Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 187 Between Life and Death
Diriestri.

Lu Mingfei was chewing gum boredly.

Looking up through the observation window at the top, the surroundings are black and blue sea water.

There is no light in this world, nothing.

Caesar released more compressed air, and the submersible descended a few points faster.

He was serious now, his hands flicking between valves and knobs.

It is clear that it is also his first time to ride this deep submersible, but he is no different from a veteran pilot for many years.

Lu Mingfei had to feel that Caesar is really a strong person.

It looks careless, but it is brave to be the first in everything.

They did not receive any training before driving, only an operating manual, and Caesar memorized the operating manual in one night.

Maybe that's why the school put the two of them on a mission.

Caesar's intelligence and Lu Mingfei's force, two people are enough to overcome all difficulties in the 8000-meter deep sea.

"I can always hear inexplicable noises, won't this old antique ship of yours suddenly disintegrate?" Lu Mingfei said.

"There is no way, the old equipment is out. Reactivating it is like letting a 70-year-old famous mountaineer challenge Mount Everest again. The old bones will inevitably loosen everywhere."

Caesar took out a Cohiba cigar from his combat uniform, bit off the end and lit it.

"However, the equipment department installed an inner shell of memory metal. If the shell is not broken, we are safe."

"Why do you describe it like a bastard?"

Lu Mingfei turned on the external light source.

High-intensity spotlights were installed on all four sides of the Trieste, enough to illuminate the space ten meters beside the deep submersible.

"Aren't the two of us in the bastard's body right now? Without this bastard, how can ordinary people dive into the deep sea?"

"What is the external air pressure now?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Thirty atmospheres is equivalent to a girl weighing [-] kilograms standing on your body." Caesar calculated in his mind.

"Is that a girl weighing two hundred kilograms? A pig is about the same!"

"When you reach the abyss, twenty pig farms will stand on you!" Caesar laughed.

It was strange to say that the two were enemies who were not easy to deal with, but they had a very happy chat in this small cockpit.

To pass the time, the depth slowly increases.

After more than an hour, they had reached a depth of 100 meters.

So far so good...

"The Trieste is operating normally." Lu Mingfei reported to the above as usual.

His words were interrupted by the shrill siren.

The "Di Trieste" suddenly vibrated violently!

The red light on the control screen flickered wildly, and various signal lights flashed red one after another.

"Oops! The pressure of watertight cabins No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] dropped at the same time, and we are losing buoyancy! Repeat, we are losing buoyancy!" Caesar shouted loudly.

The "Di Trieste" had only four air chambers in total, and the leakage of three air chambers was equivalent to the three legs of a horse being cut off.

The compressed air is escaping crazily, and the feeling of weightlessness hits immediately.

Lu Mingfei firmly grasped the handrail, and the whole person followed the "Ditryeste" to spin and fall into the deep sea at high speed.

Although the situation was extremely bad, he didn't panic.

He stared at the numbers on the depth gauge and reported calmly in the comm.

"Two thousand four... two thousand six... three thousand two..."

In just 1 minute, they have fallen half a kilometer.

"Slow down! Find a way to slow down! The surge in water pressure will damage your memory metal inner shell!" Yuan Zhisheng yelled.

"There is no way to slow down, we are hitting the bottom of the sea like a stone!" Caesar yelled at him, "How can a stone slow itself down!"

Such a fall is no different from a plane that crashes downward at a [-]-degree angle.

For those in the cockpit it feels like a rollercoaster ride.

"Caesar!"

Lu Mingfei's cry made Caesar calm down.

He suddenly discovered that the speed of the "Drieste"'s descent had slowed down a lot.

At least the death roll is no longer there, it's just spinning slowly.

Seeing the golden pupils in Lu Mingfei's eyes, Caesar understood something.

"Time zero!?"

It was the first time for him to see Lu Mingfei using this language, and he was very surprised.

Previously, Lu Mingfei's speech spirit had been confirmed by the school as not on the speech spirit list, so what's going on with this time zero?

Caesar's mind was in a mess, thinking about many and complicated things.

Lu Mingfei was surprisingly calm.

He pulled the railing and asked, "Can you cut off the air valve and keep the remaining air?"

Caesar came back to his senses and knew that Lu Mingfei must not be an easy task to maintain the Time Zero Domain, and he did not waste time.

He turned the knob on the air valve a few times, but to no avail.

"It's useless, the problem should be the air valve."

Lu Mingfei drew out the design blueprint of the "Di Trieste".

According to the instructions on the drawings, the problem can only be the air valve on the top of the deep submersible, which is the pressure relief valve of the No. [-], [-], and [-] air chambers.

Usually it is not open, and only in rare cases should that valve be used.

No one thought that such a small thing was the problem, not those common valves that opened and closed thousands of times.

"I can block the line to the relief valve by switching the tee."

Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei.

"But it takes time."

"I can last up to 10 minutes." Lu Mingfei said.

Caesar gripped the yellow wrench tightly and took a deep breath.

If the Trieste continued to sink and fall into the trench, they would be smashed to pieces.

……

"Damn it, didn't the guys in the equipment department say that this transformation is a masterpiece?"

Schneider sat in the hall with an anxious expression on his face.

The superimposed holographic projection screens appeared in front of him, and dense data flipped upwards.

On the plane plan of the "Di Trieste", No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 air chambers are marked in red.

"Schneider! How many times have I told you that the guys in the equipment department are unreliable!"

Rundsteder said angrily.

"Hurry up and find a way to take first aid measures!"

The dragons they had been carefully guarding against did not appear, but something went wrong with the "Di Trieste", which had been inspected by the Equipment Department and the Rock Flow Research Institute.

"The Dieste is equipped with the emergency plan of the Yanliu Research Institute. As long as the strong power source is turned on, with the stabilizer and the balance rudder, they can enter the gliding state." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"I don't trust the nuclear power cabin of the Equipment Department!" Rundstede refused loudly.

If the nuclear power cabin explodes, it is equivalent to a nuclear bomb with a megaton level, which may cause an undersea earthquake and tsunami, and it will be a matter of the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

"Then what to do? They're sinking too fast for other emergency measures!"

"The depth is 5000 meters, and they will hit the bottom of the abyss in [-] kilometers."

Schneider's expression under the ventilator was particularly dignified.
