On Earth, sunlight can only penetrate to a depth of about one thousand meters below the sea surface, and Pandora is obviously no exception.
The area from one thousand meters to four thousand meters deep on the surface of Pandora is the deep zone. Since the light of stars cannot reach here, these areas are very dark...especially for those creatures in the deep zone of Pandora. Because they have lived in this dark environment for a long time, their eyes have basically degenerated.
But miraculously, most of them living here have also evolved luminous and photosensitive biological devices so that they can be used to trap small fish and shrimps or identify directions, and this is what Anne sees. One of the strange scenes.
No one thought that in this deep sea, there would be such a place with mottled colors and a variety of beautiful luminous marine animals and plants, like a gorgeous fairy tale world or a fairyland on earth. Amazing place!
Or it can be said that the depths of the entire Pandora Ocean seem to be such a magical and gorgeous world that is not inferior to the beauty of the land?
However, what is even more surprising is that in this undulating undersea "stone" mountain range that seems to be mainly composed of superconducting ores, there is actually a large area built by humans on Earth after hollowing out the undersea mountains. Is there a submarine base and submarine mine that is silently hidden and exists deep in the ocean trench?
As we all know, the ocean is rich in various natural resources. However, seabed mining has always been an extremely difficult scientific research topic no matter what era it is in or what kind of planet it is on.
Because the depths of the ocean need to face various harsh high-pressure environments. Every ten meters of increase in seawater depth will increase the pressure by about one standard atmosphere. As the pressure increases, the pressure of various mining equipment will increase. The requirements for pressure resistance and sealing environment will also increase several times.
Therefore, if mining can be done on the ground, no one will be willing to go to the deep sea to do the thankless work of mining!
but……
If the ores that need to be mined are too precious, dozens or even hundreds of times more rare and valuable than gold, or they are completely untenable on land due to various reasons and cannot be mined. , that may be another matter.
Anyway, at this moment, little Annie, who was rescued from the point where she fell into the sea and dragged all the way back, and escaped by luck without having to worry about the game character being cleared and having to start from scratch, was following a Wearing a white shirt, parted hair, tie, and a somewhat unkempt beard, although he looked energetic, his face was still a little unhealthy pale. At first glance, you could tell that he was the kind of person who lived under the sea for a long time and lacked exercise and sunlight. The guys who were exposed looked at each other silently, with big eyes and small eyes.
"..."
(⊙o⊙)
Annie didn't speak, just blinked her big green eyes, and continued to confront and remain silent with such a thin and strange man who seemed to be the leader of this human submarine base without any fear.
"..."
And a certain person who had been labeled as a "weird man" by the little girl, the main person in charge of RDA's mining project in Pandora, a certain pale-faced man with two cents did not speak, and just kept looking up and down. A little girl came to his office and was standing in front of him.
finally……
Maybe he had figured something out, maybe he didn't want to waste too much time with the other party on such a trivial matter, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to end this meaningless stare, and walked to his own place. Behind the desk.
"Little guy, even if what you say is true..."
"Although, I still don't know why the head office would entrust a little girl like you to come to the dangerous Pandora to investigate. However, since you have a power of attorney from the company headquarters, and since the surveillance video on your spacecraft also illustrates some facts, Then I will choose to believe you!"
"You can't go back anyway, can you?"
After Parker Selfridge sat on the chair behind his desk, he waved the 'power of attorney' paper he had just obtained from the other party in this relatively small office and sighed. .
After they suddenly received an unfamiliar distress signal, they immediately dispatched two deep-diving mining submarines to investigate... But in the end, they dragged back a strange, almost completely damaged ring-shaped spaceship and one of the people in the spaceship. Little girl 'investigator'?
Later, through the video in the spacecraft, they basically learned about the arrival of the other's spacecraft in Pandora and the attack and crash, which could be regarded as establishing a basic trusting relationship with each other.
"Hey! Uncle Parker!"
(⊙??⊙)
"What is going on here on Pandora? How did you get to the bottom of the sea? I just said that I couldn't find your mining base after searching for a long time!"
(??⊙ω⊙`)
Anne is also very, very curious about this!
This matter is the main purpose of her coming to Pandora. If she doesn't figure this matter out, she will definitely not be able to submit tasks and receive rewards when she returns to the 'Oasis'! Although now she has been fascinated by the magic of Pandora and no longer cares about the rewards, it is always good if she can successfully complete the task.
"!!"
"Please, little one, I really don't want to remember that bad thing..."
Thinking back to the beginning, after the peace faction represented by Dr. Grace Augustine failed to negotiate with the stubborn Na'vi (or Na'vi), in order to completely get rid of the stumbling blocks that hindered human development of resources, he had to obey On the advice of security chief Colonel Miles Quatch, a large number of armed helicopters, robots, almost all Marine Corps mercenaries, giant mining trucks, and bombers modified from the 'Valkyrie' transport ship carrying mining explosives were dispatched. A joint army was formed to drive away the stubborn and ignorant Pandora natives.
But the result...
They actually lost in the end, and they lost so completely! Not only were their bases captured by the enemy, and the mines and equipment that had been repaired for many years were smashed, they were even captured and disarmed in despair and rushed to the universe. They almost had to take advantage of the fact that they were still stuck in Pandora's orbit. The aircraft carrier "Entrepreneurship Star" rolled back to the earth several light years away.
But fortunately, those stupid and ignorant Na'vi people did not have the power to fly into space, and they did not supervise whether they left. Therefore, in the end, they used the Valkyrie 1-7 transport spacecraft and 'Entrepreneurship' With a large amount of supplies and equipment on the "Star'" aircraft carrier, it took them nearly three years to secretly regain a foothold on the planet Pandora, and established their base in the seafloor veins with a depth of more than a thousand meters. Another mining and advance base.
In any case, Parker Selfridge would not be stupid enough to run back to Earth after losing a large number of combatants and wealth. If that were the case, the bosses on the company's board of directors would definitely not let him go easily. Get over him! Because he is the person in charge of RDA's Pandora project, and if the 'person in charge' fails in his duties, he will be held accountable!
Therefore, he finally secretly led his subordinates who were also unwilling to sneak back, and under the influence of the Na'vi people, the traitor Jack Sally and his primitive subordinates. Outside the scope, here in the depths of the deep ocean, they established their new mining base.
"??"
(°ー°〃)
"Why?"
╭(°A°`)╮
"All right!"
"Actually, it's very simple! Because we lost the war and were driven out of the ground base by the Na'vi people... In the end, there was no way, because we couldn't defeat them, and in order to protect the company's interests, we had to give up. He left the land of Pandora and came to the bottom of Pandora instead!"
Parker Selfridge shrugged nonchalantly.
Anyway, they have mined a lot of minerals in the past two years, and are planning to use the remaining Valkyrie 1-7 transport spaceship to transport the refined minerals to the "Entrepreneurship Star" aircraft carrier in the near future. Then the minerals were transported back to Earth through the aircraft carrier whose communicator was 'forced to be damaged', so that the head office could reluctantly spare him since he was still working hard and had shipped back a large amount of rare minerals. This time the derelict person in charge?
"It's you..."
"What's going on with you little guy? Why did you come to Pandora alone in a spaceship?"
"Also, your spaceship is obviously an advanced warship, but why was it attacked by that hammer-headed thunder beast and damaged to the point of crashing into the sea, forcing it to send a distress signal?"
To be honest, if there is one thing that puzzles Parker Selfridge more than a little girl being sent to Pandora to investigate the truth of the matter, it is: why the other party was obviously driving a battleship, but in the end he was killed by a Pandora The monster was beaten into the sea, but they were asked to be rescued by the 'wrecked ones'?
Is there some subtle mistake in the relationship between them?
"..."
(°ー°〃)
"Of course they learned about the information about your loss of contact and the commission from RDA Company, and then came to take a look..."
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Anne didn't tell the truth completely. Anyway, the other party didn't seem to want to verify it, and besides, they didn't have the channel to verify it.
"Ah!"
"Just you? Is there anyone else?"
Parker Selfridge felt that if the other party had someone to respond or a large spaceship in orbit, maybe their human situation would be slightly easier, and it might even be possible to recapture the traitors trapped in the 'Avatar' project. The occupied former mining base?
"No more, there is someone else and someone else's battleship!"
(*????╰╯`??)??
"Well……"
"Is it that strange little ring-shaped spaceship? Unfortunately, it is almost completely damaged! And the technology on it is unfamiliar to us, so I'm afraid it can't be repaired."
Regarding that spacecraft, Parker Selfridge, who was originally a technical engineer, had gone to the maintenance shop to see it in person before. However, he reluctantly said that he could not understand the weird engines inside the spacecraft. and distinctive equipment.
"That's it..."
(⊙x⊙;)
The tatters that she had spent hundreds of thousands of game gold coins to repair were broken again, which made Annie feel a little bit pained. After all, her money was all her hard-earned money!
"Let's talk about the question I just asked. Your ship should be an advanced warship with attack capabilities. You said before that it is called a 'Storm Warship'?"
"But I don't understand, why did you fall into the sea?"
Such a battleship, even if it is a bit small, in Parker Selfridge's opinion, should not be easily 'destroyed' by a beast on Pandora.
"..."
(,,????.????,,)
"I forgot to bring my breathing equipment and ran outside. Then I finally ran back into the cabin. Just as I was about to take off, I was hit by the big guy and pushed me into a beaver. I didn't expect it. , that kind of animal, it’s so vicious!!”
o(╥﹏╥)o
Lady Queen Anne said that if she hadn't been careless, a monster like that would have been killed by her using battleships or magic, and then skinned, fleshed, dismembered and blood drawn for money. She almost capsized and lost a huge fortune of 140,000 yuan!
"Ha! Very good!"
"Little guy, I think we have some common language again. We all have similar experiences and the same enemies, right?"
After laughing at himself, Parker Selfridge gradually relaxed.
In any case, various evidences have now proven that the little guy in front of me is indeed from the earth. He has a power of attorney from the headquarters company, and he was almost killed when he was attacked by monsters from Pandora. He is definitely not a traitor. The people over there should not expose their base here, so that's fine.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if they are exposed. He, Parker Selfridge, doesn't believe that those Na'vi people can ride a banshee winged beast or a gryphon winged beast to fly a thousand meters below the sea surface and attack them with bows and arrows!
"..."
!(;??o??)o
"Maybe……"
ε=(??ο｀*)))Alas
Now Annie has no good solution. She can only stay here for a day or two to see the situation and wait for the progress of the mission. Otherwise, what else can she do?
"Well……"
"Now that we've almost figured it out, little guy, do you need us to do anything for you? Although we don't have many vacancies at the space station and the transportation capacity is limited, but if you are the only one, we may be able to After activation, will you be sent back to Earth?"
"Of course, that may take a few years..."
"Of course, you can also wait here for a few years. If we don't contact the headquarters within the stipulated time and don't transport the minerals back, I think the company will definitely send someone. Think about it, it will be almost a few years. ”
"How about it, which one do you want to choose?"
The person in charge, Parker Selfridge, who was secretly mining in the submarine base every day, seemed to have nothing to do, so after talking to this weird little girl, he tentatively asked her about her plans. Come.
"!!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"I don't want to! I want to beat up those bad monsters outside!"
??(??`^????)??
However, how could little Annie, who was determined to take revenge, run back so dejectedly?
"just you?"
"Forget it, you can't even defeat us, so don't even think about it!"
Thinking about the memorable battle in which his own army was defeated... Parker Selfridge sighed quietly.
It's embarrassing to think about it. They obviously had the advantages of all kinds of advanced technology and weapons, but they still lost in the end... Although there were various reasons, such as those traitors and Pandora's "Planet Will" and other reasons. , However, when the people from the head office arrive or the contact with the Earth head office is re-established, no matter what the reason is, even if he is not held accountable, he will definitely be dismissed, right?
"He's a mage!"
"I'm not afraid of them!"
(｀⌒??メ)
Anyway, Annie will definitely not leave this Pandora planet so easily. She will stay here at least for a while.
"Mage?"
"what is that?"
Parker Selfridge was a little puzzled. He asked curiously while playing with the suspended superconducting ore placed on his desk.
"That's it!"
??(ψ｀▽′)o ??
"!!"
"You still have a lighter hidden in your hand? But what's the use of it?"
Parker Selfridge was in a daze, not knowing what the little girl wanted to express.
"!!"
(￢д￢.)
"This is magic, it's not a lighter!"
o(｀ω??*)o??
"Haha! Little guy, who do you think I am? One of those indigenous Na'vi people who can fool me with just a lighter?"
"But you may not know that after the trouble caused by those traitors and the teachings of Grace, those Na'vi people are not easy to fool now..."
The man was a little disdainful and sat back on his rocking chair and walked around leisurely. Apparently he was not too interested in some kind of hidden fire-starting device hidden by a little girl.
"It's really magic, not a lighter!!"
??(??`^????)??
Anne reiterated somewhat angrily, but the two-headed Parker Selfridge, the head of the base, just waved his hand casually.
"Annie, you go out to play first and don't touch things. I'll let someone arrange a separate small dormitory for you."
Parker Selfridge signaled to a certain little girl that she could go out. Even if she had other matters, she could come back to him another day. Even if she wanted to return to Earth, she would have to wait until their mothership was loaded with cargo and set off to return. Just fine.
"snort!"
(メ｀[]??)/=3??
boom! ! !
Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Anne simply threw the fireball out, directly blowing up the steel door of the other party's office and melting it into a pool of hot red molten steel.
"!!"
Parker Selfridge, who was frightened by the noise made by the little guy, jumped up from his seat. He was stunned and couldn't believe that it was what a little girl had just done.
'beep! beep! '
'beep! beep! '
Amidst the sound of fire alarms, a group of security mercenaries quickly rushed in with weapons and menacingly towards Parker Selfridge's office.
'! ! '
'Sir? '
'Did someone attack here? '
Although they didn't know what was going on here, the security officers who hurried here after hearing the explosion saw that the place seemed to have been blown up by some explosive device, so they subconsciously took out the weapons in their hands. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at a little girl who still had her hands on her hips with an angry look on her face.
If there is anyone who has the biggest suspicion of being attacked here, it is undoubtedly the new kid who is not a member of their base.
"..."
"No! It's okay. It was an accident. You can go out first..."
After hesitating for a while, Parker Selfridge still waved his hand to signal the team members to go out first, because he knew that the little girl was just eager to prove something, and she definitely had no hostility towards him or them. .
"that……"
"Little guy, that lighter you just used, does it still have the ability to explode? If you still have it, hand it over. That kind of thing is too dangerous. This is the bottom of the sea. Once you blow up the gate outside, it will be Something big will happen.”
Subconsciously, even if it is an NPC, Parker Selfridge is not willing to believe that the little girl just used some kind of magic. He is more willing to believe that what the other party has in his hand is some kind of fire-starting tool, and it is the kind that can be used when necessary. A self-defense tool that can be overloaded with power and then used as a weapon?
"!!"
!(;??▽??)o
"But that's magic!!!"
??(??﹏??,)??
Annie suddenly hated these NPCs and this 'Oasis' game.
Because why did those guys adjust the AI intelligence of this NPC to such a high level that she had to explain for a long time just for the smallest things? What's worse is that even if she explains for a long time, the other party seems to be unwilling to believe it?
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"..."
Parker Selfridge folded his arms and said nothing.
There is no doubt that you can tell from his expression that he is definitely not willing to believe what a little girl said and that kind of ridiculous thing! Even if it's just an NPC, he is only willing to believe things that conform to his logic for the time being, unless... the other party can prove or convince him with more facts?
