488. The Underwater World
The next day, when it was just dawn, Li Zimu opened his eyes, got up and washed, and the sun rose a little above sea level.
Looking at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning local time, and the time of dark and daytime here is about 12 hours throughout the year, around 6 o'clock in the morning and about 6 o'clock in the evening, it is very average.
In another two hours or so, they will be able to reach the purpose of this trip, is the place called by the local sailors the Devil's Trench really as terrible as the legend says?
A few people got up one after another, stood on the deck and basked in the morning sun, the sailors were replaced by a few more people who were on duty, and the cook began to make breakfast in the kitchen.
"Whew, it's another day!"
Zhuge Yinglong stretched his waist in the face of the sun and said lazily, every day abroad is full of freshness, to be honest, in this kind of place where there is no land around, he has a little bit of fear.
Most of the people who make money outside have their own beliefs, praying for the protection of the gods they believe in, and being able to see the sun on this sea for a new day, which is all the credit of the gods.
A few sailors stood on deck silently reciting the Bible, believing in God, who blessed them through a dark night.
Plum Wood lifted the plastic sheeting from the deck, revealing what was covered inside.
"Well, don't tell me it's a submarine......"
Zhuge Yinglong stood in front of this machine and said in surprise, this machine full of science and technology made him feel as if he was living in a science fiction movie.
Yesterday he saw it, but it was covered with a layer of black plastic sheeting, so he couldn't see what it was, and he thought it was some kind of fishing machine, but now it looks more like a submersible.
The machine is about six meters long and only two meters wide, dark blue throughout, and is covered with a transparent glass cover through which you can see the four seats inside, two in front and two in the back.
The big butt in the back has a sealed space, and you can't see what structure is inside, and the whole machine is rugby-shaped, which looks very exquisite.
"Well, it's a submarine"
Li Zimu nodded, this is indeed a private submarine, Li Zimu asked Carl to bring it to him from the United States, some time ago he happened to be bored and bought one when he was in the United States, but he didn't expect it to be used this time.
Several sailors also saw it for the first time, and everyone showed envious expressions, and Li Zimu pressed the remote control to open the lid on the back.
The private submarine cost him about $2 million and can last up to 10 hours underwater to a depth of one kilometer.
Don't look at one kilometer seems to be very little, most of human activities in the ocean are on the continental shelf, and the depth of the continental shelf is mostly at a depth of 200 meters, and it is more than enough for this submarine to sink under the seabed.
The control device inside is relatively simple, it is a joystick with computer control, as long as you are not a fool, you can quickly grasp it, equipped with a navigation system and a tracking system, you can know your location at any time.
"Get in the driver's seat and try it"
Li Zimu turned his head to look at Zhuge Yinglong and said, this time it was mainly Zhuge Yinglong who drove the submarine, and he and Pudding might leave the submarine to have a look.
"Wow, isn't it, boss? What if I break it, you think I look like someone who can afford to lose......"
Zhuge Yinglong was taken aback by Li Zimu's words, and the latter actually asked him to operate this thing that was valuable at a glance, which made him a little flattered.
"If you are told to go, you will go......"
Li Zimu said speechlessly, threw the remote control to him to study by himself, and turned in to prepare for breakfast.
There weren't many things he needed to bring this time, but it was just a Xuanyuan sword, and as for the oxygen tanks, he only prepared two, and they were also used for emergency use by Chi Ling and Pudding.
He had tried it before, with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, he could use the aura to get the water around his body out, and Pudding couldn't, but she could breathe underwater, so he didn't prepare any diving equipment when he went into the water this time.
Zhuge Yinglong ate breakfast in three bites, and quickly got into the small submarine and began to feel the various devices, Li Zimu and a few people ate unhurriedly.
"It seems like a simple ......"
Zhuge Yinglong said with a smile, fortunately, the manual is in the Chinese version, he studied for almost half an hour, and he figured out what functions of what device here.
"Ready to go into the water"
Li Zimu turned his head to Carl and said, just in time, their boat arrived at the destination of the trip and stopped.
Carl nodded, and waited for the four of Li Zimu to sit in the submarine, and then let the first mate operate the lifting device on the ship, and slowly put the small submarine on the water.
There is an oxygen concentrator in this submarine, and a few people will not feel bored when they sit in it.
"Are you ready? Ready, Captain, to start operating?"
"Concentrate on driving your sub and don't talk"
"Hehe, excited......"
Zhuge Yinglong and Chi Ling exchanged a few words every day, and after waiting for Li Zimu to nod and agree, he controlled the rocker to sink the submarine to the surface.
Sunlight is refracted through the surface of the water, making the underwater world very bright, and the water here is good, and you can see far away from the bottom of the water.
"This feeling is so refreshing......"
Zhuge Yinglong said excitedly, controlling the submarine to sink little by little, sure enough, you can really do whatever you want if you have money......
There is a pressure device here, so even if you dive to a depth of several tens of meters underwater, there is still no abnormal feeling.
"It feels like you're walking under this water!"
The spirit said in surprise, the round glass cover on their heads allowed them to see the situation outside the submarine with the naked eye in a large area, which was similar to walking in the water.
"Dive to the bottom, just four or five meters above the ground."
Li Zimu looked at the situation outside and said, through the device, they can clearly know how many meters down to the bottom of the sea, and how many meters of depth they are currently in.
The place where they went into the water was only a little more than 100 meters deep from the bottom of the sea, and there was no problem in diving to the bottom of the sea.
The submarine dived unhurriedly and reached the bottom of the sea in a short time.
"That's a lot of fish!"
Looking at the swarms of fish outside, the spirit said excitedly, even at the bottom of the sea, you don't need lighting equipment, you can clearly see what is underneath.
Colorful corals, large and small schools of fish, this is a real underwater world, a natural ecosystem that has not been destroyed by humans.
