Chapter 110 The Black Ocean
The dim sky, the dark sea surface, and the corpses of various dead fish of all sizes, even through the screen, seem to make people feel the suffocating stench.
Li Xiaobai pointed to the picture displayed on the screen and said, "This is what most of the Pacific Ocean is now. Not only did Wangshi volcano erupt and a large amount of poisonous materials float into the ocean, but also undersea volcanoes erupted in many places under the ocean."
There are Li Xiaobai's words in this scene, which made Lu You gasp. It seems too cruel, right?!
The originally beautiful and beautiful ocean has now almost turned into a dirty Dead Sea. Before, Lu You thought it would be useful to block the sea storm of volcanic ash. Now it seems that it is only a little delay in human extinction.
You should know that the water cycle of the entire planet starts from the ocean. Originally, the ocean had a powerful self-cleaning function, but due to the pollution of this volcanic ash, it may not be able to recover in the short term, and it will inevitably lead to a new round of mass extinction of species.
Even if volcanic ash does not cover the sky and cause a cold wave to come, the rainwater formed by evaporation from the sea will turn into deadly poisonous rain. In addition to being harmful to organisms, it will also cause many trees to wither and die.
"Is this a message sent by the central government?"
Li Xiaobai's face was a little bitter, and he nodded and said, "Yes. The demise of the United States has raised the alert to the highest level of all countries in the world. Even our country is now fully supporting the investigation and research of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Astronomy, the Ministry of Disaster and other departments."
Judging from Li Xiaobai's tone, it seems that the various relevant departments of his motherland in the world are still criticized, but he did not expect that the emergence of the shark group would bring up such a serious problem.
After discussing the unrelated matter, Li Xiaobai turned his head and turned his gaze back to the screen and said, "The creatures in the ocean are almost all dead moving outwards. Sharks are also among all kinds of fish in the ocean, and as one of the overlord creatures of the ocean, the chance of being able to escape from harsh water sources is higher."
This is true. Under natural disasters, the best species must be the best species. As a species at the top of the food chain in the ocean, the chance of natural escape is higher.
But in this way, Lu You felt even more uneasy. This was a whole ocean of creatures moving towards the beach!
It takes almost 70 to 80% of the planet's area, and there will be strange creatures that will not make people feel surprised!
If Lu You and the others can meet a giant deep sea shark, they may not encounter another abyss electric eel!
An extreme creature is already terrifying enough. If you meet another one, Lu You feels that the potential danger of going out to sea this time seems to be surprisingly great!
All kinds of thoughts circled Lu You's mind and made him speak decisively to the information officer: "Click out the map of the tunnel just now and I'll take a look!"
Lu You is the commander-in-chief of the team. What he said was an order. The information officer nodded and turned the picture back. Lu You carefully looked at the map, then pointed to one of the gray lines connecting directly from the camp to the destination and said, "Where do these gray lines come from?"
The information officer looked at the map and replied: "The other dotted lines are backup routes. Before we set out, we simulated 23 ways to go to the destination. The one you are referring to is a straight line distance, and we have also simulated it."
Lu You raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "You have simulated it? So can it work?"
The information officer nodded and quickly typing on the keyboard with both hands. The screen quickly switched to the enlarged picture on the other side of the tunnel, and there was a red line on the map.
"This is the shortest path we discovered and confirmed after studying on the map. After we arrived at Xiangyang West Mountain, if we follow the route, it will take about an hour and a half to reach the destination at ordinary marching speed."
Li Xiaobai was also a little surprised. She was only responsible for management talents and not know everything. She also heard this shortcut just now and said in confusion: "Jiang Xin, then can we go through here?"
The information officer named Jiang Xin shook his head and said, "If it is not necessary, I still do not recommend using this path. First of all, the three speedboats, the command ship and the supply ship cannot pass through, which will inevitably require the team to be separated. In such a situation, it is not a good idea to separate the forces. The most important thing is that this method is simple to say, but it is not easy to execute."
Although Jiang Xin did not recommend it, Lu You still said stubbornly: "Let me tell me in detail."
Jiang Xin had no choice but to nod and continued: "If it is really necessary to implement, the team needs at least 5 maintenance technicians and more than 10 sailor crew members. Moreover, theoretically, it can be reached in 2 hours, which is with sufficient load-bearing personnel."
"Adequate, load-bearing personnel?"
Lu You was a little puzzled, and repeated it and looked at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin explained: "The five technicians must also carry equipment weighing more than 130 kilograms, and a hovercraft and a lifeboat carry a capacity of 4 to 6 people. Even if the three spare ships are used, they can only sit at most 25 people. But a hovercraft and a lifeboat require at least two strong soldiers to carry it."
Although these calculations are not difficult, Lu You still made him feel a little overwhelmed. He said directly: "Since you have simulated it, there must be the best solution, just tell me."
"certainly."
Jiang Xin shrugged and said, "The best plan is to bring 6 professional sailors and 8 soldiers with good water and strong water."
"Didn't it mean that driving the Comet requires at least 10 professional sailors? There is no problem with bringing 6?"
"Some soldiers are still competent for sailor professions, but even with such equipment, various accidents are likely to happen during the actual process." Jiang Xin still reminded at the end.
Lu You pondered for a moment, turned around and said to Li Xiaobai, "Preliminary departure for Xiangyang West Mountain. If there is no accident, just follow the mountains. If there is an emergency, I will lead the team to climb the mountain and go directly to the destination."
"Xiaobai, go and choose the candidates, just in case, let the selected person start to rest now. If necessary, wait until the evening will set out!"
"OK."
Li Xiaobai shrank for a moment, looked at Lu You and turned around and left after he finished speaking, and answered.
