The submarine opened, and the Delriaste sank into the dark sea,

The frogman team hung the safety rope on the safety hook on the top of the Dirieste, and the other end of the safety line was connected to the roulette wheel on the top of the Sumeru seat.

The giant wheel is wrapped around a twelve-kilometer-long safety cable, a special metal newly developed by the Rock Flow Research Institute, which is more than enough to lift even ten ships of the Diriaste.

The equipment department's special recovery system can recover the submersible from the bottom of the abyss to the surface of the sea in less than 20 minutes.

In order to ensure the safe return of the diving team, both the Kassel and the Japanese branch took out the contents at the bottom of the box.

Gen Zhisheng sat in the command post of Sumeru, and Xi He presented different messages in images and words around him.

He was like an ancient daimyo who was sitting in a military tent and controlling the lives of his men.

Although the one under his command was the shogun of the shogunate.

"At a depth of 500 meters, everything is fine."

"At a depth of 800 meters, everything is fine."

"At a depth of 1000 meters, everything is fine."

Yuan Zhisheng would repeat the report every once in a while, not with others, but with himself.

Because there is not only Lu Mingfei in the deep submersible, but also his only sister Eri Uesugi.

Speaking of which, Gen considered whether to convert to Uesugi, but after thinking about it, he still didn't change.

Since he is the master of everyone, he has to consider the eight families of Snake Qi as a whole.

If he changes his surname, then the Yuan family will be equivalent to an heir.

The deep submersible dived at a constant speed in Yuan Zhisheng's self-talk, and when the diving depth reached 2,100 meters, Lu Mingfei suddenly heard a faint abnormal sound.

"There is a situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the submersible suddenly paused, and the readings of all the gauges began to fluctuate violently.

Caesar, who volunteered to be the driver, suddenly changed color and stared at the dashboard and shouted.

"Submersible malfunction! Call Sumeru! The pressure in the watertight compartments 1, 2 and 3 drops at the same time, and we are losing buoyancy! To repeat, we are losing buoyancy! ”

"I saw it!"

Gen Zhisheng was surrounded by holographic projections, and the piercing sound of sirens almost shattered his eardrums.

He desperately kept his eyes open and absorbed all the information into his brain.

Unconsciously, Yuan Zhisheng has already turned on the keel state.

"It's the pressure relief valve that, due to a design flaw, the other valves are all closed and can't stop the air from escaping."

He quickly figured out what the problem was.

"Then you can only block the pipe to the pressure relief valve by switching the tee pipe, but that operation takes time!"

Caesar said according to the operator's manual.

"Steady, the Rock Flow Research Institute is urgently studying the plan."

Yuan Zhisheng said.

Caesar was tempted to hold himself steady, but the pride of the nobility kept him silent.

He looked at Lu Mingfei, who still had that calm expression.

"Brother Lu, aren't you nervous at all? We're going to die headfirst on the seabed. ”

Caesar asked.

"Speaking of which, does this count as not asking to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month?"

was infected by Lu Mingfei, his mentality also relaxed, and he made jokes.

"There's still time. If the Japanese branch can't solve it, we can also cut through the submersible and climb up the safety rope. ”

Lu Mingfei said.

Eri Uesugi's Speech Spirit Judgment also works on non-living forms, and with the sharpness of the Dragon Slaying Sword, it only takes a minute or two to cut through the Dirieste.

"Calling the Diriaeste! The Rock Flow Institute provided an emergency plan, turning on the nuclear power source, working with the stabilizer wing and the balance rudder, and entering the underwater gliding state. ”

After a brief silence, the headset came from the screams of Yuan Zhisheng.

Lu Mingfei smashed the glass cover on the console with a punch, and then pulled the yellow wrench inside.

Akina Sakai and Caesar operated the stabilizer wing and balance rudder in unison, and the momentum of the submersible's descent immediately stalled.

The screech of metal bending echoed above them, alternating weightlessness and overweight, and the Dirieste was slowly braking.

The depth gauge finally stopped at 7,900 meters, and the submersible was suspended in the deep sea.

The various lights on the instrument panel flickered and then suddenly went out, and the cockpit was pitch black.

Caesar's ears were full of cacophony, and he couldn't tell if it was the sound of hydraulic fluid flowing in the pipes or the sound of his heartbeat for the rest of his life.

But soon, one voice overshadowed all the others and appeared clearly in everyone's ears.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of two overlapping heartbeats echoed through the cramped cabin, powerful and soothing.

"Brother Lu, you."

Caesar's eyes widened, and the two heartbeats seemed to come from the same person's body.

"Yes, I have two hearts."

Lu Mingfei replied calmly.

He had enough secrets in him, and two hearts didn't seem to be anything.

Moreover, Caesar was a friend of the warband, and his friend should be trusted.

Caesar's eyes looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei in the darkness, such a huge secret, but he did not hesitate to tell himself.

If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman.

Caesar remembered a line he had seen in the costume TV series and decided to keep the secret until he died.

He manually turned on the power, and all the instruments were working again.

After checking the indicators, Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, the circuits and piping were still in order, and the watertight compartment No. 4 was working properly.

The point is that there were no problems with the oxygen tubes carried by the deep submersibles.

Just in case, the Rock Flow Research Institute did not use the oxygen tanks for deep diving on the market, but directly made several of them with ceramic steel and new alloys.

Not to mention 7,900 meters, even if you throw it to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, you can't deflat.

"Lu Jun, do you need to return immediately?"

Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"Can it continue to work?"

Lu Mingfei asked Caesar.

"It's not impossible."

Caesar said after checking the gauge index again.

"Then go ahead with the dive plan."

Lu Mingfei made a decision.

"Yes!"

He is the real commander, and Yuan Zhisheng can only follow his orders.

"It's so beautiful out there."

Eri Uesugi said, leaning through the porthole.

Everyone looked out the window, and a warm red light came in, brighter than the light in the cabin.

The sight outside was even more striking, with huge schools of fish swimming in the glow, some nearly transparent, others faintly fluorescent.

These fish are very different from normal fish, such as manta rays with black and white exoskeletons on their heads, and turtles with fleshy dorsal carapaces that resemble cracked red basalt.

Lu Mingfei raised his head, and a gray-white cloud flowed above the deep submersible.

It was a dragon whale with a body length of more than 100 meters, and the gray-white clouds were the pattern on its abdomen.

Everything in front of you has a dreamlike beauty, just like the magnificent ocean world in the cartoon.

But the thought that this is 7,900 meters deep in the ocean makes everything scary again.

Such an ecology is clearly abnormal, and there is a supernatural force that causes their existence.

And this kind of power to reconstruct the ecological environment is impossible for even ordinary dragons to have, and the level of this ancient dragon embryo seems to be frighteningly high.

Lu Mingfei looked down, and below him was a large submarine canyon.

At the bottom of the canyon was a north-south golden rift, a wound to the earth, from which countless magma erupted intermittently, bringing heat.

And that ancient dragon embryo must be hiding in this natural hatchery, quietly waiting for the day of the new king's arrival.

However, its wait is doomed to be in vain.

Because Lu Mingfei has already come.
