After Moonlight and Ivan left the room, Sean finished washing, turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.
He chose the bed next to the glass wall.
In the dark room, Sean turned over while thinking, and suddenly saw the deep sea outside the glass wall, and the three-masted sailboat illuminated by lights not far away.
It looked like a mist that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, the sea water blocking the distant view, and the sunken ship illuminated by the light that seemed a bit strange...
Sean suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.
"Phobia of the deep?" Sean thought uneasily, "When did I have this phobia?
"This is not good for maintaining mental strength..."
He frowned and stood up, closing the curtains to block out the scenery of the deep sea.
In this way, he was able to escape from fear and gradually fell asleep.
…
The set bedside alarm clock rang, and Sean woke up from his dreamless sleep.
The lighting outside the glass wall was brightened, and the light shone through the edge of the curtains, giving people the illusion that it was daytime outside the window when the curtains were opened.
Olivia, who didn't need sleep and was in a nap, got up and turned on the light in the room: "Good morning, Sean."
"Morning." Sean sat up - he had slept well and was in good spirits.
Join the others in the restaurant and sit down to have breakfast together.
Victor, who disappeared at dinner last night, reappeared. Sean deliberately approached him, but did not smell the rotten smell.
Detective Solomon looked not in good condition, with red bloodshot eyes, as if he had experienced a hangover.
He picked up a piece of toast that was burnt and dipped in butter, took a bite of it as if he didn't have a good appetite, and whispered: "...it's a bit strange, my head hurts when I wake up in the morning...
"It feels like I was drunk last night, but I haven't drank alcohol in years..."
Solomon turned his head and found Randy chatting with the restaurant staff in the distance, so he lowered his eyes and seemed to be talking to himself: "I may be allergic to some food here...
"I don't dare to eat or drink until I figure out the reason..." After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at the people traveling with him, as if to give a warning.
After hearing Solomon's words, Sean sighed inwardly: "Is it the detective's intuition?"
Sean also said casually: "Yeah, the meat here... doesn't taste very good, it doesn't feel like beef - I took one bite and then stopped eating it."
Taking advantage of Solomon's reminder, he indirectly informed his companions about the meat.
He had no control over whether other people could understand it, or whether they were willing to believe it.
Carmen and Victor didn't say anything. Sarah and Nash looked at each other inexplicably, looking a little at a loss.
A few words made everyone's appetite worse, and they didn't eat much.
After breakfast, the group walked out of the Shipwreck Hotel under the leadership of Randy.
Randy had already reserved a tour bus that could accommodate multiple people. After they walked to the side of the road and waited for a few minutes, the multi-person tour bus that looked like an extended sedan parked in front of the hotel.
The group of people got on the bus one after another, Sean and the four of them sat at the back of the car, and Randy sat in front of them.
When the vehicle passed through the city, everyone felt quite fresh. From time to time, they pointed and shared what they saw.
After passing through a narrow glass corridor, we entered an area with not so many high-rise buildings.
There are many factory-like buildings here, with tall chimneys extending beyond the bubbles, and the top cannot be seen.
Randy, who was introducing the scenery all the way, said: "This is the industrial area of Ocean City - due to its mastery of precision alchemy technology, Ocean City officials can refine some special metals and substances that have long been lost in the outside world.
"Industrial product exports account for 50% of Ocean City's trade revenue..."
While Randy was talking, something suddenly flew across Sean's field of vision and stopped on the car window.
Sean looked closely and saw that it was a ladybug the size of an almond.
It has a golden shell that reflects the surrounding light and looks very gorgeous and delicate...
As it walked, it flapped its membrane wings under its carapace.
Sean squinted his eyes, feeling that something was wrong with the beetle...
Snapped!
A hand slapped on the car window, hitting the golden beetle.
Sean's attention shifted to Randy's face. The tour guide with braces smiled sheepishly. When she raised her hand, the golden beetle seemed to be stuck to her hand and disappeared.
Randy clapped his hands and explained: "Various pests have appeared in agricultural areas recently - pests are very dangerous in Ocean City. They may threaten steel structures or cause a large reduction in agricultural production!
"So, Mr. Mayor asked us to kill all the small insects we see..."
"You responded to the call quite actively." Sean said expressionlessly.
He felt that he had just seen some strange details on the ladybug.
But the time was too short to see clearly.
"Golden ladybugs..." Sean thought secretly, "It's quite rare."
After passing through the industrial area, the tour bus stopped in a square.
Not far from getting off the bus, there is an ellipsoid-shaped building. The upper part of the spherical shape has bubbles sticking out, and it seems that you can directly see the ocean above your head...
On the building's turnstile entrance, flashing neon lights formed the words "Ocean City Fair."
There were several other pairs of tourists coming in and out of the place, and it seemed quite lively and lively.
Under the leadership of Randy, Sean and his group entered the expo...
During the expo, many core technologies involving the official use of Ocean City were exhibited.
Among them is the energy issue of the underwater city.
Walking in the spacious exhibition hall, Randy skillfully explained the models placed aside:
"Ocean City's first-generation energy core uses the thermal energy of submarine volcanoes and a device designed by Mr. Tesler that can utilize hydraulic energy...
"...Later, we discovered a 'hypercube' in the nearby Vinland Trench.
“That thing from a higher dimension is constantly emitting endless energy.
"Since Mr. Tesler designed a device that harnessed the energy emitted by the 'hypercube', the size of Ocean City has tripled..."
On the curtain on the wall on one side, a hypercube drawn with animation is played.
It rotates slowly in the trench, constantly changing into various three-dimensional geometric patterns...
"Tesseract?" Detective Solomon frowned and looked at the animation shown on the projector, "What is that?"
Randy stuck out his tongue: "This involves the most cutting-edge theoretical physics, and I don't know much about it. I heard from my colleagues that it is a higher-dimensional object.
"Extremely rare in nature, this one in the Vinland Trench is the first one discovered so far."
"Well... it's very magical. When you look at it from different angles, every side you see is a different cube...
"Because the human brain is a three-dimensional creation, there is no way to construct an image of it in the mind..."
Sean stared at the animation in amazement, and he had a guess in his mind: Is that some kind of mysterious object?
If it is a mysterious legacy, how should it be classified as an infinite energy source?
According to legend, the mysterious heritage of the S-class that exceeds the A-class specifications?
Solomon frowned and asked, "If such a thing exists, aren't you afraid that powerful countries will rob it?"
"Mr. Tesler has long said that the hypercube cannot be moved, so it does not matter if the relevant information is released.
"Moreover, he hopes to use this to attract outstanding scientists from all over the world to come to Ocean City to jointly solve this mysterious thing..."
Sean pondered for a moment: "It can't be such a coincidence. The completion of Ocean City should be related to the endless energy in the Vinland Trench. The so-called first-generation energy that uses the thermal energy of submarine volcanoes is just the first step to be able to use the hypercube. …
A light flashed in Sean's eyes: "The completion of Ocean City must be because of this thing!
"The reason why it was said that it was discovered at a later stage is to cover up Verne and Tesler's 'deep conspiracy' and 'hidden secrets'..."
Sean stared for a long time at the strange thing that was constantly rotating and changing.
After leaving the energy exhibition hall, Sean and his party visited the exhibition hall involving "precision alchemy".
This fusion product of ancient alchemy and clockwork technology, the mysterious discipline that once created Olivia, is now in the hands of Ocean City officials and has become one of the core technologies used to build this underwater city.
In the exhibition hall of Precision Alchemy, Sean heard the familiar name again: Dal Finch.
In the early sixteenth century, the legendary great man combined ancient alchemy and watchmaking techniques.
Recognized as the "Father of Precision Alchemy".
"Da Vinci is inextricably linked to the Candlelight Reading Club and the Daedalus Foundation...
The copper pendant given by the Pompeii old man is now lying quietly in Sean's invisible stomach.
“What is the relationship between the Candlelight Reading Club and the Daedalus Foundation?
"How did Nikolai Tesler acquire precision alchemy technology?"
While Sean was thinking, he unconsciously looked at Olivia beside him.
At this time, the sophisticated girl held her head high, and her emotionless red eyes stared quietly at a yellowed painting on the wall of the exhibition hall.
The painting shows an old man with a curly beard and wise eyes.
Portrait of Dal Vinci.
Everything seems to be somehow connected...
Sean felt as if he had entered a "maze".
