Chapter 617 Embers of the Deep Sea

Finally, the Deep Diver also kindly gave Jiang Xiao and others a location coordinate where they could find the altar.

Only when Jiang Xiao and others completely disappeared outside the laboratory did the Deep Diver sigh leisurely.

The sound was like bubbles in the deep sea, rising slowly and finally bursting in the endless darkness.

Its eyes flickered slightly, that was the unique blue color of deep-sea creatures, as if it contained the depth and mystery of the ocean.

The lights in the laboratory reflected its slippery skin, and it slowly turned its body, as if reflecting on something.

In fact, there are indeed different voices and opinions among their Deep Divers.

Some tribesmen believe that although human crimes are serious, they are not worth exterminating.

They proposed a more moderate plan-demanding huge compensation, so huge that humans need to cultivate their character for hundreds of years.

This is used as compensation for marine pollution, and at the same time warns humans not to commit it again.

After all, human extinction is not the best choice for the Deep Divers.

Although the existence of human beings has brought many problems, it also maintains a certain balance of the earth's ecology invisibly.

Once humans disappear, those balances may be broken, eventually leading to new disasters.

Moreover, the deep diver also knows that human wisdom and creativity are very valuable.

If it can be guided to the right track, it may bring new hope to the ocean and even the entire earth.

The deep diver in front of him belongs to the peace faction.

It sneaked to the land just to talk to humans.

But he was beaten up by Bai Liu the first time he showed up.

Of course, it also had the idea of ​​how strong the human strongman was at that time, so it didn't explain during the battle.

But the second time it couldn't hold it.

Originally, it wanted to talk to Bai Liu calmly, but it didn't expect to be killed in seconds when it showed up.

That little electromagnetic, howling, it was a good thing that it didn't send it away on the spot!

The deep diver's thoughts wandered in such considerations. It knew that this game with humans was not only about destruction.

It even imagined that if it could reach some kind of agreement with humans, then the two races might be able to achieve real reconciliation and jointly protect this planet.

Of course, they say they will coexist peacefully, but in fact they will ask humans to sign various unequal treaties.

Let humans work for their deep divers.

Its green skin flashes with a strange luster under the light. It is the color of the deep sea and the unknown.

The deep divers know that the tribe they belong to needs to make a choice, and this choice will affect the entire ocean and even the future of the entire world of ghost stories.

Jiang Xiao entered the conference room of the Shanghai-Hong Kong base, and the tense atmosphere in his heart was like an invisible net that tightly wrapped them.

When they discussed the problem with the experts, they did not mention the three words "Cthulhu".

After all, ordinary people would probably encounter unspeakable things when they heard these three words.

They just told everyone that to solve the disaster in front of them, they must go to a certain location in the deep sea.

"The depth of this coordinate"

An ocean expert frowned, his face full of doubts and worries.

"The water pressure there is enough to crush a person into a meat pie. I mean, even if you wear our most advanced diving suit, you will be crushed into a meat pie. How can we get down?"

"And."

Another female expert took over the conversation, with a tremor in her voice.

"That coordinate, let alone human flesh and blood, that depth has exceeded the limit of our existing diving equipment. We have no way to get there."

For a while, the discussion in the Shanghai-Hong Kong base was one after another, and everyone's face showed a worried look.

They all knew that the deep sea must contain unknown dangers, and it was a field that human technology had not yet completely conquered.

"We can't just give up."

Bai Liu's voice was particularly firm in the discussion.

"We must find a way, even if it means risking our lives."

Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"I know it sounds crazy, but we have no choice. If we don't go, the disaster will continue to spread and countless lives will disappear."

His words caused a brief silence in the originally noisy base.

Everyone knew that this was a race against time, and they didn't have much time to waste.

"I have an idea."

An oceanographer named Lin Feng stood up, with a gleam in his eyes.

"We can try to modify the nuclear submarine to increase its pressure resistance. Although it is very risky, this is the only way at present."

"Reconstruct the nuclear submarine?" Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up: "Then what are we waiting for? Start now!"

"Bullshit! How can it be that easy! You oceanographers know nothing! You just talk nonsense!"

An expert from the Ministry of National Defense stood up and said that it was a nuclear submarine!

"It is made of cutting-edge materials in our world. How can we find a stronger material to replace it in a short time?"

"And it doesn't mean that the material strength is enough to be modified. We still have to see if it can fit. After all, no matter how strong the diamond is, you can't use it as a fan, right?"

That's true.

"Unless."

Another expert said slowly.

"Unless the limit of the nuclear submarine can be compressed, I mean, it only needs to reach that depth."

It only needs to reach that depth?

Does that mean that we don't need to worry about whether the people on the nuclear submarine can come back?

Oh, no.

To be precise, they definitely can't come back.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet.

"Can some robots be sent down?"

"Impossible, this thing is weaker than the human body, especially high-precision robots. Don't be fooled by things in science fiction movies."

Uh.

This is true.

Jiang Xiao remembered that when he was a child, the dean would occasionally give him some robot toys during the New Year, and they would break if they were bumped or hit.

It is indeed not banned.

"Is that the only way?"

If possible, Jiang Xiao does not want to fill it with human lives, and even if so, it may not solve the problem.

"There is not only one way, and there is no other way for the time being."

These experts believe that as long as humans are given enough time and the world's most advanced talents, equipment, and materials are gathered, reaching that depth is not a problem.

But the problem is that there is not so much time for humans now.

After a moment of silence, everyone tacitly discussed this plan for the time being.

But new problems have arisen again.

This operation is clearly a matter of life and death. How many people should be sent? Whose people should be sent?

These are the key points.

For a moment, the debate in the conference room rang out again, and everyone's faces showed anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Some people thought that the navy should send elites, while others suggested that the best researchers should be selected by scientific research institutions, and some even suggested directly drawing personnel from the special forces.

In the dispute, one reason and rebuttal came one after another, and the atmosphere was tense and chaotic.

Jiang Xiao looked at all this, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

He knew that this operation not only required soldiers with strong physical fitness, but also scholars with a deep knowledge background.

Because they not only had to face the extreme environment of the deep sea, but also had a high probability of communicating with the deep divers with extraordinary wisdom.

In this case, it is impossible to arrange some reckless men with strong limbs and simple minds to negotiate and communicate, right?

"Everyone be quiet!"

Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly rang in the conference room, and his eyes were firm and powerful.

"What we need now is not quarrels, but a practical plan. For this operation, we need all-round talents. They must have extraordinary physiques and rich knowledge reserves."

"We need people who can survive in extreme environments and have high emotional intelligence. If they encounter deep divers, they can communicate with them in a friendly manner. They must also have deep marine experience to deal with various complex situations that may arise. We cannot let any link go wrong, otherwise not only us, but the entire human race will face destruction."

"Everyone should be brave, it's no big deal! This is for the survival of mankind! You experts are still arguing at this time, what a disgrace!"

"This operation is the responsibility of all of us. Obligation, is the indomitable spirit!"

Jiang Xiao's words made the people present deaf, and everyone felt a little hot on their faces.

As native personnel in the world of ghost stories, their awareness is not as good as that of Lord Mozi.

Seeing the ashamed expressions of these people, Jiang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Besides, if you don't go and he doesn't go, do you want me to go?"

Everyone: ? ? ?

You fucking %￥ # %!

"So, how should we select these people?"

An old general stood up and asked, his voice steady and powerful.

"We can select the best candidates from various fields, and then conduct rigorous physical and knowledge tests."

Lin Feng put forward his own ideas.

"Only those who perform well in the test are qualified to participate in this operation."

"I agree."

Another expert nodded in agreement.

"We need the elite of the elite, and no mistakes are allowed."

After some discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus.

They decided to screen out personnel from all over the country who have reached a certain standard in physical fitness and knowledge level.

Then they will be subjected to a series of tests and training to ensure that they are competent for this dangerous mission to the deep sea.

In the next few days, elites from all over the country were urgently summoned.

Among them are naval divers, top scholars from scientific research institutes, and elite members of special forces.

Finally, they were taken to a secret base and began rigorous selection and training.

Everyone knew that they were about to face unprecedented challenges, or to put it bluntly, they were going to die.

But for the future of mankind, they had no room to retreat.

They must embrace the unknown deep sea journey with the strongest will and the most firm belief.

Deep Sea Embers!

There has been significant progress in the world of ghost stories.

But Director Wang on Blue Star has aged by a dozen years in just a few days.

Director Wang stood in front of the pyramid, looking at the ancient building with a heavy gaze.

Ever since Sun Wei disappeared, he knew that this pyramid was not ordinary, and it hid unknown secrets, which might be related to the future of mankind.

He has sent out several teams, each of which is composed of elites, and everyone is an expert who has been strictly selected and specially trained.

However, every expedition ended in failure, and no one was able to uncover the mystery of the pyramid.

What made Director Wang even more heartbroken was that many of these expedition teams never came back.

Their deaths were extremely strange, some seemed to be crushed by invisible forces, and some had expressions of fear and pain on their faces.

It was as if they saw something incredible at the last moment of their lives.

Director Wang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the fluctuations in his heart.

He knew that this was not a solution, and he had to find the key to solve the mystery of the pyramid.

At this moment, a figure hurried over, it was his right-hand man-Li Gang.

"Director, we have found new clues." Li Gang's voice was a little excited.

Director Wang opened his eyes and turned around quickly: "Speak."

"We found some strange symbols on the periphery of the pyramid. These symbols have never appeared in previous expeditions. What we can't understand the most is that the location of the symbols is very remote inside the pyramid, but for some reason they are well preserved. This is very abnormal!"

"We invited experts to analyze it. They think it may be an ancient code."

A gleam of light flashed in Director Wang's eyes.

"Code? You mean, these symbols may be the key to the secret of the pyramid?"

Li Gang nodded: "Yes, we have started to decipher it, but it will take time."

Director Wang pondered for a moment: "We don't have much time. You should immediately organize the best cryptographers and archaeologists to crack these symbols with all your strength."

"Yes, Director!" Li Gang took action immediately.

Director Wang looked at the pyramid again, and his anxiety and sense of urgency became stronger.

He knew that every failure of the expedition meant the loss of life, and he couldn't let anyone sacrifice in vain.

As he stared at the pyramid, something seemed to be peeping at him in the shadow of the pyramid, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

What kind of secrets does this pyramid hide? Why does it pose such a huge threat to mankind?

Director Wang knew that he had to find the answer as soon as possible.

He not only had to avenge the sacrificed warriors, but also had to uncover the mystery of this pyramid for the future of mankind.

Wait?

Symbols? For some reason, Director Wang had an idea and called Li Gang back.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I have an idea."

After a pause, Director Wang continued.

"What I mean is, while deciphering the secrets, can we copy these symbols and make them into a talisman for the team entering the pyramid to wear and see the effect?"
