Mance was holding on to the railing with both hands on the side of the ship. At the same time as the drilling machine broke through the rock formation, lightning and thunder were just like the "signs" before the evil ghost appeared in the horror movie. A huge whirlpool appeared on the river surface, and the thunder and lightning appeared on the river.
Under the lighting, you can see the rapid flow of water and a faint whine.
Because of the turbulence of the river, the whirlpool does not appear to be unsettling pitch black, but has a large amount of white foam accumulated on the surface. Only in the center can you see the extremely deep black set off by white, and even the light of lightning
It can't even illuminate its interior.
Ye Sheng and Yaji were watching the turbulent whirlpool by the railing. As divers, they often saw this normal natural phenomenon, but it was common but it didn't mean they wouldn't have a strange feeling about it.
The fear between them is like the innate phobia of giant objects in human beings.
Every time they see a whirlpool, they will feel a sense of fear. The lingering fear always makes people feel that there is some indescribable horror waiting for them in the depths of the black whirlpool.
Jiude Aki suddenly lowered his head. The back of his hand holding the railing was pinched by Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng looked at her and said, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do? Stop thinking about it." Jiude Aki exhaled softly. She didn't know when she subconsciously held her breath. Only then did Ye Sheng pay attention to her again.
"The plan is very thorough. Professor Mance has led many execution missions. As long as you trust him, nothing will go wrong." Ye Sheng said, and then he gently turned his head to look at the rain on the deck not far away.
The boy walked over, "What's more, we have strong reinforcements now, so nothing will happen."
"According to our animation, what you said is considered as raising a flag." Shutoku Yaji calmed down a little, and the momentum of the vortex on the river began to shrink. It seems that the space below the rock layer has been opened up.
It has been filled. Judging from this speed, the underground should be 90% filled with water, leaving only a tiny space for the vortex to occur.
"Swimming up is a great thing, coming up is news, but I don't think we two are so lucky." Ye Sheng checked his diving clothes.
"Do you remember the last dive into the Somali Sea?" Shutoku Aki asked, looking at the shrinking whirlpool.
"Why did you suddenly mention that time?" Ye Sheng paused while adjusting his diving suit.
"The instructor threw a coin into the water for the last time and asked us to look for it competitively. I spent half an hour without finding any trace of the coin. When the cylinder was about to reach its limit, I found you still looking for it underwater. You almost died that time.
When you got down, the instructor lost his temper and said you were too eager to win," Aki said.
"Whoever finds it can be accepted as a real student by the instructor. Which underwater student doesn't want to have such an honor?" Ye Sheng thought for a while and said, "In every training before, you found the coin and won.
Can’t you let me win once too?”
"Let's forget it this time. I have a bad feeling and I can't think of anything." Aki said.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Ya Ji didn't answer. Ye Sheng turned to look at her and found that the big girl was also staring at him, her eyes were particularly serious. This made him stop the movement of his hands and didn't know what to say. He could only scratch lightly.
He ruffled his hair that was wet from the wind and rain.
"If you really encounter something strange, just retreat. There is no need to be stubborn to complete the task. Bronze City is here and will not run away. There is no need to risk your life." At this time, Lin Nian's voice came from two sides.
Someone rang not far away, and he braved the wind and rain and walked to the two of them, "Sister Aki said it right. Maybe you were looking for coins during training. Coins are dead objects and will not escape, but 'cocoons' are different.
, maybe it can really run with its long legs."
"You are trying your best, but this is contrary to the party constitution of the executive department. Shouldn't the interests of Tulong be put first and individuals second? When we joined the executive department and took the oath, we all recited the oath of dedicating everything to Tulong.
I'm the commissioner of Long Daye." Ye Sheng turned around and looked at this "junior" who was several years younger than him. He showed no restraint and smiled and chatted like an acquaintance.
They were indeed acquaintances. Strictly speaking, that time in New York was the second meeting between him and Lin Nian. The first time they met was at the "Red House" in the small town of Carmel, using the "snake" to connect
Lin Nian was deeply impressed by his outstanding performance in the huge realm of speech and spirit.
"You have put a lot of effort into this dive?" Lin Nian saw that Jiang Peijiu had already walked towards Professor Mansi, but he had no intention of going there in advance, and planned to stay here with the pair who would be responsible for the dive.
Say a few words together.
"I had to rush a few tough guys along the river just to make ends meet. What's more, this mission seemed to have been planned half a year ago. We were on the watch list before we were selected for the mission and were subjected to various training projects.
"Ye Sheng said with a bitter smile.
"Are all men and women in the executive department matched?" Lin Nian glanced at Jiude Aki and looked at her a few more times. Neither he nor Ye Sheng paid much attention to it. After all, the diving suit outlined the girl's figure.
It stands out so much that even a boy can’t help but look at it twice.
"Not necessarily, it's just that Aji and I got along best when we were training. Underwater work requires tacit understanding and compatibility. Aji and I have been in the same class when we were in the academy, so" Ye Sheng turned sideways
The head did not continue to explain.
"If I remember correctly, it's senior Shutoku Aki, right?" Lin Nian reached out and shook Shutoku Aki's hand, "We met in New York before. I remember you said that you were specially recruited to the headquarters in Japan?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"The surname Jiude is rare."
"Have Commissioner Lin seen anyone else with this surname in Japan?" Aki vaguely guessed what Lin Nian meant.
"Can I ask Mai Shutoku, who is your senior?" Lin Nian slightly raised his head and looked at Aki's pretty face, but not as colorful as the female ninja in his impression.
"That's my sister." Shutoku Aki was stunned for a while after hearing the name before he answered. Ye Sheng beside him was slightly stunned, as if he knew for the first time that his partner had a sister.
Lin Nian looked at Shutoku Aki's expression that didn't seem to be fake. Compared with the female ninja who was as sharp as a famous samurai sword, the big girl in front of him looked more like a gentle and quiet little flower. The difference between them was so big that it was shocking.
Can't tie it together.
When Lin Nian heard the name Aki Shutoku for the first time, he was completely unable to connect the person in front of him with the female ninja he saw at the auction. Later, after finding out that the surname Shutoku was not a common surname, Lin Nian
Only then did I gradually remember this, and felt that there seemed to be something in common between the two of them, but it was not clear.
Now that I had the opportunity, I asked him about it. He wanted to start with Shutoku Aki to see if he could dig out the power behind the female ninja named Mai.
"Are you close to your sister?"
"Have you met my sister? I haven't seen her for many years. Ever since I left that school, she seemed to have dropped out of school because of some things, and I can't contact her anymore." Jiu Deya
Ji shook his head lightly and said.
"Have you never thought about seeing each other again?"
"The relationship between me and her is not that good because of the 'sister' connection."
"You have a sister? This is the first time I know about this. I have never heard you say it before. But it is always good to contact family members. After all, they are blood relatives. If she knows about this mission, she will probably be very happy.
I care about you and pray for you. The professor asked us to come over." Ye Sheng seemed to see that Shuode Aki didn't really want to talk about this issue, so he changed the topic very appropriately.
Professor Mans waved from a distance, and the engineering staff also lifted the double-fixed drilling rig cantilever from the water. The wet drill head was even steaming. It was the high temperature caused by high-load work, even with the river water cooling alloy.
The made drill bit is also on the verge of burning out, and the overall wear is really bad. It is estimated that if there are more rock formations one or two meters deep, the drill bit will be replaced and the construction period will be delayed.
"The water flow has been balanced, and the rock channel is in stable condition. Norma calculated that the probability of collapse is negligible. Ten minutes of preparation time, and then the dive operation will be carried out." Mance looked at the three people approaching and said coldly, "Every unit
It's already on its way to being ready. You are the most critical link. If you have any questions, please ask them now. I don't want to hear someone's request to use the toilet on the wireless channel for a while."
"Only Ye Sheng would make such a low-level mistake." Aji couldn't help but chuckle.
"Everything is ready." Ye Sheng shook his head and looked at Mance with serious eyes.
"The Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Channel has informed us that the wind may rise to Level 10 tonight and the rainfall will reach 200 millimeters. Our relevant registration with them is a fishing tugboat. They want to send out helicopters to rescue us and suggest that we abandon the ship."
Thelma from Rain reported that her mission's observation of all surrounding conditions provided unaffected conditions throughout the mission.
"The Monyach is a warship, not a tugboat. Tell them that we don't need rescue. Just use the excuses we prepared. The ship is loaded with fish. If we are discovered, we will be in trouble. We can't let them know.
What are we doing?" Mance said.
At the same time, Ye Sheng and Yaji also arrived at the designated area where they were preparing to dive. The staff connected the traction rope and communication line to their backs, and the other side was firmly secured on the winch. If something unexpected happened, the diesel
The mechanically powered winch can quickly recover the two of them.
Mance picked up a screen and looked at Ye Sheng and Yaji in the distance. The two met their eyes and pressed a secret button on the back of the diving suit. The body monitor hidden inside the diving suit started working.
The wavelength of a person's heartbeat appeared on Mance's screen, and the real-time heart rate in the upper right corner was changing.
"The heart rate is normal, a heart rate of 30-50, normal." Mansi nodded. Lin Nian stood beside him and glanced at the data on the screen. The heart function of the diving duo had improved during countless dives.
It is much stronger than ordinary people, and the heart ejects blood strongly. This heart rate can only be achieved by professional athletes.
"How long can their oxygen tanks stay underwater?" Lin Nian asked.
"It's a cylinder, not an oxygen cylinder. The gas filled in their cylinders, except most of the nitrogen and helium, only has 40% oxygen content. But this value is more than ordinary cylinders. Nitrox diving can
Let them stay underwater for longer. The estimated activity time is one hour, but the actual time cannot reach the expected time." Mance said calmly.
"How long they can stay underwater during this mission depends on the situation. The depth of the dive and intense exercise will reduce the use time of the gas cylinder. After they confirm the entrance to Bronze City, we will dive and execute the 'open the door'
’ step, then replace them with new cylinders, and restart the timer from one hour to extend their activity time as much as possible.”
"It seems that everything has been omitted." Lin Nian nodded. Professor Mance showed the demeanor of a true veteran of the executive department. Perhaps before becoming a professor, this old man also had a glorious period in the executive department.
Achievements?
The passage was opened, and many staff on the deck began to rush to the rear cabin after stabilizing the drilling machine. They were quick and calm. The moment the vortex appeared, everyone on the ship entered the state. It was like the vortex opened a hole, and from here
The invisible hourglass was rotated from the beginning, and every minute and every second affected the outcome of the mission.
