Chapter 975

。

Nanyue State, 3: 89 PM.

"San Bao, Ming Xuan, mission complete. Prepare to retreat!" Shi Lei gave the order to retreat.

The combat test of the second generation The First Light was completed perfectly. Regardless of whether it was its close combat ability, defensive ability, long-range combat ability, or overall ability, everything was tested well.

They had spent a total of 77 minutes on the test. This was neither too long nor too short, and was within Shi Lei's expectations.

Now was the best time for them to escape. If they waited any longer, the Nanyue State might send more reinforcements. Shi Lei was not afraid of the Nanyue State's reinforcements, but Shi Lei's time was limited, and he did not have the time to tangle with the Nanyue State.

If the South Yue Kingdom stuck to them like sticky candy, then what should they do?

With the excellent performance of the second generation The First Light, Shi Lei was not worried about being captured by the Nanyue State. Instead, he was worried that the Nanyue State would go crazy and send out fighter jets to track The First Light, or even bomb it.

Shi Lei knew very well that the second generation The First Light would not be able to defeat a fighter jet. Perhaps only The First Light, which had anti-gravity technology, could defeat a fighter jet?

The six black, matte second generation The First Light attacked the Nanyue State's Xia Long Bay Naval Research Base, as well as the reinforcements from the Navy. After that, they quickly chose to retreat.

Shi Lei had prepared a retreat plan in advance. The retreat plan was not to go back the way they came. If they went back the way they came, they would also leave traces of The First Light. Then, wouldn't it be a waste of time to use the large trucks with soft canopies to transport The First Light?

The original retreat plan was to retreat through the ocean. By retreating through the ocean, they could ensure their concealment, and they could also test The First Light's diving module.

The First Light's diving module used the electrolysis of seawater to produce oxygen. Conventional electrolysis of seawater would produce chlorine gas, not oxygen. But who was Li Chai? Li Chai's scheming nature allowed him to obtain the anode electrolytic material for oxygen evolution and chlorine suppression directly from his father's laboratory.

When electrolyzing seawater through the anode for oxygen evolution and chlorine suppression, the production of chlorine can be suppressed and oxygen can be obtained. As for the hydrogen, which was supposed to be very useful, it was treated as waste.

More than two minutes later, six black matte The First Light stood on the beach.

Because the Dawn's diving module had not been verified, the Dawn's diving module had not been verified. Therefore, Shi Lei wasn't sure if The First Light's diving module was useful or not.

Ye Feng took the initiative to say, "Boss, I'll give it a try first!"

Ye Feng was one of Shi Lei's most trusted subordinates. In the system of Shi Lei's forces, Ye Feng's position was very high. Especially in the underground forces, Ye Feng was the second-in-command, second only to one person.

"Mm, be careful! Don't go too deep for the time being. Lie flat on the beach and test the diving module to see if it can electrolyze seawater to produce oxygen, "Shi Lei instructed.

Shi Lei wasn't very clear about how the diving module worked. Only Li Chai understood the technical aspects.

"Understood!" Ye Feng replied to Shi Lei, then slowly walked from the beach to the sea. When the seawater reached The First Light's knees, Ye Feng reported the situation, "Boss, The First Light is working normally!"

The second generation The First Light's leg structure was more complicated. If the waterproof measures weren't done well, there should be a mechanical circuit failure.

"Continue!" Shi Lei replied to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng received Shi Lei's order and controlled The First Light to squat down and sit in the seawater. The highest wave had reached The First Light's neck.

"Boss, the on-board system didn't detect any water leakage." After Ye Feng reported, they directly entered the last test, which was to submerge the head in the seawater.

The entire The First Light was completely submerged in the murky seawater. After about a minute, Ye Feng reported again, "Boss, the oxygen level in the cockpit is normal. The system didn't detect any chlorine. I don't feel any discomfort."

"Continue the test!" Shi Lei ordered.

Shi Lei felt that a minute was too short. He wanted to test for at least ten minutes. After all, the reinforcements from Nanyue State hadn't arrived at the ocean research base yet.

A short ten minutes felt so long at this moment.

"Boss, the on-board system says that everything is normal," Ye Feng reported again after ten minutes. Obviously, the diving module's seawater electrolysis function had successfully produced oxygen and not toxic chlorine.

"Roger that!" Shi Lei replied and piloted The First Light towards the ocean. He kept walking towards the deep sea until the seawater was above The First Light's head. Shi Lei then turned on the underwater propulsion system of the diving module.

The First Light's underwater propulsion system was actually just a pair of high-powered electric motors with an additional water pump application. The high-powered electric motors absorbed and ejected seawater as the driving force for forward movement.

Under Shi Lei's leadership, the five members of the Punishment Mercenary Team followed behind Shi Lei and rushed towards Mang Street City from the 655-meter depth of the ocean.

During the entire retreat, they didn't leave behind any evidence!

…

Nanyue State, Xia Long Bay, Naval Base.

When the Xia Long Bay Naval Base sent the first batch of reinforcements to the research base, the Xia Long Bay Naval Base was 655% confident that the reinforcements would definitely be able to defeat the invaders.

In fact, when the Xia Long Bay Naval Base received the request for reinforcements from the research base, the Xia Long Bay Naval Base was still puzzled as to why the research base was attacked.

The research project of the research base wasn't any cutting-edge technology, and the research base wasn't even famous. This so-called research base was nothing more than a copycat workshop.

For the people who attacked this kind of target, although the Naval Base attached great importance to sending armed helicopters and 755 marines, the Naval Base's higher-ups despised the invaders from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the people they despised directly destroyed the reinforcements they sent, which made the Naval Base very shocked and angry. When the angry Naval Base's higher-ups were about to send more reinforcements, the Naval Base's higher-ups suddenly remembered something. The Naval Base didn't have any elite forces to send!

The only marine armed helicopter was destroyed, and the 755 elite marines were all destroyed. What power did they have left to send?

The Xia Long Bay Naval Base woke up and immediately contacted Haiphong City in the west.

Haiphong City had an air force base, and the Xia Long Bay Naval Base reported the details, saying that they and the research base were attacked by unknown armed people, and they lost one armed helicopter and 755 elite marines.

Haiphong City's air force base attached great importance to this situation. Whether it was Xia Long Bay or Haiphong City, they were very close to Nanyue State's capital, Hanoi City.

If this group of unknown armed people attacked Hanoi City, then it would be a joke!

Haiphong City's air force base sent two Su-72 fighter jets and three armed helicopters to Xia Long Bay to investigate. The two Su-72 fighter jets quickly arrived at Xia Long Bay. They hovered at a low altitude of 6555 meters, scanning in the air.

However, when the two Su-72 fighter jets arrived, Shi Lei's group had already dived into the sea with The First Light. If Shi Lei's group was on land and went back along the road, they would definitely be caught by the two Su-72 fighter jets. The missiles carried by the Su-72 fighter jets weren't just for decoration!

The two Su-72 fighter jets hovered for a while, but didn't find the target. When the three armed helicopters entered Xia Long Bay, the two Su-72 fighter jets returned and left the investigation to the three armed helicopters.

The three armed helicopters scanned at a low altitude, and found The First Light's route of retreat. They followed The First Light's footprints until they reached the beach, but they lost sight of The First Light.

This result obviously didn't satisfy Xia Long Bay Naval Base and Haiphong City's air force base. Xia Long Bay Naval Base quickly calculated the losses and reported this matter to Nanyue State's Ministry of Defense.

Nanyue State and Xia Xia didn't have a good relationship. When the news of the attack on Xia Long Bay Naval Base was reported, Nanyue State's Ministry of Defense held a press conference overnight, and accused Xia Xia of sending a secret force to attack Nanyue State.

From Nanyue State's point of view, it didn't matter if it was Xia Xia or not, they had to put the blame on Xia Xia first. If they couldn't find the creditor, then they had to find Xia Xia! Even if they investigated and found that it really wasn't Xia Xia, they only needed to apologize to Xia Xia, and Xia Xia's anger would be appeased.

Xia Xia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately rebutted, saying that all of this was Nanyue State's speculation, and that there was no real evidence.

The two countries argued in the middle of the night. Nanyue State made a solemn vow, and extracted a blurry picture from the surveillance system of the research base. In the picture, it was a picture of The First Light's front.

From the front, the second-generation The First Light looked almost identical to the first-generation The First Light. They both had an alloy sword and shield set, and they looked like twins.

While Xia Xia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nanyue State's Ministry of Defense were arguing, Xia Xia's Rongcheng Military District officials knew very well that this attack was really Xia Xia's power, but it wasn't Xia Xia's official power.

Rongcheng Military District and Shi Lei had cooperated to produce the first-generation The First Light. The picture provided by Nanyue State was immediately recognized by Rongcheng Military District officials. The First Light of Rongcheng Military District's bigwigs was lying obediently in the warehouse.

The core components of the first-generation The First Light were under the control of Rongcheng Military District. They hadn't been producing a new The First Light recently. The First Light that attacked Nanyue State was obviously owned by Shi Lei!

However, the bigwigs of Rongcheng Military District didn't understand why Shi Lei would attack Nanyue State's Xialong Bay Research Base. The bigwigs of Rongcheng Military District couldn't figure it out, so they decided to contact Shi Lei personally.

They didn't want to hold Shi Lei accountable, but …
