Chapter 445: Lure the Enemy Torpedo
Lin Xian originally wanted to talk to Ding Junyi about geothermal heating and the gamma ray problem he encountered. However, before he could open his mouth, he was attracted by Ding Junyi's words. He was slightly shocked and couldn't help asking
"Not a three-dimensional existence, what do you mean?"
"Don't be nervous. This is just a conjecture I came up with while researching supernatural items and the origin of dark energy. In fact, based on scientific rigor, I shouldn't discuss such conjectures. After all, you tend to agree with what I express. Personally, I'm honored. However, practically speaking, this conjecture has not yet been proven. Because for higher-dimensional beings, all forms of power are unknown to us."
Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian seriously and said, "Since you're considering the various phenomena that occurred after the Apocalypse Day as a sign of a higher civilization, I'm boldly inferring this line of thought. For now, aside from survival, humanity faces a most direct yet unanswered question: what is the true purpose of these strange entities attacking humanity and Xingyuan devouring the Blue Planet?"
Rumble.
The undersea earthquake was heard again, the tunnel was buzzing, and the carriage was shaking. Lin Xian grabbed Ding Junyi's hand to steady himself. A minute later, the earthquake disappeared, and the amplitude of the vibration was larger than before, and there was only less than half an hour between the two times.
"It looks like this submarine volcano may erupt at any time." Seeing that the earthquake stopped, Lin Xian let go of Ding Junyi's hand and said in a deep voice.
Ding Junyi glanced at the carriage and said calmly, "For those of us with special abilities and heavy vehicles like the Infinity, natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis shouldn't pose much of a threat. You're worried about being hunted by strange entities, right?"
Lin Xian nodded: "This is what I came to you for..."
After saying that, he immediately told Ding Junyi about his discovery of the energy vent and his plan. Although it was a strange body, Lin Xian still wanted to hear the ideas of Ding Junyi, a biologist. However, looking at the earthquake, Lin Xian felt that time might not be enough. He might have to activate the energy vent immediately to stabilize the device before dark.
Hearing Lin Xian's words, Ding Junyi's eyes lit up and she nodded in deep understanding. "If the geothermal nuclear energy converted by this attraction device has a special attraction effect on strange bodies, this plan should be effective... I only mean that Chasang Island attracts some strange bodies, but what you said about increasing the release to attract the giant ocean god to shift its target to the Galan Volcano and then hunt it in advance, it sounds..."
"I know." Lin Xian sighed solemnly, "It's just a hypothesis. The energy draining operation must be carried out anyway. I wouldn't hold out too much hope, but I can also monitor and observe. Maybe I can find something."
Lin Xian rubbed his trigeminal nerve. Even with his eyes closed, he could still see the damn countdown. He was really trying his best to save his life.
Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She admired Lin Xian's style of never giving up under any circumstances and always keeping a backup plan. As a teammate and the object of Ding Junyi's admiration, this made her have a special sense of security at all times in this doomsday. This is why she would still do research calmly in the carriage no matter how stormy it was outside.
“I would be more concerned about three issues.”
Ding Junyi said calmly: "First, what is the attraction of this geothermal nuclear energy to strange entities, which has attracted so many large strange entities. Second, why does the giant ocean god engage in hunting behavior? Third..."
She looked at Lin Xian: "How can you be sure that the Giant Ocean God will leave after completing the hunt?"
Lin Xian's face stiffened when he heard that. Ding Junyi's words hit the point. Yes, he really had no idea what to do about the current siege he was facing. He was isolated on an island, and the sky and the seabed were full of strange creatures with secret books. If he was not careful, he would be reduced to ashes. The oppression brought by those world-class creatures was like a huge rock on his heart, not to mention the strange countdown in front of him, and all kinds of strange things that he still couldn't understand.
"Not sure." Lin Xian sighed. "These are all from the Foundation's previous observation records, but no one really knows what hunting is in this situation. We're like trapped in a snake's den. All we can do is try our best to avoid being marked with the Dark Mark and being discovered."
Upon hearing this, Ding Junyi put her hands in her pockets and said calmly, "Using geothermal energy to attract and observe the giant ocean god's hunting behavior. I don't know what the foundation's true purpose is. However, they did something like this, and built such a large base and a geothermal attraction device. It can't be based on pure speculation. There must be a clear purpose. Such a long period of observation shows that they have achieved or are achieving their intended goal. In the end, the situation we encountered was also the situation they would encounter, but they all evacuated safely. Doesn't this mean that this operation is relatively safe? At least, it is relatively safe within this base."
Lin Xian shook his head. "They didn't expect the Garan Volcano to be activated, so they evacuated. This place is no longer safe. If the volcano erupts, we won't be able to stop it..."
He directly expressed his views, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and stared at
"Wait." Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi: "What was your last sentence?"
Ding Junyi raised her glasses and said, "I mean, the situation we are facing is also what they will encounter."
Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something and said
"Smart, Director Ding!"
After saying that, he ran straight out of the car.
Looking at Lin Xian's back, Ding Junyi smiled inexplicably, then got out of the car and followed Lin Xian all the way to the monitoring hall of the submarine base.
At this time, in the monitoring hall, KIKI and others have already dispatched all the surveillance systems installed at the outlet. The sea water is dark and turbid, but on the monitoring screen of the biological radar, many red dots of different sizes can be seen swimming.
"Lin Xian!"
Seeing Lin Xian coming over, Kiki immediately called him: "The control valve of the energy vent is connected and can be opened at any time."
"The stability axis of the Deep 3 core heat introduction device has shifted. This is because the magma in the geothermal well has exceeded the dangerous height. Looking at this situation, we don't even have 12 hours left." Ryan was also standing in the monitoring hall at this time, with Vanessa beside him. In addition, other core members of the Falcon Sea Group were outside carrying the supplies unloaded from the sea group and the remaining weapons and equipment.
The nuclear submarine base suddenly became much more lively. Among the hundreds of people in the Falcon Sea Regiment, there were many children and women, and even a mecha team built by Azir and the mechanical engineers in the team. Many people who were disabled in the disaster were equipped with mechanical prostheses to improve their mobility.
"We need to open the energy vent as soon as possible, maybe it can provide some relief."
Lin Xian nodded. Seeing Qian Dele, Shuqin and the others were all there, he said to Kiki without stopping, "Open it immediately. Kiki and Ryan, keep an eye on it. I'll go down and take a look."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xian didn't seem to care about opening the energy discharge port, and hurriedly walked towards the submarine deep-water port below. Kiki was stunned and wanted to call Lin Xian, but then saw Ding Junyi following behind Lin Xian, so she took back her words, sat down directly, and controlled the system to start releasing the energy.
"Lin?" Ryan pressed down his sunglasses, a little confused at this time.
"Let's open it right away. He has other things to do." Kiki did not hesitate and started to open the seabed energy discharge gate remotely.
Empty!
As KIKI's fingertips slid across the holographic interface of the console, a sudden mechanical air vibration sound was heard from the waters of Chasang Island, southeast of Haiyan Island, dozens of kilometers away. Under the corpses of the vortex creatures and the seabed, the dark energy discharge gate was being torn open by orange-red cracks.
The alloy gate with a diameter of several meters collapsed with a hydraulic scream, and the accumulated geothermal nuclear energy turned into a molten golden torrent that gushed out. The high temperature instantly vaporized the surrounding seawater, and the expanding bubble cloud swept across the cliff like a nuclear explosion. The moment the radiation reading soared, most of the torso of the vortex creature and the corpses of a large number of strange bodies around it were burned and melted, bursting out gray-brown seabed smoke!
The nuclear energy flow hit the seabed, forming a radial dust storm. The orange-red light penetrated the dark waters, illuminating the thousands of sea worms in the vortex. At this moment, a steam column hundreds of meters high suddenly rose along the coast of Chasang Island, and the boiling sea water washed the charred corpse of the strange body onto the reef. At this time, everyone in the submarine base could only see a bright white color in the surveillance, with no picture signal at all.
“Look!”
Shuqin behind Kiki pointed to the radar monitoring screen. At this moment, the red dots that were originally scattered in the picture seemed to be attracted by something and began to move rapidly towards the center of the radar. There were more and more red dots on the detection screen, and the faces of the onlookers changed drastically. In less than a minute, the radar screen was covered with red dots.
Sasha looked at the light spot on the radar screen and then at the white light screen on the monitoring screen, frowning slightly. She was about to say something when, at this moment, the monitoring screen finally flashed with a delayed picture. A terrifying giant eye suddenly appeared and flashed across the picture, startling many people present.
"Fuck, such big eyes, this is definitely a special-level guy." Lu Chang cursed directly.
Ryan and Vanessa looked at each other, crossed their arms and said, "It's exactly the same as the scene in the previous experiment. As long as it is turned on, the monsters will be attracted."
Qian Dele walked over and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Could it be that your enemy attractant is based on this thing?"
"Almost." Vanessa nodded. "But this thing can't be used directly. Before the invention of the isotropic device, nuclear radiation and dark energy without specific materials were essentially just marker bombs."
"No wonder."
Kiki was monitoring the screen at this time, tapping his fingers, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Good news, it really works. The stability of the device is decreasing, although it's very little. But if we release it at this rate, we can indeed buy some time."
"Tonight?" Vanessa asked.
Kiki shrugged: "What we have to worry about tonight is not the volcano." She tapped the keyboard and called up the radar images around the base. At this moment, the area around the outlying island was already a terrifying scene of strange bodies gathering.
"Let's think about how we're going to deal with this first. It's not dark yet, and there might be even scarier guys out there."
When everyone saw the surveillance footage, they gasped.
"Oh my god, there are so many of them, it's almost like the siege of Dawn City." Sasha's face looked very ugly.
"There aren't that many special-level creatures in Dawn City."
Ning Jing also got out of the car and came to the monitoring hall. "Large strange entities appear one after another, and each one is difficult to deal with. But this sea area is like a concert, with them everywhere."
"Concert..." Qian Dele smiled speechlessly and turned around: "Where's our captain? Is he sure he won't come and see this brutal situation?"
"He knew this would be the result." Kiki said, looking at the surveillance screen. "Now we're just trying to increase the drainage energy to see if we can attract more monsters from the sea to this area. Although it won't relieve any pressure, who knows? What if the giant ocean god sees so many monsters gathered together and starts to attack them?"
Kiki's words made everyone in the monitoring hall feel a chill on the back of their necks. So many giant strange creatures were treated as snacks. You can imagine how terrifying the monster was.
Ryan also exhaled at this time and said to Vanessa in a deep voice
"Vanessa, go check on how the moving is going on Neptune. Abandon any unnecessary items for the time being. No one should be left behind. No one should dawdle."
Vanessa nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he immediately walked outside.
At this time, Lin Xian quickly walked through the corridor and went down the stairs to the lower level of the base's deep-water port. As soon as he entered, a fishy wind from the seabed blew in his face. The huge black water surface of the deep-water port continued to ripple, and the nuclear-powered submarine docked in the port sank and rose slightly.
Lin Xian knew that this was caused by an undersea earthquake. The submarine's deep-water port was directly connected to the underwater cliff off the island. There was no telling how many deep-sea monsters there were. However, he didn't care about this at the moment. Instead, he jumped directly onto the submarine and entered the interior through the watertight compartment.
The interior of the submarine is more spacious than expected. After all, it is a large nuclear-powered submarine that can accommodate 450 people. It is very well equipped and has powerful strategic weapons. However, Lin Xian's purpose in coming here is not to find weapons. He went directly to the control cabin of the submarine, then connected to the computer and began searching.
Kiki had already searched all the information here, so Lin Xian naturally didn't find anything. However, Lin Xian didn't give up. Instead, he started to activate the mechanical heart and began to scan the surrounding devices.
Ding Junyi also followed Lin Xian in. Seeing that Lin Xian was concentrating on searching, she stood silently by the side without saying a word.
After Lin Xian searched for a while without any results, he turned around and looked at Ding Junyi who had followed him: "Director Ding, what are you doing here?"
"What are you looking for?" Ding Junyi asked back.
Lin Xian took a deep breath and speculated, "I previously connected with the spirit of someone from the Foundation and saw a scene in a submarine and deep sea. At the time, I just thought it was in a submarine, but now that I think about it, this group of people from the Holy City were cooperating with the Foundation. They were able to come here and leave so smoothly. Perhaps it was because the Foundation itself had a safe transfer plan."
"Alternative transfer route?" Ding Junyi said.
Lin Xian nodded: "Yes."
"They will definitely not keep such information from you." Ding Junyi said calmly.
"I guessed it." Lin Xian took a deep breath. "I had already asked Ning Jing and Kiki to search for it before, but we didn't expect such a critical situation at the time. Maybe they missed something. They must have detailed deep-sea hydrological information. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from such dangerous waters by relying solely on decoy torpedoes."
Hearing Lin Xian's words, Ding Junyi's eyes lit up. She felt extremely fascinated by the sight of Lin Xian seeking a chance of life and death in such a desperate situation. So she smiled slightly, suppressed the heat in her heart, leaned over, raised her glasses and looked at him.
"What if we're not in a submarine?"
Lin Xian frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian and raised the corner of her lips.
"We are the torpedo."
