The boat quickly came to a near halt, and then a dinghy headed towards the group.

There were three people sitting on the dinghy, a middle-aged uncle with half a hundred hair, who was also a handsome man when he was young. A woman with a cold temperament, whose face looks somewhat similar to that middle-aged uncle, should be his daughter or other relatives. The last one is a middle-aged uncle who looks like an Indian.

The middle-aged uncle who led the way came up to the beach and came straight to Chen Fan.

"Hello, are you from the Xia Kingdom? My surname is Zhang, you can call us Dr. Zhang, this is my daughter Zhang Suyin, this is Mark. The leading middle-aged uncle introduced to Chen Fan.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, yes, I am from Xia Guo, and this is my fiancée Momoko, Japanese. This ......" Chen Fan took Mr. Zhang's hand and introduced him.

After the three of them introduced themselves one by one, Dr. Zhang said to Chen Fan: "We are personnel from a nearby scientific research platform, and we have detected a violent explosion in this sea area before, so we came over to take a look at the situation. ”

"Oh, yes, we were passengers on the Agor, and we were attacked by a giant octopus-shaped sea monster before we fell silent. So I hope you can come to the rescue of those of us in the spirit of humanitarianism. Chen Fan introduced the situation on his side.

"Okay, you can return to the research platform with us first, and then you can go back with our ship when we procure supplies." Dr. Zhang nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

Then the group took the boat of Dr. Zhang and others and prepared to return to the scientific research platform.

A few hours later, Chen Fan and his party saw a building resembling a drilling platform towering over the middle of the sea.

"Look, that's our scientific research platform, our platform is the best in the world, specializing in studying the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, and I'll show you around it later." Maybe it's because Chen Fan is also from the Xia Kingdom, and Zhang Suyin is very willing to communicate with Chen Fan.

The ship then slowly approached the platform and eventually stopped.

After everyone went up to the platform, a little girl screamed at her mother and pounced on Zhang Suyin.

"This is my daughter, her name is Mei Ying. Call Uncle Chen and Mei Ying. Zhang Suyin dotingly stroked Mei Ying's head and introduced to Chen Fan.

"Hello Uncle Chen!" Mei Ying was not afraid of life, and said hello to Chen Fan crisply.

Hearing this, Chen Fan squatted down and touched the head of the little girl Mei Ying, and said with a smile: "Hello, little beauty, she is a big beauty like your mother, watch me do a magic trick for you." ”

After speaking, Chen Fan put his hand behind his back, took out a candy from the space, and then took it to Mei Ying and handed it to her.

For Chen Fan's praise for other women, Peaches was very concerned at the moment, and couldn't help but lean down and touch Mei Ying's cheek with a smile while stretching her hand to Chen Fan's waist.

"Ahem~ What then? Let's go in and stop blowing the sea breeze here. Chen Fan, who was in pain, quickly got up and pretended to be casual, causing Zhang Suyin, who was witnessing the whole process, to cover her mouth and snicker.

Then everyone followed the three into a dilapidated elevator.

As the floor presses, the elevator begins to descend. Everyone looked at the dilapidated elevator in front of them with a strange expression.

"Don't look shabby on the surface, but trust me, our facilities are some of the best in the world." In the elevator, Dr. Zhang couldn't help but introduce everyone when he saw everyone's expressions.

As he spoke, the elevator reached the floor, and the door slid open to the top and bottom.

What catches your eye is a very high-tech looking passageway, with busy staff hurrying around the aisle, and an all-glass cover at the end of the passage protects the interior.

Outside the glass enclosure is turquoise waters, where countless fish and marine life roam freely.

In the exclamation of everyone, Dr. Zhang raised his hand to lead everyone to the glass and said with a smile: "Welcome to the O floor, from where our researchers can go to the five major laboratories. ”

After the introduction, everyone took the elevator again and followed Dr. Zhang and the three to the main control room on the lower level.

After pushing in from a door, Chen Fan looked at the touch-sensitive transparent monitors everywhere in the control room, and his face was full of surprise, "In this era, is the technology of our Xia Kingdom so developed?" ”

Knowing that Chen Fan didn't know much about the situation in recent years, Taozi hurriedly said to Chen Fan: "Fan, you may not know very well, in recent years, your Xia Kingdom has developed very rapidly, and many science and technology are already leading the world. ”

Hearing Peaches' explanation, Chen Fan thought for a while, it seems that the development of this world is still very different from the original world, at least the development of the field of science and technology is ahead of the world for many years.

Dr. Zhang led the crowd to a short-haired woman dressed in a very neutral manner, "This is our engineer and submarine designer Jakes. ”

"Hey, beauty, you're so good at designing such a miraculous building." Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to Jax.

Hearing someone praise his work, Jax got up with a smile and shook Chen Fan's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Thank you for your recognition of my work, I can take you to see my other masterpiece later, that is, submarines." ”

"Really? That's great, and I'm excited to see another masterpiece of yours. Hearing this, Chen Fan was very interested in the submarine designed by Jakes.

"I don't think you'll be disappointed, this is the first submarine in the world to be able to reach the deepest part of the Mariana Trench to date." On the side, Zhang Suyin also introduced to Chen Fan.

Later, through the introduction, everyone got to know the main personnel of the research station, such as the doctor Heller, the DJ who controls the remote detector, and other research stations.

Through understanding, everyone was very interested in the kind of monster called Ottoria that Chen Fan and others encountered.

"Is there really that kind of sea life? Like you guys say. Zhang Suyin was a little skeptical of Chen Fan and others' statements.

Regarding the suspicion of Zhang Suyin and others, Chen Fan also expressed helplessness, after all, he had no influence and information to provide them with proof.

And Fenegan, Cui Lin and others expressed great indignation at everyone's suspicions, after all, these are all personal experiences, and they have escaped death.

"You don't believe it, I can't help it, but the small island you rescued us before was quite weird, where we also killed a giant python more than twenty meters long, and the corpses are still there, you can send someone to see it when you have time."

"A giant python more than twenty meters long? Okay, I'll send someone over and check it out. "The people who stretched the octopus scientific research station the size of a cruise ship didn't believe it, but although the twenty-meter python was uncommon, it had a similar registration, so the director of the scientific research station, Mark, nodded and signaled that he would arrange it.

"So Dr. Zhang, what is the main purpose of your current research? Is it just the exploration of the Mariana Trench? Chen Fan looked at Dr. Zhang curiously.

"Please come with me over here." Hearing this, Dr. Zhang led everyone to a huge monitor spread out in the warehouse.

"Since 1875, the Mariana Trench has been considered the deepest place on Earth. I came up with the idea that what we thought was the bottom of the ocean might just be a layer of hydrogen sulfide, and you see, there might be a new world beneath that stratus and the icy thermocline. Dr. Zhang pointed to the virtual model on the monitor and said.

"That means we'll be the first to see it." Zhang Suyin added.

"Doctor, maybe you don't believe it, there was an expedition before, and a few friends and I fell into the inner world, where ......" Chen Fan thought about it and told Dr. Zhang his story in the center of the earth in another world.

"Chen Fan, I think you're completely imaginary, I've also read Verne's novel, it's just a science fiction novel." At this time, Dr. Zhang's eyes looked at Chen Fan as if he was looking at a madman.

"It's just that you haven't experienced it, and you have to believe it when a fact is in front of you, just like what happened on our cruise ship before, do you think anyone will believe it?" Hearing this, Chen Fan didn't explain, just looked at everyone with a slight smile.

However, for Chen Fan's narration, Fenigan and the others lowered their heads thoughtfully, after all, they were also parties who had experienced the Ottoria attack with Chen Fan, and they still believed it a little.

After visiting the research station, Dr. Zhang took everyone to the lounge.

However, Chen Fan and Taozi said that they wanted to see the submarine of the scientific research station, so they followed Jax and Zhang Suyin to the moon pool where the submarine was stored.

Looking at the three submarines full of science fiction suspended in the moon pool, Chen Fan was amazed.

"Don't look at this submarine as small, but it allows you to dive to a depth of more than 10,000 meters under the sea." Zhang Suyin stroked a saucer-shaped mini-submarine with a face full of love.

Hearing this, Momoko came to her side with an exclamation on her face: "Wow, it's amazing, I can't imagine it, it's so small and cute." ”

"We have a total of four submarines, and we need a large submarine, the Origin, which has already entered the deep sea with three personnel for testing." Jakes pointed to the only large submarine and introduced it to Chen Fan.

"It's amazing, but a high-tech submarine like this costs a lot, right?" Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

At first, he was surprised because of the fact that technology was so big in this era, but after the surprise, he was very calm, after all, he was also a man who had seen the market, fought alien creatures, and sat in a spaceship.

"That's natural, the small submarine is called a gliding submarine and costs 10 million dollars, and the large one is called Evolution, which costs 30 million dollars. Although it is not as expensive as a military submarine, it is already the most expensive submarine in the world. Jakes said proudly.

Chen Fan pursed his lips secretly when he heard this, I am afraid that you don't know what high-tech is, if my brother gets out the solar exploration vehicle in the space, I am afraid that the technology on it will scare you to death.
