Ivan opened his eyes wide and looked at the huge inverted pyramids and their reflections in the water. Even though he has been on the sea for many years and experienced the most violent wind and rain, he has never seen such a spectacle.

"What the **** is that?"

Boris was equally shocked, and the cigar in his hand finally fell on the deck, but he couldn't take a pity anymore.

"Return to the cabin," Stone said.

Ivan immediately understood that this is not a good thing. As the captain, he commanded loudly: "Return to the cabin, hurry!"

Although reluctant to withdraw their gaze from the shocking scene, the well-trained veterans still obeyed the orders and left the deck one by one very quickly and entered the submarine cabin.

After Ivan waited for Stone to go down, he got off the boat and covered the hatch.

Boris still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Stone, what the **** is that? It's not an alien star destroyer coming to attack the earth, right?"

His question is also the question of all crew members.

Stone did not return to his lounge, but entered the command cabin with the others. He smiled and said to Boris: "What if you guessed it right?"

"Oh, **** it! Use a torpedo to shoot it in the butt!"

"I said Boris, how do you know that aliens have butts, have you ever done it!"

Everyone in the cabin laughed.

Boris was also amused, and said with a smile: "If you don't have a **** and do something else, they should have a hole or something!"

Stone was very satisfied with the way they were joking, and he said that he was a veteran of maritime affairs, and he could remain optimistic in such a situation. Of course, the money he had just used the satellite network to transfer them on the sea also played a key role. Don’t these people risk their lives to go to sea just to make some money and let the family live a good life?

But the joke is a joke, and no one is really silly there. Everyone is in their respective posts and doing their own jobs. Some stared at the instrument, some stared at the periscope, and some tested the power of the submarine, but their faces looked relaxed, not as if they were facing an enemy.

Ivan carefully checked the working conditions of each post and listened to their reports. He is a rigorous person, others can joke casually, he can't. These people were all called by him. Although he knew that everyone was not afraid of death, he had the responsibility to protect everyone and it was best to be able to go back alive. This was something he prayed every time he went out on a mission.

Soon, the crew member who had been observing the periscope reported: "Ivan, we seem to be surrounded by those ghosts."

Ivan looked at Stone: "Sir..."

Stone waved his hand at him and said: "The mission is over, how do you go back to the rest? Now you are the commander and everything is up to you."

Ivan nodded and immediately ordered the other crew members: "Turn on all active sonar and magnetic detection equipment."

"Report, the sonar equipment is normal, and the existence of those things cannot be detected."

"Report, magnetic detection is underway, and magnetic interference is found."

"Determine the location and go through the gap between them."

...

"Report, there are magnetic interference everywhere, and magnetic detection cannot accurately locate."

Ivan used to push away the crew member who was observing the periscope, put his eyes closer to the observation port, and then commanded: "Left rudder twenty-five, forward three."

"Yes, twenty-five left rudder, three forward."

The submarine shook slightly and turned on the surface of the sea. Ivan could see from the periscope that the submarine was moving towards the gap between the two inverted pyramids.

However, as the submarine moved, the things that looked like an inverted iceberg also whirled and transformed.

FAK! Ivan cursed inwardly.

"Slow down, right rudder five, forward one."

"Yes, slow down, right rudder five, forward one."

...

"Keep your course, go ahead two."

"Yes, keep your course and go forward two."

Ivan has been directing the advance of the submarine by visual observation, which requires a very rich experience at sea, otherwise it is likely to collide with something in front of him. He didn't know what would happen to him.

Although those things can't be detected by sonar, only magnetic interference, theoretically speaking, they are not physical objects, and they may hit the submarine's electronic equipment at most. But he didn't want to take the risk. In case something unpredictable happened, or even if it was just an electronic device malfunctioning, if it was not repaired properly, the possibility that the submarine would go back in the vast Pacific would be very small.

However, things did not go so smoothly. These inverted pyramids are not only moving, making it difficult to accurately locate them, but more importantly, their number is also difficult to judge. I was far away just now, Ivan couldn't see it. Now, getting closer, he found that even if he passed between the two pyramids, the shadows were heavy behind him, and there seemed to be countless pyramids.

He adjusted the angle of the periscope and looked at the top of the towers, which were about 400 to 500 feet high. Since they were upside down, the flat upper part looked like a line.

"Prepare to dive," he ordered.

"Yes, ready to dive."

"Six hundred feet deep."

"Yes, I am diving."

"One hundred feet."

"Two hundred feet."

...

"Six hundred feet."

Ivan left the periscope, and at this depth, nothing could be seen in the scope. Submarines can only rely on electronic equipment underwater.

"How about sonar and magnetic detection?"

"Report, sonar everything is normal."

"Report, the magnetic interference is still there, and those things are still there."

"Continue to dive."

"Yes, continue to dive, six hundred and fifty feet... seven hundred feet..."

"How about it?"

"Report, no change."

"Continue to dive."

"Yes, continue to dive, 750 feet...800 feet..."

Ivan asked again, and magnetic detection showed that those things were still around them.

"Continue to dive."

"Dive further down to the extreme depth." A veteran reminded, "The guy we are riding in is as old as my father, and may not be able to bear it."

How could Ivan not know ~lightnovelpub.net~ but he has inspected this submarine, and it is very well maintained, and there is not much problem with the extreme depth. What he is worried about is the same result when diving down, nine hundred feet and eight How big is the difference in hundred feet? He even suspected that even if they could dive to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, those things would still be there.

He was cruel and ordered: "Dive down."

"Yes, dive down."

The submarine quickly reached its extreme depth, but as expected, judging from the magnetic interference, those things did not disappear.

Ivan was silent. Everyone looked at him, and the pressure of the deep sea of ​​900 feet seemed to pass in through the bulkhead, and the command cabin seemed depressed and dull.

"Go to the fuck, just bump into it, maybe there's nothing!" Boris couldn't help but said, watching Ivan still thinking, he yelled, "I said Ivan, what the **** are you? Has time become so bearish?"

Ivan ignored him, but looked at Arthur Stone and said, "Mr. Stone, don't you have anything to say to us?"
