Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 188 The Place where the Gods Live (Two in One)

Such a choice is undoubtedly difficult.

In the center of the screen, the numbers on the depth gauge of the Trieste continued to skyrocket.

However, just when Schneider and the others were about to tell Lu Mingfei and the others about this method.

The Trieste suddenly slowed down.

"At a depth of 7000 meters, the speedometer is reset to zero."

The deep submersible "Di Trieste" is struggling to suspend in the deep sea, leaning as if being supported by a steel wire.

All the lights in the cockpit went out.

Except for Caesar reporting this sentence, the communication is full of "woo hoo" sirens.

That's air flow and hydraulic oil flowing through the pipes at high speed.

If a deep submersible is compared to a human being, all kinds of pipes are like his blood vessels.

And Di Trieste is a 70-year-old man, just after running a marathon, the blood flow rate and blood pressure are almost bursting the blood vessels, but it still did it!

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei and Caesar relaxed and fell back into their seats, filled with the joy of narrowly escaped death.

"It seems that we are safe and sound. There is a surprise I have to say. We completed the planned [-]-hour dive in less than two hours."

Caesar patted the cockpit wall and said proudly.

"There is no problem with such a high-speed dive, it is indeed a prototype!"

"Do you think it's the No. [-] machine in EVA? What's the pride of the prototype? This classic car almost killed us both." Lu Mingfei said speechlessly.

"Of course the prototype is important! It's like a custom-made saddle... You have to know that during the dive to challenge the Mariana Trench, the resin outer window of this deep submersible was crushed, but fortunately there is another layer The resin window withstood the pressure," Caesar said.

"Even if you say that, it doesn't increase my trust in it at all."

Lu Mingfei checked the system angrily, his pupils widened suddenly.

"Damn, why is there only 30.00% of the oxygen left? Can the air chamber leak and release the oxygen together?"

"I probably opened the wrong valve just now, letting out most of the oxygen." Caesar glanced at the operation manual and said lightly.

The two were silent for a long time, then bowed their heads and held their foreheads together.

"What are you messing with?" Lu Mingfei's face was dark, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"No way, the price of life has always required a brave attempt." Caesar shrugged.

"Okay," Lu Mingfei managed to pull himself together, "34% of the oxygen is still enough to support our underwater activities for an hour and a half. Let's hurry up. You control the movement of the deep submersible, and I control the depth."

"ok ok!"

Caesar lit a cigar.

"Stop smoking at this time, we have no oxygen." Lu Mingfei reminded angrily.

Only then did Caesar remember their situation and cut off his cigar.

The restarted Trieste regained its lights, rotated its propellers, and slowly dived.

"Have you found the fault of the sudden sinking?"

In the central hall of the campus headquarters, Schneider was holding the phone.

"It is speculated that the pressure valves of the three air chambers are leaking. Those valves are all products of the 60s of the last century. It is not surprising that there is a problem. The remaining air chamber is enough to help them return." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Of course , even if the fourth air chamber fails, we can still pull them up with the safety line."

"So I never trust anything the Equipment Department touches?"

Rundsteder touched his forehead, a layer of cold sweat.

The moment the Trieste lost control just now, he felt his heart stopped beating, so he called the equipment department on the dedicated line and yelled and questioned.

The equipment department said calmly, don't make such a fuss, they are flying scientific research equipment, not a commercial airliner, can you expect it to be as safe as a commercial airliner?Scientific research is always accompanied by the sacrifice of the martyrs...

"We can rule out the cause of man-made destruction." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Okay. Let them continue to observe. There is not much time left. If no embryos are found, the Dirieste will be recovered." Schneider said.

"You seem quite relaxed." Beside him, Manstein, who is also in the school's central control room and remotely communicated with the Japanese branch, teased.

Schneider was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Because it is different from the situation in the Greenland Ice Sea back then... what I encountered this time was an 'accident', and the biggest 'accident' among human beings is not as terrible as the 'normal' among dragons."

"Understood, you are always worried about the hatching of the embryo." Manstein glanced at him.

"If the embryos hatch, the chances of them surviving are essentially zero."

"But you survived."

Schneider's face was very heavy: "That's because my speech is special."

"Your words?"

Manstein seems to have only seen Schneider's speech spirit in the file once, but now that he thinks about it, the speech spirit is not very eye-catching, he even forgot the name.

"Yan Lingdong, it minimizes my physical needs for breathing and blood flow."

Schneider said.

"If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would have died in the depths of Greenland's ice sea."

……

"We're at the fault."

Lu Mingfei looked at the underwater world outside the observation port and reported the situation.

Below, separated by hundreds of meters of sea water, a fissure of molten gold can be clearly seen, extending in two completely opposite directions with no end in sight.

A crimson rock layer rolled out of the crack, and magma spewed out intermittently, slowly overflowing around the crack.

The ice-cold sea water and the fiery magma blend together, echoing with a faint gurgling sound, like a muffled thunder.

"If this crack is a man-made wound, then at least it must be a strong Dou Zong to have such a strong power." Caesar said in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei nodded, then immediately froze.

"Do you still read fantasy novels?"

"That book has been very popular in the past two years, and I read it on your country's website." Caesar's eyebrows fluttered, "Don't you think I look like the protagonist in it?"

"No, you are more like the elder of the Soul Palace who was slapped in the face." Lu Mingfei said, laughing twice like the villain in the book.

The depth gauge reads 100 meters.

They have thoroughly reached the Japan Trench.

Part of the seawater was discharged from the air chamber of the Dieste, and the diving speed gradually decreased.

Caesar successfully stabilized this "classic car" at this depth, and a few hundred meters further down is the bottom of the Japan Trench.

The flames flowed, and the sound of thunder shook, like hell.

"How much oxygen do we have left?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"There are about three to ten minutes left, which is plenty of time."

The two people in the cabin crowded the observation port, looking around.

"Nine o'clock." Suddenly, Caesar whispered.

Lu Mingfei looked at the place he was pointing at, and was too shocked to speak after just one glance.

He actually saw a tower!

A huge tower made of metal!

The visual height is 200 meters, and it is in the shape of a triangular pyramid, standing on the seabed that has not been affected by the magma.

That's not what shocked him...

"Call Yuan Zhisheng, call Yuan Zhisheng." Lu Mingfei hurriedly contacted Xu Mizuo's logistics team.

"This is Yuanzhisheng. The call is received. Your oxygen storage is about to run out. You can choose to float up."

"I know the oxygen is running out, but we can still hold our breath a little bit." Lu Mingfei said, "Now I turn on the camera and transfer the image to Kaguya Ji's main screen."

All four external cameras on the Trieste were aimed at the nine o'clock direction.

A burst of exclamation sounded on the Moniach, in the Xumizuo logistics room and the central control room.

Although the video signal at the bottom of the sea is not very clear, it does not damage the majesty of the city.

It was an ancient city under the sea!

With the tower as the center, it was built at a depth of more than 8000 meters under the sea.

The Trieste floated over the city, like an airship passing through the tall buildings of a modern city.

Half of the city was completely decayed and collapsed, and the remaining half of the city remained in its original state.

Every building in this underwater city is grand and solemn like a temple, and the eaves are densely covered with cirrus clouds and metal tiles in the shape of dragons and beasts.

Hundreds of meters of iron chains were hung in the blind corners of the building and were carried up by the currents. There were black wind chimes hanging on the iron chains. Thousands of wind chimes swayed and made noises.

"The communication has not been interrupted, which means that it is not Nibelungen." Schneider's eyes flickered with unbelievable light, "This is actually something that actually exists in the human world..."

"A city, a city at a depth of 600 meters under the sea?" Manstein's breath was almost overwhelmed by its majesty.

"That can't be human." Lu Mingfei's voice came clearly from the communication device.

"Humans don't have the ability to build such a city and giant tower in the deep sea of ​​600 meters."

"Dragon's city..." Caesar rubbed his chin and murmured, "Dragons are used to engraving war records on towers or pinnacles, and then erecting them in the open air."

A camera is pointed at the tower, zooming in to shoot.

Apart from the scars, the surface of the tower is as smooth as a mirror, like a piece of metal that has been carefully polished.

"Iron." Schneider whispered. "But a 200-meter-high heavy iron has been running in seawater for so many years without any rust."

"Even the current technology is difficult to achieve." Manstein shook his head, "What the hell is this place?"

"Just like what Lu Mingfei and the others said, a city of dragons."

Schneider said slowly.

"An ancient city where dragons once lived, where a dragon's embryo slowly hatched... Does it sound reasonable?"

"So we're going to drop the bomb straight down?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the ancient city under the sea, and thought to himself that the burial place of the gods would be this city, right?
He shook his head, denying his thoughts.

The name of the Divine Burial House sounds so delicate, it should be similar to a temple, so how could it be such a big ancient city under the sea!
He guessed that the burial place of the gods might be hidden somewhere in this underwater city.

"That won't work. Our bombs aren't powerful enough to easily destroy an entire dragon city." Caesar said, "Look again."

The Trieste was moving slowly across a large arched bridge.

Various ancient patterns are carved on the surface of the arch bridge, and it can be vaguely seen that ancient gods or ghosts and ghosts are fighting in the clouds and flames, which is a bit like the style of Japanese ghosts and gods.

Is it an ancient city in Japan?
But did ancient Japan have civilization?
No, there may have been dragons even in ancient Japan...

With a heartbeat, Lu Mingfei asked Caesar to adjust the focus of the camera and transmit the arch bridge pattern to Schneider and his screen.

"Call the headquarters and ask Norma to compare the text."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the oxygen storage.

"We have 7 minutes left."

The supercomputer located in the basement of Kassel College started computing after a few seconds.

All language databases are open to Norma, the Runas script in Norse mythology, the Jin script of the Xia Dynasty in China, the secret ritual script used to write black magic books in the Middle Ages, Egyptian script, Sumerian script, Bayeux script... …

The flood flooded into Norma's computing system, making tens of millions of comparisons every second.

"The comparison of the conventional language library is completed, and there is no matching object... The comparison of the pictographic language library is completed, and there is no matching object..."

Norma returns with disappointing news.

"Do you want to continue the comparison?"

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a second: "What are the remaining language libraries that have not been compared?"

"Doubtful library." Norma explained, "This is a text that linguists think may be forged. These words have not been proven to be used in history. The number of this library is extremely large, and it takes 7 minutes to compare."

"We have no time," Caesar said.

After spending a few minutes searching the language library, their time was less than 5 minutes.

"Compare!" Lu Mingfei made a decisive decision and cut off the communication.

"We have no oxygen!" Caesar was dumbfounded.

"The body of the mixed race can reduce our oxygen consumption, and we can last another quarter of an hour." Lu Mingfei slowly sat up straight, and his breathing slowed down.

"You..." Caesar looked at him dumbfounded, "Is it necessary to be so impartial?"

"You used the wrong idiom. This should be called heroic sacrifice in Chinese, and it will probably be engraved on a stone tablet in the future to be praised." Lu Mingfei breathed out.

"We haven't found the 'Lenin' yet." Caesar sighed.

"It's in this city, I can feel it." Lu Mingfei closed his eyes.

"I didn't even find my weasel, so you can brag." Caesar also followed his example and began to lower his breathing rate.

"A target with a matching rate of 90.00% was found!"

Norma's voice sounded in the earphones.

This lifted the spirits of the two who had been lying down for a while.

"Understanding...interpreting..."

Norma paused, and quickly said a name they had never heard of.

"The content of the text is... Gao Tianyuan."

"What? Can you explain clearly?" Caesar and Lu Mingfei asked at the same time.

"This is a variant of the dragon script, which really means the place where the gods lived together in the age of Japanese mythology."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

He actually guessed right before.

This huge underwater ancient city is the burial place of the gods mentioned by the Bajia of Snake Qi.

Sure enough...the gods that the Japanese serve are dragons.

And the history of the god family in ancient Japan is actually the history of the dragon family.
