From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 337 Undersea Civilization
The fifth-day mission report of the Qianlong Special Forces was sent back, and the deep-sea team has found a crack in the seabed.

The density of abyss monsters increased near the seabed rifts, and a fierce battle broke out between the special forces and the abyss monsters.

There were even large abyss monsters about fifty or sixty meters long that appeared and crashed into the frigate on the mission, causing a large dent.

In the end, the special forces fought on the sea for nearly an hour and killed this large abyss monster.

Since the special forces found the seabed rift, the theater command called Lu Heng immediately, hoping to go over and participate in the combat deployment.

After finding the seabed rift, the next step is to destroy it, but the rift is located in the deep sea, so a complete action plan needs to be formulated.

When Lu Heng arrived at the Southern Theater Command, officers and staff at all levels were already discussing the action plan.

Seeing Lu Heng coming in, Li Guining waved his hand and asked his adjutant to add a chair next to him.

After sitting down, staff officer Qi Jinghui pushed a notebook in front of Lu Heng and introduced: "This is the picture taken by the deep-sea team on the seabed. According to the data sent back, the crack is located 1200 meters underwater, which is very deep."

Lu Heng looked at the scenes in the video, which were similar to what he remembered.

In the picture, the seabed is pitch black, and only the lighting equipment brought by the deep-sea team provides light.

Afterwards, a member of the deep-sea team used his lighting skills to illuminate the surroundings, making the video much clearer.

In the video, you can vaguely see a two-meter-long area with bubbles gushing out.

The bubbles spread upwards and made the sea water turbid.

As the bubbles gushed out, sea water was sucked into the cracks, making gurgling sounds, as if a giant beast was swallowing the sea water.

The Abyssal Fissure does suck away seawater as it spreads the fog.

Not only sea water, but also air will flow into the abyss world through the cracks.

However, compared to the total amount of seawater and air on Blue Star, the swallowing speed of the abyss rift is not fast. It will take a very long time to dry up the seawater on Blue Star.

Therefore, the loss of seawater is not something that needs to be worried about in this era.

The real threat is the fog that permeates from the cracks, which will continue to compress human living space.

After watching the video, Lu Heng looked at the report sent back by the special forces. There was no problem with the data. All they needed to do was to formulate an action plan and destroy the rift. Then the mission would be a success.

The staff involved in the discussion have already come up with several options and are now discussing which option to choose and how to optimize it.

There are usually two ways to destroy the abyss rift. One is to use space-related abilities to close the rift.

For example, Lu Heng's second-level source ability [Rift Slash] can cut through the rift.

However, currently no one in the special forces team has the spatial ability to destroy the abyss rift, so they can only use other methods.

If you don't have space-related abilities, you can mainly destroy the rifts through blasting.

To destroy the rift, the explosion required would be extremely powerful, at least at the level of a nuclear bomb.

Moreover, different media require different explosion powers.

Relatively speaking, the higher the mass density of the medium, the higher the critical value of the required explosion power.

In a vacuum, since there is no medium present, the required explosion threshold is the lowest.

The mass density of water is much higher than that of air, and the required explosion critical value is almost the highest among common media.

Regarding the critical explosion value that destroys cracks, Daxia Academy of Sciences has conducted relevant research and obtained the critical values ​​in various common media.

However, since the conditions required for the study are too harsh, the numerical samples obtained are relatively small.

To achieve the ideal blasting effect, it is often necessary to be much higher than the critical value.

The plan currently being discussed by the theater command is to use nuclear bombs to blow up the abyss rift, but the specific blasting plan to be used is still under discussion.

Because the medium is seawater and the diameter of the crack is more than two meters, the calculated nuclear bomb equivalent is a bit large.

Due to the existence of abyss monsters, the release of nuclear bombs needs to be the responsibility of marine warriors.

The nuclear bomb explosion poses a huge threat to the marine warriors who deliver the nuclear bomb.

Now the command hopes to find a way to ensure the safety of marines.

After listening to the discussion of the officers and staff present, Lu Heng coughed and said, "I have another plan. Let's listen to it."

This sentence made everyone present quiet down and cast inquiring glances at them.

In fact, Lu Heng could rush over now and use the Rift Slash to destroy the Abyss Rift.

However, the diameter of this crack on the seabed is more than two meters. It is not easy to completely destroy it. It requires multiple strikes and consumes a huge amount of source energy.

Moreover, this is the mission of the special forces.

Lu Heng hopes that the special forces will have the ability to carry out tasks independently, rather than having to solve problems on their own every time.

In addition, it is also a signal to the top military officials to train special forces with spatial abilities as soon as possible.

Therefore, Lu Heng planned to provide another solution to the special operations team, so he opened the special operations team's information, confirmed the combat power data of several key soldiers, and then said:

“I have seen the capabilities of several special forces soldiers, and they can actually change the medium from seawater to air, which would reduce the required equivalent to one-tenth.

"We can combine Jiang Shaoran's [Tidecaller] ability with Jian Qing's wind control ability and the abilities of several other team members to create a vortex that goes straight to the bottom of the sea and form an air environment. Then Chen Zihang can drop a nuclear bomb into the designated location and detonate it."

After discussion among the staff, they believed that this plan had a chance of success, but it would require very high abilities from Jian Qing and Jiang Shaoran.

Lu Heng has confidence in Jian Qing's ability, so he is sure that this plan will succeed.

After exchanging views with several senior staff officers, Li Guining made a decision to implement the plan proposed by Lu Heng.

After the plan was optimized, orders were issued to the special forces forward.

The next step is to wait for the post-action report.

The battle plan had been arranged. Li Guining stood up, patted Lu Heng on the shoulder, and walked out.

Lu Heng got up and followed him to the office next door, where they sat on the sofa and drank tea.

After Li Guining's adjutant served the tea, he left the room and closed the door.

"The special forces team completed the mission beautifully this time. It took only five days to find the location of the rift." Li Guining praised first.

After all, the Malacca Channel fog crisis has lasted intermittently for half a year. Many developed countries, including the White Eagle Federation, are unable to clear the fog, and cannot even find the crack point.

The deep-sea team of the special operations team found the crack point in just five days, which was already half successful. "We still have to wait for the final results, and it can't be considered a completed mission." Although Lu Heng had confidence in the special operations team, he still felt that they should be more rigorous.

"As long as we find the crack point, destroying the crack is just a matter of time. If we fail once, we can try a few more times." Li Guining was not worried about this.

As long as we can resolve this fog crisis, using a few more nuclear bombs won’t matter.

Moreover, after resolving this crisis, the Southern Theater will build a military port in the Andaman Sea.

In the future, Daxia will be able to take control of the most important waterway on the blue planet.

After this deep sea fog mission, Li Guining has seen the importance of marine warriors.

If Lu Heng had not personally trained such a deep-sea team, even if the special forces were dispatched, it would be difficult to find the cracks on the seabed.

After all, ordinary marine warriors, without skill upgrades, can only reach the speed of a dolphin at best even if they have underwater acceleration skills. If they dive into the seabed, they will be treated as snacks by the abyss monsters in the water.

It is precisely because this deep-sea team has Lu Heng's support that they can form underwater combat power in just a few days.

Therefore, Li Guining has been thinking about a question these days: "Lu Heng, do you think we should vigorously cultivate marine-type supernatural warriors?"

When he said about vigorously training marine-type warriors with special abilities, he didn't mean dozens or hundreds of people, but to form a deep-sea fleet.

After listening to his question, Lu Heng replied after two seconds: "I think it needs to be cultivated vigorously. No matter how much resources are allocated, it is not too much. At this stage, the number of marine warriors is too small. If there is no allocation of resources, it will be difficult to cultivate a large number of marine warriors."

The starting point of the ocean-based enhancement route is too difficult, and you need two skills, [Underwater Breathing] and [Water Flow Acceleration], to get started.

Of course, other skills with similar effects are possible, but that's not the point.

Since the prices of ocean-related skills are generally not high, it is not difficult to buy this type of crystal core, but the difficult part is the skill slot.

You will need to use up two skill slots to get started, and these two skills will have zero combat effectiveness after being put ashore.

In other words, if you want to become a powerful marine-type supernatural warrior, three initial skill slots are not enough. You need to start with four skill slots to form a certain underwater combat capability in the early stage.

However, for a psychic to have four initial skill slots is already a top qualification. If he takes other strengthening routes, he has the hope of becoming a top psychic. Who would give up this advantage and run into the water to be a shrimp soldier?
Therefore, without allocating a large amount of resources, few psychics would be willing to take the marine enhancement route.

The reason why Li Guining talked about this with Lu Heng was to discuss the future prospects of marine warriors and then decide how much resources to invest.

It is definitely necessary to tilt resources, but there needs to be a scale for how much to tilt.

It is this scale that Li Guining wants to discuss: "What scale do you think the training of marine warriors should reach?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "The more the better."

Li Guining was a little surprised to hear this answer.

The more the merrier, the more the better.

However, humans are land creatures after all, and the training of marine warriors should not be to the extent that the more the better.

Lu Heng's answer was not just a joke, but he really believed that the more marine warriors were trained, the better.

Because there is extra information in the memory.

The events that influenced the future of the ocean-based supernatural warriors began in June of the second year after the Abyss came. From this period on, the role of the ocean-based supernatural warriors will become increasingly important in the future.

Because... there will be an underwater civilization.

That’s right, in Lu Heng’s memory after rebirth, he clearly knew that there would be an underwater civilization. It was a civilization as magical as Atlantis, an underwater world.

This underwater civilization first appeared in June of the second year after the abyss descended.

However, when the underwater civilization first appeared, it did not immediately attract human attention. Instead, as the underwater abyss battlefields appeared more and more frequently and the role of marine psychics became increasingly important, it gradually gained the attention of various countries.

It is for this reason that Lu Heng said that the more marine-type supernatural warriors are trained, the better.

No matter how many marine warriors are trained, there will always be a place for them to play a role.

Moreover, the recruitment for the Abyss Battlefield will be based on the abilities of the psychics themselves.

This is the case with Yuan Yaoyao. Because of her Mechanical Heart route, she has been recruited to the Sykes civilization many times.

When the underwater civilization emerges, the recruitment of people from the underwater world will mainly focus on those with marine abilities.

Of course, it's just a preference based on ability, not that other types of skills are not recruited at all.

All this information was in Lu Heng's mind, but he couldn't tell Li Guining clearly.

After thinking carefully, Li Guining asked, "You value marine warriors very much. Is there any special reason?"

Lu Heng smiled and replied, "Because when I was in the Quel'dorei world, I heard some information from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge that there was an underwater civilization and the elves were once recruited to an underwater world.

“Since the elves will be recruited to the underwater world, humans may also be recruited there.

“At that time, the value of marine warriors will be revealed.

"Before other countries start to pay attention to marine warriors, we should train enough marine warriors first so that we can build up system power in the underwater world in advance."

After hearing this, Li Guining's eyes lit up.

He knew very well that if the information Lu Heng said was true, it meant that once the underwater world appeared, the marine warriors would play a vital role.

Instead of waiting until that time to train marine warriors, it is better to start training now.

After thinking carefully, Li Guining nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. We should indeed start the training program for marine warriors."

The memory information of Lu Heng's rebirth, when pressed on the ancient tree of knowledge, not only revealed important information, but also perfectly explained the source of the information.

As for whether this statement will be seen through, it is basically impossible.

To debunk this claim, one cannot simply summon them to the elf world.

First, you have to enter the Moonshadow Forest and gain the recognition of the forest elder Seren. Then you have to enter the ancient tree space and gain the recognition of the ancient tree of knowledge. The ancient tree of knowledge must also be willing to cooperate with the interrogation.

Among humans, there is only one person who can see the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and that is Su Muyu who possesses the [Vine of Life].

Except for Su Muyu, no one else could even see the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, let alone ask questions to it.

Just as Lu Heng was thinking about these questions, a message suddenly popped up in front of him. When he looked closely, he was stunned.

[Abyss Battlefield: 7 days left to recruit.]

Then, there was a knock on the door, and Li Guining's adjutant reported outside: "Commander, the special operations team successfully destroyed the rift point on the seabed. In addition, a message was sent back that six people in the deep-sea team have been recruited."
