244, the gates of hell
Sun Meiru adjusted the picture to several modes such as black and white, heat, etc., and watched it repeatedly, and it was certain that the drone disappeared out of thin air.
After a long while, Xie Lingyan remembered Sun Meiru's words just now, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Sun, you said, it's not the first time you've encountered this kind of thing, what happened before?" ”
Sun Meiru nodded at Xie Lingyan, and turned to look at Sun Yaoru solemnly.
"It's Zhong'an's time."
"Zhong'an?" Hearing this name, Sun Yaoru looked a little uneasy, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "What happened back then, is there another hidden secret?" ”
"......" Sun Meiru nodded sadly.
"You're afraid I'll blame myself too much, that's why—"
"Big brother, don't mention these again, I know that you have always treated Zhong An as your own son, it's just that human life is too small and fragile in front of nature."
"Say, no matter what happened at the time, I was willing to bear it, at least, you should let me bear it with you."
"Big brother, don't think so, it's not anyone's fault, in my opinion, whether it's life or death, it's just the way we get along with the world, do you know why every time the company organizes a space trip, I don't want to go?"
“……”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I can't withstand that immensity of power, that the whole universe is just before you, one planet, two planets, even countless distant stars, which do nothing and yet can do anything."
“……”
"I remember at the beginning, I didn't know everyone well, four or five of us, locked ourselves in a small submersible, and just sank like that, and when we sank, we could still see the light and see the fish swimming around, until later, it was dark, but we could still feel something, slowly swimming past us."
“……”
"Next, there is the real silence, the darkness of death, the silence of death, but we are still sinking, and sometimes I can't help but wonder if the depths of the sea are the entrance to hell, hehe."
“……”
Sun Meiru was completely immersed in her emotions and memories, but no one could bear to disturb him. Everyone had already guessed that he was going to tell a sad story.
"It wasn't until our deep-sea submersible slammed into the rocks of the bottom of the sea, or sunk into a cloud of silt, that we kept hanging our hearts and let go, and sometimes I felt that my eyes could see through the darkness thousands of meters deep, and look through the entire infinite ocean, and I was just a tiny human being sunk in the bottom of the sea."
“……”
"That deep fear is like a pair of huge cold and hard hands, tightly choking every cell of us, even if we are a little angry, we will be crushed by those giant hands."
“……”
"What are we, human beings, who claim to be intelligent beings, in the presence of the sea and the vast stars?"
“……”
"We worked so hard, after millions of years of evolution, to finally land on the moon, build a celestial orbit in the sky, even fantasize about being able to immigrate on Mars, and used the most advanced equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars to dive to the bottom of the sea, where we carefully exploited the oil, gas and ore there."
“……”
"What's the difference between this and a group of ants, in the grass in the sky, finding a dying bug, a group of ants, mighty, carrying the worm through the manipulation, through the water stains on the ground, through a big rock......"
“……”
"Where there is any greatness and nobility, where there is any mystery and meaning of life and death, is to live, is to forage, is to build a nest, is to find some firewood for heating, but sometimes it will be successful, sometimes it is unlucky, and it is trampled to death by passing cattle and sheep."
“……”
"Ah, I'm really sorry, I digressed," Sun Meiru smiled awkwardly, he looked at Sun Yaoru, at least he listened to his own feelings, the eldest brother was no longer so guilty and self-blaming, "Get down to business, get down to business." ”
Because Wei Qingyun and others were there, I was afraid that they wouldn't know the ins and outs, so Sun Meiru probably introduced the situation at that time.
Five years ago, near Antarctica, they discovered a suspected metal mine through an ocean exploration satellite, and after further offshore exploration, it was found that it is rich in a large amount of platinum ore, as well as several scarce elements, which are important aerospace materials.
With the development of space exploration programs in various countries, aerospace materials are very scarce and of course more valuable.
At that time, it was winter in Antarctica, the weather conditions were very harsh, and the magnetic field in that area was also very chaotic, and many equipment failed intermittently.
In order to be able to seize the development opportunity, Sun Yaoru ignored Sun Meiru's opposition and insisted that they carry out deep diving exploration.
Sun Zhong'an, that is, Sun Meiru's eldest son, inherited his father's business and served as a deep diver in his father's team.
He has a good relationship with Sun Yaoru, like father and son, and has always regarded Sun Yaoru as an idol.
The uncle spoke, and the young and vigorous Sun Zhongan was naturally enthusiastic and actively executed, and in order to get into the water, he also quarreled with Sun Meiru.
As a result, not long after launching, Sun Zhongan's deep submersible completely lost contact.
To say that people have no selfishness, it would be too fake, something happened to his own son, and the father couldn't wait to die for him.
Sun Meiru sent two deep submersibles one after another to find Sun Zhong'an's whereabouts, but they were all gone and completely lost their traces.
Not to mention that human life is priceless, the three deep submersibles alone are worth more than a billion yuan.
In the end, Sun Meiru had to dive in person, and within the safety range calculated before, she patrolled around, but could not find the slightest clue at all.
Sun Meiru had to give up the rescue and go ashore and report to Sun Yaoru, who finally gave up the seabed deposit.
At that time, Sun Meiru reported that the three deep submersibles encountered an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea, were swept into the quicksand of the seabed, and could not be rescued at all.
"Actually, at that time, we didn't encounter any undercurrents and quicksand at the bottom of the sea, but, rather, it opened the gates of hell."
“……”
Gates of Hell?
Everyone couldn't believe their ears a little, looking at Sun Meiru's reaction just now, there was already some chatter, it couldn't be that he remembered his son's death, something was wrong with his spirit, right?
"Okay, you don't have to look at me like that, I'm not crazy, I know that no one will believe this kind of thing."
Sun Meiru suddenly stood up and startled everyone, "You wait for me, I'll go get something." ”
After speaking, he shook the door without looking back. Sun Zhongwen saw it, and hurriedly followed with his hind feet.
Sun Meiru came back with a small box, which was a small personal lockbox.
I saw that he took out a memory card from the inside with great caution and pasted it on the back of his mobile phone.
Inside is a folder - "2032 Antarctic NH002-1 Exploration Record".
Open the file, which is a series of Word documents, survey reports, and several videos.
Sun Meiru clicked on one of the videos - it seems that he often watches this video.
It's an edited ten, less than a minute long.
A round, bright yellow submersible slowly moves forward on the ocean floor - this image is captured by the submersible's own follow-up camera.
In order to ensure the safety of the submersible and monitor the surrounding situation of the submersible, at the tail end of the submersible, there is a long tail-like chain - equipped with a camera on it, which can shoot the entire submersible on the bottom of the sea.
The magnetic field in this sea area is extremely chaotic, and the smart camcorder is disturbed, and the picture will become a cloud of noise from time to time.
However, the occasional clear picture shows that the bottom of the sea is very desolate, with only soothing uplifts and hills.
The submersible's lighting system has two groups, one is responsible for illuminating the 20-meter range around the submersible, and the other is a total of eight searchlights in the front, back, left and right, so that even in the dark seabed, you can see 150 meters away.
Unlike the drone's disappearance out of thin air, this time the camera captured a ripple-like vibration.
The whole picture seems to have suddenly turned around and changed the scene, because of the strong noise, the picture is very unclear at that moment, but it vaguely seems to have captured some behemoth.
Then, in front of the submersible, a huge cavity suddenly appeared, engulfing the submersible, which was 11 meters in diameter, along with the follow-up camera.
