Chapter 356: 'Deep Sea Warrior' goes to the deep sea again
"Duan Bo, think it over carefully. You really don't need to get off this time." Xiao Peng said to Duan Bo who was sitting in the control room.
Duan Bo said, "This time, I almost caused a disaster because of my stubbornness. I want to make up for my mistake."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. You're braver than Moreau, so you continued exploring under those circumstances. But sometimes being brave isn't always a good thing. We know too little about the ocean, and even less about the Black Sea. We must have a deep respect for the ocean."
Duan Bo nodded: "Boss, I understand!"
At this time, Morrow's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, I can still hear you! Are you calling me a coward?"
"I'm praising you!" Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "Hua Chong, I understand Duan Bo coming down, but what do you mean by following him?"
Hua Chong shrugged and said, "If Duan Bo is going to operate the HOV, then someone has to operate the micro ROV, right? I'm really worried about your operating skills. I think it's wrong for you to get off. I always feel like you're just a passenger taking up a seat. I'd rather let Xiao Zhou come down and take your place."
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at Hua Chong and said, "If you want to die, don't drag others along. I have a serious question for you two: Have you both made a will?"
After hearing Xiao Peng's question, the cockpit instantly became quiet.
"I've written it." Duan Bo said.
Hua Chong laughed and said, "Why write that? I have confidence in our domestic equipment. We checked the batteries five or six times on the boat last night, and Xiao Zhou conducted simulated dive tests more than a dozen times. The overall conclusion is that our batteries will definitely be enough. Boss, we will definitely come back safely."
Xiao Peng was silent for a moment before saying, "I really regret not having an extra cigarette on the boat. Don't worry, both of you. I've made all the arrangements. If anything goes wrong, you'll each receive 50 million euros for resettlement."
"Fuck!" Hua Chong said to Duan Bo after hearing this: "Brother, when I heard this amount of money, I feel like it's better for us to get into trouble."
Xiao Peng's face turned pale. He picked up the intercom and said, "Fabian, did you hear that? I'm going to change my will now. If anything happens, I won't give them any money to settle down!"
"Haha! Boss, it turns out you get scared sometimes!" Duan Bo and Hua Chong laughed together.
"Nonsense, I don't want to be buried with you two!" Xiao Peng said angrily.
At this time, Xiao Zhou's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, the 'Deep Sea Warrior' has been inspected and can be filled with water and dived!"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and turned serious. "Remove the communication cables and activate underwater acoustic communication after diving a thousand meters. Fill with water in three minutes! Start the countdown!"
"Boss, Duan Bo, Hua Chong, good luck!" Chen Cheng said this in the ship's offline room and began to give orders: "Lao Yang, disconnect the communication cables and evacuate the frogmen. Xiao Zhou, pay attention to the guidance route. The offline room is now under your command!"
"Yes!" The boat began to get busy.
Three minutes later, Xiao Peng of the Deep Sea Warrior watched the countdown end: "Fill in water and dive!"
The main water tank of the 'Deep Sea Warrior' began to fill with water and slowly dived into the depths of the ocean.
Xiao Peng put on his mask again and held a camera. "Well, it's been a while since I've had a live broadcast with you guys. Now this isn't a live broadcast, it's a recording. Everyone can see, I'm inside the 'Deep Sea Warrior' and we're diving. To save power, we won't be using the searchlight, but I can show you something surprising."
He pointed the camera at the observation hole and could clearly see a small white object above the water not far away.
Xiao Peng explained: "The white circle you see is an ocean vortex, a huge thing with a diameter of one kilometer and a depth of over one hundred meters. Don't think that this one hundred meters is very deep. In fact, considering the one kilometer diameter, this depth is not deep, but its energy cannot be underestimated. That's why our ship dare not approach it. Now we are docked about ten nautical miles away from the vortex. You will feel that the vortex is very small. What we have to do is dive from here and then approach the area where the shipwreck is located from the seabed. This seems safe, but there are two problems: the first is to test the battery of the 'Deep Sea Warrior'. Ten nautical miles may not sound far. But that's still sixteen kilometers. At Deepsea Warrior's speed, it would take three hours to get there and another three hours to return, a tremendous challenge for the Deepsea Warrior's batteries. Another issue is that we can't guarantee whether the vortex will expand or dissipate, given our limited understanding of the Black Sea's hydrological conditions. This area is inherently dangerous and sparsely populated, and global warming is causing many ocean currents to flow in completely different directions. We're embarking on a truly courageous expedition. It's finally starting to feel like an 'ocean exploration company.'
Xiao Peng pointed the camera at Duan Bo and Hua Chong and said, "Let me introduce you to two more warriors. These two are the HOV pilot Duan Bo and the micro-ROV pilot and manipulator operator Hua Chong. In fact, neither of them was originally a member of the Deep Sea Warrior's crew. They volunteered to participate in this mission and even wrote wills to ensure their participation. They are true Deep Sea Warriors. I say, both of you, please speak quickly."
After hearing this, Duan Bo waved his hands and said, "What's there to say about this?"
Hua Chong asked, "Boss, is this thing waterproof?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If something really happens, this will be our final image."
Hua Chong grinned, "Boss, you can still laugh. OK, since you're like this, I can't be too cowardly. Can I use this to find a husband? I just thought about it and it feels so unworthy. How can I do this on impulse when I'm not even married and don't have children?"
Duan Bo said, "Hua Chong, what you should care about is how much money the boss will give us as a bonus when we return this time. After all, we are here to risk our lives. With your looks, how can you get married without money?"
"I'm not much more handsome than you!" Hua Chong retorted, "You look so ugly that even calling you ugly is a compliment!"
Xiao Peng coughed dryly twice. "Can you please stop being like this? You should feel a little sad. After all, this could be the last image of our lives."
Duan Bo said with a bitter face, "Boss, I want to be sad, but when I think about a billionaire sitting next to me and being buried with me, I can't be sad at all. This is not a life experience that everyone has!"
Hua Chong and Duan Bo high-fived each other and said, "Actually, that's what I think too: I only know one billionaire on this planet, and there's a chance we might die together. I'm kind of happy about that. What do you say, let's work together to unmask the boss?"
"Alright, stop messing around. Duan Bo, keep an eye on the sonar and shut down unnecessary energy waste." Xiao Peng said, "We're really in a dead end now."
