Chapter 415: The Deep Dive City Appears!
Uneasy!
Su Xia rarely has this feeling.
He hesitated for a while, thought for a long time, and finally opened the storage space and system tasks to check again, but still couldn't find the problem.
"What's wrong?" His eyes flickered, not knowing what was going on.
Could it really be the mechanical race?
It's been almost a day, the mechanical clan's underwater forces must have already taken action.
Thinking of this, Su Xia stopped thinking and said to Sarah decisively: "Don't take anything else from the shipwreck. Let's go now and go to the Far North Sea!"
"OK."
Sarah looked calm and not panicked. She waved her hand gently and recalled the small robots that were searching in the shipwreck.
The harvest this time is already rich enough.
In the shipwreck, more than 95% of the wealth had been taken away by Su Xia, and the rest would be slowly corroded by the sea water over time.
Outside the sightseeing submarine, the phantom blue clam saw this and immediately sent out a spiritual wave: "I didn't lie to you. The treasure here has been taken away by you. Can you let me leave half of the pearls?"
"Okay, give me the biggest pearl and keep the others for yourself." Su Xia responded to the sea clam.
This time the treasure was beyond Su Xia's imagination, so he unilaterally changed the agreement.
The sea clam is delighted, conveying a spiritual wave of joy.
Then, Sarah controlled the capture robotic arm and caught the giant clam back into the submarine cabin. After watching it spit out the largest pearl, she released it back into the sea.
"We'll see you later."
The sea clam walked away happily, its upper and lower shells opening and closing at a fairly fast speed, and soon it disappeared into the depths of the silent sea.
At the same time, the tail channel of the large submarine at the rear slowly opened and was filled with sea water.
That is the channel of return.
Sarah controlled the sightseeing submarine, continuously retreating, and steadily retreating into the passage.
“Buzz——”
The hatch at the entrance of the passage slowly closed, isolating the passage from the cold sea outside.
On both sides of the channel, dark blue indicator light tubes lit up, flashing faintly in the water, as if guiding the direction of the small submarine.
The speed of the sightseeing submarine slowed down in the passage, becoming slower and slower, and it entered the compartment at the rear. After passing through several compartments in succession, it returned to the cabin where the sightseeing submarine was originally placed.
With a loud bang, the mechanical device in the cabin extended out and connected with the small submarine, fixing it firmly.
“Gugugugu…”
Water surged in the cabin, and countless small holes around and on the bottom began to discharge seawater, and the water level continued to drop.
Su Xia sat in the cab, relaxed all over, and let out a light breath.
At this moment, the water level outside has dropped to half.
Looking out from the cab, the scene outside the sightseeing glass is divided into two parts, one part is underwater and the other part is above the water. The water surface is gently rippling, rhythmically hitting the glass.
"Captain, we're back." Sarah said with a slight smile.
"good."
Back in the big submarine, the oppressive and cold feeling gradually disappeared, and Su Xia felt much more relaxed.
In the dark seabed, he always had a strange feeling that he had no control over his own life and death, as if he would become a duckweed in the water at any time and be swept into the invisible unknown by the boundless sea.
Although this large submarine is also on the seabed, the internal space is large enough to give Su Xia a sense of security and solidity.
"How deep are we now?" Su Xia asked Sarah.
"We are currently about 1,700 meters below the sea. We are still on the continental slope south of the continent and are diving deeper and deeper." Sarah replied with a smile.
"Okay, the deeper the better!"
Su Xia immediately said: "The comprehensive technology of the mechanical race cannot compare to this Nautilus. There should not be many mechanical creatures that can dive into the deep sea. The deeper the area, the lower the probability of encountering them!"
According to the description in the submarine manual, this submarine can dive to a maximum depth of 15,000 meters.
The current depth is far from reaching its limit.
In the dark and deep seabed, the Nautilus was like a giant black fish. Under Sarah's control, it kept diving deeper and deeper, and the pressure on the outer shell was gradually increasing.
Su Xia returned to the control cabin on the upper level, stood in front of the circular control console, and continued to learn submarine operation skills.
As the submarine dived, the pointers of many instrument panels on the console began to shift to the right, and the magnitude of the shift gradually increased, with the displayed values becoming higher and higher.
Two thousand meters, four thousand meters...
Six thousand meters...
The pointer on the dial gradually moved from the safe green zone to the dark yellow zone in the middle, and then gradually moved towards the final red zone.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Sarah said, "Captain, we have dived to 10,000 meters below the sea."
"Okay, go ahead!"
The uneasy feeling in Su Xia's heart had not yet dissipated. He rubbed his eyebrows and without even looking at the dashboards, he directly gave the order to continue diving.
Now, they have long left the continental slope area and arrived at the real ocean bottom.
On the other side of the Earth, there are only a very few top exploration submarines that can reach a depth of 10,000 meters.
According to the map, Su Xia is now in the north-central part of the southern sea area and has not yet approached the outermost area of this sea area.
Su Xia guessed that the mechanical clan should have a lot of arrangements in the outermost circle.
"It's not deep enough!" Su Xia said calmly, "Just dive to 15,000 meters and forget about anything else."
"Captain, 15,000 meters is the design limit. This submarine should not be operated under extreme conditions for a long time. Over time, it will cause irreversible damage to the submarine itself."
"Then go a little higher, as deep as you can."
"Okay, actually... the deepest point of the seabed in this area should not reach 15,000 meters." Sarah said her guess with a smile on her face.
The facts were similar to what she had guessed. The deepest area in this southern sea was only more than 13,000 meters.
After diving to 13,000 meters, the submarine entered a relatively stable state. The pointers on various instrument panels showed normal results, and all data fluctuated within a stable range without any abnormalities.
Under Sarah's control, the submarine kept its stealth capability on, like a ghost under the sea, moving alone in the vast ocean.
At such a deep seabed, normal marine species can no longer be seen. There is only deep loneliness, darkness and coldness. The whole world seems to be wrapped in deathly silence.
Time passed slowly in the sea, and before I knew it, it was three o'clock in the morning.
During this period, Su Xia logged off to fill his stomach, and went to the forum to read various news. He saw many pictures, texts, videos, etc. about the actions of the mechanical clan, and roughly grasped the key points of the mechanical clan's actions.
As a person who can travel back and forth between the two worlds, his greatest advantage lies in this. He can continuously obtain information from the outside world and will not be isolated by the underwater world.
"Even the mechanical creatures from the other two continents have taken action." Su Xia frowned, "Someone has also seen the legendary City of Deep Divers. That city actually emerged from the bottom of the sea?"
On the forum, a video caught Su Xia's attention.
His eyes fixed, his ten fingers paused, and then he lightly tapped on the title of the video.
[Shock! Undersea City! ]
Click on the video to see an extremely shocking scene.
The video was shot from a top-down angle.
In the picture, a shadow so huge that no one could see its boundaries suddenly appeared in the vast ocean. It was terrifying and rose slowly, like an awakening monster, gradually rising from the surging sea water.
“Boom…”
The waves were surging, the sea was roaring, and the mighty waves rolled in, heavily hitting the alloy shell of the floating giant, creating cold splashes of water.
That's a city!
It is completely different from human cities. There are no tall buildings, no mountains or rivers, no passing vehicles, only pieces of platinum-colored oval shells.
Looking down from the sky, a huge metal sphere with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters emerged from the sea.
Only a small part of the sphere emerged, and its platinum-colored surface sparkled in the sun. A large part of the area was under the sea surface, which was just the tip of the iceberg.
The scene ends here and falls into darkness.
At the bottom of the video, the photographer wrote: "This afternoon, I went skydiving with a group of friends. We jumped from an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. I brought along photography equipment with me and planned to record the entire jump, but I didn't expect...
"We saw this shocking thing above the southern sea. This must be the legendary city of the deep divers.
"Before we had time to record everything, we were killed by the flying creatures of the Mechanical Clan. Now that I think about it, it's a bit of a pity. If I had more time, I would have been able to record the entire process of the Deep Sea City emerging from the sea."
The Mechanical Clan is divided into three factions: the Sky Faction, the Earth Faction, and the Deep Dive Faction, which are in charge of three continents respectively.
These three camps are all headed by the Mechanical Overlord of the Silver City. They have the power to make decisions freely on weekdays, but must .
The headquarters of these three camps have always been the focus of discussion for many players who like adventure.
The city of deep water is said to be located in the vast ocean. Some blurry pictures of it have been taken before, but this time a video was finally captured.
The City of Earth is rumored to be located underground, which is normal, after all, many branch bases of the Mechanical Clan are underground.
The most mysterious one is the city in the sky.
Logically speaking, if it is floating in the sky, players can see it just by looking up.
However, players in the East Continent have not yet found any trace of this city.
Some speculate that the city may not be in the sky in the popular sense, but floating in the distant space.
“Is this the Deep Dive City?”
Su Xia watched the video several times, with a deep gaze, and remembered the appearance of the city firmly.
Before this, the underwater city in his mind was always connected with legends such as Atlantis, and occasionally the underwater world in the movie "Aquaman" would emerge.
But the city that appeared now was completely beyond his imagination. It was actually a giant spherical metal body.
The entire city is firmly wrapped in a spherical alloy shell.
Only by going deep inside can you see the full picture of this mechanical city.
"Isn't this just an enlarged version of a super submarine?" Su Xia suddenly thought, "The rumors that it can move are probably true, but with such a huge size, it shouldn't move very fast."
"The Mechanical Tribe always says that they don't have enough resources, but they waste resources on building something like this. Do they intend to turn it into a mobile war fortress on the sea?"
In Su Xia's opinion, the city in the sea in the video is such a waste.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the mechanical family is trying to accumulate technology and verify certain ideas.
After all, underwater space can simulate space to a certain extent.
"The mechanical race also wants to break out of this planet..."
Su Xia pondered for a moment, then activated the bracelet and returned to the submarine.
The speed on the seabed cannot be compared with that in the air.
The speed of this submarine is already quite fast, but according to Su Xia's estimation, it will still take seven or eight hours to sail out of the southern waters.
These seven or eight hours are full of danger, and you may encounter mechanical creatures at any time.
"Captain, when you disappeared just now, did you return to your world?" Sarah was curious and asked Su Xia with a blink of her eyes.
"Yes." Su Xia nodded.
"I really want to visit your world." Sarah's eyes flashed with longing.
"Why?" Su Xia looked at her.
"That's what you think the real world is, after all." Sarah smiled.
"There should be a way." Su Xia pondered for a moment, "You are a string of data, not real flesh and blood. Maybe you can be taken out of this world."
"Really?"
"Yes, we just need to find Blizzard and ask them for the data, but..."
Su Xia paused, thinking of the many strange behaviors of the game company, and continued: "Blizzard said they would not interfere with the operation of the game, and most likely they would not agree to my request for data."
"Then don't bother. "
"Well, we'll talk about it later if there's a way." Su Xia touched his chin, "Actually, I really want to know what you would become if you went to Earth ."
"We?" Sarah asked curiously.
"You and Hal, I'll introduce you to each other later."
Time passed quickly during their communication.
The submarine was relatively quiet, with only a slight hum from the operation of mechanical equipment. It was much quieter than the submarines on Earth and had little effect on Su Xia.
Soon, it was half past six in the morning and the dawn of another day had arrived.
A streak of golden light appeared at the distant end of the sea, looking like jumping gold flakes in the sparkling waves.
The morning glow is awakened, and the whole world has a touch of vitality.
At this moment, the mechanical race's operations in the southern waters have been going on for more than 24 hours.
"It's been a day, and the mechanical tribe has not been found yet. Where is the masked man hiding? He can't really have gotten into the belly of the sea beast, right?"
In the outside world, countless people were puzzled, puzzled, and wondering how Su Xia had managed to escape this day.
"If you can survive the first day, you can survive the second day."
"That's possible. The Mechanical Tribe should have some areas they haven't searched yet, right?"
"I think he can last for 72 hours at most..."
People were talking about it, and countless eyes were focused on the vast sea with ups and downs in the wind and clouds.
