While the team members in the cockpit were admiring the beautiful scenery, Yan and Hao Li in the laboratory were sorting out supplies and newly added equipment.

Lu Yan is the person in charge of the laboratory. She is taller than Hao Li. She is also 175cm tall when wearing sneakers. Her short hair looks particularly capable.

"Sister Lu Yan, why haven't you confessed to my brother yet?" Hao Li asked while arranging the equipment.

After hearing her words, Lu Yan's fair little face turned red instantly, and she said with some embarrassment: "Didn't you tell me last time that your brother wanted to confess to me?"

"If you are still waiting for him, let me tell you that he is just a piece of wood. Apart from work, he has zero life skills. I suggest you grab him first and save yourself from having someone cheat him away someday. Then you can

You won’t find someone as stupid as my brother.”

Hao Li showed disdain on her face. Although Hao Jianguo was very capable at work, he was really weak in this area. He told her that he liked Lu Yan more than a month ago and asked her what to do.

She told Lu Yan at that time that she also had a crush on him and asked him to confess her feelings quickly, and then nothing happened.

"He's not as bad as you said." Lu Yan couldn't help but retort for Hao Jianguo.

"Hey, this is not my brother's person, and he started to speak for him. It seems that I will not have a good life in the future."

Hao Li said with some dissatisfaction, in her mind, Hao Jianguo was an imbecile in daily life.

...

The submarine dived to about 5,000 meters and began to slow down slowly. It was surrounded by some towering peaks. Hao Jianguo and his team's first destination this time was a flat trench about 5,300 meters below.

This was what they discovered during their last scientific expedition. It resembles a textbook-like basin plain, which is relatively rare at this depth.

Because of time constraints, they only marked it last time. They hope to find something inside this time, preferably a new species.

Li Mingzhe returned to his seat again, turned off the autopilot, and began to manually control the landing.

Although today's artificial intelligence does not have any difficulty in these operations, it still likes to control key programs in its own hands.

The submarine constantly adjusted its speed and direction in Li Mingzhe's hands, and finally landed on a very flat seabed.

When Li Mingzhe pressed a button on the center console, there was a picture painted on it.

Behind the yellow button with a spider pattern, four thick mechanical legs stretched out from the bottom of both sides of the submarine, slowly detaching the submarine's body from the seabed.

After the mechanical foot stopped, two more mechanical arms of different sizes stretched out from the front of the submarine. The one on the left was about the same size as the mechanical foot, resembling a crab's pincers, while the one on the right was more like a thin and long human hand.

From a distance, the submarine looked as funny as a shrimp monster with eight legs.

After the series of actions of the submarine ended, Li Mingzhe reported: "Report to the captain, the submarine has landed."

"Okay, first collect soil samples, then enter silent mode and observe the surrounding situation for a period of time." Hao Jianguo issued the order according to the plan.

After collecting soil samples, the submarine turned off the engine and all external light sources and entered silent mode, and adjusted all windows to one-way light mode.

In this way, the light source inside the submarine will not shine outside, and the outside scene can still be seen from inside the submarine, which is of course completely dark.

In this way, no special circumstances were found during the three-hour silent mode. The submarine was reactivated and began the first exploration of this trench.

The flat area at the bottom of this trench is about 20,000 meters long and 15,000 meters wide. The little whitebait is like a mechanical toy, moving slowly inside.

"Holy shit, captain, we seem to have entered the deep sea ghost zone this time. We didn't even see a shrimp." Li Mingzhe said with some surprise when the submarine slowly traveled 500 meters in one direction.

The submarine's biosensor can detect the existence of living creatures 50 meters around, but so far they have not found any, which makes Li Mingzhe a little surprised.

They also frequently detect the 5,000-meter deep sea area. This is the first time that no living creatures have been discovered in such a large area.

"Ghost, you should think that if you find the ghost, you will go to heaven." Looking at Li Mingzhe who was pretending to be surprised, Hao Jianguo angrily slapped him.

Li Mingzhe scratched his head and did not dare to answer any more questions. He turned around and drove the submarine forward slowly.

After advancing about 50 meters, the two mechanical legs at the front of the submarine suddenly penetrated deeply into the ground, causing the submarine to shake violently.

"What's going on?" Hao Jianguo asked quickly.

"

Report to the captain that the geology ahead is a bit strange and we are investigating." Li Mingzhe immediately replied.

"Okay, find out the situation immediately and report to me." Hao Jianguo's order was very concise.

About 50 minutes later, Li Mingzhe reported: "The terrain in front of the captain is somewhat special. According to radar detection, it is the same as the hard geology under our feet."

"But when our mechanical foot steps on it, the depth of about 1 meter above it will turn into a geological structure similar to floating soil, and we will sink in."

"And this situation will only briefly appear on the radar when the mechanical foot touches it. When the mechanical foot stops moving, the disturbed floating soil-like things will quickly return to their original appearance and appear on the radar."

After hearing Li Mingzhe's report, Hao Jianguo couldn't help but frown. This was the first time he encountered such a strange geological environment, so he looked at Lao Cao next to him, and happened to see Lao Cao's puzzled expression.

"Captain, this is the first time I've heard of this situation. I suggest we pause our progress, send a robot to explore first, and take soil samples for analysis. After the results come out, we can move on."

Looking at Hao Jianguo, who was looking over, Lao Cao knew what he wanted to ask, and before he could speak, he spoke out his thoughts.

After listening to Lao Cao's words, Hao Jianguo thought for a moment and then ordered: "The submarine immediately retreated 20 meters and stayed away from the unknown geological area."

After receiving the order, Li Mingzhe and the others quickly controlled the submarine to move toward the rear, and soon reached the designated area.

At this time, Hao Jianguo had already reached the front of the cockpit. Through the glass, he could clearly see that the ground that had just been disturbed by the submarine had gradually returned to its original appearance. It looked no different from the hard ground under the submarine's feet.

the difference.

Faced with the strange situation in front of him, although Hao Jianguo wanted to investigate the situation immediately, he still maintained restraint, looked at the time and ordered.

"Okay, let's get here today first, put the submarine into silent mode, and arrange the personnel on duty. It's been a hard day for everyone, take a good rest, I have a tough battle tomorrow."

When the submarine entered silent mode, the surroundings fell into boundless darkness again.
