Chapter 614: Chapter 273: Deep Sea Weapon Chapter 614: Chapter 273: Deep Sea Weapon The artificial whale entered the water and immediately submerged below the surface, swimming swiftly along the seabed. Its speed was incredibly fast, even faster than that of a real whale. Moreover, its movements were extremely flexible, whether flipping, accelerating, or diving, it nearly matched the abilities of a real whale. Under the control of Yang Qi, it was like a real whale, showing no signs of being man-made.

This artificial whale was gigantic, with a total weight reaching a terrifying fifty thousand tons. In other words, the weight of the artificial whale far exceeded the buoyancy it experienced. Normally, something so heavy should not be able to float in water. However, powered by the strong propulsion of its high-energy battery group, and combined with the whale's streamlined biometric shell, it could swim freely in seawater.

Through a mind control device, Yang Qi continually operated the artificial whale at the seabed, using the Auxiliary Brain, and he comprehended its actual situation through the data transmitted by sensors scattered throughout the whale's body. After analyzing the data, he found that the operation of each subsystem of the artificial whale was very stable, and all of its various functionalities had met the expectations set during the design phase. Since the manufacturing process had been confirmed by the technology extrapolation system, and the mini-production workshop had strictly adhered to the production standards, so far, the artificial whale had been running perfectly without a single bug discovered.

Yan Fei could fully control the Auxiliary Brain, and naturally, he could see everything Yang Qi was doing through it. In the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei was like a god; he observed every move of Yang Qi with a God's eye view. What Yang Qi could see, he could also see. So when he personally saw the real performance of the artificial whale, he found it somewhat unbelievable.

This artificial whale clearly belonged to the realm of black technology, far surpassing the Earth's current technological level. Ordinary nations would need at least fifty years to produce it. However, this was just a creation that Yan Fei and Yang Qi had come up with in more than ten days with the help of drones. Given more time, they would produce more products that far exceeded Earth's technological level.

Yang Qi was a scientist; he produced the artificial whale simply for the convenience of extracting Uranium from seawater and had not considered other uses. But Yan Fei was different; his thinking was more practical. Thus, as soon as the design drawings of the artificial whale were completed, Yan Fei quickly recognized its other potential uses.

If torpedoes were mounted on the artificial whale's body, it would become a deep-sea submarine with enormous destructive power. With a total weight of fifty thousand tons, it could carry at least five thousand tons of ammunition, making it a submarine of truly terrifying tonnage. With such a powerful weapon-carrying capacity, a fully weaponized artificial whale could destroy the navy of a medium-sized country.

Moreover, the artificial whale was smart-controlled and fearless in attack; its speed was very fast, and it rarely made mistakes. Additionally, since it was entirely electrically powered, it hardly made any noise and would not be detected by the enemy's sonar system. If this modified artificial whale launched a submarine assault, even if its targets were sunk, they would be hard-pressed to know who was attacking them.

So in Yan Fei's eyes, this artificial whale was not only a device for extracting Uranium from seawater but also the most terrifying deep-sea weapon. With its existence, the complete safety of the Misty Island Sea Area could be assured.

However, this artificial whale also had a significant flaw: the barrier effect of seawater on electromagnetics meant that once it dove below 600 meters, it would lose contact with the control center above. Without monitoring from the control center, no one knew what actions the artificial whale would take on its own in the face of emergencies.

The reason it was now deemed safe for the artificial whale to go out and extract Uranium was that it had no weapons onboard; at worst, in an emergency, it might self-destruct, not causing any other accidents. But if it were armed, it might launch its weapons in an attack if it sensed danger. That could lead to significant trouble.

There was another weakness: the issue of the artificial whale's electric power. The high-energy battery group used had reached the pinnacle of energy storage capacity. The current high-energy battery group, which utilized Lithium Battery technology, had its energy storage capacity pushed to the peak by adding the Black Gold Element. No matter how much improvement and deduction was done by Yang Qi and the Technology Analysis System, they couldn't further enhance the storage capacity. In other words, the existing energy storage capacity was the limit of Lithium Batteries, impossible to break through. If a more powerful battery was needed, they would have to start anew from scratch.

The artificial whale could only be built to its current size and exhibit such speed and agility due to the constraints of the Technology Tree. Unless there was a significant advance in the Technology Tree, it was impossible to reduce its size. And controlling such a massive machine to move freely underwater required a huge consumption of electric power, a task only accomplishable by the high-energy battery group, strengthened by 1000 times in energy storage capacity.
