ALL NOVEL Chapter 133 Jack and the Titanic
Western Ocean.
Near an unknown island.
A fishing boat is slowly approaching the island.
To be precise, this is actually a poacher's fishing boat.
Due to environmental pollution issues, fishing and hunting at sea have actually been banned by the federal government.
This is because the variation index of fish caught from the ocean is very likely to exceed the standard. If it flows into the market and is eaten by people, it is likely to cause some serious consequences to the human body.
Therefore, over the years, the Lu Yuan Star federal government has been sparing no effort to crack down on fishing and hunting.
But there is a saying that goes well: if there is a 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere;
With 20% profit, capital can become active;
With 50% profit, capital will take desperate risks;
For 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws;
With a profit of more than 300%, capital will dare to commit any crime, and even risk hanging!
How profitable is it to poach in the ocean?
Much higher than imagined!
Poaching those caught for eating is just the lowest and incidental behavior.
A larger part is actually cooperation with biological research institutes, pharmaceutical companies, materials companies, etc.
The vast ocean contains countless resources, which also means endless wealth.
The huge number and variety of marine life have produced unknown evolution in the unknown depths of the ocean.
Many private biological research institutes are following this trend.
Behind these private biological research institutes are often large pharmaceutical companies, which research and use these biological resources to produce drugs, cosmetics, etc., and make huge profits from them.
Especially in recent years, as ocean bans have been relaxed and coastal cities have opened up, the federal government has relaxed restrictions on the exploitation of the inland ocean, the May Ocean, in order to alleviate the resource crisis.
As a result, some people who did not obtain the mining rights secretly drove fishing boats, bypassed the military defense lines, and entered the deeper and more resource-rich Western Ocean.
Jack is one of them.
The "Titanic" under his feet is his "great ship", with a total length of 43 meters, a power of 960 horsepower, and a crew of 23 including himself.
As for his voyage this time, he received a reward mission from a private biological research institute, asking them to catch some exotic corals and pearl jellyfish.
Based on past experience, there should be more abundant exotic corals around here.
Jack looked at the chart, shouted the order to stop the ship, and then sent a diver into the water to take a look.
The divers quickly descended into the water.
Jack and Mate Louis stood on the side of the ship looking down.
Lewis talked to him in a relaxed manner: "Are you going to marry Ruth this time when you go back?"
"Yes," Jack looked at his best friend with a smile on his face, "I have already thought of the wedding venue. It is at the largest seaside restaurant in the No. 1 coastal city. I will give Ruth the best wedding."
Looking at the smile on Jack's face, Louis unconsciously revealed a weird smile: "Yes, the wedding will be very 'unforgettable' by then!"
"Huh?" Jack noticed that the tone of his friend's words seemed a little strange.
Just as he was about to ask further questions, a rapid shout suddenly came from the communicator.
"Captain, Captain Jack, you have to come here quickly! Something happened!"
Jack and Louis looked at each other, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly ran towards the captain's cabin.
"What happened?" Jack burst into the captain's room with an ugly face and asked.
Someone in the captain's cabin shouted in a panic: "Captain Jack, Bruno is dead!"
"What's going on?" Jack's face darkened.
Bruno was the name of the diver he had just sent out.
He is an experienced diver on their ship, and his diving ability is very good. How could something unexpectedly happen to him?
"Monster, it's a monster!" The other person's tone was also full of panic.
"What kind of monster? Tell me clearly!" Lewis looked sullenly, grabbed the panicked crew member by the collar, and shouted.
The crew member swallowed and said: "It was a big lobster that looked like a human. It was very big, at least two or three meters! It waved a pair of large pliers in its hands, and it pinched Bruno in two in one go. cut!"
"Is it a mutated creature?" Lewis asked.
Jack's face was ashen: "It must be! Damn mutated creature! I must kill it to avenge Bruno!"
Louis rolled his eyes and said, "Wait, Jack."
Jack turned to look at him.
Lewis said: "Maybe a mutated creature that has evolved into a humanoid can be sold for a good price!"
"Selling money? It killed Bruno!" Jack said angrily.
Lewis advised: "I didn't say not to kill it, but it is more valuable alive, isn't it? Moreover, killing it directly would be too cheap. It is better to capture it alive, sell it to the Institute of Biology, and let it Die painfully in torture!”
Seeing that Jack was a little moved, he added: "Selling it will definitely make a lot of money, and then we can give Bruno's family a generous pension."
"Okay!" Jack was silent for a moment and agreed with the decision.
Then, they quickly took action.
As poaching deep-sea fishing vessels, they are naturally equipped with weapons.
A dozen semi-automatic rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition, a personal rocket launcher and several rocket rounds, and two pairs of lightweight exoskeleton armor!
Lightweight exoskeleton armor has been in use for a long time.
Although the federal control over exoskeletons is quite strict, it is only strictly for external use, not internally.
There are always some people who are interested in them.
As a result, some lightweight exoskeletons have become popular among the people.
Some were dismantled and subjected to technical restoration.
The technical barriers to lightweight exoskeletons are actually not high. Some mechanical processing plants with certain capabilities can produce similar ones.
It’s just that the battery life and other aspects may not be perfect.
The two sets of Jack and Louis are this kind of degraded version of lightweight exoskeletons.
To put it more bluntly, it is the beggar’s best—the lightweight exoskeleton is originally the beggar’s version of the Land Walker Armor, and this one is the beggar’s version of the lightweight exoskeleton.
But Jack and Louis don't think so.
They named the two sets of "beggars among beggars" Poseidon, Jack's is Poseidon 1, and Louis's is Poseidon 2.
Not only that, they also used their relationship with the ship processing workshop to weld stamped metal plates to some parts of Poseidon 1 and Poseidon 2 to increase its defensive performance, apply a waterproof layer, and add backpack-type propellers. to adapt to marine operations.
After the two of them put on their exoskeleton armor, they came to the deck of the Titanic.
At this time, in addition to the technicians, the other thirteen crew members who will participate in the battle have also put on protective gear, picked up guns and ammunition, and are fully armed and assembled!
