We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

…………

at the same time,

Genji Heavy Industries,

Underground, at the rock flow research institute.

Standing in front of the deep-sea submersible, Miyamoto Shigeo introduced it to Nami Ugetsu:

"Mr. Nagumo, after adjustments by our researchers, the deep-sea submersible used for the mission has been officially commissioned."

"We have made many modifications to it, and there will be absolutely no problems when exploring the deep sea."

"Thank you for your hard work during this time," said Nan Yun Yuyue.

The deep-sea submersible was quietly resting on the central platform of the Ganryu Research Institute.

A spotlight shone vertically on the body of this metal behemoth from above, obscuring its entirety at a glance.

The entire hull of the deep-sea submersible is streamlined, without any unnecessary sharp edges.

The hull uses the latest shape memory metal developed by the Rock Flow Research Institute, which can maintain its shape under sea pressure at a depth of 8500 meters and was specially designed for this mission.

“Trieste is a port city in Italy, and also the name of that legendary deep-sea submersible,” said Shio Miyamoto.

"But after thinking about it, we felt that naming it 'Tokyo' was not quite appropriate. Since the mission this time was to clean up the dragon embryos in the depths of the trench, we might as well call it 'Dragon Abyss'."

Nan Yun Yuyue nodded, her gaze falling on the line that extended to the stern of the boat.

Miyamoto Shio explained:

"The 'Longyuan' is about 15 meters long and nearly 4 meters wide. Its hull is divided into three layers: the outer layer is a pressure-resistant structure, the middle layer is a shock-absorbing and buffering layer, and the inner layer is a multi-directional magnetic resistance layer. Even if it is hit by a whale, it can withstand three direct impacts."

"The entire deep-sea submersible cost more than 3 billion yen, which is also the largest investment project of the Ganryu Research Institute this year."

As he spoke, he pointed to its metallic surface.

"This material is made to resemble the scales of a sea serpent. It appears to be a single piece, but it is actually composed of thousands of tiny armor units pieced together."

"Each piece can be independently adjusted in angle to resist the impact of water flow."

"According to our calculations, the entire submersible can operate continuously in the deep sea for 72 hours without resupply."

"What is the theoretical maximum depth that can be reached?" Nan Yun Yuyue asked.

“Theoretically, it can reach 11000 meters.” Miyamoto Shio paused, then added, “Of course, in practice, we recommend keeping it below 9000 meters.”

“That’s enough,” Nan Yun Yuyue said softly.

The deepest part of the mission area is only about 8500 meters, and the 'Longyuan' is more than capable of supporting this mission.

"In that case, I will arrange for the executive officers sent by Kassel College to go down into the water tomorrow."

Miyamoto Shio said.

"The day after tomorrow, I need to make sure the agents from the Execution Bureau are also preparing," said Nan Yun Yuyue.

"The ancient dragon embryos that have sunk to the bottom of the sea will inevitably affect the surrounding ecosystem and pollute the marine life with dragon genes."

"Moreover, the location where the Lenin sank was rather unfortunate. I'm afraid what awaits us on the seabed is not just an embryo preparing to revive, but something else as well."

Miyamoto Shigeo's expression turned solemn; he understood the seriousness of Nagumo Ugetsu's words.

"I have also contacted the head of the Longma family and asked him to prepare the Self-Defense Forces as well. We must not allow any mistakes to happen."

Nan Yun Yuyue continued.

"Now, we can check with Ye Sheng and the others to see what's going on at Kassel College."

Chapter 259 Conversation with Herzog, Countdown to Descent

wow——

wow——

On the southern coast of Hunan, the sound of rushing water can be heard.

I don’t know how long it took,

The executives from the Kassel College have concluded their training for the day.

Their main task in this training was underwater coordination. After countless tests and adjustments, Ye Sheng and others decided on the final selection of people to dive.

"So it's decided then. The rest of us will be responsible for diving, and Jack, you and Park Ji-hee will stay on the shore with the members of the Snake Clan to monitor the situation at all times."

Ye Sheng looked at his teammates and said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

"no problem."

Everyone present nodded in unison.

The Kassel College Executive Office deals with events related to the resurgence of the dragon race around the world every year.

Although the locations where dragons revive are diverse, ranging from desolate deserts to remote tropical rainforests, places like the Abyss are truly rare.

"Everyone has memorized the code, right? Once the mission officially begins, everything will be based on the code, and the orders from the Japanese branch will follow."

As Ye Sheng was speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened it and his eyes immediately narrowed.

"The Japanese branch said they have already debugged the equipment."

"The dive is scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow, and they also inquired about our training progress."

Ye Shengdao.

"The day after tomorrow... there's just enough time."

"According to Norma's reconnaissance, the waters around Japan will be quite calm the day after tomorrow, so let's choose that day. It'll be perfect, no need to delay any longer."

"We've become quite familiar with underwater operations, and now we're just waiting for the mission to officially begin, which will be exactly the day after tomorrow."

The team members were not surprised when they heard the news.

Ye Sheng quickly responded to the inquiry from the Japanese branch, indicating that everything was going smoothly and they were ready for the dive the day after tomorrow.

……

"Yes, the specialists at Kassel College also said they are ready."

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at Ye Sheng's reply and thought to herself.

He then asked a few more questions.

……

Not long after,

A thoughtful expression appeared on Ye Sheng's face:

"The Japanese branch asked me... if Kassel College has any other operational plans."

"For example, during the process of probing the ancient dragon embryo, did Kassel College provide any other equipment or information gathering requirements...?"

"The Japanese branch requested this from us."

The executives present were taken aback.

Although Kassel College did not provide them with special standard equipment, there was one thing they had specifically instructed them on.

Once the actual dive begins, the Secret Party will, in the name of the school board, force Kaguya to connect to Norma, thus achieving complete control over information.

However, this matter will naturally not be handled by these executive department specialists; the current principal, Angers, will personally issue a notice to the Snake Clan.

At the same time, Norma will use her knowledge of Princess Kaguya to break through the firewall set up by the Snake Clan.

As executive officers, their task was to quickly enter the password after Norma connected to the submersible to ensure a stable connection between the submersible and Norma.

In this situation, information asymmetry becomes crucial to achieving this goal.

Ye Sheng believed that unless the Snake Clan took precautions in advance, Princess Kaguya would be no match for Norma.

"However... given Princess Kaguya's skill level, if there were prior precautions, it would be difficult for Norma to extend his reach into Japan."

Ye Sheng thought to himself.

The research capabilities of the Ganryu Research Institute are in no way inferior to those of the Equipment Department. It has a large number of top-notch technicians to provide Kaguya with updates and defenses. In the case of fighting on home ground, Kaguya's methods are even more difficult to defend against.

"Just repeat what we told them before. We definitely can't reveal any deeper mission details to the Japanese branch."

All the executives share this view.

"I thought so too."

Ye Shengdao.

He answered flawlessly, giving the same answers as before, and the Japanese branch couldn't get any additional information from him.

"It's been fooled..."

Ye Sheng put away his phone.

"We have another day of training tomorrow, and we'll use that time to prepare for any special situations."

"I hope everyone will return safely from this mission."

"Ah."

Everyone was deeply moved and solemn.

Even though the Snake Clan repeatedly assured them of their technical prowess, diving to such a depth still carried considerable risks.

Moreover, no one knows what lies hidden in the depths of the abyss. The existence of the ancient dragon embryo will, to some extent, affect the surrounding ecosystem and cause some marine life to be influenced by dragon genes.

While most of these creatures die during the evolutionary process, some survive the mutation and become even more cruel and violent.

Moreover... their aggression will also increase.

"Hopefully there won't be any dangerous creatures."

Ye Sheng sighed inwardly.

and,

If the ancient dragon embryo has not yet fully recovered, then all will be well.

However, if it has reached the critical point of recovery, and once it stirs up a storm on the seabed, Japan is unpredictable in terms of the impact it will have, and those specialists responsible for the dives will likely have no chance of survival.

However... faced with an unknown mortality rate, these executive officers did not feel much fear.

The theme of the hybrid world has always been blood and fire. Although sometimes extravagance may obscure its true nature, the violence flowing from its roots will never fade away.

From the day they joined the Executive Department, everyone was prepared to die.

"I'll report back to headquarters later and see if they have any new ideas."

Ye Sheng made his decision.

the other side,

Chihaya Aine felt that she had adapted to the internship.

"Perhaps... it's not so bad to just stay this leisurely."

After comparing her situation with that of other interns, Chihaya Aine suddenly felt very lucky.

An intern at the weapons and equipment logistics post of the executive bureau has been cleaning swords all day to prevent them from rusting.

The intern initially thought the position would require learning some weapons maintenance knowledge.

But at the end of the day, I didn't learn anything about professional topics, but I did learn about quite a few brands of sword and knife care oils.

However, his internship supervisor kept promising him the best, saying that since the internship was so long, he should start from the basics and he would eventually be able to participate in more important tasks.

This also thwarted the intern's plan to gather intelligence through his internship.

He spent the entire day in the warehouse of Genji Heavy Industries. Although there was no danger, it was also very boring.

Interns working as research assistants at the Ganryu Research Institute also have a tough time.
