On the ocean, a fleet had just finished a deterrent exercise.
This was a demonstration exercise against their enemies.
Such exercises would inevitably be subject to enemy reconnaissance. So it was expected that warships from the opposing faction would be wandering outside the exercise area.
However, the exercise still required necessary vigilance and preparation for actual war plans.
Who knew—the enemy might suddenly launch a real attack, and one possible method of attack was underwater, via submarines.
Therefore, the underwater forces of this fleet were also on alert in the surrounding waters.
However, neither side detected the massive object existing beneath the seabed, passing through this exercise area like a ghost.
"How did they prepare for this exercise? To have such an oversight!"
After the threat was eliminated, the beautiful girl captain Tessa, sitting in the captain's seat, exited captain work mode and displayed the emotional behavior typical of a girl her apparent age, grumbling indignantly.
The warship TDD-1 she commanded had successfully eliminated a potential crisis.
During this exercise, someone had tried to cause the two major Cold War factions to misjudge and go to war.
Fortunately, Mithril discovered the intelligence in time and dealt with this threat in the deep sea, disposing of a warhead that had been placed there in advance and would have automatically activated at the appointed time.
As for who was behind it, they had naturally investigated clearly—it was Mithril's mortal enemy, Amalgam.
The enemy also possessed technology that led the world, and some of their technology even surpassed Mithril's technological level.
Their main activities were researching, developing, and producing new weapons, secretly deploying them in various regions for actual combat testing.
It could be said that most of the conflicts and wars in this world had Amalgam's shadow behind them.
This organization had also developed for half a century, with tentacles reaching all over the world and into every industry, secretly guiding the direction of this world.
One could see the organization's power—so powerful that they themselves couldn't fully grasp the enormous organization of their actual membership.
Initially, it was an organization that started with noble ideals. But after experiencing the baptism of years, it deteriorated, ultimately becoming ugly and bloated, transforming into a selfish organization that only aimed at self-preservation.
It had become a huge malignant tumor in this world.
"Thank you."
Coming to the break room, Tessa politely thanked Major Andrew for handing her a cup of coffee.
She savored it carefully, letting the caffeine stimulate her somewhat tired nerves.
Putting down the coffee, Tessa's gaze drifted toward one person—Lieutenant Colonel Richard Mardukas, who was also the deputy captain.
He had a slender build, and with his glasses and somewhat pale complexion, he didn't seem like a military man but rather like a technical person.
"Speak up, Captain. Did you get some technology from Mr. Gold again?"
After speaking, Richard withdrew his gaze, adjusted his glasses, and put down his coffee, then focused his attention back on the documents in his hands.
Seeing the captain's somewhat girlish hesitant behavior, he figured it was exactly as he had said.
Regarding the previous panacea, they had already experimented with it but hadn't successfully obtained that kind of universal medicine.
But the experiments weren't entirely wasted, because they had indeed accidentally created some new compounds that could really be applied to medicine, with quite good effects.
"Uh, this is... that..."
Tessa stammered because what she wanted to request this time was somewhat difficult, and she was afraid of being considered negligent in her duties.
Now, with Black Cat's confirmation that making the livestream content public to let more people see it could increase the energy bar, she also wanted to do this.
But she needed a reason, right? Otherwise, if she requested help in developing a film and television business, she would most likely be considered negligent in her duties.
Speaking of which, since broadcasting Mr. Gold's world's livestream content could increase the energy bar (she could at least get ten percent), what if her own livestream content was also made public?
Downloading her own livestream and making it public in her own world?
Sorry, even if this were feasible, Tessa's side couldn't do it.
Mithril was an organization that couldn't be made public. Doing so would be foolishly exposing herself—that would be deadly.
So she could only download other people's videos for broadcasting.
Suddenly, Tessa's expression became resolute. Hesitation would only lead to disorder.
"Lieutenant Colonel Richard Mardukas! Major Andrew Sergeyevich Kalinin!"
At this moment, she re-entered captain mode, and the two people called immediately got into position, all standing up and looking at her seriously.
"Please follow me!"
The two didn't hesitate at all and didn't ask any questions, just followed her as their captain.
Finally, they arrived at what Tessa considered the safest place—the Lady Chapel.
Correction—it should be said, a place where no one could eavesdrop.
Although Tessa trusted the people on this ship very much and didn't think there could be enemy spies, one must guard against others. She needed to reveal her secret in an absolute environment where the conversation between the three would absolutely not be leaked.
Yes, she had decided to reveal this secret.
If someday she also conducted cross-world invitations with other members, or had them come to her world, having advance preparation would prevent chaos.
"Regarding the order I gave a month ago to conduct disinfection in the Lady Chapel, I haven't given the real explanation yet. Now I'll tell you."
At that time, Tessa was in the warship's heart room, the Lady Chapel, which had special equipment that allowed her to synchronize with the warship, as if the warship became her body, enabling her to directly control the deepest parts of the operating system.
At that time, Tessa, who was almost finished controlling the warship, didn't leave immediately but seemed to make herself like a fish in the sea, swimming freely.
Later, she also went online to take a look and chat, and when someone happened to invite her, she curiously and accidentally accepted.
Honestly, at that time, she thought cross-world invitation was somewhat absurd.
As a result, she was really invited over, which scared her half to death.
After returning, Tessa didn't leave but gave the lieutenant colonel and major before her an order that confused them both—to conduct the highest level of biochemical virus leak emergency treatment in her area.
Only after confirming there were no problems did she leave.
Now, before revealing the secret, Tessa would first perform something that would astonish them.
She would download a video to the computer out of thin air in front of both of them.
So she first went online and entered Mr. Gold's livestream room.
Hmm?
What was this situation?
Tessa, who should have downloaded and returned to reality to explain the situation, was attracted by the current livestream scene.
He had put on power armor? And this scene seemed like he was being forced into a desperate situation?
The next second, she saw Mr. Gold suddenly leap fiercely toward that bottomlessly deep hole.
Although the power armor provided some auxiliary power that let him jump farther, it was at most about four to five hundred meters.
He couldn't possibly cross over.
Even worse, a sudden beam of light was shooting toward him.
In an instant, the livestream screen was filled with white light.
Then the image went completely black, making Tessa's heart clench to the extreme.
No, it couldn't be, just—
Hmm?
The screen recovered!
The scene that came into view left Tessa stunned.
Mr. Gold's new environment looked like a ship's bridge.
