Chapter 019: At Sea
There was a slight wind and waves at sea today, but this did not affect the navigation of these two medium-sized steamers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The two ships were one after the other, and they didn't look special on the outside, looking at the sailors and passengers on board, they seemed to be normal merchant ships. The only thing that is unusual is that there are not many people on board, and everyone is quiet and does not communicate much.
After a period of time on the sea, the steamer came to a sudden stop, and the two steamers were forty or fifty meters apart, side by side, and each group of men walked from the cabin to the deck, wearing black diving suits and carrying oxygen tanks, only the white numbers on their chests to distinguish each other.
The captains of both ships also stepped out and stood on the side of the ship, both with metal masks on their faces, glaring at each other, and then nodding their heads together.
The divers immediately went into action, and in groups of 5 they turned over and went into the water, and a total of 40 people dived into the water, diving into the sea from the sides of the two boats, and disappeared into the sea after a while.
After the divers entered the sea, the captain and crew did not leave the deck, and they all waited quietly.
Below the surface of the sea.
This sea area is not deep, not to mention that all divers are qi refiners and can withstand higher water pressure than ordinary people. After reaching the bottom of the sea, all divers disperse and head in their respective directions.
Diver 019 continued in the direction of his search, swimming and looking around, looking at a disc on his wrist, the disc the size of a palm, with a thick layer of glass on the surface, and a radar-like scanning display screen under the glass, with circles of ripples spreading out from the center of the screen, and from time to time bright spots appeared on the screen, but all of them quickly disappeared.
Despite swimming a long distance, 019 did not give up, adjusting the light source above his head, and continued to move in possible directions while alerting to possible dangers on the seabed.
He searched for half an hour, and most of the oxygen in the oxygen tank had been consumed, and just as he was about to float up and return to the ship to replace the oxygen tank, the disc on his wrist suddenly vibrate, and a clear bright spot appeared on the edge of the screen.
No. 019 immediately gave up the plan to float, and with a wave of his hands, the true qi in his body blasted out from under his body, impacting into the water, bringing a reverse thrust, allowing No. 019 to move forward quickly, and after a while, he saw his goal.
A large plate is inserted in the sand of the seabed, and on the side of the plate, a horizontal number is revealed: 3.
And behind the slabs, a black chest half a meter square landed on a rock, and the chest shimmered with a faint light.
No. 019 was overjoyed, he immediately swam up, and turned on the walkie-talkie at the same time: "No. 019 found the black box of records, No. 019 found the black box of records, repeated, No. 019 found the black box of records, No. 019 found the black box of records!." ”
A reply immediately came from the intercom: "Roger, about to start locating, keep in touch." ”
"Understood. 019 immediately replied that he had swam to the black box to confirm that it was normal, but at this point, he saw other large objects scattered around the black box, like some mechanical wreckage.
"What is this?" he wondered.
......
The captain of a ship returned to the command room on the bridge, saluted an old man in the command room, and then said: "Report to the Zhan Palace Master, the record black box of the No. 03 spaceship has been recovered, and the rest of the wreckage is also being salvaged. ”
The old man, known as the lord of the Zhan Palace, turned around, he did not wear a mask, revealing a face that was a little old, but not at all decadent, whether it was the white hair on the top of his head or the beard on his chin, they were all neatly tied, and the uniform on his body was also very neatly worn, and he couldn't find the slightest fault. He had his hands behind his back, and on each shoulder was a thick piece of metal in the shape of a shoulder armor, but a closer look revealed that the two pieces of metal shoulder armor did not fall on his shoulder at all, but were suspended in mid-air, moving with his shoulder.
"Very well, immediately prepare to open the black box of records and see what the hell has happened to Ship 03. Zhan Palace Lord said, and at the same time prepared to walk outside.
"Yes, uh, but ......," the captain hesitated.
"What's the matter?" the Zhan Palace Lord raised his gray eyebrows, a little displeased.
"That's right, in addition to recording the black box and the wreckage of spacecraft 03, we also found some mechanical wreckage, and after preliminary identification, those mechanical wreckage has existed in the water for about the same time as the wreckage of spacecraft 03, but it does not belong to our ship. The captain said immediately.
"A ship that doesn't belong to us? Maybe it's the wreckage of some other shipwreck, what's all the fuss. ”
"But the wreckage of the machinery...... It's not at all like it is used by mortals or qi refiners, and after the preliminary judgment of the scholars, the technological level of the mechanical wreckage is at least ten times more advanced than ours!"
"What?" The Zhan Palace Lord stopped suddenly, his face changed, his brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Put those mechanical wreckage aside first, and immediately open the black box of records." ”
"But—"
"Idiot, those mechanical wrecks don't appear out of thin air, they fell into the water with the wreckage of Spacecraft 03, indicating that they must have suffered the same incident as Spacecraft 03, first open the black box of records, let me see what happened to Spacecraft 03. The Zhan Palace Lord scolded unceremoniously.
"Yes!"
......
Hua Qing and Wutong soon left the Lan Mansion, and finally did not go to the prison with Pei Yueban, they said that there was still some work to be done, and the interrogation of Chen He began in the afternoon.
Bei Yueban also left, but judging from his eyes and demeanor when he left, Xu Changsheng could judge two things, one is that he has a lot of hostility towards himself, according to the normal plot flow, he will definitely come to find trouble next, and the other is that Lan Zijun's uncle is not small, as soon as this name is raised, it doesn't matter if it is true or not, at least the eyes of the other three people present have changed, Huaqing is surprised, Wutong is surprised, and Bei Yueban has finally changed from slanted eyes to positive eyes, and the complexity of his eyes is more complex than Huaqing and Wutong.
But that's a later story, so let's leave it alone. Xu Changsheng sat opposite Lan Zijun, his eyes met Lan Zijun's, for more than ten seconds, Lan Zijun finally couldn't help it, and said: "Okay, okay, you asked me for help last night, let me teach you to learn the Qi Refining Method, this is equivalent to apprenticeing to me, what's so good." ”
"But you didn't say that, you said I was worshipping at your uncle's door. Xu Changsheng immediately retorted.
"I ...... My uncle and I both learned the Qi refining method from my grandfather, and we have a family inheritance, so since you worship me as a teacher, you naturally worship my uncle as a teacher. Lan Zijun argued.
"Don't talk about these things or not, it doesn't matter, what I want to ask is, why did you refuse Huaqing for me?" Xu Changsheng was not angry, he was new to the city anyway, and he didn't understand anything, there was actually no difference between listening to Lan Zijun and listening to Huaqing, not to mention that Lan Zijun was right, but he wanted to know the reason.
