If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 626 Pre-War Plan
The door of the temporary combat conference room was pushed open, Ye Sheng and Yaji walked in from the wind and rain, bowed their heads, turned around and tried to close the door, and cut off the noise of the rainstorm outside with a "bang".

"Sorry, we're late. Yaji and I took a nap in our room. We thought the meeting wouldn't start until tomorrow morning." Ye Sheng let go of his right hand holding the doorknob, let go of the doorknob, and turned to look at the combat meeting room. Mance and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded slightly.

The rainwater kept falling from the hoods of Ye Sheng and Yaji's raincoats. Mance, who was standing in front of the tactical board, glanced at them, "The plan is indeed tomorrow morning, but the reinforcements arrived early, so the meeting was naturally brought forward. It’s been said all along, we don’t have much time.”

"Yes."

"はい(hai)."

Ye Sheng and Yaji replied at the same time, took off their raincoats and hung them on the hanger, revealing the black diving suits they had already put on before they came in. The light from the room shone on the dark neoprene clothing. There is a dark light on the top, and the half-decayed world tree mark on the chest, which means that this body is produced by the equipment department.

At the same time, Ye Sheng also observed the people waiting in the combat conference room. Professor Mance and Selma need not elaborate. Professor Jiang Peijiu also sat in the corner and nodded slightly to the two of them who came in. However, it was a little surprising that The lady of the Chen family and "Key" were also sitting at the table and were allowed to observe the tactical plan.But what caught the two people's attention the most was the figure of the other one who had never appeared on the Moniach before. He was looking at the underwater strategy drawn on the tactical board carefully with his back to the two of them. picture.

"Ye Sheng, Ya Ji." Mance called out the names of the two main diving students, and they both stepped forward to the table and stood upright at the same time. Seeing him give a slight signal to the back of the black windbreaker beside him, he introduced , "Lin Nian."

Lin Nian interrupted his thoughts of watching the tactical board and turned to look at the two familiar senior sisters and seniors from the executive department behind the table, nodding slightly, "We met before."

The three of them had indeed met each other. Ye Sheng and Ya Ji still remembered the bar in Brooklyn, New York. At this time, a little enlightenment appeared in their eyes. It seemed that they remembered what Lin Nian said at that time. Quite a metaphor.

"Since I know you, I don't need to introduce you. Even if you are a graduate, there are very few people who don't know you, unless you are a commissioner who has been sent to the network-isolated area all the year round." Mance glanced at the people in the room, "But there are still many people in the room. Let me just say that Lin Nian joined the operation this time as the deputy executive officer, and under special circumstances he can replace the first officer and take over my command."

"Commissioner Lin." Ye Sheng and Yaji looked at Lin Nian and nodded earnestly. This time, the two of them were the temporary subordinates of this boy who was much younger than them.

"I will only command and give orders in the professions I am proficient in. In general, Captain Mance has the final say and each performs his own duties." Lin Nian said.

"Couldn't be better," said Mance, with a calm face.

"With an 'S' class in charge of this mission, it will probably be much safer?" Selma said with a smile, which can be regarded as an adjustment to the serious atmosphere made by Professor Mance's own habits.

Mance was about to reprimand Selma, but Lin Nian spoke first, "If sending an 'S' class can safely solve the suspected secret mission related to the Dragon King, then the Dragon King War will not appear so serious and terrible. I am not Almighty, although I feel a little discouraged by what I said next, it is the truth. Don't trust me too much to solve the things under the Yangtze River. I have no experience of meeting the four monarchs. I don't know how the situation will develop by then. .”

"The dragon king may not have hatched. Norton, the king of bronze and fire, was a violent monarch in history. The purer the dragon king, the more he hates human civilization. If he really hatched, he would rush out of the river to release that Forbidden words." Jiang Peijiu in the corner spoke, and Lin Nian's gaze fell on her, and she nodded slightly as a gesture.

"'Yan Ling·Candle Dragon'? It is indeed a very troublesome Yan Ling. The 'Rhine' of the same level is suspected to be the top-secret language spirit that caused the Tunguska explosion." Lin Nian nodded lightly, "But take a step back. If Norton hatches and I drag him to death below the river, even if 'Candle Dragon' releases the damage, the damage will be kept to a minimum, right?"

"But evaporating a large section of the river is inevitable. The shock wave may also cause underwater earthquakes and the collapse of the surrounding gorge. If this happens, it can be explained by the earthquake." Jiang Peijiu nodded, "But if that happens If it happens, you must be dead, no one can survive within the core range of the explosion of the spirit of 'Candle Dragon'."

"If that happens, I am sure to escape, unless there is an accident that I have to stay." Lin Nian shook his head and said.

'Setsuna'?Jiang Peijiu knew that if the word spirit of the 'S' student who was in full swing in the sky, he might not be able to escape in that situation if he had the ultimate Setsuna, but could the underwater 'Shensu' also display the extreme speed on land?She didn't know, but seeing Lin Nian's appearance of not wanting to argue about this topic, she didn't pursue it, but nodded quietly and continued to think about this issue.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen." Mance clapped his hands to attract attention and said calmly, "The priority assumption in the operation is that His Royal Highness Norton has not yet recovered and is still hiding in the metamorphic 'cocoon', don't forget that we The first goal of this operation is to find the 'cocoon' in the Bronze City and achieve the glorious deed of the first human being to 'capture' the Dragon King alive."

"I have never seen a dragon's 'cocoon' directly." Lin Nian said after thinking, "But if I were a dragon king, my hatching place must be heavily organised. To be worthy of the dragon king's hatching place, to win his 'cocoon' must be as difficult as the ancient Greek hero Hercules to break through the Twelve Trials."

"This is also the crux of the problem, which is why we didn't get through the underground rock formation in the first place." Mance folded his hands and looked at the tactical board, which used drawings to analyze the structure of the underwater rock formation and the implementation of the drilling machine's excavation. The progress, the scale conversion is noted in the lower right corner, the tactical map updated every hour has not been moved for half a day, and the drilling progress of the drilling machine has stopped at 38 meters.

"We are still two and a half meters away from the excavation progress, and we can penetrate the rock formations to build a passage leading to a huge underground building. If it is deeper, I am afraid that the water pressure will crush the geology. After the crustal activity, these rock formations are not particularly hard. So the excavation progress is also very fast, if we want to dig through, we can dig through it within an hour." Mance raised his hand and motioned for the tactical board to explain.

"Have you confirmed that the Bronze City is below the rock formation?" Lin Nian asked this extra question even though he had received some information from the Executive Department before coming here.

"Professor Jiang Peijiu has located this water area several times through geomantic omens. The sonar observer has also confirmed that there are huge buildings underground, not caves or natural terrain. The underground buildings are very complicated. Supercomputer modeling 80.00% of the contours that appeared after removing the accretions that may exist in the rock stratum are consistent with the 'city'." Mans said, "In addition, we sent Ye Sheng and Yaji to dive down after we drilled a 38-meter hole. , at the place closest to the ground, we asked Ye Sheng to release the 'snake'. Ye Sheng, tell him what you perceive."

"A huge amount of bronze." Ye Sheng looked at Lin Nian and said, "I felt that the 'snake' was extremely active after breaking through the rock formation. Only a very good conductor can provide this activity. After the water came out, I was in a variety of conductors After a simulation experiment, the final similarity of more than 90.00% is the fragments of bronze objects we bought in the antique fairs on both sides of the river.”

"In other words, the underground buildings are indeed made of bronze. What is the maximum range of your snake?" Lin Nian asked.

"Three thousand feet, close to the limit distance of 1000 meters, double if extended in one direction."

"It seems that there is no misjudgment." Lin Nian nodded, this is the information he must confirm, "Ya Ji, I remember that your speech spirit can disturb the water flow, how fast can you advance underwater in complicated situations? "

"Faster than the average fish." Ye Sheng helped Jiude Yaji answer this question, "at least I never beat her in training."

"The terrain in the Bronze City will be very complicated. At least from my experience, every dragon's lair is a maze. It can be drawn by divers," Jiang Peijiu said.

"Can 'Snake' be used as a map to navigate?" Lin Nian asked suddenly.

"No. Snakes don't spread in the way of radar. You can imagine that they are strips of bioelectricity. When I tried to explore the terrain of the Bronze City, I only felt like I entered a huge maze, and in some areas snakes couldn't even penetrate. Thoroughly, I suspect that there is an alchemy matrix engraved in ancient times that repels the power of the words spirit." Ye Sheng shook his head.

"It's a maze and it's also a treasure. This is a mythical city built by the first generation. It must contain treasures of knowledge that can make the hybrids make a leap in technology at this stage, so I wish this city would be more complicated and huge." Jiang Peijiu There was a tea cigarette between his fingers but it was not lit, probably taking care of the baby in the lady's arms.

"This is also the difficulty of the plan. We don't know the internal structure of the Bronze City. Divers need to enter and slowly search for the location of the 'cocoon'. Even Norma can't predict the time it takes." Mance said in a deep voice.

"Oxygen is a big problem. Once you get lost in Baidi City, many people will die inside." Lin Nian said.

"Divers will have a traction rope and a signal line connected to the winch on the Moniach when they go into the water. Once there is a big problem, we can quickly pull it back. Divers can also use the traction rope behind them to find their way home according to the map. It is unlikely. Lost," said Mance.

Lin Nian glanced at Ye Sheng and Ya Ji, "What about underwater combat? I think you are also ready to meet the enemy, right?"

"Underwater buildings are divided into interior and exterior. After breaking through the rock formation, what we arrived was not inside the Bronze City, but outside the Bronze City. The 'snake' did not capture any heartbeat outside the Bronze City. It was very quiet under the rock formation, and we did not exist. In the expected 'ecosphere', the existence of dangerous dragon-like species can basically be ruled out, which is a relatively lucky thing." Mance raised his head slightly, "What we should be concerned about is the hidden dangers inside the Bronze City after opening the gate of the Bronze City. What's really unknown - this is where you come in."
