Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk - Chapter Forty-One
“Wow—”
Like a fish jumping into the water, two black figures broke through the water at the bottom of the diving bell, and dived into the sea with the sound of billowing bubbles.
The opening of the diving bell is set at the bottom of the diving bell, because the air pressure in the bell is always in balance with the external water pressure, so even if the hatch is opened in the deep sea, no water will flow in from the outside.
“Grrrrrrrrrr—”
The bubbles are rolling out, and the moment you hold your breath and enter the water, you will be amazed for a moment. It was a wonderful feeling, a sense of peace that could only be described by the word “matrix” could not be suppressed in the brain. The cold sea water clings to your skin through the diving suit, and wraps you tightly at 360 degrees under the sea pressure. This familiar sense of envelopment will evoke some of the most primitive memories in the human subconscious, just like a baby returning to the mother’s womb again,
Only after experiencing this feeling can you understand why so many marine biologists are so sure that the first ancestors of human beings originated from the ocean. It feels like the most primitive gene in the blood has been touched, and the wanderer who has been away for hundreds of millions of years has returned to his hometown again.
“My department has entered the water.”
The two moved around the diving bell for a while, and then they said this to the communicator in the helmet after seeing Shenxiu. They were suspended in the water layer next to the diving bell, observing their surroundings by the light of the diving bell’s searchlight. Behind him was a long black cable, connected to the clock beside him.
“Received, the diving bell has entered remote supervision mode.”
Xi Wei’s voice came from the earphones. The searchlight of the diving bell flickered once, indicating to the two that the mode switch had been completed.
“Is our diving instructor ready? Let them connect to the communication.” Jian Shenxiu looked around in the water, because the fish were far away, the sea area seemed a little silent at this moment, and there was nothingness in sight.
Under the effect of nitrogen narcosis, this emptiness has a particularly oppressive feeling, which stimulates their sensitive nerves.
He raised his hand and touched the mask on top of his head. Below that position was the camera built into the mask.
“The deep water camera has been turned on, can you see it clearly?”
“Can.”
There was the sound of keyboard operation from Xi Wei’s side, as if she was projecting the things captured by the camera onto the public screen.
“The picture from the camera…is a bit dark, but you can see it clearly.”
Then her voice suddenly dropped, as if she was turning around to ask about the situation in other places.
“Group A, is the instructor ready…Okay, I’ll connect to the diving instructor’s communication right now.”
Then suddenly there was another electric sound in the communication, and the voices of two middle-aged men joined the communication.
“Hi sir, can you hear me? This is Coach Ishikawa.”
“Hi, I’m Coach Kim Jong.”
“Hello, both of you, I can hear you.” Jian Shenxiu quickly confirmed that his voice was clear, and said straight to the point.
“Can you tell where we are now?”
“Yes, please take a look down.” The coach said quickly.
“The exact location, we need to observe the seabed.”
“receive.”
Seeing Shenxiu nodded when he heard the words, then lowered his head and looked down.
So the sandy white seabed slowly unfolds in the lens. The searchlight on the diving bell illuminated a flat seabed. Looking down from the vantage point of Shenxiu, you can see the prosperous coral reefs, the swimming fish hiding in them, and… across the seabed, it is tens of meters wide, like a huge crack cut by a sharp axe.
The light of the searchlight couldn’t go deep into that place, and the result of the light entering it was only to slowly diffuse within it with the distance. Looking at the past, it was pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything, and I couldn’t perceive anything.
Xue Jian Ze Da Heng Duan. The depth of the seabed in the sea near Xuejianze is only about 50 meters, but the depth in the cross section alone can exceed 300 meters. On a sunny day with good weather, you can see the abyss on the bottom of the sea from a high altitude into the sea. There is a huge area under the abyss, long before the eternal night, it was a famous diving spot.
Now the diving bell has been lowered to a depth of 35 meters, and the two are suspended in the sea water. Their current position is directly above the dark abyss. Less than fifteen meters below, is the dark abyss.
“It’s near the coral reefs.” Jian Shenxiu heard the coach say in the headset.
“Hmm…maybe it was a previous collision. Your current position is a little bit off from our expected position. But not much. You can dive directly at this position without affecting the established target.”
“Won’t it affect it?”
Seeing that Shenxiu frowned slightly, he asked softly, he didn’t like this kind of feeling of making do.
“Yes, I don’t really think about it. The diving bell and the one connected to the hull by cables won’t drift too much. In fact, it’s only about five meters. It’s within the acceptable range.”
“Okay. Let’s continue diving then.”
Seeing that Shenxiu was no longer obsessed with this question, he just turned his head to look at Markesias next to him, and gestured for him to dive.
In fact, there is still communication between them. But just like a habit, after diving into the deep sea, it is natural to start using gestures to communicate.
Markesias, who was floating next to him, also nodded to him, indicating that he received it.
“I’ve connected the cables to the diving bell below. And… haven’t the fish come back yet?”
Xi Wei was also answering on the other end of the phone, but she was talking, and suddenly asked like this, looking a little worried.
“…No, I don’t know the reason yet.”
Seeing God Xiu paused before replying.
“On a dive like this, not having a school of fish nearby is not a good thing.”
Schools of fish are the masters here and they have the deepest knowledge of the ocean. And places where fish schools actively avoid are often full of crises.
“…”
So the channel was quiet for a few seconds, and no one spoke for a while. It’s like sea water absorbs all the noise.
Fortunately, there was no accident during this sinking. The silent diving bell sank slowly along the released steel cable. Seeing Shenxiu and Marchesias surrounding it, slowly pulling it direction, correcting its falling path. It is not easy to move such a several-ton metal bell body on land, but it can be moved at will in water.
The water depth is 50 meters, their current position is under the guidance of the diving instructor in the communication, and they soon arrived at the target position.
Looking from here to both sides, you can already see the seabed next to it, and the coral reefs growing from top to bottom on the stone walls on both sides of the crack. However, it was still pitch black when looking down, like a huge mouth devouring everything, which made people shiver subconsciously.
Even those people on the boat trembled slightly when they saw the scene ahead. Seeing the abyss enlarging in front of his eyes, he felt an inexplicable fear of being swallowed up.
“…Our department has arrived at the designated location.”
Grabbing the diving bell next to him and looking at the abyss below, even Jian Shenxiu’s tone changed slightly, showing a little vigilance. This depth is already the depth at which they began to detect abnormal substances before.
A strong sense of crisis began to surge into Jian Shenxiu’s heart, but he didn’t show it, he just stroked his helmet slightly, and whispered into the communicator.
“Please advise.”
