"Wow! It sounds amazing! Will there be many submarines with us this time?"

Listening to the Soviet Union's words, the excitement in Ling Min's eyes became more obvious, but the Soviet Union can only pour cold water on her now.

"Ahem, unfortunately, what is standing in front of everyone... is just the first prototype ship that was successfully built."

Speaking of this, the face of the Soviet Union showed an embarrassing look again. What she said before was just a theoretical prediction. Now the research on the submarine is still in the experiment. One of the purposes of this submarine is to create Also for data collection.

"That is to say... this is just an experimental ship?"

"Yes, but... because of this, the submarine is now equipped with some equipment that was not originally planned."

"Oh? What kind of equipment do you have?"

"For example, scientific research equipment for deep sea exploration, special thickened armor that can withstand extreme environments and fierce battles, and life support devices for long-term underwater activities."

life support device...

Listening to the words of the Soviet Union, Leon also gradually fell into thinking. Everyone who disappeared after that...should be relying on this device to maintain their life characteristics.

"Hearing what you said, I always feel that this submarine is more like a scientific research ship~"

"Yes, so... the armament of this submarine is extremely limited, so... when you use this submarine, everyone should shoulder the responsibility of protecting it~"

"Got it~ Soviet Union, when can we board the ship? I can't wait to study this submarine!"

As soon as the words of the Soviet Union fell, Ling Min looked at her excitedly. As a ship girl who is very interested in this kind of machinery, Ling Min felt that she could no longer bear the feeling of waiting.

"Don't worry, sensitive, before everyone boards the ship, I have to tell you the main content of this mission."

Smiling towards Lingmin, the Soviet Union looked at everyone seriously.

"Not long ago, we captured a permanent fortress established by the Sirens in the polar sea, so... the mission requirement this time is to let everyone take this submarine to the polar fortress, and install some After the special device, you will go to somewhere in the deep sea to complete a survey operation."

Speaking of this, the Soviet Union took another meaningful look at Leon.

"This mission is a little different from the past. There is an instruction book in the submarine. You can read it carefully after you go up. Like this submarine, this mission is also the first mission of our Northern Alliance to explore the outer waters, so Said... I also ask all comrades to complete this task beautifully, and show everyone's strength to the rest of the comrades in the Northern United!"

"Hmph~ This time I've done it myself, and Comrade Leon is here, so... you can rest assured and leave this task to us."

Looking at the impassioned Soviet Union, Kronstadt also assured the other party with a serious face, since it is the first mission...

Then you can finish it beautifully!

"I believe in you, but...in addition to completing the mission, everyone must return safely."

Smiling at Kronstadt, the Soviet Union turned sideways to allow everyone to enter the submarine. It was not until the moment Leon was about to board that the Soviet Union reached out and stopped Leon.

"Comrade Leon, can I have a few words with you alone?"

"...Can."

Looking at the Soviet Union with a smile on his face, Leon nodded in surprise. Seeing that Leon agreed to himself, the Soviet Union took Leon to a place a little further away.

"Comrade Leon, actually I called you here this time...I mainly want to meet you. As for this mission...you can choose not to go, after all...there may be some dangers that we cannot predict .”

The Soviet Union also expressed sincerity when they spoke. The submarine ship has now been built, but...some of the equipment is still in the research state, and they don't know if there will be any accidents.

Therefore...the Soviet Union will let everyone go in such a hurry, and go back quickly to reduce the probability of this unknown risk.

Of course, this is only psychological comfort.

"...Since you already know the potential danger of this submarine...then why did you assign this mission?"

Facing the eyes of the Soviet Union and looking at her face, Leon finally asked the question in his heart. He has seen the remorseful expression of the Soviet Union in the future. If possible, Leon wants to stop it now. We don't let these ship girls take this submarine.

"Comrade Leon, you know that we are still in the early stages of the establishment of the Northern Union, and we have to do everything by ourselves. Besides...if we don't make this attempt, the future battle will become even more difficult. Difficult, although you have the magical ability to repair ship equipment, Comrade Leon, but... this is still not a long-term solution, we have no choice, Comrade Leon."

"So...is this operation a must?"

"...Yes."

Listening to Leon's words, the Soviet Union nodded heavily, but...she still believes in everyone's research results in her heart, even if there is an accident...the facilities in the submarine will support everyone to survive.

Only by taking the first step bravely can technology progress.

"Well, what I just said is just a small suggestion, and I won't refute the decisions everyone has made, but... I will not withdraw from this mission, and... Even if there is an accident, I will bring everyone out safely."

Although this sentence will not be realized now, but...after he goes back, he will definitely fulfill his promise.

"Since you have already made your decision, Comrade Leon, then...like you, I will not say anything. Good luck."

Seeing that Leon had no intention of withdrawing, the Soviet Union smiled helplessly. After sending Leon into the submarine, the Soviet Union quietly watched the submarine that was about to leave the port.

Everyone must come home safely...

go!Northern Union! : Chapter 256 Let's go and do it!

"Hmm... The course is correct, the speed is stable... This submarine is really great! I can't help but take it apart and study its internal structure!"

In the deep sea, the people on board the submarine named Su Like were steadily heading towards their destination.

"After you are free, you can study this submarine well, but... before that, I have one more question."

Standing in front of the control panel of the submarine with Ling Min, Leon stretched out his hand and touched her head. Although they have set off now, a question slowly emerged in Leon's mind.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"I remember that the location of the ice-free port should not be there. The railway we took before was not heading in the direction of the ice-free port. Not only that, but the geographical environment there does not seem to be able to form a natural ice-free port. Hong Kong, so..."

Speaking of this, Leon looked at the rest of the submariners who were inspecting the internal facilities of the submarine. Although this question has nothing to do with them, but...he was a little curious.

"Well...Actually, I noticed it when I entered the port before. Around that port... there are some strange mechanical equipment. When we leave the port... there will be a strange machine at intervals on the water The buoy device, this device must have an underwater structure, but... I don't have time to study these things yet, but I'm sure that the ice-free port here must be related to those devices!"

After finishing speaking, Ling Min nodded confidently, and listening to the conversation between the two, Arkhangelsk also walked over slowly.

"The observation is really meticulous~ Sensitive, I thought your attention was all on the submarine."

"Hmph~ I'm a genius mechanic from the Northern United~ But, looking at your expression...you seem to already know how those devices work?"

Hearing Arkhangelsk's words, Lingmin said proudly again, and then she looked at her partner with curious eyes.

"Well... this is actually just my guess. I have heard some rumors before when I was studying in the royal family. This device... seems to have something to do with the Rubik's Cube. The royal family was studying this kind of thing at that time. , so I think...we should also do some research here, right?"

Mind Rubik's Cube...?

Arkhangelsk's words reminded Leon that the future Northern United did use the mental Rubik's Cube as its energy source. Speaking of which...this kind of thing was also regarded as a small energy source at the beginning.. .

"However... this conjecture should be close to ten, after all... if you want to keep such a large port from being frozen, I think... only the energy of the Rubik's Cube can do it?"

After finishing speaking, Arkhangelsk raised his arms and stretched his waist. They don't know how the frontline ship girls did their research. They can only study carefully after everything is settled. .

"That's right...there was no power plant or other facilities around the port just now. The Rubik's Cube is amazing...I really want to disassemble one and study it."

Stretching out his hand to stroke his chin, he looked at Leon sensitively and thoughtfully. Speaking of which...Since Comrade Leon can repair the ship's equipment...then his ability must also be related to the Rubik's Cube. ..

Sure enough, I should study Comrade Leon carefully!

"...Why do I feel that your eyes are so dangerous?"

Sensitive eyes looked a bit piercing to Leon, seeing Leon looking at him, Lingmin patted Leon's arm with a smile on his face.

"Comrade Leon, why don't you let me study you carefully?"

"Hey, hey, sensitive, why did I hear such a dangerous speech from you as soon as I came back?"

Before Leon could say anything, Kronstadt walked in from the outside and stood beside the three of them. She jokingly said to Ling Min again: "Ling Min, are the facilities in these submarines interesting?"

"You... what are you talking about! I treat these instruments with a serious attitude~"

After finishing speaking, Ling Min puffed up her cheeks angrily. Could it be that her performance doesn't look like she's working hard? ?

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, but... we are about to reach that polar fortress, and just now, I have seen the icebreaker Mikoyan coming to welcome us."

"The Mikoyan?"

"Yes, this icebreaker has always been responsible for maintaining the channel between the port and the base. This time, this icebreaker will also guide us to the polar fortress."

After finishing speaking, Kronstadt handed the task book for this mission to Leon. Although the ports of the Northern United have cited advanced snow-melting equipment, they still need icebreakers to maintain the route.

"Speaking of which, what does the current polar fortress look like?"

After reading the task book, Leon looked at Kronstadt curiously. When they went to the polar fortress, the place was completely covered by ice and snow. what kind of situation.

"Well... I know a little bit about the situation there, but... the specific feeling, let's judge for ourselves after everyone arrives."

......

Under the guidance of the icebreaker, everyone finally came to the vicinity of the polar fortress.

The icebreaker was also set to automatic cruise mode. After taking Leon and his party to the polar fortress, the icebreaker was moored in a port not far away.

"Is this the polar fortress? It feels spectacular..."

Standing on the submarine, Leon sighed and said that he didn't feel this way when he saw the polar fortress in the future, and... those sirens were constantly leading them to other places at that time, This gave him no time to watch it up close.

This is a majestic building. It looks like a huge auditorium on the water, and it also looks like an aerospace facility in a science fiction novel. It is a bit out of place with the surrounding barren natural environment. The whole building is still shining with red light from time to time.

"Although we already knew that this place was taken from the siren, but...the atmosphere here is a bit weird..."

Standing on the submarine with Leon, Volga's feelings are a little different from Leon's. Not only Volga, but even Kiev and Lingmin who are beside him nodded in agreement.

"I always feel that there is a dangerous atmosphere exuding from the inside to the outside..."

"No way, we have no choice but to use this facility. After all... we don't have the strength to build this kind of floating island fortress by ourselves, but... this kind of transfer station that can help us go to the depths of the polar sea It is something we urgently need now, so... we can only use it after defeating the sirens here."

Speaking of this, Kronstadt sighed helplessly again, if it wasn't because everyone hasn't mastered this ability, otherwise...they wouldn't have made such a bad move.

"...Then can I not enter the interior of that fortress?"

After listening to Kronstadt's words, Kiev looked at her with some resistance. Although there are no sirens here now,... Kiev is still a little resistant.

"Are you still afraid!?"

Hearing Kiev's words, Ling Min looked at her in disbelief. Kiev usually performed very well when fighting the Sirens, but now...

"It's not fear, I'm just stating the facts, I still feel ... it's very dangerous here."

Facing the sensitive gaze, Kiev nodded again with a serious face, but Kronstadt shook his head slightly.

"Unfortunately, Kiev, we will go to the interior of the fortress to install some devices needed for the submarine to perform missions. If you really mind...then you can wait for us at the pier where the icebreaker is staying."

After finishing speaking, Kronstadt pointed to other areas outside the main body of the fortress. There are also some auxiliary facilities around the fortress. Those were built by their northern alliance. You can go to those places and wait.

"...Where is Comrade Leon? Do you want to go in too?"

Following Kronstadt's gaze and looking at the surrounding facilities, Kiev shifted her gaze to Leon again. Compared with the fortress, she felt that the rest of the facilities were much more normal.

"Me? My words... I should go in with everyone? To be honest, I am still very curious about the internal structure of the fortress."

Seeing Kiev looking at him, Leon said to Kiev with a smile on his face.

"That's it...then...I'd better go in with Comrade Leon."

Slightly wriggling his lips, Kiev originally wanted to persuade Leon to stay outside with him, but after seeing Leon's expectant expression, Kiev finally changed his mind.

"Huh? Didn't you still..."

"It's okay, I still think it's better for everyone to act together."

Sensing the somewhat surprised eyes of Ling Min, Kiev shook her head gently again, but...she still insisted on her thoughts, this fortress...

Definitely dangerous.

......

"Phew~ I finally loaded all the equipment, but...Kiev, did you see it? There is no danger at all~"

Mooring the submarine on the pier like an icebreaker, Ling Min stretched out with a satisfied face.

It took them nearly an afternoon to equip these devices, but...Compared to this icebreaker, Ling Min now wants to study the inside of this polar fortress.

"...There is no harm in being cautious, but... what about Kronstadt and Arkhangelsk?"

Smiling at Ling Min, Kiev turned his head and looked around again, now... there is no one else here except Leon and the two of them.

"They seemed to be resting in the lounge before, I'll go and see them."

Listening to Kiev's words, Leon set off and walked towards the lounge inside the submarine. As soon as he reached the door, Leon heard the conversation between the two.

"...Iron Blood seems to be on the verge of moving around these days, I just hope...they will not dare to do those outrageous things because of our existence."

Iron blood...?

Hearing this kind address from the conversation between the two, Leon was also stunned for a while. Speaking of it... If it is calculated according to the normal chronological order... Iron Blood will be in the future for a period of time. Military action against the Northern Union has begun.

It's just...he doesn't know what the iron blood looks like now.
