Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Coral Reef

Ling Duyu was dressed in diving attire, so tired that his movements became sluggish. According to Huokeshen, his equipment has been available for less than a year, and it is the most advanced product for deep-sea diving. You can buy one just for the compression suit. small yacht. The lead weight belt commonly used by divers is replaced by a jet propeller installed on the back together with compressed air, which allows him to rise and fall freely in the sea. Because of this convenience, the fins are shortened; With the increase of force, the compressed oxygen cylinder is also enlarged. The transparent hood that has not been worn will be connected with the anti-pressure body armor in a screw-type way, and a powerful spotlight with adjustable irradiation range is also installed on the item, which can be said to be impeccable in design.

He raised the compass worn on his left wrist, and the depth gauge and diving watch worn on his right wrist. After checking, his eyes returned to the shell-like arched window in front of the submarine. The submarine dived obliquely downward. The spotlight installed in front of the boat revealed a halo of light, allowing him to clearly see all kinds of sea fish fleeing in fright, as well as the curious people attracted by the strong light. The submarine's depth gauge at this time showed a depth of just over 3,000 meters, but the bottom of the sea was still out of reach. The "acoustic detector" reacted slightly.

Ling Duyu amplified the received sound waves. "Woo..." Strange long chimes came into the ears one after another. Each ringing is slowly turned from low to high, and then suddenly stopped. Ling Duyu thought to himself that it seemed to be the cry of some kind of fish. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, and then he had a flash of inspiration and almost called out: it was the cry of a whale. Since the history of navigation, human beings have been attracted by the mysterious and sad songs of whales. What are they calling for?And it was calling in this direction. A group of slap-sized unknown strange fishes with lines all over their bodies crossed the front like a cloud, completely blocking his sight. It strenuously flicked up and down in all directions, and quickly disappeared into the darkness beyond the reach of the spotlights.

Four thousand meters. Ling Duyu turned on the spotlights on the left and right sides, and the world outside the left and right side windows turned from dark to bright, and the strange and moving world under the deep sea contained him. He pressed the communicator and called to the Wavebreaker. The microphone was hoarse, indicating that Xia Xin hadn't finished his kennel yet. 5,500 feet... 6,000 meters... The bottom of the sea finally appeared in the shining of strong light. Endless deep-sea green dinoflagellates grow out of the hilly coral reefs, and are swaying under the impact of the submarine current. A giant electric eel with a length of six meters does not know where it came from. It came out, skimmed over the bow of the boat, and disappeared like a bolt of lightning.

Ling Duyu adjusted the submarine to be parallel to the bottom of the water, and slowly advanced on the dinoflagellates. At the same time, he opened up the four spotlights on the bottom of the boat, like spotlights on a stage, illuminating a large circle of light on the bottom of the sea below. It is those fluttering seaweeds and leisurely deep-sea creatures. He activated all detection equipment and began to search in the deep black and endless seabed. It's a dizzyingly strange world. There is almost no fish he can name. The green algae are replaced by yellow algae, and their distribution is relatively sparse. Many deep-sea plants rise and fall unevenly. A giant flat fish with glowing spots like the soles , with slightly protruding eyes, swaying leisurely, half of his body buried in the soft mud of the seabed, as if he would never move.

Ling Duyu looked at the water temperature gauge, and the pointer was at 2.65 degrees Celsius. The submarine circled slowly on the bottom of the sea, gradually expanding the scope of the search. An hour later, he had carefully searched the seabed with a radius of nearly two kilometers, but there was still no trace of Xiao Manzi's small submarine, and there was not much time left. Ling Duyu couldn't help becoming anxious, which was a very rare emotion for him. Undulating, like the seabed algae decorated with countless majestic and beautiful "sculptures", it is still endless.

The terrain suddenly sloped down. The submarine is like jumping into the void from a lonely high cliff, the beautiful seaweed and coral reefs disappear without a trace, only the halo pillars and illuminated sea water shot from the left, right, front and bottom of the submarine, and the water in the water are left. Impurities that dissolve into dust. The submarine came to the top of a trench. A strange feeling rose in Ling Duyu's heart, as if something was waiting for him below, he dived down instead of being surprised. The pressure gauge showed that the submarine was under a pressure of 112 atmospheres, which made him dare not rush forward despite his anxiety, and dived at a low speed of three meters per second.

At 8:17, he had just over an hour left to complete the rescue mission. Nine thousand meters... The submarine trembled like a terrified person. Ling Duyu thought that the submarine could not withstand the pressure and was about to burst. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and all the lights were completely turned off. The sub spun like a hula hoop. A strange whistling sound filled my ears. In extreme dizziness and pain, Ling Duyu knew that the magic current was coming. The rotation gradually slowed down. But huge pressure is coming from all directions. Physically, he felt the multiplied pressure, but the mental feeling was even more uncomfortable.

That would be like throwing the soul into fiery purgatory. Thousands of sensations, including Ruo Zefei's sharp needles, were chaotically stabbing in his brain nerves. Suddenly he understood the terrible feeling before going crazy. But pain returns to pain, but in this extreme pain, he was pleasantly surprised that his spiritual realm was constantly expanding. That is also the realm that people in the Zen way devote themselves to pursuing all their lives. In an instant, his brain seemed to explode. Thoughts and senses erupted like melting, escaping from the usual confinement. Ling Duyu trembled all over.

No fear and panic. Because he understands what is happening now. A creature living in the deep sea is trying to "talk" to Ling Duyu through some kind of contact beyond understanding. The fisherman is not wrong. He was right from the start. The magic flow is indeed a living spiritual thing—— A kind of fetish that has never been touched by humans, but has always existed. People may have seen some indirect signs, but based on self-righteousness, no one would have imagined that there are beings far more powerful than them on the earth. But right now— Ling Duyu became the first human being to come into contact with him.

The fisherman was one of the rare humans who knew of his existence. He had followed him, and now he came back with malicious intentions, and he was directly targeting the fire algae related to him. So he wanted the fisherman to die. When the fisherman died, the storm calmed down. All he seems to want is the death of the insider. Now that he has seen through his existence, how will he treat him? In absolute darkness, sinking continuously. All the world inside and outside Ling Duyu was trembling and shaking. Like everything turned upside down. He couldn't help screaming: "What are you doing?" "boom!" The sky and the earth split apart. He saw a bolt of lightning piercing through the air. Strange scenes, one after another, rose in the mind, with all the sounds and colors. He is in contact with him. But Ling Duyu didn't understand the deep meaning of the beautiful image he saw? He had no idea what he was "saying" at all. Ling Duyu screamed in his heart: "I don't understand!" "Peng!" The downtrend ends. The submarine descended to the ground. Did it reach the bottom of the sea? Ling Duyu sat down cross-legged and became the first person to meditate on the quiet seabed nearly 10,000 meters below. This will be his first and last peaceful contact with this intelligent life in the deep sea, otherwise he will use all possible violence to break out of the submarine and look for Xiao Manzi and Mo Ge. Ling Duyu's mind was clear, and he passed on his first thought, which was "Why?" This may be the easiest question among human beings to ask but also the hardest to answer. Ling Duyu felt hot all over, and tens of thousands of strange sensations flowed through his brain, but he couldn't grasp the meaning at all. They can't understand each other at all. Ling Duyu's thoughts suddenly extended, as if contacting another life through a certain medium. Ling Duyu felt familiar. Then he saw himself. It was an angle of looking up from the bottom. Ling Duyu was wearing an old-fashioned suit, standing against the wind, with excitement shining in his eyes, overlooking the sea. Ling Duyu almost jumped up. Isn't this what Xiao Manzi saw shortly after "Breaking the Waves" set sail. He got it! The deep-sea creature connected him with the soul of Xiao Manzi who didn't know where he was, because Xiao Manzi was also a person with super senses. When he felt Xiao Manzi, Xiao Manzi also felt him, but unfortunately they didn't know how to "talk" in this situation. Ling Duyu finally saw him. The submarine was lying on the river bed, and in front of it stood a bright object that looked like a honeycomb but was as huge as a mountain. The fire algae that they searched so hard grew out of his body in tens of millions, like a fire. It glowed red, making him look like a fiery sun hidden in the deep sea, illuminating the vast and boundless abyss a blood red. Groups of various deep-sea fish and creatures are interspersed in the fire algae that can change the entire energy history, creating a leisurely scene. Several magic currents swam around him continuously, like a loyal dog wrapped around his master's feet. Ling Duyu knows that this is the real "he", and Moliu is just his "hand" that can reach any corner of the sea. He is the god who dominates the ocean, taking care of everything from birth to death. Ling Duyu picked up the hood, put it on his head tightly, and turned on the oxygen delivery button, allowing air to be sent into his lungs through the inhaler inside the hood. Ling Duyu tried his best to calm himself down, then unscrewed the "disc lock" leading to the diving room, closed the door, and started the preparation procedure for leaving the submarine in the deep sea without wasting any time. In the sealed small room, the air was gradually sucked out, and the seawater poured in from the small hole opened at the bottom with a "gurgling" sound. Ling Duyu looked at his watch. Eight forty-five. Xiao Manzi and the others still have thirty-five minutes of oxygen. Water finally filled the room. Under the balance of internal and external pressure, Ling Duyu easily opened the exit, and used the ejector to bounce out to a world where no human has ever set foot. The tremendous pressure at the depth of the water made his heart beat faster, dizziness and hand tremors. Only thanks to the anti-pressure clothing with automatic adjustment function made of soft alloy fibers and liquid gas, he did not really turn into a meatloaf. With his extraordinary physique and perseverance, Ling Duyu quickly overcame the feeling of dizziness, slowly increased his speed, and headed towards this huge monster with fire algae growing on its body and covered with tentacles. The closer you get to the temple, the more you feel that the huge jade-like crystal clear flat coral reefs under the fire algae are so spectacular. This coral reef is the most spiritual and powerful great life in the sea. When man chose the land, he chose the sea. A magic flow shot out from one of his reef holes, circled behind Ling Duyu, and then caught up with Ling Duyu. When the water hit Ling Duyu, Ling Duyu was lightened, and the magic flow took him After advancing tens of meters like clouds and fog, the magic flow left him and went around behind him. He is just the part that sticks out of the ground, taller than any skyscraper.The body made of huge grains of red light flows into the fire algae, making the fire algae burn like fire.Full of surging energy. Ling Duyu finally reached the indescribable "he". He ascended along the forest-like fireweed. The fire algae lightly lightened his body like a spiritual Buddha, and every time it swept across, it brought a sense of joy and peace. Although they could not really talk— But Ling Duyu already understood him, just as he understood Ling Duyu, it was an unprecedented contact that surpassed all human experience. He used himself as a bridge to enable Ling Duyu and Xiao Manzi, two super-sensory human beings, to convey their thoughts and profound feelings to each other, allowing him, who has always been hostile to human beings, to glimpse the most noble that human beings can achieve. The sentiment of self-sacrifice is like the cartoon story of the kissing fish and the fisherman. Since the advent of human beings, all he has witnessed is human beings wantonly destroying nature, polluting the ocean, killing marine life, or killing each other, all for their own selfishness. He couldn't understand the stupidity of human beings at all, but when Ling Duyu and Xiao Manzi let him see the noble side of human beings for the first time, he understood that human beings also have something respectable. So he released Ling Duyu and asked him to save people. He will continue to reach out to humans until they realize that the universe is not just their private property to do whatever they want, and that even on Earth they are not alone. Ten past nine. Ling Duyu continued to accelerate, and finally reached the top of the "God of the Coral Reef". The dazzling fire algae stretched endlessly on the reef, which was as large as hundreds of golf courses, forming a red glow. Fireweed Great Plains. A small submarine was in the heart of the great plain, entangled in fire algae, unable to move at all, and the inside of the boat was bright. Ling Duyu was about to pass, when a magic current approached from far away, rolled up the submarine, and rushed towards him. An undercurrent is approaching. Ling Duyu dodged away. The submarine stopped just over ten meters away, and the magic flow went away. The lights in the boat were on fire, Xiao Manzi and the "naughty boy" Mo Ge jumped up from their seats in disbelief, staring blankly at the majestic Ling Duyu outside the porthole, both of them put on their hoods and bit their gas ports , sipping only nine minutes of oxygen left. Ling Duyu knew that time was running out, so he gestured "Follow me" to the two experienced divers, and set out on the way back first. The power-recovering small submarine was driven by Xiao Manzi, and followed Ling Duyu. When Ling Duyu's small submarine was in sight, under the urging of survival, Xiao Manzi did not wait for orders, and plundered the submarine at the highest speed he could reach. go. There are still five minutes. The two small submarines are moored side by side like lovers. There are three minutes. At this time Ling Duyu was half a mile away from them, and could only watch them struggle for their own survival. Xiao Manzi and Mo Ge squeezed into the diving room together. There were two minutes left before the water came to the necks of the two. If the water pressure was not balanced, the water gate would not be able to be pushed open, so no matter how anxious the two were, they could only wait. There is still a minute and a half. Finally filled with water. The two pushed the door out, and the propellers on their backs shot out two streams of air, which turned into two long columns of bubbles, pushing them into the diving room of Ling Duyu's submarine. Only fourteen seconds left. Ling Duyu remembered that when he first arrived on the boat, Mo Ge teased him with a basin of water, asking him to dip his mouth and nose into it and test the length of breath holding time to judge his ability to survive in the water. On Mo Ge's body at this moment. The water falls slowly, much more slowly than the water rushes up. Because to force the water out under the high water pressure under the deep sea, the force required is astonishingly huge. Ling Duyu had three more minutes to arrive. Zero seconds! Mo Ge was the first to suffer from lack of oxygen, and an almost insane panic immediately appeared on his face. It was so close to escaping from birth that it made people feel worthless. Xiao Manzi tapped his hood hard. Mo Ge calmed down in surprise. Then when Xiao Manzi couldn't breathe air, she closed her eyes, trying to calm herself and avoid unnecessary consumption. The water finally pushed the boat overboard. The two rolled into the boat, closed the door, immediately untied the hood as quickly as possible, and lay down softly, doing nothing and thinking about nothing except desperately breathing the incomparably precious air. Ling Duyu picked all the fire algae hanging on their original submarine, stuffed them into the diving room, and entered the boat after going through the same procedure just now. Xiao Manzi fell into his arms, hugged his waist tightly and said, "I didn't plead for you, I just begged him to stir us into fish cakes."
