Chapter 292 Sea Trial

"What about oxygen?"

"Simple, the soul candle in the West Sea can meet this need. Although it was not originally used for this kind of thing, it can indeed supply oxygen after it is lit."

A few blue candles appeared in the calloused hands of the old hand, something Charles had seen once, and it seemed to be the medium used to summon the little black man of paper.

He really didn't expect that this thing could provide oxygen.

After walking around on the boat, Charles nodded in satisfaction. As expected of a top ship designer, the other party has already thought of what he has not considered.

This level of transformation is no less than rebuilding a new ship, but these people actually did it in just one month.

"Yes, I like it very much. Although I didn't say it before, I will prepare for you the cost of the ship's transformation."

Hearing this, the old man with eyes showed a proud expression. As an ingenious designer, he hoped that every ship he designed would be recognized by every employer.

But he quickly threw away this emotion, after all, he is still in a state of being imprisoned.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the old man asked: "My lord, since the ship has been built, according to the agreement, should we let us go back?"

"Don't worry. There is still a sea trial." Walking to the deck, Charles snapped his fingers to the bottom.

The crew members who had already been prepared by the side rushed up excitedly and prepared for the trial voyage.

With the Narwhal issued a low whistle. She started sailing towards the dark sea.

After a few hundred meters away from the ship, Charles patted the side of the ship with his hand. "Dude, change one and show me."

"Ka Ka Ka ~" The gear machinery on the rear deck began to rotate, and under everyone's gaze, the steel plates on both sides slowly gathered upward like egg shells.

"Whoosh, whoosh~" All the ropes on the deck shot around in an instant, and the handle wrapped around the inside of the iron plate began to pull vigorously.

"Bump!" The two steel plates slammed into each other above, making a muffled sound.

If someone looks from the outside, the Narwhal at this time becomes a semi-elliptical iron ball.

There are no gaps in this iron ball. In front of the iron ball, several small thick glass windows are left, which is convenient for observing the outside from the inside.

Although it can be seen, the field of vision is greatly restricted, and it can only look straight ahead.

Since it is a sea trial, of course it is to test the diving function of the ship.

Under the leadership of the designer, the sailors went to the cabin to open the water injection valve.

As the water tank was slowly filled with sea water, the whole ship slowly dived into the water.

When the whole ship was completely submerged in the sea, everyone on board felt tightness in their chests, and they instinctively increased their breathing, which was like the feeling of water passing over their chests.

Sailor West's face was extremely ugly. He had a premonition that this mission might not be as easy as last time.

"It's okay, there is no water leakage, everything is normal." Charles quickly walked around the boat and walked directly to the cab.

The layout in the cab has also undergone some changes. There is a round raised screen at the front of the steering wheel, which looks like a very simple TV.

"This is sonar. We found it with great difficulty. Be careful with this thing. If it breaks, you will be blind at the bottom of the sea."

After the old man with eyes finished speaking, he pressed a red button with his hand, and the screen lit up.

"Beep~" A small white circle slowly spread out from the middle of the screen. After a few seconds the round started again.

Anyway, as someone who has watched TV, Charles certainly understands what this means, which is similar to the sound wave detection in his bat form.

With this thing, anything around the ship can be quickly reflected on the screen. Either alive or dead.

"Beep beep beep~" The sound of the sonar suddenly began to rush, and the screen showed that a large group of bright spots were approaching the Narwhal at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone in the cockpit suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and the old designer with eyes shook his hands like a sieve. He couldn't figure out why something came over as soon as he opened it.

Before everyone could react, a few big mouths with three circles of sharp fangs were printed directly on the glass of the observation port.

This scene frightened many people to scream loudly.

Just when Charles was about to order the launch of the torpedo, the hideous mouth on the glass disappeared, and several streaks of red swayed back and forth in front.

Charles glared at the second officer, Feuerbach, "Interesting?"

It wasn't an imminent danger, it was just the guy's shark.

Feuerbach smiled heartlessly, and patted the shoulder of the frightened, almost paralyzed old man. "Hahaha, Captain, I see that everyone is too nervous, so I'm just making a joke for everyone."

Charles turned his head to look at the bandage who was steering, "Take Hope Island as the center and circle around. Let everyone adapt to underwater work."

The silent bandage nodded, and began to turn the steering wheel.

"As for you, since you are free, come work with me." Charles pulled Feuerbach by the collar and walked towards the captain's cabin.

The work on the water is definitely different from the underwater work. As the captain, you must allocate the working time of all the people to ensure that each of them has a reasonable work and rest.

The underwater environment was darker and more depressing than the water, and the crew had a hard time adapting, but there was one person on this ship who quickly adapted.

Lily lay on the glass observation port in front of the deck, marveling at everything outside. Under the illumination of the searchlight, she had a panoramic view of the style in the sea.

Although it was pitch black most of the time, Lily still watched with relish.

Just as she was laughing as she watched a blue-shelled nautilus get knocked away by the sub, a large hand reached up and grabbed her in it. It was Charles' hand.

Putting her hairy head on Charles's hand, Lily said happily: "Mr. Charles, I just saw a purple glowing thing, so beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Don't look at it, it's still nothing on the island for the time being. If you go to the open sea, the things outside will give you nightmares."

"Oh, then can I watch it for a while now? I won't watch it after we go out to sea."

Charles supported her and walked towards the cabin, "Take your mouse to try the new underwater weapon, this is your gunner's duty."

Just as Charles raised his foot and was about to walk into the hatch, he saw the bandages in the cockpit waving to him.

Charles had just arrived in the cockpit, glanced at the chart next to him, and found that he hadn't driven too far, only about forty nautical miles away from Hope Island.

"Something was found..." The bandaged hand pointed to the sonar.

On the upper left of the ship there is a bright spot twice the size of the ship, which is constantly shining.

"Is it moving?"

"No...it looks...like a dead thing..."

"What is it so close to the island? Lean over and have a look."
