PS: Please make the first decision, thank you book friends.

Seeing this, Gao Chao thought about whether this was the power of the boat, so he continued to paddle down, wanting to go over and take a good look.

However, this stroke really surprised him, and he saw it clearly when he got closer, but he didn't expect that in that round hole, there was a thigh-thick metal chain, which was tightly stretched at the bottom of the water at the moment, and one end of the chain came out of the hole in the bottom of the boat, and the other end was tense and stretched far back, and there was no end in sight.

At this moment, with the sound of drums, the chain seemed to be trembling, and the machinery in the hull seemed to be twisting this chain.

But Gao Chao felt that it was not right, if this was the case, then why didn't the ship go back, you must know that such a long chain was dragged at the stern, then once the ship lost power, it would definitely be dragged back by the weight of the chain itself, and the ship would definitely go back, so after thinking about it, Gao Chao felt that this was not very reasonable.

But after thinking about it, Gao Chao was already a little out of breath, so he was going to float up first to catch his breath, but just as he was stretching his body and preparing to float, he suddenly noticed the direction of the bottom of the water, as if there were some white objects, but those objects seemed to be just floating not far under the hull, but he couldn't see that they were moving, and because Gao Chao was not wearing diving goggles at the moment, he couldn't see those objects clearly at all. What the hell is it?

At this time, Gao Chao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he quickly kicked into the water. With a stroke of his hand, with the buoyancy of the air in his lungs, the whole person quickly floated upward, and in a short time, Gao Chao's head was already emerging from the water.

At this time, the fat man saw Gao Chao, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Gao, why is it so long." I thought you had an accident. ”

Gao Chao took a few deep breaths and gasped for a while before scolding: "Get out!" Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths. Are you expecting something to happen to me? ”

The fat man grinned and said with a smile: "How can it? Captain Gao's skills are comprehensive, how could something happen? ”

At this time, Xia Qing stopped beating the drum and walked over from the bow of the boat. Standing on the deck, he looked at Gao Chao and said, "How is it?" Did you find out where the fault was? ”

Superb swim on the water. Shaking his head, he said: "I don't see anything wrong, I just see a very thick chain sticking out of the stern of the boat, and the other side stretches far away, and I can't see the end at all." ”

Xia Qing carried the gun on his back and thought for a while: "If there is a chain in the back, will there be one in front of it?" ”

Gao Chao didn't understand what Xia Qing meant, and wondered: "If there are chains in the front and back, then how can this ship move?" ”

Xia Qing said: "If this chain is always there." And it's not tethered to the bow and stern, it's just passed through the hull. Then it's entirely possible. ”

Gao Chao thought for a moment and said, "You mean, this chain is like the rails of a train, it passes through the hull of the ship, and there are certain mechanisms in the hull that twist this chain, so as to get the power to keep the ship moving along this chain." ”

"It should be like this...... Xia Qing nodded, and continued with some embarrassment: "Lao Gao, or ...... If you don't work harder and swim to the front, if there's a chain in front of you, then you're pretty sure of our guess. ”

Gao Chao glanced at Xia Qing helplessly, he didn't seem to have a choice.

So Gao Chao swam from the stern to the bow of the boat, and then he took a few deep breaths, and a fierce man, dived again.

The hull at the bow of the boat has a steeper slope inward, and the diving is so high that you have to stick to the hull as much as possible, which also increases the difficulty of diving.

But when he approached the bottom of the bow, he finally saw clearly, and sure enough, Xia Qing guessed correctly, just at the bottom of the hull, there was also a circular hole, and there was also a chain through the hole, extending far forward.

Gao Chao looked at this chain and felt that Xia Qing's judgment was correct, it seemed that this chain was a track that existed on the bottom of the sea, and this ship was on this track, and it was driven by some kind of mechanism inside the hull to move along this chain.

But at this moment, what is wrong, why is the ship not moving, is it because of the machinery inside the hull? Gao Chao tugged at the chain underwater, he felt that there was nothing strange about it, after all, this bronze ship had existed for three or four thousand years, and now it was a miracle that it could go so far, how could it be expected to continue like this, if he broke down in deeper waters, wouldn't it be even more troublesome than now.

When Gao Chao was thinking wildly, the drum beat sounded again, which really startled Gao Chao, he secretly scolded the fat man and Xia Qing, and he didn't send a signal for them to beat the drum, why did they suddenly come like this.

However, Gao Chao listened to the bursts of drums, but he didn't feel quite right, just because the frequency of this drum beating was very high, much faster than the rhythm of Xia Qing's drumming before, it sounded like it should be two people beating together, and the rhythm of the beating was very anxious, as if he couldn't wait to let the ship start again.

Gao Chao was feeling strange when the chain he held in his hand began to vibrate again, and this tremor was completely transmitted by the internal mechanism of the hull.

So Gao Chao pointed his headlamp at the hole in the hull, and he grabbed the chain, and little by little he approached it, trying to see if the problem was in the hole.

Gao Chao had been keeping his eyes open under the water, but because he didn't have diving goggles, his vision was really bad, and he didn't see clearly until he was less than a meter away from the hole, and it seemed that there was indeed a white thing stuck there.

But looking at it this way, the white thing is like a huge plastic bag, it tightly wraps the chain, and the whole hole is tightly blocked.

So he reached out and tried to tear the big plastic bag open to see if it had caused the ship to lose power.

But as soon as Gao Chao touched the white thing, he felt that the hand was not quite right, the white thing was very hard and slippery, he grabbed a handful, but he didn't catch it, and he saw in a trance that the white thing seemed to have suddenly shrunk, and it seemed to be a living thing.

Gao Chao couldn't help but be surprised, he felt that something was wrong, could it be that this thing was still a creature under the sea? (To be continued.) )
