Except for those on duty, everyone was talking about the changes in the base.

"Sister Ning, the government and military departments are already recruiting people and are selecting a site to build a desalination system."

"Not only that, I heard that the excavators will be transferred to dig coal mines, and the cloth is also on the shelves of the base store. If you need it, you can use points to buy it."

"We brought back so many seeds last time. The base can definitely expand the planting."

In short, everyone is looking forward to this mission, hoping to bring back materials that are useful for the construction of the base.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very bleak.

The first coordinate, the sea water depth is as high as more than 4,000 meters, even nuclear submarines can't go down, let alone mortals.

The mission was not successful, and everyone was poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

"It's okay, there are more to come."

The team members comforted each other, but they all knew in their hearts that the fire boxes that they had collected with so much effort would sleep in the seabed and never be seen again, unless there was a day when the sea changed drastically.

The disaster was too tragic, and no one wanted to see it again.

But the frustration was still to come. The second one also fell into the deep sea, a despairing 6,000 meters.

The third one couldn't have such bad luck again, right?

12,000 meters!

Everyone was in a state of panic, thinking that God was playing a joke on them.

The fourth one was okay, only 600 meters.

But it was still a distance that mortals could not reach.

The fifth one was about 300 meters.

It was the last stop of this mission and the shallowest one.

But even wearing a diving suit, it still couldn't reach it.

Jiang Ning was quite Buddhist on this trip, but he couldn't stay calm.

He couldn't return empty-handed, could he?

Gu Tinglin didn't say it explicitly, but she knew in her heart that no military commander who could reach a high position was a fool.

He did so much just to support his daughter and son-in-law.

Development is true, but this is the development of the base, which is very different from personal prospects.

In the twelve years of natural disasters, even though some people lost their wives and children, they were only in their early fifties and sixties, and they had trained excellent subordinates.

It is not a problem to adopt an adopted son or find a godfather, let alone those who have children.

If Gu Tinglin had children at the beginning, it would be fine. They have a process of slowly accepting it. The key is to be parachuted.

It would be fine if he was a dull person who just ate and waited for death, but who knew that he would be a prominent figure and the limelight was unmatched.

There are always people who can't sleep at night. If they are provoked a few more times, they will be very upset.

She can't return empty-handed and give others the opportunity to criticize Gu Tinglin.

But it is impossible to go down to 300 meters below the sea.

Jiang Ning wondered if there was any other way to catch it?

She couldn't help but think of the lasso game. In the past, Doudou and the dog were tied with ropes and they could be put into the space together.

What if the fire box is lassoed?

Jiang Ning told Huo Yishen about the idea.

There is no better way, so we can only give it a try.

So, the trio dived to the limit with diving equipment. Jiang Ning took out the wire from the space, tied a hook to the end, and used an underwater telescope to lower it to the location of the fire box.

The wire is not heavy, and it is more than 100 meters long. Affected by the water flow and pressure, it is not easy to hook the fire box.

Huo Yishen cooperated with Jiang Ning, and Xu Kaitai made gestures beside him: Release, release, keep releasing...

After more than ten minutes, they still couldn't get it done, and their physical strength was rapidly consumed .

To the right, yes, a little to the right, oops, it didn't hook...

Left, left, yes, yes, yes, hook hard, oops...

This repeated endlessly, I don't know how many times I tried, just when I was tired and about to lose faith, it seemed that it finally hooked.

Jiang Ning tried hard to close the space.

It was closed, but the underwater pressure was too great, and the fire box fell down as soon as it was closed.

Her medicine field! Jiang Ning wailed in her heart.

I really couldn't swim anymore, and the three of them hurriedly pulled the rope.

The team members waited anxiously. After receiving the signal, they hurriedly pulled up. "How are you?"

The three were too tired to speak.

Several people helped unload the diving equipment. "Do you need oxygen tanks?"

After resting for half an hour, her body recovered.

Seeing that her complexion had recovered, Zhang Li dared to ask, "Sister Ning, has the fire box been collected?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Everyone cheered and said excitedly, "Sister Ning, Captain Huo and Captain Xu, you are really amazing."

They were so happy that they dared not disturb them again. "Hot water and towels are ready. You can take a shower and rest. Leave the rest to us."

Huo Yi slept deeply for several hours. He moved lightly so as not to wake Jiang Ning up and called the team members to a meeting.

Only one fire starter box was recovered in this mission. Should we return to the base first or continue to the next mission?

In fact, none of the team members had any opinions. After all, the one who recovered the fire starter box was Jiang Ning. They were just accompanying her. They felt embarrassed to hold the reward in their hands.

"Can Sister Ning handle it?"

Zhang Li was concerned and analyzed with a frown: "The average depth of the ocean before the natural disaster was more than 3,000 meters. It is unknown now, but it should be not much different. The recovery rate is actually not high."

This is also the voice of other team members. What is the possibility that the ocean depth of the next mission will be less than 300 meters?

Xu Kaitai had a strong belief. "The average depth of the ocean was discussed before the team was formed. The development of the base requires a fire box. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must try it."

Huo Yishen frowned slightly, "Continue the mission, but we can't just rely on the fire box. Other resources can't be missed."

When Jiang Ning woke up, the meeting was over.

The next day, Jiang Ning released 2688, and the two submarines divided the work and cooperated to explore other resources together.

Two days later, the nuclear submarine made a call to contact 2688, and a huge industrial obstacle was found on the seabed, and the depth was suitable for salvage.

2688 swam over to explore, and it seemed to be a city ruin.

The whole city collapsed and sank in the ocean. The water

was more than 100 meters deep. This time, Huang Mao and his team took the lead and dived into the ocean for manual exploration.

They floated up half an hour later.

Jiang Ning's guess was right, it was an underwater ruin.

There were many large tanks inside, and there was a high possibility that they were oil storage tanks.

Judging from the coordinates, this used to be the oil-producing country Camel, a country where oil is cheaper than water.

Huang Mao and his team should be right.

The ruins are huge, and what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

It's rare that the sea area is shallow. Since it has been explored, there may be oil in it?

Even if there is not, the tanks can be towed back and melted as scrap copper and rotten iron, and they can be reused.

Jiang Ning thought the same thing, "Okay, let's try to pull it up."

The ruins are dangerous, and people have to look after each other.

Jiang Ning collected both submarines, and everyone went into the sea.

The current in this sea area is not fast, and the water is very clear. The sunlight shines through the sea water, sparkling and glittering.

Giant tanks covered with silt, luxury cars surrounded by fish and shrimp, broken bricks and walls, skeletons...
