Chapter 209 Mechanical Shark!
On the evening of the third day.
Qin Xiao returned to the villa, looking travel-worn.
He had been running for three days straight, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Zhang Yan poured him a glass of water.
"How is the situation?"
Qin Xiao gulped down most of a glass of water and shook his head.
There's nothing there.
"I contacted the biggest local bully in Donghai, checked the internal files of the Municipal Bureau, and even went to several mental hospitals."
"The storm has passed."
"There are no missing persons, no mass freaking, and even fewer cases of fighting and bloodshed than usual."
Qin Xiao pulled out a chair and sat down, his brows furrowed.
"Brother Yan, are you sure you're not mistaken? Xu didn't even come to the East Sea?"
Zhang Yan did not answer immediately.
He walked to the window and looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening.
The sea was churning with wind and clouds, and dark clouds were piling up on the horizon.
A storm is coming.
"It's too quiet," Zhang Yan said in a low voice.
"What?" Qin Xiao didn't hear clearly.
"The fact that there are fewer fights and brawls than usual in a megacity with a population of 20 million is itself the biggest abnormality."
Zhang Yan turned around, his eyes sharp.
"Xu did come."
"It's lying in wait."
"It is deliberately suppressing its polluting odor to avoid attracting our attention."
Qin Xiao's expression changed.
"Does it really have that high an IQ?"
"It absorbed Su Wanqing's memories and knowledge, and now it is more cunning than a human."
Zhang Yan walked to the table and tapped his fingers on the surface.
"It must be somewhere in the East China Sea, or it may even have already sunk to the bottom of the sea."
"We can't wait any longer."
Just then, Nie Qingcheng's phone rang.
She answered the phone, listened for a few minutes, and looked at Zhang Yan.
"The last batch of deep-sea memory metals has arrived."
"All materials have been stored in Warehouse No. 1."
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.
"Walk."
"Go to the warehouse."
It's time to put the chips on the table for the final battle.
Donghai No. 1 Warehouse.
This was originally a temperature-controlled warehouse used by the Qingcheng Group to store precision instruments.
It has now been completely cleared out, and the space, covering thousands of square meters, is filled with all kinds of top-quality materials that exude a metallic luster.
Outside the warehouse, two hundred retired special forces soldiers from Tianji Security, armed to the teeth, surrounded the area completely.
Not even a fly can get in.
Zhang Yan pushed open the heavy metal door and entered the warehouse.
Nie Qingcheng and Qin Xiao followed behind him.
"Wait for me outside." Zhang Yan took off his coat and casually tossed it onto the shelf next to him.
"No matter what noise you hear inside, you are not allowed to come in."
Qin Xiao nodded, pulled Nie Qingcheng out, and closed the door behind him.
The heavy metal door blocked all view.
Zhang Yan stood in the center of the warehouse, recalling the blueprints for the [Sea Devouring Shark] in his mind.
[God-level Mechanical Mastery] is activated instantly.
His eyes lost focus, entering a "godlike" state where everything was analyzed as data and three-dimensional models.
The structural diagrams of thousands of parts spun and combined wildly in his mind.
"start."
Zhang Yan made a move.
He walked up to the pile of high-strength, pressure-resistant titanium alloy and picked up a high-frequency plasma cutting machine.
A blue plasma flame shot out.
The hard titanium alloy was neatly sliced open under the flame, just like a hot knife cutting butter.
Zhang Yan's movements were incredibly fast; his hands even became afterimages.
Cutting, grinding, welding, and assembling.
Every movement was precise down to the micrometer level, without any unnecessary pauses.
Sparks flew everywhere in the dimly lit warehouse.
The deep-sea memory metal is shaped into a streamlined shell.
A dense network of superconducting nerve fibers is laid inside the body, connecting every transmission node.
The miniature nuclear fission reactor was precisely embedded in the core compartment.
Time passed by, second by second.
Zhang Yan was completely immersed in the fervor of creation.
Sweat soaked through his shirt, dripping down his chin onto the cold metal and evaporating instantly.
Six hours later.
The flame of the plasma cutter went out.
Zhang Yan threw down his tools and casually wiped the sweat from his face.
He took a few steps back and looked at the masterpiece before him.
In the center of the warehouse, a six-meter-long mechanical giant shark with a dark blue body lay quietly.
Its shape perfectly replicates the streamlined body of a great white shark, but every inch of its skin is made of top-grade metal.
Its dorsal fin is as sharp as a knife, gleaming with a cold, chilling light.
Its massive mouth was slightly open, revealing three rows of high-frequency vibrating cutting teeth inside, enough to easily crush the hull of a nuclear submarine.
On both sides of the abdomen are hidden the launch tubes of four supercavitating torpedoes.
The tail thruster adopts a biomimetic design, producing almost no noise or bubbles when swimming in water.
This is an ultimate weapon born purely for deep-sea slaughter.
"System, initiate self-test."
[Connecting to the Sea-Eating Shark's neural network...]
The core energy system is operating normally.
[Life support systems are functioning normally.]
[Weapon module loaded.]
[Self-check complete, Status: Perfect.]
The mechanical giant shark's tightly closed eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light.
It wiggled its massive tail fin slightly, producing a dull, teeth-grinding sound as metal scraped together.
Zhang Yan smiled with satisfaction.
He walked over and pressed the switch on the door.
The heavy metal door slid open slowly to both sides.
Nie Qingcheng and Qin Xiao, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately came to greet them.
"Brother Yan, all done..."
Qin Xiao's words were cut off before he could finish speaking.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the colossal mechanical beast in the center of the warehouse, which exuded a terrifying and oppressive aura.
"Holy crap..."
He could find no other words to describe the shock he felt.
He had witnessed the White Tiger's ferocity, the Black Scorpion's eeriness, and the Wind Spirit's agility.
But this mechanical shark evokes an extreme sense of fear originating from the deep sea and abyss.
Nie Qingcheng also gasped slightly.
Although she didn't understand mechanics, she could sense the destructive power contained within this cold machine.
"Is this the diving toy you were talking about?" Qin Xiao swallowed hard and walked around the mechanical shark.
He reached out to touch the row of sharp teeth.
"Don't touch it," Zhang Yan warned.
"Those are high-frequency oscillating teeth. Although they are in standby mode now, the molecular structure of their edges is extremely sharp and can easily cut off your finger."
Qin Xiao was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Brother Yan, just how deep can this thing dive?"
"Twelve thousand meters," Zhang Yan said calmly.
Qin Xiao gasped.
Twelve thousand meters, that's the depth of the Mariana Trench.
The most advanced nuclear submarines currently in use have a maximum diving depth of just over 1,000 meters.
"With it here, the underwater ruins of the East China Sea are our backyard." Zhang Yan patted the mechanical shark's hard shell.
He turned to look at Nie Qingcheng.
"Prepare a salvage boat; we'll set sail tonight."
Nie Qingcheng didn't ask why they were in such a hurry.
She knew that Zhang Yan must have his reasons for making that decision.
"The ship is already docked and ready to depart at any time."
Zhang Yan nodded.
He walked to the head of the mechanical shark and pressed a hidden button.
The shark's head slowly rose, revealing the spacious cockpit inside.
The cockpit is equipped with a state-of-the-art neural interface system and a panoramic deep-sea projection screen.
It is large enough to accommodate two people sitting side by side.
"Qin Xiao, you stay on the shore," Zhang Yan ordered.
"Why?!" Qin Xiao exclaimed anxiously. "Brother Yan, take me with you! I promise I won't hold you back!"
"Underwater combat is different from land combat. If you haven't received deep-sea stress training, your neural communication system will instantly overwhelm your brain."
Zhang Yan's tone left no room for argument.
"Moreover, someone needs to be on shore to provide support."
"If the Ruins are indeed lurking in the East China Sea, they are very likely to cause trouble on the shore after we go underwater."
"Take the people from the Heavenly Secrets Security Bureau and guard the dock."
"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without exception."
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, and although he was unwilling, he nodded heavily.
"clear."
Zhang Yan turned to look at Nie Qingcheng.
"Come with me."
Nie Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then a stunning smile appeared on her lips.
She walked toward the cockpit without hesitation.
"My pleasure."
Night falls.
A seemingly ordinary heavy salvage vessel sailed away from the private dock of the Qingcheng Group.
Heading towards that unknown sea in the depths of the East China Sea, we brave the waves and forge ahead.
The hunt in the deep sea has officially begun.
