The Trieste dived slowly.
It was dark outside.
In fact, when the depth exceeds 300 meters, the light on the water cannot penetrate, not to mention it is still night time in Japan.
The deep submersible comes with four high-power xenon lamps. There is nothing in the place swept by the light beam, and the water in the deep sea is extremely clear.
But Fingel still had to move from observation port to observation port.
This is an operating procedure that must be followed.
"You can't see anything, it's really scary." Fingel muttered to himself, thinking only of the deep dive many years ago.
"You should be lucky that you can't see anything. If someone outside reaches out to say hello to you at this time, you should scream." Caesar said calmly.
"Damn it! Boss, don't scare me! I have a heart disease! If you get sick under the water, you can't find a hospital!"
Fingel always talks nonsense.
Caesar shrugged his shoulders and stared at the brass dashboard, ignoring him.
Caesar had little underwater experience. To be precise, this was his first time performing such a role, but he had done similar diving many times before he was an adult...but not so deep.
He knew very well that he must learn to give himself psychological hints in a place like this.
Everyone has a fear of being in a claustrophobic space. But the right psychological cues can relieve stress.
For example, right now, the pressure gauge shows that the water pressure outside is about 120 atmospheres. If a normal person is exposed to this pressure, the force on his body will be about 120 kilograms per square centimeter. There is no doubt that he will be crushed immediately. All alveoli are crushed,
But if you change the angle, a beautiful girl weighing 50 kilograms wears a pair of shoes. Assuming that the area of her heel is 1 square centimeter, the pressure on her heel is approximately equal to half of the current water pressure outside.
Caesar hinted to himself that even if the deep submersible exploded now, it wouldn't be a big deal. Being exposed to the sea would just be equivalent to being trampled with double strength by countless beautiful girls wearing high-heeled shoes... trampled with love and so on...
There is a saying that probably no one except Caesar can do this kind of suggestion.
Of course there is an easier way.
For example... imagine that the strange species greeting you outside the porthole is the vice-principal, a slovenly old guy, swaying a big tail like a mermaid, swimming over with a glass of whiskey...
Suddenly there was nothing to be afraid of!
Caesar finally relaxed, but Fingel suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
Fingel's expression was solemn: "The xenon lamp flashed just now... something swam past."
Chu Zihang subconsciously popped out the knife, but Caesar quickly pushed it back for him.
Just kidding, there is only so much space inside the deep submersible. When Chu Zihang swung his knife, he would seriously injure two teammates first and then destroy the rhythm of the deep submersible.
"Let me take a look."
Caesar changed to the observation position, Chu Zihang moved to the instrument panel, and Fingel sat in front of the valve.
Caesar checked several other observation ports, but his field of vision was also empty.
This made his suddenly tense mood relax again.
If it was indeed something that swam past the deep submersible just now, then it must still be in the nearby waters. The xenon light beam on the deep submersible is very powerful, and the space within a distance of 100 meters around it is illuminated, leaving no trace at all. Blind spot, but Caesar couldn't see anything.
"Did you see it wrong? Is it some kind of deep-sea fish?"
Caesar quipped.
For a rare moment, Fingel said seriously: "I did see something swimming by."
"what?"
"A... woman?" Fingel himself felt that this statement was ridiculous.
Caesar was stunned for a moment, then leaned on several observation openings again to look out.
"Did you see clearly?" He looked at Fingel doubtfully.
"I'm not sure," Fingel thought for a moment. "There was indeed a shadow that blocked the light for a moment, and then I saw the dark
hair. "
Caesar glanced at the pressure gauge in the cabin: "The current pressure in the cabin is on the high side. People may experience mild hallucinations under this pressure. If someone is indeed swimming by from outside, then there are hundreds of women swimming with both hands right now. Tread on him twice as hard..."
"Dragon?" Fingel said what Caesar did not say.
"The depth reaches 1,300 meters, Yuan Zhisheng, are the embryonic heartbeat signals detected there normal?" Caesar grabbed the walkie-talkie.
"It's normal. The heartbeat signal of the embryo is very stable. There is no possibility of sudden hatching at the moment." Yuan Zhisheng's voice came from the earphones, "What's going on?"
Caesar hesitated for a few seconds: "There is nothing more to report at the moment, we will observe carefully..."
He suddenly froze and looked at Fingel blankly. Fingel also noticed it and his face darkened.
The vibrations of the deep submersible intensified, and to make matters worse, they all felt a slight weightlessness...
Caesar turned to look at the pressure gauge. The number on the pressure gauge jumped and increased!
Under normal circumstances, there is only one possibility for a deep submersible to experience a sudden increase in pressure, which is to dive at high speed!
"1370 meters...1380 meters...1400 meters...1480...1560..."
Chu Zihang reported the numbers at high speed, and they completed the dive that originally took ten minutes in just ten seconds!
"Caesar! Caesar!" Yuan Zhisheng's voice came from the earphones, "I show here that your depth is increasing rapidly! Don't act too hastily! Report the depth to me... Damn it!"
You can imagine this guy going ballistic on the boat.
"Damn it! The depth jumps so fast that I can't even see it. How can I report the depth to you!" Caesar looked at the depth meter and was stunned.
The depth gauge is divided into four digital discs: ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. The ones digit disc is spinning so fast that it cannot be read by the naked eye, but the tens digit disc can barely be seen clearly.
They sink ten meters every second!
"We are descending at high speed! We are losing buoyancy! The reason is unknown!" Caesar yelled into the microphone.
"This is not a dive at all, okay?" Fingel yelled, "Don't comfort yourself, we are basically just rocks that fell into the sea... and we are smashing into the trench!"
On the Monyach, Yuan Zhisheng was furious: "Slow down! Find a way to slow down! The sudden increase in water pressure will damage your shell!"
"You can't slow down!" Fingel's voice was distorted as if it was being torn apart. "How can a stone slow down itself?"
"What's going on? Caesar! Check the instruments and valves, quick!" Before the cable was disconnected, Yuan Zhisheng's anxious voice came from the earphones.
"Three of the four airtight chambers have problems! We can't control the valves of these three airtight chambers! They are releasing air at full speed and sucking in seawater! We are losing buoyancy!" Caesar yelled and pulled down one valve after another. Trying to forcibly cut off the pipeline of the airtight cabin to retain the last bit of gas in the airtight cabin.
But it had no effect at all. This old-fashioned equipment was completely unresponsive. A large number of bubbles floated up from around the deep submersible, and there was only a thunderous roar in the ears.
"The Rock Flow Research Institute has prepared an emergency plan. If you can turn on the powerful power source of the Trieste, and cooperate with the stabilizer fins and balance rudder, you can enter the water gliding state! It can slow down the sinking speed. But it must be fast, and then Soon you will fall into the trench and be smashed to pieces on the sea bed!"
A childish voice came from the headphones.
"Is the powerful power source you're talking about the power system that was added later?" Caesar grabbed the belt on the bulkhead and stood up. He smashed the glass cover on the console with his elbow and tightly grasped the yellow wrench inside. .
"Do we still have such a thing as a power system?" Fingel felt a little surprised.
"Yes, but I don't dare to use it easily." Caesar looked tense, biting the cigar fiercely, "The technology is not yet mature."
"It doesn't matter if the technology is mature or not, if you don't use it now, you will die, okay?" Fingel said, "What technology?"
"The Equipment Department installed a small nuclear reactor inside this thing as a power source.
The energy of the system, but the miniaturized nuclear reactor is not stable enough. If something goes wrong..." Caesar had cold sweat on his forehead.
Fingel actually felt better when he heard the words "nuclear reactor", because compared to the words "equipment department", nuclear reactors are nothing.
He has known the virtues of the Equipment Department since eight years ago!
"So what if something goes wrong? The most you can do is die!"
"It will explode," Caesar said with a serious expression. "Exploding a nuclear bomb in the deep sea may cause the already unstable Japanese ocean plate to slide, causing earthquakes...tsunamis...the worst case scenario is that Japan will sink."
Fingel was silent: "The academy didn't send us to search for dragons, they sent us to destroy Japan!"
"The depth is 6,400 meters!" Chu Zihang shouted, "We still have about one kilometer before we hit the bottom of the trench! There are two minutes left! I have restored the deep submersible to its normal position!"
"You, what are you doing?" Yuan Zhisheng's panicked voice suddenly came from the communication channel, "No, stop! Damn it!"
Then there was a "plop".
Something fell into the water.
Caesar asked, "What happened?"
A childish and bitter voice came from across the channel: "Miss Perona jumped into the sea."
"Natsuya!?"
The three of them exclaimed in unison, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Zihang did it because he knew Xia Mi's identity, and the other two also did it because they trusted Gu Bei.
Xia Mi was the person Gu Bei put into the team, and he promised that as long as the Dragon King didn't appear, he would definitely be able to protect their safety.
There was a harsh and terrifying sound above the three people's heads. It was the sound that occurs when metal is bent to the point of breaking.
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared and was replaced by the feeling of overweight. They felt like they were rising in a high-speed elevator.
"Slowing down!" Chu Zihang said loudly.
They are still sinking, but their speed is decreasing sharply. According to this trend, they are expected to reduce their speed to zero before kissing the bottom of the trench.
Caesar and Fingel felt incredulous: "Did Xia Mi do this?"
Caesar and Fingel both thought of Xia Mi's small figure, but they didn't expect that there was a lot of energy hidden in it.
But it would be unbelievable to say that this was done by a mixed race.
Caesar and Fingel looked at each other and came to a certain conclusion.
Xia Mi...if he wasn't a strange alien like Xiang Gu Bei, the only possibility was that he was a pure-blooded dragon.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a powerful body, move freely in the high-pressure deep sea, and be able to drag the Di Trieste.
However, due to Gu Bei's presence and the current environment, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not choose to expose this matter.
"The speed has slowed down... what have you done?" Yuan Zhisheng's voice reappeared on the channel, his words full of disbelief, "Or is this the girl who did it!?"
Several people in the deep submersible looked at each other. Chu Zihang finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Xia Mi, are you there?"
"I am here."
In the deep sea, someone is answering the call.
Yuan Zhisheng, who was on the sea, also heard the sound coming from the deep sea.
In the unspeakable silence, Diliste sank slowly.
At a depth of 7430 meters, the speedometer finally returned to zero.
The deep submersible DiTrieste was suspended in the deep sea with difficulty, tilting slightly as if being held by a big hand.
After a long time, Yuan Zhisheng's voice came down: "It's a safety hook. I used the safety hook to save you. It has nothing to do with Xia Mi."
This is a lie.
There is indeed a safety rope connecting the Dieste and the Monyach, but as early as the moment they sank rapidly, Yuan Zhisheng used a winch on the ship to gradually tighten the safety rope.
It's a pity that the safety rope has been broken.
This is normal
, using a safety rope to hold the submersible is like bungee jumping with a rubber band tied to your feet.
But now, no one refutes Yuan Zhisheng's "lack of common sense" behavior.
Everyone chooses to ignore this.
"Why is our oxygen reserve only 34%?" Caesar was shocked.
"When I tried to adjust the submersible just now, I probably opened the wrong valve and let out most of the oxygen." Chu Zihang said dullly.
Fingel and Caesar were silent for a long time, lowering their heads and holding their foreheads together.
"What are you pressing so randomly?" The two of them raised their heads together, veins popping on their foreheads, and yelled angrily.
"I didn't find the work manual, so I could only try it casually." Chu Zihang said dullly.
Fingel and Caesar fell silent again, lowering their heads and holding their foreheads again.
"Okay," Caesar reluctantly cheered up, "34% of the oxygen reserve is enough to support us underwater activities for 30 minutes. Let's hurry up."
"Chu Zihang controls the progress of the deep submersible, I control the depth, and Fingel is responsible for observation... We are not far from the dragon embryo. We need to accurately locate it and capture it with the robotic arm. As long as we don't make mistakes, There will be no danger. If the embryo is immature, even dragons cannot force it to hatch early..."
He suddenly fell silent, something was wrong...
It was clear that the lighting system inside and outside the watertight cabin had been powered off just now, but now he could see Fingel and Chu Zihang's faces clearly and there was no need for a flashlight.
He slowly turned his head and moved his eyes towards the porthole...
Chu Zihang was doing the same thing.
They didn't dare to turn their heads suddenly, lest they frighten themselves. It was better to get used to this incredible thing... slowly.
There was something lying on the side window, looking at them. The child's light was like a giant candle, illuminating the entire watertight cabin into a blaze of fire!
——
Osaka, Kukakukan.
Due to a certain guest, the Paradise Hall had to close its doors for one day.
Manager Sakurai's resentment toward someone grew exponentially.
But someone didn't care and just chatted with Kazama Ruri.
He had set up a barrier in the room so that the outside world could not enter or pry into the scene here.
Gu Bei took something out of his arms and put it on the table: "This is for you."
Those are two metal patches.
Kazama Ruri picked it up and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Gu Bei pointed to his ear: "Something that can be used in the decisive battle."
Kazama Liuli calmed down and then put the things away.
"Speaking of which, you promised to help me get revenge," Kazama Liuli looked at Gu Bei, her eyes changed, "Don't come out, this is a matter between me and Yuan Zhisheng."
Well, when it comes to Yuan Zhisheng, Kazama Ruri can't suppress Yuan Zhisheng.
Gu Bei smiled: "I think you have some misunderstandings."
He shook his head: "You are like Yuan Zhisheng seeking revenge. That is a matter between the two of you. I can only guarantee that the matter between you two will not involve the Snake Qiba Family and the Menggui Zhong, but..."
[In view of the general environment,
"but?"
Gu Bei's eyes sharpened: "But ghosts are bound to die. Because of the existence of the emperor's blood, you are not a ghost even if you break through the boundaries. That's why you have the basis to sit here and negotiate with me. But not everyone has the emperor's blood." , just like..."
Gu Bei stopped talking.
Fengjian Liuli's face was a little gloomy, he understood what Gu Bei meant.
According to Zhao Bei, the entire Menggui sect, all hybrids with uncontrolled bloodline, will die.
Including Sakurai Kogure.
Kazama Liuli wanted to pick up the knife right now and perform a wave of Huaqiang on Gu Bei's head, but his reason told him that it was just a waste of his efforts.
The absolute crushing of strength is like a god facing an ant.
What the ants do cannot change God’s mind.
"Is there no other way?"
To his surprise, Gu Bei seemed to have been waiting for his words: "Of course!"
He looked up at Gu Bei.
"Two choices." Gu Bei held out two fingers.
"First, I erase their bloodline and make them ordinary people."
"What about the second one?"
Gu Bei smiled.
"The Mongols have merged into Nadotsu. As the Japanese branch of Nadotsu, I will send a group of aliens as my team. The hybrids of the Mongols will serve as trainee members of Nadotsu. Each trainee member is in action. Every time, a different person will be paired with him, and the partner will give points to the trainee members. Those who perform well within one year will be converted into full members of Dudutong. Those who perform poorly or even have violations will be dealt with according to the specific circumstances after review. ……what do you think?"
After listening to Gu Bei's words with a strange look on her face, Fengjian Liuli immediately realized: "It turns out you are targeting the monsters."
"Actually, the Snake Qiba Family is also fine, but currently Kassel is still an ally who can go anywhere. It's not a good idea to poach allies."
Kazama Liuli had a dark look on her face.
After some "friendly" discussions, Kazama Liuli could only "happily" accept Gu Bei's recruitment.
It was getting darker and gloomier.
Gu Beixin felt something, and turned his head, looking through the only large window in the house and looking at the sky outside.
"It is going to rain."
Kazama Ruri: "Yes, do you want to stay today?"
Gu Bei shook his head: "I have friends waiting for me in the rain."
Fengjian Liuli didn't know why, but Gu Bei didn't want to say any more.
As he said, there are friends waiting for him in the rain.
He jumped out of the window of the Japanese house, disappeared in mid-air in an instant, and then reappeared in the distant air, flying away in a blinking manner.
Fengjian Liuli came to the window and watched Gu Bei leave.
He stretched his hand out the window, and a thin drizzle of rain fell.
