"God, that's just the tail fin!" Mike couldn't help but sigh.
His sigh was not without purpose, because the thing that appeared in front of us was really huge. Although the submarine we were on was not a large military submarine, it was still more than ten meters long, but it was nothing like the thing in front of us.
In comparison, it's like a newborn fry swimming next to a whale.
Because the view of the seabed was restricted, we were unable to take in the entire picture of the UFO. We could only look at the behemoth in front of us part by part. But even the part we saw was enough to make everyone marvel.
Although you have seen scans of this thing at sea before, when you see this thing on the seabed with your own eyes, you can't help but marvel at this miraculous object.
Such a huge flying object, with human technology, even the Foundation cannot create it. Only alien civilization can create it. I just don’t know what is wrong with this thing and why it crashed on the sea.
, and finally sank into the bottom of the sea?
Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask Colonel White: "Is this spaceship broken?"
White turned back and said: "This is also one of the things you have to investigate. But when we were on the sea, our sonar heard a buzzing sound coming from the inside of this thing."
"Buzzing noise?"
"Maybe it's the engine of this spaceship, or maybe it's something else?"
Engine?
If the engine of this spacecraft is really still running, then why doesn't it leave here? Could it be that the pilot inside is dead?
The tail fin standing on the bottom of the sea looks like a hill. The submarine carrying us slowly moved forward along the hill. When the hill gradually moved away from us, something suddenly appeared in front of the submarine.
Many green light spots.
At this time, Colonel White said to us: "Everyone, our destination is about to arrive. Those green spots in front are the bases built by the U.S. Navy here. After discovering this spacecraft, the Navy immediately built it here
We have set up an investigation base. Of course, now our foundation has taken over this investigation, so the Navy has done a job for us."
Speaking of this, several Foundation members in the submarine laughed together. Originally, I thought that the U.S. Navy took orders directly from the Foundation, but now looking at the attitudes of these people, it seems that the relationship between the two is more like
It's mutual use.
On the other side, after laughing with everyone, White said: "There are already two Foundation agents in the base who are naval soldiers like me. They do not participate in the investigation and are only responsible for the daily management of the base. For some time in the future
, this will be your home. Although this home is simple, don’t dislike it."
Although Colonel White said that this submarine base was very bad, when the conditions gradually approached the base, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the strength of the Americans should not be underestimated. In just one month,
They can actually build such an undersea base? In my opinion, this is not so much a base as it can be said to be an undersea dragon palace!
The area of this submarine base is actually not large compared to the word "base". The entire base occupies an area only about half the size of a football field and consists of four buildings. These four buildings
It looks like four huge spheres side by side, with steel pipe-like passages between the spheres. Although it looks a bit rough, once you think about it, it is a thousand feet (more than three hundred meters) deep.
At the bottom of the sea, I still can't help but sigh. The technological strength of the Americans is indeed the best in the world.
However, Mo Xi beside me didn’t think so. She looked at the base in the distance and said: “What kind of base? In my opinion, it’s not even as good as a motel. It’s just a temporary base built by sinking three balls to the bottom of the sea.
, there is no technical content at all.”
The submarine slowly approached the base. It first stopped near one of the four spheres in the base, and then slowly moved close to the seabed and slid into a gap at the bottom of the sphere.
While controlling the submarine with the pilot beside him, White explained to us: "What is above our heads is the docking cabin of the base. We need to decompress here before we can enter the base."
Just like the spaceship and space station in the documentary, the submarine exit and docking module above our heads were linked together. After a while, we heard a sound of deflation coming from the submarine, and then we saw White leaving.
From the driver's seat, I walked to the entrance and exit of the submarine, opened the hatch cover and got out first.
The interior of the docking cabin was a semicircular cabin. I saw an arrow marking the exit nearby, so I walked towards the exit. Unexpectedly, I was grabbed by Colonel White before I could take a few steps.
"Mr. Lin..." The other party smiled at me and said, "Don't go out in such a hurry. Have you forgotten what the diving instructor said? After you get here, you still need to pressurize."
White immediately pulled me into a shower-like area in the docking cabin. Others were already waiting there, but when I entered and stood next to Mo Xi, I noticed that there seemed to be one person missing inside.
.
Turning my gaze to the outside of the pressurized chamber, I saw that Agent Harris had opened the hatch I wanted to open just now and walked out.
I asked strangely: "Colonel White, doesn't that guy need to come in?"
"No, Harris's body can freely adjust the pressure on the seabed. He actually doesn't need to sit in a submarine. He can swim to the base by himself without any problem."
While explaining what happened to Harris, Colonel White pressed a few buttons on the wall, and immediately, the door to the pressurization chamber closed on its own.
"Do you feel very hot now? But you will feel cooler after the helium comes out in a while."
"Helium?" I asked confused.
"Didn't you listen to other people's explanations above?" Mo Xi rolled her eyes at me: "The essence of saturation diving technology is to allow us to reduce the oxygen content in the blood by breathing a mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen, so that we can survive on the seabed.
Live longer.”
When Dr. Mo Xi was explaining to me, gas suddenly came out from around him. The strange thing was that after the gas appeared, Dr. Mo Xi's voice also became strange. Her voice originally sounded somewhat neutral.
, suddenly turned into a baby voice like Lin Chiling.
I was unprepared for a moment, and with a "poof" I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Dr. Mo seemed to be amused by her own voice, but she forced a straight face and said, "What's so funny? It's just because the vibration frequency of sound in helium is different from that in oxygen."
I said that, but I still couldn't hold it back and laughed again. Several other people from the foundation also had childlike innocence, singing or talking loudly in the pressurized room.
There are all kinds of strange sounds all around us that make people laugh.
Finally, after the pressurization was over, we entered the base.
Although it looks a bit strange from the outside, the inside of this base is actually no different from an ordinary cabin. Colonel White first introduced us to the two staff members in charge of logistics at the base, a man and a woman. After he introduced us to this
When the two of us were together, one of them suddenly whispered something into White's ear. The latter nodded, and then continued to lead us to our respective dormitories to store our luggage.
After everyone's things were put away, Colonel White led us non-stop to the core control room of the base. In this control room, you can view the images of all the cameras that have been installed inside and outside the base, and it is also equipped with various
The high-power communication system is the most important part of the entire base.
After introducing the surveillance room, Colonel White pressed a switch in the control room and turned on a surveillance camera somewhere.
He stood in front of the display screen and said to us: "Everyone, although I really want you to rest a little longer, I have to regretfully tell you that you have no time to rest. We are preparing for our mission ahead.
News just came from the road paving team that they have made all the preparations, which means that our work will start soon."
