090 Abyss
At the moment when Orlans and Sven received the special gift from the Liberal Clan, they announce their existence to the world by delivering promised equipment to reservation customers worldwide.
Sometimes delivered by drones, sometimes by missiles, the equipment was more advanced than when the headquarters building was in Sejong City, Republic of Korea, making the recipients hearts race with its superior performance.
[The Liberal Clan is prosperous.]
This information, known worldwide, prompted governments to mobilize their respective intelligence agencies to track down the Liberal Clan.
If they could only persuade, the nation securing the Liberal Clan would possess a powerful force to dominate the global gate industry in the future.
Among them, the United States was the most proactive in searching for the Liberal Clan.
The U.S. government dispatched a carrier strike group, including the $17 trillion supercarrier Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), as well as the Ronald Reagan and Theodore Roosevelt carriers, and nuclear submarines active worldwide, to the disappeared Pacific where the Liberal Clan was suspected to be. Likewise, the United Kingdom, with one of the few operational carrier strike groups, hastily sent the Royal Navys carrier strike group to search for the Liberal Clan. China, in the Southern Theater Command, also dispatched the Shandong carrier battle group to find the Liberal Clan.
Thanks to this, the area where the Liberal Clan disappeared turned into a global showcase of carriers, but none of them could find the location of the Liberal Clan.
Reconnaissance planes, unmanned drones, high-performance sonar, anti-submarine helicopters, spy satellitesevery available search equipment was deployed, yet the reason they couldnt find the Liberal Clans location was surprisingly simple.
Originally, the location of the Liberator was not in the Pacific.
The location of the new flagship of the Liberator, which they had desperately searched for, was discovered near the Atacama Trench in the Pacific, 12,000 km away from the disappeared Liberal Clan headquarters building.
Near the Atacama Trench, 160 km east of the Peru-Chile border.
The Atacama Trench, with a maximum depth of 8,065m, was a vast deep-sea valley with a total length of 5,900 km.
And in that deep-sea valley, near a depth of 500m, passed the Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine, Connecticut (SSN 22), the most high-performance nuclear submarine made by the United States during the Cold War.
The Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine Connecticut, also known as the submarine hunter or the assassin of the sea.
Commissioned in 1998, Connecticut was the second nuclear-powered submarine of the Seawolf class, which the U.S. Navy possessed only three due to its expensive price.
The reason the U.S. military deployed such a valuable submarine 12,000 km away from the search area was one and only one.
To search for the missing Liberal Clan.
Since the Liberal Clan headquarters mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the Pacific, the U.S. military, through strategic satellites, painstakingly analyzed the footage obtained and formulated the following hypothesis about the whereabouts of the Liberal Clan.
The first hypothesis was that the Liberal Clan had established a new base on an uninhabited island near the Pacific. Of course, there was no large island suitable for a base near the vanished point, but it was speculated that, to avoid tracking, they might have used their concealment ability early on and moved to a prepared island as a base.
Considering the technological capabilities of the Liberal Clan, it was highly likely that the new base was underground. Therefore, the current carrier task force dispatched by the U.S. Navy was conducting a search operation with the determination to explore every island near the Pacific by deploying landing forces.
The second hypothesis was that the Liberal Clan had submerged their headquarters in the deep sea. This hypothesis arose from the judgment that, given their ability to lift a building with 4 underground floors and 6 above-ground floors into the air, adding submersible capabilities to the structure would not be challenging.
The dispatch of the SSN 22 Connecticut to the Atacama Trench was based on the possibility of the second hypothesis. If they had chosen submersion as a method, the decision was made to choose the deepest sea possible to avoid tracking. However, exploring depths exceeding 8,000 meters was not feasible.
Even the so-called cheap but high-performance Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine, known for sacrificing cost for performance, had a maximum submersion depth of only about 600 meters. Despite this limitation, the U.S. Navy believed it would be sufficient to search for the Liberal Clans headquarters.
The existence of the increasing pressure of the deep sea, which rises as one goes deeper, is not something that can be covered simply by good technology. Because of this pressure, conventional submarines are mostly designed in a rounded shape to evenly distribute the pressure applied and reduce the burden on the hull.
However, the Liberal Clans headquarters, concealed in the Pacific airspace, was a building that was not designed with submersion in mind. Experts in the U.S. Navy analyzed that, even if the buildings structure was made of extremely durable materials, the maximum depth it could submerge to would be around 1,000 meters.
This depth would be sufficient for tracking with the Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine, with a maximum submersion depth of 600 meters. Therefore, the Connecticut utilized its built-in sonar to thoroughly search the deep sea.
The crew of the Connecticut, using the underwater search system specially designed for the Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine, which is specialized in hunting nuclear submarines of hostile nations with stealth capabilities, combed through the depths. However, they were unaware of one crucial fact.
In the deep abyss where nothing could be seen, a colossal submersible fortress, even larger than the U.S. Navys largest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford-class, silently observed them from just below, emitting not a single decibel of noise.
Not that they found nothing. Officer Emile Clark, in charge of the sonar on the Connecticut, shouted as he discovered a massive unidentified underwater object rapidly approaching from their direction.
Unidentified submersible detected! Bearing 235 degrees! Distance 15,000!
15,000?! From that far away!?
Its enormous in size!
Is it the target???
Confirmation unavailable. Its a sound weve never heard before!
The target were searching for is also very large. Please reconfirm.
Identification failure. Bearing 210! Distance 12,000!
Upon hearing Emiles shout, the captains expression turned pale. Swearing under his breath, he had never seen such a fast-moving object since Emile began his submarine life.
All crew members, battle stations! Torpedo tubes 1, 2, 3, 4, prepare for launch! Communications, attempt to contact the enemy.
Alert the approaching vessel. We are the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine SSN 22 Connecticut. Currently conducting a search operation for missing members of the Liberal Clan. If you have no hostile intentions, cease approach immediately and respond to communication!
Theyre not slowing down! Remaining distance 8000!
[Just hold it for now, Ill take care of the rest.]
Ho-chang was curious about what Myung-Jun was planning, but there was no time for further questions. The approaching monster, faster than any submarine made by humanity, was charging towards Ho-changs direction, mouth wide open.
In his mind, Ho-chang fervently prayed for the gravity anchor embedded in the new shield to withstand the underwater environment, gazing at the screen in front of him.
Damn, its horrifyingly huge.
The approaching entity had a shape resembling a massive shark, but with muscular arms and legs that were unusual for deep-sea creatures, exceeding the size of a nuclear submarine. With clawed arms cutting through the water, the creature approached, opening its huge mouth with sharp teeth as if ready to swallow Ho-changs Abyss.
And at that moment, an urgent command from Myung-Jun echoed in Ho-changs ears.
[Now!]
[Deploy the Void Shield!]
Instantly, along with numerous bubbles, a transparent energy shield expanded from Ho-changs shield, reaching a colossal size. The creatures mouth, wide open and seemingly ready to devour the robot the two were riding, froze as if blocked by a giant glass window.
Observing the abrupt drop in the crystal output supplying energy to the armor and shield, Ho-chang tensed. Then, he looked at Myung-Juns Abyss, which seemed to be rushing voluntarily into the belly of the monster, boosters activated as if about to be swallowed.
[Captain! Could it be?!]
Without waiting for a response, Myung-Juns Abyss swiftly passed over the monsters neck. And a moment later, the creature, contorting its body wildly, began inflating like a balloon, as if countless fireworks were going off inside.
At that moment,
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
With a tremendous amount of blood, as if trying to color the entire deep sea, the monsters body started exploding in all directions. Within that explosion, Ho-chang could spot Myung-Juns Abyss swimming towards him, holding a giant crystal.
[Is this the plan you were talking about?]
[I told you. Once I open its mouth, Ill take care of the rest.]
It was a ridiculous plan in itself, entering the stomach with less pressure impact, summoning hundreds of turrets, and exploding from the inside. Ho-chang finally understood the meaning of Myung-Juns mentioned plan just before their mission.
Ho-chang released the lock on the shield as if screaming silently. Then, the insane Myung-Jun spoke to his leader, clearly.
[How do you know whats inside and willingly dive into it? What if you melt inside the disguise?]
[Well, its coated with anti-corrosive material, so I think it should be fine. Just trust it. Its a device designed by the senior in the new base. I believe it can overcome any danger.]
[Isnt that more like love than trust?]
[Interpret it however you like. Right now, its time to disappear.]
As Myung-Jun and Ho-chang returned to the Liberator, the now-aware captain of the Connecticut urgently shouted to the communications officer.
To the Liberal Clan! I am Captain Billy Gadel of the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine Connecticut! Just a moment! Just a moment for a conversation
However, despite the captains desperate plea, no response echoed from the Liberator, just like when it suddenly appeared moments ago. It vanished into the abyss, disabling all detection devices as if teleporting.
Astonished at the fact that such a massive structure could completely neutralize the latest sonar, Emile Clark, a sonar officer, reported the results he had confirmed to the captain.
No reaction. Location confirmation is impossible.
Is it just undetectable?
Most likely. Whatever they used, it seems to completely neutralize our sonar.
Then its just invisible, but its still there, right?
Yes.
Can they hear us from there?
They probably can. With such unbelievable technology, its not difficult for them to eavesdrop on our conversation.
Hearing Millers report, the captain adjusted his uniform slowly.
Then, saluting towards the empty space, he shouted.
Thank you for saving us!
At that moment, a clear message sent from the Liberator appeared on the communication screen.
Beware the abyss.
It was the first warning message sent by the Liberal Clan to humanity, disappearing into the abyss without a trace.
