The renovation of the Novova Arkhangelsk is complete, and Sun Cheng even gave it a new name - Ghost!

Although I am a bit envious of the other ship docked on the other side of the pier, which is the sister ship of the Arkhangelsk.

But Sun Cheng also knows that he has stayed in Severodvinsk for too long, and he has more important things to do, so it's time to leave.

However, Sun Cheng hasn't forgotten the purpose of his trip to Severodvinsk this time.

So even though he's leaving, he won't go quietly.

Sun Cheng plans to create a big news event and then solemnly announce his existence to the powerful Russian president.

"Master, the power system can be activated at any time. Do you need me to untie the cables and raise the anchor?"

Ships have anchors, and submarines also have submarine anchors, but most ballistic missile nuclear submarines have canceled this design.

The Typhoon, designed in the 1970s and 1980s, is an exception. However, for better concealment, the anchors designed for the first few Typhoon-class submarines are retractable built-in anchors.

Sun Cheng nodded, "Go and raise the anchor. I will untie the cables... But don't rush to activate the power system. I'm going out now. Start the power system after you receive my communication..."

"Yes!"

After giving serious instructions, he quickly left the submarine.

In the Severodvinsk shipyard, although the management is notoriously relaxed, there have been frequent losses of equipment and materials recently, and they are all valuable high-end items. The shipyard has evidently started to realize the problem.

Therefore, when Sun Cheng left the Ghost, he quickly noticed that the security in the shipyard had become much stricter compared to the previous few days.

However, this worked out perfectly.

After disembarking from the Ghost, Sun Cheng immediately untied the cables attached to the pier.

Then, he once again jumped into the sea and swam to another pier in the military port area after leaving the shipyard.

During the past week, Sun Cheng has been busy. He has thoroughly familiarized himself with the entire Severodvinsk port, including the controlled military port area.

Therefore, after leaving the shipyard, he immediately headed towards another pier in the military port area.

There, he found a large ocean-going tugboat equipped by the Russian military, similar to the Typhoon or Kirov-class vessels, which are massive structures weighing over 20,000 tons. They are usually responsible for the entry and exit of the military port.

And that large ocean-going tugboat, anchored in the naval port of the Northern Fleet, was his target.

Despite his stealthy submarine approach, Sun Cheng's speed was as swift as a shark. It didn't take long for him to quietly approach the large ocean-going tugboat.

The tugboat was named 'Onegagus,' and as it was currently in the early hours of the morning, there was no one in sight on the pier where it was docked.

Silently climbing onto the pier, shaking off the ice fragments from his body, Sun Cheng made good use of the remaining miniature detectors in his possession. He walked straight to the side of the 'Onegagus,' untied the cables, and with a powerful leap, jumped onto the tugboat.

This is the military port where the Northern Fleet is stationed, and the security is much stricter than the nearby shipyard.

As soon as he boarded the boat, Core scanned the surroundings, and Sun Cheng

noticed that although there were no guards on the tugboat, there were four surveillance devices installed around it, including the deck.

Deliberately exposing his figure on one of the surveillance screens, Sun Cheng ensured that the duty soldiers would not overlook him. He then emitted several electromagnetic waves, destroying the other three surveillance devices on the ship, leaving only the one that captured his image.

Knowing that the soldiers on duty in the military port would soon notice the abnormality here, Sun Cheng walked towards the bridge.

The bridge of the Onegagus was obviously designed according to human standards. Although the hatch was two meters high, it was not wide enough for Sun Cheng to enter.

In addition, the door was also tightly closed, so without any hesitation, he violently stretched out his right hand and punched the connection between the hatch and the wall next to it.

More than two tons of terrifying fist force hit the hatch, and with a loud sound, several deep cracks immediately appeared on the hatch of the bridge and the wall.

"Hiss!"

Like tearing a newspaper, Sun Cheng easily tore through the cabin door and the wall of the bridge, and finally made a hole for himself to enter and exit before he walked in.

With the Core fully activated, noises could already be faintly heard on the pier.

Sun Cheng didn't care about these things. After entering the bridge, countless metal joints protruded from his mechanical body and submerged into the equipment inside the bridge.

Under the continuous invasion of Core functions, the large ocean-going tugboat soon fell under his control.

The anchor began to be retracted onto the tugboat, and the power system was started.

After intentionally sounding the tugboat's horn, the 'Onegagus' finally started to leave the pier. After slowly sailing out of the shallow water area of the pier, it began to head towards the nearby Severodvinsk shipyard at full speed.

Not long after the tugboat left, the harsh sirens finally sounded in the military port.

Sun Cheng couldn't help but smile. There was nothing easier than creating a big news story to make the Russian high-level aware of his existence.

Particularly, this news story was about him stealing a nuclear submarine from someone's home, and his own image was clearly captured.

"The stage has been set, but before the main show begins, I need to warm up the scene..."

This thought quickly flashed through his mind, but the Core with its full scanning functionality quickly diminished his smile.

"Huh? Two patrol boats?"

In the military port, a group of Russian soldiers on patrol had arrived at the pier.

When they saw the empty pier, the soldiers quickly summoned two patrol speedboats that were docked at a pier in the military port, and they started heading towards the 'Onegagus'.

"After all, they are professional soldiers, their reaction is quite fast..."

He muttered something under his breath, but he didn't panic.

Although engineers like Hephaestus hadn't received training to operate submarines, mechanical life forms were inherently the best masters of mechanical equipment.

Therefore, they could easily maneuver the Ghost out of the Severodvinsk Shipyard's dock without a tugboat.

The reason he came to the military port to steal the tugboat was simply to expose his existence to the Russian military before leaving.

Seeing that the Russian army's reaction was much faster than he had anticipated, Sun Cheng didn't hesitate and immediately ordered Hephaestus and the others to start leaving the port.

The tugboat, running at full speed, eventually caught up with the patrol speedboats before they could reach it, and rendezvoused with the Ghost, which was cruising on the surface at a speed of about 25 knots.

After giving Hephaestus and the others the order to cooperate, the speed of the Ghost decreased slightly, and its sailing direction changed slightly to align with the 'Onegagus' where Sun Cheng was.

Looking through the hazy night, it appeared as if it was dragging the Ghost out of the port.

"Attention, the vessel ahead, immediately halt for inspection, or we will open fire and destroy you..."

"Repeat, the vessel ahead, immediately halt for inspection, or we will open fire and destroy you..."

After a while, the two patrol speedboats finally caught up with Sun Cheng and the others. In the dark night, they hadn't noticed the Ghost in time, so while speeding towards the "Onegagus" vessel, they continued to issue threatening warnings.

Sun Cheng paid no attention to them. The act he had planned, titled "First Intimate Encounter with the Polar Bear," had played out enough by now and it was time to wrap it up.

He believed that with his appearance this time, he would successfully draw attention from the Russian higher-ups.

As for the issue of stealing a soon-to-be-decommissioned Typhoon-class submarine, it didn't bother him in the slightest if it angered the polar bear.

Throughout the entire process, he hadn't killed a single Russian soldier; at most, they suffered some financial losses.

Moreover, after returning to Base No. 2 for rest and preparation, Sun Cheng would soon take the initiative to contact the polar bear once again.

By then, he would present enough bait to make them willingly swallow their pride.

Sun Cheng possessed military technology far surpassing that of Russia. He had as much as they desired.

Even if the other party demanded money, Sun Cheng wouldn't back down.

Each of the Decepticon engineers was the most productive miner. If necessary, he could easily find a world-class gold mine and send the engineers to dig for a month.

However, his belongings were not easy to obtain!

It would be settled once and for all when the time came!

While Sun Cheng was lost in thought, he noticed two speedboats approaching near the tugboat. It seemed they were preparing to board urgently, while the other speedboat headed towards the Ghost.

Finally, Sun Cheng regained control of all the joints controlling the tugboat. He stepped out of the cockpit without concealing himself and confidently boarded the deck, once again exposing himself on the monitor.

Afterward, he leaped off the tugboat, deliberately falling a few meters away from the speedboat. Amid their exclamations, he swiftly swam towards the Ghost.

"What the hell is that?"

"Command, we've spotted a robot?!"

"Urgent order, urgent order, 0027, 0039, destroy that combat mech immediately, don't let it get near the submarine, I repeat..."

Ignoring the growing activity in the radio waves, Sun Cheng approached the still-speeding Ghost, evading bullets fired from the two speedboats. He jumped onto the submarine.

In the sky, the sound of helicopter propellers from the Mi-28 squadron was becoming faintly audible.

Sun Cheng glanced up in the direction of the sound, his smile growing wider. He quickly climbed onto the command platform and entered the submarine through the open hatch.

Once the hatch was closed, the Ghost, which had been speeding across the water's surface, finally began to submerge.

By the time the Mi-28 armed helicopter squadron that had urgently taken off from the military port arrived, there was no trace of the Ghost on the sea.

Ghost set sail!
