《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 813: Setting Sail
Advertisement
Today was the 4th of training, revising their plans and preparing weapons and everything else needed for the battle ahead.
The selected soldiers had just finished their simulation training and were only given 5 more hours to rest before assembling themselves on the field for roll call.
That's right!
They were leaving this night and not tomorrow morning.
Typically, if they travelled at an average pace, it might take 3 days and 15 hours to get to Magoon island.
But they decided to travel at their fastest pace, arriving within 3 days sharp.
This was the 4th day since they finalized their plans.
So they would leave by 9 P.M today, and arrive around the outskirts of the island on the 7th day around 9 P.M as well.
They wanted to arrive when places got dark so that they could send the hot air balloons in the air and locate the buildings on the islands..typically, there should be campfires and lights up around these areas, making their jobs easier.
Thankfully, pirates were a rowdy bunch, making this operation a little smoother.
Also, they had to have their air forces up in the sky to drop missiles if need be.
They were planning to go all out in this one.
.
Anyway, they planned to arrive around 9 P.M and use an additional 4 hours to locate the buildings and do any other necessary preparations for the time being.
Meaning they would only strike by 1 A.M.
Why?
Because by then, the many pirates might be drunk or asleep.
And even those who were still up dancing, singing and telling them, should already be somewhat weak due to the alcohol or tiredness.
Sure, they might still be able to fight and defend themselves, but that wasn't their best fighting conditions.
So they were already starting the battle at a disadvantageous point.

Nonetheless, one shouldn't look down on these pirates.
Many of them had become so immune to alcohol that it wouldn't be easy for them to get drunk.
They might get tipsy, but full drunkenness was a hard thing for many of them to reach.
Some had even fought terrible sea creatures while drunk and had also engaged with others after drinking barrels and barrels of rum.
So they weren't like ordinary people, as their bodies had been conditioned and adjusted to bear large amounts of alcohol.
Some of them drank daily, almost every hour whenever they were free.
So the soldiers didn't date to lace all their hopes on these pirates getting drunk.
Still, it was worth the shot.
.
That said, from the brief summary of what they were told about the pirate organization, they were sure there might be many camps belonging to different pirate Captains scattered around Magoon island and their target could be in any camp.
It was just that they didn't know how many camps were on the island, that's why they had to get the air forces to locate all buildings on the island, which would likely belong to the different crews.
So after they got the report, they would then divide themselves up into teams and head towards all camps.
Their target could be in any of them, so they had to attack them all.
One important key point to note was that on arrival, they couldn't get too close to the island yet because spies might be on the lookout.
So the Navy ships will stay put at a certain distance away, while those the soldiers and marines would get into the latest underwater boats and head towards the shores.
Were the boats military submarines?
Not really.
They were more like those used by tourists or researchers to view ships underwater.

One should know that the ship Manufacturing industry had been making these underwater boats for a year and a half now and was strictly for military purposes only at the moment.
But why didn't he just make a military submarine?
The real reason was because of the system.
The price for getting all knowledge on the full submarine design was just too expensive.
Heck!
He couldn't give out that many points now.
What if he needed them for a mission or something?
There was no way that he would go broke on points now.
They were less cumbersome and weren't as problematic as military submarines.
Heck!
Just the tedious piping, large engines and so on in massive Submarines would take a long time for them to construct.
So why not go for what he could pay for?
With tht thought in mind, he opted for a cheaper design that could still do the job.
And that's where touristic underwater boats came to play.
Landon had based the design on the underwater boat design from the first 'Spy Kids movie'.
Of course, it didn't have too many cool features like the one in the movie.
All it did was allow them to travel underwater undetected, as well as launch tiny missiles against deadly sea creatures too.
.
Additionally, it could also release a long antenna-like stick that had a fake frog attached to it.
And once the frog touched the surface, its mouth would open, revealing a microphone to listen to any activities around before they reveal themselves and get out of the water.
Of course, the air force teams would also scout the shores too just in case some pirates were out on patrol... although that scenario was highly unlikely.
That said, there should be a lot of pirates around the areas where the pirate ships were docked.
So they had to find the isolated areas before leaving the underwater ships.
And how would they do that?
Of course by ejecting and swimming onto the shots with their black wetsuits.
Many were so excited as they felt like they were spies on a James Bond movie.
The training these last few days was not for nothing.
They would swim out while carrying another waterproof bag that had their weapons and everything that they needed in it.
And after they found an isolated spot to change out of their wetsuits, 3 or 4 more soldiers would take their bags and swimsuits, place them into larger bags and swim towards the underwater boat with them.
Landon specifically made sure that this step was added into the plan, lest the system kills him for leaving military goods out in the open.
Moreover, what if these items were discovered by the enemy while the mission began?
It was always good to tie up all loose ends.
Anyway, the soldiers, Navy, and marines had been preparing themselves for the mission ahead.
And soon, it was already 6:30 P.M
Assembly time.
.
"Yuno Migore!"
"Sir!"
"Fou Stine!"
"Sir!"
"Nicolas Mo!"
"Sir!"
"Zen Yang!"
"Sir!"
One by one, their names were called and marked off the list.
They hastily ran into the Navy ships, chose their beds for the next few days and unpacked their backpacks and luggage neatly before heading out to their various assigned posts.
Some were on cleaning duty, others were on cooking duty and why not.
Everyone had a 6-hour shift daily, giving them a make time for relaxation as well as training.
Time flew by quickly and in a blink of an eye, it was already 9 P.M.
Time to set sail.
