My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!.

Chapter 233 232. The Breath of the Deep Sea ([-])

It's a pity that I have been so stereotyped for a long time in my life. The height of 159 is destined to be sexy or cute, and I can only choose the latter. If I really want to touch Chu Zihang's head, I can only wait for him to be willing to be with me someday. When sharing the same bed, I got up in the middle of the night to secretly check if there was a long spin on the back of his head.

"I'm looking at the fish." Chu Zihang made an excuse for himself. At this time, there happened to be a long line of silver fish swimming past the shell of the submersible. These little creatures were not afraid of this uninvited guest in the deep sea. , there is no meaning of avoidance at all.

"What's so special about fish?" Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand. When we went to the aquarium together, Chu Zihang was like a biological knowledge transmitter when facing all kinds of fish. It was hard for you to feel that you were coming with him. For playing, I feel more like I am a member of the elementary school spring outing team, and Teacher Chu is patiently taking the opportunity to spread the knowledge of oceanography.

"The total biomass on land accounts for less than 1% of the total biomass on the earth, and the remaining 99% are in the sea." Chu Zihang said, "This is the hometown of all creatures on the earth, so some scholars believe that , Dragons are also born in the sea, they can swim when they are born."

"You might as well say that dragons are alien creatures." Caesar is very contemptuous of this speculation, "If they evolved like other creatures, there is no doubt that there is a gap comparable to the gap between them." In the process, before other creatures showed civilization and high enough wisdom, they were more than tens of thousands of years ahead, and so far we have not completely reproduced the alchemy of the dragon race."

"If you say that, isn't it the same for human beings as other creatures? Upright walking, tool intelligence, and social civilization." Lu Mingfei said, "Every item is a dimensionality reduction blow to other creatures when it is born."

"That's different. Human evolution has a complete development line. At the earliest time, everyone was a primate, and then there was a divergence between monkeys and apes, and then to anthropoids, and then developed into humans. You can still see gorillas and apes today. Monkeys, we have a common ancestor with them, and their appearance is very similar, which is very clear evidence of evolution."

Caesar said, "But dragons are different. There are no fossils of ancient dragons in the world. They did not evolve from dinosaurs, and modern lizards are not much related to them. At most, they are a little close in size. They It’s like an intelligent race that appeared out of nowhere, born with the ability to master the elements of speech and alchemy, and has its own language, do you think this is a bit like an alien civilization in a science fiction novel?”

"It's really a little bit what you said...Could it be that we have been fighting alien creatures?" Lu Mingfei was persuaded by Caesar in a daze.

"You are trying to explain the dragon clan with science." Chu Zihang said, "The dragon clan doesn't know science. To us, the candle dragon ignited a huge amount of compressed air to explode, but in the eyes of the dragon clan, it just made the fire element violently explode." Bloom, like Harry Potter vs. Alien Predator, magic vs. technology."

"This tone of proof is as if you are a dragon, using the dragon's first perspective." Caesar teased.

"From the enemy's point of view, you can understand the enemy's way of thinking." Chu Zihang said lightly.

The atmosphere in the deep submersible finally eased up, and it could even be called joyous. Caesar and Lu Mingfei could always find something to talk about, and then Chu Zihang had to interrupt and put forward some academic opinions. Can grab a certain excuse and joke for a long time.

But this happiness is limited to the deep submersible. Right above the Trieste deep submersible, there is no blind spot without a camera probe. Slowly falling into the quiet deep sea, in this dark and monotonous world, only the light beams on the deep submersible are monotonously strafing back and forth.

After so many years, she finally had the right opportunity to come to the depths of the sea where she had dreamed about many times. Everything in Black Swan Harbor was like yesterday. At that time, she witnessed everything with her own eyes but was powerless. In the past, she had enough strength to retrieve what she had lost.

Xiyue lay flat on the shell of the deep submersible, fixed her diving suit and safety line with metal hooks, and relaxed all over to ensure that she was in the best condition at all times.

The deeper you go, the greater the pressure of the seawater. Even with diving suits and oxygen, there is a limit to the depth that humans can bear. Activities that exceed a certain level in just a few minutes will kill a person.

But this doesn't matter to Xiyue, she doesn't even carry an oxygen cylinder, because she can breathe directly in the water, and there is no problem with the increasing atmospheric pressure, she is born to be the darling of the water.

She closed her eyes, and her infinitely extended hearing enveloped the surrounding kilometers of sea water, the sound of swimming fish, the sound of the internal parts of the Trieste being worn out, the voices of the people in the submersible, and even the sounds of the people who were supposed to arrive. She can know the destination and the movement in the deepest part of the trench.

Even if Caesar turns on the weasel in the water, he can't reach this level, and it has surpassed the sonar radar that humans can use in the sea. Xiyue can feel the strong and powerful beating of the dragon's heart, which represents the vitality of life. , every time it seems to be waving to her, saying come on, come on... I miss you very much...

Xiyue couldn't tell whether it was an invitation or a temptation, she only knew that the voice was wrong, Chao Chao was not like this, the voice didn't sound like a loved one at all, but like a flirtatious female ghost hiding behind the dilapidated gauze curtain of Lanruo Temple , only showing a pair of charming eyes, and the beautiful voice lingered in the closed temple gate for a long time, unable to dissipate.

Xiyue arrived in Japan from Chicago and worked as an undercover agent for more than a year in the ghosts. From the materials of the ghosts, she found the record of the shipwreck of the Lenin. When she was an egg, she clearly saw the Chao was taken aboard the Lenin by helicopter.

Among the fierce ghosts, many people are keen to mention the road to conferring gods, which can make the mixed race reborn and eventually evolve into a real dragon, but no one can tell what is there, no matter whether it is the fierce ghosts or the Bajia of Sheqi. , They all call the deepest thing God, and they keep it secret every time they mention it.

Xiyue knows very well that the god the Japanese fear is the White Emperor, and the ability of the White Emperor is to control the spirit. In the shipwreck many years ago, someone deliberately sank the wreck carrying the Chaoshio Keel Cross into the sea , so as to wake up the emperor who has been sleeping in the depths of the sea.

This is a terrible approach. Once in contact with the embryo of the White Emperor, everything will be controlled by spiritual power. Xiyue has never dared to go to the deepest part of the seabed alone, because she is not sure what it has actually become.Now that she heard Chao Chao's heartbeat, there are only two possibilities, either Chao Chao has not touched the White King and is hatching safely, or...she has become a captive of the White King.

In the central control room of Kassel College, Schneider is sitting in the center of the hall. Norma presents different images in the form of holographic projections on the front, back, left, and right sides. The results of the sonar scan, the underwater video taken by the Trieste, the sea area of ​​Japan The weather conditions...all the information gathered in front of him.

Schneider flicked to the right every time he finished processing a matter, and the holographic projection screen disappeared instantly, but a new screen was projected, joining the ranks waiting to be processed.On the surface, Yuan Zhisheng, the on-site commander, is in charge, but he is only Schneider's spokesperson. Schneider is far away across the ocean and firmly controls the situation. Norma and Kaguya Ji's support make him feel like he is on the scene.

Professor Manstein walked quickly into the central control room with the document bag in his arms, and inserted a black card into the card slot, so that he had the highest authority in the central control room.

"What are you doing here?" Schneider was a little surprised. The Yongyeon Project is a matter of the Executive Department. Manstein is just a disciplinary committee member and has no right to participate in this matter, but now he is holding a black card in his hand. Card.There are only two principals or six school managers in the entire Kassel College who can have a black card, which means that Manstein now has the authorization of one of them.

"I'm here to stop the Ryongyeon Project." Manstein helped his glasses that had fallen off a little due to his fast running.

"This is a plan jointly developed by the principal and the executive department, and it has the support of the school board, and you don't have that right," Schneider said.

"According to the statute of the academy, if one of the trustees votes against a task, the task has to be interrupted," said Manstein. I'm here."

"It's impossible." Schneider shook his head. "When the Longyuan plan was formulated, we didn't know that the academy couldn't build a deep submersible that could reach the depths of the trench, but the secretary sent by Pompeii raised his hand to show that Pompeii collected The Trieste, which has legendary deep-diving equipment, can be delivered directly if the academy needs it. The equipment department habitually rejected the proposal, saying that they would contact them if necessary, and those people felt that if they accepted it, they would represent them However, a few days later, the Trieste was sent to Chicago, and Pompey seems to have known that the equipment department did not have that capability."

"On the surface, the Trieste is just a collection, which is placed in a museum for people to visit and participate in public welfare activities. But when we saw it, we were all shocked. This thing is carefully maintained, and all the machinery The accessories are as brand new as when they were built. Obviously, Pompeii thought about reactivating this deep submersible, otherwise there is no need to spend so much money to maintain such a collection that is not needed at all. He regards this as an attack on the deep sea. To maintain the weapons and equipment.” Schneider continued, “So I tried to suggest that Caesar be included in the dive team, but Pompey expressed his pleasure that his son had the opportunity to drive his collection to carry out the mission, which shows that he felt that the dive It is absolutely safe to dive, why would such a person stop the project he supported?"

"You should know that Pompeo seldom attends school board meetings directly, and his brother Frost has always been acting on his behalf." Manstein said euphemistically.

"Frost asked Pompeii to stop the plan because he was afraid that something would happen to Caesar, the heir of the Gattuso family?" Schneider immediately understood Pompeii's reasons for being inconsistent. Frost is a well-known poor guy, involving many cores Confidential things, Pompey never told Frost, and Frost probably didn't know that the whole plan, including letting Caesar dive together, had Pompey's support.

"Some things I can't say very clearly, after all, there will always be invisible eyes watching around." Manstein looked around, especially staying on those monitoring equipment for a few seconds, which is in the Tell Schneider that their conversations will be recorded by Norma.

"Norma, leave the central control room and give us a little free time." Schneider immediately understood.

"Understood, from now on, the central control room will not be recorded by me for 5 minutes." Norma's figure echoed in the air, and the monitoring equipment immediately stopped power supply, and the rotating camera head was pulled down.

"No way." Manstein shrugged his shoulders as if relieved, showing a bitter smile, "I'm just a civil servant, and I can't refuse the order from the school director."

"Now you and I are very clear that Pompeo's intention is not the case. He supports the dive plan. Do you still want to stop the operation?" Schneider said.

"I must have a reason to deal with Frost."

"Then you don't have to do anything, just watch quietly, Pompeii will be responsible for covering you, even if Frost uses his power to kick you off in anger, I will report you Clarify your itinerary, and Pompey will naturally understand what happened when he sees it. Although that guy looks very unreliable, he is very good at protecting his own people. If he was not there, Caesar would not always be in the academy. Do whatever you want." Schneider turned back to his work, "And I have a feeling that Pompeii knows something, he knows what's in the depths of the abyss, so he has that deep submersible, he wants us to send people into Japan Trench, even if it means putting his own son at risk."

"This kind of thinking is a bit of a conspiracy theory." Manstein shook his head, "He is our school manager, how can a school manager hide information he knows from the college? They are the funders of the college, and they are extremely eager Gain the benefits of the dragon mysteries through the Academy."

"Just take my battlefield intuition as a member of the executive department. The Japanese branch is the same as Pompeii. After learning about the Longyuan plan, they showed great enthusiasm for it. The rock flow of the Japanese branch The Institute cooperated with us for the first time, constantly asking for data, communicating day and night for research, as if the thing was their illegitimate child with enthusiasm. At the beginning, the Japanese refused to admit that it was a dragon embryo , the day after Caesar's team arrived at the Japanese branch, their attitude suddenly changed again, expressing their full support for the Yongyeon plan, and they got the government's ban to control the sea area in just two days, and quickly mobilized six floating platforms to build Sea bases, always make people feel that they also know something about the things in the sea."

"It seems that everyone knows some secrets, but we who made the Yongyeon plan actually don't know anything, just like a group of idiots caught in the middle?" Manstein said, "This idea is more crazy than conspiracy theory, When did the academy become such a useless place? It’s unbelievable that the most elite dragon slaying team in the world doesn’t know what they are facing!”
