Chapter 7: A Feast in the Deep Sea (No. 7) 1
Ye Kexin sat in the corner of the rear deck of the "Gelfes", watching a group of working group personnel wearing light cyan anti-corrosion overalls circling around the "egg", each holding a special tablet computer made by the Admiralty in their hands, and scrolling various data on the organic ultra-thin glass screen glowing with blue light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Very bored.
This is Ye Kexin's only mentality at the moment, she can't do anything, she can only curl up in the corner dryly, wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, her beautiful long hair is scattered behind her back, and her eyes are full of boredom.
Ye Kexin has a thick instruction manual next to him, both English and Chinese, but Ye Kexin didn't have the heart to read it, when a staff member threw this to himself before, he said that he was reviewing the operating system, don't look through it now. But Ye Kexin has memorized this thick manual, although some special English vocabulary is not too familiar, but Chinese Ye Kexin can always understand, and the operating system has also been changed to Chinese operation because the driver is Chinese, Ye Kexin has no reason not to understand.
"Hey~" Ye Kexin sighed, now she feels like a toy abandoned in the kindergarten, and the children in protective clothing are going around the "egg" in the middle, but no one wants to take the time to take a look at her doll. Glancing at the time displayed on the evening combat watch, 11:56, four minutes before the start of the operation, no wonder the staff went crazy to check.
But even now, Ye Kexin still didn't have the slightest tension in his heart, he just buried his face deep in his knees, and only showed a pair of eyes looking at the situation on the back deck.
picked up his tablet from the side, opened QQ to watch the friend list, and all the junior high and high school classmates were online, but the two avatars that Ye Kexin cared about the most were still gray, one marked as a younger sister and the other as an older brother.
Still not online, Ye Kexin is a little lost, but the unlucky bear chart of the middle and high school groups in the corner keeps flashing, and if you are idle, you are idle, so it is better to click on it and take a look.
A new pop-up window jumped open, and a call record jumped out of it, nothing more than some old words, in general, everyone hasn't seen each other for many years, how are you doing recently, whether Li ΓΓ is married, whether Han ΓΓ has found a partner, Zhang ΓΓ and his wife went abroad and played again, although there is no nutrition, but every time I look at it, it always makes Ye Kexin's heart warm, but Ye Kexin is limited to watching, and has no meaning to speak, as if the classmates in the class have forgotten this school flower, None of the topics they talked about were about her.
ββThat's fine.
Ye Kexin thought so, but there was a burst of sadness in his heart, yes, this is the best, if he doesn't live in the eyes of everyone, even if he doesn't know when he disappears, no one will think of him, and no one will notice him, what he does is like this, don't let anyone remember him, if he dies, there will be a lot of people who think that he is sad and not worth it.
In fact, Ye Kexin was not like this before, Ye Kexin was very active when he was in high school, whether it was his grade or the lower level, Ye Kexin was very famous, as the school flower recognized by the whole school, some people called him a little witch behind his back. Ye Kexin once put down his arrogance in the class, if anyone can stop in front of him in Maserati ten years later, I will marry whom, so the learning atmosphere of the whole school year has been driven, every boy wants to give it a go, this little-known second-rate high school has become a key school in the province within a year, I heard that the average score of the previous college entrance examination was only about 420 in this college entrance examination The average score was 608.5. Every day, there are always a large number of boys around Ye Kexin to send this and that, sometimes it is a pack of snacks, sometimes it is an ice cream, sometimes it is a latest comic, sometimes it is a popular novel. Ye Kexin did not refuse to accept them all, and then gave them to Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng was full of joy and thought that his sister was really good to him, but he didn't know that he had secretly become the public enemy of the boys in the school, if it weren't for Ye Kexin here, Ye Zifeng might have been beaten and even Ye's mother didn't know him.
Okay, okay, Ye Kexin admits that he will remember the past, but there will be a little warmth in his heart, but just looking at these gossips on the cold screen, his heart is really not warm, Ye Kexin is also a person, no one doesn't want to be left out in the corner all the time, even if he is ridiculed, he hopes that one day he can stand in the center of everyone's field of vision, like now, no one cares, even if he sees his avatar lit up, no one will jokingly say "Yo, the goddess is online" Such unnutritious words.
Silently looking through the call logs, the last record was sent ten minutes ago, and then the whole crowd fell silent, no one was talking, not even a nose-picking expression. Ye Kexin felt a little bored, and according to the regulations, he couldn't post remarks on the public communication screen, so Ye Kexin couldn't speak in QQ at this time.
Drip drip drip.
A series of hurried prompts sounded, Ye Kexin was startled, and a new message appeared at the bottom of the dialog box.
"Sister Kexin, are you there?" A classmate with a vest of "LOVE~Class 3-Xiaohua" said in the group.
"Not there." Ye Kexin thought about it and replied.
"It's really deceiving." The other party sent a toothy expression, "It's useless to dive, one day it will come up." β
"Really, I don't have the strength to speak right now." Ye Kexin was a little helpless, and after finishing this sentence, she sent a closed expression.
"Wow, that's ruthless." The other party seemed to be very cheap, "I haven't chatted for a long time, can you say a few more words." β
"Alright, alright." Ye Kexin said quickly, "What's the matter, just want to chat?" β
"Of course, what's wrong with chatting, anyway, there's nothing going on right now, during the lunch break, except that some people are tired of being with close friends."
"No, you've found out." An avatar is an elephant, and the vest is sent by the person who "LOVE~Sanban-Elephant".
"What's this? Toes are all in mind. Xiaohua, who spoke before, had a look of contempt, and then said to Ye Kexin, "What is Sister Kexin doing now?" β
"Me." Ye Kexin thought about it after sending it, "I'm going to dive later." β
"Diving?" Xiaohua made a puzzled expression, "What dive?" Sister Kexin in Hawaii? β
"Not Hawaii." Ye Kexin made a diving expression, "I'm in Guam." β
"Guam, what is Guam?" Ma Jia spoke for the students of "LOVE~3 Class - Piggy", "I heard that Guam is next to Saipan. β
"Then you're still pretending to be stupid." "LOVE~3 Class - Dragonfly" said, "Guam is close to the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world. β
"yes, I'm popularizing science." "LOVE~3 Class-Lady" jumped out, "But is there anyone there?" Is the scenery beautiful? I really want to go, too. β
"It's beautiful." Ye Kexin replied, and then put a photo of the scenery taken when he first arrived in Guam on the first day, "How about it, the technique is good." β
"Not bad, not bad. Beautiful! "Piggy" said, "But I heard that I can't go now." β
"Why?" The elephant asked, "What's going on?" I just wanted to travel there. β
"You want to go anywhere." "Piggy" said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, I heard that it has been designated as a temporary air traffic control area, and it was released at five o'clock this morning, have you read Tencent News?" "Little Flower" explained.
"Sister Kexin, what's the matter, aren't you in Guam?" "Lady" asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I was kicked out in the morning, and I left in a hurry, but the travel agency refunded the rest of the tour fee." Ye Kexin said.
"That's right, but what's going on?" "Elephant" looked a little relieved, "Then what is the official response, why set up a temporary air traffic control area?" β
"It was said that a naval battle was going to be held, and only target planes could enter that airspace." "Piggy" responded.
"Yes." "Elephant" looked a little surprised, "So it's a military exercise, but why is it so sudden?" β
"I said, are you a hundred thousand why?" "Xiaohua" quit, "It's obvious that I'm talking to Sister Kexin, what do you say." β
"I was wrong, Sister Ling." The "elephant" immediately begged for mercy.
"Okay, okay, Aiqing, let's be flat, I will spare you from dying." "Piggy" said teasingly.
"You're looking for death!" The "elephant" let out an angry expression.
Ye Kexin quietly watched the constantly refreshing dialogue on the screen, and let out a chuckle from time to time.
"Ye Kexin is dying." A vest that he had never seen before suddenly measured, but only for a moment, after he said this, the vest darkened again.
The originally lively QQ group suddenly fell silent, and Ye Kexin in front of the screen also frowned at this message. Pull the list of group members to find the person who is speaking. "In the dark" How is it a strange vest, Ye Kexin looked at it and called up the member information, nothing was shown, the age was spoofed at zero years old, and the rest of the place was blank, and the personality signature of "in the dark" was: I'm from the dark.
"I'm from the darkness." Ye Kexin muttered softly, and a chill arose from the bottom of her heart.
"Who is this, how are you talking nonsense!" "Little Flower" scolded.
"What about the Administrator, when did you add him?" The "elephant" also pandered to the "little flower" and made a statement.
"It's being investigated, but there should be no results." Administrator "Piggy" responded, "He added it himself. β
"Delete him." "Little Flower" said indignantly.
"It's been deleted." "Piggy" sent an angry expression, "Sister Kexin, don't care, someone should have hacked QQ and rushed in." β
"It's fine." Ye Kexin trembled and said, "I'm really dying." β
Ye Kexin withdrew from QQ, and Ye Kexin was reluctant to look at the conversation after that, the tablet slid to the side, making a clicking sound, and several working group members who passed by Ye Kexin looked at Ye Kexin, with a puzzled expression on their faces.
Ye Kexin picked up the heavy instruction manual, turned to one of the pages, and pretended to look like it, but a lot of water beads had accumulated in the corners of her eyes.
- Am I dying?
Ye Kexin was cranky, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, but Ye Kexin didn't know it.
There were two clear tears on the English writing, Ye Kexin began to cry silently, and the tears of the bean kept hitting the writing, as if it was raining, and there was no sign of stopping for a while.
- Xiao Fengfeng hasn't woken up yet, Xia Lu doesn't know where he is now, the closest person on the whole ship is a colleague, even Feng Fengxiang didn't follow, Ye Kexin wants to confide in people The loneliness and fear in his heart are nowhere to be found, he seems to be really isolated from the world, and it is as difficult as flying out of the galaxy to find someone who can talk to him.
"Sir, did you hear me?" Captain Regan's voice came from the earphones, Ye Kexin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, regained his spirit, and forcibly suppressed the loneliness and fear in his heart.
"The voice is clear, Mr. Captain." Ye Kexin stood up and stretched her somewhat loose body, the red tight-fitting combat suit was tightly wrapped around her body, and the built-in thermoregulation system did not make Ye Kexin feel a trace of stuffiness, but was as cool as autumn.
"The mission is on, sir." Captain Reagan reminded. Sure enough, all the staff who were still around the "eggs" had retreated behind the explosion-proof curtain wall in the hangar, and only themselves were left on the deck after consolidation.
"I see, let's get in." Ye Kexin nodded, trying to pretend to be calm, "Can I bring the computer in?" Or bring a book? β
"No problem, sir. The deep dive takes almost an hour, during which time the computer will handle it on its own, so there is no need for manual operation. Captain Reagan readily agreed, "But be careful, when the Zegrin vehicle leaves the cabin, be sure to turn off the power of all external electrical appliances, as the microwaves in the deep sea will completely destroy the unprotected instruments." β
"I see." Ye Kexin picked up the tablet on the ground and walked towards the "egg", the long hair behind her back fluttering gently in the breeze on the Mariana trench.
"This is the last call, sir, and the communications will be taken over by the Guam Special Tactics Command Center and Research Institute, and I will not be involved in the command group." Captain Reagan spoke again, "Good luck, sir. β
"Thank you, Captain." Ye Kexin nodded slightly, the hatch under the "egg" slowly opened, Ye Kexin got into it lightly, and the automatic anti-pressure door then closed tightly.
"The oxygen supply system was activated, and the oxygen supply was not abnormal." The working group began to get busy, "The last comprehensive self-test before the start was normal, and all the equipment was functional. β
"The mains power connection is complete."
The indicator light on the outside of the "egg" flickered for a while, and finally became a constant state, and the inside of the "egg" also lit up, the only porthole became a blackout mode, and the orange light mask bounced back all the sunlight outside, but the white light inside the "egg" illuminated the "egg" as if it were day.
"The main power supply is turned on normally, the capacitor bank is not abnormal, and the self-provided power supply is charged normally."
"There is no abnormality in the communication, and the 'egg' can be turned on at any time."
"Ye Kexin, can you hear it?" Feng Fengxiang's voice sounded in the "egg".
"Hear me clearly, Mr. Feng." Ye Kexin responded.
"I'm very relieved to hear that you are back to normal, and I will activate the 'egg' in tens of seconds, and the diving team will carry it out for you." Feng Fengxiang gave an order.
"I see." Ye Kexin replied, "The 'egg' of the deep submersible starts for dozens of seconds, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, the console is running without abnormality, and the 'egg' is about to start." β
Ye Kexin took a deep breath.
"Start!"
"The 'Egg' has been activated." The staff of the working group shouted, "Extend the submersible out of the hull, the second stage bolt is unlocked, and the first stage bolt is unlocked." β
"The 'egg' has reached 23 percent of the operating power, and it has the ability to withstand pressure at 900 meters, the winch is unlocked, the steel cable is released, and the deep submersible begins to dive."
The huge winch began to spin again, and the rumbling motor was deafening.
"There is no abnormality in the system self-test, the operation of various functions is completed, and there is no abnormality in all connection points." Ye Kexin checked the values on the screen according to the instructions on the manual, "The deep submersible has reached its best condition, and the adaptive pressure has gradually increased, reaching 58 percent, and it is expected to reach its peak in ten minutes." β
"Good." Feng Fengxiang's voice came, "The working group has been connected to the communication channel, and can be asked at any time in case of emergency." β
"I see." Ye Kexin nodded, "Team leader, can you hear me?" β
"The voice is clear, sir." The person in charge of the working group stood behind the operation table, looking at the audio and video pictures that kept beating on the screen, "This is the emergency response team of the working group, ready to solve problems for you." β
"Thank you so much." Ye Kexin thanked him, "The deep submersible has entered the water and is currently diving, and the computer budget will reach a depth of 100 meters in five minutes." β
"It's four minutes and forty-two seconds, sir." The person in charge opened his mouth to correct Ye Kexin's mistake, "Every second is very important to us, so don't ignore the importance of seconds." β
"I'll remember, thank you, team leader." Ye Kexin sat back on the ground covered with memory foam pads and took off his tablet from the machine on the side, "Team leader, is there a network signal here?" β
"Yes." The team leader quickly replied, "The network signal has a communication line connected to the deep submersible, and there is a blue network cable on the bulkhead, can the commander see it?" β
