【Chapter 72】Coma

Including the setting of the beetle snake rope, what the mirage can do is far beyond Yu Moji's imagination.

This may also be because Yu Moji's imagination is really too simple - she originally thought that following Jin Niang this time was nothing more than learning how to hold her breath underwater for a long time, and while holding her breath, she operated an excavator that might be used to find a thousand years old gold in the deep sea in the future.

When Jin Niang forcibly trained Yu Moji, a landlubber, to swim in the water, the length of time Yu Moji held his breath could only reach half an hour at most. At this time, it is only enough to swim to the bottom of the pond and then float back to the shore.

Therefore, in Yu Moji's view, this whole thing is simply impossible to complete.

It's just that Yuan Pingzhi and Lu Chen actually showed quite serious expressions together. These two people, one has become a generation of grandmasters, and the other is also a highly accomplished rookie, although they have never explained how to solve the problems that Yu Moji thought of, but the decisions they made always carried more weight than Yu Moji. On the other hand, these two people treat Yu Moji very well on weekdays, and Yu Moji has no way to refute it out of respect.

In addition, Yu Mojin also luckily thought that since these two people decided to supervise on the shore, then her little life could probably be saved. In this case, she was happy to follow her master's instructions to go to the new environment to see how far the current Yanjia technology could be.

Now, the situation is completely beyond her expectations.

From the moment he entered the shadow cast by the mirage, Yu Moji gradually discovered that there were many dead ends in Yuan Yizhi and Lu Chen's field of vision, and these dead ends made it impossible for them to observe Yu Moji and Jin Niang's actions at any time; On the contrary, she had been worried about the breathing problem before, and she didn't need to worry about it at all. The constant flow of air inside the mirage can completely ensure the normal activities of the armor operator.

Despite this, Yu Moji had a lot of underwater training to complete, and it was impossible for him to stay in the mirage all the time. After Jin Niang taught her how to use the snake rope, Yu Moji began to prepare for the long period of breath holding after re-entering the water.

Actually, there is nothing to prepare for. She was just a little scared. But she also knows that in an unfamiliar environment, it is easier to stumble over herself than the dangers around her, but it is the fear itself.

Lao Meng did something that surprised her again.

The creator of the mirage opened a secret door at the back of the chamber - it was a separate space that was supposed to be used as a small warehouse. It's just that as far as the warehouse goes, the place is a little too neat.

This style of being overly demanding on neatness is exactly the same as the study that Xu Fuzi is mourning for. Yu Mozhen used to think that the study was arranged by the rigid old stubborn Xu Fuzi himself, but now it seems that Xu Fuzi and Lao Meng, the master and servant, really agreed.

Lao Meng took out two small soft flat pots from the small warehouse and brought them to the side of the air supply vent at the bottom of the cabin, which was not easy to detect.

As a large amount of air poured into them, the two pots swelled rapidly, and the open walls of the pots were much more transparent. Yu Moji couldn't make out the material, but thought it looked like some kind of big fish.

Jin Niang pulled out the end of the snake rope, fixed the large pot full of air to Yu Moji's back, and began to teach Yu Moji to breathe using the hose at the mouth of the pot.

"The pressure in the deep water is extremely strong, and I have heard that untrained people who rush into the water will even have their ears crushed. Such a thin pot...... Isn't it really going to explode? ”

Lao Meng smiled, "This is called 'Heaven and Earth in a Pot', which I specially designed for the deep sea, and it is very strong. With the depth of this pool, you don't have to worry at all. It's enough to support you to move freely in the water for two quarters of an hour. ”

Jin Niang nodded and agreed, "If you really feel unwell, don't forget that you still have a beetle snake rope around your waist, and you can return to the mirage at any time." ”

Yu Moji couldn't help but admire.

When she was studying Qi culture at the seminary, she heard the allusion of "heaven and earth in a pot", which tells the story of an immortal hidden in the bazaar, who was able to conjure a golden jade hall and a sweet dish of wine out of thin air in a wine jug, creating a realm of life (Note 1). Since Lao Meng has the ability to turn the bottom of this lifeless pool into a place where living people can move freely, doesn't he also have this kind of supernatural ability?

Who is he sacred?

Jin Niang seemed to be used to seeing this kind of miracle, she just smiled slightly, then raised her hand to buckle the mask of eye protection, quickly opened the exit of the cabin, and swam out hand in hand with Yu Moji. Lao Meng climbed the watchtower at the top of the mirage and stayed inside to make a plan for them.

That watchtower is the real vantage point from which you can see the whole picture.

Underneath the mirage, there is a small hand-set Chitose gold mine, of course, it is impossible to dig up gold, but in order to facilitate training, the whole set of Yanji is very systematic.

It's the first time I've done this kind of mining work.

Even though Yanjia needs Chitose Gold to provide power, just as people who like to eat chickens don't care about how to deliver hens, Yu Moji, a person who is keen on Yanjia's science, has never planned to go down to the mines.

It wasn't a place to be pleasant for her, after all. Her maternal grandfather is said to have died in the mournful millennial gold mine due to forced labor, which indirectly led to the tragic fate of her mother and her unhappy childhood.

Moreover, according to Yu Mojian's understanding, Lu Chen will send her back to Xiliang in the future, in order to open up the road to the deep sea in the south. The real mining of underwater millennial gold is something that will be done by the miners much later, and it is not Yu Moji's job.

Therefore, Jin Niang took her down this time, but in fact, she was just learning the skills of manipulating the Yanjia underwater.

However, it is not difficult for Yu Moji to manipulate the mining machine. Although the training program of the Cardinal Council does not belong to the people at the bottom of the mine, the Yanshi have designed various Yanji in order to improve the efficiency of mining. Those are all things that are very familiar to Yu Moji.

When she was operating in the mine, Jin Niang dived up and down the ground nearby, on the one hand, to facilitate the observation of Yu Moji's condition, and on the other hand, Jin Niang also intended to give Yu Moji some opportunities to be alone, so that she could gradually adapt to the state of working in deep water.

This deep pool is eerie, and there is not even a single swimming fish. It is as if the light and life have never arrived in this world, and for the armor operator, the mood will be tested a lot.

Fortunately, the manipulation of the Yan Armor has always brought a lot of fun to Yu Moji. Because of Jin Niang's company, the initial fear and loneliness slowly dissipated. Since there are no distractions here, Yu Moji's heart gradually becomes clearer. She quickly picked up some of the tricks and threw herself into it with great interest.

Even when Jin Niang finally returned and hovered to her side, she didn't notice it at all. Jin Niang had to reach out and gently pat her shoulder, Yu Moji was startled, turned her head to look, only to find that the time for the heaven and earth in the pot to take effect was about to pass.

Relying on the beetle snake rope, Jin Niang guided Yu Moji back to the entrance of the mirage, and then stopped and made a gesture. She had told Yu Moji before that this was meant to practice special circumstances.

The underwater environment is unpredictable, and the handler is likely to experience injuries, suffocation, and other problems. In these cases, the armor operator may not be able to return completely on his own physical strength, so he needs to use the power of the beetle snake rope to forcibly pull the armor operator back. This is a compulsory course for this underwater training.

The process of being pulled back by the beetle snake rope is said to be surprisingly fast, and it is quite a test of the armor operator's ability to predict the return route and maintain balance. The accident that Jin Niang encountered before also happened in this part. Yu Moji couldn't help but be a little nervous.

However, just like every time Yu Moji showed a fragile and hesitant expression in the past, Jin Niang smiled at her very gently. This means that a smile of encouragement can often reassure Yu Moji.

Then Jin Niang suddenly pulled the snake rope around her waist. "Puff" a few times, the "Heaven and Earth in the Pot" on Jin Niang's back suddenly opened, and the remaining air inside was quickly discharged, and with the tightened snake rope, Jin Niang's whole person was pushed back.

Underneath the mirage, the emergency portal slid open at the right time, welcoming Jin Niang back inside, but it quickly closed, leaving only a string of bubbles that were both real and illusory, and had already dissipated before they could float in front of the ink marks.

Lao Meng explained to Yu Mochen that this kind of setting where only one person can enter at a time seems troublesome, but it is actually for safety reasons. It is precisely because of this kind of portal that it closes on its own, and even if the person who is tied to the snake rope does not have the strength to close the portal and activate the drainage mechanism, he will not choke to death and pour into the mirage's pool.

The more critical it is, the more important it is to pay attention to order. It is better to be able to safely return the armor operators to the mirage in turn, than to have these people's beetle ropes tangled in a ball, causing the miserable situation that no one can go back. Yu Mojian couldn't help but think of the words that Lu Chen had said before about sacrificing his life for maximum efficiency, and where the heart and armor were located, it was indeed the philosophy of the Cardinal.

Seeing that Jin Niang had successfully returned to the mirage, Yu Moji moved his fingers and encouraged himself.

She must believe at this moment that she has the ability to do it.

When Jin Niang taught her before, she repeated it back and forth many times, just to let Yu Moji remember what kind of force to use with both hands. Yu Moji mimicked the force to pull the snake rope around her waist, and the same thing happened again—the long rope tightened suddenly, the world in the pot turned upside down, and the foam and water rushed past her.

Just as her eyes widened under the mask, and she was ready to leap into the cabin, the accident happened.

The door, which allowed only one person to pass through at a time, turned her away.

Dragged by the high-speed recovery of the snake rope, the ink marks could not be hidden, and the whole person slapped on the outer wall of the mirage made of stainless steel.

She fainted.
