It is of great importance.
Even a bridge known for its low efficiency is collapsed by a cargo ship, it would take more than ten departments to negotiate for several months before starting the clearance work of the bridge remains. At the same time, it would take one or two years of "white hawk" to investigate the obvious collapse reason of the bridge. This time, it also showed unprecedented speed.
In less than an hour, the black box of the large black fish, lying in more than 100 meters of deep water, was retrieved.
Later, the black box was immediately transported to the mothership by an aircraft, and then quickly transferred to the command center for data interpretation by small aircraft.
Less than half an hour later, the data in the black box had been deciphered.
Looking at the report in front of him, Miles' face turned pale.
"Sir, according to the data recorded in the black box, the 005th large black fish was attacked four times by unknown forces during a routine silent standby mission fifteen days ago!"
"The four attacks directly destroyed the hull of the 005th large black fish, and with the structure damaged, seawater flooded directly into the black fish!"
"The huge impact force and water pressure directly caused the 005th large black fish to be bisected! All the crew members on the 005th, including those who couldn't even make it to rescue, went down with the black fish along with it. The remains of 45 people have been found so far, and 93 people are missing. It's unlikely that the remaining 93 people......"
In front of Miles, a commander of the Black Eagle Village clenched his teeth and spoke.
After hearing his subordinate's voice, Miles' expression grew increasingly grim.
The knuckles of his hand holding the report turned white due to the excessive force.
The report in his hand, under the enormous force, became twisted and wrinkled, and even directly crushed……
Not just his hands, at this moment, Miles' entire body was uncontrollably trembling!
"Sir, now we......"
After a long time, Miles still did not respond. The commander of the Black Eagle Village in front of him clenched his teeth and was about to open his mouth to ask for further instructions.
Before the words were finished, Miles' voice abruptly echoed:
"What attacked 005? Why did 005 not respond in any way before being attacked? The sonar device on 005 was always turned on, why was there no alarm?"
One question after another, like a string of cannonballs, burst out from Miles' mouth.
Finally, Miles slammed the investigation report down on the table in front of him.
A pair of staring eyes, deadlocked on the subordinates in front of him.
Being stared at by Miles, the commander of the Black Eagle Village felt his scalp prickling and his throat drying up.
But in the end, he clenched his teeth and said:
"I'm sorry, Sir. According to the analysis of the technical department, no dangerous sources were detected before the attack on 005!"
"The only suspicious data is that before the attack on 005, the active sonar device of 005 detected several sonar signal feedbacks close to 005. The technical department analyzed that the positions of these sonar signal feedbacks are highly consistent with the location of the attack on 005!"
"However, according to the sonar feedback information, the sonar signals of these feedback targets are as similar to dolphins as can be. Whether it was these 'dolphins' that attacked 005 remains unverified..."
Dolphins?
Hearing the name, Miles' face turned black like a pot of rice.
If it weren't for his remaining sense of reason, he would have almost thrown the report on the table directly onto the face of the subordinate in front of him!
What is the large black fish?
The large black fish is a human-made, top-tier military weapon, made entirely of high-strength metal.
Even with a large-caliber anti-material rifle at close range, it would be impossible to penetrate its armor!
Such a defense mechanism would be destroyed by a group of dolphins?
Are those dolphins made of titanium alloy?
Are those dolphins installed with rocket engines on their bodies, capable of directly cracking open the armor of the large black fish?
"Continue the investigation! As soon as possible! No matter what means it takes, I want to see the results within two hours! Otherwise, all of you will wait for trial!"
In his anger, Miles slapped his hand hard on the table, unable to contain his fury as he spoke.
The originally handsome face among the Outsiders was twisted in that moment.
Before the commander in front of him could speak, Miles spoke again:
"Also, find out all the forces that can be dispatched! Find out what happened to 002 and 003! I want to see a result, whether they're alive or dead!"
The hysterical voice caused a shiver to run through all the commanders in the command center.
At this moment, everyone was as silent as a mouse, fearing to make any sound that might attract Miles' attention.
The commander in front of Miles was even more cautious, speaking with a stiff back and quickly turning to leave.
But only a few minutes later, he returned to Miles' presence again——
"Sir, we have found 002, 003, and 007..."
"Found?" Miles, who was still suppressing his anger, quickly turned his gaze to the man.
"Yes..." Facing Miles' almost rabid gaze, the Black Eagle commander spoke with a stiff face.
"Just like 005, all three large black fish, 002, 003, and 007, have been attacked with the same method and are all dead..."
All dead?
Miles stood there as if turned to stone.
The just-arisen hope was instantly shattered by this news!
Even before hearing the news of 005, or when the eight large black fish did not respond, he already had an intense sense of unease and a bad premonition.
But now, upon hearing the message, he still felt like thunder had been poured into his ears!
"How... possible?!?"
At this moment, Miles was completely stunned by this news.
......
"What did you say? All eight large black fish were killed?"
When the news was relayed back to the Black Eagle Village, hearing the message from Miles, Yarst's eyes immediately bulged.
"Yes, Sir. After the search, all eight large black fish have been found. Without exception, they are all dead!"
As Yarst listened to the voice of disbelief, Miles' hoarse and wretched voice quietly sounded.
Along with Miles' voice, it seemed as if time had completely stopped in the world.
Yarst's eyes were dull, and his mind was completely frozen in that moment.
As if a century had passed...
"How... possible?!?"
"This can't be!"
"Absolutely not!"
Yarst finally came to his senses and immediately erupted in a disbelieving, even hysterical roar!
"Bitch! Miles! Do you know the consequences of reporting false military information?"
Yarst cannot believe, does not want to believe the message he heard.
All eight large black fish have died!
The information conveyed is a catastrophic disaster for their Black Eagle Village, like an 18-level hurricane!
"Sir, I very well know the consequences of false military information. But this is all fact. If you cannot believe it, you can contact the Joint Fleet Command Center for confirmation..."
Just as Yarst roared in a frenzy, Miles' hoarse voice echoed again.
The hoarse voice was not loud, like thunder in Yarst's mind.
Yarst staggered.
His legs gave out, and he slumped into the leather chair.
Then, Yarst's eyes went black, and his consciousness instantly disappeared...
"Mr. Yarst!"
"Mr. Yarst!"
......
A chorus of cries erupted in Yarst's office.
In just a moment, Yarst's office was in complete chaos.
......
"Are all eight strategic large black fish of the Black Eagle Village silent?"
The news of the Black Eagle Village's large black fish is a core military secret.
But given that Yarst had fainted and the Black Eagle Village had previously mobilized almost all of the joint fleet's forces in the White Elephant waters for search and rescue, these secrets couldn't have been kept a secret from the world.
When the news spread, everyone who knew about it on Blue Star was shocked.
The impact of this news is even without a comparison to the news that Black Eagle Village declared against the camel mushroom!
What is the large black fish?
It is one of the three integrated strategic forces of the Black Eagle Village, and also the most crucial one!
Black Eagle Village has said many times before that whoever dares to touch their large black fish is equivalent to directly challenging Black Eagle Village!
And now, eight of Black Eagle Village's strategic large black fish are silent!
Ttouching one would make Black Eagle Village go wild, but now eight have been touched at once!
"Hiss..."
At this moment, people all over the world who have learned the truth can't help but take a deep breath.
And then, an unparalleled fear rose like a tidal wave in people's hearts!
The Black Eagle Village had already been on the verge of an explosion.
Now with eight large black fish in trouble, it's as if they're pushing the Black Eagle Village, which is like a barrel of gunpowder, into the flames!
"Oh no, oh no! Now it's really over!"
At this moment, countless people were filled with terror in their hearts.
Some village administrators, without hesitation, packed their belongings and, if they had an underground fortress, went straight to it. Those without a fortress bought plane or ship tickets directly or drove their private planes or ships to the North and South Poles.
Not only other villages, this moment even Krinovski, the administrator of the Polar Bear Village, had a throat dry and felt like running away.
Fortunately, in the end, he still managed to suppress the fear in his heart and calmly said:
"What exactly is happening?"
Facing the inquiry, the middle-aged man in front of Krinovski answered first:
"According to the information we have, a day ago, Yarst and the Round Table Federation issued their final ultimatum to the Camel, requiring unconditional surrender within 48 hours, but like before, the Camel did not heed Black Eagle Village's final ultimatum..."
"In the subsequent time, Black Eagle Village issued a command directly to their strategic black fish forces patrolling the Oil Waters, ordering all strategic black fish in the area to enter a state of readiness!"
"However, after giving the order, Black Eagle Village found that eight of their large black fish had lost contact. Then, Black Eagle Village made an emergency search and, by mobilizing all the joint fleet's forces in the White Elephant Waters and searching for ten hours, they finally found all eight large black fish."
"It was ultimately determined that all eight large black fish had been attacked by an unknown force and that, without exception, they have all died!"
The middle-aged man quickly summarized the sequence of events, handed a report to Krinovski while speaking, and then continued:
"This is the detailed investigation report. According to our investigation results from the Joint Fleet, the force that attacked these large black fish cannot be confirmed at present. However, there were similar sea creatures around all the large black fish in their final moments..."
Taking the report, Krinovski carefully examined it.
It took nearly half an hour before Krinovski finally put down the report in his hands.
It took another half hour of pondering before he slowly opened his mouth and spoke:
"Simon, do you suspect that those large black fish were destroyed by the 'dolphins'?"
On hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sir. Although there is no evidence, the investigation reports from Black Eagle Village all show the same trace of 'dolphins.' I do not think this is a coincidence..."
Krinovski furrowed his brow.
The middle-aged man in front of him, Simon, was his confidant and also the head of their Polar Bear Village's intelligence system.
Krinovski had no doubts about Simon's abilities.
Similarly, Krinovski did not doubt the analysis of Simon just now.
If their intelligence is correct and Black Eagle Village's black boxes are also accurate.
Then those dolphins that appeared last are indeed the best "suspects"!
Just as Simon said, there are few coincidences in the world. If the coincidences reach a certain level, they are not coincidences but "long-term planning"!
But...
Dolphins? What abilities do dolphins have to destroy a strategic black fish, such a colossal steel beast?
During this thought, Krinovski picked up the investigation report again and carefully looked at it.
As time passed, Krinovski's brows were drawn tighter and tighter.
"Dolphins... explosion..."
"After the dolphins left, did it explode?"
"Does that mean these dolphins were controlled and had explosives on them?"
"Can humans control dolphins?"
"Or, are these dolphins not actually dolphins?"
"..."
One thought after another flashed through Krinovski's mind.
Only until the end, Krinovski suddenly opened his mouth:
Finally, Krinovski abruptly asked, "Simon, did any dolphins appear around the large black fish that disappeared in the Green Dragon Waters?"
On hearing this, Simon was taken aback.
Instantly, a glimmer of insight flashed through his eyes.
"Mr. Krinovski, are you suggesting that this incident and the previous one were carried out by the same person?"
Facing the inquiry, Krinovski did not respond. He had no evidence and could not make an accurate judgment.
But his intuition told him that these two events could not possibly have no connection at all.
Even more so, he was almost certain that both events were the work of the same individual or group.
And this force...
At this point, Krinovski's mind involuntarily flashed with the name of a force...
"If it's really you..."
Thinking of that force's name, Krinovski's eyes gradually became serious.
Before Krinovski, seeing that Krinovski did not respond, Simon did not continue the question either, but slowly opened his mouth and spoke:
"According to our latest investigation results, the black box recovered by Black Eagle Village did not show any information about this. Their large black fish was different from the eight large black fish from not long ago; that large black fish had been sailing silently underwater and did not activate the active sonar system. The data records in the black box also recorded sonar signals generated by other marine life around, but it is impossible to determine if there were dolphins among them..."
After listening to what Simon said, Krinovski's expression became even more serious.
His mind involuntarily flashed with some information he had learned before.
Previously, when their people visited Long Village, they had seen one of the most powerful weapons in Long Village—the powered armor!
During the visit, they not only witnessed electromagnetic weapons and some bizarre powered armor, but also some top-notch technological products - mechanical dogs!
"Simon, do you think those dolphins could be mechanical bio-robots made by Long Village?"
While pondering, Krinovski spoke again.
Mechanical bio-robots?
Upon hearing this term, Simon was momentarily stunned.
Immediately, his brow furrowed as well.
The term bio-robot was not familiar to Simon, but he was not completely ignorant of it either.
Just like controlled nuclear fusion, magnetic levitation, electromagnetic guns, and artificial intelligence, these technologies.
The concept of bio-robotics has already been proposed over half a century ago.
The earliest bio-robots were modeled after humans!
However, like controlled nuclear fusion and other technologies, the technology of bio-robots is still only at the theoretical stage until now.
Even the existing products can only be considered low-level products, or more accurately, failures!
Until recently, when they saw the mechanical dogs that could collaborate with powered armor in Long Village, it was the first time they had seen "bio-robots" with real tactical value!
Before the cooperation with South Heaven Gate, they had tried to introduce related technology from Long Village, even attempting to bring in the technology for powered armor and electromagnetic guns.
However, Long Village did not agree...
One thought after another, like a carousel, flashed through Simon's mind.
After a long while, Simon gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Mr. Krinovski, I cannot determine if those dolphins are bio-robots, but personally, I think the possibility is very high!"
"The world has no two identical snowflakes. The appearance of dolphins is too coincidental. Without human control, I think it's impossible!"
"Even if those dolphins are not bio-robots, I have good reason to suspect that the forces behind the dolphins may have biological technology that allows them to control dolphins..."
Whether it's bio-robots or biological technology for controlling dolphins.
These technologies have completely exceeded the current scope of blue star's technology.
At least, there is no such technology out in the open.
But now, the reality is right in front of them.
Too many coincidences make them doubt the possibility!
Pausing for a moment, Simon continued:
"Mr. Krinovski, you just mentioned the large black fish from Black Eagle Village in your previous statement. I think these two incidents may be completely relevant to each other, and we can judge them together!"
"If our judgment is correct, then the person or group behind these two incidents can only be..."
At the end, Simon pointed to his feet.
He did not mention who it was specifically, but the movement of his hand indicated his guess.
The place they were currently at was Long Village's hotel!
Although they had been in Long Village for a long time, the South Heaven Gate cooperation project was too important, and there had been too many things happening recently. Especially the recent confrontations between Long Village and Black Eagle Village were so intense that it was impossible for them to leave.
They had already visited the Long Village Foreign Affairs Building and Long Village to urge calm many times.
That's why they are still staying in Long Village now...
After a brief pause, Simon continued:
"From the information we currently have, Blue Star does not have any forces capable of mastering the two technologies you mentioned, at least not on the surface. If we really have to say that there is, then the only possible way is Long Village!"
"Although they do not have it on the surface, they are too mysterious. We have no idea how much power they possess. We have reason to suspect that they have indeed mastered this technology!"
"And another point is, whether it was last time or this time, the timing of the large black fish incidents was too coincidental. Last time, Black Eagle Village's large black fish incident happened after Long Village's rocket engine was destroyed..."
"This time, the incident with the large black fish happened just as Black Eagle Village was about to break off relations with Long Village!"
"The common point of both is that Black Eagle Village has angered Long Village. Then both have suffered from inexplicable retaliation!"
Retaliation?
Krinovski's eyes narrowed slightly.
While Krinovski was pondering, another burly man beside him had a glint of insight pass through his eyes.
He then directly spoke up:
"Perhaps, this is not retaliation!"
Upon hearing this, Krinovski turned his gaze towards the other person.
Looking directly at Krinovski, the burly man slowly opened his mouth and said: "If everything is Long Village's doing, then last time it might have been a retaliation, but this time, I believe it is more likely a warning from Long Village!"
"Warning?" Krinovski was taken aback, and then a glint of insight flashed through his eyes.
At this moment, his thoughts raced through his mind.
If it is a warning, then everything makes sense!
What is the warning about?
Naturally, it is a warning to Black and White Eagle!
Now, Long Village and Black and White Eagle Village are at odds!
Both sides are like firecrackers placed on the hearth, ready to explode at any moment!
Especially Black and White Eagle Village; they are not just placed on the hearth, but have been put on the barbecue grill by Long Village!
The current trend is that unless Long Village shows flexibility and retreats, Black and White Eagle Village seems to be determined to fight to the death!
However, it is obvious that Long Village does not want to retreat!
So, at this point, only other means can be used to make Black and White Eagle Village retreat.
Thinking of these things, Krinovski's expression became even more serious.
If this is the case, then Long Village's strength...
"Long Village... How much potential do you all have?"
At this moment, even Krinovski couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back.
The fear of Long Village in his heart grew again!
If all this really is Long Village's doing.
If all this is Long Village's doing, then Long Village's current strength is not just a nightmare for Black and White Eagle Village, but also for their Polar Bear Village!
What is their Polar Bear Village's biggest reliance now?
It's nothing but mushrooms!
Especially the underwater mushrooms!
Long Village was able to easily deal with the large black fish of Black and White Eagle Village. How much easier would it be for them to handle the large black fish of Polar Bear Village?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Krinovski was well aware that the performance of their own large black fish was significantly worse than that of Black and White Eagle Village.
Black and White Eagle Village's large black fish can disappear in the blink of an eye, let alone their own large black fish!
Thinking of this, Krinovski stood up and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Krinovski, where are you going?"
Seeing Krinovski's action, the others in the suite were a bit stunned.
"To the Long Village Foreign Affairs Building!"
Krinovski said nothing more, gave a simple instruction, and then opened the door and walked out...
... ...
Not long after, Krinovski and his party arrived at the Foreign Affairs Building.
After a round of small talk, Krinovski didn't keep the suspense going any longer and said directly:
"Davarisi, those dolphins, are they your new bio-robot technology?"
The sudden voice startled the elderly man in front of Wang Weimin, also known as Krinovski, making him almost unable to react.
He had completely not expected Krinovski to make such a sudden turn and ask such a question that was somewhat strange to some extent.
Fortunately, Wang Minyu is not an ordinary person. He has done this kind of work before and has prepared for it.
As a result, he quickly recovered his senses after only a moment, and then leisurely picked up the teacup in his hand.
He neither denied nor admitted.
Seeing this, Krinovski's eyes subtly shifted.
Although he didn't get a positive answer, he had almost confirmed his guess.
If this incident was not carried out by Long Village, then no other force in the entire Blue Star could have done it!
Their Polar Bear Village does not have the strength to do this. Even if they did, as the manager of the Polar Bear Village, would he not know if he had done such a thing himself?
And other villages would definitely not have the ability to do this.
Of course, there is also another possibility, that Black and White Eagle Village staged the whole thing themselves!
However, this possibility is much smaller than the possibility that Black and White Eagle Village will kneel down and call the Polar Bear Village the boss!
In the current situation, unless Black and White Eagle Village's brain is full of answers, they would not have done such a thing.
With no other possibilities, Long Village's attitude alone is enough to explain everything.
Thinking of these things, Krinovski's fear of Long Village reached a new height.
But then, a trace of bitter smile involuntarily appeared on Krinovski's face.
Dread?
He definitely should be afraid.
But upon further reflection, Long Village has too much in their hands!
So much that it makes one's scalp tingle and completely extinguishes any thoughts of confrontation!
Thunder, Thunder God, Double-Tailed, and Judge Drones!
Dragonfly and Yinglong fighters!
Sword Twenty and Sword Twenty-One stealth fighters!
A variety of high-speed missiles, super-cavitating torpedoes, satellite systems, and camouflage signal interference devices used in the desert...
Electromagnetic weapons, powered armor, artificial intelligence technology, robotics technology, magnetic levitation technology, nuclear propulsion technology, space stations, spaceports...
And there are the hidden ones, possibly existing magnetic levitation bombers, magnetic levitation fighters, and new large black fish...
Too many!
Just the ones that are publicly known or that they can guess might exist are enough to strike fear into people!
Just one of them, if pulled out, would be enough to make people drool!
And this is just on the surface. What else does Long Village have up their sleeves, besides these?
It's like this time's sudden emergence of the "dolphins"!
If it weren't for this time's appearance, they wouldn't know about the existence of these "dolphins" even if they had known about them before!
Krinovski even suspects that Long Village has really built the "Nan Tian Men"!
Although theoretically speaking, the possibility is extremely slim.
Such a large project, Long Village couldn't possibly have let out any news.
But, before Long Village brought out these things, which one did they know about in advance?
The only one that was "leaked" ahead of time, Sword Twenty, has been repeatedly verified since then, and all the information indicates that it was still Long Village's deliberate "leak"!
You could say that Long Village has to reveal their entire strength every time, and then they only find out afterwards!
This kind of foundation is almost like a black hole, and it's hard to describe how deep it is.
Thinking about the possibility that Long Village may have actually built the South Gate, Krinovski couldn't help but feel a dry throat.
At the same time, he felt a strong sympathy for Black and White Eagle Village.
Yes, Krinovski now only has sympathy for Black and White Eagle Village.
Apart from these, he can find no other emotions. These once formidable pirate captains are likely to have truly hit a brick wall this time...
No way!
To be more accurate, it's not an iron plate, but a titanium alloy plate that is heated to a high temperature!
After a long time, Krinovski came to his senses.
After another long moment of contemplation, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Davarisi, regarding the cooperation of the South Gate, we also want to take it further. Do you have any intentions in this regard?"
Further progress?
Wang Minyu smiled at the corners of his eyes, but kept his face expressionless, speaking slowly and leisurely:
"I'm not quite sure what Mr. Krinovski means by 'further progress' specifically?"
Upon hearing this, Krinovski directly asked, "Do you have a map here, Davarisi?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of a strange color flashed across Wang Minyu's eyes.
Immediately, he signaled the servant beside him.
The servant immediately understood and, not long after, a series of faintly blue glows appeared directly in the reception hall, rapidly condensing into a massive world map of several meters in size.
Seeing this, Krinovski couldn't help but be amazed once again.
Although he had seen this several times before, each time he saw the holographic projection, Krinovski couldn't help but be amazed by Long Village's technology.
Not to mention other things, just this alone is something that their Polar Bear Village can't hope to match!
When will their Polar Bear Village have such technology?
After a sigh, Krinovski stood up and walked over to the world map.
Under the gaze of Wang Minyu, after hesitating for a moment, Krinovski extended his right finger towards the holographic projection map and drew a circle on an area of the map.
