Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine - Chapter 166

Latest URL:

Darkness is synonymous with this world.

In the ocean abyss that is nearly four kilometers away from the surface ice, no light can penetrate, tearing the endless darkness that has existed since the birth of the planet.

And under this cold and icy ocean that cannot be observed by the naked eye, it is not a barren and dead silence.

On the contrary, due to its special environment, a rich and diverse group of strange creatures has been derived, which has multiplied and evolved in the dark for hundreds of millions of years.

Especially in some special areas with frequent geothermal eruptions, there are a large number of colorful organisms.

In the darkness, from time to time, a large undersea plain made of countless shimmering moss can be seen, sitting on the undulating seabed.

It is like a piece of mysterious deep-sea terraced fields, dotted with this lightless world.

Occasionally, there are also schools of glowing fish swimming by in groups.

The tens of thousands of light spots of various colors, like bright stars, converged into ribbons like the Milky Way, shuttling across the sky in the darkness.

There are also countless large jellyfishes, all of which exude a dazzling fluorescence. Under the squirming of their tentacles, they seem to be strange ghosts lost in the deep sea, wandering aimlessly out of thin air.

A variety of strange creatures make up this lively underwater world.

It seems that even the eternal darkness has become no longer lonely in this silent noise.

After another two days of voyage, the voyage fleet finally managed to walk out of the cargo safe channel located in the rock tunnel on the ninth day after setting off from Syr City, and arrived at the edge of the hydrothermal wasteland sea area.

At this point, the three-dimensional projection displayed on the sonar display has finally changed significantly.

The rock formations that had always been shrouded overhead disappeared, replaced by an endless vastness and emptiness.

That feeling, as if the dark clouds were dissipated, made one’s mind suddenly open.

Meng Lei knew that from this moment on, the expedition fleet was considered to have sailed out of the surface rock formations, drilled out of the earth’s crust, and returned to the embrace of the sea.

Since arriving in this once prosperous sea area, the marine environment has also become extremely lively.

In addition to the sea monsters that are still frequently harassing, the fleet has finally seen a large number of ordinary sea creatures that are not threatening.

The three- or four-meter-long luminous flying saucer fish is often accompanied by the side, and all kinds of strange deep-sea fish can often be seen wandering by outside the cabin.

On the seabed, splendid and colorful corals grow and are reflected and embellished by various schools of fish, such as a vast psychedelic jungle, exuding intoxicating charm.

The sailing process is no longer boring, and the fleet is cleaning up the alien sea monsters along the way, while shuttling in the jungle where coral and algae grow wildly.

On the journey around the edge of the hydrothermal wasteland, everyone walked in a lingering way, almost ignoring the various unknown threats lurking in the dark.

At this time, Meng Lei did not have so much thought to pay attention to the fantastic underwater world outside the cabin.

Others can enjoy the scenery outside the cabin through portholes or periscopes in their spare time.

But Meng Lei, the top commander of the expedition fleet, actually became the busiest person in the team.

The rich and diverse marine environment can bring a different kind of interest to the boring navigation, but in the same way, with the development of the biological community, the abnormal point feedback information received by the sonar detector is also dozens of times upward. Boom!

At a glance, the abnormal points on the three-dimensional projection are densely displayed, which is almost countless!

Minable plant fibers and exposed minerals, as well as common biological activity points and alien sea monster nests, etc., all kinds of abnormal points are scattered on the sonar display, Meng Lei’s scalp is numb, and his brain is dazed.

It has to be said that the hydrothermal wasteland is indeed a rich land.

A wide variety of resources and rich biomes.

If this is in the stage of the Blue Star player’s wasteland development period, the resources in this sea area can almost satisfy the coordinated development of players in half of the waterway.

But this resource-intensive area has now become a burden for Meng Lei.

To distinguish which are threatening sea monsters and which are harmless fixed-point resources from the massive abnormal points, the workload is quite huge, and his brain is overloaded all the time.

But in order to ensure the safe navigation of the fleet, he had to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.

For a long time, it is really tiring.

On the second day after arriving in the hydrothermal wasteland, Meng Lei was finally exhausted, overwhelmed and groggy.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to leave his job temporarily and handed over the sailing to Huo Ye.

He himself built a comfortable metal lazy seat from the manufacturing bench in the engineering cabin, and made a soft cushion from the collected plant fibers, and placed the chair directly opposite the command room porthole.

The whole person lay lazily in the chair, drinking coffee and admiring the sea view, chatting with Huo Ye one after another.

While taking care of work, it is also considered to be taking a break from the busy schedule.

No way, in order to hurry on the road as soon as possible, he seldom sleeps these two days. If he goes on like this, he will really be exhausted.

Hans, who had nothing to do, frequently visited the bridge command room, acted as a commentator for Meng Lei, and enthusiastically introduced some magnificent and splendid wonders along the way.

The environment around the hydrothermal wasteland is quite rare near the safe waterway near the alliance gathering place.

Many local residents of Alien may not have the chance to witness it in their entire lives, and can only appreciate a thing or two from the video.

On the evening of the ninth day of sailing, as we went deeper, more and more alternative scenes appeared in front of us.

“Captain, look, look! That thing is the deep-sea black chimney, a spectacle that is unique to the hydrothermal wasteland in channel 66671, and is rarely seen elsewhere!”

“And also, did you see that strange thing?

They are not ordinary coral reefs. They are the ore vein sites left by the pioneers a long time ago. They are the abandoned buildings and equipment during the mining process. They are the testimony of the prosperity of the 66671 waterway. They are historical traces that exist beyond written records and exist in reality! ”

In the command room of the bridge, Hans was excited like a child and kept introducing Meng Lei.

Among all the members of the entire fleet, there are very few people who have the experience of going to sea in the wasteland of superheated liquid. Hans is one of them, and he has more than one experience. He is the most familiar person here.

But even after being here a few times, he was still extremely excited when he saw the rare seascape, not to mention Meng Lei, who was the first to see such a peculiar phenomenon.

Holding a warm teacup, Meng Lei stood in front of the porthole and was involuntarily attracted by the scene outside the cabin.

I saw that in the boundless and dark deep sea, on the seabed where various corals were scattered, a large number of black chimney-shaped objects stood prominently.

Billows of smoke erupted from the tops of sulphide deposits that looked like pillars of stone, some black and some white.

From time to time, it is also wrapped in dazzling red light, like miniature submarine volcanoes, which are erupting frantically.

The thick smoke containing a large amount of sulfides often rises to a height of tens of meters before being blown away by the turbulent ocean currents around, and then turned into mist, carrying white organic matter in the sea water, and scattered wantonly in the surrounding sky. Come on.

Due to the high temperature nearby, the sea water distorted and boiled, causing the lake to lose sight.

The thick sulfide smoke intertwined with black and white swayed like the wind in the field of vision, transformed into various indescribable forms, and finally dissipated in the darkness.

That scene, full of strange and magical flavors, looked very interesting.

In the vicinity of those hydrothermal vents, with the bright light from the submarine searchlights, it can be clearly seen that there are a large number of strangely shaped coral reefs, which are neatly located on the uneven seabed.

In appearance, these reefs are highly uniform, as if carved from a mold.

And the edges and corners are distinct, not like a natural formation.

According to Hans, these peculiarly shaped coral reefs are the remains of mineral veins left by the alien pioneers.

They used to be some mechanical equipment fixed on the ore deposit. Due to the inconvenience of disassembly and transportation, when the nearby metal was mined, it stayed in place.

After years of seawater erosion, the original appearance of these devices has long been lost. Instead, they have become natural breeding grounds for incubating coral polyps and parasites.

It can only be roughly distinguished from the structure and shape, what this mining site looked like in the past.

Along the way, the fleet saw a large number of similar ore vein ruins, as well as a large sulfide sedimentary belt that stood like a stone forest.

The large-scale abandoned buildings stood silently in the deepest part of the darkness, silently telling the past prosperity of this place.

“Great, great!”

Meng Lei could not help but marvel as he slowly sipped his tea.

“No wonder there are rumors that more than 90% of the construction resources in the first half of the 66671 waterway come from here. Today, I see that this hydrothermal wasteland used to be really prosperous, and it’s just a mining site. It’s hard to imagine how many people were gathered at that time!”

Let’s go and try it. 】

“you do not say!”

Hans still said excitedly: “The entire 66671 waterway runs through nearly 10,000 kilometers from east to west, and there are more than 20 outposts along the way. The resources required for construction can be described as massive, and most of them come from here.

It can be said that the hydrothermal wasteland supports an entire waterway!

The prosperity of the wasteland back then can be imagined! ”

Meng Lei nodded in agreement, and was inexplicably shocked in his heart.

“However, we are still at the edge of this sea area, and what we have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. We can really appreciate the scene of the past, and it is still inside!”

Hans’s excitement was unabated, as if he had an inexplicable longing and admiration for the depths of this sea area.

Hearing what he said, Meng Lei also had expectations and ordered the fleet to speed up.

The six submarines shuttled through the darkness and thick smoke, without stopping for a moment, heading for the deeper part of the hydrothermal wasteland.

At about ten o’clock in the evening, the fleet had traveled more than 60 kilometers in front of the fleet, and successively saw the ruins of some larger-scale buildings.

These ruins are vast and boundless, completely like small city-states, even wider than the lower area of ​​Syr City.

Although the illumination range of submarine searchlights is limited, the field of vision cannot clearly capture the full picture of these buildings.

The three-dimensional projection display that can be simulated through the sonar display screen can roughly reflect the grandeur of these sites.

With a full two-kilometer sonar detection range, various building traces can be seen.

Although it was dilapidated under the erosion of sea water and time, it still stands tall and silently takes root in the gorgeous and boundless underwater jungle.

Occasionally, some magnificent foundations can be seen. It seems that they have not been completed and are abandoned in the darkness. I don’t know what happened.

As the fleet moved forward, Meng Lei kept sighing.

If the Chongming Fleet can occupy such a treasure land with rich resources, then the future development is simply limitless, and any force has to scramble to seek cooperation.

However, for now.

Even if you have such a rich belt, I am afraid that you will not be able to keep it at all.

Not to mention the alliance, even those arms companies and mining tycoons will not put such a piece of fat on the table.

Before the fleet has enough strength to protect itself, it is impossible to expect to be able to dominate one side in a stable manner. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Captain, probably going further from here, the number of sea monsters will gradually increase. Maybe we should slow down a little bit, and we can’t move forward at full speed!”

At twelve o’clock in the evening, the fleet went deep into the hydrothermal wasteland within a range of nearly 100 kilometers.

Before going to bed, Hans reminded Meng Lei.

In recent days, as the combat capabilities of the fleet members have become higher and higher, and the group cooperation has become stronger and stronger, generally encountering small-scale groups composed of hundreds of sea monsters, they are basically rampant and slaughtered in the past. any slowdown.

The strange tide caused by the phenomenon of space tides does not seem to have affected the edge of the hydrothermal wasteland at present.

Along the way, the largest monster siege encountered by the fleet was only the sudden attack of two hundred gray algae creepers.

Beyond that, there is no greater crisis.

The surrounding magnificent seascape and the mine ruins left by the former pioneers of Tia also attracted everyone’s attention to a certain extent, relaxing their vigilance against potential threats in the dark, including Meng Lei.

However, Hans’ reminder sounded the alarm for Meng Lei again.

The sea area of ​​the hydrothermal wasteland is by no means a good place, and it is a notoriously dangerous place in the entire waterway.

Before the space tide broke out, there were generally large-scale strange tides that far exceeded the number of safe waterways. Now that the space tide has fully erupted, no one knows how dense the sea monsters will be here.

So, to be on the safe side.

Before going to bed, Meng Lei stopped the fleet and hid in the depths of an abandoned building, preparing to wake up tomorrow and set sail again.

After days of intense fighting, it’s time for a good night’s sleep…
