Episode 18 Test dive
Three days after Commander Akiyama arrives in the Great Haven.
Osiris is ready to depart.
"Deputy-commander Akiyama, the easiest way for a professional like you to understand Osiris is to actually get on it.
The good news is that Osiris will test for a 12-hour dive from 7 in tomorrow morning.
Get aboard Osiris and experience what is the magical submarine."
Deputy-commander Akiyama will participate in the dive test of Osiris under the direction of Rear-admiral Tanaka.
==========================================
"Depth 6500 ft."
When Captain Mikami hears Shiori's report at the Central Command Post of Osiris, he will give an outline of the test again to deputy-commander Akiyama.
"We have reached the current depth many times.
In today's test, we aim for a depth of 7300 ft.
If the depth is 7300 ft, it is enough only the Magic Armor of Ensign Yoroi in the calculation.
But Shiori also puts the Magic Armor just in case.
Shiori, Start that."
At the same time as she nods, the air inside Osiris turns redder, and Osiris is filled with a tremendous amount of magical power.
It is a sight to see for the first time even for Deputy-commander Akiyama who should be familiar with the Magic Armor.
When all is ready, Captain Mikami will order.
"Start to 7th dive test. Dive to 7300 ft depth."
"Aye, Dive to 7300 ft depth."
Osiris starts to sink silently when Shiori repeats the order.
Deputy-commander Akiyama next to Captain Mikami is amazed.
Even 6500 ft is an incredible depth for him.
Captain Mikami says that is just a starting point.
Deputy-commander Akiyama is shocked again by Osiris's overwhelming performance.
"Depth 7300 ft."
"Shiori, can you make Osiris dived deeper?"
"Yes, I can."
"It is as you heard."
When Captain Mikami said so to Deputy-commander Akiyama, Captain Mikami will order again.
"Dive to 8300 ft depth."
Osiris starts to sink more.
Deputy-commander Akiyama breaks out in a cold sweat with extreme tension.
If the Magic Armor is interrupted at current depth, Osiris will crush.
Despite his concerns, the crew is calm.
"Depth 8300 ft."
The test goes on the final stage when Osiris has reached the target depth without incident.
"Shiori, check each system."
"Sailing OK.
Water seal OK.
Torpedo OK.
Oxygen concentration is OK.
All systems are normal."
"Reina, check the scouting system."
"Wait a while, I'm checking now...
Scouting OK, All clear."
"Dive test is done.
Shiori, float up to 1300 ft depth."
"Aye, Float up to 1300 ft depth."
Osiris achieved very easily the dive of 8300 ft depth that no one has ever experienced.
Deputy-commander Akiyama who watched the test must admit Osiris's overwhelming advantage.
Fuyushio of the 4th generation submarine is like a toy compared with Osiris.
Deputy-commander Akiyama understands that there is no exaggeration in the words that Rear-admiral Tanaka said "Osiris is the strongest in a one-on-one battle."
He says with deep emotion "What a great submarine this is!"
Osiris that finished the test goes back to the Great Haven as if nothing had happened.
