Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1426 Strange Weird Crystal

After returning to the home port and informing Yixian and others, Yang Sikang brought the equipment to the Bermuda Islands again.

Instead of rushing in, he used a drone to go to the dangerous area instead.

The damage caused by the previous explosion was more serious than he expected, but the actual effect was also completely different from what he thought.

The part he had built was completely destroyed, but the original rock was barely damaged at all.

The channel was damaged, but the damage was limited to the artificial part within the channel.

"This explosion was very targeted. The rocks were completely destroyed, but all the man-made objects were destroyed."

Yang Sikang felt a bit of a headache when he saw this reaction. This was obviously not a normal situation.

"Commander, this situation..."

Memphis looked at Yang Sikang hesitantly, and the latter said decisively:

"It seems that they don't want us to complete the construction here. Or there are some factors that we don't know about. But no matter what, at least we can be sure that this is not as exaggerated as we felt before."

The reaction they felt before was as if the entire underground part was about to collapse completely, but the actual damaged part they saw now was pitifully small.

That was all the bluffing he was talking about, but since it wasn't a natural occurrence, he had nothing to worry about.

"The construction here must be completed. The more abnormal situations occur now, the more important this place is. Haha, if it is man-made, then I want to see what else can be done."

Yang Sikang has made up his mind that the Marine Fisheries Research Institute is a way for him to directly contact Dr. Osta, who created the Antiks system. He needs the knowledge and technology in this area, and he also needs a chance to have a face-to-face conversation with Dr. Osta.

It would be fine if it didn't trigger what he expected after it was built, but if someone or something wanted to obstruct it, that would be another matter.

He took out his terminal and connected it to the security system here.

This wasn't foolproof, but it ensured that the door wouldn't suddenly close behind him uncontrollably when he needed it.

He handed it to Memphis, and after brief instructions, he took out his remaining pistol and held it in his hand, while his other hand reached into his pocket and held a mind cube.

Belfast was replaced by South Dakota, who arrived temporarily. Otherwise, Belfast would not agree to let him go there to check it out in person. As a battleship, South Dakota did have the ability to protect him in an emergency, so Yang Sikang did not refuse. However, Belfast stayed to accompany Memphis.

The two passed through a completely stable passage and came to the area affected by the explosion. The ground here and all the man-made objects in the passage had been melted, but they were not destroyed by violence. Instead, they seemed to have been melted by high temperature.

The melted debris re-solidified on the ground, and it had completely cooled down during the time they traveled back and forth, which was obviously not normal.

The strange things that were previously found in the pit were not found among the metal wreckage on the ground. It was not until Yang Sikang and South Dakota walked all the way to the end of the passage and were only a dozen meters away from the big pit that the strange things began to appear in the wreckage on the ground.

This is a kind of crystal that looks a bit strange. At first glance, it looks like crystal, but it is very turbid, as if water mixed with blue pigment was frozen before it was mixed evenly.

The crystal was very small in weight, mixed with a large amount of debris consisting of burnt composite material residue and liquid metal, but the surface was unusually clean, revealing the shape of the crystal.

This made Yang Sikang a little concerned. He tried to dig out these crystals, but found that once they were carefully peeled out, these crystals would disappear directly.

"The Mind Cube has more energy."

South Dakota suddenly said:

"When that crystal disappeared, there was a bit of Mind Cube energy."

"Mind cube energy?"

Yang Sikang frowned slightly. He didn't have such a strong perception, so he couldn't feel the slight change in the energy of the Mind Cube.

However, there should be nothing wrong with South Dakota saying this.

"I'll try again, South Dakota, please double-check."

"Yes."

Yang Sikang took another small piece from the side, and when he peeled it off, this small piece of crystal indeed disappeared.

"There is indeed Mind Cube energy, but it's very little."

“It’s strange if there is one.”

Yang Sikang stood up, brushed off the residue on his body, and looked at the big pit over there.

"There are a lot of these things here."

If these strange crystals contain the energy of the Mind Cube, then the amount gathered in that big pit must be no less!

Yang Sikang walked over and looked into the big pit, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

"This number is greater than before. Of course, it is also possible that the previous explosion blew away the debris on the surface, exposing the crystals hidden underneath. But no matter what, this situation is a bit bad."

The walls and the bottom of the pit reflected some fluorescent light, and the reactions were similar to the crystals they had just seen.

At present, the energy of the Mind Cube here seems to have no abnormal changes. Yang Sikang looked at the big pit in front of him with a frown.

Staying in this place like this is obviously not a solution, but if he uses the equipment, being able to go down also means that he will lose flexibility during the movement. If an explosion occurs during this period, he will have nowhere to hide.

Obviously, the ship girls will not allow this to happen, and he will not allow them to continue like this either.

Things seemed to have come to a deadlock, but Yang Sikang quickly came up with a solution.

"South Dakota, let's go back first. By the way, knock some samples on the way and try to collect them in the container given to you."

Yang Sikang gave an order and quickly retreated, his eyes fixed on the reflective spots in front of him.

He and South Dakota collected a small amount of samples, divided them into several portions and placed them in containers of different materials, and then the two quickly exited this dangerous passage.

Yang Sikang didn't turn on the communicator until they left the danger zone.

"Memphis, Belfast, how are you doing?"

"No problem, Commander." Memphis replied: "We see that the situation in the entire passage is very stable."

The group left here and returned directly to the home port from the temporary port. Before leaving, Yang Sikang of course left monitoring equipment here to collect data and confirm the specific situation.

But it was not until he returned to the development dock and took out the sample containers that Yang Sikang realized... things were not as simple as he thought.
