The nuclear-powered research ship Ryujin, full of all the harvest and joy of the scientific research team, heard the first greeting from the motherland as soon as it sailed into the South China Sea, full of warm greetings from home.

At ten o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, July 21, the scorching sun of midsummer did not bring more heat to the ship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, several young sailors stood on the upper deck of the bridge and blew the sea breeze, and the sweet voice of China's quantum network era came out from the silver tooth earphones, "Hello, welcome home, China Communication reminds you to contact your family in time......"

This is a new era of China's communication network, people do not need mobile phones and computer screens, just a silver tooth headset is enough, it can not only complete telephone communication, but also real-time holographic image VR scene video communication, all thanks to the rapid development of China's quantum communication and quantum computer technology. For these young crews, of course, they have not had the experience of 5G and 6G networks in history, and they cannot feel the superiority of this new technology network.

Lin Xiaoman walked out of the bridge command room, walked to the upper deck, and felt the comfort of his whole body in the sea breeze, and forgot everything in his mind in an instant. She felt so depressed in the command room just now, she didn't seem to have imagined that the sea breeze on the bridge was so comfortable. At this time, Lin Xiaoman's silver tooth headset rang, "Hello, welcome home, China Communication reminds you to contact your family in time, reply to your mother's message three times, leave a message from your friend twelve times, change the information of the robot task once, and resume the interview with the psychologist ......"

Lin Xiaoman turned on the silver tooth earphones, and a holographic projection appeared in front of him, which was a message from his mother, "Xiaoman, my mother is still in Melbourne, I need to wait a few more days, and I will go back after signing the contract." From the background in the picture, Lin Xiaoman knew that this was a message sent back from a mountain villa in Melbourne. Lin Xiaoman is a single-parent girl, her father died of illness, she grew up with her mother, her mother is a health care product marketer, with assets of more than 100 million, how can she be regarded as a rich second generation.

When the projection was turned off, Lin Xiaoman finally saw the fax file in his hand, which was the deuterium gas mining base in the South China Sea of Tianluo Mining Group, and sent it to Li Fangkun, deputy director of the Group's Institute of Geophysics, and the scientific research team led by him, asking them to stop at the deuterium gas base for a short time, and secretly go to the Beijing headquarters with Xiyang to transfer to a submarine. The Ryujin research ship continued to sail according to the original route. Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked towards the rest cabin at the back.

The soil is a soil that can grow infinitely in Chinese myths and legends, and the allusion comes from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the "Neijing" records: "The red water is monstrous, and the soil of the emperor is stolen with red water, and the emperor does not serve the emperor's life, and the emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill the fish abyss." The female belly gave birth to Yu, and the emperor ordered Yu to spread the soil to set Kyushu. It tells the story of the Yaoshun period in ancient times, when the world flooded and the flood flooded the sky. Kun was appointed to control the flood, and he stole Di Yao's soil to plug the flood without Di Yao's consent. Di Yao asked Zhu Rong to execute Kun in Yuyuan. After Dayu, the widow of Kun, became an adult, Emperor Yao ordered Yu to control the water and determine the boundaries of Kyushu in ancient China. During the Jin Dynasty, Guo Pu's "Notes on the Classic of Mountains and Seas" has: "Those who rest on the soil say that the soil grows infinitely, so it can be plugged into floods." ”

From the first time that human beings discovered the real existence of the earth in the meteorite belt of the orbit of the earth planet in the solar system, to more than one tracking study organized by experts from various countries, and finally discovered that this is a kind of ejecta from a huge black hole, a magical substance with high energy, high heat and high radiation characteristics, its powerful energy and the special nature of infinite growth have become the greatest hope for human beings to permanently solve the energy problem, and it has also become the only choice to solve the power of the warp engine, once this mysterious energy existing in the universe is mastered, Humanity's space travel will be easy.

However, after more than one failure, scientists from all over the world finally realized that it is difficult to find a way to capture this miraculous substance in outer space due to its extremely powerful energy, extremely fast movement and extremely destructive power. Professor Li Fangkun is an internationally renowned geophysicist, the world's top 500 enterprises ranked first in the chief expert of China Tianluo Mining, with the company's strong scientific research strength, he led a scientific research team composed of more than a dozen top experts at home and abroad, after more than ten years of hard work, finally found a superconductor alloy that can capture the soil, as well as a special current emitter, but their spacecraft in the subsequent earth orbit tracking process, but never saw the shadow of the two erratic soil.

After months of searching, hundreds of exploration satellites around the world finally found nothing except for a super-large black hole in the orbit of Mercury, and in the disappointment and sighs of experts from all over the world, the Sky Wolf Energy Observation Satellite launched by Sky Wolf Mining accidentally discovered the extraordinary radiation under the Antarctic glacier, and determined that this abnormal ray is the polyp. Li Fangkun led the scientific research team to the Antarctic on the Ryujin research ship, and after more than three months of hard work, they finally found this unique ancient soil in a huge space composed of magnetic ore under the ice cap, and successfully captured it.

Now this world-renowned rare energy is in the sealed cabin of this ship, packed in a box made of superconductor alloy, which is the greatest harvest and joy of more than a dozen scientific research experts and more than 20 crew members on this highly intelligent technology-controlled ship. As the leader of this scientific expedition, Professor Li Fangkun has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights. When the Ryujin left Antarctica, crossed icebergs and ocean storms, and finally entered the South China Sea, Li Fangkun finally couldn't support it anymore and returned to his rest cabin, and two hours of sleep passed.

Lin Xiaoman took the fax in her hand and quickly walked to Li Fangkun's cabin door, facing the circular glass window above the door, she suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to wake up Professor Li now, or wait for him to sleep a little longer?

Li Fangkun woke up from his sleep suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body trembled violently. Li Fangkun instantly had a bad feeling, something must have happened, what he was most afraid of along the way was some accident, and now he was really inspired by the subconscious. Nearly sixty years old, he has experienced such revelations many times, and every time something unexpected happens, every time it is a harbinger of unexpected events, and he has become convinced of his experience.

Li Fangkun lay on the bed, gasping for breath. At this time, I saw Lin Xiaoman's familiar face on the round window glass at the door. Lin Xiaoman pushed the door in, stood in front of the bed and looked at him anxiously, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? Lin Xiaoman hurriedly helped Li Fangkun up from the bed, looking panicked, "Have you had a nightmare?" ”

Lin Xiaoman is Li Fangkun's student, the two have been working together for ten years, and she is always by Li Fangkun's side in her thirties, taking care of him meticulously. "Drink some water...... Lin Xiaoman threw the fax in his hand on the bed, picked up the kettle on the table and poured water into the cup.

"What is this?" Li Fangkun slowly calmed down, picked up the fax, and quickly read all the contents, "This operation belongs to the highest level of confidentiality in the company?" Can there still be leaks? ”

"There are satellites in the sky and radars on the ground, so where are the secrets?" Lin Xiaoman handed a glass of water to Li Fangkun, "When I enter the South China Sea, I am finally home, and I am safe when I enter my own home......

"Don't take it lightly, I always think something is going to happen." Li Fangkun took a sip of water, then got out of bed and put the water cup on the table, "After all, all countries in the world are staring at it, whoever owns the soil will have the future energy." ”

"I don't believe it, who would dare to run into our country's territorial waters to rob it?" Lin Xiaoman's eyes narrowed.

Li Fangkun took off his pajamas to change into a white shirt, and the silver-toothed earphones on the table made two crisp ringtones, and then a holographic projection appeared, it was Li Fangkun's wife, who was sitting on the sofa at home, "Old thing, let's have a good time with the fox spirit outside, never go back to this home......"

Li Fangkun immediately reached out and turned on the silver tooth ear, and continued to unbutton the pajamas. Li Fangkun's wife is an ordinary housewife, the level of education is not high, when Li Fangkun was young, he often went to a bar, and he met the hostess, and the two became more and more familiar with each other over time, and then once Li Fangkun got drunk, and when he woke up the next day, he saw the hostess sleeping with him. Afterwards, the hostess claimed that she was pregnant, and Li Fangkun had no choice but to marry her.

After a few years of marriage, it was quite happy, in addition to the lack of culture and communication, the hostess was still very considerate to Li Fangkun, and had a son in the future. Since Li Fangkun and Lin Xiaoman had a relationship, his wife began to change, becoming a very unreasonable shrew, going to Li Fangkun's unit twice in three days to make trouble, Li Fangkun couldn't bear it anymore and decided to divorce her, but she didn't expect that she didn't know what the relationship was, and she actually got a diagnosis of schizophrenia, which completely dispelled Li Fangkun's idea of divorce, after all, in this case, the court would not support their divorce.

In those years, the waitress went to the Institute of Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, where Li Fangkun worked, every day to make trouble, and when she saw Li Fangkun talking to any woman, she would immediately rush up and fight. It made Professor Li infamous and discredited. Li Fangkun finally decided to leave the Institute of Earth Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was hired by Tianluo Mining Group with a high salary as the deputy director of the Institute of Geophysics. Lin Xiaoman then followed him to the enterprise as the chief expert of the research institute. In recent years, my son has gone abroad, and my wife has become even more unscrupulous, as if she is really suffering from mental illness and has become extremely rude and shameless.

The silver tooth headset was turned on again, and the holographic projection of his wife was falling to the ground and rolling around, "Li Fangkun, you bastard, you like the new and hate the old and are ungrateful, Lin Xiaoman, the man who robbed me must not die well......"

Li Fangkun hurriedly reached out and turned his ear off again, and turned his face to look at Lin Xiaoman. Lin Xiaoman suddenly snatched the headphones, opened them and hung them on Li Fangkun's ears, and a holographic projection of his wife immediately appeared in front of him. Lin Xiaoman threw herself into Li Fangkun's arms, and looked at Li Fangkun's wife in the projection video with a wicked smile.

Li Fangkun's wife was already having a nervous breakdown, and let out a hysterical roar, "Shameless...... Lin Xiaoman...... You don't have to die well......"

Suddenly there was a violent shaking, and Lin Xiaoman quickly stopped and looked towards the door.

"Something's wrong...... Hurry up and ......" Li Fangkun pushed Lin Xiaoman away and put clothes on his body in a panic. Lin Xiaoman also came back to his senses immediately and quickly put on his clothes. Li Fangkun turned off the headphones, and the two began to run out the door. Along the narrow corridor, the two ran all the way to the conference room, which was a large cabin next to the command room, which was used as the office of the expedition team.

The conference room was empty, Li Fangkun stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned around and saw on the upper deck of the bridge, more than a dozen experts and a few sailors of the scientific expedition team were gathered there and talking nervously. Li Fangkun and Lin Xiaoman came to the upper deck, the ship shook even more, and the two grabbed the guardrail and leaned their bodies tightly on it.

"Professor, it seems that it is a swirl caused by an earthquake on the bottom of the sea, there should be a tsun......ami," a middle-aged crew member looked at Li Fangkun.

A huge whirlwind swirled over the sea, and the steamer glided along the edge of the whirlpool with its own inertial force, and after a brief circle, the current stopped spinning in an instant, and the ship finally came to a halt and shook in the deep crests and valleys of the waves. A huge mountain of sea water suddenly rose from a distance, and instantly swooped into the sky, it was a huge wave hundreds of meters high, crushing over like a mountain and a sea.

"Professor, put on a life jacket...... a young sailor ran over from the direction of the bridge and handed the two life jackets in his hands to Li Fangkun and Lin Xiaoman.

This new marine life jacket not only floats on the water, but also has an unlimited oxygen supply capacity, and only needs to be held in the mouth with a button-sized suction nozzle on the collar. As soon as Li Fangkun and Lin Xiaoman put on their life jackets, the waves had already swept in, smashing down from the sky above the steamer, and everyone immediately grabbed the guardrail.

After the waves, Li Fangkun was the first to run to the command room, Lin Xiaoman followed behind him, and the rest of the people did not dare to stay any longer, and ran to the bridge wheelhouse together. Li Fangkun walked into the command room and collided with the captain in a hurry, and the captain quickly pulled him to a chair and sat down, looking anxious.

"Professor, where are you going to look for you for a long time......

"How? How long does it take to leave this sea? ”

"I was about to tell you, I don't know what's going on, it's so strange......"

"What the hell is going on? Say. Li Fangkun became a little anxious.

"We're on a safe route, I don't know what's going on?" The captain's face was sallow, "Why did you end up in the Devil's Triangle?" ”

"What Devil's Triangle? Shall we leave as soon as possible? Li Fangkun's face also became ugly.

"There's no way to get out...... "our ship has lost power, and the whole sea here has become a huge whirlpool, and we're about to be sucked in......"

"Help...... Xiaoman, hurry up and ask for rescue from the deuterium gas base in the South China Sea......" Li Fangkun was a little incoherent.

Since the 70s of the 20th century and 1979, there have been more than 200 cases of missing cargo ships and planes in this sea area, and each disaster not only came suddenly, but also did not leave any traces of the missing cargo ship and its crew. There was once a distress signal from the crew that received an emergency distress signal from the crew, but the signal was quickly interrupted, and the most disturbing thing was that when the rescuers arrived, the sea was calm, empty, and frighteningly calm, as if nothing had happened.

As early as more than 700 years ago, the existence of the Devil's Triangle in the South China Sea has been discovered and recorded by the ancients. In the book "Lingwai Dai Answer" written by Zhou Qufei of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was written: "In the southwest of the four counties of Hainan, the sea is crossed to the Zhihai Sea, there are three confluences, and the wave head gushes, and the diversion is three, one of which flows southward, and the passage is in the sea of the vassal countries; One of them flows north, and the seas of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang; One of them flows eastward, and it is useless. If there is no wind, the boat will not come out, and it will disintegrate in the third stream. This means that there are three confluences of the east, south, and north in the Jiaozhi Sea below the Devil's Zone in the South China Sea, and if there is no wind at sea, the waves will roll, and the ships will not be able to move forward, and the result will often lead to disaster.

Li Fangkun also studied historical books such as "Notes on the Book of Water" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and found many written historical materials that recorded the undercurrents under the South China Sea. For the study of the Devil's Triangle in the South China Sea, many countries have organized professional scientific research teams, but in the end, there is no reasonable conclusion that can convince everyone. In all the research theories, Li Fangkun thinks that the reason for the gravitational waves of celestial bodies is more reliable, and they believe that when the sun, the earth and the moon are in a line, or when the moon and the earth are in a line with a strong cosmic radio star, it can have various physical effects on the earth, which will cause the instantaneous gravitational attraction of the earth to increase. The Devil's Triangle of the South China Sea is at this gravitational point, and the huge gravitational pull has led to the shipwreckage and death.

"A distress call has been sent to the base in the South China Sea, and their rescue ship is rushing here as fast as possible......" The captain's eyes were full of anxiety, "but with such a big swirl, even if they come, I'm afraid they won't be able to get close to ......"

"Professor, General Manager Yu Youqian wants to talk to you......" Lin Xiaoman pulled Li Fangkun to his computer.

On the computer monitor, Yu Youcheng, general manager of the world's largest company, China Tianluo Mining Group, has a video of a conversation, "Lao Li, I know your situation, how is it now?" ”

Li Fangkun knew that Yu Youqian was asking about the situation of Xiyang, "Don't worry, it's in a sealed cabin, it should be safe." ”

"The rescue ship of the deuterium gas base will arrive soon, and the satellite control center of the headquarters will do everything in its power to escort you, and I have only one request, to ensure the safety of the soil." Yu Youqian still has a confident style of words and deeds.

The hull of the ship shook violently again, and Lin Xiaoman reached out to support Li Fangkun, who almost fell, "Look at ......"

Li Fangkun looked through the porthole of Cambridge and saw that in the dark cloudy sky, among the lightning and thunder, countless electric lights threw out long tongues of fire and slashed towards the monstrous waves on the sea. The ship jolted and shook in the rushing waves, and it seemed that it was about to be torn apart in an instant, and the people in the command room began to tumble and roll on the floor.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Yu is here, and I promise to live up to my mission......" Before Li Fangkun finished speaking, the contact was interrupted, and all the screens were snowflakes.

Li Fangkun and Lin Xiaoman helped each other out of the command cabin, staggered to the top deck of the bridge, grabbed the guardrail, and the huge waves hit them head-on. Lightning flew up and down in the sky, and the thunder was terrifying. In the midst of the violent tremors, a lightning spark struck the sealed cabin accurately, and the earth suddenly rose into the air, spinning rapidly, and countless flames surrounded it. In the midst of the flames, the soil suddenly disappeared, and a blood-red light instantly erupted from the depths of the seabed below, staining everything between heaven and earth, melting everything with a strong light.

After the bright light, the ship and all the people disappeared without a trace, except for the whirlpool formed by the huge current.
