#659 - Chapter 30 Royal Submarine
In the blink of an eye, the car's speed soared to over 240 mph, speeding towards home like a whirlwind.
Soon, they arrived home. Vivian rushed into the house, heading straight for her room, with Liu Yuan following behind, answering the ladies' questions.
Vivian impatiently overturned a bookshelf, revealing the hidden compartment behind it. She opened the secret cabinet and rummaged through her childhood storybooks. Finding the picture album, she unfolded the folded picture on it and pulled out the note inside, which read: Royal Naval Museum—Alliance.
"Could the place marked here be where Merlin's staff is located? It turns out the clue has been right beside me all along," Vivian said excitedly.
Liu Yuan carefully examined the note: "I don't think it's very likely. It would be better to entrust the staff to the Earl for safekeeping. Your father probably hid the relevant clues on the Alliance. But Vivian, once you get involved in this, your peaceful life is destined to be disrupted! Are you sure you still want to go?"
Vivian: "Yes, of course, I'm going. No matter what, I have to find out the truth."
Portsmouth, the Royal Naval Submarine Museum, the UK has several maritime museums across the country. It showcases various exhibits from the UK's Age of Exploration, including some ships.
Originally, Liu Yuan intended to stay in Southampton for a night and come the next day, but Vivian, being impatient, insisted on coming here today. When they arrived, it was already late, close to closing time, and the staff were preparing to clear the area.
A British aunt in her 50s glanced at the two of them: "Sorry, the opening hours for today are almost over, please come back tomorrow."
Vivian: "No, I've traveled so far from London, I must go in today."
The British aunt said impatiently: "Sorry, miss, please don't disturb our work. If you continue like this, I will have to call security."
"Nelly, what's happening here?" Two security guards walked over.
Liu Yuan put his arm around Vivian's small waist and said, "Honey, let me handle it."
Then he pointed to the sign and said: "It says here that it closes at 5:30, isn't there still 15 minutes left? Besides, we've come all the way from Asia, can you please do us a favor? I think the hospitable British people wouldn't mind getting off work a little later. Please give me two tickets, thank you!"
The British aunt and the security guards exchanged glances, and quickly tore off two tickets: "Welcome to visit! Go from there, at most until 6:30, I hope you hurry up."
Liu Yuan took the ticket stubs and put one arm around Vivian, saying: "Thank you!" Then they walked into the park.
The British aunt calmly put away a stack of 20-pound notes on the table. Then, in the blind spot of the surveillance, she secretly divided them into two portions and quietly handed them to the two security guards. Each person could get at least three hundred pounds, which is not a small amount.
The Alliance submarine is a British Royal Navy A-class submarine and the only surviving World War II submarine of the British Royal Navy. It was officially retired in 1981 and renovated to be open to all tourists.
Vivian came to the inside of the submarine, looking here and there. Liu Yuan led her to the cockpit, pointing to a passage engraved on it. He said: "This is Cybertronian, the Autobot language. This submarine, like Hot Rod and the others, was once an Autobot."
Vivian: "Such a big submarine, how amazing would it be after it transforms?" Saying that, she reached out and touched the submarine's joystick.
"Buzz~" A muffled sound spread throughout the cabin, and all the lights turned on. The loudspeaker sounded: "Welcome! Vivian, I have been waiting for your arrival, I thought I wouldn't be able to hold on until this day. Okay, get ready and start your journey!"
The instruments in the submarine began to jump, and the submarine, which had been silent here for who knows how many years, actually started working. Bang bang bang bang, all the doors closed automatically, and in the eyes of everyone outside, the propeller turned again.s
The staff opened their mouths wide: "Oh my god, am I dreaming! This thing can still work."
"Boom boom boom!" The sound of explosions rang out, and the original brackets and cement that fixed the submarine were all shattered. The Alliance submarine slid to the water surface at an incredible angle. Then it slid out strangely and entered the nearby river channel, and just drove away.
Hot Rod, who was parked at the gate, saw this scene and couldn't hide anymore. He transformed directly into a human form and ran along the river, finally catching up with the submarine at the estuary. Hot Rod jumped out and lay on the submarine, saying with a face full of despair: "I knew it would end up like this. I wonder if the parts will rust after this time?"
Ignoring Hot Rod clinging to the outer shell, Vivian and the submarine in the cabin were chatting happily. The submarine Transformer's name is Shenhang, a rare female Transformer, and her voice sounds like a middle-aged woman. She had already landed on Earth around the 17th century and participated in the First and Second World Wars. However, because she was injured and severely lacking in energy, she could no longer transform. Like Bulldog and Strongarm, she was in a state of retirement, you could say she was slowly waiting to die.
So that's how it is, Liu Yuan finally understood why there were so many Autobots hiding on Earth. But every time Optimus Prime fought against the Decepticons, he was always outnumbered, always leading a few cats and kittens to fight against a large number of Decepticons.
These Autobot seniors were all in a semi-disabled state, and going there would be like sending them to their deaths. In addition, Optimus Prime was poor! He couldn't provide the Energon cores to restore these guys' vitality.
Vivian asked: "Are you planning to send us to Merlin's burial place? There's no need to make such a big commotion."
Shenhang: "Yes, Merlin and the staff are both sunk in the deep sea with the temple. I've only been there once, because I don't know how long I can hold on, maybe I won't wake up again next time."
Liu Yuan suddenly opened his mouth: "Are you in your current state because you lack spark energy?"
Shenhang: "Alas~! With the end of the war, Cybertron was reduced to ruins, and with the dimming of the Well of Sparks, even the crystal core mines have dried up."
Liu Yuan smiled: "So today is your lucky day, are you interested in working for me? The reward I can provide should be of great interest to you." Saying that, he took out a pigeon egg-sized crystal from his pocket, which was also blooming with a bright blue light.
