Hao Yun felt that his body sank and then floated up. The base quickly began to sink. Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared this time and immediately started using their exercises to control their bodies. The process of sinking became more simple and rough. Bai Feng saw that the heavy fog was quickly dissipating, and the waves that were originally spreading outward also began to subside. Not only that, there were also several rapids heading towards the fog area on the sea, one of which They were pulling their boat toward the foggy area. Seeing this, Bai Feng immediately issued an order to continue driving out at full speed. He must escape from the rapids, otherwise once he is pulled into the whirlpool, no one will be able to escape.
The time interval from the base's ascent to sinking is very short. When the dark clouds in the sky disperse and the sun shines on the sea again, the sea is quiet, the water is still dark blue, and the water is still clean, as if just now It's like nothing happened. At this time, the fog had completely dissipated. Bai Feng looked at the spotless sea and was praying in his heart, hoping that they would rescue the commander-in-chief this time. Now the demon clan is at a critical moment of life and death. Without the commander-in-chief, the demon clan would be in danger. It may be about to fall apart, and the war with the cultivators is about to break out. If it fails again this time, there may be no future.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the base had completely stopped sinking. At this time, Hao Yun didn't know how deep the base was in the ocean. Through the porthole of the diving ball, he found that it was all dark outside. In addition to the sound of the diving ball shell creaking under the action of water pressure, the only sound left was their breathing. Hao Yun suddenly thought of a dangerous thing and couldn't help shouting: "Oh no, how long can the air in the diving ball support us? Don't suffocate us to death because it takes too long to crack the base door."
Although cultivators and monsters can use their own spiritual power to stop breathing for a long time, this so-called long time cannot be too long. It can be endured for a few hours, but if it is calculated in days, it will definitely That's not possible. Hao Yun still had fresh memories of suffocating himself to death. After all, this was the reason why he was able to come to this world. Hao Yun didn't fully understand the design of this diving ball, so he didn't know if there was equipment that could produce oxygen. If not, that would be too bad.
Fortunately, Yuan Hong informed everyone in time, telling everyone that of course there is oxygen production equipment here. After all, after the diving ball sinks to the bottom of the sea, not every time it goes as smoothly as this time. Sometimes, the diving ball needs to stay on the bottom of the sea for ten and a half days. It would be possible to wait until the base surfaced. If there was no oxygen-generating equipment, all the rescuers in the diving ball would die. Now, Hao Guanguan felt relieved and was not in a hurry. Now he quietly began to think about his next plan after the portal to the base was opened.
On the surface, Hao Yun was thinking, but in fact, his mind was communicating with Huo Kuang. Based on the cracked information, Huo Kuang pieced together a simple internal map of the base. Although it is simple, it is also quite complicated overall. After all, this undersea base is very large and is divided into thirteen layers. Each layer is Have different functions. Hao Yun felt dizzy looking at this map. He couldn't imagine that a map could be created from the goblin's encrypted text. He felt that these were two completely incompatible information flows. Therefore, when Huo Kuang passed this map to Hao Yun through his spiritual consciousness, Hao Yun's first thought was, has Huo Kuang been to this base? Otherwise, how could there be a map? Later, after Huo Kuang's explanation, he realized that it was originally done through encrypted text.
After having this map, Hao Yun took a closer look and found that the portal they were cracking led to the topmost layer of facilities in the entire base, which was the thirteenth floor of the base. The base is a circular structure, thick in the middle and thin on both sides. All important facilities are concentrated in the thick middle. The other thin positions on the two sides, as well as the bottom and top layers, are protective layers. This is to prevent the enemy from entering. The perimeter enters the base, that is to say, as long as you pass through the protective layer and enter the middle position, the security measures will decrease. Hao Yun understood that the key point this time was to find the nearest way so that they could pass through the protective layer as soon as possible and reach the twelfth floor of the base. This would be much closer to success and much safer at the same time.
The map is actually relatively simple, but it looks more difficult due to the large number of layers. The center of the base is on the eighth floor, but it is not that simple to enter the eighth floor. According to the information cracked by Huo Kuang, the goblin who sent the distress message is trapped in the center. According to the information sent by the goblin, the center has been completely closed. It is very difficult to reopen it. The most important thing is Yes, this place cannot be forcibly opened through violent means, otherwise the base will directly stop working and sink to the deepest part of the sea. This is not the most terrifying thing. Once the base stops operating, it is impossible to resist the water pressure just by relying on the shell of the base. Over time, once the base is breached by water pressure, no one trapped inside can escape.
When Hao Yun chatted with Huo Kuang, he already understood that the goblin must have given a solution, and he subconsciously thought that it would not be to shut down the energy supply system. In fact, that's it. Since violence is not possible, the only way is to stop the power supply to the central system, which will naturally disable the central security system. But doing so is no different from closing the base, Hao Yun asked Huo Kuang. Huo Kuang's answer was full of helplessness. In fact, turning off the energy system means turning off the base. However, the advantage is that it can be turned back on. However, the time interval between turning it off and turning it back on cannot be too long, because the closed base will fall towards the seabed. , the energy system must be turned on before the base collides with the seabed, so as to ensure that the base will not be too damaged. And there is another bad news is that the energy system is on the second layer of the base. That is to say, once it collides with the seabed, A collision on the seabed may cause problems with the energy system. Once it cannot be turned on, everyone will die.
"Damn, this design is too unreasonable. How could such an important facility be placed at the bottom of the base!" Hao Yun simply couldn't understand.
"It's actually very reasonable. The bottom layer of the base has the strictest protective measures. At the same time, various important facilities that enable the base to float and dive are also on this layer, so it requires the most energy. This way, the energy system is placed The second level can greatly reduce the energy running time, the route is the shortest, and the energy utilization rate can also be maximized." Huo Kuang has studied maps much more deeply than Hao Yun, so he can easily see that the designers back then How to think about it.
"But this guy didn't consider what would happen if it collided with the seabed? It was obvious that he didn't think about it." Hao Yun immediately retorted.
"It's so good. Why do people think about this? This only happens under extreme circumstances. Hao Yun, let's say you are confused. You are really confused. Take a closer look at this base. The energy system is placed too high. It is not possible to be close to the central layer. If the energy system is destroyed, the harm will be even greater. If you look carefully, the third layer is also a protective layer, which is equivalent to the energy system being completely wrapped by the protective layer. This is to worry about the energy system. A problem occurred and the entire base was damaged." Huo Kuang showed Hao Yun the third layer of the map through his spiritual consciousness.
"Even so, won't there be problems with the energy system after a collision with the seabed? To put it bluntly, protective measures are still not in place." Hao Yun's mouth was still tough.
"Well, it is difficult for any design to be perfect. In fact, there is another benefit to this design. I wonder if you can see it." Huo Kuang quickly changed the topic. He no longer wanted to argue with Hao Yun on this issue. .
Hao used his spiritual consciousness to open the energy system and checked it carefully, and found that it was very strange. He looked again and again, and said in shock: "Is that so? Does this energy system use the spiritual power in seawater to run the entire base?"
"Yes, you can see that for such a large base, the energy demand is also very large. Therefore, in order to operate for a long time, the energy system must have a way to absorb external energy to achieve such an effect. Think about it, if If the energy system is placed in the middle of the base, the absorption and utilization rate will be reduced. A little bit is okay, but for such a large base, even a little bit is a huge waste." Huo Kuang said, and it can be seen that, He was pleased with the design of the base.
Hao Yun only thinks about how he can shut down the energy system and at the same time turn it on in time. Could it be that after shutting down the system, he has to quickly use the Time Technique to rush back to the center, rescue the goblin, and then use the Time Technique It’s too tiring to run back and activate it. If you don’t have enough spiritual energy in the middle of the way, wouldn’t it be over? After Hao Yun raised the question, Huo Kuang was speechless. After a while, under Hao Yun's urging, he said: "Why do you do everything alone? There are more than just people in the team this time." You are alone!"
Now it was Hao Yun's turn to be speechless. Hao Yun suddenly discovered that he had been busy all alone, so it was often easy to forget about other people. However, after looking at the map carefully, he pointed at the map and said: "If I am alone, I can directly reach the energy system through the time method. If I want other people's help, I need to crack the security measures along the way. , This will take a long time, and I dare not say that everyone’s safety can be guaranteed. Of course, I can also ask people from your world to help me, which may be better. "
"I suggest you never do this. Don't forget, once you turn off the energy system, you will directly face that person of my race. To be honest, I can't even tell whether this guy is a good guy or a bad guy. And you will have to face it later. Facing the leader of the demon clan, it is impossible for us to face all these things. Therefore, we must find a way to bring everyone in together, otherwise once a problem occurs, you are finished, everyone will be finished with it, and no one will be able to do it. You can't run away." Huo Kuang warned Hao Yun that in unknown circumstances, he couldn't just get up on the pole and reveal all his cards casually.
"After I turn off the energy system, the security will be useless. They can pass through the protective layer and enter the central area by themselves." Hao Yun thought that Huo Kuang had forgotten something and quickly reminded him.
"You really underestimated the goblin base. Have you forgotten that what goblins are best at is creating life. In such a large base, there must be a lot of guards. Once the energy system is shut down, these guards will be dispatched in large numbers. Just rely on With their strength, it is almost impossible to rush in in such a short time. If it were me, I would rather face the base's traps, after all, they are all dead." Huo Kuang's answer made Hao Yun feel Very tired, it turns out, this base is indeed not simple, I am still too naive.
After the exchange with Huo Kuang, Hao Yun basically had a rough idea in his mind. To put it bluntly, he should keep a low profile at the beginning. First, he should look at the practices of the demon clan. They should have a lot of experience. If there is really nothing they can do, Only when the time comes, can you take action, and you should not take over everything as soon as you come up. Otherwise, even if you succeed, the other party will be shocked by your outstanding performance and at the same time become wary of him. Think about it later, At least there is one living goblin and a leader of the goblin clan. Huo Kuang also specifically warned Hao Yun that if the goblin trapped in the center is not a patient with schizophrenia, then the other goblin who sent the message must be someone else. This is more difficult because this guy did not give any information. Because of his own information, there is no way to figure out where he is, so there is no way to prepare in advance. He might appear at any time, and more than 90% of the time, this guy will become an obstacle to them.
The cracking tool in Hou Feng's hand made a crisp ringing sound, and his face was filled with joy. Then everyone saw that the door that was originally flashing red light turned into green light as the bell rang. , the door sank back, then slid to both sides, with a snap, the door opened, and a dazzling white light lit up from inside the door, which made Hao Yun feel a little dazzling, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, and then , he sensed a black shadow coming out of the door. Hao Yun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that if this was over, someone would run out from behind the door. It would be too bad to attack them at this time.
