Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk - Chapter Forty-Two
“You can take out the reagents in the bag. One is enough.”
Xi Wei looked at the endless darkness on the screen, and her heart trembled for a moment. After hearing Jian Shenxiu’s words, he said quickly.
“This depth is already the depth at which we have detected abnormal substances before. We use the detection agent and proceed to the next step based on the reaction of the detection agent.”
“Break directly?”
Seeing that Shenxiu took out the test tube from his bag, looked at the orange-yellow liquid in the test tube in his hand, and frowned slightly.
This test tube is unique, its curved structure can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea. However, the solution… if you break it like this, it will dissolve directly in the water, right? There is a huge amount of seawater around here, not to mention that it can increase the fluorescence effect by 300 times, even if it can increase by 30 billion times, a mere reagent is nothing but negligible, right?
“The person in charge of Fanxing Technology said that it does not dissolve in water, and that it is denser than water, and has a higher solubility for target substances than seawater.”
As if guessing the doubts about seeing Shenxiu, Xi Wei said in the channel.
“Have you ever seen a raw egg in seawater? It looks like that. The liquid will form a spherical shape in the seawater, and then sink slowly due to gravity. When it touches the target substance during the sinking process, it will absorb the target substance Come in, and get brighter.”
“It doesn’t have to be explained to me specifically in action.”
Seeing that Shenxiu heard the words, he directly lowered his head, looked at the test tube in his hand, and immediately grasped both ends of the test tube with two hands wrapped in diving suits.
“Understanding the principle is a matter for you professionals, and the execution department is only responsible for action.”
Then, with a light force, when the strength of both hands reached a certain limit, they suddenly broke apart crisply along the incision left in advance.
[boom——]
If it was in the air, there would probably be such a sound, right? Jian Shenxiu looked at the test tube in his hand and thought so. But in fact it didn’t. The moment the glass snapped, the sea water absorbed all the sound, and the broken test tube gave him only the silent tactile sensation on his fingers.
In the next second, the gas in the test tube turned into bubbles and flowed out quickly upwards. The sea water rushed into the test tube along the break of the test tube, and the orange liquid in the test tube was swept out from the inside by the impact of the surging sea water. It overflows at the break, and then flows down in thin strips.
“…!”
So I really saw that almost the moment the solution touched the seawater, there were dots of bright light rising in the solution, which were the fluorescence produced by the excited strange substances. Seeing Shenxiu’s expression suddenly changed. Immediately looked around vigilantly.
The sea water around them was already filled with that weird target substance! Its content in the seawater is far higher than they expected, and their current location…is surrounded by that thing!
In an instant, this empty sea area became extremely terrifying. The deep darkness surrounded them all around. The life that should have been here has been far away from them. , what exactly is hidden. The whole world seemed to be left with only the two of them and the diving bell beside them.
“Ship Department, can you see it?”
Even in the quiet sea area where no one was around or even fish schools, seeing the dots of light in the solution, Jian Shenxiu still lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing some existence in the shadows.
“We’ve come to the right place.”
…
“I see.”
Seeing the scene on the screen, Xi Wei’s fingers curled up obviously, and then, as if thinking of something, she immediately reminded her.
“Be careful not to let your body touch that thing. Reagent No. 7 can dissolve in the foam rubber of your diving suit and will not have any effect, but it will be absorbed by your diving suit.”
“Oh, I see.”
Jian Shenxiu’s reply came quickly, and the hand that Jian Shenxiu placed next to the reagent could be seen on the screen immediately pulled away a little.
“Be careful, the situation is slightly different from what we expected.”
Xi Wei looked at the fluorescent light sources on the screen that were still very clear even under the dim lens, and as the reagents slowly sank, there were more and more fluorescent light sources. He frowned slightly.
“According to our estimation, at a depth of 50 meters, the concentration of the target substance should be very low, and the current reaction… is somewhat obvious.”
“Well, I noticed that too.”
Jian Shenxiu replied softly in the channel.
…
“Let’s lower the diving bell, we continue to dive.”
Seeing the solution sinking further and further away in the seabed, Jian Shenxiu continued speaking to the communication.
“Okay, be careful.” Xi Wei’s voice came from the communication, and soon the diving bell’s cable started to move again, and gradually descended with the two people’s figures.
“gentlemen……”
However, at this moment, Marchesias next to him suddenly spoke, and made a soft sound beside him.
“I’m here, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Shenxiu, he immediately turned his head and asked him.
“I feel something…” Marchesias whispered, the boy seemed to frown. Seeing through the mask of the diving suit, Shenxiu couldn’t see his expression clearly, but he could see him looking around, as if he was wary of something.
“But it’s very vague, very far away. It gives me a… indescribable feeling.”
“Is it far away? Can you roughly feel in which direction?”
Seeing that Shenxiu didn’t let go of the vague feeling in his partner’s mouth, he knew that the young man had some very special insight, and immediately became vigilant.
“I can’t tell, it seems to be below. And…it’s strange.” The boy’s voice hesitated. “It’s dangerous, but it seems that there is no malice.”
“Is it below? Let’s go down and take a look, right?” Jian Shenxiu took a deep breath, and then made a decisive decision.
“Then pay attention to vigilance and prepare for battle. Let’s dive!”
So he stopped hesitating at all, and the two of them followed the diving bell to break through the water layer and head down. In the deep sea area, the figures of the two kept dropping, and the depth kept increasing.
…
80 meters.
90 meters.
100 metres.
“Yes, in this direction, there will be reefs ahead on the left side, which can be avoided.”
The diving instructor has been guiding the two people to dive, and the instrument panel in the command room of the cabin shows that the depth of the two people is constantly increasing. As the depth increases, the seawater also surges crazily, and every ten meters you dive will increase the pressure by one atmosphere, and finally even come to multiple digits. Under the huge water pressure, the eardrums were so painful that they had to rely on deep breathing to balance the pressure. The breathing sound of the two people in the channel became more and more obvious, and even the people on board could faintly hear the dull throbbing in the blood vessels in that channel. heartbeat.
However, if you look at it from the screen coming from the front, you can’t see this at all. The camera below the diving bell can clearly capture the figures of the two. Their speed was even accelerating under the huge water pressure, and it was only at this time that they really showed the posture of experienced divers. In the deep deep sea, it is as light as a fish swimming. Even the muffled beating of the heart was but a strong proof of their actions. Because even at such a depth… they are still breathing through their noses in the masks!
It wasn’t until this moment that Xi Wei realized how absurd her worries about these two people were. She actually felt that the diving certificates held by such two people were forged. People like Shenxiu should not be questioned at all, because he is so proud that he never bothers to lie.
“Mr. Jianshen’s swimming style…is very capable.”
The swimming instructor next to him looked at the two people on the screen and subconsciously praised him. He is an experienced diving instructor, but even he rarely saw someone with such a brisk swimming style. What’s more, those two people are still in the deep sea with a depth of 100 meters. He asked himself that even he himself might not be able to reach this level.
“I really don’t know where Mr. Jianshen learned such a technique. A person with such a technique should have a great reputation in the diving circle of Xue Jianze.”
This is the truth and flattery, but Jian Shenxiu, who is swimming like a fish in the sea now, does not need this kind of truth and flattery, this is for Xi Wei who is next to him. Anyone who is not blind can see what the female police officer next to her thinks about her boss. The chief inspector could see the clear tension on her face every time she paused in the communication.
“…”
However, I didn’t expect Xi Wei to be stunned after he said this sentence, no one saw Xi Wei’s fingers trembling violently in the sleeve. She suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this matter – it was time. After the eternal night, Xue Jianze has not conducted any deep diving activities for five years, and the deep sea is so quiet that even the diving instructor can only change his job and go home to take care of his children. However, Jian Shenxiu and Marchesias have saturation diver certificates. Not to mention seeing the gods, he was still a junior high school student five years ago at Markeshas’ age. No one would issue a diving certification to a junior high school student, let alone such an extremely dangerous activity as saturation diving.
This is an extremely professional sport, and all those who hold this certificate should be prestigious elites in the industry. However, the two of them seemed to appear out of nowhere, as if no one had ever heard of them. The more critical point is that as saturation divers, they are not familiar with the terrain of the diving site at their doorstep! To actually need others to guide them when performing such a task, it is as ridiculous as someone would need a guide to guide them in the lobby of their own house!
But they do know how to swim, and they are absolute athletes.
Looking at the two vigorous figures in the camera, Xi Wei suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, no matter what the situation was, at least these two people were indeed excellent swimmers. The mission is still going on, and they do have the ability to complete the mission.
…
120 meters.
130 meters.
140 meters.
150 meters.
This is already undoubtedly the deep sea, and time is running out. The cables they could prepare were not long enough. The diving bell can only stay in this position, and then must rely on their own diving. Jian Shenxiu opened his backpack to grind out the last test tube containing the enhanced No. 7 reagent. The first few test tubes in the dive along the way have all been used up, and now he only has the last one left.
This reagent can activate the fluorescence effect of the target substance by an astonishing three hundred times.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have noticed something strange, and suddenly stopped what he was doing, and turned his gaze to the darkness below.
It was dark there. Can’t see anything. However, the inspector with excellent eyesight seemed to have discovered something, and the face under the mask was full of shock.
“Xi Wei.” He suddenly said softly.
At this depth, in order to reduce the effect of nitrogen narcosis, the compressed gas he breathes has been replaced with heliox gas, which makes his voice sound a bit like a duck quacking. But Xi Wei could still hear surprise from his voice, as if she had discovered something unusual.
“Turn off the lights,” he said.
“What?” Xi Wei on the boat was full of disbelief.
“Turn off the searchlight on the diving bell.”
Seeing that Shenxiu repeated it again, this time he was serious, with an unquestionable taste in his words.
So Xi Wei didn’t dare to hesitate, and the searchlights on the diving bell quickly went out one after another. Every time a lamp is extinguished, the dark and boundless deep sea becomes a little darker. Neither of them even turned on the deep-sea flashlights on their bodies. In just a few seconds, the already dark sea area completely restored the darkness of ignorance.
This is what this deep sea should have looked like, filled with darkness and silence. When these intruders extinguished the “fire fold” they carried with them, they were surrounded by this dark truth again.
So in this darkness, Jian Shenxiu saw it.
Not only did he see Shenxiu, but he also saw it from the camera connected to his head and the communication side.
They made a mistake. Reagent No. 7 can enhance the fluorescence reaction of this strange substance by three hundred times. Let it emit a stronger light, but they overlooked a problem, what they are looking for is the source of the weird energy. And the place with a high concentration of weird energy—it should be glowing in the first place! They had already dived to a position where they could see it, but the light was covered by the strong light of the searchlights near them before, and now it was finally exposed!
Under the gaze of the two, at the end of the darkness, in the deepest part of the deep ocean, piled up like a lake——
It is countless fluorescence.
