Chapter 456 Crossing the Deep Sea!
Seeing the vast and dazzling ocean "Milky Way" under the deep sea, everyone is nervous and afraid of the strange ocean currents.
At Lin Xian's command, Infinity and Beifeng 09 immediately started propulsion when the crustal volcanic lava rose from the deep sea like hell. The two submersibles, which seemed extremely small under the deep ocean currents, began to head towards the "Galaxy" vortex. The propeller power was turned to the maximum, and the team members in each car were all on edge. All the power armor that could be activated was ready, and all the protection that could be taken and the handrails that could be grabbed were not left out.
Ning Jing, Qian Dele and other strong men from the Infinity team gathered in carriage 78, and together with Vanessa, they worked together to protect the ordinary members of the Falcon Sea Regiment who landed on the Infinity. On the Beifeng 09, each compartment was also facing a serious enemy. The child was trapped in the roll basket, and everyone in the rest area locked their hands and held on tightly. The air was completely quiet, leaving only a tense atmosphere.
Ryan watched the Infinity rushing towards the whirlpool. He took off his sunglasses, gritted his teeth, and with a look of determination in his eyes, he said fiercely, "This is really exciting. Go ahead!"
In the cockpit of Infinity, Chen Sixuan and Ding Junyi strapped themselves to the driver's seat with seat belts. KIKI floated in the air, releasing all her supernatural powers. Her telekinesis was like an invisible film, gently covering Infinity, while Ryunosuke was responsible for taking care of Beifeng 09 in the back.
[Flow rate: 9 m/s, 12 m/s, 15 m/s! Attitude control failed. Prepare to retract the fin stabilizers and enter the outer ring of the vortex.]
Woo woo woo!
Inside the Infinity, various alarm instruments kept blaring. As the speed of the torrent outside accelerated, the Infinity was swept up by the powerful ocean current and began to flip and tilt, and was swept into the edge of the vortex.
"It's a gamble, life or death."
Lin Xian's eyes flickered as he watched the blue water outside the porthole become increasingly dense, and the pressure-resistant shell of the entire train emitted bursts of accelerated whimpering sounds. He took a deep breath, and the nano-powered armor behind him directly transformed into 6 spider legs to hold himself tightly, and then he put all his strength into operating the mechanical heart.
At this time, his mechanical heart had completely given up control, and only one thought remained: to repair the fatigued metal!
Buzz buzz buzz!
[Flow rate: 18 m/s, 20 m/s, 22 m/s! ]
Viola's calm voice sounded extremely sharp amid the sound of the instrument alarms. At this moment, there was only a restless buzzing in the ears of Lin Xian and others, and only noise in the communicator. The Infinity was like a coin caught in a giant ocean washing machine. The inky sea water outside the porthole suddenly disappeared, and the liquid galaxy composed of trillions of geothermal microorganisms turned into an endless blue light band, which stretched into a silk ribbon of light across the abyss under the pull of centrifugal force!
Start entering the center of the super vortex!
[The current speed thrusters have lost their escape power, and the flow rate has reached 25 meters per second! Carriages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have begun to deform their metal!]
Woo!!
"I know!"
Lin Xian's roar was drowned out by the wailing of metal, and the straight carriage passage at the rear began to deform violently like a twisted pretzel.
"KIKI, don't let the Infinity be torn apart!"
"I know that too!" KIKI clenched her teeth at this moment, her eyes like hot electricity, and the supernatural fluctuations bursting out of her body had begun to cause energy distortion around her body. Her task was to solidify the outer structure of the Infinity's pressure hull. As long as the outer structure was not torn, Lin Xian could use his supernatural power to continuously repair metal fatigue and maintain stability.
Chen Sixuan closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to resist the huge load, while Ding Junyi beside her was almost fainting. She had no combat experience and was pressed to the seat by the seat belt with a pale face. While her consciousness was drifting, she said intermittently
"Lin Xian...my special ability...can it help?"
Lin Xian shouted directly in her ear: "Focus on protecting yourself, and ignore the rest!!"
The ocean current has reached 32 meters per second. We are approaching the center of the vortex. The peak velocity at the core is expected to exceed 50 meters per second. Special reminder: if it reaches 35 meters per second, the stress will exceed the pressure hull limit!
50 meters per second, almost reaching the wind speed of a level 17 typhoon, but what they were trapped in was not a typhoon, but a deep-sea current with a physical nature!
Bang!
In carriage No. 3, the seed bag protected by Xiaoyuan's hand on the vine protection column exploded with a bang, and the seeds sprayed out of the entire carriage. The black dragon armor of the building in carriage No. 5 was like a hammer buckled in the middle of the carriage, protecting Mo Xiaotian and Shasha on the left and right. In the rest carriage, all kinds of canned food that were imprisoned exploded with a bang, spraying the carriage. In the carriage behind, many people were dizzy and the situation was extremely tragic.
The entire Infinity column was like a whip being whipped under the terrifying centrifugal force of the vortex. The high-speed water flow caused scorching heat waves on the pressure hull, and steam bubbles completely enveloped the Infinity. At the same time, the hot lava erupted from the Garan volcano like hell rising, and countless giant lava columns shot up into the sky, forming dark red pillars in this vortex galaxy.
Infinity and Nordic 09 were passively caught in the huge rotating torrent. They could not control the direction, the flipping, or escape. The only thing they could do was to hold on and pray that the pressure hull would not be torn apart.
In comparison, the Kitakaze 09 is slightly better than the Infinity. As the Federation's integrated Abyss-class nuclear submarine, its pressure resistance is better than that of the Infinity. Although Lin Xian and Mochizuki Shinji put a lot of effort into the configuration and materials when manufacturing the deep-diving module, the Infinity is a land train after all, and it is only covered with a shell, so its resistance to manufacturing is indeed flawed.
On the Infinity side, it can only rely entirely on the cooperation of Lin Xian and KIKI to ensure that the Infinity is not torn apart by the increasingly violent abyss vortex. At this moment, Lin Xian wishes he could summon the Black Star Forge to help him repair it automatically, but he knows that this is simply impossible. At this time, he can only rely on his own will, scanning the main structure of the train in a loop and madly pouring his strength into repairing it!
The honeycomb support on the roof made a sharp sound of metal fatigue, and a crack half a palm wide was torn at the joint of carriage No. 3. The high-pressure water jet was forcibly pulled by KIKI's telekinesis field the moment it pierced in, and then welded together by Lin Xian using his supernatural power. When the flow rate exceeded 35 meters per second, the entire train sank suddenly, and everyone felt like they were hit in the chest by a huge hammer. Lin Xian only heard a loud bang, and looked towards the porthole, and found that countless fluorescent blue bubbles of varying sizes began to appear outside, which looked extremely weird.
"What... is that?!"
[Analysis suggests that these are likely superpressure cavitation bubbles in the core of the Jingyuan vortex, a unique phenomenon caused by high-speed water flow.] Viola, like a guardian angel, steadily responded to Lin Xian's questions. [Superpressure cavitation bubbles can cause tiny explosions on metal surfaces, releasing energy and high temperatures, causing corrosion to the pressure hull. This is a common problem for submarines underwater. The type of superpressure cavitation bubbles we encountered will cause even greater damage to the main structure.]
"What?" Kiki gritted her teeth and said, "How long until we reach a stable flow?!"
We are at least 1.4 nautical miles away from the stable runoff, at the center of the vortex. We estimate it will take another three minutes, but the problem is that we may not be able to survive for more than a minute under the impact of this overpressure cavitation bubble, and the flow velocity in the vortex layer may reach 39 meters per second.
"What should we do then, Lin Xian?" KIKI asked Lin Xian.
Boom!!!
The entire Infinity train was now erupting with sharp sounds of metal fatigue, and the pressure hulls in various parts were making disturbing disintegration sounds. At this time, Lin Xian was trying hard to endure the terrifying load, and looked at the data on the screen with half-open eyes.
Azimuth 274, depth 2420 meters!
"There's... a way!" Lin Xian's face was bulging with veins, and he said to KIKI in a low growl, "Find a stable angle, and shoot the Infinity directly into the center!"
"ah?!"
"This plan is not recommended. Entering the center of the vortex from the horizontal direction will cause us to encounter the immense tangential force of the ocean current, turbulence, and shear stress, which will instantly disintegrate the Infinity," Viola warned immediately.
"What if the entire train is placed in the AT field at the same time?!"
"The whole train?" Kiki asked, "Can you handle it?"
"no problem."
"What about Ryan and his nuclear submarines?"
"I can handle it!"
KIKI's eyes grew serious when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay."
"Ryunosuke, do you hear me?" Lin Xian shouted at this time: "Later, you will do the same as KIKI, hold on to Beifeng 09!"
"Please rest assured, I will live up to your trust!" Ryunosuke's hoarse voice came.
"Okay! Here we go!"
Lin Xian gritted his teeth, and while resisting the erosion of the Infinity in the overpressure cavitation bubble, he continued to repair himself and stay in the air. At the same time, he forced himself to stay conscious. He looked at the azimuth and kept adjusting the connection angles of the various carriages of the Infinity.
275, 276
Carriages 3 and 4 have been adjusted.
277, 278
The connection between carriages 7 and 8 is stable!
279, 280!
When the azimuth angle was adjusted to 280, Lin Xian suddenly shouted
"Get started!"
Upon hearing this, KIKI didn't hesitate and angrily snorted. He used all his strength and worked with Ryunosuke to wrap the Infinity and the North 09 with telekinesis, and shot them towards the galactic core of the super vortex. In an instant, the two abyss submersibles broke through the violent vortex ocean current under the wrapping of telekinesis, and pierced through the deep ocean current like sharp arrows!
"ah!!"
Just a breath later, KIKI immediately let out a cry of pain, and Ryunosuke behind him was also in a bad situation. No matter how strong a person's supernatural power is, it is nothing more than a firefly in the face of the super power of nature. What's more, this is a super vortex with a speed of nearly 40 meters per second at 2,500 meters below the Pacific Ocean.
The terrifying force immediately made the two men lose their strength, their mental strength collapsed, blood splattered into the power armor masks, and they lost consciousness.
And in this short period of time, two giant manned submersibles have been shot out a long distance in the rapids!
[Ocean current speed has reached 42 meters per second! Warning, you have entered the vortex, do not go any further into the core!]
Just when KIKI and Ryunosuke fell unconscious and all their mental power disappeared from the metal pressure-resistant hulls of Infinity and Kitakaze 09, Lin Xian, who was in the cockpit of Infinity, suddenly opened his eyes. The six mechanical arms on his body began to burst out with surging arcs of electricity, and the mechanical operations started.
At this moment, the three power units of the Infinity's Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive, the Star 5C nuclear power, and the Gemini 11R nuclear power electric locomotive, which were drifting in the deep ocean currents, suddenly burst out with a roar of power, and the three superstring reactor phase rainbow rings were fully opened, and nearly 500,000 kilowatts of energy gathered on him!
In an instant, Lin Xian's whole body was shining with billions of electric arcs, and violent energy beams began to burst out from his pupils.
"AT force field, open it!!!"
Lin Xian roared loudly, and the white AT force field suddenly vibrated from his body, accompanied by 500 million terrifying energies, like a polygonal shield that opened up a diameter of thousands of meters, directly wrapping up the Infinity and Beifeng 09 nuclear submarines, and then collided with the destructive hydrostatic pressure under the deep ocean and the high-speed turbulence of the super vortex.
In an instant, Lin Xian felt that the sound in his ears disappeared instantly, leaving only a sharp tinnitus in the depths of his consciousness. The whole person seemed to have shifted mentally. In his sight, the blue ocean currents outside the inverted porthole turned into parallel light bands. The whole train seemed to have entered the high-altitude corridor it once was and started high-energy acceleration!
Everything turned into a silent world. The Infinity and Beifeng 09 nuclear submarines were like warheads that had hit the shock wave of the propellant explosion. The moment they entered the center of the vortex, they were swept into a winding ocean current that stretched to the far end of the ocean. It was a super ocean current lit up by azure microorganisms, and this high-speed ocean current was exactly - Jingyuan Vortex!
[Ocean current speed reduced to 30 m/s…]
[Has entered a stable runoff state…]
[Adjust the merging attitude and deploy the preset fin stabilizers.]
[Internal oxygen pressurization in progress...]
Viola's voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near in Lin Xian's ears. He tried to open his eyes, but found that the HUD of his power armor was full of blood mist sprayed by himself. The back of his head was in great pain, and his whole body was filled with the stench of burning electric arcs. He didn't know what his situation was at the moment, but the voice from Viola made him know that his plan should have succeeded.
At least the Infinity's cockpit wasn't flooded.
Beep beep! !
The violent alarm flashed and rang out. Lin Xian opened his eyes again and untied the mask of his power armor. He looked up and saw the cracked stardust porthole in front of him and the blue deep sea turbulence outside with light flowing straight. The lights in the cockpit flickered. He heard the sound of his lungs wheezing like an hourglass. He glanced around and saw KIKI, Chen Sixuan and Ding Junyi who were unconscious due to the impact and the huge load. He immediately struggled to call Viola.
"Viola..."
[All auxiliary and medical drones have been dispatched to provide rescue services to the entire train. Please rest assured that Ms. Shiori and Qian Dele are assisting.]
Lin Xian slowly turned around and found that the twisted corridor of the carriage was filled with dark energy fluctuations from the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and a green healing power. Shizhi, wearing that special power armor, was jumping and rushing towards him as fast as an astronaut.
"Lin, please hold on!" Shiori's anxious voice sounded in her ears.
When an extremely cool force rushed into Lin Xian's internal organs and brain, Lin Xian knew that his crazy plan had succeeded again and he survived again.
He didn't know how much energy was released in total by the three power sources of the entire train, plus his own superstring reactor. He only knew that in an instant he felt the scale of the force field used to control the Gray Mist Messenger before, which was extremely violent.
"Lattice?" Lin muttered to himself.
"No... For me, energy power should be king!"
