Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)

Chapter 111: disaster is coming

"Space tidal eruption?!"

Hans's voice fell, and there was a burst of exclamations in the room.

Xu Hui, Huo Ye, and Jia Quan, including Meng Lei, all widened their eyes and looked at Hans in disbelief.

Several of them are Blue Star players. Although they have heard of the phenomenon of space tides, their understanding is not particularly thorough.

Regarding this information, I only learned a very one-sided part of the content through the thin introduction book when I just arrived in Xier City.

As for the cognition of space tides, several people are still limited to the fact that it may cause the failure of space technology and cause disasters.

Therefore, the alliance prohibits players from driving the initial wasteland boat to dive.

However, through the current encounter, Hans judged that it may be a precursor to the eruption of space tides.

This is obviously very different from everyone's understanding of space tides.

Why do alien monsters in the waters of the flat zone appear in the shallow zone, which means that the space tide is about to erupt?

Also, what does space tide have to do with clowns?

Meng Lei raised his doubts and looked at Hans solemnly.

"What the **** is going on here? Why do you make such a judgment?"

Hans took a deep breath, crossed his arms and folded his arms as he walked around the house, pondering:

"Since you already know the existence of space tides, captains, you should also know that there is some kind of hyperspace domain in the alien abyss in the deep area, right?"

Meng Lei nodded and said:

"Isn't the space tide caused by the hyperspace domain?

Roger, the head of the Security Office of Sylvester City, told me before that you Tia people lost contact with their parent star because of their research on hyperspace science. "

After a pause, Meng Lei turned his head and asked:

"What is the relationship between space tides and the hyperspace realm?

Why do I feel that in the introduction book of Xier City, it seems that the words are not finished? What is the league hiding? "

Hans nodded helplessly, and said:

"Actually, it's not a concealment. After all, this situation has not been effectively confirmed, and everything is just speculation."

Seeing that Meng Lei didn't answer, Hans continued:

"The space tidal phenomenon caused by the hyperspace domain will gradually radiate from the deep area to the shallow area.

In this process, not only all space technologies will be affected, but many phenomena that we cannot understand will also appear.

One of the most obvious is the chaos of the biome.

For example, some creatures that settle in the deep sea may suddenly appear in the shallow area inexplicably.

No one knows how they migrate, and no one knows the purpose of their migration, including the migration route, everything is unknown. "

Hearing this, Xu Hui frowned suspiciously and said:

"Usually, the reason why deep-sea creatures float to the shallow sea is usually caused by earthquakes or ocean currents.

And huge pressure changes will also cause irreversible and permanent damage to themselves, so under normal circumstances, they rarely leave their comfort zone and run into shallow areas.

Could it be that space tides will cause some kind of disaster in the deep zone, making them feel threatened?

So, you risked your life to float up to the shallow area? "

Hans shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said:

"I don't know this either, and the consortium biologists have not given a clear answer yet.

Moreover, these deep-sea creatures do not seem to have actively migrated to shallow areas.

They seem to be affected by some kind of power and are suddenly sent over, which is incredible. "

After a pause, seeing that Huo Ye and the others all had unbelievable expressions on their faces, Hans smiled and said:

"I know what you want to ask, the huge pressure changes caused by teleportation, almost no creature can adapt.

Normally, it is possible to explode and die at the moment of teleportation. "

Jia Quan said suspiciously: "Then why do you still think that they were sent over?"

Hans took a deep breath, with a trace of horror on his face, and said solemnly:

"Because there are records, when the parent star was not lost, the biological research institute in the deep area once conducted an experiment.

They installed a large number of positioning systems on some alien sea monsters in the deep area to conduct real-time monitoring to study their living habits and activity patterns.

For a long time, these alien sea monsters settled in their comfort zone and did not show any strangeness.

And when the space tide erupts, many positioning signals suddenly disappear for no reason.

At first, researchers thought it was some kind of signal interference that caused the instrument to fail, or that some unknown creature appeared and hunted the target.

However, after a period of time, those lost signals were actually monitored by scientific research institutions in the shallow area.

No one knows where these observations went or what happened to them during the time the signal was gone.

In terms of time,

With the swimming speed of those creatures, it is absolutely impossible to cross the sea area of ​​more than 100,000 kilometers and appear in the area of ​​​​the shallow area.

Therefore, it has been suggested that they may have been accidentally traversed to other places through some singularities in the hyperspace domain.

And for many years to come, every time the space tidal eruption, there will be a similar phenomenon.

Chaos in the deep-sea biome is an omen. "

Having said this, Hans paused, took a breath and continued:

"As for the sudden huge pressure change, why it didn't affect these creatures, that's not something I can tell.

The league has been researching for so many years without results, and I don't have the ability to give an explanation. "

Meng Lei didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

Huo Ye said in horror:

"What the **** is this hyperspace domain?! It feels weird. It's too mysterious to actually be able to teleport the sea monsters from the deep area to the shallow area without being affected by the pressure."

Xu Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"The Tia people have only conducted superficial research on hyperspace. The mother star can collectively traverse our Blue Star people here. The alien sea monsters are just scurrying around in the ocean. What's so strange."

Hearing this, Huo Ye was suddenly dumbfounded, and after a while he sighed:

"Hey, that's what I said, this thing is too deep, I can't understand it at all..."

At this time, Meng Lei, who had never spoken, suddenly looked up at Hans and asked:

"The inexplicable chaos of the biome is only one aspect, and what about the clown you just said?"

The voice fell, without waiting for Hans to speak.

Gina suddenly stretched and walked out yawning, saying vaguely:

"Let's talk slowly, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to make up for a beauty sleep."

With that said, he walked out of the captain's room.

Everyone was not in the mood to pay attention to her at this time, and let her go.

Hans turned around and continued:

"Speaking of clowns, it's a bit evil."

After a pause, Hans seemed to be seriously organizing the language, and after a while he said again:

"The origin of the clown is very mysterious, I told the captain before.

But one thing I didn't make clear at the time was that although clowns have activities all over the world, under normal circumstances, their activities are not too frequent.

And, normally, they rarely reveal themselves.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Eugene to have stayed in Syr City for so long without being found out of any abnormality.

After so many years of investigation and statistical analysis of the clowns, the league has come to a conclusion.

The Joker members only become very active when the space tide erupts.

This phenomenon cannot be explained by science, and can only be supported by the statistics of various events.

No one can determine whether there is a necessary connection between the two.

However, according to some eyewitness accounts, some people say that they have seen members of the clown wandering in the sea without diving suits.

Just like the legendary Virgin of the Clown, it is full of spooky and legendary colors.

However, there is no video recording to prove the truth of these people's narrations.

However, since this situation is not an exception, the Alliance has also launched an investigation and only found some messy clues.

Finally, some scientists believe that the Virgin of the Clown may really exist.

At the outpost in the deep zone that year, some terrible accident might have occurred, and the cause of the accident may be related to the hyperspace domain.

If it is said that the Virgin of the Clown obtained some special ability through the hyperspace domain, the legend may not be false. "

As soon as these words came out, Meng Lei and the others all trembled, as if a heavy bomb had been dropped, and they were stunned.

"Damn it, Hans, you're a little too silly!"

Huo Ye took a deep breath, looked at Hans with disbelief, and said:

"No matter how special the ability is, can it make people not need to breathe underwater?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if a person grows gills and does not need to breathe, and the physiological structure changes, but the super pressure of the deep sea, the flesh body can't bear it no matter how much it mutates! "

Xu Hui nodded thoughtfully, but also felt quite incredible.

Meng Lei did not speak, waiting for Hans to explain.

Hans smiled and continued:

"Don't be in a hurry to refute, the so-called hyperspace domain, do you understand what it is?"

Huo Ye and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Hans said: "To put it simply, hyperspace belongs to a kind of multi-dimensional space, and what is the upper limit of the specific space dimension is completely incomprehensible with our current cognition.

But it is certain that at least four spatial dimensions are exceeded.

In this field, there are countless high-latitude effects that we cannot understand.

As far as the simplest four-dimensional dynamic space is concerned, there is only one more time effect than three-dimensional space, and we cannot understand the existence of four-dimensional space with the structure and vision of three-dimensional living beings.

Not to mention, other higher dimensional spaces.

So, if the Virgin of the Clown was ever in the hyperspace realm, she acquired some kind of high-dimensional ability.

Then it is entirely possible for her to do things that are outside the scope of our cognition in the three-dimensional space!

However, her ability may have great limitations, and it may only be used within the hyperspace domain.

So the Virgin of the Clown has always been a legend. With the faults appearing in the waterway between the flat area and the deep area, no one has seen her in the shallow area.

And some members of the Clown Church may have been endowed with similar abilities by her.

This can also explain why clowns are often only active when space tides erupt, precisely because they need a hyperspace environment to display their abilities.

Therefore, only some scientists from the alliance have put forward such a hypothesis. "

After a pause, Hans looked at Huo Ye and the others with a stunned look, as if they were dumbfounded.

He changed the subject and smiled again:

"Of course, more people still believe that the clowns that the witnesses saw wandering in the sea were just parasites infected with painted skin parasites.

The Virgin of the Clown is also a terrifying legend fabricated by the people of the previous era.

As for what the truth is, no one knows yet.

but…"

Speaking of which, Hans looked up at Meng Lei, who had a serious face, and said:

"If it's just an accidental presence of observers in the shallows, I'm not sure yet, it's a precursor to a tidal eruption in space.

After all, deep sea beasts like the Abyssal Banshee and Morocco,

Even the great terror under the abyss, such as the ghost Leviathan, may occasionally wander in the shallow area.

However, combined with Eugene's vandalism.

I think a new round of space tides may really come.

Captain, you need to be mentally prepared. "

Meng Lei nodded silently, realizing the seriousness of this matter.

At this time, the three of Xu Hui were still listening in a cloudy and foggy way, but they could not react. If the spatial tide broke out, it would bring about a huge disaster to the shallow area.

Although Huo Ye could hear the solemn tone in Hans's last words, his mind slowed for a beat, and he couldn't help but ask:

"If the space tide breaks out, let it break out. We don't need space technology. What effect can it have on us?"

Hans shook his head and was about to speak.

Simon, who had been listening silently to Hanskop, suddenly interjected:

"Even if space technology is not used, the impact of the tidal eruption in space will affect everyone!

The phenomenon of biome chaos alone will bring countless horrific disasters! "

Simon patted Huo Ye on the shoulder and said with a bad smile:

"Thinking about it carefully, a large number of deep-zone sea monsters suddenly appeared in a safe waterway that was cleared by the alliance.

How would you feel if you were driving a submarine at the time, navigating a tunnel in a rock formation, and the front and rear channels were blocked by sea monsters? "

Huo Ye was dumbfounded, put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and an inexplicable panic suddenly appeared on his face.

"I'm going! It's so scary? Then you're still playing with wool. All of them hide in the city and don't go out. Who would dare to be active in the wild!"

Hans shook his head and smiled:

"Even if you hide in the city, you may not be able to ensure safety!

It is not uncommon for the strange tide to attack the stronghold. In the early days of colonization, the parent star opened up nearly 100,000 channels in the shallow area!

But now the alliance is using less than 70,000 pieces.

Most of those abandoned waterways were destroyed by space tides. In the shallow waters where we live now, the number of alien sea monsters is less than one percent of the deep ones!

The sea monsters hidden in this icy abyss are definitely far beyond your imagination! "

Meng Lei took a deep breath when he heard the words. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"Ordinary sea monsters should not be enough to pose a threat to the stability of the alliance!? Those aberrations living in the deep zone are the culprits that led to the destruction of the waterway, right?"

Hearing this, Hans and Simon looked at Meng Lei in surprise.

"Captain, do you know about aberrations?"

Meng Lei nodded and said solemnly: "I met one before, and it looks so terrifying, it's obviously not a normal creature."

The distorted horned snake was a large sea monster that Meng Lei encountered on the first day of crossing, and it was also a stepping stone for him to take the first kill in the channel.

Similarly, it is also the only aberration sea monster he has encountered so far.

At that time, when the major fleets assembled and joined forces to get through the last cave, in the endless tide of strange waves, he did not find the second aberration.

Obviously, this kind of aberration creature is very rare in the shallow area.

Hans nodded and affirmed:

"You are right, after the tidal eruption of space, although the number of ordinary sea monsters has increased exponentially, the threat is limited.

The really scary things are those aberrations and super-sized sirens.

These creatures not only have a strong desire to attack, but are also extremely difficult to kill!

The alliance has encountered a doomsday worm that has undergone aberration, and that aberration doomsday worm has also been infected with painted skin and has undergone double mutation!

The aberration worm painted skin became a nightmare for the major waterways at that time, causing an unimaginable disaster!

In the end, the alliance paid the painful price of four large armed fleets to finally kill the aberration worm, and the loss was quite heavy!

This is the catastrophe brought about by the tidal eruption of space.

For us colonists, every outbreak is a cruel test! "

The voice fell, and there were several gasping voices from the captain's room, but it was Huo Ye and Xu Hui.

At this moment, after learning about the impending disaster, several people were all a little nervous.

The joy of the rest of his life and the great harvest was gone at this moment.

Although I didn't experience the terrifying scene in person, from the descriptions of Hans and Simon, I could feel a tragic and terrifying aura blowing toward my face, chilling my spine.

In their view, large gathering places are already the only firm foothold for humans in the deep sea.

If even the gathering place is no longer safe, then in this alien ocean, humans really have nowhere to hide.

Seeing that several people looked different, Hans patted Xu Hui on the shoulder next to him and comforted:

"Don't worry, the tidal eruption of space is not entirely a bad thing, and it is also accompanied by great opportunities."

Meng Lei raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "How?"

Hans explained: "Whenever there is a tidal eruption in space, a large number of alien remnants buried in rock layers are exposed.

At this time, the Alliance has no energy to explore and control these ruins.

These new ruins will temporarily become unowned, and anyone can explore and plunder at will.

Among them, the products of advanced civilization are things that major companies and research institutions are scrambling to grab. Any complete technology that flows out can be sold for sky-high prices!

And, as the number of sea monsters soars, the benefits are even greater for bounty hunters!

Therefore, every eruption of space tides is a feast for bounty hunters.

Although many people will die in the disaster, there are also many people who can accumulate huge wealth enough to squander a lifetime!

Risks and opportunities coexist, it depends on whether the courage is big enough. "

There was a hint of bewitching in Hans's words, and the eyes of several people who heard it lit up.

Meng Lei also nodded meaningfully, got up, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the bedside table, lit it, and pondered silently.

If the situation after the eruption of the space tide is really as Hans said.

So this disaster is a great opportunity for the rapid development of the Chongming Fleet and even the Blue Star player group.

Whether it is the accumulation of wealth or the improvement of scientific and technological level, there will be breakthrough progress.

Of course, the risks are also enormous.

All kinds of abyss bosses appear together, and safe navigation is a big problem, and what potential crisis will be in the alien ruins, everything is unknown.

"It's time to prepare well."

Meng Lei pondered to himself, and had a general direction and judgment in his heart.

Then Hans said again:

"Captain, these are just my guesses based on past experience, and I'm not sure whether the space tide will erupt or not.

After returning to Xier City, you can pay more attention to this information.

If there is a hint of an outbreak, the alliance will definitely be aware of it.

At that time, major newspapers and magazines will report, reminding the citizens of the alliance to prepare.

The impact of this incident is too great, the Alliance will not hide it, and there is no need to hide it. "

Meng Lei nodded and said solemnly:

"Okay, I see, I will send someone to keep an eye on this."

The discussion of space tidal eruptions caused by the appearance of observers has come to an end here.

There's not much point in worrying too much until something doesn't happen.

The point is, they can't do anything at all on the way back.

We can only put this issue aside for now and talk about it after we return to Xier City.

The sequelae caused by being stared at by the observers will last for a long time, and everyone chatted for a while, Meng Lei really had a splitting headache, so he briefly explained, and let Huo Ye lead the team to set off and continue on the road.

He changed a set of sheets and bedding, put on dry new clothes, and slept in bed.

However, out of concern for Meng Lei's physical condition, at the strong request of everyone, Hans stayed in the captain's room and escorted him all the way.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon that Meng Lei gradually woke up.

The tingling sensation from the brain has subsided slightly, but the chaotic and disgusting feeling still pops up from time to time, and there are double images of everything.

Gina concluded that this will continue to happen for the next week or so.

It will return to normal after a week. It is recommended to stay in bed for a long time and minimize mental work.

Meng Lei wanted to cry without tears, but this time it was really a waste.

The observer is even more terrifying than the abyss banshee. Although the latter's hissing noise can also affect the mind, it has no such serious sequelae at all.

However, it may also be related to him looking at the observer for a long time.

But in any case, Meng Lei has a long memory this time, and he must not be so curious in the future.

In this dangerous alien ocean, there are too many incomprehensible things.

Even if you hide in a submarine, your life will have to be explained, and there is no real safety anywhere.

Randomly ate some fish steak rice mixed with bomb pomegranate sauce, and dealt with it for lunch.

During the period, Lin also came out to show her face, and said hello to him.

Since the girl left the Rongyan Outpost, she has been locked in the room and cannot come out. Obviously, the Rongyan Outpost incident had a great impact on her.

This heart knot, it seems that it will not pass for a while.

In this regard, Meng Lei can't say anything. This kind of thing can only be a hurdle in his heart, and it is useless for outsiders to talk about it.

Lin stayed in the restaurant for a while, ate something, and then went back to her room.

Looking at the petite, small and lonely back, Meng Lei suddenly realized a problem, what should this girl do in the future after she arrives in Xier City?

Through previous conversations, he probably understood.

Lin's parents died in a shipwreck many years ago.

Over the years, Aunt Dolly from the clinic has been taking care of her, with no other relatives.

After meeting Eddie, life gradually improved.

Now that the Rongyan Outpost is completely occupied, Eddie may not escape the sanctions of the alliance in the end. In this case, Lin is really completely helpless.

After all, he helped himself. If the other party hadn't opened the door in time, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Meng Lei really couldn't bear to leave her alone in Xier City to seek a life, thinking of how the lower class people in the city looked like walking corpses.

"Anyway, she also has simple medical skills, why not keep her on the ship and be a ship doctor?"

Meng Lei thought while eating, and felt that this way of handling it was considered more humane.

As for whether the girl agrees or not, she has to ask her opinion.

At least I have my own attitude and decision, and I won't make people feel cold-blooded and tear down bridges.

Just thinking about it, the handheld tablet placed on the dining table suddenly vibrated.

Meng Lei put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, picked up the tablet and glanced at it, and found that it was a transfer message.

The remuneration of 150,000 marks was credited into his citizen's account. The current balance shows that there are nearly 170,000 assets in the citizen's account.

And behind the transfer information ~lightnovelpub.net~ there is a message from Roger.

"The video has been confirmed, and it took some time to go through the process, so I called the remuneration, please check it."

Meng Lei's eyes lit up.

Although he is now worth millions, those are fixed assets and materials that are too late to be realized, and he actually doesn't have much of the savings.

In terms of savings, he is still a miserable little poor guy.

Therefore, suddenly 150,000 cash came into the account, and looking at the purse that was bulging again, he immediately closed his mouth with joy, and replied two words to Roger with a smile.

"receive!"
