MTL - Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)-Chapter 130 The voyage fleet was established
【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
Regarding the recruitment of crew members of several other submarines besides the Sea Locust,
In fact, there are not too many opportunities for Meng Lei to choose from.
With the previous experience, he actually doesn't need too many choices.
Due to the frequent occurrence of anomalies in the major seas in the recent period, many clues point to the precursor of a new round of space tides about to erupt.
Therefore, even if the league has not made a public statement yet, fully publicize this matter.
But there are still a large number of bounty hunters, and through a series of encounters in the wild, they can smell an unusual aura keenly.
The news that the space tide is coming soon spread like wildfire.
Not only did it spread among the bounty hunter groups, but even many ordinary people began to pay attention to this matter one after another.
And with the increase in the risk probability encountered when sailing in the wild, all kinds of technical talents in the Xiercheng talent market have become the sweet and sweet cakes that are vying for it for a while.
Even if some bounty ships did not need too many crew members, for the sake of safety, some people will over-employ crew members and stay on board as a talent pool.
This has led to an extreme shortage of human resources in the talent market, and all crew members with relatively high overall evaluations have been preemptively hired.
If Chen Yu hadn't paid a part of the deposit in the afternoon, he helped Meng Lei to book a batch of talents in advance,
When Meng Lei came to recruit actively, I am afraid that there will only be some crooked melons and jujubes left.
But today is different. Meng Lei is no longer as picky as before when it comes to crew recruitment.
At that time, the Sea Locust had only one ship, and looking at the entire fleet, no one could be qualified as a mechanic engineer and ship doctor.
At that time, he could only select as much professional and skilled crew as possible to ensure the safety of the voyage.
But after a period of development, there are many technical talents in the fleet, and they have probably mastered some professional skills in submarine maintenance and alien medical technology.
Therefore, he no longer needs to conduct a strict review of the local alien crew according to the previous standards.
On every ship that sets sail, as long as there are one local mechanical engineer and one electrical engineer, plus one ship doctor and one professional safety officer.
The rest of the personnel can be directly selected from the fleet.
When he came to the talent market, Meng Lei briefly checked the crew that Chen Yu had paid the deposit.
In terms of overall quality, it looks pretty good.
Among them, most people's professional rating is C, and the overall evaluation also fluctuates between C and C+.
Relatively speaking, everyone's professionalism is on the level, and it is more than enough for the repair and maintenance of F-class submarines.
Meng Lei waved his hand directly, very bold, and signed all these people on the spot.
However, due to Chen Yu's limited reputation, the quality and quantity of crew members that can be selected and recruited are limited.
In the whole afternoon, he also picked out these twelve local alien crew members, who could not meet the configuration of the new fleet.
Meng Lei used his prestige level authority to ask for a new recruitment list from the staff.

【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
With the prestige value of his current respect level, the level of crew members who can be recruited from the talent market has undergone significant changes.
Previously, when his reputation was at the friendly level, the highest skill rating of professional crew members that could be recruited was only C+.
But now, among the crew list provided by the staff, the highest occupational rating has reached A level!
Two levels higher than before!
You must know that the professional rating of the local crew members of the alien star needs to undergo strict assessment, and it is quite difficult to improve.
And the level of professional ability between different levels is also very different!
This is clearly reflected in the commission.
The crew commissions of professional ability C-level and C+ level are normally around 5,000 marks, such as Hans and Karl, whose worth is at this level.
However, for crew members whose professional rating and overall evaluation can reach A-level, the monthly commission is as high as 20,000 marks!
The level has been upgraded by two tiers, and the value has also risen, even more than twice as high!
Ordinary individual bounty hunters are really not necessarily able to hire.
The staff in the talent market also politely reminded Meng Lei.
Most of the crew members whose occupational rating reaches the A level are technical advisors of caravans or bounty fleets, and rarely serve individual forces alone.
Especially the small submarines below the E-class frigates, there is no need to recruit A-class crews, it is pure waste!
Meng Lei pondered for a long time and felt that the staff's suggestion was quite pertinent.
Under normal circumstances, he really does not need to hire crew members of this level, it is really overkill.
However, this time, not only did he have to travel far, but he also happened to catch up with the tidal eruption of space.
For the sake of safety, he finally decided to hire two mechanical engineers with A-level professional ability to stay in the fleet to provide technical guidance.
Not only can it improve security, but it can also teach the crew of Blue Star players in the fleet some knowledge about the maintenance of submarine equipment, which can be regarded as making the best use of them.
As for safety officers and ship doctors, there is no need to hire A-class crew.
The technical level of the security officer is completely fed by a large number of combat accumulations and ammunition reserves. As long as they experience more battles, their abilities can be rapidly improved.
As for the ship doctor, one Gina in the fleet is enough.
You must know that although this crazy woman is addicted to alcohol, she is also a little naughty on weekdays, and her mental state seems to have some problems.
But it is undeniable!
Gina's medical level is absolutely nothing to say, and her professional skill rating is also A-level!
In Hawke's half-joking tone when he was chatting, with Dr. Gina on board, as long as he didn't lose his head on the spot, it would be hard to die!
It is enough to see that Gina's medical level is high.
In the end, Meng Lei randomly selected two electrical engineers from the list provided by the staff and assembled the basic configuration of the fleet.
When checking out, looking at the total commission on the bill, Meng Lei couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
There are a total of sixteen alien local crew members, including two A-level mechanical engineers, and the rest are all C-level and C+-level other professionals.

【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
All these people add up, and the monthly commission is as high as 100,000 marks!
At this price, you can buy two of the cheapest G-class exploration boats at the shipyard!
I have to say that the cost of raising a fleet is really terrifyingly high, and if you don't have any background, you really can't afford it.
Chen Yu transferred the money, and Meng Lei paid the bill.
After the discount, more than 80,000 yuan disappeared so easily, in exchange for the attention of many bounty hunters in the talent market.
Usually, a ship can recruit two or three crew members at a time, which is almost the limit.
Because most of the crew members on the bounty hunter ship are fixed, most of the crew members who come here to re-recruit the crew are attritioned during the execution of the mission, and they come to replenish them in desperation.
For a bounty ship, the attrition of more than three people means that a major accident has occurred, and it is a blessing to be able to come back alive.
Therefore, it is rare to have such a high single consumption amount in such a place.
Holding the recruitment contract signed by the staff in the name of the alliance in their hands, Meng Lei and Chen Yu walked out of the talent market building in surprise as they met the surprised gazes from all around them.
Outside the door, under the dazzling reflections of various holographic projections and neon signs, Meng Lei's complexion changed several times.
In the end, it inevitably collapsed.
He looked sideways at Chen Yu, wanting to cry without tears, and said with a sad face:
"Brother Chen, how much money do we have left in our account? Is it enough for me to come back next time?"
Not yet set sail, the initial investment is already an astronomical figure.
After all, Meng Lei has spent more than 300,000 marks for this voyage, plus the cost of the shipyard and today's crew recruitment!
And this is the most basic standard, without any extra overhead.
Just buy some high-explosive orbital shells or high explosives, and the total cost will be close to 400,000!
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Chongming Fleet's income from working for more than a week has been lost in the past two days!
"Fairy Wood"
Even, this money is higher than the total value created by the Beiming Fleet Bounty Group these days!
Such a large expenditure, even Meng Lei couldn't help but be startled, for fear that it would affect the overall development of the fleet.
Chen Yu smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Meng Lei's shoulder lightly, comforting:
"Don't worry, although there are not many funds on the books, it can barely be maintained!"
After a pause, Chen Yu said again:
"Don't forget, you brought back hundreds of thousands of things from the Rongyan Outpost. With that batch of supplies to support, the fleet will never collapse easily.
The big deal, when you go back and let the bounty formation go out on a mission, take the time to collect some more supplies in the wild.
Persevere a little bit, and no matter how hard you try, you will definitely be able to endure the transaction until you complete it. "
Hearing this, Meng Lei was relieved, but he still looked at Chen Yu with a trace of apology on his face, and said:
"Brother Chen, I've worked hard for you during this period of time. I will sell the batch of eggs as soon as possible, and then call you the money to turn it around."
Chen Yu waved his hand with a smile and said earnestly:
"It's the same sentence, don't worry about things at home, if there is no problem with me, you can lead the team with peace of mind, pay more attention on the road, and don't act recklessly.

【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
You are the backbone of our fleet, and many people in the team are willing to join the fleet because of your name as the captain of the Guixu.
If you fall, the hearts of the team will be scattered, and everything will be meaningless. "
Meng Lei nodded seriously and said solemnly:
"I know Brother Chen, don't worry."
The recruitment of the crew came to an end, and the two did not spend much time in the business district of Seale City.
On the way back to Dock No. 59, Nona, a beautiful receptionist at the shipyard, sent Meng Lei a text message by holding a tablet.
It is claimed that the battery installation project of the Sea Locust has been completed, and now it has been returned to the dock by the staff of the shipyard, requiring Meng Lei to personally inspect and complete the delivery.
After receiving this notice, Meng Lei and Chen Yu couldn't help but speed up and hurriedly returned to the site of the Chongming Fleet.
However, after returning to dock 59, Chen Yu did not board the Shanghai Locust with Meng Lei.
Although the recruitment of the local crew of the alien star has been settled, the screening of the accompanying fleet members has not yet been implemented.
Wang Qi was already working on this aspect in advance, but he needed Chen Yu, the chief of staff, to make the final call.
So, after returning to the dock, the two parted ways and went their separate ways.
When Meng Lei came to the Sea Locust, the staff of the shipyard were standing in the dock passage waiting patiently.
After carefully checking the various facilities and valuables on the ship, and finding that there was nothing unusual, Meng Lei finally came to the artillery control room.
Today, the artillery control room of the Sea Locust has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.
Not only the position of the periscopes is different, but the number of them is also one more than before, from three to four.
In addition, under each periscope, a comfortable seat that can be rotated 360 degrees is installed.
The shipyard staff said:
"These seats are specially installed by our leaders, and you will not be charged any extra fee, as your long-term thanks to our Sear City Shipyard for your strong support!"
Hearing this, Meng Lei smiled and nodded, feeling quite satisfied.
Although the installation of these seats does not cost a few dollars, no one will refuse anything that comes from prostitution.
The attitude of Xiercheng Shipyard was also quite comfortable. The previous dissatisfaction with the preferential treatment disappeared immediately, and Meng Lei praised a few words without hesitation.
After sending off the shipyard staff, Meng Lei immediately sent a text message to Ning Wen.
It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate work communication, the two senior members of the fleet, Ning Wen and Wang Qi, are now equipped with their own handheld tablets.
However, their tablet models are a few points worse than those of Chen Yu and Meng Lei. They have few functions and can only be used for daily communication.
But even so, it made Ning Wen so happy that he sent Meng Lei some "harassing" text messages.
Meng Lei could even foresee that with Ning Wen, the next voyage would never be boring and lonely.
At the moment, Meng Lei called Ning Wen from the Shenlong, and instructed him to inform Gina, Hawke and others that they could go back to the Sea Locust to gather.

【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
In addition, Meng Lei also explained to Ning Wen one thing, take away the pirate's wine on the Sea Locust, find a suitable channel in the city to sell it, and convert it all into cash to use as the turnover of the fleet.
Although Chen Yu said that Meng Lei didn't need to worry about the situation at home, Meng Lei couldn't really be a hands-off shopkeeper and hand over all the pressure to Chen Yu alone.
Those aged pirate hoards can be worth a lot of money if sold.
For Chen Yu, it can be more or less helpful.
After nine o'clock in the evening, after receiving the notice from Ning Wen, the members of the Sea Locust rushed back from the living quarters in the city one after another.
Including Huo Ye and Xu Hui, who had been sleeping on the initial wasteland reclamation boat together with other fleet members in the past two days, all returned one after another.
On the first night of the sailing, the crowd gathered.
It's rare to relax for so many days, and it's time to take it easy.
That night, Meng Lei convened everyone for a brief meeting, which was considered a pre-war mobilization.
Everyone's spirits are high, and they are not at a loss or afraid of the unknown future. They are all in high spirits. In short, they are still in a good mood.
The only small episode happened to Gina.
When she found that all the precious drinks in the refrigerator in the bar had disappeared, Gina, who had been hiding in the crowd silently, suddenly changed her usual elegance.
Sometimes she was about to cry like an aggrieved little girl, looking at Meng Lei eagerly, and sometimes she was like a savage aunt looking down on the square, nervously asking God to act as a demon on the deck, and everyone watching was stunned for a while.
In the end, Meng Lei patted her chest and said that she would send someone to fill the refrigerator early tomorrow morning to ensure that she would not be short of wine throughout the whole process.
This beautiful ship doctor with a professional rating of A-level gradually stabilized and returned to her usual elegant posture.
To be honest, as an employee, if someone else dared to make trouble with the employer like this, Meng Lei would have kicked him out of the team long ago, and he would have gotten rid of this black sheep cleanly.
But who made Gina capable?
In addition to the love of drinking, I can't find faults anywhere, and the quality requirements of the wine are not high.
Better to have good wine, if not, cheap beer is acceptable.
Obviously, it can be firmly in the ranks of 20,000 commissions, but now it can be won with only 5,000 commissions. It is quite cost-effective to spend a little of the saved money to buy wine.
Such a good ship doctor, where can I find it if I get kicked?
Therefore, feeling depressed and depressed, Meng Lei still accepted Gina's little problem to a great extent.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Meng Lei woke up refreshed and went to the bathroom to wash up as usual.
Apart from the frequent occurrence of the white light in the dream on the day of returning to Xier City, in the next few days, the strange light disappeared completely.
As if he had completed some kind of mission, he disappeared without a trace.
Even if Meng Lei had something in his mind and kept calling before going to bed, the white light group never appeared again.
Although Meng Lei was suspicious, he was also grateful.
Without that thing to act as a demon, at least he can sleep well.

【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
After breakfast, Meng Lei received a text message from Chen Yu, saying that the list of other members of the fleet that was accompanying this time had been determined, and he needed to come out and say hello to everyone to get acquainted with each other.
Meng Lei simply packed up, and immediately stepped out of the cabin of the Sea Locust.
At this moment, it was only about half past eight in the morning.
But in the dock passage of Dock No. 59, it was already crowded and dark.
Dozens of members of the Chongming Fleet's subordinates stood in the middle of the passage in unison, and the posture was like a military parade.
And it can be easily seen that some of these people have a special temperament.
That kind of temperament is very similar to Chen Yu, and at a glance, you know that he is a soldier!
Moreover, it is a serious Kyushu disciple soldier!
"Hello Commander!"
Seeing Meng Lei appear in the field of vision, dozens of fleet members in the passage immediately shouted in unison.
Meng Lei nodded slightly, his face was calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little flustered inside.
Different from the chaos that greeted him on the way back, the aura of these soldiers was too aggressive, making Meng Lei, who rarely saw any big scenes, feel a little overwhelmed.
He also forced himself to remain calm, to make himself look as stable as possible.
"Hello everyone!"
Meng Lei forced a smile and waved to everyone.
At this time, Chen Yu stepped aside and stood in front of Meng Lei and said, "They are all members of our Heavy Sea Fleet. After layers of selection, the elites who finally stood out have good abilities in all aspects.
This time, the journey is long and the crisis is full of dangers. With them by my side, I believe it can bring you a lot of help! "
After a pause, Chen Yu pointed to a few people standing in the front row in the team, and said:
"Because of the large number of people, I will not introduce you one by one. I have arranged the staffing of each ship for you, but these captains still need to introduce you.
In the future, they will be your right-hand man, responsible for conveying and implementing all the instructions you give! "
Meng Lei nodded heavily and looked at the person in the lead.
It was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He looked about the same size as Huo Ye, tall and thin, with sharp eyes.
Chen Yu introduced: "This is Lin Ming. The fleet that joined on the fifth day is also a veteran member. Regardless of his personal ability and the level of ship control, they are quite good."
Meng Lei nodded, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, and said solemnly:
"Hello, welcome to be a member of our voyage fleet."
With a smile on Lin Ming's face, he respectfully responded:
"Good commander, it is my honor to be able to join the expedition fleet!"
Then, Chen Yu pointed to another person in the team next to him and said:
"This is Zhang Chao, the person in charge of the second bounty formation of our Chongming Fleet. He is temporarily transferred to be the captain of the expedition fleet. Needless to say, I don't need to say more about his ability. "
Meng Lei nodded heavily, looked at Zhang Chao, and found that he seemed to be less than thirty years old.
Standing with Lin Ming, the traces of the years on the latter's face are very obvious, which makes him even younger.
This chapter is not over, click [Next] to continue reading -->>
【Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine】【】
At this age, Chen Yu can actually be promoted to the leader of the second bounty formation, which is enough to see that this person is very capable.
"Hello Commander!"
Before waiting for Meng Lei to speak, Zhang Chao walked first.
Meng Lei responded with a smile: "Hello!"
Next, Chen Yu took Meng Lei to meet the other two.
One of them is Zhu Fei, who is in his thirties. He used to be in charge of logistics in the army, and now he is also in the heavy duty fleet.
There is also a man named Jiang Xing, who is in his early fifties and is quite famous in the fleet recently.
Meng Lei greeted several people one by one, UU reading www.uukanshu.com made a simple understanding of each person, which deepened the impression.
In the days to come, they will accompany Meng Lei on an expedition to the hydrothermal wasteland to complete this large transaction.
It can be said that from now on, they are Meng Lei's deputy and the core commander of the expedition team.
In the event of a crisis, it is up to them whether the fleet can achieve unified scheduling and execution.
"Okay, everyone has it, disband!"
After introducing Meng Lei to the new fleet members, Chen Yu waved and dismissed the team.
It is not yet time to set sail, so many people are crowded in the dock passage, which seriously affects the passage, so there is no need to stay here all the time.
After the crowd dispersed, Chen Yu patted Meng Lei on the shoulder, gave him a deep look, and said solemnly:
"That's all I can do for you, remember, come back safely no matter what, don't be brave, even if you break your arm to survive, as long as you can survive, there is hope for everything!"
Meng Lei pondered the meaning of Chen Yu's words carefully, and it took a long time to understand the meaning.
The so-called surviving with a broken arm does not refer to him, but to the entire fleet!
In case of danger, even if some people are abandoned, the safety of the flagship of the Sea Locust must be maintained.
Although Meng Lei did not particularly agree with such behavior, he also knew that Chen Yu was doing it for his own good.
And his current status and position also determined that he could not have any kindness of women.
When there is no choice, it must be broken.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Lei looked back at Chen Yu seriously, nodded and said:
"I know Brother Chen, don't worry."
Chen Yu glanced at Meng Lei with relief and said no more.
