Chapter 248 The Only Hope
At a depth of three thousand meters, all conventional rescue methods are ineffective. Even if the Ryugu deep-sea submersible is not under maintenance, it will still take several hours to get there, and such a long time The time is enough for a lot of things to happen.
"Dolphin 202, please answer if you hear me." Ye Rui's voice echoed in the command room. After Dolphin 202 lost contact, he started calling and tried all communication methods to try to contact the dolphin. No. 202.
Zongfang also asked Lina and Dagu in the Feiyan No. 1 who were on standby above the ocean to drop a deep-sea communication repeater to see if communication could be restored.
Only by knowing what happened to Dolphin 202 and what situation it is currently in, can we formulate targeted support and rescue plans. After all, it is three thousand meters under the sea. There are some things that have not been taken into consideration. Even the rescuers might be buried there.
However, they tried all the methods they could think of, but were still unable to contact Dao Dolphin No. 202, which made people's hearts slowly sink.
While Ye Rui was calling, he was also preoccupied with watching the images taken by Dolphin 202 before it disappeared and the data sent back by the detectors on it. Slow playback and picture rendering finally revealed what was hidden in the dense The attacker is revealed in the trash.
Under the powerful searchlight of Dolphin No. 202, a seaweed-like object that was very different in color from sea water and garbage appeared in the lens, and then the 'seaweed' separated, revealing an orange glow. The body has something like a pupil in the middle.
"Captain, Commander, take a look at this." Ye Rui said and projected the situation he discovered on the big screen. Zongfang and Hui Jian temporarily put down the information in their hands and looked up at the big screen - —An object that looks like an eye.
Mongakata said uncertainly: "Are these the eyes of some underwater creature?"
Ye Rui nodded and said: "I used a plastic bag next to me as a scale to calculate. This luminous body, which looks like a biological eye, has a vertical length of nearly fifty centimeters. If the body is calculated in the same proportion, the length is more than fifty meters. < br>
And this”
Yerui also projected the graph of the sonar feedback wave on the big screen and said: “Sonar also detected giant objects. The body and the crying sound should be the cry of this creature, so Dolphin No. 202 was probably attacked by a monster. "
"Monster" Munakata couldn't help but clenched his fists. Said: "Xincheng's premonition came true."
Jian Hui asked seriously: "Why did the monster attack Dolphin No. 202?"
Because the Ryugu submarine returned safely, and the unknown energy source had stayed in that position safely until Dolphin 202 arrived, and then suddenly moved and hit Dolphin 202.
“It may be related to the ultrasonic device carried on Dolphin 202 to disperse fish,” Ye Rui guessed: “In such a deep seabed, light-sensitive organs such as eyes cannot see anything at all, so life Fish in the deep sea all have organs that can sense sound waves as eyes."
Zongfang said immediately: "Captain, send a marine survey team. Now only the Ryugu deep-sea submersible can carry out rescue missions." "But that is a monster." Hui Jian couldn't help but frown. Dolphin 202 was still carrying at least some deep-sea submersibles. The weapons used, and the Ryugu deep-sea submersible didn't even have a pistol. Not to mention monsters, even big fish couldn't be dealt with.
In case of encountering a monster, it would just be a few more heads. Although she also wanted to save the two team members, she could not let the marine survey team take risks.
"It would be great if Diga was here." Ye Rui whispered, but Hui Jian's heart moved. He quickly lowered his head and tapped on the keyboard in front of him a few times, calling up Melba's Flight a year ago. According to the trajectory, the distance between the coordinate point where Melba turned around and flew back and the base was calculated, which was two-thirds of the distance between Dolphin 202 and the base.
Jian Hui stood up and said: "You continue to try to contact Dolphin No. 202, I will report to the director."
With that said, he walked out of the command room without waiting for anyone else to answer. When I got to the corridor, I took out P DI, edited a message to the effect that Shinjo and Horii drove Dolphin 202 to explore the seabed, and encountered a huge creature that was suspected of being a monster. They have now lost contact. They also entered the location of Dolphin 202 and the corresponding chart.
"Please, this is the only way I can think of." Hui Jian closed the PDI, sighed slightly, and strode towards the director's room, wanting to inform the director about TPC She decided to support the branch's proposal to establish an elite squad similar to the Victory Team.
Three thousand meters under the sea, it was pitch black, without any light. Only the cockpit of Dolphin 202 still lit up with a dim red light, ‘Woo! Woo! ’ The sound of the alarm echoed in my ears, causing Xincheng to slowly wake up and feel the world spinning. This feeling was similar to the first time he got off the multi-axis swivel chair.
But now he is not a newbie who just joined the flight academy. Even though he was extremely uncomfortable, he quickly recalled the situation before coma. He quickly reached out to touch Horii next to him, grabbed his shoulders, shook him vigorously, and shouted : "Horii, Horii, are you okay?"
“It’s so uncomfortable.” Horii retched several times after being shaken awake, and almost didn’t spit it out. This state made him very sure that he must have turned countless times. The only good thing was that Dolphin 202 was strong enough. Otherwise, the two of them would have no chance to feel uncomfortable now.
The two of them breathed for a long time before they recovered. They endured the discomfort and got into work. They first determined the status of Dolphin 202. The engine stalled and communications were interrupted, and most of Dolphin 202 was lost. It can be said that it has not been crushed to pieces so far, which is simply a miracle.
"Damn it." After Xincheng failed to start the engine, he slapped the chair angrily. He didn't even know who the attacker was. It was too frustrating to die like this.
"Don't give up so easily, after all, we are still alive." Horii took the risk to unbuckle his seat belt, pry open the baffle under the seat, and began to check the circuit below, saying: "Captain, they They must be thinking of ways to save us too.”
"That's right, Mayumi is still waiting for me to go back." Shinjo also unbuckled his seat belt and followed Horii to inspect the lines. Sure enough, they found several lines that were damaged due to overload. The two of them quickly replaced new lines. They were busy I was sweating profusely.
Tightening the last screw, Dolphin 202 also trembled slightly, the engine started, and the power of the entire ship was restored, causing the lights in the cockpit to light up one after another, allowing the two of them to return to the light of day. , Shinjo and Horii were overjoyed, and hurriedly sat back in their seats. Before they fastened their seat belts, they saw the unknown energy source displayed on the screen, approaching rapidly again.
