Dragon Race: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 351: Journey East Again
The sound of sea breeze swept through the conference room. If you closed your eyes and turned on two fans, you might think you were on a small boat floating in the sea, enjoying the sea breeze.

"Be careful..." Angers was about to remind him, but Lu Mingfei immediately answered the question hidden in the audio:

"Heartbeat, the heartbeat characteristics of a large reptile - it can be confirmed to be a dragon alien, but it is not an adult. I have destroyed an adult dragon alien before."

The enhanced "Lyman's Ear" directly analyzes and enhances the heartbeat hidden in the sound of the sea breeze. The heartbeat frequency is still obvious even after penetrating several kilometers of sea water. The strong rhythm is like a war drum beating on an ancient battlefield.

Ange opened his mouth in silence, then said:
"Indeed. The Equipment Department compared this heartbeat with the heartbeat signal previously saved by Kassel Academy. The two are completely consistent. Therefore, they determined that it was a hatching dragon embryo, and ruled out the possibility of other deep-sea creatures."

"This is a monitoring finding from the Japanese branch. They even took the initiative to submit a monitoring report to us. This is a favor from you, the 'Honorary High Priest.' You should know that in the past, apart from submitting a symbolic safety report every quarter, they completely ignored the academy headquarters."

The audio of the sea breeze disappeared, and the holographic map on the conference table lit up. The planet map quickly zoomed in to the waters near Japan, where a striking red light spot flashed red ripples.

"Then let the colleagues who are still working in the Equipment Department explain it to you."

The door to the conference room opened, and a group of guys wearing colorful and weird plastic shells rushed in and rushed straight to Lu Mingfei——

Principal Ange remained calm: "At least they didn't treat us like virus carriers and wear biohazard suits to see us."

However, when they saw that Lu Mingfei was not wearing armor, the enthusiasm of these "Masked Riders" suddenly decreased by more than half. However, they still walked up to Lu Mingfei and shook his hand and asked for a photo. They also asked Captain Lu when they could be recruited into the Sword of Revelation Legion...

Apart from the "Alchemy and Mechanical God Sect" at the beginning, nearly half of the personnel in the Equipment Department have joined the Sword of Revelation Legion, and the mental screening test set by the Chief Alchemist Sergeant has been 100% passed, without a single person failing the mental screening test.

All of them are top science students, bomb maniacs, and otakus. Without exception, they said they wanted to make weapons and bombs to go to another universe to kill demons, bugs, and aliens to save humanity...

It's so cool!
Not to mention that after joining, you can also learn the advanced dragon alchemy science that you have never heard of before, as well as the peak "dark technology" of mankind tens of thousands of years later, and the legendary alien technology; after passing the test, you can also undergo transformation surgery to wear real power armor and become a permanent technical logistics sergeant of the legion...

Even Vice-Principal Flamel had to lower his face and beg Finkel for mercy before entering the City of Miracles. This master alchemist was no longer addicted to alcohol, westerns and big waves, but immersed himself in the ocean of dragon alchemy - but this old guy flatly refused to join the army and go to another universe.

"The embryo's heartbeat signal was discovered by the Japanese branch of the Rock Flow Research Institute half a month ago, but the strength of the heartbeat signal at the time made those idiots think it was just a large deep-sea creature like a shark or killer whale... It wasn't until a week ago that they realized something was wrong. The heartbeat frequency data from the seabed was soaring exponentially."

Deputy Director Carl of the Equipment Department began to explain to Lu Mingfei and Principal Angers. The holographic image changed with his words, just like a PPT course that had been prepared long ago.

"Currently, the area is being monitored by the Rock Flow Research Institute. The heartbeat signal it receives comes from the Japan Trench, which is integrated with the Kuril Trench, Ogasawara Trench, and Mariana Trench, and is thousands of kilometers long. From a geological point of view, it is the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate. The Pacific Plate rushed under the Eurasian Plate, and a very deep crack formed at the junction. The deepest part of the trench is called the Tuscarora Deep, with a depth of 8513 meters. Before the Fitza Deep in the Mariana Trench was determined to be the deepest in the world, the Tuscarora Deep was considered to be the deepest in the world..."

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Carl, I'm sorry to interrupt your geography science class, but I think we should get straight to the point." Angé interrupted Deputy Director Carl's introduction.

"The Japanese branch used sonar to scan the depths of the abyss and determined that there is a creature hidden deep in the Tuscarora Abyss, a powerful creature with a strong heartbeat that is getting stronger. We don't know much about the Abyss, but we guess that it must be the best hatching ground and refuge for dragons, and the more than 8,000-meter-deep seawater barrier is its protective layer."

"At the same time, the Japanese branch also shared a top-secret file with us," Ange clapped his hands, and the holographic image changed from a trench map to a majestic icebreaker with a red five-star inlaid on the white bow. "The Lenin, the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker, originally belonged to the Soviet Northern Fleet. On the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this red behemoth violated the orders of the Northern Fleet and sailed to the Sea of ​​Japan. However, when it was close to Japanese territorial waters, it sent out a distress signal and sank to the bottom of the sea before the rescue ship of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces arrived."

"Based on the analysis of the sinking location, the Lenin is very likely to have sunk into the Tuscarora Abyss, and suddenly there appeared the heartbeat signal of a dragon embryo... It's hard not to associate these two things together. So the Japanese speculated that the Lenin was secretly carrying a dragon embryo..."

A large number of memories came to Lu Mingfei's mind. These memories all came from the time when he was trapped by the Everchanging Demon Lord in Siberia. In that illusion that he could never escape from, the Black Swan Port was frozen at a certain moment before it was burned down. On the way to destroying nine thousand filthy aliens, he read many archives stored in the port and knew that the Lenin was the ship responsible for delivering supplies to the Black Swan Port.

According to Renata's narration, Dr. Jung von Herzog, the head of Black Swan Port, and another mysterious Major Bondarev left Siberia on the Lenin. If the dragon embryos on the Lenin came from Black Swan Port...

Then it is very likely the bloodline of the decayed black snake/black dragon "Eusebeia".

"Eusebeia" is a god representing loyalty, piety and responsibility in Greek mythology. This black dragon, just as its name suggests, loyally guarded Lu Mingze, the incomplete "Black King" for thousands of years. After its physical death, it was used as a genetic experiment factory by humans, and then was forcibly controlled and awakened by Lu Mingze who escaped from Black Swan Port to defeat the Su-27 fighter group that attacked them.

In the end, the Dragon King who imprisoned Lu Mingze in the safe haven picked him up like garbage and threw him into a farm underground in Novosibirsk City 023 as the raw material for the "Golden Holy Syrup". He even had a clone of Lu Mingze/Lu Mingfei implanted in his head to increase the activity of his blood...

Fortunately, I finally got eternal peace.

But why did the ship sink in Japan? Was it because the trench environment there allowed the embryos to hatch secretly?

Lu Mingfei subconsciously thought of the White King, but this alien, which was the greatest threat in the history of the dragon race, had already been destroyed by Saint Leno and the two warlord-level divine machines. Its dragon bone cross was stored in the City of Miracles, waiting for the alchemist to research a more valuable method of using it...

After a brief thought, Lu Mingfei decided to go to Japan in person to take a look, and at the same time recruit qualified mixed-bloods from the Japanese branch as new recruits for the legion.

And Uesugi Eri... Lu Mingfei thought of the child who was born with a powerful but unstable destiny. Now, with the technology mastered by the Sword of Revelation Legion, perhaps the defects of her physical bloodline could be solved.

After recalling the brief time they had spent together in the past, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt strange, complicated, and numb inside.

The time when I went to Japan was when I was most fanatical about my faith in the Emperor. In addition to constantly "shouting in battle", I also secretly created a combat nun ritual for Uesugi Eriya, muttering all kinds of "holy words"...

I hope Eri is doing well during this period... and don't memorize the Japanese version of "The Sacred Words" too well.

"So what is your plan to kill this embryo?" Lu Mingfei asked. He listened to Deputy Director Karl's analysis while thinking.

"According to previous plans, they usually prepare a bomb and then let our executive department send people to blow up the target." Angé reminded.

"Indeed, we call this method highly efficient," Deputy Director Carl raised his chest proudly, "Our tentative first plan is indeed to blow it up. We will use sixteen Blu-117 modified bunker-buster bombs to be sent into the sea 7500 meters deep through torpedo thrusters. The bombs will then drill all the way through to the seabed and detonate simultaneously, flattening the seabed along with the dragon embryo! We also save the trouble of accurately locating the embryo's position!"

"I usually have full confidence in the power of the bombs produced by your equipment department," Anger nodded, "Then will the explosion of this bomb have any adverse consequences? For example, affecting the ecosystem, leaving residual substances, etc."

"In theory, it's OK. The worst consequence is that the four Japanese islands slide into the sea... After all, Japan's foundation is quite unstable," Deputy Director Carl began his geography class again. "From a geological point of view, it is located at the junction of the Asian Plate and the Pacific Plate. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur frequently, and this underwater explosion is at the level of a nuclear bomb. It is likely to cause large-scale plate landslides... Of course, this is only the worst consequence in theory. Under normal circumstances, it may bring some earthquakes and tsunamis to the coast of Japan..."

"But to be honest, Japan, which sits on such a fragile foundation, will sink sooner or later. Even if we don't bomb it, it may still sink. It's better for us to bomb it first."

"Stop, stop, stop! We are the Dragon Slayer Secret Party, not terrorists! Isn't there a safer way that won't destroy the country or the world?" Angers raised his hand to surrender to the group of bombers.

"Leave it to us," Lu Mingfei said. "The primitive electronic remote detection method will be interfered with by the spiritual realm of the dragon embryo. Then we will use artificial methods to dive into the depths of the trench to detect the specific environment and determine the location of the dragon embryo. Then we will decide whether to destroy it on the spot or prepare safer and more harmless purification methods."

"Manned deep-sea diving? I'm not worried that your current bloodline and spirit will be affected by the embryonic field, but a submersible that can carry people to the bottom of an ocean trench more than 8,000 meters deep is a technical challenge." Angé thoughtfully.

“This will also be handled by our army.” Lu Mingfei has full confidence in Lao Tang’s alchemy technology department. It doesn’t matter if they don’t need a submersible. With the power armor they wear and the “Word Spirit. Ark” (a Word Spirit that can move freely underwater without regard for water pressure and breathing problems), they can directly explore the deep sea.

"So when do we leave? Are we going to take my Sleipnir?"

"One day later. I need some time to prepare and say goodbye to my mother. As for the vehicle, I won't bother you. Our legion now has its own aerial vehicle."

Lu Mingfei responded politely.

"Your army's system is already completely independent and mature..." Angers adjusted his glasses, "Do you mind giving me a ride? I haven't been to Japan for a while."

……

Angers and the people from the equipment department left, leaving Lu Mingfei alone in the meeting room.

Suddenly, a figure in a small suit appeared beside him, put his feet on the conference table and sat down comfortably.

"Are you neglecting your duties?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Lu Mingze coldly.

"When my original body was trapped in the roast duck before, didn't I still show up to find you? Don't always make a fuss." Lu Mingze curled his lips.

"…What's the matter?"

"Brother, are you planning to go to Japan again?"

"Ah."

"Then... do you want to see the 'replay' of the last timeline?" Lu Mingze showed a sly smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

"You spent your first two rounds pursuing love and failing, and your time in Japan was the worst," Lu Mingze said with a smile. "Now, brother, you only need to take a look at the playback of the last round of timeline, and you can skip the stages of reasoning and uncovering the truth. After you arrive in Japan, you can just pull out your gun and kill someone, and then you will have cleared this instance, and it will be a perfect rating."

“No need,” Lu Mingfei refused. “I will face what I have to face, whether it’s heretics, aliens, or demons that haven’t died out yet… They will all be crushed by me and my warrior brothers.”
