic has never built any surface ships.

The next day, hundreds of nuclear bombs were dropped on the star ring in retaliation, creating hundreds of huge mushroom clouds on the sea, but it was of no concern to the insect swarms hiding in the deep sea. The mother nest with a depth of more than two thousand meters was even more dangerous. I didn't feel anything unusual.

In response, Aburame Tetsumaru launched more than two thousand Bomb Locusts to counterattack the orbiting star ring, but they were all shot down by the enemy.

Aburame Tetsumaru had an unlucky look on his face: "It is true that the power to control the sky is not that easy to break. I am afraid that millions of migratory locusts must be released at the same time to break through the enemy's defense limit. This exchange ratio is too bad."

The webmaster was already very happy. Aburame Tetsumaru was worthy of being the leader of civilization, and this move was much stronger than his own.

Unexpectedly, relying on the existing troops and the nest, they successfully turned from defense to offense, firmly grasping the initiative in their hands, and leading the omnic by the nose.

During these six days, we fought back and forth with the enemy, which gave the webmaster, Gray Bones, Uchiha Sanae, Hatake Sakumo and the core leaders some time to settle down. The construction of the undersea brood expanded rapidly. , which is ten times greater than what the previous webmaster achieved in two months.

But the most annoying thing about mechanical intelligence is that they really won't give up. They fight repeatedly with Aburame Tetsumaru's insect swarms in the sea less than a thousand meters deep. If the attack doesn't go smoothly, they keep dropping all kinds of strange things, especially Some kind of floc of carbon molecules.

This kind of floc is non-toxic, but it can greatly increase the viscosity of seawater, causing the light transmittance of seawater to decrease, turning a hundred meters of the seabed into a complete lightless area. The fungus blanket laid in the shallow sea area has become useless.

Due to the lack of photosynthesis, the production of organic matter is extremely low, which has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of insect colonies.

On the fifteenth day, the Six-String Star Omnic discovered this situation. They stopped releasing the floc, and instead produced a large number of black ocean balls, which were released on a large scale in shallow seas. These ocean balls floated on the ocean, blocking out light. More efficient than floc.

Moreover, ocean balls are more difficult to clean because they float on the sea. Unlike floc, which can be cleaned through filtration in deeper water, octopus worms can only clean up these nasty ocean balls by rising to the surface. .

The cleanup process inevitably exposes itself to precision bombing from drones.

And although the ocean balls are not big in size, they are round and difficult to handle. They must be flattened one by one before they can be chopped and compressed. The process is quite troublesome.

An octopus can clean up to several hundred ocean balls before it is killed.

Although the production cost of an octopus worm is not high, the cost of producing hundreds of ocean balls is even lower, making such an exchange very uneconomical.

Aburame Tetsumaru commissioned Gray Bones to develop a bacteria that used the material of the ocean ball as food, and the efficiency of cleaning the ocean ball was immediately satisfactory.

A few hours later, the material of the ocean ball produced by the omnic was fine-tuned, and there was an extra layer of film on the surface that bacteria could not eat.

The two sides launched an all-round confrontation around ocean lighting. As a result, the omnic side had the advantage, making it impossible to solve the organic matter production gap of the insect swarm, thus suppressing the expansion speed of the insect swarm.

Of course, no matter how large the production of ocean balls is, it will have no effect in the rough deep sea, because the waves will destroy these light and fluttering balls, and the strong ocean currents will drive the ocean balls to a certain place to accumulate, instead of letting them level out. Spread to the entire sea surface.

But the deep sea itself is enough to block all sunlight, and Aburame Tetsumaru cannot take advantage of this vast unobstructed sea area.

Until one day, Uchiha Sanae found Aburame Tetsumaruna and showed him a test tube filled with green algae.

Aburame Tetsumaru knew that the direction Sanae was responsible for was the deep sea trench, and she should not get this kind of sea surface algae, so he asked: "Sanae, where did you get it?"

Sanae pointed in the direction she was responsible for and replied: "It was scraped off the shell of the mother's nest, and I found it accidentally."

Aburame Tetsumaru took the test tube and easily confirmed through insight that it was indeed green algae. He praised the Uchiha girl loudly: "Excellent, Sanae, you have helped me a lot."

Uchiha Sanae was wearing a vest, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her giggles could still let people know how happy she was.

"Aburame-senpai, can I ask for a reward?"

"No problem, just say whatever you want."

"Ah, great. When launching an attack, please let me be the vanguard and be the first to attack!"

"What? You've only been working for a few days and you're already impatient?"

"Well..., I'm not bothered! I, I just want to fight, yes, that's it. I haven't had a happy fight for a long time."

"Okay, okay, I agree to your request."

After sending Uchiha Sanae away, Aburame Tetsumaru began to investigate the source of the seaweed.

Green algae on the sea surface appeared in the deep sea, which had never existed before. It could only be because the sea currents created by the electromagnetic field caused the up and down convection of sea water, bringing the green algae down on the sea surface.

It didn't take much time for Aburame Tetsumaru to find the downward current. This kind of waterfall in the sea is a submerged belt that is more than 100 kilometers long.

Because it stirred the underwater ocean currents, it brought about a strong reverse surface ocean current. When this cold water ocean current encountered another warm ocean current with low salt content, it was squeezed into a downward ocean current waterfall.

At the same time, he also found an ascending ocean current at an undersea mountain range thousands of kilometers away. This is the ocean current that forms up and down convection.

Aburame Tetsumaru breathed a sigh of relief. With this ocean current, he could filter seaweed from the ocean and obtain organic matter. Although the amount could not fully meet his needs, it would ultimately be a large resource supplement and limit his bottleneck. Loose a little faster.

Just when Aburame Tetsumaru was leading a group of young people to add filtering organs to the hollowed-out nest, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

[Why should I filter this low-efficiency seaweed filter? Why does the bacterial blanket have to be one layer? 】

The fungus blanket is originally a conglomerate composed of a variety of fungi. It didn't take much effort to transform it into a fungus mass invisible to the naked eye, and then released it into the seawater on a large scale, allowing these invisible fungi to flow smoothly. Drifting away on the ocean current.

The seawater mixed with carpet fungi reaches the sea surface through rising ocean currents, fully receives sunlight, reproduces rapidly and uses photosynthesis to create organic matter, and then returns to the seabed through the sea waterfall, returning to the released mother 45 days later. Nest here.

The controllability of the carpet is much easier than that of green algae. Younu Iron Pill can easily separate a large amount of organic matter and energy from the fungus in the carpet.

A carpet of bacteria dissolved in seawater spanning thousands of kilometers appeared. This ocean was the new carpet of bacteria, and the bottleneck that restricted the development of the insect colony was finally broken through.

What followed was an explosive expansion of the insect swarm. The mother nests were like mushrooms after the rain, spreading all over the ocean, and large-scale insects were produced.

The abundance of energy causes more and more seawater to be magnetized, and the number of magnetized water electromagnetic rail gun buildings and electromagnetic water film protective shield generating buildings is constantly increasing.

The deep-sea area, which occupies nearly 40% of the area of ​​Six String Star, is rapidly being weaponized, and the conditions for controlling the planet to launch a counterattack are initially in place.

Before a large-scale counterattack, Aburame Tetsumaru launched a series of tentative attacks.

In addition to constantly launching third-generation high-speed explosive locusts into space, he also sent swarms of insects to land on some islands and continents to test the reaction of omnics.

The insect swarm that landed on the island was simply bombed by the air force. When the insect swarm retreated, they chased them all the way to a depth of three hundred meters and stopped attacking.

But the swarm of insects trying to land on the mainland seemed to have stung a hornet's nest, causing an unprecedented violent reaction from the six-stringed star omnic.

Space-based bombing, air-drop bombing, space-based laser irradiation, and even the most unsuitable god's mental retardation were all thrown away. All six insect swarms were wiped out in the shallow sea, and not a single insect could touch the coast.

Aburame Tetsumaru was stunned. He couldn't understand the enemy's violent reaction. It was illogical. He asked the stationmaster: "What is on the land? What makes the omnics of the Six-string Star so nervous?"
