Chapter Eighty-Four: Ghosts of the Deep Sea
"Boom!"
The water waves were shocking, and the vibration could still be felt inside the Poseidon, and the deck of the wreck was bombarded by small torpedoes, and countless fragments immediately broke and exploded. The entire shipwreck had sunk for hundreds of years, and even if the power of the torpedo was not great, it was unbearable, and the deck suddenly collapsed and shattered, and even the sides of the ship on both sides were also shattered. By the time the waters had calmed down again, and looking down from the Poseidon, the forward deck of the wreck had disappeared, and even the remnants of the Falcon One had lost its support and fell into the cabin.
This situation is not bad, at least the Poseidon can be directly close to observe. Luo Xu pinched the longitudinal rod, the Poseidon accepted the control and approached the broken wreck, the left and right side mechanical arms extended out again, and began to search sharply in the cabin, this time his luck seemed to return, and it didn't take long to find the cube under the broken and rotten wooden plank. Luo Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly controlled the claws to fall, and carefully captured the cube and took it back to the Poseidon.
It's a complete success!
Unable to stop the surprise in his heart, Luo Xu's whole body suddenly relaxed, and finally, the third cube did not escape the palm of his hand, although the course of the matter was a little twisty and turned, but all difficulties were finally overcome and solved.
Mission accomplished, ready to return!
"Doodoo ......"
What's going on? Why did the alarm go off?
Luo Xu was stunned, looked down at the screen, the alarm red light flashed rapidly, and the passive sonar detected an object approaching from a distance, attracting the attention of the Poseidon computer. Luo Xu stretched out his hand a little, turned off the alarm, and there was a hissing sound from inside the earphones, which was the sound of the object detected by the magnetic pole glass sensor water listening device, a very smooth hissing sound, like the sound of a person exhaling with a small hole in his mouth closed.
"Bob, what is this?" Luo Xu pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but he couldn't tell what the voice meant.
"Sir, it is recommended to turn on active sonar detection."
"Okay, turn on active sonar."
The sound wave is emitted from the transmitting transducer, and the information is quickly fed back that it is a very large zoomite body, about 4.5 kilometers away, and the volume is at least 40 meters.
Luo Xu's face changed, in the 4,000-meter deep sea, such a huge moving object appeared, what was it? Fish? Or a submarine? Nuclear submarines are impossible, and most of the nuclear submarines of various countries operate in water depths of 400 to 500 meters, and they will not and do not have the ability to dive into a water depth of 4,000 meters. So a deep submersible? It is also impossible, there is no technology in the world to make deep submersibles above 40 meters. Since human beings are excluded, it is marine life?
Whales can't sneak in this hellish place!
The two searchlights were aimed at the moving object, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and after the searchlight shot out seventy or eighty meters, it became dark food. No matter how far away, you can't see anything clearly.
No matter what it was, Luo Xu didn't want to provoke right and wrong at all, so he quickly activated the Poseidon and prepared to float. But he doesn't want to provoke others, others don't necessarily come to provoke him, it seems that the explosion in the water just now attracted this deep-sea unidentified object, and the active sonar detected that this unidentified object was rapidly approaching the Poseidon.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sonar echo is warning the approach of an unknown object, Luo Xu's expression is slightly moved, he doesn't dare to slack off, and he doesn't float up, the speed of the rise is too slow, I'm afraid that the thing will approach without rising a few tens of meters, and now I can only hurry up and open the thruster fully, turn in one direction, and drive into the distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At a distance of 1.75 kilometers, the speed of the unknown object was too fast, and Luo Xu's Poseidon at full speed could not be compared to it.
"I'm dizzy, what the hell is this?"
Although he didn't panic, Luo Xu still felt nervous in his heart, and as soon as he mentioned it, the Poseidon immediately began to float in the process of advancing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
450 meters!
350 meters!
280 meters!
The unknown object behind him seemed to have become a hunter and was chasing his prey, Luo Xu took a deep breath, and simply didn't run away, and directly deflected the Poseidon around, ready to face this unknown object, he wanted to see what it was and why he kept chasing the Poseidon.
Bang!
This time the sound was not from the sonar feedback, but from a violent impact, and Luo Xu was almost knocked over by the impact, and the Bulkhead of the Poseidon creaked more frightening than the sound caused by the impact.
With x2 protection, Luo Xu didn't suffer any damage, but he felt very annoyed, fixed his posture, and was about to control the Poseidon when the incident suddenly got out of control. This time there was no impact, but the Poseidon shook violently from side to side like an earthquake, and its metal shell once again creaked with a startling sound. Luo Xu's posture was not yet stable, and he immediately overturned and crashed into the wall of the cabin of the Poseidon.
Luo Xu's scalp was numb, and he almost hurriedly got up, fixed the x2 in the shaking, and looked at the porthole directly above the outside, but the result surprised him, it was pitch black outside the porthole, and the searchlight seemed to be extinguished? Looking down at the display screen again, it was also pitch black, and it suddenly dawned on me that it was the unknown object outside that covered the entire Poseidon.
This feeling reminded him of the legendary deep-sea squid and deep-sea octopus, could it be that he had encountered such a monster?
Whether it's this kind of monster or not, if you hesitate any longer, the Poseidon will be finished. Luo Xu hurriedly clicked on the screen options, and the thrusters were fully powered, accelerating forward, trying to push the unknown object away. It's a pity that with the thrusters at full power, the Poseidon is still being shaken violently, and it has not advanced at all, let alone out of this situation.
Calm down! Calm down!
Luo Xu screamed a few times in his heart, and then quickly calmed down, he must take effective measures to get out of this dangerous situation. First of all, he thought of a torpedo, but immediately rejected the plan, at such a close distance, the torpedo could not be launched at all, not to mention that once it exploded, the Poseidon would also be finished. So if this solution doesn't work, what else can it do?
Pregnant! Luo Xu's eyes lit up, his hand followed the action, and calmly extended the starboard mechanical arm, switching modes to use a variety of work kits, which were drill bits that could drill rocks under the huge water pressure of the deep sea, extremely hard, as long as it was flesh and blood, it was impossible to resist. A few seconds later, the drill bit was activated, and a mechanical arm of more than four meters could stretch out and stretch out, immediately drilling through a layer of resistance, shaking the Poseidon very much.
At this moment, the Poseidon thrusters activated, hindered for a moment, and then successfully escaped from the pull of the unknown object. Sailing out of a distance, the sonar locked onto the target, the Poseidon quickly deflected, Luo Xu did not hesitate, pressed the launch button, the torpedo responded to the target and shot out, in an instant, a huge and sharp explosion sound passed through the Poseidon shell and entered Luo Xu's ears.
Two searchlights shone through, and I saw that dozens of meters away, a monster covered with black soft tissue was torn apart by the explosion, and the remaining half of its body was violently stirring. The appearance of this unknown creature is not like a squid or an octopus as Luo Xu guessed, but like a starfish, with five huge tentacles extending out, the whole body is dark, and in the middle is a mouthpiece like a black hole, and the image is so strange that it makes people's scalp numb and their hearts are frightened.
"Hey, am I hallucinating, is this really an Earth creature?"
If it weren't for wearing x2, Luo Xu really wanted to wipe the cold sweat on his head, pinch his face again, and make himself sober.
"Forget it, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'd better withdraw quickly!"
Luo Xu retreated in his heart, maybe it was the first torpedo explosion that attracted this deep-sea monster, who knows how many of these things are in this place, don't accidentally come a few more, that's called bad luck.
Thinking of this, Luo Xu began to float with the Poseidon on it, but the monster outside the porthole changed again, and it no longer stirred the wreckage, but swam towards the Poseidon.
"Damn, you're still here!"
The two torpedoes have all been launched, and the Poseidon can now be said to be unarmed, and in the face of this monster, it is really powerless. Fortunately, the monster was injured and its speed was affected, and the speed at which it swam was very different from before, but it was slightly faster than the speed at which the Poseidon floated.
It only took half a second for Luo Xu to make up his mind and float up at maximum speed!
Now the Poseidon is floating at a normal speed, although it is relatively slow, but it can ensure that the Poseidon will not be damaged due to the change in water pressure, but once you ignore the increase in speed, it may cause damage to the Poseidon. Luo Xu's decision was thought about at the moment of lightning, naturally there were his reasons, the first was that the deep-sea monster was injured, and the speed was only a little faster than the current Poseidon, as long as it accelerated to the surface, at least he could keep a certain distance from the monster, and he was not afraid of being caught up in an instant like before. The second reason is that the accelerated floating Poseidon can withstand it, but it does not mean that this deep-sea monster can easily withstand it. Organisms in the ocean, living in different water layers, are subjected to different water pressures, and once they are accustomed to this water pressure, once this water pressure comes to another water pressure, it may immediately cause the death of organisms, whether it is from low water pressure to high water pressure, or high water pressure to low water pressure, it is the same result.
The sharp change in water pressure is Luo Xu's killer feature!
Sure enough, the accelerated ascent caused damage to the Poseidon, and warnings were displayed on various instrument indicators, but Luo Xu ignored the warning with a calm face, but focused on the sonar response.
3840 m ......
3800 m ......
3755m......
3702 m......
3642m......
It took only a few days for the Poseidon to be manufactured, but at this time, it underwent a severe test, Luo Xu was calm on the surface, and he also pinched a cold sweat for the Poseidon in his heart, so he had to break away from the Poseidon as soon as he saw that the timing was wrong.
Facts have proved that the military quality, there is no fraud, the Poseidon withstood the drastic changes in water pressure, but the deep-sea monster chasing from below became farther and farther away in the sonar response, until 3400 meters, the monster no longer moved, and stopped the pursuit of the Poseidon.
Luo Xu's judgment wins!
