Chapter Index

    He fell from the sky ②

    Lu Rong followed the ocean current and entered the calm deep sea. The storm above the sea moved away from him, and even the monitoring of Fenier was disconnected.

    X01 crawled on the ground uneasily, “Will that person be dangerous? Is there really no need to notify Eros?”

    Lu Rong closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No, that person won’t hurt him. He also needs to make some choices of his own.”

    This is like a gamble with all the chips, and it is also a test to find the bottom line.

    Did he choose to stay of his own free will, or was he forced to stay?Lürong was not sure to what extent Fenier relied on him. Would he give up the chance of freedom?If he wanted to stay on Water Source, it might be a good decision. People here respected him so much and he would be treated well.

    The deeper his thoughts deepened, the darker Lu Rong’s face became. X01 sensed that he was not in a good mood, and stopped talking annoyingly. He quietly huddled aside and waited. Just when the atmosphere in the submarine reached its lowest level, the entire submarine suddenly experienced a slight vibration.

    The vibration was very subtle. Lu Rong glanced at the radar and sonar monitoring alertly, but there was no response. However, the submarine soon vibrated again, this time more obvious than the last time. Then the red light in the submarine flashed, and the early warning system responded. The alarm sounded: “Warning! The tail is hit!”

    As the siren blared, the submarine vibrated again, and real-time footage from behind was transmitted. In the deep, silent sea, water flowed silently forward wrapped in gravel, constantly hitting the tail of the submarine.Lu Rong immediately realized that this was rubble in the trench at the rear that was being carried away from the trench by the huge ocean current, and happened to collide with the hull of the ship. He controlled the submarine to sink quickly to avoid this wave of ocean current.

    After descending about 10 meters, the submarine entered the current in another direction, and the seafloor became quiet.

    Lu Rong glanced at the time, it was already 6:32.

    According to common sense, those rubbles should sink directly to the bottom of the sea. Lu Rong guessed that Nishi might have misjudged the strength of the ocean currents when calculating the time, causing the boulders to be blown into pieces too much, so that too many rubbles were carried away by the ocean currents. The submarine’s early warning system was not sensitive to this kind of activity and the relatively small rubbles.

    X01 also quickly analyzed the same result as Lu Rong: “There are many fine gravels mixed in the ocean current. Such sea conditions are not suitable for submarine navigation, and the possibility of accidents increases.”

    As soon as X01 finished speaking, Eros’ communication came in, “What’s going on?”

    Lu Rong quickly described the situation.

    Eros thought for a moment, “Do you want to come up first? Or continue to move forward? This sea condition is indeed too complicated, otherwise we should wait until the ocean current becomes smaller before going.”

    Lürong is actually already in the process of going deep into the Icarus Trench and is already close to the anchorage of the underwater warehouse. It is estimated that it will take another three or four days to return.At this time, he suddenly felt a little lucky that he didn’t bring Fenier with him. In this case, Fenier might have to persuade him to go back.

    But Fenier was not there. After careful consideration, Lürong said, “I’ll go a little further and have a look. If there’s still a lot of gravel, I’ll retreat.” He was already there, and he didn’t want to give up.

    After hearing this, Eros said, “Okay, report the situation at any time.”

    Lu Rong said “hmm” and asked again: “How is it at the Fuyuan Base?”

    Eros knew that he was asking about the flame bug, “No problem for the time being. It may be due to the storm. There is a little restlessness, but there is no obvious agitation. The feathered snake is very conscientious and set up camp at the entrance.”

    Lu Rong was relieved and continued to go deeper. X01 also increased his vigilance. He connected to the submarine’s system and monitored the surrounding situation at all times instead of the mechanical system. However, it was only after connecting that he discovered that some parts of the submarine were in the system’s blind spot and he could not detect it.

    The closer we got to the underwater warehouse, the more turbid the water became. Although the explosion did not cause any vibrations on the sea floor, it obviously muddied the nearby sea water. The gravel was wrapped in mud and hit the submarine, making a muffled sound.

    The closer to the warehouse, the lower the visibility. Lu Rong frowned and began to consider whether to turn back.X01 was floating aside, monitoring the submarine data. He found that the speed of one side of the propeller was slowing down, so he quickly adjusted the propeller speed to make both sides equal, and at the same time began to scan the submarine to investigate the cause.

    The submarine was already approaching the predetermined position. Lu Rong could even vaguely see the open entrance not far away through the periscope. Just as he was about to adjust the direction and drive the submarine in through the entrance, the submarine shook violently and a warning popped up: “Warning! Right propeller failure!”

    At the same moment, X01’s investigation ended, and he popped out of the system, “No! The thruster is stuck in the gravel!”

    Lu Rong took over the propeller and adjusted the speed by hand in an attempt to stabilize the submarine’s course, but failed.

    “Warning! Right propeller failure!” A red light flashed inside the submarine.

    X01: “We have to go out and clear the obstacle! Can you still control the submarine to hover? I can go out and clear it, but not in the forward state. My body will be blown away.”

    Lu Rong tried to hover. The submarine made a loud noise and began to tilt and rotate to the right. The items in the cabin were staggered and scattered all over the floor. He quickly adjusted to the forward mode, but due to the failure of the right propeller, the direction of the submarine began to turn to the right and could not be adjusted back to the original course.

    “Warning! Right propeller failure!”

    “Warning! Departure from scheduled course!”

    The submarine frequently called the alarm, and Lu Rong realized the seriousness of the problem. If the submarine could not adjust back, it would directly hit the cliff of the trench. Once the submarine was damaged, at the current depth, he would not be able to return to the sea surface at all, and the situation was urgent.

    X01: “We can’t even go back if this continues…” X01’s body flashed with light, and he began to quickly browse the material catalog in the submarine system.

    Eros’ communication came in: “What’s going on over there?”

    After Lu Rong tried to adjust the course again and failed, he unfastened his seat belt and stood up. “The propeller failed and the sediment blocked it. I can’t control the course, but I’m going to the warehouse soon.”

    “I’m coming down to pick you up now.” Eros said, and there was the sound of people moving over there.

    X01: “I found the emergency diving equipment, Mr. Lu!”

    “Don’t come, Eros.” Lu Rong refused. He immediately found the submarine’s diving equipment according to the index given by X01 and began to wear it. “I dived in and drove the underwater warehouse directly up. This submarine cannot be controlled and may collide with the trench. It took you too long to come down. I can’t wait for you. What will happen after the collision is completely uncontrollable. You must be prepared at the Recovery Base.”

    Their original plan was to drive the submarine into the underwater warehouse. The underwater warehouse is larger and can rise in parallel with the current submarine. However, now the first plan cannot be realized and they can only abandon one of them.

    Eros is speechless, this is indeed the best plan.The collision was inevitable, and he turned around to inform Kaos to prepare for the worst.

    The depth and temperature of the trench are different from those of ordinary sea areas, and ordinary diving equipment cannot cope with it. The submarine has a hard diving suit, which is adapted to the deep sea environment and is safer.With the help of X01, Lu Rong quickly put on the hard diving suit.

    After making all preparations, Lu Rong contacted Eros for the last time: “I’m leaving, Eros.”

    “Be safe.” Eros replied.

    Lu Rong smiled: “We’d better pray that the quality of this underwater warehouse passes the standard and it won’t fall into disrepair.”

    Eros also smiled, “Waiting for you to come back.”

    Lu Rong turned off the communication, walked to the buffer cabin of the submarine, closed the inner door, opened the water inlet, and seawater poured into the buffer cabin. After the water was filled, the buffer cabin slowly connected to the outside world, and the pressure gradually rose to the same depth as the current sea area. Lü Rong adjusted his own pressure and buoyancy, positioned the direction of the entrance to the warehouse, turned on the light source, opened the door of the buffer cabin, and dived into the deep sea.

    The deep sea in the early morning was so dark that there was no rain, no wind, and no clear reference. It was like entering the body of a sleeping giant, with only the cold silence and the sound of my own breathing.

    Lu Rong breathed slowly. The light source above his head shot into the distance and was quickly swallowed up by darkness. He glanced around and initially judged that the visibility was only about 3 meters. Occasionally, small fish swam past him. The diving watch indicated that the water temperature was only 15°C. He confirmed the direction and position of the warehouse again, then started the propeller behind him and headed towards the entrance of the underwater warehouse.

    The deep sea is silent. Lu Rong is like the only creature in this pure black picture, walking forward with the only light. The darkness behind him is not as peaceful as it seems. It seems that a giant creature will jump out from the depths of the trench at any time.

    I don’t know if it was due to the influence of Fenier’s scales, but Lürong rarely saw fish along the way. He held the propeller steadily, and occasionally felt the strong ocean current pushing against his movements, trying to take him away from the intended direction. However, he slowly adjusted the propeller, shook his flippers, fought against the ocean current, and gradually approached the entrance to the warehouse, and finally hooked a hand on the side wall of the trench.

    Before entering through the gap at the entrance of the warehouse, Lu Rong glanced behind him. At the end of the light was darkness. He could no longer see the shadow of the submarine, and he had no idea where the submarine was now. He did not dare to delay for too long, fearing that the inevitable impact would bring more changes, so he turned and entered the gap.

    This gap was called a gap, but it was actually very wide and deep. It was just a gap compared to the entire trench. After entering, the inside was darker than the outside, but there were many more fish. Lürong swam quietly deep into the gap, with fish swarming around him, but they all bypassed him, forming a huge circle with a group of flashing fish mixed in. The light emitters on their bodies floated around as they swam, providing Lürong with a little light source.

    In this cold blue light source, Lu Rong slowly swam deep into the gap, approaching the core of the underwater warehouse.

    This underwater warehouse was different from what Lu Rong thought. It was like a huge submarine parking lot. A large group of flashing fish gathered in the warehouse to act as light and shadow, illuminating the scene in the warehouse. 20 submarines were neatly arranged in the empty cave, like 20 coffins in the empty darkness. Lu Rong soon saw the submarine he was looking for. It was the largest one. It parked there quietly, with the emblem of the empire engraved on it, like a silent giant sea fish.

    The good news is that this submarine is different from the one just now. It can be seen from the appearance that it is an empire model and must be much more advanced than the Suiyuan star model. Lu Rong quickly found the entrance and opened the door of the submarine that had been sealed for a long time with his bare hands.

    Less than half an hour later, Lu Rong entered the buffer cabin again. After nearly an hour of decompression, Lur Rong took off his diving suit and opened the door to the interior of the submarine.

    After walking through a dark transition area, Lu Rong once again opened a fully enclosed door and walked into the main part of the submarine.

    The moment he stepped into it, he was illuminated, not by lights, but by another piece of light. Countless star cores were placed in this area. The orange light covered the light inside the submarine. Their light was as eternal as stars, shining like countless stars in the night sky.

    Lu Rong stood quietly for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was smiling. He raised his hand and brushed the shells of the star cores, as if he had returned home.

    Lu Rong waved his hand, and X01 quickly counted the quantity, “965 Munch doses is almost all we are short of.”

    X01 is connected to the core system of the submarine. “This system is much more advanced and comprehensive. Only the communication system seems to have some problems. It keeps showing that it is not in the service area. To be on the safe side, I have full access to the operation. Shall we go?”

    “Let’s go.” Lu Rong came to his senses. He walked through the star core display area in a few steps, walked into the operation room, sat down, and fastened his seat belt. “Has the impact already happened?” he asked.

    X01 paused for a while and replied: “It has happened. Look at the records. Just when you were decompressing, the submarine detected an unknown shock wave.”

    Lu Rong’s hand rested on the joystick, his expression a bit solemn, he didn’t know what impact this impact would have.
