It was filled with bottles and jars, as well as some notes on potions and perfume making.
She pulled out an old notebook from the corner, opened it, and found it was full of pen sketches.
"She hasn't painted like this in a long time."
Xia Yibing shook her head, rummaged through the things and put them back where they belonged.
Then she began to rummage around the room, for no other reason than that these things were stuffed in by Hitzfeld after all, and they included her clothes and personal belongings, so she had to at least know where they were.
So naturally, she discovered a large cardboard box that Hitzfeld had hidden behind the book.
what is this?
After taking it out and opening it, Xia Yibing suddenly realized: It turned out to be a gift from Ethan and others at the party a few days ago.
But how come there are two new boxes...
She opened the two boxes as well, looked at the contents, and dropped her chin in thought.
……
The mobilization before departure was very successful.
It was just as Hitzfeld thought, she just didn't like it, not that she couldn't do it well. When she went out and saw those familiar faces, she was no longer nervous. The rest were just some trivial matters, such as arranging a room that everyone liked.
"Can I have a window room?"
This is Darent.
He expressed his hope to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery during his rest time.
"I don't want to live by the window!"
This is Ethan.
He insisted that installing windows in a submarine was dangerous and tried to convince Hitzfeld to have them welded shut.
After finally settling all these guys down, Hitzfeld saw a young man and woman standing at the end of the aisle, with unnatural expressions on their faces.
Ah, it's Madeline and Tenet.
Madeline was fine, she was just simply nervous - her childhood dream was really going to come true, and she still hasn't recovered from it.
But Teni was different. He really thought this was a dream. When he saw Hitzfeld coming over, he grinned at her. "So where is Alwin? How could I dream about you and not her?"
It took Hitzfeld some effort to make him realize the truth, and Tenney finally understood that he had promised his sister such a dangerous job.
He immediately refused to do it and tried desperately to leave the submarine. Neither Madeline nor Hitzfeld could hold him back, and his howling alarmed the sailors, who had to work together to hold him down.
"Boom!"
"let me out!!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"I want to see Alvin! I want to see His Majesty!!!"
After staring at the vibrating cabin door for a while, Hitzfeld turned around and saw a group of sailors suddenly look tense.
But the corners of some people's lips were still trembling violently, and they were having a hard time holding back their laughter.
"Your Majesty did get vaccinated, but I didn't think it would be that serious..." The girl shook her head, "Now it seems that she knows His Royal Highness better than I do."
Turney was detained.
This was also Alvin's order - once on the ship, Teni was not allowed to go out again.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the early morning of the fourth day.
After checking all systems and tanks, the Pierre dived under the control of Hitzfeld, crossed half of the city through an underwater tunnel, and surfaced near the coast of Wayne.
A group of people stood on the deck, with the dark night sky above their heads and their brightly lit hometown opposite them.
I felt a little sad, and a suppressed emotion was brewing in my heart.
Hitzfeld was about to say something when he suddenly saw a cluster of strong light exploding above his head.
That's Xieyang.
In Wayne Harbor, the symbol of Sara's royal power, the mechanical sun, suddenly rose into the sky, coating the nearby night sky and sea with golden light.
The crew members cheered immediately.
They howled, jumped, and danced in joy towards the light above their heads, and the depressing atmosphere disappeared.
"Is this the surprise she mentioned?"
Xia Yibing came behind the girl and looked up at Xi Yang with her.
"I thought she meant the submarine."
Hitzfeld nodded slightly.
"But this should be it..."
"A younger sun."
"A stronger mechanical Yang."
The fusion of the sea of time is subtle and secretly changes many processes.
Even if these influences are excluded, the alternating current alone... can largely solve the problem of charging the mechanical sun.
This was Alvin saying goodbye to them.
It is also a blessing.
Hope her warriors return safely.
Chapter 34: Deep Sea Journey 1
With Xie Yang's farewell, the Pierre dived again. This time, even the observation tower was retracted.
Hitzfeld sat in the control room, steering the boat while looking through the submarine design and structural drawings. There was a row of telephones hanging beside her, with the names of various systems and control cabins marked on them, so that she could call and give orders to the operators when necessary.
It was the first actual combat, and everyone was very nervous. Hitzfeld basically had to contact the entire ship every minute to confirm that everything was normal. On this basis, she also had to constantly study the structural diagrams to look for possible structural defects.
Xia Yibing laughed as she watched from the side - if there really was a defect, it would obviously be too late to check it now. She went to the kitchen for a while, and when she came back she brought a plate of grilled fish to the girl.
"Eat?"
Hitzfeld ignored her and concentrated on sailing.
The woman was asking for trouble. He ate fish while watching her make the phone call, and saw her gradually become familiar and sophisticated from being awkward at the beginning.
"Is the oxygen storage tank normal? Keep checking. Report every 30 minutes from now on."
"How's the reception of the propulsion shock? I always feel like it's a bit poorly received, we should drive it smoother, like we can't feel like we're in something."
"The fuel cell cabin is in good condition... I understand. We will also change the reporting period to 30 minutes."
"Go over there and get some people to restrain Agent Maps-Dallent and tell him not to sing in the restaurant!"
The Pierre was like a stealthy shuttle, its streamlined body parting the seawater and sailing quickly away from the coast of Wayne. As time went by, everyone gradually got used to it, and there was no need for Hitzfeld to press the Rubik's Cube all the time.
After all, there are two operating systems. Although the second manual system lacks sonar support and is blind, it can still adjust various parameters according to the water pressure.
Hitzfeld took the opportunity to return to the restaurant - this was the largest space on the Pierre, and she wanted to seize the time to hold another meeting here.
Before I entered the room, I heard a commotion. When I looked over, I saw Darent, Madeline and a group of people holding down Tenize. His Royal Highness the Prince was cursing and struggling frantically, his entire face flushed red.
Hitzfeld's arrival stunned several sailors for a moment, and Teni took the opportunity to escape (Dallent didn't dare to use his full strength otherwise he would break his arm), and quickly rushed behind the girl, panting, and glanced domineeringly at the people in front.
"..." Hitzfeld suddenly thought of Lily.
"I told you that you will pay the price!" Teni stretched out his hand and pointed at the sailors and agents one by one, "How dare you threaten a prince! Do you know what will happen if I take it seriously?"
"You will be convicted of a felony! You will be sent to Kevin! Don't even think about getting out in your lifetime!"
Darent got up from the ground and looked at Hitzfeld.
"Knock him out," Hitzfeld ordered briefly.
Teni looked at her in surprise, but before he could figure out what she meant, Xia Yibing hit him hard from behind.
His Royal Highness the Prince collapsed weakly, and a group of people hurriedly carried him back to the room, and assigned two people to look after him.
Hitzfeld sat down at the head of the table, watching the others take their seats on both sides, and asked casually, "How did he get out?"
"He said he was hungry, so we sent someone to bring him food. Then he held the delivery man hostage with a dinner knife and brought him all the way here." Ethan briefly explained the situation. "This was indeed our negligence."
He knew that Hitzfeld had a heavy workload, and he and others were staying here without knowing how to drive the boat or maintain it. They couldn't even take care of a Turnip, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Hitzfeld glanced at him first, then looked at Leon who was still in the corner.
Li Ang didn't come over not because he didn't want to, but because he was packing up his things - packing up the things in front of him and the stack of playing cards on the opposite side of the coffee table.
Hitzfeld felt that he could almost guess why he and Ethan were not seen just now. The two must be playing cards over there.
"I won't go into more details." She motioned for Xia Yibing to open the drawer next to her and took out a long scroll with a red mark. "Let me tell you about our next plan."
The long scroll was spread out on the table, and most of the agents and sailors gathered around to see that it was a map.
It is not an ordinary map. Its scale is enlarged and only the near sea and part of the deep sea along the eastern coast of Sara are marked. Most of the ocean areas are shrouded in fog, and only the detailed coordinates of islands, reefs and rocks are marked in some opened waterways.
"First, someone has to estimate our route." Hitzfeld tapped the map. "We are here now... Next, we will split into three sections to break through the fog and enter the Saranan Sea. Since we are sailing on the seabed, we will not have much information about the route to refer to. Something we encounter during the process, such as islands, reefs, and deserted islands, needs to be recorded. It would be best if we could draw a new icon on it."
"I can..." Madeline raised her hand. Seeing others looking at her, she simply stood up and said, "I am Bakinsa after all! Although I don't know how to drive a submarine, I have no problem drawing a sea chart."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Hitzfeld gestured to Xia Yibing again to take out a scroll with a green mark from the drawer over there and hand it to her.
Madeline unfolded them out of thin air and found that there was almost no difference between the two pictures.
The coastal terrain is the same, as are the details in the sea, but this painting does not include the gray fog area, so the sea is basically blank.
"This is my drawing. You can draw whatever you want in the remaining space."
"I have a question!" The white-haired priest raised his hand.
"You ask."
"Why don't we go directly southeast?" Torres leaned forward and stretched out his hand to draw a diagonal line on the map.
Everyone paid attention to his movements and found that it was indeed a straight diagonal line. Aisha Island was just southeast of Sara. Why did they have to turn around and go to the South China Sea first?
Isn't this a bit redundant?
But most people still respected the young captain. They had gotten to know her over the past few days and knew that she was more than just a detective... They didn't say anything, as they doubted whether she wanted to investigate the situation near the coast first.
"It's not an investigation." Xia Yibing shook her head and looked at Torres with disdain in her eyes, "Are you stupid... We are not the only submarine, why should it be our turn to do this kind of thing?"
"Then why do you think that is?" Torres was not convinced. He couldn't stand that kind of look.
If Xia Yibing wasn't a woman, he would have been ready to fight.
This guy's temper hasn't improved at all.
Hitzfeld shook his head and said the answer directly: "We can't go there without any basic intelligence."
"Everyone knows that Aisha Continent could be dangerous... It was swallowed by the gray fog nearly half a century ago. During this period, we tried various methods to investigate it, but without exception, we went there but never came back. We got no response at all."
"Although I am confident that we can find a random place to land there, make a big fuss and then come back and run away - I am sure we have the ability to do so, but this approach is meaningless, so before going to Elsa we have to take over the fruits left by our predecessors."
The sailors looked confused when they heard this.
Although they were carefully selected reliable guys, all they had gained during this period was knowing about the Pierre, and they were unable to make any inferences based on this speech.
The agents seemed to be thinking about something. Leon, who was coming over, happened to catch a glimpse of another "continent" west of Elsa because of the angle, and asked, "Are you going to Goli?"
The others turned to look at him at the same time.
"That's right!" Hitzfeld pointed his finger again and made several turns along the outline of the sea near Wayne, avoiding the route to Elsa and turning to the other side of Nanxinze: "We have to go find Mr. Ranger first."
After the meeting, Hitzfeld returned to the control room and continued to drive the ship.
It was only then that Xia Yibing discovered that the "Captain's Room" on the door of their room was not marked in white - it was separated from the other rooms and specially placed on the left side of the control room, making it very convenient to travel back and forth.
It should be to take care of the captain, so that she can go back to sleep quickly when she is tired, and come quickly when she is needed.
"You can go to sleep." Hitzfeld put one hand on the Rubik's Cube and continued to look at the nautical chart with the other hand.
"Or you can go to the library. After all, it might be your turn to come later. There is some professional knowledge that you don't understand yet, right?"
"I'll bring Madeline here when the time comes."
Xia Yibing spoke casually, stood beside her, stretched out her hand to rub her shoulders, and occasionally grabbed her hair and stroked it.
