Chapter 247 Monster Three Thousand Meters Deep in the Sea
Dolphin 202 is a prototype of TPC’s world-leading Ryugu deep-sea submarine manufactured by this company after it incorporated private companies mainly engaged in deep-sea exploration. The latest deep-sea universal submarine developed after high-tech.
Dolphin 202 uses a superconducting engine and can move at high speeds on the surface and in the deep sea, far exceeding any ship in the world. Its weapons are Monroe underwater missiles and missiles that can also be used in the deep sea. D machine gun.
However, Dolphin 202 is still using the old engine and energy source. The reason is that the latest engine is still under testing, so it is still a semi-finished product.
"What? Semi-finished product?" Holding the helmet and walking in the new city in the corridor leading to the area where Dolphin No. 202 is located. After listening to Horii's introduction, he was immediately dumbfounded. He was going to the deep sea, or the deep sea full of dangers. , the only reliance is the deep-sea submersible, which is still a semi-finished product.
"Why are you so loud?" Horii said with a 'rare and strange' look, and continued: "Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is also the best deep-sea submersible in the world. A smart person like me wants to ride it. What's wrong with you? Dare to ride?"
"What do you mean?" Xincheng immediately felt offended.
"It doesn't mean anything." Horii shut up before he could finish speaking, because he saw Mayumi standing in front of him, patted Shinjou's shoulder, strode forward, and when he passed Mayumi, he said : "Don't worry, I will bring Xincheng back safely."
After Horii left, Xincheng said with a smile. Said: "Obviously I want to bring him back safely."
"Yeah!" Mayumi, who was quite haggard, nodded, forced a smile, and said: "Brother is the best, and I will never give in. I am disappointed that you will always be there for me whenever I need you. Being your sister is my greatest luck.”
"Why are you talking about this?" Shinjo scratched his head in embarrassment, took two steps forward, hugged Mayumi with one hand, and said, "It's just a normal mission, nothing to worry about."
< br>"I'm not worried, I just miss you." Mayumi hugged Shinjo tightly with both hands and buried her head in his arms, just like she did when the sky was filled with dark clouds that day, and like she did before, hugging her only relative tightly.
After just hugging for a while, Mayumi let go, and the smile on her face became brighter, and said: "Okay, hurry up and don't keep Team Horii waiting, I have to go to work too, Bye."
After saying that, Mayumi turned around and ran away in a hurry. Shinjo stood there, looking at Mayumi walking away, feeling very uncomfortable. When he reached Horii, who was waiting for him, he said: "real Yumi has always been worried about me, especially last time."
Fuka Horii nodded with understanding and said: "Our job is to deal with monsters and aliens, how can our family not be worried? Many times , even if it is 0.01 second slower, it will be hit by the monster, and then the plane will crash. The short few seconds of falling to the ground will be as difficult as waiting for the judgment of fate. "
"What you said seems to be more experienced than me. Dagu and I have crashed a lot more times than you."
Horii rarely said anything back, but said seriously: "Because every time Watching you crash for the first time but being unable to do anything about it, it feels even worse than falling myself.”
Xincheng. He looked at Horii with some emotion, and Horii also looked at him. The two looked at each other, and then said in unison: "It's time for us to set off."
F1 Hangar, responsible for the maintenance team of Dolphin 202 The condition of Dolphin 202 is being checked quickly and in detail to ensure that the first voyage can start and return smoothly.
Xincheng and Horii sat in the narrow cockpit, conducting pre-voyage inspections according to the operation manual. When everything was completed, Xinchenghui reported: "Dolphin 202, inspection completed, ready to depart."< br>
An alarm sounded immediately inside the F1 hangar, and a pleasant female voice broadcast throughout the hangar: "Dolphin 202, prepare to depart, the transmission is started. Dolphin 202 has arrived at the position, and the sealed hatch is closed."
One During the sound of the announcement, Dolphin 202 was towed by a tractor to a position just separated by a wall from the ocean outside. The rear hatch was closed and water began to be filled. When the water was full and Dolphin 202 was floating in the water, the front door leading to the ocean The cabin door just opened.
"Dolphin 202, let's go!" As Shinjo shouted, Horii slowly pushed the engine control lever, gradually increasing the engine power, and slowly left the base and entered the vast The ocean then began to accelerate, heading towards the sea more than a thousand kilometers away.
Although the Dolphin 202 is already the fastest ship in the world, its speed is not as fast as that of an ordinary sports car. Therefore, it takes several hours to reach a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. Therefore, before placing the Dolphin When the depth of No. 202 reached 500 meters, Shinjo and Horii turned on automatic driving and took turns to rest in the temporary room at the back.
But they are not alone. There is a Feiyan-1 circling back and forth in the sky above at all times. It is not only for escort, but also responsible for transmitting the data of Dolphin 202. After all, this is Dolphin 202. 's first voyage.
Lina sat in front, looking out at the unchanging ocean with boredom, muttering: "I really hope that ship can be built as soon as possible, so that Dolphin 202 can be sent directly to its destination."
< br>Dago behind was stunned when he heard the words and asked: "What ship?"
"You are not Have you received the notification about the simulated driving?”
“I went to deal with the Totoma Town incident before I had time to read the information sent to me, and I haven’t been able to help sighing since. In one breath, first there were monsters sleeping in the mountains that induced acid mist, and now there were mutated monster fish and unknown energy sources on the sea floor littered with garbage.
From the harmful gases emitted by humans to the garbage discarded by humans, there is a sense of fate that it is time to pay for the sins humans have done in the past.
"That's a real space ship. I just don't know when it will set sail. I really hope I can drive that ship to space. It must be very beautiful." Lina thought with great longing. Her only pleasure before was to drive it. Flying airplanes in the air is now an added pleasure, but flying airplanes is still her hobby after the new pleasure.
After knowing that she would be able to drive the first real spaceship in human history to space in the future, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep well for two days. Her dreams were all about dancing with the stars.
Dagu also giggled, and after Lina finished speaking, he said: "I will do a good job of escorting you."
"Oh, escorting?" Lina listened. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't react for a moment, and he even started to think. Is there anything about escorting in the training content?
Da Gu said with great self-knowledge: "I'd better not drive that ship, otherwise you won't be able to afford the salary for the rest of your life." Lina was silent for two seconds, and said with ridicule in her tone: "Da Team member Gu, why do you think you can afford to pay for Feiyan No. 1 with your lifetime salary?”
“.” Dagu felt deeply offended, and even felt heartbroken.
The two of them were passing the boring escort time by 'flirting' when they heard Xincheng's voice coming from the communication channel: "We are going to dive."
Dagu and Lina immediately stopped joking, turned serious for a second, and said: "Unit No. 1 received."
At a depth of 800 meters under the sea, Dolphin No. 202 Starting to go down, the numbers on the depth gauge continued to increase, and the expressions of Shinjo and Horii became more and more serious. Several light beams that were several times brighter and more penetrating than Ryugu continued to sweep around, and at the same time, they were scattered all over. The special camera around Dolphin 202 displays the captured images on the display screen in front of Xincheng and Horii, allowing them to know the situation outside.
However, at such a depth, the sun's rays have long since disappeared, and only the area illuminated by Dolphin 202's own light can be seen. It is so empty that even fish are rarely seen, because Dolphin 202 continues to release fish to disperse them. Sound waves to avoid collision with fish, because if you hit a large fish in the deep sea at a speed of dozens of knots, big trouble will happen.
The depth is gradually increasing, and the atmosphere in Dolphin 202, Feiyan 1 and the command room is becoming more and more solemn. All the team members are looking at the picture on the screen, except for Horii and Shinjo who report instruments from time to time. There is no sound other than the sound of the reading.
Not long after, they arrived at the location where the Ryugu deep-sea submarine discovered the garbage patch. The more penetrating light beam brought a wider field of view and allowed people to see more garbage. Strange fish with different degrees of mutation were burrowing around in the garbage.
Some people still have plastic bags and other garbage hanging on their bodies, as if they are hung with a parachute, and they swim with difficulty until the plastic bag catches large garbage and they can no longer swim freely and can only swim in a small space. I walked back and forth around the area. I was lucky enough to get rid of the plastic bag, but unfortunately I was directly entangled and couldn't move.
There was no time for Horii and Shinjo to digest and lament. They had to move forward to investigate the unknown energy source, so the streamlined Dolphin No. 202 continued to move forward, pushing away the dense garbage and alerting a large number of strange fish to drill out of the garbage. came out, collided with each other, and even hit the shell of Dolphin 202, making a 'Bang! Bang! ’ The sound is frightening.
Soon, Dolphin 202 jumped over the coordinates where the Ryugu deep-sea submarine finally arrived, and continued to move forward. The cry-like sound described by the TPC Ocean Survey Team also reached the ears of the two people, and was then transmitted through the radio. Going to Feiyan No. 1 and the command room, the Victory Team heard an unknown sound that was indeed similar to crying.
"What is this sound?" Xincheng listened to the sound and looked at the garbage that almost filled his field of vision outside. He felt a little irritated for no reason, but he suppressed it and tried to keep his brain thinking calmly.
Horii was also listening, but while listening, he was also judging the location and said: "Just in front of us, it is coming from the location of the unknown energy source. It seems that it can unlock the two sources at once. What a puzzle.”
New City. He said casually: "It can't be a monster, right?"
Horii's heart suddenly felt, and he suddenly felt that the voice sounded more and more like a monster, but he still denied this terrible possibility and said: "Which So many monsters coming?”
Xincheng was just talking about it casually, but now that he thinks about it, he thinks it is very possible. After all, who can make such a loud sound in such a deep seabed? His right hand couldn't help but tap a few times on the keyboard to bring up the weapon operating system. Checking the Monroe underwater missile and the D machine gun, he said: "Since Golzan appeared, there has been no change in this world. Nothing is impossible."
"Yes!"
The two continued to move forward, and everyone in the command room also heard the conversation between Shinjo and Horii, Munakata stood upright. His body and brows were almost wrinkled. He was thinking, what should the victory team do if a monster appears in such a deep sea?
The missiles and machine guns carried on Dolphin 202 are used to clear rock formations and obstacles, not to deal with monsters, so if they really encounter monsters, I am afraid.
< br>Thinking of this, Munakata immediately said: "Captain, I think we should suspend this mission and wait for the deep-sea unmanned submarine of the TPC Ocean Survey Class to conduct the survey."
When Hui Jian heard this, she immediately understood that Zongfang was worried about the monster. If a monster is encountered at such a deep seabed, Dolphin 202 has no good way to deal with it. Once a problem occurs, it is almost certain to die, and there is no possibility of survival.
Before she could think about it, she heard Horii's surprised voice coming from the speaker: "What is this?"
Xincheng, who was checking the weapon system, hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? "
"The energy source started to move, the direction It's coming towards us."
"What did you say?" Xincheng was shocked. He quickly put down the weapon system and looked back at the screen. He saw that the red dot representing the unknown energy source had left the original place. position, began to move towards them, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Horii came up with an incredible guess: "Is this thing alive?"
"A monster?" Shinjo wanted to slap himself. It was really a crow's mouth. It's okay to talk about a monster. Hurry up. Grab the joystick and shout: "Horii, let's retreat quickly."
No matter Whether the opponent is a monster or not, you cannot collide with it. Such strong radiation, once it comes into close contact with Dolphin 202, is enough to cause huge damage to the exposed engine. If it loses power at the bottom of the sea three thousand meters, then Dolphin 202 will become An iron coffin cannot be moved at all, and can only wait for rescue or death.
But in such a deep seabed, it is not a simple matter for a deep-sea submarine to change its direction. Compared with the increasingly faster energy sources, Dolphin 202 is simply moving at a turtle speed.
"Horii, hurry up."
"I think so too." Horii had beads of sweat on his forehead. He pulled the joystick desperately, changing the posture of Dolphin 202, trying to avoid the unknown energy source that was about to hit him.
Everyone in the command room listened to the sound coming from the loudspeaker, and their hearts suddenly lifted. Even Hui Jian couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but stand up, and could only watch the red dot leave. Dolphin 202 got closer and closer, then collided and the picture on the big screen disappeared instantly.
Yerui said this sentence with difficulty: "Dolphin 202, lost contact."
