Chapter 83: The Deep Sea (Part II)
Dive to a depth of 550 meters!
Luo Xu took a deep breath, the outside environment seemed to be darker than before, reaching this depth, there were no active creatures in the range of the two searchlights, except for the dense white points of light - the suspended matter in the water.
The silence of this layered environment is a little terrifying, even evil-like silence, as Luo Xu, who came to such a depth for the first time, obviously there is no danger, but he can't help but feel an urge to "suffocate", accompanied by a feeling of tension and excitement, indescribably comfortable.
Continuing to descend, the deep submersible suddenly trembled, and Luo Xu looked at the screen prompt, it turned out that he had just entered a submarine undercurrent with different salinity and temperature, which caused the Poseidon to tilt slightly, but it quickly regained its direction under the automatic control of the computer.
"Hey, sure enough, the underwater world is not as beautiful as in the documentary."
Luo Xu sighed, the depth of the underwater world has reached a certain level, and the sunlight cannot shine in, so in addition to the huge water pressure around, it is dim and lightless, except for some whales and plankton at such a depth, generally speaking, there are no creatures to survive, and the forbidden area of life is not for fun.
Dive to a depth of 1,100 meters!
At this depth, even ordinary submarines will not venture into it, the water pressure is so great that it is enough to squeeze the steel into a ball, and the Poseidon as a specially developed deep submersible does not seem to be abnormal at such a depth, and it is no different from being on the surface of the sea. Luo Xu looked at the data on various instruments, showing that everything was normal, put his mind at ease, yawned and prepared to squint for a while, after all, the dive is automatically controlled by the computer, and the sea is not very good-looking, which makes him a little disappointed.
Dozens of minutes later, a "beep" sound woke Luo Xu up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the Poseidon had reached 3,945 meters deep in the sea, and at a depth of fifty or sixty meters below the searchlight, a flat, dark brown, lifeless submarine plain stretched under the searchlight until it was pitch black out of the light.
"Oh my God, this place is so cold."
Luo Xu had a strange feeling in his heart, this was not the feeling of sitting on the other side of the TV and watching a documentary, but the shock of experiencing and seeing it with his own eyes, and there was no comparison between the two of that kind of stimulation.
"Okay, where is my baby?"
Take out the cube and automatically levitate to expand the three-dimensional map, and a red dot on it shows that it is about seven or eight hundred meters away from the Poseidon, just ahead! Finding out the location, Luo Xu activated the manual control, and the Poseidon slowly shifted, aligning the direction and advancing forward. There are two deep-water searchlights arranged at the front of the Poseidon, which can rotate left and right 360 degrees, scanning the situation of the submarine plain below as it advances, and the desolation of the underwater world once again shocked Luo Xu.
Brown dust and sand, desolate stagnant water, nearly 4000 meters of the deep sea world, the current seems to have stopped moving, become stable and stagnant, human beings currently have little exploration of the underwater world, the understanding of the deep sea world depends on history and the few scientific surveys in the past years, in this place, human beings are ignorant and fragile, compared to space exploration, it is equivalent to zero.
Luo Xu suppressed his nervousness, and carefully controlled the Poseidon, the automatic control system of this deep submersible is extremely advanced, and the difficulty of control is not much more difficult than driving, Luo Xu is familiar with it a few times and can be proficient, but infected by the surrounding environment, of course, it is better to be cautious.
"Hey, it's exciting."
In this place, people who do not have deep-sea phobia will feel extremely depressed and fearful when they come, not to mention that Luo Xu himself has a little deep-sea phobia, but it is precisely like this, adrenaline is secreted in large quantities, and the sense of stimulation is mixed with a touch of fear, which makes people involuntarily addicted, which is probably a point that those who pursue extreme sports enjoy.
The Poseidon continued in a straight line, and no creatures appeared outside the portholes along the way, silent and dark, and just as the map was approaching the red dot, the searchlight suddenly shone on the bottom of the sea in front of it a large black object.
What is that?
Luo Xu frowned slightly, controlling the Poseidon to move forward gradually, but after a while, Luo Xu saw that the huge black object was a sunken ship!
Strange, how can there be a shipwreck here?
Luo Xu spread the range of the searchlight, and the appearance of the wreck was slowly exposed to his eyes, this is a large ship, wooden structure, half buried in the dust and sand, half exposed, the shape of the ship is very narrow, there are many empty grooves on the side of the ship, it looks like a centipede, it is obviously an ancient ship.
Luo Xu patted his head, he had a little impression of this ship, he remembered that when he watched the movie before, wasn't the Portuguese warship in the sixteenth century in the movie similar to it? Could it be that this is an ancient Portuguese warship?
What about the ancient warship, at most, Luo Xu sighed, what annoyed him was that there was a big black hole on the ship, and the broken and squeezed deformed tail of the neuronal fighter was there, obviously the fighter fell into the big hole of the Portuguese warship.
This ancient warship, which had sunk for hundreds of years, was parked there motionless, and it did not fall apart for hundreds of years in such a deep water immersion, which is indeed very powerful. The Poseidon thrusters pushed the entire deep submersible closer to the wreck, and when it came to the top of the wreck, the searchlight shot down, and the situation of the wreck became more clear. The ancient shipwreck was inserted into the ocean floor at an almost fifty-degree angle, the bow was on the up, the stern was buried, and in a deep black hole on the deck, the neuronal fighter was twisted and deformed into it, and the front part was flooded with darkness except for the tail vent.
Although the entrance to the cave is very large, it is not big enough to allow the Poseidon to enter, Luo Xu was a little dumbfounded when he saw this situation, how should he be called in this situation?
Well, use the deep-sea hydraulic manipulator arm to see if it can cope with the current difficult situation, Luo Xu pressed the button, fiddling with the longitudinal rod to stretch out the starboard mechanical arm, this mechanical arm has seven degrees of freedom, equipped with nine cameras, three cameras, optional a variety of work kits, the maximum extension of 4.75 meters, the maximum lifting force of 6500N, the weight is less than 100kg, the use of master-slave electro-hydraulic servo control, the control accuracy is high, may be able to complete the task.
The camera installed on the mechanical arm fed back the video signal, the sensors of each joint were normal, Luo Xu controlled the Poseidon to "land" to the top of the big hole, and the starboard robotic arm extended out, rotated the direction of the joint, and probed down to probe and descend. At the same time, the port side of the hand manipulator arm also automatically stretches out, feedback back the actual position signal of each joint, the two do a good job of relative position comparison, and the light equipment on the manipulator starts.
In the deep hole, you can see that the fighter is very badly damaged, and the surface shell has been seriously deformed and dented by the pressure of the deep sea, but this is not the place where Luo Xu's face has changed greatly, in the front part of the fighter, including the cockpit underneath, as if it was cut off by a sharp blade, it disappeared without a trace, which is the reason why the fighter suddenly lost contact.
"Oh my God, what the hell happened?"
Luo Xu thought for a moment, "It can't be that the cube opened the space-time light film, right?" ”
There is really such a possibility, the space-time light film opens inside the fighter, and the front end of the fighter is teleported instantly, causing an effect like a sharp blade and laser cutting.
The red dot on the map shows that the area is probably inside the wreck, but in the video taken by the camera on the robotic arm, there is no trace of the cube in the cabin of the large hole. So, where is the cube not here? Luo Xu's heart sank, and he controlled the manipulator to move to the x-axis, and after not finding the item, he returned to the original position and moved towards the positive and negative y-axis, but still no trace of the cube was found.
It's a bit of a hassle, isn't it in the cabin below this deck? Where the hell is that?
In this deep sea, the scientific and technological means that can be used are limited, and ordinary robots can't work in this place, Luo Xu is a little distressed, the Poseidon can't enter the exploration, but the size of the X2 is doable, the question is, can the X2's armor withstand the water pressure of 4000 meters? Well, although Bob said that it would probably work, but in doing so, the Poseidon could only be abandoned, and more importantly, wearing X2 was not much different from entering the bottom of the sea in person, even if Luo Xu was bold, looking at the dark and silent underwater world, he felt furious in his heart, and did not dare to try this method easily.
There are two great fears in the world, one is a person floating alone in the boundless vacuum without air, and the second is a lonely person floating in the deep sea of thousands of meters or tens of thousands of meters. Luo Xu curiously experienced the deep sea diving, and at this time he had to admire the old man Cameron, who dared to run to the deep sea of tens of thousands of meters alone in a deep submersible, which is really incomparable with ordinary people.
Fortunately, Luo Xu had other methods, so he had to be prescient, there were two small torpedoes on this Poseidon, which were just used to deal with the situation in front of him.
Slowly retracting the left and right port mechanical arms, the Poseidon gradually retreated to a distance of about 20 meters, and then rose to a height of 10 meters and stopped its direction.
Luo Xu was about to expand the hole, aiming at the back of the hole, and pressed the launch button.
