Chapter 216 Exploration and Discovery of the Water World Chen Lin has not returned to the outpost base in the past few days. He has been staying at the northern base. His main job every day is to watch Yang Li and the Qinglong team explore the water world.
The diving suits worn by the Qinglong Team are specially made for the military. They can dive to a maximum depth of about 300 meters, and the limit time is about 15 hours. However, they usually come up after diving for about two hours.
Led by its captain Yang Li, the Qinglong Team explored the area under the sea for the first time.
They found a handful of marine life in this area, and the number of fish life was much less than on Earth.
"What's this thing called? Bubble fish?"
Chen Lin looked at the picture that was sent back. The proposed name was already displayed below, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. There was something funny about this name.
However, this fish is shaped like an acute triangle, which is indeed obviously different from the marine life on earth.
"Is this called a dart fish?"
"This is called rabbit fish??"
Chen Lin then saw all kinds of strange marine creatures, and the names were quite unique. They were all called big-eyed fish, small-eyed fish, cave fish, and swallow fish.
"There are not many creatures in the sea below the portal. It is similar to what you guessed in the pictures you saw on the stone gate. It is almost certain that this water world has experienced biological extinction."
The person in charge of the Northern Portal sat in front of Chen Lin and pushed over another piece of information, "We have conducted virus tests on the fish creatures that can be found in this sea area, and found that they are more or less infected with the unknown... Virus."
Chen Lin frowned slightly and asked aloud: "Did Colonel Yang and the members of the Qinglong Team have any uncomfortable reactions today?"
"not yet."
The person in charge shook his head, "They have sent body fluids for testing for a week in a row, and the blood data are all normal... Only one of the team members may have caught a cold because he didn't pay attention at night, and he has some symptoms of a cold today."
Chen Lin raised his head and looked at the person in charge: "Didn't they receive the same vaccinations before they went there? It is unlikely that such symptoms will occur under normal circumstances."
"We also have this idea, so we arranged for that person to have a blood test, and the results will be available soon."
The man in front of him said: "In the news I have received in the past few days, the hallucinations that appeared in front of the team members have been repeatedly mentioned."
Chen Lin didn't know about this before, so he frowned slightly when the person in charge said it: "What kind of hallucination?"
"It's said to be the shadow of some strange-shaped ocean beast."
The person in charge adjusted his glasses and spoke slowly: "At first, Colonel Yang was the only one who was like this. At that time, some people said that he was hallucinating due to staying up late."
"Then a phantom appeared in front of everyone in the Azure Dragon Team... After the news was reported, we guessed that it might not be an illusion, but some kind of creature communicating with them through a special way."
Chen Lin stared at the person in charge for a few times and nodded.
"I agree with your statement. It's most likely communication."
"The team members received the message from this phantom and wanted them to enter the deep sea..."
Chen Lin stopped what he was doing in surprise, squinted his eyes and said, "Could this be a scene from some kind of fairy tale? What kind of fatal temptation to humans by Cthulhu monsters in the deep sea, for this reason?" Deceive life forms into entering the deep sea to serve as their food."
The person in charge immediately laughed.
After a moment, he stopped smiling and continued to speak: "The phantom is currently only described in reports from the Qinglong Team. It cannot be detected with various types of equipment. It should be a spiritual or psychic communication method."
"This is part of the information reported by Colonel Yang. Take a look."
Chen Lin nodded and opened the documents in front of him.
Yang Li carefully recorded the many exchanges between himself and the phantom. The shape of the phantom was described as some kind of huge deep-sea creature, with long luminous tentacles on both sides.
The shadow confirmed Yang Li's identity, and then realized that they were also infected with an unknown virus in this water world. It guided it into the area below 500 meters in the deep sea with a very soft voice. It claimed that it could help them. .
The communication between the two is almost one-sided, because Yang Li can only listen but cannot choose to answer.
"Telepathy."
Chen Lin put down the information, looked at the person in charge in front of him, and said affirmatively: "There is no doubt that there have been aliens on this planet. It is very likely that there are alien spacecraft wreckage and ruins here. If possible, Let the team members look for it along the way."
"As for this mysterious shadow on the seabed, my suggestion is that the outpost prepares deep-sea diving equipment for them. If conditions permit, try to explore as far into the deep sea as possible."
The person in charge nodded slightly. He also had this intention. He came to meet with Chen Lin today to seek advice from Chen Lin, a person with a special status. When the time came to give a work report, Chen Lin's words would be included. It can even have miraculous effects if it is elicited.
It was Chen Lin who discovered the fatal danger in the water world before. In many cases, his talents can play a very special role.
Although Chen Lin is not among those who make the final decision, his suggestions always occupy a very important column.
……
Ocean World.
Yang Li and the team members led by him have successfully explored the surrounding sea area where they are located.
"The depth limit of this sea area is 80 meters, and the depth will continue to increase as you go west."
"No dangerous marine life has been found so far, and the light is pretty good. Shall we continue heading west, captain?"
"Go deeper into the ocean! Contact the outpost and request support for a deep-sea diving device."
"I also saw that phantom. Her voice seemed a bit feminine...could it really be some kind of deep-sea banshee?"
"Haha, if we encounter any Lao Shizi deep-sea banshee, we will directly fire a detonating bomb at her!"
"If that doesn't work, there are portable underwater explosives and individual mines. As long as it is a carbon-based creature with flesh and blood, there is no need to be afraid!"
The group of people spoke so enthusiastically that they put all the fears and worries behind them.
After all, the current situation cannot be worse.
At this time, the three members of the Qinglong Team were following the leader Yang Li along the established route underwater. The sound of oxygen bubbles and water came to their ears. Yang Li, who was leading the team in front, suddenly stopped.
"We have reached the edge of this area." Yang Li pointed to the cliff-like place in front of him and said in a low voice: "The depth in front is estimated to be one dimension deeper than where we are, at least 200 meters higher. , record the terrain.”
"Where's the unmanned equipment? Let's check it out!"
"The light is too dark, I can't see anything clearly... I don't know if there is any danger inside."
"How deep is the place where the shadow takes us?"
"At least it is at a depth of 1500 meters. It is impossible to go to such a deep place without using a submarine... It would be great if we had a submarine like the Jiaolong. At least we can ride that thing to go directly to 1500 meters! "
The discussion among the team members suddenly made Yang Li wake up. He turned to look at the team member who was speaking, and his tone was somewhat excited: "Researcher Xu is right! We can't go on like this anymore, we should just give up on being so useless now." In search of meaning, apply directly to the outpost for a submarine and go straight to the depth of 1500 meters!"
"Didn't the shadow say that we can be saved after we go there? Then we can just give it a try!"
"All members of the Qinglong team are here, surface immediately and return to the temporary base!"
Yang Li only felt that he had rekindled hope. It was really slow to explore below while wearing a diving suit. Wouldn't it be possible to just get on the submarine and have everything?
He didn't even think of such a simple and crude method at first, which was really stupid.
The application from Ocean World was quickly approved by the outpost. A deep-sea submarine was quickly transported from the Red Mountain Base on Earth, and was directly sent to the portal base in the Northern Land through the teleportation array. This way.
Chen Lin was quite surprised by the appearance of this thing. When he came here to watch the fun, he noticed that the deep-sea submarine did not have any weapons and equipment, and it was completely engaged in scientific research.
"Why don't you bring the entire military submarine?"
Chen Lin stood on the side of the person in charge of the base, frowned and said: "The scientific research ship has no weapons. What should we do if we encounter danger after entering the deep sea area?"
The person in charge glanced at Chen Lin and responded with a smile: "Only scientific research ships can normally reach a depth of 1500 meters. Military submarines generally cannot dive this deep."
"As for the weapons, we have people who have the skills. We can just modify them at the worst."
The person in charge said with a smile, "This is very simple for us."
The submarine was equipped with a torpedo launcher provided by the Weapons Research and Development Institute at the Portal Base. It was normally equipped with twelve torpedoes, which was enough for it to launch three rounds.
While Yang Li and his Qinglong team were waiting for the submarine, they thoroughly handled the work on the sea.
With the mission gone for the time being, Yang Li and everyone in the Qinglong Team officially began their exploration of the entire water world.
Yang Li even took his team members on an assault boat and set off due north, and was extremely lucky to find a hidden island in this direction! Yang Li and others immediately reported the discovery of the island to the outpost. They took a large number of pictures and videos, and directly launched a drone to go to the island for preliminary exploration. According to the pictures taken by the drone, , there is no life on the island, there is only a lonely special building.
Yang Li brought a large amount of supplies and personnel to the island again for the second time. After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger on the island, they quickly approached the special black building.
There is nothing outstanding about the shape of the building. It is rectangular in shape and made of some kind of black substance. The only thing that attracts people is that there is a huge turret-like object standing in the middle of the building.
Yang Li and others circled around and successfully found the main entrance of the building. However, they were unable to enter the main entrance of the building. There was some kind of identity confirmation device on the right side of the door.
"Is it locked?"
The members of the Qinglong team in front went up to try and found that the building gate had no response at all.
"It seems like some other key is needed to open it... The question is, where did we get the key?"
"If there are words on it, take a photo of it and send it to the outpost to have it translated."
"Is this an alien ruin? The probability of us encountering this kind of thing is a little higher recently."
"Haha, it's a different world. They are all aliens except us!"
"Let's set up a temporary camp here first. We will spend the night here tonight... It has been more than ten days. It is the first time to sleep on land. It is not easy!"
The pictures taken at the scene were quickly sent back to the outpost and quickly transferred to Chen Lin's mobile phone.
Chen Lin, the only person in the entire outpost, Hongshan Base, and even the association who can really understand these special alien text-like symbols.
"What it says above is the name of the building - the Immunization Execution Platform."
Chen Lin recognized it just by looking at it. He said to the eager researchers beside him: "The words in front are - [Pioneer], and when combined, it is [Pioneer Immune Execution Platform]."
"Immune execution platform?"
After several researchers got this answer from Chen Lin, they looked at each other in confusion: "What does this name mean?"
"Immunity execution, is there a vaccine that can cure the water world virus?"
"Haha, if there was one, it would have been used long ago. How could it be delayed until now?"
"This might be an alien research institute, so be careful entering it."
"No, no, no, combined with the unknown virus on this planet, maybe this building is designed to prevent the virus from leaking! This is a weapons platform!"
Chen Lin intervened at this time and confirmed the latter researcher's conjecture: "This thing is probably some kind of super weapon designed by the owner of this building to prevent any virus-infected beings from escaping or entering the planet."
Several people were a little surprised by Chen Lin's bold addition, but when they thought about it carefully, it really made sense. The huge building looked like a cannon.
Assuming that thing is a turret, then this super weapon is most likely built to prevent infected creatures from escaping or landing on the planet! "Mr. Chen, is there any way to open the door?"
Chen Lin shook his head. He didn't see any additional information on the footage taken by the drone, but the special device at the door looked like an identification device, which obviously required something to enter.
"Perhaps a key is needed. The text on the door does not give any hint. It is up to Colonel Yang and others to discover where the key is."
The researchers were a little regretful, but it was a surprise that Chen Lin could translate the name on the door. They simply passed the news on, and also hoped that the warriors in the water world could find out who entered the building. method.
Chen Lin had no idea about entering this building from the beginning. What he was most interested in now was actually the shadow mentioned by Yang Li, Qinglong Team and others.
Some kind of strange sea creature that can telepathize or transmit mental power. If we can really see it, maybe all this will finally have the answer.
