South China Sea region

The sky was covered with scorched clouds of broken cotton wool, crowded together in layers, and a trace of moonlight could not be revealed, and a small fishing boat was speeding towards the west on the entire undulating sea.

"Brother Wenxiong, what should I do? Isn't it too late? ”

Inside the cabin, Wu Boyou, who was only 17 years old, looked at the wind outside the cabin that began to grow stronger with a pale face, and his voice couldn't stop trembling.

"Don't panic, we'll have time to hurry." Ruan Wenxiong's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, if he hadn't insisted on sailing, such a thing would not have happened.

"We're dead." Ruan Van Hung's words did not comfort Wu Bochang on the side, his courage was obviously smaller than that of his younger brother, and a panicked look appeared on his face, and he almost didn't yell.

"I said, don't panic!" Ruan Wenxiong said in a deep voice, "Uncle friend, you go outside to take a look, has the motor been repaired?" ”

Wu Boyou nodded, walked out and shivered, the cold rain mixed with the wind whistled from the distant sky, hitting the skin and causing a chill, Wu Boyou did not dare to delay time, and hurriedly walked to the back of the boat. When they came to the cabin below, they found two companions sweating profusely, and they were hurrying to repair the damaged motor with tools.

"Brother Zhengcheng, Uncle Yuanshan, how long will it take to repair it?"

Chen Zhengcheng and Li Yuanshan looked back, it turned out to be Wu Boyou, the youngest crew member on the ship, the expressions of the two were ugly, and Li Yuanshan, who was in his fifties, sighed: "No, there is a serious short circuit inside, and I am afraid that it will not be repaired in a short time." ”

"What then?" Wu Boyou trembled with fright, they had been delayed for such a long time, and a typhoon was coming in a few minutes, how could this fishing boat be able to withstand a 13-level typhoon at that time?

"Damn, if you don't fix it, we'll wait here to die!"

Chen Zhengcheng suddenly threw away the tool and said loudly and angrily.

"Ah, Zhengcheng you ......" Li Yuanshan can do nothing but sigh, anyway, this kind of thing is also very common, there are not a few fishing boats that are wrecked by typhoons in Vietnam every year, even if they all die here, maybe they can't even be on the news.

"Bang!"

Just when the three of them were flustered, the fishing boat suddenly began to shake violently, and the three of them suddenly couldn't stand on their feet, and hurriedly held on to the support.

"What's going on?" Wu Boyou was frightened.

"Let's go out and have a look."

Li Yuanshan took the lead, and when he walked out of the cabin, he saw that the sky was dark and chaotic, and the torrential rain and wind were slanting down like a waterfall, and the wind and rain were mixed together, like dense bullets crackling and shooting wildly, and the impact on people's faces was like needles and stinging. The wind swept wildly across the mast, on the sluggers, and on the telegraph antenna, and the whole fishing boat could not make even the slightest gesture of resistance, and when it was hit by the sea swept by the strong wind, the fishing boat leaned over, and made a muffled creaking sound.

As soon as Wu Boyou, who came out of "Uncle Yuanshan......", opened his mouth, he was flooded by the wind and rain, choked a few mouthfuls, and was almost thrown down by the tilted fishing boat.

"Go back, go back!"

Li Yuanshan has a lot of experience, and he knows that a typhoon is coming, and at a wind speed of nearly 40 meters per second, even if they repair the motor now, they don't want to escape from the pursuit of the typhoon.

"What's that?" Chen Zhengcheng didn't listen to Li Yuanshan's shout, but barely supported his body, staring at the sky in the distance and shouting.

"What?" Li Yuanshan followed Chen Zhengcheng's line of sight, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a black shadow suspended in the air forty or fifty meters away from them.

Li Yuanshan opened his mouth and was about to say something, when a wave rushed in, the fishing boat shook violently, and he didn't pay attention to it, and immediately flew out like a ball and planted directly into the cabin.

"Wonsan!" Chen Zhengcheng screamed, and the inverted seawater slapped on his face, interrupting his next move, and the whole person slipped to the ground with a "bang".

Wu Boyou looked at everything in horror, he didn't know what would happen next, would he still be able to live? He opened his mouth, and the waves splashed up the bow of the ship, and the boundless darkness immediately overshadowed all vision.

Luo Xu, who was sitting on the Falcon 2, looked at the screen on the left, and the enlarged image showed that a fishing boat was undulating in the waves more than ten meters high, and if there was no accident, the ship would have sunk in a few minutes due to the ensuing typhoon.

"Vietnamese?"

The sign on the ship showed that it was a Vietnamese fishing boat, and Luo Xu touched his chin, if it was in the spirit of humanitarianism, then he should have helped the people on this boat, but according to the current situation, Luo Xu could only wish them good luck.

The longitude and latitude address on the map is nearby, Luo Xu controlled the fighter plane and flew towards the target direction, the maximum wind near the center of the No. 19 strong tropical storm "Usagi" typhoon was as high as 13, and there were also eight strong winds near the edge, and the neuronal fighter did not dare to forcibly levitate on the sea surface in such weather, so he must arrive at the destination as soon as possible and could not delay time.

However, such a typhoon also has the advantage, that is, all ships, warships and planes cannot pass nearby, and no matter what he does, he does not have to worry about others finding out.

The speed of the fighter is so fast, but it came to the destination twenty meters above the destination in ten seconds, the rough sea and the wind that has passed level 7 make the fighter need to increase the output power to suspend stably, Luo Xu no longer delayed, opened the hatch, got up and jumped out wearing X2, the armored thruster on the back automatically opened, and the high-energy electron stream released by the β decay was immediately sprayed out, steadily supporting Luo Xu and the fighter to suspend in the air parallelly.

The hand position armor of the right arm was opened, Luo Xu took the cube and turned on the light film, and the Poseidon deep submersible waiting for the other side was pushed out of the light film, and it squeaked and fell into the sea, smashing up a large wave.

Waving his hand to the fighter, the Falcon 2 automatically flew high into the air under Bob's control, without saying much from Loxu, where it would lurk and wait for Losch's return.

The location of the cube is at the bottom of this sea area, the depth is close to four thousand meters, except for the deep submersible, no submersible can approach this depth, Luo Xu waited for more than ten days, until Bob finished building the Poseidon deep submersible, and then came to the South China Sea to salvage the cube.

The Poseidon submersible is made of maragingsteel, which has a strength-to-weight ratio that is 10% higher than titanium, containing about 30% cobalt and small amounts of nickel, chromium and titanium. The whole body is 8.8 meters long, 4.5 meters wide, weighs 25,400 kilograms, has three viewing windows, the front window diameter is 35 cm, and the two side windows are 20 cm in diameter.

The power is provided by a 1,100 kWh nuclear battery, and the electric motor drives the hydraulic pump to power the hydraulic deep-sea manipulator and two thrusters, with a maximum underwater speed of 20 knots. In Bob's test, Poseidon could theoretically dive to a depth of 35,800 meters, and successfully passed the 12,000-meter water pressure test in the ocean, so the depth of 4,000 meters in this place is a piece of cake for Poseidon without any problems.

Luo Xu is full of interest and is full of interest in the upcoming deep dive, on the one hand, because he has never tried it, on the other hand, it is also difficult to enjoy, yes, for Luo Xu, the unknown and adventure are always the places he is most interested in, nothing can be compared, but this often also means a certain degree of life danger. This seems to be a contradiction with his surname of "afraid of death", in fact, Luo Xu's "fear of death" does not mean timid, on the contrary, his courage is much greater than that of ordinary people, and he dares to do what ordinary people dare not do, his "fear of death" is to have more life to enjoy his hobbies, not simply to live for the sake of living, what is the meaning of such a cautious life?

As long as a certain safety can be ensured, Luo Xu has the courage to try, and he also plans to try various extreme sports such as skydiving, cliff climbing, and polar survival in the future.

Entering the Poseidon and sitting down, the various instruments in front of him were activated, the smooth screen lit up, Luo Xu opened the ballast valve, and the Poseidon deep submersible gradually sank into the churning and undulating waves.

"Life support system activated!"

"The target plan is to reach the bottom of the sea in forty minutes, three hours of search time, one hour to surface, and confirm!"

The plan was formulated, the Poseidon quickly dived and entered the deep underwater world, only more than 20 meters down, the wind and waves on the sea surface had no effect on it, the depth of the dive was 50 meters, all the sounds were silent, and the world outside the window was dark except for a darkness.

The numbers on the depth gauge changed rapidly, and soon they entered a water depth of hundreds of meters, and the searchlight suddenly turned on, opening up a passage of light in the dark space, and a school of colorful fish leisurely swam past the Poseidon and slowly disappeared into the distance.

Luo Xu retracted his gaze through the porthole, tapped the screen, and the inside of the cabin suddenly played with elegant pure music, which was really a strange scene with the scene outside.

His luck is not bad, the depth of 4000 meters is at least not too amazing, if it falls into the submarine cliff or submarine volcano, it is called bad luck, at least for now, his salvage plan should not be unexpected, if everything goes well, he will surface in two hours and successfully get the cube that fell on the bottom of the sea.
