After six days of sailing, except for a brief ascent to ventilation altitude, the submarine remained in a deep dive, during which the submarine captain came to report several times, informing them of their current position and the rendezvous and separation from friendly forces.

Finally, on the night of this day, they arrived at the predetermined sea area, and before arriving, everyone went to the command room, but looking at the surrounding crews, Xu Liquan felt that something was wrong, so he had to take the captain back to the lounge together.

Everyone sat at the table with a huge chart, and looked at each other silently, and everyone's eyes looked at Fang Shi intentionally or unintentionally.

Fang Shi raised his head consciously, glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "What are you looking at me for?" Ouyang Sect Master, please confirm the plan of action. ”

Ouyang Houtian coughed lightly, realizing that he was also subtly dominated by square stones, this was not a good phenomenon, and he automatically lowered his identity by one level for no reason.

"Let's listen to the captain first, and tell me about the surrounding situation."

Xu Liquan turned his head and nodded at the captain, the captain was a carefully selected and reliable officer, and the fleet leader had given him a vaccination, so how curious he was about these strange people, he couldn't see or hear anything these days.

Seeing Xu Liquan nodding his head, the captain stood up, took a marker pen and began to explain while marking on the chart on the desktop.

"Our drama detachment carried out offensive and defensive drills in the range of 60 nautical miles to 120 nautical miles west-southwest of our boats, and the time was three days, in other words. We have three days of relatively safe activities. But. The small surveillance fleets of the Japanese and the United States are also active in the nearby waters, and there are satellites in the sky, so our actions must still be covert, submarines will not surface, and they will not be able to sail at high speeds, and they can only use electric action during the day and cruise at the height of the snorkel at night. Communication is severely restricted. You can only receive messages, not send them. That's basically the case, oh, and according to the weather and hydrological data received, there will be sunny weather in the sea around here for about a week. ”

Ouyang Houtian nodded when he heard this, then looked at Xu Liquan and said, "Minister Xu, can the underwater equipment we set up nearby be connected now?" ”

Xu Liquan nodded, pointed to the monitor on the side, and pressed the remote control in his hand a few times, and some numbers and pictures appeared on the monitor. The picture is a little unclear, probably because the lens of the camera equipment is dirty. After all, it is not very convenient to maintain here, and if you don't come for maintenance for several months, the effect of the monitor will definitely be reduced.

However, the other numbers are very sensitive, the water temperature and pressure, etc., as well as the working condition of the underwater acoustic equipment, are very good.

In the footage, there are just some ordinary underwater reefs, and there are all kinds of sea creatures, and if you don't know about it, you will think that this is a camera dedicated to monitoring underwater creatures.

Fang Shi smacked his lips and suddenly said, "Master Ouyang, your sect's research on marine life must have some results, right?" ”

Xia Yuxin snorted and laughed, and the others were stunned for a moment and then tried their best to hold back their laughter, Lin Tianyin looked at Fang Shi in astonishment, and then glared at Xia Yuxin with some annoyance, Ouyang Houtian smiled.

"What are we going to do with that?"

Fang Shi smiled playfully: "The ocean is a big treasure trove, if you have the ability, you should study it well." ”

Fang Shi said half-truths, everyone was a little confused, originally thought that Fang Shi was joking Ouyang Houtian, but now it doesn't seem to be, could it be that the Earth Demon Gate is really taking the opportunity to study marine life, Xu Liquan suddenly thought of the snakes under Qin Ling, and the dragon that had lost its trace.

Ouyang Houtian smiled and nodded: "Elder Fang's opinion will be seriously considered, but let's talk about the matter of Yingzhou Cave Heaven for now." ”

Fang Shi nodded, pointed to one of the pictures and said, "This is the image in the direction of due south?" I remember that there was supposed to be a reef here, but now it seems to be gone. ”

Fang Shi said this, Ouyang Houtian and others also felt that it seemed to be the same thing, so everyone took out their computers, or mobile phones, and looked for image data in the south direction on it, in contrast, they found that Fang Shi pointed out that there was a reef missing, looking at the traces on it, it seemed to be peeled off, but unfortunately the lens could not be rotated, and even if it was rotated, it was impossible to shoot the situation in the depths of the sea.

"Could it be an earthquake?"

Xu Liquan's guess is very likely, because this is still near the Pacific seismic zone, and earthquakes should be frequent.

Fang Shi frowned, according to his statistics, all the cave heavens on the land of Huaxia are not in the earthquake zone, the reason is very simple, the leylines below the earthquake zone are very unstable, and it is impossible to form a good feng shui environment. To put it another way, the landform on the earthquake zone changes rapidly, and even if there is good feng shui, it may change in the blink of an eye, how can it form a thousand-year-old blessed land?

In the same way, overseas caves should also follow this criterion, although the island or something is a bit ridiculous to talk about surface feng shui, but the underwater water veins will also change due to changes in the seabed topography, in this way, it will definitely affect the luck of the island, and more importantly, Yingzhou Dongtian obviously has a mountain protection array, under the influence of such a drastic change in the surrounding environment, isn't it amazing that the mountain protection array can still be effective for a long time?

Of course, everyone didn't know that Fang Shi had turned so many thoughts in a short moment, they were still thinking about where this reef had gone, how to find the missing reef, and for the time being, what would be the point of this reef being gone.

"Master Ouyang, does this situation often occur during your monitoring of Yingzhou Cave Heaven?"

Ouyang Houtian thought for a while and said: "No, there are only a limited number of times in my memory, and what can be confirmed is that an earthquake affected some reefs, and the other times I don't know the reason." ”

Fang Shi thought for a moment and said, "You should have the number of earthquakes here, let me see." ”

Lin Tianyin glanced at Ouyang Houtian, Ouyang Houtian nodded slightly, Lin Tianyin quickly clicked a few times on the computer in front of him, and sure enough, he turned out the number of earthquakes in the past two hundred years, Fang Shi saw nothing, and the captain looked at it with surprise in his eyes, who are these people? How could there be a number of earthquakes in this barren sea area for two hundred years!

Fang Shi took the laptop, slipped away at a glance, the number jù is quite intuitive, and a line chart was made below, from which you can clearly see several peaks, looking at the interval between the periods, Fang Shi was very surprised to find that these peaks are wonderful exactly once every twelve years, which is not a coincidence.

Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case, and then took a closer look, this year happened to be the peak of seismic activity, Fang Shi glanced at Ouyang Houtian meaningfully, it was obvious that this Ouyang Houtian proposed to jointly explore Yingzhou Cave Heaven at this time It was also a thoughtful consideration, and it was by no means a hot-headed decision.

Seems to feel Fang Shi's gaze, Ouyang Houtian glanced at Fang Shi with a smile, Fang Shi pushed the computer in front of Xia Yuxin, he looked at Ouyang Houtian and said: "Ouyang Sect Master, it's already this time, don't you still have to hide it?" ”

Ouyang Houtian laughed: "Elder Fang misunderstood, it is not that a certain person wants to hide it, but there are a lot of these observations, and a certain family does not know what you need, but Elder Fang needs it, as long as a certain family has it, it will definitely not be hidden, after all, the person who most wants to open the gate of Yingzhou Cave Heaven is a certain family." ”

Fang Shi smiled noncommittally: "When you say that, I really don't know what information I should want, Minister Xu, do you have any clue?" ”

Xu Liquan shook his head and looked at Zhu Wenbiao and He Yuanqing, although these two people are also from the Xuanmen, but they know less about the battle game and the legendary Dongtian, and they can't have any opinions, the official is very strange, the person sent this time is not the person who studied the history of the formation and the Xuanmen, perhaps, the official felt that the person he found was basically a joke in front of Fang Shi and Ouyang Houtian, so he simply sent a few thugs and monitors to make up the number.

Fang Shi didn't care about Xu Liquan's inaction, and turned his head to look at Ouyang Houtian with a faint smile: "It's still the Ouyang Sect Master to arrange it, the Ouyang Sect Master must have a perfect plan, right?" ”

Ouyang Houtian didn't care about Fang Shi's implicit sarcastic words, and nodded with a smile: "A certain family has made a plan, and they are about to say it and discuss it." ”

"Please."

At this time, Xia Yuxin also finished reading the earthquake data, and by the way, he flipped it back indiscriminately, and there were all kinds of hydrological and astronomical historical data in the back, and even various memorabilia that happened in this sea area.

Xia Yuxin threw the computer to Xu Liquan, Xia Yuxin definitely did it on purpose, and after doing it, she raised her eyebrows proudly at Lin Tianyin, quite provocative, Lin Tianyin frowned a little dissatisfied, but in the end she didn't say anything, this is not the time to make contradictions.

As if he hadn't seen it, Ouyang Houtian smiled and said unhurriedly: "According to our research, the Yingzhou Cave Heaven Sea area is a cycle of changes, with twelve years as a small cycle and sixty years as a big cycle, the reason for this will not be explained, everyone must be very clear, and this year, it happens to be a sixty-year cycle." At this point in the cycle, there will be drastic changes in the surrounding sea area, including the frequency and intensity of earthquakes, the water pressure and temperature of the seawater, the rainfall and wind on the sea surface, and the changes in the underwater undercurrent."

Fang Shi nodded when he heard this, he saw this from the information just now, even if he couldn't see it, Fang Shi could roughly guess that the deduction and change of the formation generally have a fixed cycle, according to different formations, there may be three years, five years, six years, seven years, eight years, nine years, twelve years, and so on.

In the node years of these periodic laws, the formation will be more active, because this is the beginning of a new cycle, and the formation will change in response to the changes in the general environment and even the stars, at this time node, it is easiest to see the change law of the formation, therefore, it is very reasonable for Ouyang Houtian to choose this time to explore the Yingzhou Cave Heaven.
