You didn't follow the routine at all, did you?

Chapter 391 Sea water is poisonous (please subscribe~)

The sudden alarm brought an abrupt end to the laughter of Lao Tou and others.

As a veteran player, I have been severely beaten by Kα alloy. I know how strong this material is. It is not easy to break through the defense, let alone let Kα alloy disintegrate. How much force does this require?

"Meet the BOSS again?"

"Let's go and have a look!"

Everyone immediately put away their playful and smiling faces and quickly rushed to the flight deck.

Gu Chi also asked Xia Ling to suspend the route and activate the alert mode.

But they didn't see the so-called BOSS.

Most of the players on the ship stayed to mine the ore veins at a depth of one thousand meters. There were not many people left, but there were about 3,000. If a new BOSS-level deep-sea creature was discovered, they would not need to be reminded by the safety system on the ship. They would do it themselves. "Alert".

The truth is, there is nothing around the ship.

Except for some less aggressive sea fish swimming around, there is only the sea water as calm as night.

The players who had been staying on the deck were also confused and didn't know what was happening.

Everything was fine a second ago, nothing was out of the ordinary. They were still discussing leisurely topics such as the Tiandi's fast dive speed and the healing scenery of the deep sea. But a second later, the alarm suddenly sounded.

The ship's hull didn't sway significantly, so it shouldn't have been attacked?

"What's our current depth?" Gu Chi asked.

Yuyouzi immediately contacted the cockpit and got an accurate number: "4998 meters."

The Emperor of Heaven has gone down nearly four thousand meters.

Ye Maohan frowned: "It's a bit abnormal to be so deep and not encounter any strange things."

They had previously speculated that sharks, a species that should live in the deep sea, went to settle in shallow seas, and there was a high probability that they were overtaken by something more terrifying.

The same goes for Dunkleosteus. With their fine and tough muscle tissue, they have the conditions to survive in deeper seabeds and resist strong water pressure, but they only move in areas with a depth of 1,000-2,000 meters.

All signs indicate that there is a big guy at the front of the ocean's food chain deeper under the sea, compressing the living space of other species.

But strangely, they found nothing.

"It's also possible that this place is actually not suitable for them to survive." Avelia noticed that the appearance of those sea fish was colorful and tended to be transparent, which was completely different from the fish at a depth of one thousand meters. "Their surface tissues have already It shows a certain degree of membrane formation, which is one of the evolutionary directions of stress resistance.”

Most of the creatures living in the deep sea have a common feature. Their bones and skin will become thin and soft, so that they can adapt to the high-pressure environment on the seabed and maintain a balance between the pressure inside and outside their bodies to the greatest extent.

Gu Chi realized that Avreya knew a lot, and looked at her in surprise, then asked Youyouzi: "What is the water pressure we are currently experiencing?"

"106 MPa." Youyouzi said.

Old Li Tou: "?"

"So big?"

"That's probably where the problem lies." Avreya said. Looking at the water channel outside the barrier.

106 MPa is approximately equal to one thousand standard atmospheres. Under normal circumstances, water pressure of this strength can only be reached at a depth of 10,000 meters on the seabed. It is equivalent to a person having two thousand adult elephants stepping on his back at the same time, which can instantly crush a person. Squeeze into patties.

The water pressure at a depth of 5,000 meters is already so strong now, which means that the density of seawater at this depth may be greater than they thought. In other words, the seawater surrounding them at this moment is no longer ordinary seawater.

Strength 39 doesn’t understand this aspect very well: “Logically speaking, even if it is 106 MPa, the ship should be able to withstand it?”

You know, even without relying on small boats, humans can use their own technology to detect the sea at about 12,000 meters and obtain clear image data. And since ordinary technology can withstand this water pressure, there is no reason to replace it with The more advanced Kα alloy won’t work, right?

"That's different." Avreya shook her head. "The internal structure of a deep-sea submersible is completely different from that of ordinary ships. The most obvious thing is the space and shape."

One is the pressure difference inside and outside the hull, and the other is the uniformity of the force on the hull.

Just like a solid iron ball thrown to a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea, it will only deform slightly. However, if the iron ball is made hollow and then becomes an irregular shape, it will be immediately flattened by the sea water or even fall apart. .

"Maybe it's not just as simple as water pressure." Gu Chi looked at the seawater outside the barrier and pondered.

It is true that the water pressure that far exceeds expectations should be the main reason for the damage to Kα alloy, but Kα alloy is also extremely self-healing. In theory, as long as the Kα alloy cannot be destroyed immediately, the Kα alloy will never be destroyed and it will not disintegrate. Or deformed, it will only break.

unless its activity can be inhibited.

"In this case, you go check the key parts to see if there is any damage. I will go outside and take a look." Gu Chi said.

This problem must be solved, otherwise we will not be able to reach the bottom of the sea.

He himself can naturally explore it alone through the three Taoist methods, but this is a copy for 800,000 people. No matter how confident Gu Chi is, he will not think that he can pass the level by himself. That is not confidence, but arrogance.

"Isn't there any danger?" Kα alloy couldn't withstand it, and Youyouzi was a little worried about Gu Chi's safety.

Gu Chi comforted the girl and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Even if we die, we will all die together."

Everyone: "..."

This is true.

Two thousand elephants cannot trample the Emperor of Heaven to death. Even if they are trampled to death, they will not be called the Emperor of Heaven. If anything happens to Gu Chi, it can only be because there is something terrifying hidden in the water. They did not find it, and Gu Chi has not found it. No matter what, they went up there to deliver food, so no one could escape alive.

Xia Leng and Xia Ling didn't care much.

It's a game anyway. If Gu Chi really sends it, it's not a big problem if he just pays for it to accompany Huang Si.

So, after a brief discussion, everyone began to work together and perform their respective duties.

The players working on the ship could not help much. Whether it was resisting the water pressure or inspecting the hull, it was beyond their capabilities.

They can't go outside with the captain. They will turn into meat patties as soon as they go out. They don't know the professional knowledge related to the ship, and they can't check it. They can only stare anxiously.

The main reason is that the alarm keeps sounding, which makes people feel very unsure.

Gu Chi deliberately did not turn off the alarm and did not let the Tiandi float.

If he continues to dive, he will face the risk of disintegration. If he doesn't dive, he will not disintegrate for the time being. He will be stuck at this critical point to better observe the situation.

At this time, Gu Chi felt for the first time that sometimes things that were too big were not a good thing.

Very inconvenient.

He came outside the ship with the emperor's divine glory, and it took him almost three hours to inspect the entire appearance of the Tiandi.

He circled around the huge hull like a fish.

Although he could move freely in the sea with the help of his word spirit, the wet feeling in the water still made him choose to swim out of habit.

Avelia paid attention to the movements outside, but she didn't expect that Gu Chi was quite flexible. If he was given a fish tail, he would be considered a rare mermaid...

It's a good thing she didn't know her metaphor, otherwise she would have to turn into a mermaid next time.

Gu Chi is very good at implementing other people's thoughts on him, and he has always done this.

It's just that he doesn't have time to think about this right now.

Gu Chi checked very carefully.

After all, it is his own ship. If he is not responsible, who will be?

First of all, it was certain that there was no invisible BOSS in the nearby seawater. They were not attacked. The Tiandi sounded the alarm simply because it could not withstand the pressure of the seawater.

The curved fenders on the bottom and rear of the hull have developed some ruggedness.

Secondly, Avelia was right.

This sea water is no ordinary sea water.

It seems to have antimatter properties similar to "insecticide". If you look closely, the surface of the concave and convex areas changes from dark silver to black. Since there is almost no light at the bottom of the sea, you can't tell it unless you look carefully. Gu Chi has noticed it. It was only after another strange thing that I noticed its color change——

Extremely tiny bubbles are constantly popping out from those bumps.

Gu Chi knew at a glance that the Kα alloy was repairing itself, but the seawater containing unknown substances inhibited part of its activity, causing the repair efficiency to be greatly reduced. It was already so low that it was visible to the naked eye, and it could not keep up with the water pressure. Comes with damage speed.

Gu Chi was also a very brave man. He gave himself several BUFFs and actually reached out of the Emperor's Divine Glory. This made Avreya's heart skip a beat. Is this guy really not afraid of death?

From the fingertips to the palm, this hand quickly turned dark, as if wearing a coal-colored leather black glove.

It feels like countless needles are piercing the skin at the same time. There is a heart-piercing tingling sensation, and then it becomes numb and loses consciousness.

Even the arms within the Emperor's Divine Glory showed signs of "blackening", and his head felt a little dizzy.

"It's actually poisonous."

Gu Chi complained, quickly took his hand back and used his spirit to recover.

General antimatter does not do much harm to the human body. It is aimed at Kα alloy. The word "antimatter" itself was specially created for this purpose. However, this seawater has a greater range of damage than "insecticide" and is more harmful to Kα alloy. The effect is not as good as pure antimatter, but it can also cause damage to other matter.

This is no longer simply "poison".

The broad definition of "poison" refers to substances that are harmful to living organisms, but these seawaters are poisonous.

As long as it is a foreign object, it will be eroded.

The so-called "foreign objects" are because those sea fish are fine.

Maybe the sea water was stirred up like this by them.

The depth of five thousand meters and the depth of 1000-2000 are two different areas. There are probably some rare resources here, but the difficulty of mining them is not that great. With their existing technology, they may not be able to handle them.

Gu Chi thought for a moment and returned to the Emperor of Heaven.

"How about it?"

Lao Li and others asked: "There is no problem on the ship, everything is running normally, but what about outside?"

"It's a bit difficult," Gu Chi said, "The ship needs to be upgraded."

If you still want to use the Tiandi to continue diving, there are only two solutions.

One is to improve the self-healing property of Kα-III alloy, and the other is to improve the physical strength of Kα-III alloy.

To put it simply, it must either be hard enough to resist water pressure without causing damage, or make its self-healing efficiency higher, so high that it can be on par with the ongoing water pressure without interruption.

Xia Leng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "I remember that Grayman's new doomsday humanoid is made of materials stronger than Kα-III?"

"Yes." Gu Chi nodded.

That's why he said it was a little difficult.

Even if he wants to make a perfect fourth- and fifth-generation Kα alloy, he still needs to know the upgraded production method and formula. Otherwise, who knows whether it will become a surface alloy with Kα-Ⅴ on the outside and Kα-Ⅲ on the inside. come out?

If something goes wrong, thousands of people on their ship will have to answer here.

That is the real "Buried in the Deep".

The production method is necessary, but the difficulty is why Grayman should tell them?

If it were a normal person, they might be able to use threats, but Grayman is not afraid of death at all, and they can't kill Grayman completely. If they want to pry out the information that he doesn't want to disclose from such a person, it will be more difficult than to fight again. Each SS book is difficult.

Xia Ling's heart moved slightly: "Do you think this will be part of the strategy to conquer this dungeon?"

Old Li rubbed his beard and said, "It's possible."

Xia Leng pursed her lips and looked at Gu Chi: "You are so good at talking, you can't even handle a Grayman?"

Gu Chi: "?"

Can that be the same?

No one is born with eloquence, they are all trained. In the past, his training targets in the dream were all girls. When they were playing Galgame, who had nothing to do to conquer the big men?

Not to mention that everyone who knows Grayman calls him a lunatic.

He really may not be sure of the madman's brain circuitry.

"Oh, Father, just give it a try." Xia Ling held Gu Chi's arm and shook it, blinking her eyes coquettishly, "Anyway, we can't think of a better way at the moment. What if it succeeds?"

If this is really a part of "Buried in the Deep", there will definitely be a huge wave of ratings if the problem is solved.

Gu Chi: "..."

It seems true.

In fact, without Grayman, Gu Chi could have dismantled all the 50,000 Doomsday Dolls and pieced them together into a small deep-sea submarine that could hold a lot of people.

But he couldn't bear it.

Gu Chi didn't like to do this kind of thing of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall. As an adult, if he could, he would of course choose to do it all.

Then give it a try.

Say no more.

Calculating the time, it was time for him to accompany Huang Si.

"Youyou, notify the cockpit and ask them to float the boat five hundred meters." Gu Chi said to Youyouzi, "Before you find a solution, you should search in a shallower place during this period to see if there is anything good. , if you encounter danger, fire when it’s time to fire.”

"Okay, Mr. Prophet, you can go without worry and leave this place to us." Youyouzi looked solemn as if he had been ordered to do something in danger, which made Gu Chi feel inexplicably funny and wanted to pinch the girl's face.

But I just thought about it and didn’t take action.

Otherwise Xia Leng should pinch him.

After a brief arrangement, Gu Chi quit the game and returned to reality.

He did not choose the more cost-effective suicide.

Committing suicide would cost him half the old coins than quitting directly, but he didn't want to experience the feeling of sudden death again and again.

As soon as he got home, Gu Chi saw Huang Si watering the flowers and plants in the garden outside the living room.

In the past few months when they were away from home, Huang Xiu had been taking care of this.

Huang Xiu herself likes to be quiet and can tolerate being ordinary. She wears a thin red dress that complements her good figure and appearance, and her movements are quiet and quiet. She feels like she is living outside the mountains and does not care about the world.

Gu Chi was about to sneak over and give Huang Si a surprise.

But the general saw that his status became online, so he called him first and gave him a surprise.

"problem occurs."

The general's voice was low and he didn't say a single unnecessary word.

"Grayman and the West Second District are at war."

Gu Chi: "?"

War?

Which one starts the war?

…
