Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

After regaining his senses, Fengdu hurriedly sat back in the driver's seat, pressing other switches while shouting, "Start the self-check program and tell me the injury report!"

"Self-check process has started and is expected to take three minutes..."

"checking……"

The image displayed on the main control panel also showed varying degrees of distortion.

Sometimes it turns into snowflakes, sometimes it turns into black and white.

As Fengdu manually performed the test, his brows gradually furrowed.

"how so!"

Yoshitsuji asked, "What's wrong?"

With his fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard, Fengdu replied, "The hardware of Dolphin 202 is not damaged much, but strangely, the software is damaged to varying degrees. Most programs are malfunctioning, some even displaying error codes, and the electronic components are also severely damaged."

"It feels like being hit by an electronic pulse."

Yoshitsuji frowned. "Is there any way to fix it?"

After thinking for a moment, Nanase Kaede replied, "I'll try to repair the main program. As long as the power system is fine, there's no need to format everything!"

As he spoke, he glanced at his chest, where a long, thumb-sized pendant hung.

They had anticipated the possibility of the system crashing, so their research group designed another operating system.

Simply format the original program on Dolphin 202 and replace it with the program on the USB drive.

However, that would take too long.

Fortunately, the impact was relatively small, and since the superconducting power was located at the tail, the electronic components were not significantly damaged.

chapter Five

"95% of the communication module is damaged..."

"The propulsion module is 12% damaged..."

"Radar detection is 86% damaged..."

"Oxygen supply impaired by 14%..."

"The voice control system is 24% damaged..."

As the AI ​​intermittently broadcasted the damage to Dolphin 202, Nanase Futari and Yoshitsuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, this guy can still move!"

Fengdu nodded with lingering fear. Although the self-rescue device greatly ensured their safety, the Dolphin 202 was still much more comfortable than the cramped space inside the device.

"Yes, Director Ji Gang, what should we do next? Should we just surface?" Feng Du asked.

With such a big thing that just happened, TPC must be in a panic.

However, it wasn't because of him, but because of Director Ji Gang.

After thinking for a moment, Yoshitsuji looked at the screen transmission display panel again.

The image above still features a simple line drawing of four giants, with a dark hole next to it.

"It's so dark here, it gives me a very uncomfortable feeling. Let's come back another time!" said Yoshitsuji Yoshitsuji.

He was a naval officer and had no interest in archaeology.

Now that this accident has happened, Dolphin 202 can no longer be tested, so going back is the best option.

"Okay, fine!"

Fengdu glanced at it and said helplessly.

However, we've already come this far on our long journey and located the ruins of R'lyeh, so there'll be plenty of time to come here in the future.

…………

Three minutes ago.

Inside the TPC Far East Headquarters Base, on the B87th floor.

Dr. Makino ate while watching the data transmitted back by Dolphin 202. So far, all the data is normal.

This made him unconsciously happy.

This feeling is like watching your own son enter the exam hall during the college entrance examination and achieve a high score.

It filled him with pride.

The other doctors were gathered around a makeshift table, excitedly discussing other ways to improve Dolphin 202.

Dr. Makino smiled as he listened to the wildly imaginative discussions.

"It's great to be young!"

As he spoke, he reached for a sip of water.

Suddenly, a red border appeared on the computer screen.

"Loss of contact with Dolphin 202..."

Makino didn't pay much attention; that's how underwater signal transmission works—it can be interrupted from time to time.

But the next second, another message appeared on the computer screen.

"Large-scale tremors detected on the Pacific seabed..."

As soon as the female voice rang out, the doctors present unconsciously gathered around.

Dr. Makino frowned slightly. "The bottom of the Pacific Ocean? What a coincidence!"

Then he said to the AI, "Display the location of the earthquake source!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a red dot appeared on the panel in front of everyone, appearing on a green line.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Dr. Maeda unconsciously swallowed. "How could this be?"

The epicenter was right in the path of Dolphin 202. Judging from the location information just returned by Dolphin 202, the epicenter was practically right next to its face.

Dr. Makino threw the water in his hand into the trash can and yelled at the computer, "Quickly check if the self-rescue device has been activated!"

"Self-rescue device number one activated! Self-rescue device number two activated!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Makino finally breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp, and he sat down directly.

"Phew... thank goodness..."

Since the self-rescue device has been activated, it proves that Nanase Futari and Yoshitsuji are currently safe.

Dr. Maeda snapped out of his daze and immediately dialed the GUTS team's office number.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

"This is the GUTS team..."

The voice coming through the receiver was very young, and sounded somewhat immature.

Dr. Maeda interrupted directly, saying, "I know, listen, our Dolphin 202 encountered an earthquake at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I want you to set off immediately. On board are Chief Yoshitsugu Yoshitsugu of the Police Department and Dr. Nanase Fudo! Time is of the essence."

On the other end of the phone, a very young man exclaimed, "What!"

However, he quickly suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice, "I understand!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Inside the Victory Team's command center, everyone looked at Nozue Hachimi with utter bewilderment.

"What's wrong?" asked Megumi.

Ye Rui stood up, glanced at Lina, and shouted, "The Dolphin 202 Laboratory just called, saying that Dolphin 202 is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and has encountered an underwater earthquake. Director Ji Gang and... and... Feng Du are on board. They have asked us to launch a rescue operation as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback. Nanase Rena rushed forward and anxiously asked, "You mean Kaede was also on that submarine?!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Nanase Rena felt a dizziness and almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, Daigo, who was behind her, reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from collapsing to the ground.

Kijima Megumi calmly said, "Command!"

Deputy Captain Zongfang immediately understood. He said, "Daigo, Rena, you two take Unit 1 and go to the scene of the incident to investigate. Shinjo and I will take Unit 2 and catch up with you once we have loaded the underwater rescue boat. Horii, you go to the laboratory on B87 and keep an eye on things and provide us with intelligence!"

His words were concise and powerful, and he quickly arranged everything perfectly for the person.

After listening, everyone immediately replied, "Understood!"

At this moment, Lina composed herself, grabbed her helmet, and rushed out.

Daigo felt his hand loosen, and the person in his arms had vanished. He glanced at the command room, nodded to the crowd, and then ran out quickly.

"Lina!"
