Although the volume and mass of the submersible are much larger than that of probes or even engineering robots, they have a lot of experience in seabed mining, so they have no effort to clean the submersible from the deep mud on the seabed. Connected to the pontoons prepared in advance, the heavy submersible, which was made entirely of metal, began to float smoothly and slowly towards the surface of the sea. In the process of cleaning and attaching the pontoons, Atlas also had the probe perform a more detailed inspection of the entire submersible.

"Brother Captain, it can already be determined that the life signal comes from the inside of the submersible." At this time, the little girl's mood had already returned to normal, and she seriously reported to Zhou Xin, "There must be some kind of life form in it that we can't be sure of yet." ”

"Could it be an accidental intrusion of sea creatures?" Spred began to think about it when Atlas first reported signs of life, and asked, "After all, it's the habit of those sea creatures to use this kind of hiding place as their habitat. ”

"Not to mention that this submersible only became what it is in the middle of the battle, and it is almost impossible for sea creatures to settle in it so quickly in just a few hours." The little girl replied, "Even if one or two sea creatures do slip in, they should be disturbed by the commotion we made just now." What's more, Brother Spred, don't look at the surface of this submersible has been quite seriously damaged, but after a detailed inspection by the probe, people found that there were no obvious internal scars on it, maybe the inside of this submersible is still intact until now. ”

"According to what you said, doesn't that mean that the probability of someone in there has greatly increased?" Zhou Xin confirmed, that is, there was no longer the previous excitement in his words, and then he asked, "Can you judge the current situation of the people inside?" ”

"Uh- Captain, you also know that the life signal detected by the probe is quite weak." Atlas first gave a less optimistic answer, but then her answer still gave Zhou Xin some comfort, "However, since the probe discovered the life signals, those signals have not become weaker. Based on this, it is judged that although the life inside the submersible may have suffered heavy damage in the previous battle, its injuries should not have deteriorated further for the time being. ”

"Even if it doesn't continue to deteriorate, the situation won't get much better." At this time, Zhou Xin had already called up the life signal received by the probe, and looked at the curve in the screen that was not obvious even after being magnified, and he said, "The submersible must be salvaged as soon as possible to treat the wounded inside." ”

"Even if people want to, they can't be fast." The little girl had a look of embarrassment on her face, "The submersible with life in it was salvaged from such a deep seabed, and it is not sure whether there is any damage to the outside connection between the inside and the outside, so people must prevent the damage caused by rapid decompression to the life forms inside." Otherwise, if the people inside die for this reason, even if the injuries are aggravated, it will be irreparable. ”

"Indeed." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "Since this is the case, let's salvage the submersible as soon as possible under the condition of following the steps." ”

While the submersible in the sea was slowly rising, inside the submersible -

"Captain, it seems that these Sakincha are trying to take us up there." Looking at the dwindling number on the panel beside her, the woman asked curiously.

"Great, since I was born, I haven't been to the surface of the tower." At this time, Mondcombe had long since lost the nervousness of falling into the hands of the enemy before, but said excitedly, "I've only heard about it or seen it in the film before, but this time I was finally able to go up and see it for myself." Not only him, but among the five people now, except for the captain who was still frowning at the unknown fate they would face next, the woman, Pafro, and even Mo, who rarely had mood swings, had a yearning expression on their faces.

"Look, look at it, there's nothing around that glows, but it's all lit up." Mondcombe continued to exclaim in surprise, "This must be the light of the tower mentioned in the film, it's getting brighter and brighter, we're almost on the surface of the tower." Look, what's that moving? ”

Mondcombe's continuous exclamations brought the captain back to his senses, and with a long sigh, he said, "For the first time after I'm afraid it's been a disaster, we're going back to the surface of the tower." I wonder what has become of it now? After all this time, will we still be able to adapt to the environment? ”

"Isn't it possible, isn't the environment in our ark arranged according to the environment on the surface of the previous tower repair?" The woman asked.

"That's the same old environment." The captain replied worriedly, "After that disaster, I don't know if the surface environment of the tower has changed. ”

"Stopped." At this time, a word suddenly spit out of Mo's mouth. At first, the others didn't know what that meant, and they all looked at Mo with puzzled eyes. Under the guidance of his gaze, the four of them turned their attention to the depth gauge.

"Strange, why did you stop?" Looking at the numbers on it, the captain whispered to himself in confusion, "Are they just going to bring us here, and don't intend to send us to the surface?" According to the records in the data, weren't their bases always built in the sky? ”

"Captain, what's the information?" Although the captain's voice was not loud, it was still heard by Mondcombe, and he asked curiously.

"Nothing." The captain shook his head perfunctorily, and as he said that, he turned his gaze back to the badly damaged screen.

In the captain's confusion, the boat stayed in place for a few minutes, and then continued to rise. But it didn't take long for it to stop again, which couldn't help but increase the doubts in the captain's heart a lot. Compared to his doubts, the Voyager's mood was very agitated at this time, and his worries could not be dispelled until he saw with his own eyes the life represented by the faint signal in the submersible. In the midst of such different emotions inside and outside, the submarine floated and stopped, and it took more than an hour to slowly float to the surface......
