My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!.

Chapter 234 233. Breath of the Deep Sea ([-])

"So I asked Yuan Zhisheng, the director of the executive bureau of the Japanese branch, to be the on-site commander. He has a high status in Saki Eight. If there is any problem, he will be responsible. Lu Mingfei also applied to temporarily withdraw from the dive The team changed to follow at the dive base, and I agreed to her request, so that we have double insurance." Schneider swiped the screen and brought up a numerical interface with a percentage written on it, and the number on it is now blue 15%, with a series of voiceprint readings going up and down.

"What is this?" Manstein asked.

"A safety device," Schneider said. "There are always rumors about me on the Night Watch forums, saying that I was involved in the Greenland ice incident, and after that incident, I became this person who was on a ventilator." It’s a ghost of fate. This is not groundless but true, but very few people in the academy know about the past.”

"Tell me."

"The Yongyeon Project is actually a replica of the Greenland Ice Sea. That time we also heard the strange heartbeat of creatures. Since it was the first time we faced such a signal in the depths of the ocean, we didn't have any experience to confirm what it was, but the Greenland Ice Sea The sea is the place where the ice sea copper pillars were discovered, and there is reason to speculate that it is related to the dragon clan." Schneider said, "The school board of directors quickly passed the task of sending outstanding students to dive, and everything went smoothly at first, but later the voice channel Extremely chaotic, I heard the students yelling what door they found, and then the news cut off. I didn't grab an underwater rifle and jump into the frozen sea, thinking that I must never lose my students, they are the students I most admire Proud elite, if something hurts them I'll take it with them."

"The place where the students lost contact is not deep. I can reach it with only the diving suit, but I found nothing in the target location, no blood, no missing equipment, and I didn't see anything called a door. Something. At this moment, I felt the extreme cold from behind, and I realized that there was something behind me. Without any hesitation, I directly pulled the trigger directly behind me. It was just that momentary effort, I Before I even had time to twist my neck to see what it was, the extremely rapid drop in temperature froze the sea water around me into a solid block of ice, and I saw the golden pupils of the Dragon Clan flashing from the reflection on the ice surface But at that moment, I realized that it was a dragon, and it had a premonition of danger and hatched ahead of time."

Schneider said, "The people on board realized that I had lost contact and immediately retrieved the safety line. Fortunately, the safety line was not destroyed by the instantaneous low temperature. I was fished back. When I came out of the water, it looked like an ice sculpture from a thousand years ago. The whole I was trapped in a 4-meter-high circular icicle. The extreme cold destroyed half of my face and even invaded my respiratory tract. When the doctor rescued me, my respiratory tract was as crisp as a thin biscuit. It will shatter when touched. The doctor artificially reshaped the plastic airway for me, and I have to wear an oxygen mask at all times to ensure that usually, if I die one day, it will either be caused by a dragon or respiratory system failure."

"Having learned from the past, Pompeii still felt relieved to let his precious son dive." Manstein couldn't believe it.

"So don't say it's a conspiracy theory, my suspicion is justified." Schneider slid the screen block with the percentage written in front of Manstein, "I collected the heartbeat data from the Greenland Sea and the heartbeat from the Japan Trench. The data were compared, and the rhythms of the two heartbeats showed a high degree of consistency. Based on this, I made this early warning system. If its readings rise, it means that the embryos in the Japan Trench are approaching the heartbeat before the tragedy in the Greenland Sea. It means the possibility of hatching dragon embryos."

"At least for now it's still safe." Manstein glanced at the reading that had just risen to 16%. There was still a big gap between the two voice frequencies.

The picture on the screen suddenly went out at the same time, and the emergency lights in the central control room were slowly turned on. A few seconds ago, there were dozens of projection screens in front of Schneider, but now even the only safety warning system that was on was still on. On 16%, the heartbeat readings from the Japan Trench next to it became a straight line.

"Norma, what's going on?" Schneider shouted.

"Kaguya lost contact with me 10 seconds ago. I am trying to re-establish the network link, but Kaguya has not responded temporarily. It may be due to network fluctuations. Please wait a moment." Norma's voice reappeared in the center The control room beeps.

An ominous premonition arose in Schneider's heart. People are like this, and they will become a shadow of a snake because of something. It was also a signal interruption that caused the tragedy of the Greenland Sea. Now it will never be the same because of the signal interruption. Drama, right?

Chu Zihang glanced at the depth reading on the Trieste. This legendary equipment from the last century still uses the old-fashioned instrument panel, which is very independent and does not have a five-digit instrument panel. Now The reading is 7566 meters.

Even if Lu Mingfei tried his best to liven up the atmosphere along the way, few people could stand it without stopping for so long. Everyone was a little tired. Caesar lit a cigar to refresh himself. Although the space in the deep submersible is small, the air The circulation system can still expel the smoke.

"Would you like to drink some water?" Lu Mingfei was still working hard, even talking about the gossip in the academy, Chu Zihang could hear that she was a little tired, and talked for three hours at a stretch, and the cross talk master would not be like this Those who work hard must moisten their throats.

"Fortunately... I told you that I want to be your most solid support, so of course I have to keep my eyes on you all the time. It would be dereliction of duty to let you leave my surveillance for a second." Lu Mingfei replied a little weakly, but with a hint of An irrefutable determination.

Chu Zihang didn't try to persuade her a second time, he knew that this girl is sometimes very stubborn, what she said to you is that she firmly hopes that you can respect her meaning, if you dare to resist, it's okay to play tricks Whether it's acting like a baby, she always has a way to make you obedient.This kind of creature is called a cute girlfriend. Not every girl is qualified to be called this. Some are coquettish sluts who want to die, and some are green tea bitches with evil intentions. Chu Zihang is very lucky. The girl he picked up may be One of the best little girlfriends in the world.

A ray of light came in from the porthole and hit Chu Zihang's face. Caesar watched Chu Zihang close his eyes and avoid it in surprise. It was a beam of warm red light. How could he encounter light in the deep sea of ​​7900 meters?

All the camera probes of the Trieste have been turned on to the most perfect power and angle, so that it has a nearly circular peripheral vision. Chu Zihang and Caesar each occupy a porthole, and they clearly see that there is It is full of life, and the color of the water is like sunset. Thousands of fish are floating in the water like sunset. Some are as bright as silver, some are almost transparent, while others emit a faint blue fluorescence.

Chu Zihang looked at these schools of fish that he couldn't even name in surprise, or maybe he could name them, but this thing could no longer be called the original species.The flounder, which is as flat as a scallop, actually grew two tentacles that were almost as long as the body. The giant sea turtle swimming with the fish had a bearded fleshy thing on its head, like a tumor protruding from the body, black and white. The devil fish has an uncoordinated appearance, and the needle-like tail fin can even reach an astonishing 10 meters. When it passes through the fish school, it will make a gap in the fish school that cannot be healed for a long time. The unfolded pectoral fin looks like a deep sea One of the fighter jets.

Any biological oceanographer who comes here will think that he has strayed into the wonderful world of fairy tales. Every creature is like a new species that has never been discovered. The distortion is astonishing.

"Have you seen it?" Caesar pressed the headset and asked the support team on the Xumizuo.

"It's very clear, it seems that you are close to your destination." Yuan Zhisheng looked at the clouds tumbling past on the big screen. The gray and white patterns on the belly of the giant whale looked like clouds. The body length of this thing may exceed [-] meters, but there are no such big whales in the world now. Judging from the appearance, it is very likely that it is the extinct Dragon King Whale. It was a creature that lived tens of millions of years ago. In sight, the huge long tail stirred the sea water, and even the Trieste in the distance suffered a little impact and fluctuation.

"There shouldn't be such a large marine life in such a deep place, and the surrounding ecological environment is also very strange and rich." Chu Zihang said.

"Why do you say that? I think it's very beautiful." Lu Mingfei didn't understand these things. She was like most girls when she saw this scene. She thought you were beautiful like an aquarium, but it's hard for an aquarium to be so big. The large-scale fish school, not to mention this kind of whale that is so big that it may even have a little fear of giants, just looking at it here is very amazing. What it feels like to swim around them.

"It's very simple, such a deep sea will lack the necessary food." Caesar said, "Mankind has tried many times to explore the deep sea. Animals, echinoderms and arthropods. We see schools of this size in just one place, and even whales of this size, how much food do you think they consume every day combined? The creatures I said They are all pitifully small things that cannot meet such a large-scale nutrient demand, which shows that there is something around that can provide them with nutrients, re-establishing a biosphere that should not exist in such a deep sea."

"It's probably the pheromone released by the embryo." Yuan Zhisheng said in a low voice, "The embryo that was hatching released the pheromone, luring these creatures to come close to it as its own food, most of them are actually not Living here, just being attracted by the embryo."

"That's not right." Chu Zihang shook his head, "Dragons like to choose the hatchery of their embryos in a place far away from humans or any creatures, they don't need these schools of fish as food, let alone release pheromones easily. There are only examples of evolutionary mutations caused by exposure to dragon blood in history, if this is a large number of dragon subspecies born under the influence of embryonic secretions, it means that our textbooks should be rewritten."

"The dragon embryo doesn't need food to hatch? Then how does it grow?" Lu Mingfei was surprised. She thought of Norton and Samson. She once thought that Samson might need to eat more to supplement it like a pregnant mother. Nutrition, it is better for one person to support two people.But Samson never seemed to care about whether Norton’s eggs were full or not, and she always maintained her body’s proper state when eating, not much different from ordinary girls. Now she is directly told that the embryos of the Dragon Clan don’t eat, The worldview I have engaged in is a bit unacceptable.

"I don't know, the dragons don't talk about science." Caesar said, "It's like if a human being is magnified by 5 times, it will look like a giant in a fantasy story, but in fact your weight will be 125 times the original, and the original load will be [-] times the original weight. The bones of the body are under a hundred times the pressure in an instant, and they will only be unable to support kneeling. With the huge body of the dragon race, it is impossible to understand the body structure and energy system from a scientific point of view, let alone their embryos. Do you need energy to hatch."

"Textbooks are written based on existing knowledge. The more we know, the more possible it is to recompile. We can take more photos and record what we see. Now is not the time to worry about this issue. There are more important things to do .Go ahead and search along the surrounding seabed. If it is really a guy who wants to eat, it should prepare the food within easy reach. Otherwise, it is most likely to be unable to move now. It is inevitable to eat Too difficult."

"Got it." Caesar replied, and when it was time to get down to business, he extinguished the unfinished cigar.

Caesar activated the stabilizer of the Trieste, and the propeller at the tail began to rotate at a high speed. This legendary deep submersible immediately had the power to move forward, just like a submarine, which can reach a speed of 12 knots per hour. .

The searchlight was directed at the bottom of the Trieste, and the sea water was red like sunset. It was not caused by fish schools, but because the deep submersible had already reached the top of the Japan Trench. The side is a jagged cliff, like an L-shaped part folded up and placed obliquely.The scene that only appeared in the form of pictures in the textbook was reproduced in front of everyone. The Eurasian plate is on the left, and the Pacific plate is on the right. It is hard to feel that the seabed land is collided by two continents like chocolate plates. Forming.

The bottom of the trench is an extremely long underwater canyon. This can't be called deep and tortuous, but it should be called a natural moat. The lake quickly vaporized shortly after rising, and then repeated this process, making a thunderous sound.

People always say that water and fire are incompatible, but that's just a phenomenon in most daily life. In the trench thousands of meters deep, seawater and magma blend perfectly, reaching a delicate balance point. No one can destroy the other. The eternal tug of war is going on, which can be called fantasy.
