Church's Diary Ten

The fog has lasted for two days and one night, and there is no sign of dispersing.

Robbins put down the underwater robot first, trying to let it find the location of the ruins first. It was something like a crab, it was as big as a dining table, and it had six robotic arms, which made it easy to crawl and fetch. The "eyes" at the front of its body can be stretched like the tentacles of a snail, where two cameras are installed.

They all call it "General".

The general dragged a long tail line, connected to the bottom compartment of the Discovery, used to transmit signals to the ship. The relic target was at a depth of more than 300 meters underwater. The sea water blocked the radio waves. Even long waves could not be carried. The signal could only be received through optical cables.

As a result, the bottom of the Discovery ship seemed to stretch out a long tentacle, and on the end of the tentacle was a steel crab. The crab led the Explorer slowly forward.

However, the general swimming in the water for a day did not find any remains.

Although Mr. Robbins has always maintained a good gentlemanly demeanor, I can see that he is very worried. At noon, he and Mrs. Larry came to Anderson and me to discuss whether to expand the scale of the search, such as sending a small manned submarine.

Mrs. Larry insisted on going to the sea, saying that sea fog would not affect underwater work, and that the Copenhagen meeting was about to be held. We were still waiting for the result of the Discovery mission, but we could not even find a place.

Mr. Robbins has reservations. He is a marine expert, and he is very worried about the cause of the fog. He said that the sea fog in the South Pacific is concentrated on the west wind drifting south of 40° south latitude. It usually occurs in spring and summer, while we are now in the winter on the Pacific at 30° south latitude.

To be honest, I also think the fog is too strange. Although I can't make it clear in a scientific way like Mr. Robbins, but my experience tells me that there should not be such a big fog at this time, let alone such a long lasting.

Robbins felt that this strange fog would have bad weather changes or other unpredictable things happening. We have not found the buoy now, which means that our location may be one mile or more away from the seabed ruins. At this time, personnel bring equipment into the sea. Once an accident occurs or a storm occurs on the sea, it is very difficult to rescue them.

Mrs. Larry said that just waiting here will not solve the problem. If the fog doesn't clear for a week, will it have to wait a week? Fog is an atmospheric phenomenon that has nothing to do with sea water and will not affect underwater operations.

They all looked at me, making me a little embarrassed. Although I am the captain, Robbins is the captain of the scientific expedition. They are in charge of the scientific expedition. I am only responsible for driving the ship to the designated location and returning safely.

But since they want to hear my opinion, of course I have to say something. While I was weighing the gains and losses, Anderson, who had never spoken, suddenly said that this is the most advanced scientific research ship in the world, with the most advanced equipment, connected to the most advanced satellites in the sky, and the world’s top scientists. , But can't find a relic on the seabed that has been discovered, coordinated, and marked? Accept the reality! You know it doesn’t exist, right?

His words were as harsh as nails scraping across a blackboard, but neither Robbins nor Mrs. Larry refuted it.

Anderson watched them remain silent, and went on to say, you said you saw the ghost island, what about the ghost island? You said there are underwater ruins, what about ruins? You know they don’t exist, but you don’t want to admit it! Okay, I'll go fishing. You decide what you want to do. Oh, by the way, Church, let me know if there is a result.

After Anderson left, there was a long silence in the cabin. Finally, Robbins looked at Mrs. Larry and said that Professor Silva would not lie to us. Mrs. Larry also said, I also believe Professor Silva, there must be something wrong with us.

I said, what went wrong with us?

This problem bothers me, and I still can't sleep until now. God bless, hope the problem is not with me, after all, it is the boat I sailed.

Church's Diary 11

Today is really a day of great joy and great sadness. We have experienced the true song of ice and fire.

In the wee hours of the morning, the "general" finally made a discovery. The duty officer in charge of monitoring uttered an exclamation sound, waking everyone up like an air defense alarm. I followed the crowd and rushed into the surveillance room, and saw the outline of a reef covered with corals on the surveillance screen, and some rocks with sharp edges were also distributed.

Someone started screaming excitedly, right there! Right there!

At this time, the sonar detector and the magnetic detector also reacted. The relevant personnel immediately carried out the operation, and all the instruments and electronic equipment were turned on. Through some advanced technology, the things detected by sonar and magnetism were synthesized with the things taken by cameras. I saw the outline of a three-dimensional lined underwater island on the computer screen. On the surface of this reef, there are some rocks that look like buildings and some caves.

Amazingly, there is a huge triangular funnel in the center of the island. With the continuous calculation and simulation of the computer, the details of this funnel become clearer and clearer. People who have seen it before pointed to it excitedly and said, yes, it is it, it is a pyramid.

Robbins, who had always been calm, looked a little excited at this time, but he tried to restrain himself. I heard him talking to himself, why didn't our detector find it before?

I have the same question. It stands to reason that such a large place should have been detected long ago. But our device seemed to be asleep, and woke up almost at the same time. I felt that this thing wasn't always there, but it suddenly appeared.

When people were excited, confused, or meditating, the lights on the boat flashed a few times, and then the power went out.

It was still dark, and the cabin looked particularly dark.

I immediately arranged for someone to go for an overhaul. About twenty minutes later, the circuit on the ship was repaired, and the light was restored in the cabin~lightnovelpub.net~ However, after the advanced instruments and computers were restarted, we found that everything was all right again. Back to the state it was yesterday, the remains are gone, and the gloomy deep sea has nothing but sea water, only an endless abyss.

Oh my! In the end what happened? Could it be that in this early morning, the seventy-three people on the Discovery ship had a collective dream! ?

People kept tapping the machine, and some even yelled hysterically. However, everything is in vain. Those instruments rigidly maintain their scientific creed-nothing is nothing, and will not deceive you, even if it is just a white lie to the owner, it will never be willing.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that after daybreak, I found that we were lost.

Although the power and equipment were restored to normal, the Discovery was unable to connect to the GPS, nor could it receive any radio signals. The maritime phone also lost its signal and could not contact any ground organizations, as if all the satellites in the sky had disappeared.

The Discovery now is like a blind man who has lost his cane. I don't know what to do, I can only pray for a miracle. Oh, if only I could be as carefree as Anderson, you see, he went fishing again. Dreamland Guide
