"Doctor, we've arrived at our predetermined location" The entrance overhead closed, and it was dark everywhere, Hayabusa took out a tactical flashlight and turned it on, and a bright pillar of light shot into the darkness, finding a small piece of light.
Hydroacoustics.
The sound of rushing water filled everyone's ear drums.
"How can there be water here?"
asked Garan, the female elf at the back of the line, "My instincts tell me that something is wrong with this place" "Alright, my elven princess, it's okay here."
Falcon's flashlight shone in a circle, "The jellyfish base is like a giant submarine, and when it dives, the top layers will gradually fill with a certain volume of seawater, so that the whole base can dive into the sea.
We are now on the top floor, where we are in a compartment for storing water, which is clearly marked on the drawings provided by Ducat. ” In the past few days, Hayabusa, as an operator who followed the group into the jellyfish base, was in charge of technical research, so together with Ducat, he conducted an extremely detailed study of the original map of the "Ark" left by Mailer, so to speak, this guy has engraved the entire sketch in his mind.
"Well, there's no time to discuss anything else right now."
Finch said, "How much time do we have to move on to the next level" "That's right, when the jellyfish base dives, it will automatically choose the module compartment at the top to start filling the water, and the degree is extremely fast, but they have a feature, the compartment is connected with each other.
When a compartment is filled, seawater is poured into the next compartment through a connected pipe, and until the next compartment is filled, the passage is opened, and we have to dive underwater to find the passage where each compartment is connected, and then drill through to the next level.
Hayabusa said.
"So, how many layers are we going to drill in total?"
asked Gege.
"This one is inconclusive at all, it depends on how many meters the entire jellyfish base will dive to the bottom of the sea, and according to the depth of the dive, they will choose how much seawater to fill."
Hayabusa replied.
"But how do we end up in a module with no seawater?"
asked Gege.
"Rely on this."
The falcon pulled out two tubes from his chest, which looked like glass, and contained something shiny gold, like flowing yellow financial liquid.
"This is given to me by President Ducat, it is by the alchemists above the sage level in the Alchemy Guild using the purest quenching method, removing all the magazines in the metal, and then putting a certain proportion of Andwali gold to give it life, to be precise, this metal is a liquid liquid, but it has its own life."
Falcon said: "The alchemy equipment in the jellyfish is actually something similar to the alchemy lock, but it is unlocked through a rune-like code, and this intelligent metal with life will be injected into the alchemy keyhole, it can automatically infiltrate every subtle alchemy gear, so that they automatically return to the unlocked position, so as to fundamentally destroy the lock, and it has been in the state of unlocking." ” "That's what you used to pick the lock," Gege seemed to understand.
"That's right, otherwise do you think I have the ability to learn to unlock the alchemy lock left by Master Maile in just a few days" Hayabusa said, "I'm not a dwarf genius, and I don't have any classes to read." ” "Alright, in that case, what are we waiting for, dive down, open the locks one by one, and find the passage to the inner core, anyway, with this kind of smart metal, it seems that there is nothing that can't be opened," the sailor urged impatiently.
"your big guy," Falcon said with an unhappy look on his boss: "Although it is a panacea, it doesn't mean that we can mess around, this metal is very easy to fail due to refining, so Ducat's hands only have these three tubes, and they are all given to me."
We already used one tube when we came in just now, and that's all that is left for the last two.
Good steel is to be used on the blade, and we must make sure that the module we are in is the last water-filled wood block to be used, so as not to be flooded again in another module space that we are entering after use, so that we will be drowned alive in it. ” "It seems that there is a reason why Ducatt did not send someone personally."
Gege said coldly: "I guess the old guy himself is not sure how useful this thing is, and he doesn't know what Haynes has transformed this place into, he is afraid of throwing his life here, he is really cunning, greedy for life and afraid of death." ” The water had slowly spilled up, from the ankle to the chest, and there was no time for everyone to continue discussing what to do.
On this mission, all of them brought special small respirators, which could be worn on their faces like masks, and provided oxygen for up to four hours.
At this time, under Finch's order, they took it out and put it on, and lined up one by one to get into the water.
The light of the tactical flashlight can only penetrate less than 7 meters in the icy water, but fortunately the water here is not muddy, but there are still a lot of plankton and fine particles in the light, and golden gadgets are flying in the sight.
Everyone lined up, one after the other, so as to avoid getting lost in the water, Falcon leads, the pressure of the water is so that his eardrum is about to crack, the pressure gauge shows that they have dived to a depth of 8o meters, obviously, although the water of this module is not deep, but the entire jellyfish base is constantly diving, and at this time it has reached nearly a hundred meters below sea level.
Since the water filling tank and the seawater outside are connected, the pressure on the people in the tank is the same.
In the average human limit dive, the naked dive record is 113 meters, set by a Frenchman, and the dive record with equipment is 338 meters, set by an Egyptian special forces officer.
And now the people in the tank have begun to approach the limit of naked diving, and the depth is increasing.
If they can't find an exit into the base before they dive to dangerous depths, everyone will be crushed into patties under tremendous pressure.
"Don't panic, everyone."
Finch's voice came from the headphones, "The limit record for humans is 33 meters deep, we are Moria hybrids, Gege is a Nibelungen royalty, Garan is the princess of the dark elves, and the depth that can be experienced is at least 6oo meters, until then, we should all be safe, try to breathe as calmly as possible, don't be nervous" "6oo meters" Hayabusa felt his teeth warp, "I don't think I can survive that deep, the big guy is probably okay, he himself is a big piece of iron." ” "Stop talking nonsense, don't speak, no one, when you're dumb, quickly find your mouth," Gege couldn't help but scold.
Each module seems to have a fixed link passage to the other, and the location is directly below the module without exception, and the falcon leads everyone through several passages in a row.
The pressure gauge in everyone's hands shows that the water depth has reached 35o meters, and it is still increasing.
This is home to the Chagos Trench, where the seabed is more than 5,000 meters deep and can crush steel into discus.
"Falcon, in the end, we haven't found a module that leads to a tank that is not boiling water" Lanstrlo, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it, this feeling of constantly groping in the dark was really disgusting.
Every time the falcon reaches a block, it will dive to the bottom to see if there is a connection to the water pipe entrance, and if there is, it will pass through the pipe with a diameter of one and a half meters.
This time, the excited cry of the falcon finally came from the earphones.
"There is no pipe entrance here, we found it":
