Chapter 276: Beneath the Deep Sea

After taking the equipment from Jiang Lin, Jiang Chen returned to the villa, returned to his bedroom lightly, and then started the crossing.

When he came out of the bathroom and looked at the clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Creeping over to the bed, looking at Liu Yao's quiet sleeping face and evenly undulating chest, Jiang Chen lay down beside her, and then closed his eyes.

Early the next morning.

Although he slept late yesterday, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the house, Jiang Chen was the first to wake up.

Got out of bed lightly, he didn't wake Liu Yao up, just left a note on the table, and then put on his shirt and went out.

Taking a taxi to the eastern suburbs of Auckland, Jiang Chen walked along the coastline for a while, and found the fishing ground on the map.

Pulling the owner of the fishing ground, Jiang Chen didn't talk nonsense, directly pointed to the speedboat with a rear cabin parked on the dock, and asked how much it was.

Although the New Zealander insisted on not selling it at first, when he heard that Jiang Chen had opened the price to 10,000 New Zealand dollars and was about to leave, the brown-skinned old fisherman still hurriedly grabbed him and said that the deal was sold.

10,000 New Zealand dollars is almost enough to buy two, not to mention that he has used this speedboat for more than a year.

After the transfer was completed, the guy threw the relevant certificates and keys into Jiang Chen's hand.

As for whether Jiang Chen had a driving certificate or something, he also asked again, but at Jiang Chen's request, he simply taught Jiang Chen the essentials of operation for half an hour.

The speedboat was fairly easy to drive, and after slipping around the offshore under the guidance of the old fisherman, Jiang Chen had almost learned how to drive this thing.

Although when the old fisherman got off the speedboat. The look in his eyes was full of worry. However, Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention to it, and directly turned on the GPS navigator. Pushing up to the maximum, he sped toward the waters northwest of Port Jackson.

Hauraki Bay today. It's still calm.

It was precisely because he didn't encounter any big winds and waves, and according to Jiang Chen's simple and rude way of stepping on the accelerator, he didn't turn the boat over.

When the speedboat drove to the sea area where the yacht passed yesterday afternoon, as Jiang Chen expected, his EP, which was equipped with a four-dimensional transmitter, received the mysterious signal again.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately slowed down his speed, and while stabilizing the heavy steering wheel, he stared closely at the change in signal strength on the EP.

I cruised around the neighborhood in a speedboat for a while. Jiang Chen selected three points with the same signal index and marked them on the paper map.

The rest is much simpler.

The three points were connected, and then the center of the triangle was made, and Jiang Chen quickly determined the approximate two-dimensional coordinates of the signal source.

"That's it!"

Jiang Chen wiped his sweat, grinned, threw the pencil in his hand aside, and drove the boat towards the source of the signal.

"H?" staring at the screen of the EP, Jiang Chen faintly saw a line of vague letters.

However, it was so vague that he could only make out the capitalization of the beginning.

"Is that hello?"

muttered to himself. Jiang Chen turned off the accelerator.

The K1-b mechanical exoskeleton was removed from the storage space and put it on neatly.

【

Oxygen: 100%

Structural Damage: None

Air tightness: normal

】

Glancing at the instrument screen of his right arm and confirming that all the parameters were normal, Jiang Chen walked to the side of the speedboat.

"I hope there is no strong wind. ”

Took a deep breath. Jiang Chen stepped into the water

Poof.

With the rising bubbles, Jiang Chen gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

It was his first attempt at diving far offshore, near Great Baril Island. Generally, if you dive two or three meters, you can see the coral reef on the bottom of the sea. And now, there was only a deep darkness beneath his feet.

The lights and sounds around them faded away. The depth and silence beneath the sea level gradually spread.

【

Current altitude: -20m

Distance to the bottom of the sea: 71m

】

"It's really TMD deep. Looking at the meter, Jiang Chen couldn't help but whisper.

In order to dispel the claustrophobic feeling that lingers in my heart. He tapped his finger on the screen on his right arm, turning on the searchlight on his helmet and the soles of his feet.

The sudden unfolding of the light frightened the little ones who were swimming steadily on the side to flee one after another.

It took almost two minutes for Jiang Chen to approach the bottom of the sea.

The colorful corals and fish, as well as the aquatic plants that sway neatly with the current, are so beautiful in the light.

However, because he had already watched these magnificent underwater scenes yesterday afternoon, Jiang Chen did not stop his eyes on these shocking scenery, and clicked on the screen of his right arm again, starting the data exchange between the mechanical exoskeleton computer and the EP.

The snowflakes were white, but the hidden lines of letters were much clearer than on the surface of the sea.

"HHelp?help?is it a distress signal?" Jiang Chen frowned and looked around.

There were no unusual objects around, and it was clear that there was an error in the three-point positioning. However, this is also inevitable, after all, Jiang Chen did not have measuring equipment, but only made a rough manual calculation with a pencil on the painting.

Shaking the fins on the soles of his feet, Jiang Chen leaned his body and swam in circles nearby, then swam in the direction where the signal strength gradually increased.

The road conditions on the bottom of the sea were not smooth, and within twenty meters of swimming, a pitch-black fracture was crossed in front of Jiang Chen.

The light shines on, and you can't see the bottom.

Looking at the abyss-like trench, Jiang Chen glanced at the meter on his right arm.

【

Current altitude: -101m

Distance to the bottom of the sea: Unknown

】

Or is it that the bottom is a flow mass such as magma, which makes the ranging laser unable to feedback due to the scattering effect?

Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning, no matter what the possibility was, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

According to Jiang Lin, the K1-b was originally designed for amphibious operations, not deep-sea diving, so the safe depth of diving is only within 150 meters.

After hesitating, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and swam towards the bottom of the unfathomable trench.

As he expected, as he continued to dive, the signal received by the EP became stronger and stronger.

210m

243m

At 332m, the world record of scuba diving was unknowingly crossed by Jiang Chen

Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from all directions, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and struggled to inhale air into the lungs that were pressed to the limit.

Fortunately, the compressed gas stored in the oxygen cylinder is helium and oxygen, and if it is nitrogen and oxygen, I am afraid that the nitrogen dissolved in the body tissues alone will make him fall into a coma.

420mīŧ

Eventually, the signal began to decay as the depth dropped.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with joy, and he swam back two or three meters upward, and then began to search along the dark rock wall.

It is also thanks to the fact that he has been injected with genetic drugs, and if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been squeezed into internal bleeding by the water pressure of about 40 atmospheres.

Finally, beside a rugged reef pillar, Jiang Chen saw a very unusual protrusion.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen swung his fins at an accelerated pace and swam towards the stone pillar.

Fingers touched the cold stone pillar, gently pressing. Driven by that inertia, Jiang Chen floated behind the stone pillar.

The light was sprinkled on the black iron that had not seen the light of day for decades.

The swaying of the aquatic plants disturbed the silence.

"My God"

Looking at the landscape in front of him blankly, Jiang Chen forgot to breathe for a while.

Like a gust of wind, carrying Crainn particles, blowing through that dusty history.

The grains of sand slipped down in time.

The buried secret is destined to be revealed. (To be continued......)
