Endless Silver Machine

Her Royal Highness, the third princess of the Bis Empire, Lan Ming Yiela, and her second prince, Philip Yiela, held a joint ocean fleet exercise in the northwest waters in their own names.

The bill passed Yuan Laoyuan's review without any hindrance and was approved.

The two organizers will also visit the fleet in person, so this time the joint ocean fleet exercise will not allow people other than designated personnel to come within 200 nautical miles of the exercise sea area.

Although the technology of airships and aviation guided ships has matured, the ocean is still a huge treasure house of resources, and navigation technology has not declined due to the development of aviation technology.

On the contrary, by borrowing the power of magic machinery, the strength of the ocean fleet has been greatly improved.

However, the leaders of modern warfare are magicians. Aviation magic ships and combat robots are also favored because of their outstanding performance. The probability of naval battles is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the superficial purpose of the two organizers proposing this joint maritime fleet exercise is to give the maritime fleet, which has been neglected for many years, a chance to practice, which is beneficial to the Bis Empire.

Two huge fleets set off from ports in two directions and waited in waters five hundred nautical miles apart. Lan Ming's fleet is close to the western sea, and Philip's fleet is close to the northern sea.

…………

Lan Ming personally went to Philip to discuss this proposal.

Although he didn't know what his sister was going to do, Philip could guess that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"Only in times like this would you think of asking me for help."

At first, Philip did not immediately agree to Lan Ming's request.

"It will not affect Brother Huang's reputation, please rest assured."

"Of course the imperial sister's request will not be detrimental to me. I still believe in this."

"Then agree to co-sign with me."

"Why don't you ask Brother Huang for help?"

The royal brother in Philip's mouth refers to the first prince of the Bis Empire and the most recognized man in the Bis Empire.

"How should I answer this kind of question..."

Lan Ming deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, Phillip could see through it at a glance, and Lan Ming himself knew it well.

"Well, if I promise you, I have a precondition."

"You want to know my purpose, right?"

"As expected of my royal sister, that's true."

"I knew it……"

"I don't know your purpose, how should I cooperate with you?" Phillip leaned into Lan Ming's ear with a smile, and whispered, "In other words, can you trust me to this extent?"

"Ha..." Lan Ming pushed his head away and sighed loudly, "If Brother Huang can't be trusted, then there is no one in August who is worthy of my trust."

"That child Zi Ming will cry when she hears these words." Philip returned to his usual smiling face, "Well... she probably won't cry because she knows what you said was against her will. ."

"Brother, please don't expose me in front of me..."

Even in this situation, Lan Ming still faced Phillip with a smile, without any flaws.

Or maybe he deliberately exposed flaws that are not called flaws.

"Everyone in Augustli can be an enemy, as I'm sure you know all too well."

"I have indeed not forgotten this. Since the emperor has asked so, I will tell you my purpose."

"Oh? Did you decide so soon?"

"But not everything." Lan Ming shook his finger, "I will only tell you where you need to cooperate with me."

"Let's talk and listen."

Phillip did not continue to test Lan Ming's attitude. Only they themselves know the content of the discussion between the two.

…………

The six cruisers maintained a distance of two hundred nautical miles from the commander ship, forming a circle to protect the crucial commander ship.

Under the water are four submarines on standby. The nuclear power is replaced by a molecular power furnace, which increases their concealment under the water.

The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft took off from the cruiser's catapult and went to high altitude to search for the enemy.

The magnetic detector was operated during the journey, and the buoy sonar dropped along the way established a strong underwater defense line.

The shipboard radar on the ship showed that there was no magic power fluctuation from the magic machine within a range of five hundred nautical miles.

The faster destroyers left the fleet from different directions.

The exercise sea area was not very wide, and the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft quickly discovered the enemy.

The first round of saturation attacks has begun. Today's saturation attacks are only comparing the durability of the ship-borne magic barriers on both sides, and cannot quickly disintegrate the defense force.

After the exploratory saturation attack, the battle lines were quickly drawn up, and the unmanned carrier-based aircraft of the command ships of both sides entered the battle. Air superiority still has indispensable significance for the ocean fleet.

The air defense network formed by the cruisers has become the most reliable barrier for the command ship, and the destroyers entering the guerrilla warfare can also provide support according to the real-time situation.

The mechanical ship-borne cannon stirred up huge waves on the water, the water traces of the torpedoes crisscrossed in multiple directions, and the laser of the magic ship-borne cannon cut the water surface straight.

During the intense exchange of artillery fire, the bottom compartment of the commander ship where Lan Ming was riding quietly began to fill with water. The hatch opened, and a slender small submarine was clamped by a mechanical arm and transported outside the hatch.

After reaching the appropriate distance, the robotic arm automatically releases the clamped small submarine.

The small submarine's molecular power furnace began to operate, and the sound of magic ripples and drainage mixed with the sound of torpedoes, and it quickly left the exercise sea area.

"Lan Ming, we are out of the sonar monitoring range."

"Thank you for your hard work, Charlotte."

Lan Ming stretched out in the narrow cabin, while Lan Ming concentrated on controlling the small submarine to pass through the reef.

There were only two of them on board this small submarine.

"By the way, Charlotte."

"What's wrong?"

“Have you ever heard of the expression ‘kelp entangles a submarine’?”

"...I'm sorry, Your Highness, please forgive my ignorance."

"It doesn't matter. It is said that this was a theory put forward by a great navigator known as 'Zuo' a hundred years ago. This statement was later verified by reality."

"ha……"

It was indeed the first time that Charlotte knew this statement, and she still had a dubious attitude.

"Do you think this statement is impossible?"

"To be honest..." Charlotte hesitated, "Even if kelp can entangle a submarine from a hundred years ago, now that the submarine is equipped with a molecular power furnace, the probability of such an accident should be very small."

It is the art of language not to express one's doubts clearly but to give reassuring reasons at the same time.

"I hope so too..."

"Lan Ming, what's wrong with you?" Lan Ming suddenly mentioned such a digression, and Xia Luo's thinking had not changed in time, "Shouldn't we think about the future now?"

"Over at the Ocean Fleet, someone has been found to take command on my behalf. Brother Huang will also cooperate with the battle to delay time. The important thing is..."

Lan Ming looked at the current seabed information displayed on the PDA and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?"

"We...seem to have entered an area where kelp grows intensively..."

"..."

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Charlotte did feel that the small submarine seemed to be unstable.

"Charlotte..."

"Your Highness, please hold on to the fixture at hand."

The small submarine in the kelp bushes began to drain and float rapidly, and the molecular power furnace began to operate at full power at the same time.
