Li Tongchen frowned, what stone statue? What Arctic?

He immediately turned on the TV and found the news channel, which was playing a news story from the Arctic region.

What is said in the news is a very mysterious and serious natural phenomenon in the Arctic region.

Just a few days ago, an earthquake occurred at the bottom of the sea nearly 100 nautical miles northwest of the Bering Strait, and the intensity of this earthquake was not small, with a magnitude of seven, and even caused a small tsunami in the Arctic Ocean.

However, after all, it is a no-man's land, there are not many islands, and it is an earthquake on the bottom of the deep sea, so it has not attracted much attention at all.

It's just that today, the remote sensing satellites of several major countries suddenly discovered that the earthquake area located within the Arctic Circle suddenly had an extremely strong thermal response, or energy response.

At first, I thought it was a submarine heat flow caused by an undersea volcanic eruption.

It's just that the area of thermal reaction is spreading rapidly, and it has reached a radius of 100 kilometers.

Judging from the current heat peak and the scope of the impact, if it is really a volcanic eruption, this is definitely a supervolcano, enough to cause a huge ecological and environmental disaster.

At the same time, the geological data of the seabed in that area showed that there was no geological activity here, the crust was extremely thick, and there was no change, and it was clearly not a volcanic eruption.

Because of this, it has attracted more attention.

A large number of oceanographers and geologists have gathered in this area on various research ships to see what is happening.

After all, there had been stone statues on the bottom of the Arctic before, and in the end, they were razed to the ground by a lost supercavitating nuclear torpedo, so many people were extremely vigilant.

Now, it is the day when the members of the Ice Dragon scientific expedition team take the "Qianlong No. 9 10,000-meter-level submersible" to dive and explore!

The Salvation Army's warriors are so addicted to the "real apocalyptic game" these days that they are completely occupied by the game's missions, and they don't know much about what is happening in the outside world, except for the necessary eating, drinking, and some very important matters that need to be dealt with.

And when they failed the mission and were forced out of the game, they found out about the headline that happened in the North Pole.

As players of the "real apocalyptic game", they naturally understand better what happened to the last Arctic stone statue ruins and the dangers hidden behind them.

Therefore, the abnormal changes caused by the earthquake in the Arctic immediately sounded the alarm in the hearts of the Salvation Army soldiers who saw the news.

"I see, Brother Adrian, thanks for the reminder...... Let's postpone our meeting for the time being, let's see what the situation is......" Li Tongchen said to Adrian in the video.

Adrian nodded solemnly, and the TV behind him was also playing the current Arctic exploration news.

Li Tongchen poured himself a cup of wolfberry and red date tea, and watched the real-time broadcast on TV with a thermos cup, secretly worried in his heart.

This strange heat response doesn't look like a good sign at all......

…… I wonder what the commander is doing now?

In the TV picture, several scientific research submariners have entered the Qianlong No. 9 10,000-meter-class submersible, and with the rotation of the noose, they began to break away from the ice dragon research ship and dive towards the bottom of the sea.

At this time, there were already four members of the scientific expedition team in the submersible, each from three countries.

There are two in Huaguo, one in Eagle and one in Xiong.

The faces of these people are somewhat familiar to people all over the world, and they are still the four scientific expeditioners from the last Arctic stone statue ruins.

As the new vice captain of the Ice Dragon Scientific Expedition Team, Kong Yan's mood at this time was extremely complicated.

He looked at Jiang Bing, who had been promoted to captain next to him, and couldn't help complaining:

"Team Jiang, why are there four of us again? Don't the young people in the bureau know how to be motivated? I thought I would be able to go to the sea less after becoming an official......"

Then he turned his head to look at the two members of the expedition team of the Eagle Country and the Bear Country opposite, and said:

"Ivan, didn't you just get promoted to deputy director? Why is it coming again this time? And Joe, I don't understand you, you have obviously made a fortune to become an entertainment star, and you are back to do something snorkeling. ”

After the last catastrophe of the Arctic Stone Statue Ruins, the four of them have become good friends who share the hardships, and although they don't see each other often, their online contact has never been interrupted.

Hearing Kong Yan's complaint, Jiang Bing rolled his eyes and said:

"The bureau didn't force you to come, if you really don't want to go down, why didn't you bring it up when you asked for advice before? I'm incompetent as a captain, and it's not worth telling you the truth? ”

Kong Yan pursed his lips and said:

"What can I say? Did I say I was scared? Don't let people laugh to death! This vice-captain is so good that people poke their backbones...... To be honest, I actually want to come, but it's a little tangled, after all, the child in the family has just been born, this flag is too bad, I'm afraid......"

Ivan on the other side laughed, raised his hand and patted Kong Yan's shoulder and said:

"Don't be afraid, Kong, my flag is more intimidating than yours, I am already the head of the Russian State Oceanic Administration, and I just took office yesterday!"

Joe also smiled and said:

"It's just a small task, by the way, I'm getting married next month, and I solemnly invite everyone to my wedding!"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Yan almost jumped up, pointed around and said:

"I just gave birth, old Ivan has just become a big official, Joe is still going to get married, what are we? This is the rhythm of the collective funeral flag! It's a funeral parlor ode to joy! ”

Then he looked at Jiang Bing and asked cautiously:

"Team Jiang, you don't have anything good, right?"

Jiang Bing glanced at him angrily and said:

"Can't I have a good thing? My daughter has just made it to the finals of the junior piano competition and will be playing next week. ”

Hearing this, Kong Yan's face turned pale, he sat on the seat, and muttered:

"It's over, it's over, it's a place where there's no return...... What a ...... this is?"

Jiang Bing raised his eyebrows and said:

"Comrade Kong Yan, you are already the deputy captain, how can you still be so feudal and superstitious? Can you set an example for the younger players in the team? I have all the children, why are I still so unconcerned, be careful that I will go back and tell your wife. ”

Hearing that Jiang Bing was about to sue, Kong Yan hurriedly begged for mercy and said:

"Don't don't, I'm not joking to liven up the atmosphere, I'm a staunch materialist, how can I engage in feudal superstition."

Seeing Kong Yan's appearance, Ivan and Joe couldn't help but laugh.

The reason why they like Kong Yan as a friend is mainly because the other party's personality is really happy.

Originally, everyone was a little apprehensive when they just dived, but at this time, they were gagged by Kong Yan for a while, but they were much more relaxed, and the deep-sea submersible was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After the light on the seabed gradually dimmed, the submersible soon dived several kilometers and was about to reach the area where the energy reaction of the seabed was most intense.

At this time, Kong Yan and the others also put away their relaxation just now, became much more serious, and began to quickly check all kinds of data, and their expressions became more solemn.

The temperature here has reached more than 30 degrees!

Unless there is undersea volcanic activity, this temperature is almost impossible.

But it did appear again.

The heavy red shadows on the energy detection radar gradually became darker and darker.

The deep-sea submersible began to eject compressed gas, propelling the submersible forward on the ocean floor towards the place where the energy display was strongest.

After more than ten minutes, the energy detector began to chirp in an alarm-like manner.

At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding sea water rose again, and at this time it had reached more than 70 degrees!

The originally pitch-black seabed suddenly faintly appeared at this time.

And it's not white light or specific light, but colorful light that looks like a rainbow.

Seeing everything in front of them, the eyes of everyone in the submersible couldn't help but widen.

Just a few dozen meters in front of the submersible, an irregular annular area with a diameter of about two meters was suspended at this time.

There seems to be a film in the middle of this ring that blocks the intrusion of seawater.

The interior of the ring-shaped area looks like a vast starry sky!
