Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Lesson 587: The Terminal of the Undersea

Simply put, the base was completed on Oshima, the flower monkey.

In the future, we will use this tent village as a foothold for exploring new heaven and earth for a while.

Is the investigation into the forest already underway?

"Yes, we are deploying a team based on the information on the native creatures that Lettie and the others crushed when they first landed." Several new species of protozoa have been discovered, including mushroom pigs (mushroom boars) and nectar birds (honeybirds). We've seen fruit and vegetable harvesting, and it looks like we can collect a small amount of ore. ”

When I casually asked about the current situation, I got a more detailed response than I expected.

I knew exactly what kind of operation the Knights' Vice Commander was handling.

“Non-Knights players are actively exploring the field, and the island itself is probably not that big, so a detailed map will be ready in the next few days.”

“Great. Just having a map makes it easier to do a lot of things.”

Observations by the communications surveillance satellite constellation Tsukuyomi can obtain superficial and rough terrain data, but if you want to get more detailed information, you have to walk down the tunnel.

Maps are so important that there is a mapper who specializes in them.

"Underwater divers are also at the centre of the investigation. Seed 02 - Wadazumi has already been discovered....."

I tilted my neck to the badly toothed eye.

Seed 02 - Wadazumi was dropped into the sea because there was no stable land on Oshima.

According to the calculations of the T-1s, it should have been concluded that there was no problem, but did something bad happen?

"It would be faster if you took a look at it." Put on your diving gear and dive into the ocean. ”

"All right, let's get ready."

I'm not sure, but I'm sure something's wrong.

I call on Letty and the others who were hungry in the Western-style cafeteria, put on their diving gear and head for the beach.

Well then, let's go.

Snorkel and goggles, a reinforced rubber drysuit, and a finned eye await, along with four knightly divers who have been in the care of the Knights before.

The diving gear we had was similar to the Aye.

With all of this, you can enjoy a swim without any skills.

"Leave it to me, Ledge will protect any sharks that come out!"

"I don't think there will be sharks in these shallow waters..."

Together with Letty and the others, they quickly entered the water with waves.

The island is surrounded by sand deposits and gently sloping terrain.

The softness of the bottom made it possible to force it up with the Water Mirror, but certainly this would not make it possible to build a large-scale building.

This way.

Eye will guide us through the telephone.

The transparency in the ocean is high, and I can see it well into the future.

As I headed offshore, the depth of the water also increased, and eventually the rusty rocks became noticeable.

Seaweed is also dense, and many small fish are swimming.

Oshima Hanamon no Oshima seems to have a rich landscape, both on land and underwater.

Look at that.

The eye that was swimming in front of him wakes up.

It was falling into the back of the seaweed that was swaying in the water.

"That's..."

When I saw what was there, I accidentally opened my mouth.

White smooth metal enclosure.

It's about the size of a large vending machine.

The seeds dropped from the Explorer command ship docked in the planet Izanami's geostationary orbit will expand its internal structure once it reaches its target location.

This is where the control terminal that is the starting point of the city appears.

It's buried, isn't it?

You're upside down, aren't you?

Seed 02 - The control terminal that should have started the wasp stood upside down with about half of its body buried in the sand on the seabed.

Can you use this?

It's impossible, the display is completely filled.

Eye throws a quick, simple response to my question.

I wonder if they have tried it all the time.

In other words, this is Seed 02 - the construction of Wadakumi......

Amy muttered to herself, saying no.

Ai nodded with a dark face.

I can't do anything. Rather than delivering resources, I can't accept orders for construction planning tasks. "

Strongly affirmed, we are wrapped in a dark air.

Well, there's no air in the water right now.

Does that mean we have to lift this piece of iron somehow first, so we can't talk about it?

That's what it is, but it's also quite difficult.

In response to Chiffon's words, Ai gives instructions to the four divers.

Accustomed to underwater behavior, they quickly attach themselves to the enclosure and try their best to lift it.

The sand is dancing for a while, and my vision is getting worse.

However, after it had settled down, I looked at the white enclosure, which remained unchanged until it was upside down.

Is the enclosure itself very heavy, or is it too heavy?

The divers are gesturing to wipe sweat in the water, but the enclosure is not slightly moving.

When we understood that sense of despair, Letty suddenly appeared in front of us.

I see. Then it's Letty's turn.

Lettie, what are you--?

Letty-san!? It's no use!

Shake off me and Ai, and she's got her pride in a giant centipede.

Push through the water and hit the enclosure.

Fughhhhhh!?

Letty's screams echoed immediately afterwards.

She was trembling in front of an enclosure that didn't move a millimeter or shake.

The seed control terminal has non-destructive attributes. Attacks like mining and logging don't hurt a thing. ”

"Hurry up and do it..." No, Letty was early. "

Rabbit's ears drooped, and Letty came back incredibly.

Since she's the one with the strongest arm, it's better not to think about punching her.

"When it comes to that....."

It was well understood that it was difficult to move the control terminal itself and do something about it.

Then there's only one thing I can do.

Okay, dig it.

I take out the scoop and stick it in the sand underneath the enclosure.

I used a basic < Camping > skill technique.

"'Terrain Maintenance'"

Originally a technique to level out rough terrain and prepare for the construction of a tent, it has a special character that allows it to directly tamper with the environment of the field.

Fortunately, the control terminal is buried in soft sand.

This will get rid of the crunchy sand.

I thought so.

"Wow..."

Could it be a two-stage stance?

Underneath the sand removed by the scoop was a crooked boulder.

The narrow tip of the white control terminal is firmly sandwiched between the two rocks.

”That's right. Even if you remove the sand, you'll end up stuck in the rock. At last, this rock could not be destroyed by mining."

I see.

I knew the Knights were in trouble.

It's a miracle to throw seeds from across the sky and get caught up in a place like this.

By the way, the sand will return over time.

Well, that's a lot of trouble.

As soon as I stopped Scoop, the enclosure began to hide in the sand again.

He jumps out again, looks at the control terminal with his upper body buried in sand, and covers his eyes.

This seems to have come to an end quickly.

Surrounding the white control device, in the thick and heavy air, we'll figure out how to deal with it.

But they are the strongest objects that have been systematically defended.

The surface is slippery and cannot be found.

"It's indestructible, indestructible..."

It bothers my head what's going on.

Suddenly, a subtle idea came to my mind.

"All right, let's throw it upstairs."

Yes?

As Eye leaned her neck and looked at me, I surfaced towards the sea for the time being.
