The ethereal whale song did not last long, and soon disappeared into the vast sound of waves.
Gao Yi brought the samples back safely. At the same time, Tianyan's scientific investigation of the nearby ecological environment was already in full swing.
They will stay above this sea area for at least the next few hours, waiting for researchers to make judgments on the planning of subsequent routes.
Gao Yi accompanied Professor Lu to work in the laboratory for a while, but he was really not qualified for such an overly professional research task, so he could only find excuses to leave.
Of course Professor Lu didn't care either.
He would inevitably feel uncomfortable if he had many outsiders in his team. Fortunately, even if his level was very low, he was self-aware and would not insist on following his own ideas. After staying in the materialistic world of Jingshu for a long time, Professor Lu actually I began to feel that this was also a rare virtue.
"Professor, I'm a little dizzy, go outside and get some fresh air..."
Gao Yi had a listless look on his face, like a student trying his best to skip the warm-up in a physical education class.
Professor Lu didn't even raise his head: "Go."
"etc."
Just as Gao Yi was about to leave, he was stopped by a voice from behind.
A transparent tea cup was handed over, and the wolfberry inside was floating: "When you come back later, remember to get me some hot water."
Under the cool light.
Gao Yi was walking alone on the stairs and glanced at his mobile phone, which had no signal. It was already around one o'clock in the morning.
Compared with the bustle when he boarded the ship before, the Sky Eye was much deserted at this moment. The entire first floor was silent. Except for the rotating Executive Bureau commissioners, there was almost no living person.
no way.
After all, unlike researchers, seafarers and specialists have heavier responsibilities. At this time, it is impossible to let a shipload of people accompany you without rest. In the hours before the results come out, they must hurry up and respond to precious questions. physical strength.
Pantry.
Gao Yi added hot water and looked calmly at Ah Shen who was walking behind him holding a thermos bottle: "Are you here to get the hot water too?"
"Um."
To say that the place with the most "living people" now, apart from the laboratory below, is probably the bridge above. According to Ah Shen's previous report, none of the old guys inside are willing to sleep. They have to wait until Professor Lu comes out with the results. .
“I have to say, the atmosphere here is pretty good.”
Gao Yi lowered his head and spoke in a low voice: "It's not what I thought before. No one trusts anyone. Several people belonging to different factions are looking at each other."
"After all, this matter can't be taken carelessly. It's different from playing house on land."
Ah Shen tacitly said to himself: "If one person accidentally capsizes the boat, everyone will have no cake to eat."
"Mr. Gao, do you still think the tribunal is hidden on the ship?"
"Hard to say."
Gao Yi covered the tea cup and tightened it tightly: "The ship is too big. If we really don't want to show up, we won't be able to find the person."
"More than this, I care more about the whale song. It has been so long and it still hasn't appeared again?"
Ah Shen forcefully blocked the mouth of the thermos bottle with the cork: "There is no doubt that the whale song can cross the ocean, but it is just because it is too far away and cannot be captured by human ears alone... In fact, it never stops. "
"That's interesting. I can only say that we came to the right place for this place."
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the corridor.
Gao Yi poked his head out and saw several crew members already taking their places in an anxious atmosphere: "What happened?"
He opened his mouth curiously, but only received a hasty message.
"Just received the news, continue driving on the original route."
"Original route?"
Gao Yi returned to the tea room with a thoughtful look on his face: "It seems that Professor Lu has already analyzed and completed the model of the nearby sea area, otherwise he would not have made a sudden advance at this time."
"etc."
He suddenly turned around and looked at Ah Shen: "...from which direction did the whale song come?"
"Southeast, too."
"southeast?"
at the same time.
In the bridge, a similar voice came from the mouth of a certain person in charge. He looked at Professor Lu who had just come up from below, and did not hesitate to express surprise on his face: "How could such a coincidence happen?!"
"It's not a coincidence. I can only say that this is the inevitable consequence of the development of the situation."
Professor Lu's face was full of lingering fatigue, and he said in a deep voice: "The situation here is more serious than I thought... Originally, I thought that at least close to the deep sea, the interaction between fish schools in such a large space would be low. In the shallow sea.”
"However, I have sampled some common small deep-sea fishes such as the dragon fish, the double-bearded fish, and found traces of that weird energy. This means that this is not the end, and the answer is still lurking further away. under the waters."
The captain looked over and said, "Do you want to follow the whale song?"
Outside the bridge, two people holding water bottles and tea cups hurried over and heard a voice coming from inside.
"Go after it!"
A low roar came from below, and Gao Yi felt a slight vibration on the deck. It was the sound of the turbine engine starting. Then, the propeller started running, and the entire Sky Eye's water cooling system began to circulate.
They want to chase towards the source of the singing!
"Mr. Gao...the signal here is already at its limit..."
A vague voice sounded in Gao Yi's ears.
On the coastline, Descartes was wrapped in a large raincoat, worried: "We are already so far away, haven't we found the source of the problem yet?"
"No."
Gao Yi came to a deserted corner and chose to keep the story short: "The deep sea is ahead."
"Descartes...the guys on the shore are in trouble..."
"Here...leave it to me and Ah Shen..."
Zhi!
Disconnect.
The Sky Eye has crossed the continental shelf and entered the deep sea.
Here beyond the edge of the continental slope, the depth of the sea water will begin to vary from 200 meters to 10,000 meters. At an average depth of 3,800 meters, more than 60% of the ocean is still deeper than this. group data.
Beneath is the dark seabed covered with silt. The empty plains are ruthlessly interrupted by mid-ocean ridges, submarine mountains and trenches. Under the billions of seawater, there is a starry sky beyond the reach of even thought. Looking up at the insignificance and ignorance of the universe, they are all reflected in the water.
In the sound of smooth driving.
The weather gradually improved.
The rapid raindrops began to slow down and the roaring sea breeze gradually calmed down. Gao Yi came to the deck from the lounge and yawned tiredly.
"It's already four o'clock..."
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Yi couldn't hold back the torment of sleepiness, so he and Ah Shen took turns taking a nap for a while. Looking at the bridge at this time, there weren't many people left.
In order to maintain energy for the next day, many people have rested, leaving only a few shift workers to continuously monitor the movement of the ship.
Gao Yi was thinking about whether to go back and sleep for a while, when he suddenly saw a wisp of smoke slowly drifting past him.
?
He turned around, his expression slightly changed.
I didn't know when, but a large piece of mist appeared in front of the route, like a long stack of clouds, surrounding the surrounding area airtightly.
"Why is it foggy?"
