Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1425: An Incident at the Muda Islands

Yang Sikang's game preparations went very smoothly. With the addition of Akashi, the whole process was basically ready in just two days. What remained was to arrange some minor details, and at the same time, different people came forward to "tell stories" to the ship girls to pave the way for the game.

However, before the game was about to begin, Yang Sikang received an unexpected news and had to leave the home port.

Bermuda's underground project ran into problems in its final stages.

At the temporary port, a mass-produced ship emerged from the gray fog. Yang Sikang then jumped off the side of the ship, landed at the port, and hurriedly walked towards the brand new Marine Fisheries Research Institute.

The construction of the above-ground part has been completed, and the Donghuang construction team has left after the acceptance. However, the underground part, which has a larger construction volume, has not yet been completed. However, according to the original construction period, it should have reached the final stage in theory.

He knew that Akashi had mentioned a few days ago that the construction of the last part here seemed to be a little difficult, but when Akashi hurried over today to tell him that some unexpected situations had occurred in the construction of the underground facilities here, he was stunned.

This temporary port is not far from the entrance of the institute. You can pass through the ground part and enter the underground passage through a secret door. The defense facilities here are only a framework and have not yet been activated.

He reached the interior very smoothly and reached the deepest part along the route that he had already considered many times.

The construction content here corresponds to the "dock" part, but the size of this dock is a bit large.

The height is more than four times that of a dry dock that can accommodate an Iowa-class battleship, and the length and width are basically several times the standard size. Such a huge dock has a highly precise multi-layer structure in its design, which is enough to accommodate different ships of various sizes, sizes and types.

But most importantly, the size of this place is large enough to accommodate an Arbitrator with a huge ship suit, even a Herophant.

In order to build this place, a lot of stones were dug out, which means that this area is strong enough and the space underneath is huge. If it were in other places, it might not be possible to dig out such a large space.

Of course, there are many other things in the original design drawings, but most of them require some special technologies, such as the mirror sea technology, so Yang Sikang has not included them in his construction list for the time being.

However, when he came here, the scene in front of him made him frown.

All the take-off and landing devices installed to facilitate construction in this place have been melted away. A large amount of metal has re-condensed after cooling and scattered at the bottom of the pit. There are still some metal structures that have not been completely melted on the top reinforcement layer, and on the four walls, the fixing and marking devices have all been destroyed by external violence.

Not only that, the energy response of the Mind Cube here is unexpectedly high, so high that Yang Sikang got goose bumps when he came here. He could feel it intuitively without using any instruments to detect it.

The energy of these mind cubes filled the entire space, but after Yang Sikang took out instruments to test them, he found that they were almost completely gathered around this big pit.

In the dim underground, he turned on the large lighting equipment brought from Belfast. With more abundant light, he discovered more details.

There were some strange crystals and molten rocks mixed together on the surrounding walls, reflecting various colors of light. In addition to the metal materials that had re-condensed after cooling, there was also a layer of black substance of unknown thickness at the bottom.

It looks a bit like the lava near a volcano crater, except that the color shining in the cracks is not the red color of magma, but a very light blue.

The entrance of the passage where they were located was in the upper-middle level of the entire space, but both the temporary passages up and down and the prepared equipment had been completely destroyed. It was also still a very high distance from the ground below, so it seemed that it would not be easy to go down.

"All the equipment here was destroyed. Not a single piece survived."

Memphis took the terminal and tried to test it, then reported the result reluctantly.

"It's expected." Yang Sikang said, "I just don't know how this happened."

According to Akashi's report, the incident happened so suddenly that almost all of the twenty or so barbarians who were working here at the time disappeared...

Fortunately, ordinary workers were not asked to do this underground project. Yang Sikang is most grateful for this now, otherwise dozens of workers would die at once, which is not a trivial matter that can be ignored.

"So, what is going on here..."

Yang Sikang stopped talking before he even finished. He looked towards the bottom of the pit. The blue light coming through the cracks there seemed to have become brighter?

Before he could speak, Belfast suddenly said:

"Master, the energy here is unstable!"

At the same time, Memphis reached out and grabbed Yang Sikang, but Yang Sikang also reacted quickly.

The three of them quickly left the area along the route they came from, and ran all the way. They ran out for only about ten seconds, and the violent Mind Cube energy in the passage behind them came with a rumbling sound that echoed in the passage!

The road beneath my feet was constantly shaking with the huge explosions. The solid reinforcement layer fixed the rock layer above to make its structure stable, but it was still making ominous noises!

Memphis looked back, Yang Sikang stopped, and the reinforcement layer above their heads shone with the light of the Mind Cube, making the passage stable again.

The sound and vibration gradually stopped, and when everything settled down, Yang Sikang slowly exhaled.

"It's really sudden."

Even though he was very careful, it was only ten seconds from the time he noticed something was wrong with the reaction below, from the time Belfast realized the energy was becoming unstable, to the time the explosion occurred.

The barbarians who were fixed to the safe construction equipment for safety and convenience...really didn't have the ability to escape in time. And the initial explosion was likely to be even more sudden, after all, it happened during the construction process.

"Go back and check."

Yang Sikang spoke and was about to go back, but Memphis and Belfast stopped him at the same time.

"The explosion has just ended. What you should do now is to leave here first and come back with safer equipment."

Memphis said seriously:

"It is not wise to return to the scene of the explosion without preparation and protection. No one can be sure whether the explosion will happen again!"

Yang Sikang looked at the passage and sighed helplessly:

"Well, it seems I won't have the luck to watch the game I prepared."
