National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

He was dazed, but his mind was still working.

Klaus, holding Xiao Jiu and her nose, said seriously, "If we put it back directly, the airtightness can't be guaranteed, and it might leak when diving..."

"otherwise......"

He pulled a wrench from his toolbox. "Shall I chamfer it first?"

"..."

Ren Yi's face was full of unspeakable emotions, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Is this thing... real candy or just made of candy?

You're an engineer, not a plastic surgeon. Are you really planning to give a fish a cosmetic procedure?!

[I'm laughing so hard I can't live anymore, Cthulhu's OCD is incurable.]

[This shouldn't be considered cosmetic surgery, it's more like battlefield mechanics, right?]

[...I think it's because the boss makes too many unreasonable demands, causing Cthulhu to react reflexively...]

[CPU success! Engineers are omnipotent!]

Fortunately, it seems that the "mecha fish" doesn't need dental work or nose repair.

The blue light bars on its body were increasing in frequency, and the undercurrents beneath the sea were becoming more turbulent and violent. Under this unknown force, [Deep Sea Shadow] shook violently.

"It's angry!"

Prepare for battle!

Ivan cracked his knuckles as he picked up [Heart's Desire] with a fierce fighting spirit.

"It's alright." He casually pushed Klaus into the observation cabin. "You take the helm."

at the same time.

The system panel unfolds in any consciousness.

[Should we connect the output interface of the 'Biokinetic Module' to the 'Shipborne Weapon Module: Death Thorn Lance'?]

"confirm."

His rambling just now wasn't even meant to get "Gundam Fish" to register.

Yu Guangli.

Aurora and Sita, who were on the right side of the observation cabin door, quietly exchanged a hand gesture.

That's it.

All the flesh and blood have been fed to the digestive module, and the energy bar of [Deep Sea Shadow] is completely full with some remaining.

"Buzz—"

A buzzing sound rang out.

The Gundam Fish seemed to have locked onto them as enemies, its rocket-like body folding short wings on both sides, making mechanical sounds.

"Click..."

Its glider-like fins and tail extended, but no jets of air were seen; however, the next second...

It defied gravity and suddenly rose into the air from the sea!

The seawater it stirred up poured down, creating a torrential downpour on the deck.

After hovering briefly in mid-air, the culprit, like a launched homing missile, hurtled straight toward [Deep Sea Shadow].

"These days... even fish have wings!?"

Klaus muttered in despair, maneuvering the boat nimbly to create half a boat's width of space, allowing the "underwater mech" to brush past him just off the side.

It's like a car speeding through a roadside ditch during a downpour—

The resulting high-pressure water jets washed the entire deck.

"Hurrah—!"

Instead of dodging, Ivan leaped into the air from the ship's side.

Compared to the towering Gundam, its tiny body traced a parabola through the air and landed deftly where its head met its body.

"This guy! He's got a death wish!"

Nathan wiped the seawater off his face and saw the fish carrying Ivan plunge into the sea. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

If that fish had taken him thousands of meters into the deep sea—

"don’t worry,"

Ren Yi's calm voice immediately brought him back to reality, "Go and control the [Death Thorn Spear]. Remember, don't damage the mech."

Ivan isn't stupid, and he's already at Lv4, so he doesn't need anyone to worry about him.

If something goes wrong with this...

That only means that if the King of Hell wants him to die at midnight, there's no way to keep him alive.

Large white bubbles quickly rose from the sea surface, and a ghostly blue light darted wildly underwater, its trajectory chaotic and disorderly, like a dump truck with a malfunctioning steering wheel.

Ivan gripped the seam of the Gundam Fish mech tightly.

The turbulent currents felt like knives cutting his face, but he showed no sign of letting go. Instead, he squeezed the fish's neck between his legs, swung his [Heart's Desire] in one hand, and smashed it relentlessly at the glowing energy node.

"Clang! Clang!!" The sparks exploded and then disappeared instantly.

"Get up there...!"

He mustered all his strength and finally wedged the axe into the neck of the giant fish, then used all his strength to pry it upwards!

"Bang!"

A column of water shot into the sky from the sea a hundred meters away.

The giant fish was forced to leap out of the water again, its body twisting wildly in mid-air, trying to shake off the stubborn plaster.

"Great, let's go!"

He casually gripped the Raven in reverse and, without hesitation, slashed his left hand. Before the blood could even flow, the wound had already healed.

The green runes lit up.

The extended Raven exploded in the air and wrapped around the tail of the Gundam Fish.

"Ivan, hold on!"

He braced himself against the ship's side, lowered his waist, and used the ship's weight and the power of the [Deep Sea Shadow] to create a perfect back-and-forth pull with Ivan above him.

The aquatic giant, weighing tens of tons, was held in mid-air by the two men in the shape of a recurve bow, unable to move.

If it is smart enough,

At this point, you should give up resisting, retract your fins and tail, and use your own weight to fall into the sea.

Unfortunately, no—

Its wings flapped frantically on both sides, and its engines roared, but it could not break free from the strange force restraining it at both ends.

"Nathan!"

"They're here!"

Nathan is a pro at handling shooting weapons.

He slammed down on the red eyeball of the [Dead Thorn Spear]. "Why is it rolling its eyes at me?"

Complaints aside,

Nathan squinted, needing no eyeballs to aim, and locked onto the notch on the Gundam Fish's 'nose' with his naked eyes.

That is the only internal weakness that the entire mech has been exposed so far.

"...I hope you enjoy this warm greeting."

"Bang--!"

The not-so-thick, specially made harpoon, dragging a long bio-tether, roared out, a large burst of electric sparks erupting from the gaps in the armor, and the Gundam Fish emitted a sharp, horn-like explosion.

"You hit it! And then?" Nathan yelled.

"Then... give it a charge."

He loosened his left hand, letting the Raven hang on the fish's tail, and then slapped the biological conduit interface on the deck with his other hand.

[Output interface conversion complete, flare mode preheating initiated.]

The output of biological materials is of too low grade, posing a risk of overload.

The Gundam Fish was pinned down by a harpoon, and its eerie blue light turned into a dangerous crimson, as if it was about to unleash some kind of high-energy attack or self-destruct.

But Renyi didn't give it that chance.

A dazzling golden light flowed along the veins beneath the deck and into the [Death Thorn Spear].

This time, the high-energy heat rays were not emitted from any angle, but were forcibly compressed and continuously output to the Gundam Fish along the cable.

"Sizzle—"

The giant fish short-circuited; its heavy body didn't even twitch before it crashed straight into the sea.

The biological cable was also rendered unusable at the same time.

The flexible conduit that Klaus had painstakingly crafted with many rare materials was destroyed, turning into black ash scattered on the deck.

"Boss...you could at least use an electric shock!" Klaus clutched his heart...it hurt so much!

"Well, out with the old, in with the new."

He waved casually, "Stop crying, come closer."

We have new materials again!
