I am Noble

00616 Mermaid Queen

After the second wave of the disaster, human beings were limited in the number of years available. Ships crossing the Indian Ocean, for example, had to sail along the 50,000 coast, Pakistan coast, and around India for a while. We had to sail only to the continental coast, which led to increased navigation time and navigation costs.

Nevertheless, humanity's efforts to pioneer a safe and time-sensitive course have not ceased. The United States constantly wrote naval maps and created navigation paths to find and connect non-monster-inhabited waters.

One of the Indian Ocean routes that was created was one called the Indian Ocean Aorta. A route that connects Singapore from the Suez Canal. It refers to a path that is rounded but significantly broken without a straight line.

Since then, all vessels crossing the Indian Ocean have taken the Indian Ocean Aortic Passage. Ships carrying the necessary facilities for the manufacture of the sinking nuclear fusion also suffered damage in the Indian Ocean Aortic Belt.

“We should stop using the Indian Ocean Aortic Channel for a while. All vessels crossing the Indian Ocean must cross the continental coast. ”

“This increases the transportation time and costs too much. We need economic measures for that. Otherwise, the whole world is suffering from a crisis of the economy. ”

“Is the Indian Ocean monster the new Black Mob? ”

WCO did not have a quiet day at the request of national ambassadors demanding continuous day-to-day measures. They confronted each other and discussed, established, and looked for ways to do things.

From Nam Ki-chul's point of view, I wanted to cry every day, but I slapped him. No, this is Crystal Center! It's not a monster repellent center, it's an international marketplace that regulates the distribution and distribution of crystals! Why are you talking about killing monsters in the WCO?

There were no lights out at the White House at this time when WCO was suffering from body weight.

“Now that the American economy is alive, the ban on the passage of the Indian Ocean is going to be very serious. ”

“Is that it? ”

“Since the second wave of the penalty, the distance traveled is more than twice as long and the cost of transportation has increased too much. The total cost of shipping in the sea will increase by at least three percent. ”

3%. It's a small figure at first glance, but it's a huge figure at national and global scale. even if it's limited to the cost of shipping at sea.

The Ministry of Finance was busy trying to figure out how much damage the Indian Ocean Monster could have caused to the U.S. economy, and the Ministry of Defense was troubled by an estimate of how much effort it would take to defeat the Indian Ocean Monster. And President Vissi had already been a pain in the ass about what else to say to Janice.

“So, what was the determination of this monster? ”

“Well, I couldn't measure. ”

“Does that make sense? How much money have we spent trying to get MD nets all over the planet? ”

Vichy is furious. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The United States is the only country in the world that has global MD networks installed and operated at all times. South Korea's ambitious next-generation MD network, ZMD, is more powerful, but it is still difficult to cover the Eurasian region. Lack of XS-3 sub-orbital satellites supplied by Lockheed Martin.

Anyway, when you're spending that kind of money, you can't really measure it in this important situation. ’Rani! How can I not be angry as a president who has to say sorry to Parliament every time because of the budget?

“That's a little weird. At the time, there were three satellites watching the air. But we couldn't detect the determination of one of the prayer monsters. The MD network did not have a full response to the presence of monsters. ”

“Must be a triple malfunction. Or maybe there was a problem with the system. ”

The North American air commander was somewhat unfair. Satellite 3 converges to zero with no possibility of simultaneous failure. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with the subsequent inspection.

Computational records show that Satellite 3 was operating normally at the time. However, there is a record that monsters have never appeared in the MD network, so demons can mourn.

Vice President Child Green spoke out.

“Mr. President, but think about this. ”

“What?”

Vissi's words soften at times. He is a man who shouts and gets angry without hesitation at his neighbours, but as much as one Vice President Child Green is serving as an old boss. He is a figure who will lead the next United States of America and is also the chairman of the watch club that Yu Ung has joined. It looks like the latter is heavier than the former, but let's move on.

“Our United States MD network is a frequency measurement crystal energy detection system developed by Quilcamsa Co., Ltd. It detects the crystal energy of a monster remotely and tracks its movement. ”

“That's right."

“But weren't there monsters that didn't work that way? ”

Then, my neighbours shouted. It was only then that I realized that silicon-based monsters had such characteristics.

Unlike most carbon-based monsters, silicon-based monsters made up of machinery have a similar Freon water supply layer to nanorobots in vitro forming armor. This armor inherently blocks U.S.-based fluoroscopy of the MD network.

“But if you look at this Korean video, it's completely different from a silicon-based monster. This is a carbon-based organism, no matter how much bone and flesh you look at it. ”

“I'm not saying that the Indian Ocean monster is a silicon-based monster. It could be the same, or similar, monster that's blocking the tracking of our American MD network. This means that the MD network can't prepare him for a move or an ambush. The situation is very serious. ”

Then the sergeant realized what Child Green was trying to say. Even underwater MD networks had the advantage of being traceable up to a certain depth. But according to him, that characteristic is meaningless to the Indian Ocean monster.

“Wouldn't it be possible with a ZMD network? Isn't this the next generation of tracking grid capable of tracking silicon-based monsters? ”

“But the ZMD network has a defining flaw. The tracking angle is too small to narrow it down. So we've launched a lot of satellites, and we haven't put the whole of Eurasia within range yet. ”

“Then if we move the satellite.... ”

“It's inefficient, and the ZMD network is also undetectable from below sea level. If you move below 100 meters, the ZMD grid will be useless. It's too late after he shows up. ”

I was also excellent at my job because I was from the information department. Vissi was lightly amazed inside.

“I understand how difficult it is to track. But wouldn't Janice be enough to wipe them out? Even that difficult Beringshark defeated Janis. ”

“Yes, sir. I think you need to work with Janice on a countermeasure. ”

“We have come to a great conclusion, so please connect us quickly. ”

“Yes, Mr. President! ”

The White House is once again busy. Child Green sits motionless and closes his eyes as his side workers get up to find their work. Vissi, who was just trying to talk to me, stopped thinking about something deep. I didn't think I should interrupt.

Child Green, who was left alone, continued to think.

‘Is it really Black'? ’

Black rank is the highest monster rank that exists. The Indian Ocean Monster was enormous enough in size to match the previous Beringshark. No, I'm guessing it's just a few legs instead of looking at the real thing, so it might actually be bigger. That's why the Indian Ocean Monster is classified as Black.

But is it really that easy? Child Green failed to notice that the Indian Ocean monster had never been caught by the MD network. Silicon-based creature monsters are more plausible, but isn't it too strange that they're not caught at all by the MD network, even though they're carbon-based creature monsters?

‘Do you…… have a higher rank of Black? ’

Maybe Yu Yu Ung knows the answer. Child Green could not erase that feeling. He opened his eyes and woke up from his seat.

At intermittent intervals, V-23 sat down in turn in the house of the Obsidian. The mansion tower, which turned into emergency work mode, was in a state of tension.

“Are we there yet? ”

“Not yet. There's one more. Dr. Choi Yoon.”

“What's your location? ”

“I'll be there in a minute... Ah, there he is! ”

V-23, flying from afar, is now being caught visually, not just by radar. Heavy silent gas casually lands on the landing platform and the rotor begins to slow down.

Choi Yoon and Regina, both dressed in fine suits, disembarked from V-23. It was on the way from Sejong City Research Center. The two entered the main hall under the direction of the mansion security. Everyone else had already arrived in the reception room.

“We're the last. Sorry I'm late.”

“No, I understand, Dr. Choi Yun. I'm a man, too.”

“ ……. ”

Choi Yun was slightly embarrassed. Why do you have to look at me like that and tell me I'm okay with that little accent?

Choi Yoon's couple sat in an empty seat and looked around the members of the reception room, decorating it like a conference room. There were all kinds of people who were at the heart of Janice.

Prince Anshul, three members of the advisory board including Jaejin Son, Yoon Choi, Regina, Garen, Nam Ki Chul and Tae-jun. Sitting here with Yeong-woong and Jeong Hyo-ju, a brutal UN Security Council was created which told them to go away.

Finally, Choi Yoon's gaze shifted to Nami. I didn't think she would be here when she left for the sea.

“Nami? ”

“It's been a long time, Regina, and you. ”

Regina was flawed, but soon treated her with a smile as if she were an old friend.

“When did you get here? I'll tell you when I get here. ”

“Not long. What happened to the baby? ”

“Baby?”

“I'll tell you about that next time. ”

After the story seems to fall into the wrong place, Yusuf stepped forward to ventilate. The crowd focuses on him again. When he clears his throat, the Chief of Staff stood up and activated the projector. A big wall screen came up with a video.

“This is the Indian Ocean monster. ”

“Professor Knitro, no. It broke Professor Knitro's heart. ”

When Garen saw this coming, Choi Yun thought he really cared about his disciple. For your information, the people at the Institute knew Nitro as Garren's apprentice.

Choi expressed his opinion by checking the pad computer.

“We checked with a friend in the United States, but all three of the MD network satellites that were monitoring the Strait of Arabia at the time were operating normally. Computational records show, however, that no determination was detected at those coordinates. ”

“A silicon-based monster, then? ”

Regina replies to Garren.

“It's not unlikely. But I don't think a silicon-based monster would disguise itself as fragile, biological skin with a sturdy metal sheath. ”

“You have a shield, don't you? Is there any meaning to the shape of the armor? ”

After Nam Ki-chul said so, Choi Yoon shook his head excitedly.

“The shield is certainly as hard as it can be broken unless it's nuclear, but that doesn't give up the strongest armor. So I don't think it's a silicon-based monster, it's a typical carbon-based monster. ”

“Then why aren't you on the MD network? ”

The relatively weak technical knowledge of Nam Ki-chul once again appeared. Yeong-woong said.

“Nami can explain that. ”

“Nami? ”

“Yes. He has something to tell us. ”

Then everyone's eyes turned to Nami. Beautiful as a picture, she was never shy of the sight of spills everywhere. Standing up, she looks at the Indian Ocean monster on the screen for a moment and opens her mouth slowly.

“That's the ruler of the Indian Ocean. He fought with me once. ”

“ ……! ”

Everyone opened their eyes to the bombing declaration. Nami was a new type of monster with red crystals. You fought with her and you're safe?

“We withdrew without any results. But if I fight again, I will definitely lose. ”

“Then, it can't be.... ”

“Yes, it is. Nautilus has red crystals like me. ”

“Nautilus?”

“That's my name. It's shaped like a clam. ”

Before everyone was surprised by the word red crystal, they imagined a giant monster clam with octopus legs. Isn't that just horror?

At that moment, Lee-Chul, who had a flashing thought, opened his mouth with a face full of surprises.

“Wait, you're still doing that thing with the red crystal? Then……. ”

“Yes, I am weakened by the human form. You can warm yourself at sea, but you're only as weak as you look. ”

Nami added as she insisted.

“Nautilus is much stronger than I am. We didn't get the results because he took care of us. ”
