Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Her expression was clearly filled with fatigue and uncertainty. "The seabed after the eternal night is too dangerous, and we haven't found the minerals we're looking for. What should we do now?"

Zhou Shuwan looked into the distance, silent.

Her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the hazy sea fog and see deeper and farther.

In fact, it was not surprising that an earthquake occurred in the direction we visited this time.

Undersea hydrothermal vents are born in extremely unstable areas of the earth's crust, and there were very few of them in the world before the end of the world.

When the ice sheets melted, it was the intense activity of the seabed crust and the rise in temperature that gradually changed the climate and ushered in daylight weather.

However, no one expected that this regional geological activity would continue to this day and remain so intense.

Should I stay and look for a chance to re-enter the seabed to search for minerals, or should I look elsewhere...

She hesitated.

She looked at Qi Mingyu, who had already said firmly, "Fix the submarine first, and then make plans."

The others nodded, this was the only option at the moment.

No matter which path they choose, they need to repair the submarine, otherwise they cannot enter the sea and everything will be in vain.

Zhou Shuwan then released the submarine onto the deck.

The silver-white hull gleamed coldly in the sunlight, but at this moment, that light was obscured by dense dents and scratches.

There was a large part on the side that was obviously flattened, as if it had been hit hard by some huge force.

After seeing these traces with their own eyes, everyone truly realized how thrilling the experience under the sea was, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Zhou Jianghai was the one who knew the most about maintenance among them, and before setting off, he also received emergency training from the mother ship's maintenance personnel.

He put on gloves and carefully examined it, his brow furrowing as he did so. "It can be repaired, but some areas are too specialized. I'm afraid it won't be fully restored by just a few of us."

"We'll repair as much as we can," Qi Mingyu said gravely, "First, ensure basic navigation capabilities."

In fact, there was another submarine quietly parked in Zhou Shuwan's space.

But that was what they had exchanged with the Gu family, and it was also their last resort.

So if there is an alternative, don't use it if you can.

Submarines are extremely rare in today's world, and even in an entire fleet of warships, there is only one available.

Because of this, they had to repair the damaged submarine so that they could continue their mission without distraction.

Repair work began quickly.

Three big men, Qi Mingyu, Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu were responsible for the main mechanical and structural repairs.

Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun helped pass tools and clean parts.

But Zhou Shuwan’s role goes far beyond that.

She closed her eyes, concentrated, and could clearly "see" every bit of damage inside the submarine.

Broken pipes, loose screws, circuits corroded by seawater...

What went wrong? Where is the most critical point that needs repair?

So although Zhou Jianghai and his team were not very proficient in submarine maintenance, they avoided many detours and greatly improved maintenance efficiency.

On the first day, they mainly dealt with the damage to the shell.

Zhou Jianghai repaired the flattened side bulkhead with boiling point alloy plates and high-strength pressure-resistant adhesive.

Damaged propeller blades were also replaced.

They didn't have ready-made propeller blades, so they made new ones based on various alloys and tools available in space.

Although it is rough, it is solid enough and usable.

The next day, they began repairing the internal systems.

The cooling circulation pipes were completely replaced, and the electrical system was fully inspected and reinforced.

Zhou Shuwan took out some pre-apocalyptic precision instruments from the space to help calibrate the power output of the thrusters.

On the third day, they carried out final debugging and testing.

The submarine was slowly pushed into the sea and conducted a short-distance diving test near the cruise ship.
