Chapter 8: Tens of Meters Under the Sea

What is Lemuria?

To put it simply, it's a legendary continent.

Like the Great Western Continent, like the Mu Continent, like Gendaya - he is the legendary civilization that once existed, a world that has disappeared.

To name an underwater park with this kind of name, I have to say that the heart is really big. Waves are not romantic, at least not a good sign.

When it's not sinking, people worry about sinking, and when it's really sinking, it's even worse.

Because he doesn't like water, Klute doesn't want to have anything to do with the park at all. But there is no way, the employer's idea is undoubtedly more important than his own wishes.

"So I really don't understand what you young people have to do in the underwater park?"

"Alright, Daddy, why don't you stay on shore?"

"It's all here, and what stupid things are you talking about. ”

After arriving at the park by plane, the group was warmly received by the operator. Not only did they get a specially printed tour booklet, but they also had a liaison officer.

Although it is not enough to say that the idlers are dismissed, it is really very careful to achieve this point.

The reason is very simple - because Alice's tour has a certain 'official color'.

Remember the German conference in the previous chapters? Yes, this super underwater park on the high seas is actually a subsidiary of the Black Forest Group.

A...... Pharmaceutical companies.

"To be honest, I don't really understand why pharmaceutical companies would open underwater parks...... And there's a secret laboratory on the bottom of the sea, what if something happens? Is it really necessary?"

In order to adapt to the high pressure in the underwater area, the group first waited in the pressurized chamber for five minutes and thirty seconds. And in the meantime, Alice, who was browsing the VIP version of the manual, finally couldn't help but complain.

But what to say about such a thing.

Anyway, Klut didn't know what to say, and he felt that it was abnormal.

I don't really remember the name of that company, but it is said to have a leg with the former umbrella company.

It is mainly engaged in some low-intensity biochemical modification, including but not limited to the production of cloned organs to enhance the physical fitness of users.

The company's position is very important in this collaboration. It is responsible for providing a 'crew enhancement solution' for the power armor, because the suit is limited in size, and in order not to allow the load-resistant equipment to take up more space, the company's genetic designers must provide the wearer with a reasonable reinforcement package that allows them to withstand more loads at the lowest possible cost.

Does this have anything to do with Kaguya?

Of course it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, this brain-brained medical company is the only company in the Black Forest Group that has opened such an underwater park – and it's still very popular.

Thus, this kind of 'simple invitation' with a sense of goodwill appeared in front of Alice.

"But the reception was simple enough, and I thought it would be at least accompanied by someone. Invite you to go to the lab and see something like that. ”

"I mentioned it, but I declined. ”

"Huh?"

"Anyway, I can't understand it, and it's enough for the face project to do it here. Anyway, I'm here to relax, so please put work aside for now. ”

"Okay, okay. ”

When the time came, Kluet put together the guide.

The doors of the pressurized chamber open to both sides, revealing a view of the underwater world...... Well, as I want to say, the world that appears in front of me is really just a completely enclosed square.

Aside from the pictorial posters posted here and there, it is more like a small square in a building than a living compartment submerged in the sea.

"Central square. ”

Klut confirmed his current position and looked at Alice.

"If you want to see directly underwater, you have to walk up a little bit and go straight down the corridor to reach the viewing area. ”

"I'm looking forward to it. ”

"I didn't expect anything from me...... It's hard to think about it underwater or something. ”

"Daddy, you have to see the atmosphere too. ”

"Okay, you have the final say, you have the final say. ”

Since it's not a holiday, there aren't really many visitors to the park — no, not so much as a few, which makes Kluet even more confused.

What is the purpose of these guys?

Capitalists don't do business at a loss, and if they want to stay in business, there must be a reason.

And what could be the reason for that?

Probably a public welfare activity...... Something like that.

Anyway, Klute couldn't think of any other reason.

"Oh, is this it?"

Walk through a somewhat long passage to reach the outer viewing area of the ring. What appeared in front of the group was a sea separated by a glass curtain wall and illuminated by spotlights.

The panoramic convex glass windows give visitors a striking visual experience – the feeling of being surrounded by the sea, as if they are about to blend in with the turquoise blue in the next moment.

That's really......

Really......

Awful.

"......" Klute shuddered, and subconsciously bared his teeth. And in contrast to this land animal, the girls in the team let out a sigh of surprise.

Obviously, they have already experienced the underwater world in the AR world, but when they see it with their own eyes, they seem to be shocked again.

As for it?

As for the.

Kluet, anyway, was a little scared.

Although he never told anyone, he really hated the sea. Although Kluter is very good at swimming and diving, it is one thing to be good at it, and it is another thing to like it.

Looking at the girls lying on the window watching the fish, the old man just wanted to light a cigarette and stay away from that window.

He didn't want a crow's mouth at all, but he was really scared when he looked at the window - what if it shattered? How to escape from this underwater?

Just in case, it's better to stay closer to the exit.

"Oh yes. ”

At this time, Klute suddenly remembered something.

He tapped his headphones (which doubled as a barometric pressure regulator) and, following the instructions in the manual, called the 'staff' of the underwater park.

There is no entity, but a special humanoid that serves all visitors in the form of retinal projection - Sora.

"Are you there?"

Of course, the answer to him was not a Da Qin dialect, but a long-haired woman floating in front of him.

"Yes, I'm Lemu's service staff, empty, do you need help?"

It was a woman wearing a white cheongsam with a gentle and kind voice.

It seems that seeing Kluet's age, she subconsciously wants to adopt an attitude towards the elderly. But looking at the exaggerated muscles, she fell into hesitation again.

Fortunately, Kluet didn't care about her little gaffe, which was a trivial matter compared to it. He was more concerned about another issue.

"Do you sell hot dogs here?"

Just now on the way here, Klute saw someone holding a hot dog. It seems that it was not brought down from the sea, so it can only mean that there is a hot dog stand under the surface of the sea.

I have to say that although this is a sick setting, it is really happy.

"Yes, the hot dog shop is located on ZweiteStock, which is the second floor of the park's lounge area. You can find instructions about hot dog shops, as well as menus, on page 17 of the guidebook. As a VIP user, all services in the park are free of charge, and if you wish to do so, you only need to show your brochure to the staff. ”

That sounds good.

Although Klute did not lack that little change, this attitude made him very comfortable. Although it is only incidental care, it is right to feel good, and it is a very important thing to feel good.

"Let's go down and have a look later, I remember that the second floor is an entertainment facility?"

"Yes, the second floor of the park includes adventure-themed rides and traditional entertainment including spinning teacups. ”

“……”

Isn't this idle?

The first floor is a cold and luxurious super aquarium, and the second floor has become a playground with a limited area? Not to mention whether anyone will run here for this, this waste of space alone makes Klute a little surprised.

But whatever he is, this is not the property of the Heinlea family, and Klut only needs to be surprised, and does not intend to say anything.

He looked at Alice, and after making sure that the girls were still talking and laughing, and chatting with the fish attracted by the lights. He continued the conversation with Sora, intending to take the opportunity to learn more about it.

"Hmm...... Probably a bit of a faux pas. ”

"Don't worry, if you have any questions that I need to help you answer, don't hesitate. ”

Looking at the pretty face with a clever smile, Klute sighed. Finally, he closed the guidebook and shook his head.

"Forget it, I just want to talk about the taste of hot dogs, do you have any recommendations? ”

Questions like: Where do you put your escape equipment?

It's not that he's afraid of being beaten, after all, both his age and his body are reliable enough, but his old face is really a little uncomfortable.

Although he was really a little scared.
