Chapter 5: The world is shaken, rising from the ocean, returning home from thousands of miles away!
After three consecutive days of meetings, the conference was attended by top experts in various fields, and after considering the opinions of Li Xiaming, a person from the future who personally experienced the end of the ice age.
Directives issued by the Ice Age Doomsday Committee, with the highest level of secrecy and priority, were efficiently transmitted from the decision-making level to every key node across the country via heavily encrypted fiber optic cables and radio waves.
Factories, the State Grid, research institutes at all levels, military bases across the country...
The massive and sophisticated national machine that is Tokyo University began its unprecedented operation.
Among the countless directives, one stands out as particularly significant, as it targets one of the Republic's most profound deterrent forces globally.
In a top-secret military facility deep in the mountains.
On the huge integrated situation screen, the global oceans appear as a frozen deep blue curtain, with countless red lights flashing across them.
The base manager has just finished a routine inspection.
He rubbed his temples, about to turn around and pour himself a strong cup of tea to refresh himself.
Just then, a dedicated terminal on the table, which was directly connected to the highest decision-making level and had never been used in decades, suddenly emitted a deep and penetrating buzz.
It wasn't the usual "beep beep" sound, but a continuous series of three long beeps followed by one short beep.
This is the highest level of emergency signal!
The base leader immediately held his breath and connected the terminal.
The screen lights up, displaying only two lines of bold red text:
[Notification to nuclear submarines lurking around the world!]
[Return to base immediately!]
The person in charge looked shocked.
Nuclear submarines around the world are returning to port... This...
The person in charge found it hard to believe, but hesitated for only a second.
As a soldier, obeying orders is his duty!
He looked at the technology and information department and said:
"A recall order is now being issued to all nuclear submarines operating in all oceans worldwide! Note: Return to base immediately!"
The moment the order was issued, the person in charge also felt an indescribable excitement. Such an order from above must mean that something big was about to happen. He was now a participant in this important historical juncture!
Furthermore, he could almost imagine the upheaval that would ripple across the globe that night.
Leaders and think tanks in various countries are probably having sleepless nights!
……
[Atlantic Ocean, east of the Norwegian Trench. The White Dragon has received orders to return to port!]
[Arctic Ocean, beneath the Lomon Ridge. The Black Dragon has received orders to return to port!]
[Western Pacific Ocean, outside the second island chain. Jiaolong submersible has received orders to return to port!]
[The subcontinental ocean...]
As the command center gave the order, countless silent behemoths awoke from the deep seas of the world.
The dark seawater and ocean currents were cleaved apart by the giant beast's body.
They were no longer silent; instead, they sped towards Dongda University at full power!
This commotion was naturally noticed by navies around the world.
North Atlantic Anti-Submarine Command:
"An unidentified underwater target is sailing at high speed in the deep Atlantic Ocean. It makes no attempt to hide and its speed exceeds 35 knots, no... even surpasses 40 knots!"
"My God, it's too fast! There's no way to stop it!"
"Could this be some powerful Eastern country trying to intimidate us?"
Subcontinental Ocean Joint Patrol Fleet Command:
"What just passed through the deep sea directly below our fleet?"
Huh? Another one passed by... Now it's three or four? No, the number is increasing!
Arctic Ocean Rice Federation Base:
"Madfak...we're surrounded."
At least four unknown underwater units are breaking away from the ice sheet in the east, south, and west.
"Nuclear submarines! They've been hiding in our sonar blind spot all this time?! Right under our noses!"
"Why are they all popping up now? Is war about to break out?!"
The Pacific Fleet Command of the United States was also coordinating abnormal underwater data globally at this moment. The commander exclaimed in shock:
"This quantity...this quantity is wrong!"
"How can there be so many! Far exceeding our previous intelligence data!"
How many nuclear submarines have they buried on the seabed around the world?
"Why haven't we discovered this before?"
"How long have these people from Tokyo University been lurking in the waters around us?!"
Fuck, the American expert who specializes in studying Tokyo University, doesn't everyone say that Tokyo University is not worth mentioning?
Those experts who study Tokyo University are all spies for the Tokyo Military Deception Bureau, aren't they?
Data on the return of nuclear submarines worldwide is like an avalanche, crashing down on every naval intelligence analysis headquarters around the globe.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for countless people.
This is all because a colossal deep-sea monster from the East has arrived with a force that has shocked the world—
Rising from the ocean, returning home after thousands of miles!
……
……
Just last night, amid global turmoil.
Li Xiaming was still playing video games in his bedroom at the base, playing games he had always wanted to play but hadn't had the time or energy for due to being too busy.
It's not that he lacks any sense of apocalyptic crisis; he's still quite relaxed.
Instead, Li Xiaming had already reported everything he knew to the Ice Age Survival Committee.
Now we can only rely entirely on the government and professionals.
Li Xiaming wanted to help, but his professional knowledge and skills were insufficient, so he couldn't do anything. Helpless, he could only rely on games to distract himself.
dong dong——
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Then Lu Yi walked in.
Seeing that Li Xiaming was playing a game, he said:
"Won't you get bored playing by yourself?"
"Playing for a while gets a bit boring, Lu-ge, want to play together?"
"No, I'm very busy right now."
You have no idea how big the turmoil is right now; even the United Nations is going crazy.
As Lu Yi spoke, he took out a tablet and logged onto the internet for Li Xiaming to see.
YouTube is currently flooded with news videos such as "Shocking! University of Tokyo's nuclear submarines have quietly spread across the world's oceans!" "Who is the master of the ocean?" "University of Tokyo, don't worry!"
Li Xiaming clicked on the comment section of a video, and the first few comments had tens of thousands of likes, which shows how popular this matter is on the international internet:
A netizen from the United States commented: "Oh my god, we taxpayers pay astronomical sums of money to the U.S. military every year."
They didn't even know that the University of Tokyo's submarine was right next to us! How can our safety be guaranteed? The government needs to give us an explanation!
Sakura netizen: "Uneasy!"
A Korean netizen commented: "Is a world war about to break out?"
A netizen from the North commented: "Don't worry, bro, the only thing the University of Tokyo can do with this kind of force is fight aliens."
Li Xiaming raised his head and looked at Lu Yi:
"Brother Lu, isn't our operation a bit too high-profile?"
Lu Yi smiled, his tone indifferent:
"Xia Ming, right now the most important thing for us is the impending Ice Age apocalypse."
In the face of doomsday, all strategies must give way. Revealing some resources or showing a few trump cards is no longer of importance.
