There was a slight ripple in the water, and the last layer of pressure-resistant door opened. Jiang Ling looked down tentatively, but the flexibility of this exoskeleton was not very good, so she could only open the abdominal viewfinder.
"Signal incoming."
"Yuanyu 2: I sent you the topographic map. I just took a quick look and see several compressional fault hills below. Over."
"Receiving. How deep is it down there? Over." Jiang Ling asked.
"Not very deep. Didn't Old Ning tell you? The fourth generation, with its enhanced pressure resistance, can dive to a maximum depth of 5,000 meters. This time we're only halfway there! Only about 2,600 meters."
"What? How much?" Jiang Ling used the exoskeleton's built-in calculator to calculate. The water pressure at the bottom of the ocean, conservatively estimated, was 270 atmospheres. But knowing the data was meaningless to her. No matter how deep it was, she had to go down there.
"Yuanyu No. 3: How do we get down? Over." She asked hurriedly.
"...Jump." After a long while, the voice of Political Commissar Xiao came.
Jiang Ling saw that his signal was becoming unstable, and thought that he had gone ahead to explore the way ahead. Without further delay, she mustered her courage and released her grip on the ladder.
After passing through the red circle at the opening below, Jiang Ling was shrouded in darkness. She could only see the readings displayed on the visor constantly changing. The depth gauge first increased to two decimal places, then changed to ones, then tens, and finally stabilized at a uniform change range.
It was difficult to sense the passage of time while free-sinking, but fortunately the exoskeleton had its own timekeeping system. Its system would give a voice prompt every 100 meters of depth, which prevented Jiang Ling from falling into the fear of the deep sea, although she didn't really need it.
After a brief acceleration, she felt gravity again. It was a very strange feeling. Sometimes she felt that the ground under her feet was down, and sometimes she felt that the ground above her head was down.
Some people say that even when you are weightless, you can still feel gravity - but that feeling is just an illusion.
Jiang Ling decided to take the opportunity to verify this statement, so she turned on the exoskeleton's gyroscope - as expected, rumors are always inaccurate.
She found that she was affected by the water flow without knowing when, and was flipping up and down at a speed of three turns per minute. The acceleration made her feel top-heavy, but this illusion could not be simply described by the feeling of gravity.
She tried to retract her arms and legs, changing the irregular shape of the exoskeleton into a more oval shape. This approach quickly took effect. The resistance of the sea water caused the exoskeleton to oscillate several times, and then stabilized in an upside-down movement posture.
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Political Commissar Xiao's signal. His signal had been intermittent during the previous period.
At some point, she received this message:
"Calling Abyssal Fish No. 2, there are multiple transition layers below, please note the depth..."
