No.1 VIP bag on the first floor of Pioneer Bridge

See Kelan three people pushed the door and came in. The hound who was drinking tea immediately bounced up from the sofa. Even the precious tea and hot tea in the bone China cup spilled all over the floor and rushed to meet him-
"How did you find anything?"
"No" Kelan shook his head "and things have become more complicated"
Then he recounted what happened in No.9 cargo hold and threw two magnetic cards on the tea table.
"This is the captain’s insistence on giving me a fortress. Every anonymous storage card contains five million old dogs. Take it as compensation for your purchase of equipment."
"Money or not" the hound waved his hand. "Now our problem is not money, nor that black skeleton, nor that weird warning-I just want to know if the device in the video is what we want … if not, I think we have to compare the risks and benefits of this operation again."
The hound paused and looked Koran in the eyes and said, "You were the only one who saw that thing come out of a person’s stomach with your own eyes. If you are not sure …"
"I’m not sure, but from the eyewitness description, the characteristics of the’ device’ in the diving cabin are exactly the same as those of the’ device’ in that settlement." Kelan hesitated for a moment and then replied.
"But no one can guarantee that it’s what we want … actually, that bitch Caroline said that the danger of this sea area is far more than we expected. I’m afraid we won’t be able to come when we want to regret it." The hound sat back on the sofa and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. Natasha was silent. "One side is Ivan’s life, while the other side is you, me, Liao Lang, Leighton, Asano Zhao, Zorig Tu and Natasha’s seven lives. I really want to save Ivan, but I can’t save one person and let others die.
"The failure of an old dog doesn’t necessarily kill us. We may still have a chance to retreat …" Leighton was glared at by the hounds in the middle of his speech.
"There are dozens of water people back and forth. Have they ever had a chance to retreat?" The hound shouted coldly, "The operation will continue, but we have to make sure that there is something we want under the water … can we come back alive after we go?"
"In that thing intelligence has been completely blocked by the security bureau" Kelan turned the VIP package door "but they are not without leaving clues …"
"You mean you met that black skeleton?"
"Well," Kelan nodded. "Things have been brought back by the SOMA consortium, and the analysis report will come out the day after tomorrow. I think it is likely to be related to our goal. In addition, the previous dive sites, hydrological data, sea animal activity rules and other things are still recorded on the ship. I have asked Caroline to copy them for me."
Koran pulled out a fingernail-sized card from his pocket and inserted it into the projector on the coffee table.
"The sacrifice of those people in front is not the value. With these, their lives are exchanged for information. The risk of this operation is not so exaggerated."
A piece of seabed formed by three-dimensional information projection appeared in front of everyone, and a lot of data and remarks were marked in front of them. These information were accumulated little by little in previous explorations. In addition to the dozens of people who died, Pioneer also put in hundreds of human detectors. Although these detectors can successfully recover different things, they still brought back a lot of data.
"These black areas are unexplored areas, and we have to avoid them as much as possible in the next operation, while these red areas are areas where sea animals with high threats are detected. If we rush into them, we are likely to encounter powerful monsters-"
"What about the blue area?" Asked the hound
"The’ relative security area’ is less than the first few people, and no team has an accident in the blue area."
"I don’t think so." The hound shook his head. "There are too few samples, and the data lacks reliability. The seabed environment is so complicated that we can’t guarantee that the Qian ‘an area will always be safe … In terms of sea animals, it’s not to mention that the deep-sea giant eels can compete by the means of weapons in our hands, let alone those that are stronger."
"There are more than one hundred and twenty hours" Kelan looked at his wrist watch "We can try one less"
"You mean … to scout in a small area first and then gradually expand the search scope?"
"Yeah, anyway, we’re not sure whether the deep sea really has what we want. There’s no need to put all our bets on the submerged surface. Even swimming around a hundred meters to find some clues is better than surfing in our cabin." Kelan nodded.
"What you said is very reasonable, but even if it is 100 meters deep, there is no small risk … who will try diving for the first time?" Asked the hound with a serious look
"I’ll go," Kelan immediately said. "Since I came out with the plan, I should carry it out."
It was not until he arrived in Zhonghai that Kelan realized that the action was much more difficult than he thought, otherwise the hound’s opposition would not be so obvious, but since he chose to stick to the first song, he naturally had to bear the risk himself
"Reject" the hound knuckles knocked on the table "No diving experience, no physical quality, no physical strengthening and transformation, and no hard life-saving means … What makes you dive first? To die? "
"It’s not that dangerous to try to dive. I won’t be too far away from the Pioneer. If anything really happens, you can support me." Kelan took a deep breath and then said, "And I am the most familiar with the target among us. I have personally touched that thing … What if someone else misses something?"
A hound tried to refute Koran, but even the hound was silent when Koran said the last reason.
It is true that he is not the most suitable candidate from any aspect, but from this point alone, he is the only optimal solution.
The hound gritted his teeth and thought for two minutes with his head down. Then he vomited a mouthful of polluted air and looked up and said, "Okay, I’ll let you go for the first dive, but … you have to take Liao Lang."
On physical resistance alone, Liao Lang is the strongest among several people in the team and the only one among them who has had many diving experiences in China. If that is excluded, he is the best candidate for the pioneer.
"Yes, boss!"
Chapter 60 dive
Starboard deck of pioneer
The middle sea and sky seem to keep that gloomy color forever, and the thick lead-gray clouds block a lot of light and heat from the stars. With the arrival of dusk, the sea surface temperature drops rapidly, and a small amount of thin ice floes appear around them.
"The weather is cloudy, the sea surface temperature is three degrees, the water temperature is five meters, and the northerly wind is four to four, and the visibility in the water is about meters … To tell the truth, this kind of climate is really not suitable for diving." A crew member assigned to help them frowned and said, "The wind is not too strong, but the light is too dark, and the visibility will get lower and lower, not to mention 100 meters. I estimate that the visibility will be opaque at a depth of fifty meters."
"I want to ask when did you first see a sunny day?" Kelan shoved his feet into the deep diving boots. The catch-up deep diving material is very solid and the weight is naturally exaggerated. These boots alone have exceeded 30 kilograms.
"Er … that seems to be four months ago … no, it should be five months."
"So you’re going to keep us waiting for a few months?"
"No … that’s not what I mean. I just wonder why you don’t dive into the tank. Although this equipment has high defense, it can’t compare with the three-inch thick composite steel shell … and this one is also preparing water? You … are you going to wear this? "
Compared with Kelan, his body is as thick and deep as power armor. Liao Lang wears a diving suit made of reinforced composite fibers. This diving suit is so thin that it shows all the muscle lines of his body. Not only that, his ankle, wrist and neck are not protected, so he is directly exposed to the outside. Compared with Kelan, the deputy armed man, he is no different from swimming naked.
"Why is there a problem?" Liao Lang gave him a puzzled look.
"… of course! Don’t you know that Alpha Xinghai Water is highly toxic? Seawater will not only corrode skin and muscles, but also invade human tissues and lead to organ failure. We usually wear protective covers for deck workers, just for fear of being touched by seawater … "
In his eyes, when Liao Lang finished this costume, he regarded China Shipping as an artificial lake in the Ark Department, and the seawater with comparable chemical weapons and high dose of radiation as the domestic water in the human base after many times of filtration and purification … What’s the difference between wearing such a suit of water and suicide? !
"That’s you and I are different from you," Liao Lang said.
"What’s the difference! Even biochemical transformation is impossible-"the crew member was already choking in the middle of the words because Liao Lang directly climbed over the guardrail and jumped into the sea!
"quick! Get him quickly! " He was stunned first, and then he wanted to press the alarm device not far away. "Maybe you can save your life in two minutes!"
"Wait a minute, buddy, don’t worry." Leighton stifled his smile and stopped the crew with his mechanical arm. "Can’t you take a look first?"
"…" Leighton said that the crew found that Liao Lang was wearing a thin diving and had swam around an ice floe, which didn’t look like poisoning.
"He … he … how is that possible?" He rubbed his eyes vigorously and his face was full of surprise.
"I told you that people are gifted." Kelan couldn’t help laughing. "Well, it’s time to let me go. I can’t jump like him in this thing."
The weight of the set of deep diving equipment has exceeded 200 kilograms. Unlike power armor, this thing is not driven by the skeleton. The completion of water maneuvering depends on 20 sets of paddle propellers installed everywhere, but these things on land are gone.
Even the simple movement of raising your arm is very difficult for Kelan, let alone running and jumping.
Two steel cables are fixed, and the shoulder of deep diving is rotated along with the pulley, and Kelan is hoisted to the middle-this device is used to release and recover the diving cabin, but it can also be used for deep diving in heavy armor with a little modification.
The cantilever with the pulley fixed rotates horizontally for 90 degrees and "carries" Kelan to the outside of the ship’s rail. He looks down and sees the deep and dark water at his feet, as if it were an abyss with no end in sight.
"Get ready to fall!" Leighton gestured to Kelan, and after receiving the confirmation signal, the pulley turned in the opposite direction, and the cable was released again until Kelan was completely submerged in the sea.
"The air tightness is checked, the propeller is checked, and the oxygen pipeline is unblocked." Kelan followed the inspection steps one by one according to the deep diving theory, and Liao Lang swam to his side to help him solve the shoulder fixing lock.
"The heart rate is 7 times, the blood pressure is 74 to 11 mm Hg per minute, and the body temperature is 369 degrees Celsius." Ke Lan glanced at the helmet-mounted side sign monitoring equipment and said.
"Is it nervous to have a slightly fast heart rate?" The sound of hounds comes from headphones, and they can communicate at this distance. When Kelan dives to a certain depth, he will be separated from the water with a lot of radiation and heavy metals, which will become an insurmountable barrier and completely isolate him from the water world.
