The Ministry of Security dispatched a submarine, the Blue Whale, loaded with enough drinking water and food for three months, as well as some underwater robots and building materials, to sail into the seas of the Kraken at dawn a week later. The five teams participating in the mission this week have been conducting deep-sea adaptation training, submarine structural principles and knowledge learning about combustible ice mining. However, even in a high-pressure environment, the simulation is still different from the real deep sea. The small space inside the submarine and the endless deep sea outside will put a lot of pressure on people's spirits. All were subjected to meticulous psychological assessments, and were also regularly assessed by Tan Mingyuan and Ashes during the mission.
Although the working environment was described as scary, Tang Yi was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Lying in bed tossing and turning at night, the mercury could not sleep well.
"Mercury, have you been to the outer sea?" Tang Yi reached out and poked the shoulder of the Kraken who turned his back to him. Mercury sighed and had no choice but to open his eyes.
"Two or three times, they went to attack rebel strongholds."
"I mean the deep ocean."
"… No."
"Aren't you excited? For the Kraken, isn't it like going home?"
Mercury was silent, and Tang Yi couldn't see the expression on his face.
After a while, Mercury said in a flat voice, "How can the Kraken still have a home?"
Tang Yi closed his mouth, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. After a long while, Tang Yi suddenly laughed, "It's good to have no family! I don't have a family, and I don't have a family anymore. A good man has to be a family all over the world!"
Even if he doesn't believe it himself.
What is the concept of home, even he himself is not very clear. Is an orphanage a home? Does the army count? Is the current Kraken team considered home
Seems like something is missing.
Mercury turned over and turned to lie face to face with Tang Yi. Mercury's gaze was faint, and it swept over Tang Yi's thick sword eyebrows and the slightly raised corners of his eyes. Seeing Tang Yi's heart beating faster, his cheeks were hot.
"Do you miss him?" Mercury suddenly asked.
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Mercury was asking.
For four months, Mercury never mentioned Tang Ya.
Tang Yi felt as if he had been punched in the chest, stuffy. He didn't speak, just nodded.
Mercury blinked slowly, "I don't understand why he never mentioned you to me."
Tang Yi grinned hard, smiling a bit ugly, "Maybe it's because he hates me. I'm not a good brother. I admire him for having better luck than me, and I hate the way he pretends to be aggressive all day, so I like to give it to him. He gets stuck, quarrels as soon as they meet, and sometimes fights." Seeing Mercury's slightly surprised eyes, Tang Yi sneered, "Don't worry, I usually get beaten badly in the end."
"If he hated you, he wouldn't go to see you from time to time." Mercury's eyes seemed a little far-reaching, probably because he was caught in the memory to find the person he was thinking of, "I only know now that every two weeks of the year During the holidays, he would always set aside a day to go out quietly, but he never took me with him, nor did he tell me where to go. When I asked him, he only said that he was going out to relax. Now I understand that he is going to see you. "
Tang Yi remembered that he was always impatient when Tang Ya sent a text message to ask him to meet once a year, but now, he couldn't see him even if he wanted to. It's like that between relatives.
Mercury drew down her long silver eyelashes, covering the fluctuating mood in her eyes, "Sometimes, I suspect that I don't know him well."
Tang Yi blinked inexplicably, "Don't talk nonsense, you two sleep together all day and you don't know him yet?"
Mercury raised one eyebrow, "Don't you and I sleep together all day long?"
Tang Yi blushed, "That's different!"
"There's a place in his heart that I'll never touch. No matter how hard I try." Mercury sighed, smiling like a self-deprecating smile with a hint of sadness, "Maybe I know you better than him. more."
Hearing this sentence in Tang Yi's ears, it had a strange effect on him. The depression in his chest suddenly lightened, and there was even a little bit of hilarity.
But what was he secretly delighting about? Isn't this an irony that he has no depth and is seen through with a single glance...
In the early morning, the 15th detachment and the other four detachments were ready to set off with heavy marching bags on their backs. Tang Yi was surprised to find that Qu Lan was also wearing a marching uniform and carrying luggage, and beside him was a tall Kraken that he had never seen before. momentum.
Qu Lan actually wanted to direct the action in person. It seems that this time the task is more important than they thought.
The morning sun is rising in front of the deep water port, the clouds and mountains on the horizon are changing in colorful splendor, and the dim sea is also rendered in color, extending its majestic arms along the vast planet. The majestic ships on the pier are condensed into thick silhouettes, and the dilapidated lighthouse in the distance is also covered with a layer of sacred light. The submarine really lay on the water like a huge blue whale, its cylindrical body was shiny black, and the traces of vicissitudes on the outer shell showed that it was also a battle-hardened fighter.
Tang Yi had never seen a submarine so close, let alone inside. He listened to Qu Lan's lectures casually in his ears, but his thoughts had long since drifted into the circular entrance on the blue whale's back. At this time, a submarine crew deliberately walked over from the boarding board and opened the guardrail as if to welcome someone. Immediately after, more than a dozen people dressed in various civilian clothes passed by them with suitcases, probably those scholars from the Energy Bureau.
Tang Yi's eyes were fixed on one of the young men with blue hair.
Why does she look so familiar...
The experts boarded the ship, and all the Kraken fighters lined up behind them, climbing down the ladder from the narrow entrance in front of the central control tower. The submarine looks huge from the outside, but the aisles and spaces inside are very narrow, and some aisles can only accommodate one person. Directly down from the entrance to the second floor is the sleeping compartment. Each room has upper and lower bunks, with a total of ten bunks, just enough to accommodate the players of one team. The crowded room made it a little difficult for everyone to turn around. After the initial placement of luggage, all the team members gathered at the bridge to explain the precautions for boarding and initial assignment of tasks.
The bridge is very spacious, in the shape of eight sides, and each wall is a display screen, reflecting the scene outside the submarine, making people feel like they are in a transparent glass box, floating and sinking on the vast ocean. The precise console is projected in the air, and the image of Blue Whale's main computer "Dark Blue" is a beautiful girl in maid costume with double ponytails, projected on the captain's seat in the middle of the bridge, the moment the team members entered. He bowed his head cutely and cutely, "Welcome aboard!"
The captain's seat was also turned, a rather serious old man. Qu Lan stepped forward, gave a military salute, and said with a smile, "Colonel Wu, long time no see."
The captain also showed a bit of a smile, "Qu Lan, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are looking more and more like your father."
While chatting in the room, the researchers I met just now were led by an academician in his sixties to formally meet the team members. Tang Yi couldn't help but notice that the blue-haired eyes were shining brightly on the Krakens in their team, especially Peacock and Mercury, and an image suddenly appeared in his mind.
That kid... seems to be the little hooligan who molested Mercury in Kabukicho last time? !
how is this possible? ! How could a rogue get mixed up in a researcher's team? !
Tang Yi's eyes widened, and he tugged on Mercury's sleeves. But before he could speak, he heard the introduction of the academician Huang, "Well, this is actually my nephew, Dr. Han Qihan, who specializes in deep-sea biology research."
Tang Yi has a thousand grass and mud horses in his head. How can a rogue become a doctor these days? ! He couldn't help but let out a loud snort, so that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He quickly pretended to clear his throat and said calmly, "Sorry, my throat has been uncomfortable recently."
Feeling Tang Yi's hostile gaze, the blue hair grinned at Tang Yi.
The submarine slowly left the port, the huge head of the submarine pushed into the silky surface of the Black Sea, and the waves with white foam spread out on the sides of the huge body. Like a huge sea monster heading towards the horizon. The blue whale will travel on the sea for about two days, passing through lost cities submerged by seawater, from the Chinese Ocean into the mysterious and terrifying Pacific Ocean, and then heading south to its destination. There is no sign of rebel activity in this area, so the only danger is from the sea.
The land is gradually pushed away, and a little bit merges with the horizon. The color of the sea suddenly darkened somewhere, spreading out in all directions, reaching the end of the universe. The blue whale was originally such a huge submarine, but in this sea, it is like a small insect, dying day by day, helpless and drifting with the current. In such an eternal vastness, if there is no acoustic positioning and satellite positioning, who will know where they are
This ocean has devoured nearly half of human territory, dragging cities that have stood for thousands of years to the bottom of the sea, and gradually collapsed and collapsed in the erosion of water plants and seaweeds, forcing human beings to live in corners.
Submarines often sink into the sea for underwater compression tests. At this time, you can see the heavy urban remnants on the screens in the submarine cabin that map the external scene of the submarine. Those once majestic and glorious high-rise buildings are now covered with thick marine life, flashing past blue whales one after another in the dim light like ghosts of the past. Buried deep, with empty eyes looking up at the trolls passing by.
Tang Yi couldn't help but put his hand on the cold screen, as if he was only a glass away from the blurred city shadows in the dark. In an instant, a black shadow flashed quickly in front of him, causing him to take a step back.
"What the hell..." Tang Yi muttered, but unexpectedly, a response came from behind him.
"Just a swordfish."
When Tang Yi turned his head, it was the blue-haired fake doctor named Han Qi, with his hands in his pockets, chewing gum, and grinning at him arrogantly.
