The ancient Yunmeng Lake may be very deep, but the modern Dongting Lake is definitely not deep.
West Dongting Lake has an area of 345 square kilometers and a depth of 35-36 meters; South Dongting Lake has an area of 917 square kilometers and a depth of 34-35 meters; East Dongting Lake has an area of 1478 square kilometers and a depth of 33-34 meters.
The entire Dongting water system, including many tributaries, has an average water depth of only 6-7 meters. Even though the torrential rain continues and the water level rises, it has not reached the point where it is unfathomable and unreachable.
The problem is that the water area is too wide, and it is simply unrealistic to rely on fourteen people to search for a nest of young Jiaos hiding at the bottom of the lake.
Time is running out now, and every minute of delay will result in the loss of several square meters of land. So after receiving the request, Tanzhou immediately dispatched manpower to shuttle in the rain one after another, from no rain area to less rain area, and then to the heavy rain area to change trucks and jeeps, rushing to the front line against time.
"boom!"
"Wow, boom!"
In Yuanjiang City, the river flooded the urban area, and the city has become history. The technicians went to the periphery, lowered the boat, and took out detection equipment one after another.
In the past, the detection was done on a relatively still water surface. Unlike now, the water swelled while it was raining, which added a lot of difficulties virtually.
"Report from each group!"
"Arrive at the designated location!"
"Ready!"
"put!"
"Chick! Chick!"
More than a dozen torpedo-shaped detectors swished into the bottom of the water and swished to the distance.
There is no technical difficulty, and it is OK to use traditional sonar. The acoustic signal is transmitted in the water, and when it encounters targets such as submarines, mines, and fish and turns back, the distance can be determined according to the round-trip time, and the nature can be judged according to the tone of the sound.
In the command vehicle right by the water, several people were wearing earphones, watching the display screen, and monitoring the situation at all times.
"not found!"
"Not here either!"
"There is a situation here!"
"Empty... Buzzing..."
The person identified it carefully, and the echo was low and chaotic, which was the reaction to encountering a school of fish. But they dare not be careless, what if it is Jiao.
"Coordinates southeast, about five kilometers away."
"Go and have a look!"
After the order was given, the boat drove over immediately, dropped the visual detector, and then saw that it was really a fish! In an instant, everyone was happy and disappointed, and their moods were ups and downs.
"not found!"
"not found!"
When the first round of inspection was over, the person in charge of the area ordered: "Stay here, and inspect once every hour. Those long insects are running around, pay attention to safety!"
"yes!"
It was raining heavily, and you had to shout at close range. The person in charge wore a raincoat, got in the car and left, and went to the other team to inspect.
In this way, tens of thousands of people, nearly a hundred teams spread out in an all-round way, guarding every small tributary. It has been two days since it started to rain, and within a short period of time, the water in the lake has skyrocketed to an unimaginable level.
Everyone felt like a huge boulder was pressing on their hearts, and they were so heavy that they couldn't breathe.
…
In front of Yueyang Tower.
The water area here is the most important thing. Several large ships are parked on the lake, and more than 20 small boats are scattered. The lake has a vast surface and a large water storage capacity. The waves are churning in the distance, and the bottom of the water is relatively peaceful.
The staff put down the visual detector directly and searched by area. The instrument descended slowly, then moved forward slowly, and the display screen reflected a black and white image, aquatic plants, shrimps and crabs, and countless schools of fish swimming by.
When advancing to a certain area, a person suddenly shouted: "Left! Left! There are black shadows there!"
The camera immediately turned around and moved closer to the left. Sure enough, the black shadow extended from the edge to the middle, gradually revealing a hill-like outline, which was vaguely coiled at the bottom of the lake.
Before he could continue to approach, he heard the sound of sizzling, the screen went dark, and the signal was interrupted.
"The instrument has been destroyed! Jiao, it must be Jiao!"
"Notify them quickly... ah!"
The shouting stopped suddenly, and the boat was dragged into the bottom of the lake without any resistance, without even a bubble coming out, and was covered by heavy rain again.
"No. 3 lost contact, there is a situation over there!"
"Coordinate orientation! Coordinate orientation!"
The main ship boiled instantly.
"Wow, boom!"
The rain is like a curtain, and Jiang Tian is desolate.
The people in the building have dispersed, Lu Yuanqing led a team, led by Shi Yunlai and Zhang Wumeng; Bai Yunsheng led a team, led by Zhong Lingyu and Si Kongchan; Zhang Shouyang led a team, led by Chao Kongtu and Mo Haofeng , and another innate.
In addition, Long Qiu and Xiao Jin were on the same team, and Xiao Zhai was on the other side, a total of five teams, and each group went to the tributary. Gu Yu was also on his own team, guarding Yueyang Tower.
"There are also many kinds of jiao. Unlike dragons, dragons are the essence of heaven and earth, born in response. Jiaos have to go through reproduction and evolution. How should I put it... Oh, it's like the cats and dogs you raise. Dragons are purebreds. Jiao is a hybrid."
"Senior, you integrated into the society very quickly. I guess after a while, you will be able to tell me a cold joke."
Gu Yu leaned on the railing and was chatting with Wu Shan.
"Whether snakes and pheasants lay eggs or dragons and dragons mate, they are all different species. There are snakes with a body like a snake and a voice like a cow. They are several feet short and tens of feet long. They are called snake dragons.
There is also a slender snake-tail with beaded skin, like a lizard but with a big body, with armored skin that can be used as a drum. This is the lizard dragon.
There is also a thin neck with four legs, and there is a white baby on the neck, and the larger one is several times in circumference. This is a cloud dragon.
Another one has a head like a tiger, a dragon with four legs, and a sound like a roar of a tiger. This is called a tiger dragon..."
Wu Shan has been bored for five hundred years, and it is rare to encounter a big event. He looks contemptuous on the surface, but he is quite happy in his heart. He was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Whoosh!
As soon as the words fell, the golden light flew out of the cold building, drew a trace on the vast lake, and plunged into the bottom of the water—exactly where the accident happened to the boat.
He regained his human form, and seeing the wreckage of the ship scattered around him, and there was a strong smell of blood, his expression sank. Immediately, his figure flickered, and suddenly disappeared in place, fleeing ten feet away.
boom!
Like a strong explosive exploding in the water, but unable to penetrate it, a mass of energy mixed with turbid waves exploded on the spot, stirring the four directions, and the turbulent current swirled, forming a big vortex.
"How dare!"
Gu Yu was a little surprised, turned around suddenly, and in front of him was a young dragon about seven or eight feet long.
It looks like a snake, with blue patterns on its back, ochre-colored chest, hard spines on the tip of its tail, and a protruding sarcoma between the eyes and upper eyebrow, like a unicorn that is about to be born—it is Wu Shan Said snake dragon.
It stared at each other with its two lantern-like eyes. It was not like other creatures, who were instantly cowardly when encountering humans and immortals. Instead, it revealed a desire to devour and a fighting spirit.
"gurgling... gurgling..."
One person and one dragon confronted each other for a while, when the flow rate of the lake beside him suddenly changed, his heart moved and flashed again.
boom!
Now I could see clearly that the dragon's body didn't move, but the long tail didn't know how to manipulate it, it was drawn like a whip, and a vortex exploded every minute.
