Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 147 Qimen Dunjia Coral Reef

Until the next day, the atmosphere on the ship was still heavy. The teammates who had been together day and night now had no bones left. It was difficult for everyone to accept this fact, but the mission is the mission, and the action must continue.After another two days, we finally came to the outer edge of the coral reef. During this time, the Trident's fish radar has not stopped, lest there will be another piranha like last time, we can't afford to have that kind of thing happen again .Fortunately, the shoal of man-eating flying fish may have been attracted by the bloody smell of the giant whale, and we did not encounter that shoal of fish for a while after that.But the problem is still not reduced, and the next thing we have to face is the biggest problem of this operation-how to enter the coral reef waters.According to the plan, we should venture in when the tide is high, but the tide is very low now, it is not the time to enter, and the conference room is full of all kinds of experts again, about three hours before the high tide, we To be the most complete preparations.

"The meteorological team sent a message that there will be no big storms and waves in this area in the next four hours, but it is expected that there will be heavy fog on the sea in two hours." After the expert team reported the news, everyone's faces became even more ugly , Driving in this kind of sea area, the most taboo is the heavy fog, which makes the vision of ships that are already difficult to navigate even more limited.

"Can you predict when the fog will clear?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"It's impossible to estimate. There are no wind and waves on the sea. In this case, the heavy fog is difficult to disperse." The expert group said, "However, we have certain means of defogging. The same spraying of refrigerant can cause small-scale rainfall, but the effect limited."

"An abnormal magnetic field was found on the bottom of the sea, which greatly interferes with wearing electronic equipment. It is speculated that this interference will continue to increase as it approaches later." The radar on the other side reported together, "At the same time, combined with the previous information, it is not ruled out that here There are extremely aggressive sea beasts, and our ability to detect enemies has also been greatly reduced."

"In the previous battle, the hull was partially damaged, among which the No. [-] airtight compartment was particularly damaged, followed by No. [-] and No. [-] airtight compartments." The head of the maintenance team reported. "With the shipboard capabilities of the Trident, we can afford to lose two sealed compartments. The maintenance of the fourth and sixth sealed compartments is being stepped up, and the second sealed compartment has basically been completely scrapped."

Afterwards, the heads of the medical team, logistics team, communication team, and combat team all spoke together, and what they said was basically bad news. It could be seen that Sun Dasheng's face was getting worse and worse, so gloomy that he could almost wring out water.After all the teams had finished their reports, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence. Although I don't know what the Tomb Raiders Guild's loss rate was in the past, judging from the atmosphere at this time, this loss has exceeded their expectations, and The real action is about to begin.

"Observe the tide situation at any time, and prepare to set off when you find the highest point of the high tide." After a long silence, Sun Dasheng said, and then his eyes fell on me, "Zhao Jue, now is the time for you to perform Tianxing Fengshui, and you will spend the coral reef later. Let me know what you think of this action.”

"I can basically confirm that this coral reef is the Qimen Dunjia arranged by the ancient masters. Its real function is internal defense. Compared with external defense, it is very weak." I sorted out my thoughts, got up and said, "If it is in the On land, to enter this kind of Qimen Dunjia from the outside requires three turns, seven turns and eleven turns, that is to say, when entering through the Shengmen, turn left when encountering a fork in the road, and turn right every time there are three forks in the road. Every time there is a fork in seven or a multiple of seven, you have to turn right, and every eleven or a multiple of eleven, you have to go back. Walk like this for a week—that is, turn 231 fork roads to get to the center.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed puzzled expressions on their faces. It was true that they went around like this, and it sounded completely different.However, Qimen Dunjia has its own wisdom. This route is not recorded by someone walking by, but deduced through the analysis of the whole Qimen Dunjia.It's like solving a math problem.I saw that everyone was puzzled, but no one raised any objections, so I continued, "But now we are in the middle of the sea. First, I can't guarantee that we can find every fork in the road accurately. The second point, even if we find a fork in the road, there is not much resistance in the water, if we suddenly encounter a reef inside, we can't guarantee that we can stop in time. This is the only thing Tianxing Fengshui can do for the time being."

"It's really dangerous to go in rashly without navigation. Your statement can provide us with a possibility to enter safely." After I finished speaking, Sun Dasheng said first, "Do all departments have any opinions on this method?"

"The sea is shrouded in fog. It is really easy for us to get lost without navigation. Instead of rushing around by feeling after entering, this is indeed a feasible solution. Our radar team thinks it is feasible." The person in charge of the radar team took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"I heard that Tianxing Fengshui can change the world, can't we use the power of Tianxing Fengshui to transfer this thick fog?" asked the person in charge of the meteorological team.

"It's too difficult. I've just mastered Tianxing Fengshui. It's basically impossible to mobilize such a large-scale natural environment." I said, "Also, I suspect that the heavy fog here itself is a part of Qimen Dunjia. If you force mobilization, It may cause the big town to backlash."

"This kind of action is a bit too slow. For the sake of safety, we are destined not to move too fast inside. Isn't this a waste of time to find 231 forks inside?" The person in charge of the logistics team got up and asked .

"How long can our supplies last?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"Maybe it can last for ten to fifteen days." The person in charge of the logistics team said.This is indeed not good news. It took us seven or eight days to come here. Although we encountered some twists and turns in the middle, who can guarantee that we will not encounter the same situation when we go back?In the best case, we can last for fifteen days, and it takes eight days to go back, which means that we can spend only seven days here, and the time we enter is basically the same as the time we get out, that is to say, we can The time spent in it is really limited.

"We have no way out. We don't have much time. This operation must have immediate results." Sun Dasheng said, "We are going to forcibly enter after the time is up. It's really impossible. At worst, we will go back hungry."

Although Sun Dasheng looked like he was telling a joke, I could hear the determination in his tone, and I also knew that I came here not for sightseeing, but for a mission that must be completed.The meeting lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. When I came to the deck again, I could already see a faint mist rising from the sea, and it was thickening at a fast speed. In less than half an hour, the whole The sea surface was shrouded in thick fog, and the visibility was less than ten meters. The top and sides of the ship were lit with strong lights. At the same time, I saw someone start to fix a kind of airbag around the hull. This is the guild's technology. Used for insurance on reefs.Although with the inertia of the ship's hull, this layer of airbags can't do much, but few are better than nothing.I have deduced the location of the students. With the surge of the tide, the coral reef as far as I can see was submerged by the sea a little bit. The whistle on the ship sounded, and the Trident began to sail towards the coral reef, with the engine power reaching the lowest.Because of interference, the electronic navigation system has no effect, and only human eyes can be used to judge the surrounding situation.Most of the crew gathered on the deck, looking around with their eyes wide open, lest they miss some fork in the road or a hidden reef, the Trident sailed cautiously into the Qimen Dunjia formed by this piece of coral reef.

Compared with the wind and waves of the previous few days, the current Trident is simply a timid thief.I am standing at the bow of the boat and looking into the distance. Compared to observation skills, I am still much better than the Taibao of these tomb passages, and I have a general understanding of the entire Qimen Dunjia, and I know that there may be monsters in that place. reef.In this way, we narrowly passed one by one reef, but two hours later, the accident still happened, the hull vibrated violently, and the sound of the airbag exploding came from below.
