3 To escape the chaotic situation of the deep sea, if I swim to the top of the glass box, I may be able to see it more clearly, but my attention is attracted by a certain part below - near the scaffolding, there is a flat
A one-hundred-meter-square platform. If my direction is correct, that direction should be due east. There are countless gears placed on the platform, some are rotating rapidly, some are slower, and some seem to be
Stationary.
"Finally I saw something moving. What is it?"
I lay flat on the glass floor, and the gears gradually became clearer in my sight.
The number of gears is one hundred and twenty-eight, and the size is roughly estimated to be three meters in diameter and one meter thick. As for the color, it is impossible to estimate. All the gears run through an irregular line of light strips, and the brightness of the light strips is very low.
, like a fluorescent tube that is about to go out.
The speed of the gear rotation is arranged in sequence, and the last few are astonishingly fast, like a spinning chainsaw sanding disc. For those that rotate slowly, you can clearly see the saw teeth on the edges - "Since these things are rotating, they must be
Will there be a power system, or am I right in guessing that this underground space belongs to a submarine base of a certain superpower?"
Based on the geographical location, it is quite possible that it belongs to Russia or the former Soviet Union. Could it be that the legendary "Sea Tomb of the Gods" is actually a grand work of people on earth, and all myths are to cover up this fact?
We can't stay in the red light forever. If we don't starve to death, we will be driven crazy by the blood-red eyes. After walking around the bottom of the tower, I re-entered the tower.
Guan Baoling's tears had dried up and she lay weakly on the ground, her wet long hair spread randomly. Only when a girl completely collapses will she no longer care about her own beauty. She is already on the verge of collapse.
I pointed to the gears and said with interest: "Look, what do so many gears remind you of?"
Guan Baoling shook her head feebly: "My brain is rusty, I can't think of anything, I just want to... go home..."
"Go home? I want to, but can I go back?" I smiled secretly.
"Boom, boom, boom" three huge earthquakes like the earth shaking came over. Guan Baoling yelled "Ah" and threw herself into my arms, trembling with fear.
"What's the sound? I'm so scared...Hold me tight..."
She didn't need to say anything, I had already strengthened my arms and hugged her tightly.
I dare not think about the worst, because according to my geographical common sense, it is the worst precursor to the eruption of submarine volcanoes. The Japanese archipelago is a place with many volcanoes and earthquakes. Earthquakes are commonplace on the islands and continental shelves in the Pacific Rim.
, if there is no earthquake for more than fifteen days, it is the most abnormal.
We are sinking to the bottom of the sea. Whether it is an earthquake or magma, it may give this glass box a devastating blow at any time, shattering it or completely burying it and sealing it on the bottom of the sea.
The sound of "boom, boom" kept ringing, and every second, it seemed that the God of Death would take a step closer to me and Guan Baoling. At this time, I even had the idea of entering the mysterious space below for a while. As long as there is a dry and stable piece of
You can live on land temporarily, no matter whose territory it is, avoiding the threat of death is the first priority.
Gears are often associated with nooses, door leaves, passwords, and safes. Take the three-line digital code lock on a suitcase as an example. Each gear is a barrier for the suitcase. So, one hundred and twenty-eight gears,
Could it be that some systems are controlled by one hundred and twenty-eight barriers? What are the permutations and combinations of one hundred and twenty-eight numbers - an astronomical number! I think people on earth are not stupid enough to use such a complicated mechanical gear code.
Control something, right?
Guan Baoling's body was shaking constantly. Our eyes were fixed on the spinning gears at the same time. At the same time, we understood that the stable gears in our sight were not stationary, but needed to rotate slowly for some reason to coordinate with other gears.
The action of gears.
"Perhaps each gear has its own power drive system, that's why there is such a big speed difference?"
Cracking passwords is the specialty of hacker "Hongqi" Xiaoyan. If he were here, he would definitely be able to understand the mysteries of the gears better than me.
Except for gears, scaffolding, and neatly divided spaces, other places are blurry and unclear. Perhaps our vision has weakened rapidly after being damaged by red light for a long time, so we cannot see other things.
The vibrations and rumblings kept ringing. I could only hold Guan Baoling as hard as I could, but there was nothing I could do.
"Kiss me, wind, kiss me... Let us live happily at the end of our lives..." After Guan Baoling regained some strength, she slowly struggled in my arms and pressed her lips against my cheek.
Her eyes were always closed weakly, as if she didn't even have the courage to open them and look outside.
I wanted to obey her orders and have further crazy indulgences, but I didn't do anything, even though from the first time I saw her, I began to long for the taste of those red lips.
"Miss Guan, please calm down. We haven't...finally lost...hope..." My tone became extremely cold. If I were really given the chance to ask for her, I would rather do it after returning to the ground than after returning to the ground.
In this inexplicable red light.
"We... can't go back... we can never go back..." Guan Baoling whispered, her arms wrapped around my waist, and her lips rubbed my cheek.
I was about to break away from her for the second time, when suddenly, the rapidly rotating gears stopped. One hundred and twenty-eight gears stopped neatly, like a combined machine whose power was cut off in an instant.
"Look, they've stopped! They've stopped!" While shouting, I felt a stronger vibration under my feet, and then the glass box began to rise.
Guan Baoling opened her eyes and looked down at a loss. We were indeed distancing ourselves from the skylight below. What was even more gratifying was that the brightness of the red light was weakening. Within a few seconds, it was dazzling at first.
The light source has become softer, and then turned to a weak state.
This time I saw clearly that there was indeed a hole in the middle of the scaffolding, the diameter of which was not much larger than a tooth. After the red light disappeared, I figured out that the color of those gears was ocher red, similar to the iron oxide in the laboratory.
They are exactly the same. In addition to connecting all the gears in an S-shape, the light belt has one end connected to the scaffolding, and the other end extends infinitely, entering somewhere further east.
I really longed for a telescope to see clearly all the conditions below - within a few minutes, the glass box rose outside the sand pit, and we watched helplessly as the tumbling sea sand squeezed in and pushed the sand away.
The hole slowly fills up.
I sighed a dozen times. This mysterious place may never be discovered again and be buried deep under the Pacific Ocean forever. It will appear and disappear suddenly like all the unsolved mysteries on the earth.
It left behind a shocking glimpse and countless memories that are both terrifying and imaginative.
"What exactly is it? I wonder if there is any record of it in the secret archives of the former Soviet Union?"
The person I most want to contact at this time is Xiaoyan. Although he is not interested in the secrets of the former Soviet Union and Russia, he can freely access their secret information systems at any time. If the legendary "Undersea Tomb of Gods" is nothing but the secrets of the former Soviet Union
Undersea military base, what about the mysterious gem "Wrath of the Sun"? Could it also be a fantasy compiled by the literary minions of the former Soviet Union?
When I first heard about the "Wrath of the Sun", I thought of it as having the magical power to "make the ocean boil and make the earth angry". I once imagined it to be a modern nuclear weapon with unimaginable power. Nowadays, people on earth have
Under the current level of science and technology, only "nuclear weapons" have such great power.
Facing reality again, returning to the ground and contacting Xiaoyan seemed to be out of reach.
The glass box hovered above the disappeared sand pit and remained motionless for a long time. Guan Baoling and I calmed down and sat on the steps, watching the seaweed that had drifted over again and prepared to take root on the spot. The red light we just experienced,
The sandpit, skylight, and underwater buildings are all like an expansion film. When the film is over, everything will be over.
Guan Baoling's face was streaked with tears, and it was hard to tell which ones were water stains and which ones were tears, but she finally had a little smile after escaping the disaster of the sand pit.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
We all heard our stomachs growling, but unfortunately there were no small fish to eat alive in the glass box. We had nothing but sea water and stones.
I shook my head, but what I was thinking about at the moment was a scene from a certain horror movie - "A pair of lovers trapped in the ruins of an earthquake starved for seven days and nights. In order to keep his girlfriend alive, the hero
, use a knife to cut your own flesh..." I shuddered all over and didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was too bloody.
If I am really hungry to the limit, will I sacrifice myself for Guan Baoling like the male protagonist?
Our eyes met inadvertently, and Guan Baoling suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know what I just thought of?"
An idea flashed in my mind, and I asked with a smile: "What came to mind? It couldn't be that movie called "Trapped Love", right?" That was the title of a horror movie that I didn't want to think about.
Guan Baoling nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's the movie."
The two of them laughed at the same time, suddenly feeling like they were on the same page.
"Watching that movie a long time ago, I often thought that one day in the future, would there be a man who could sacrifice himself for me in a difficult situation? In fact, I don't really want him to sacrifice, as long as he thinks so and says so,
I'm already very touched - maybe, instead of accepting his sacrifice, I will destroy myself so that he can live smoothly..."
I shuddered several times in succession. For people who truly love each other, no matter who sacrifices for whom, the recipient will probably be in pain for the rest of his life and unable to extricate himself. Although he saved his life, he spent his whole life sinking into this inextricable guilt.
.
"If I really fall in love with someone and he has to leave me, I will be extremely sad and can't bear it. So, if one of them is destined to leave first, I would rather it be me, because I can't bear to have another person.
The heartbreaking pain of loss..."
Guan Baoling narrated in a sleepy voice, resting her head on my shoulder.
Guan Baoling and I didn't know when the glass box started to float. Because of excessive hunger and fatigue, we hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep. We didn't even have the strength to dream on the cold stone steps.
When I opened my eyes in confusion, a huge deep-sea snapper swung its head and swayed across the floor, spitting bubbles from its mouth and shaking its gray dorsal fin steadily.
I was shocked: "Did the box float? Otherwise, this big fish wouldn't be able to swim to that position!" This is really a huge discovery that makes people happy and sad at the same time. The good thing is that the box floats, and finally it doesn't have to be trapped in it.
On the sand bed at the bottom of the sea; sadly, in the confused sea, who knows where it will drift? Until Guan Baoling and I starve to death?
The box floated up very quickly, and fish and algae of various colors kept flashing under the floor. Some of the lively fish even caught up quickly, pecking at the glass floor with their mouths, as if to scare away this weird big guy.
Think of it as some kind of fresh fishing bait.
I pushed Guan Baoling to wake up. In any case, it was a good thing to leave that terrifying deep sea sand bed.
"We... are rising? Are we going back to the ground? Great!" Guan Baoling laughed happily. I couldn't bear to break her fantasy anymore, so I didn't say anything, but hugged her harder.
It was as if we were in a weird submarine elevator, rising at an extremely weird speed and form. The situation was already very bad. Even if it was ten times or a hundred times worse, I could accept it. I even wrote the novel "Robinson Robinson"
A worst-case scenario like the one in "Cuba".
His stomach continued to growl, and in the end, even Guan Baoling's stomach started to growl.
"It seems that I haven't had this feeling of hunger for a long time, except when I was very young, I was with my mother - more than ten years ago. It's really strange to think about life, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I
I miss home, I miss my mother..." She let go of me and rested her chin on her knees, helplessly watching the underwater scenery passing by on the glass floor.
"We... are going home!" I tried to cheer myself up, even though I knew how slim it was to think about it.
She suddenly turned around and smiled sheepishly: "I have never been hugged by a stranger for such a long time. You make me feel like when I am with him..."
This "he" must be a tycoon.
I responded numbly and mechanically: "Really? Me too, I have never stayed with a girl for such a long time. This is a very strange experience for you and me, right?"
Being extremely tired, I no longer had any energy to vent my anger.
Guan Baoling hummed a tune in a low voice, seeming to be lost in distant memories.
The algae and fish sliding under the floor are gradually changing. There are already signs of life that can only be seen in the shallow sea, and the transparency of the seawater is gradually increasing.
Just when a hint of joy arose in my heart, the shocking "bang" sound sounded again, and the sea water suddenly became extremely turbid, and many large and small fish were twisted around in the invisible whirlpool.
Swinging up and down in panic.
If I still had extra energy, I would rush outside the tower without hesitation, but now apart from coveting a delicious meal, I no longer have any extravagant hopes in my mind.
"What's that sound?" Guan Baoling raised her head, confusion flashing in her big tired eyes.
"It's nothing, it's just an earthquake under the sea or a sleeping volcano starting to erupt. It must be far away, so don't worry about it."
Our ascent is slowing down, like an elevator slowing down when it's about to reach its top.
Guan Baoling sighed: "Where did the girl named Ruixika go? Was there an accident? It's so pitiful..."
She didn’t know that we were the most pitiful. After going through the strange changes in the sand pit on the seabed, what awaited us might be endless drifting on the sea. I didn’t want to say it, and I didn’t dare to think about it. I suppressed the burning in my stomach.
Feeling the same hunger, I walked down the steps and held the sign in my arms.
Normally, I could easily lift it up by inserting a finger into its small hole, but now, it took almost all my strength for me to stumble and hug it tightly, and return to the steps. I was already dizzy from exhaustion.
dazzled.
My intestines and stomach roared like thunder, as if an invisible big hand was constantly pinching and rubbing all the intestines.
"It would be nice if this was a big piece of chocolate -" Guan Baoling sighed, her lips cracked.
"Chocolate? Even a pancake will do -" In fact, before that, she had gotten up several times to drink some sea water to satisfy her hunger, but I stopped her every time. Her empty stomach was stimulated by the salty sea water, which made her feel uncomfortable.
