Chu Zihang stared at the rising airflow below and reminded Caesar that this was not even a bubble.
Because in this ultra-high-pressure polar abyss, the boiling point of seawater will exceed 500 degrees.
Magma and seawater come into contact, seawater vaporizes, and then triggers a steam explosion. However, after the water vapor cools down slightly, it is reduced to a liquid by high pressure, and the bubbles do not even have time to leave the surface of the magma. However, the energy generated between them will still travel upward for a certain distance.
And this distance is the lone rope on the cliff that the Diliest is currently walking on.
The depth is 8,600 meters. They only have less than two thousand meters left to reach the small achievement of 10,000 meters under the sea.
But even though they had walked nearly four two-thousand-meter distances, they did not want to continue walking this one two-thousand-meter distance.
because.
Fu Nian and Chu Zihang stared at the picture at the bottom of the display screen. Caesar, who was controlling the Diliest, had large beads of sweat on his forehead.
Although this has an unshirkable responsibility with the rising ambient temperature, the most fundamental role is that...
The crack where the giant ax fell.
The endless cracks on the sea floor are like burning abyss,
The rock formation was split open as if by an incomparable tomahawk, leaving a scar thousands of miles long in the deepest part of the earth. Golden blood flowed out of the scar, which was the flow of hot and gathered lava.
Even in the soundproof cabin of the Diliaster, their ears were filled with explosions as dull as thunder.
The Trieste passing above it was like a firefly roasted by flames. Be cautious, and you have to be cautious.
In order to accurately control its body, the DiTrieste had to turn on a weak power source and relied on lithium batteries to drive the propellers to cruise smoothly.
But this stability is a kind of stability in an ideal environment, but the reality is,
The lava was actively churning underneath like an irritable child, and from time to time it would stare at them and spit out a mouthful of thick, phlegm-like acidic water.
Don't say that Caesar was relaxed in this situation. He was like Alexander. As long as he was a little negligent, the little wings of the Deliaste might not be able to withstand the erosion of high-temperature lava and become instantly dissolved and damaged.
At that time,
They may lose the ability to control their lives in an instant, and may be able to rely on Fu Nian's dust-free land to withstand the erosion of lava for a short period of time. The explosion of Chu Zihang's monarch flame gives them a one-in-10,000 chance of escaping from the sea of fire.
However, now they are at a depth of eight kilometers under the sea. In this environment, the human body is as fragile as paper and can be broken by the wind.
Caesar drove the Kamaita to the extreme, and his ear antennas were shaking 360 degrees around. He could clearly feel two extremely fast heartbeats in the cabin.
That was a natural reaction of the human body under high stress. He was very pleased that he had brought teammates with brains. If he had brought a brainless idiot with an open mouth to yell here, he would
I estimate that my pressure will increase at least ten times.
Thinking of Caesar, he unconsciously glanced at the two people lying in front of the screen, looking at Fu Nian and Chu Zihang...wait!!
Why two people!!
What I clearly heard was two extremely fast beating heartbeats, one from myself, one from Chu Zihang, Fu Nian...
"Caesar, pay attention." Fu Nian's voice came suddenly from the front, turning his head.
Caesar's golden golden eyes stared at the deep pupils of the other party. For a moment, he actually saw an abyss in the other party's eyes, a bottomless abyss.
"The external water temperature is 224 degrees." Chu Zihang stared ahead and said, "Although the Diliaster has a heat insulation layer, we may not be able to bear it if it continues to be close to the magma surface."
"I can't bear it anymore." Caesar avoided Fu Nian's gaze and focused his attention on Chu Zihang next to him.
"Chu Zihang, please help me take off my underwear."
Chu Zihang: "..."
To be honest, the scene in the cockpit is indeed a little chaotic now. Caesar is almost naked, everyone is sweating profusely, and their buttocks seem to have been burned and stuck to the seats.
This was a mistake, because very few people reached the bottom of the abyss, and the equipment department had no information to check. They mistakenly believed that the bottom of the abyss was a low-temperature environment, so the combat uniforms also had a thermal insulation function. If you continued to wear the combat uniforms at this time, you would definitely suffer from heat stroke.
But Chu Zihang still wore his belt with a long knife stuck in his waist. Caesar shook his chest muscles and let the sweat gather into small strands and flow down from the gaps between the muscles.
Fu Nian stood there indifferently and opened his chest, but did not expose his upper body.
There are many reasons why he did not expose himself, but the most direct ones are three considerations.
First, he really doesn't need it. As the controller of the throne, a temperature of more than 200 is really nothing. Even if he is not the controller of the Bronze and Fire Thrones, just relying on the fact that the dragon clan can withstand high temperatures, he will not
I think there is something wrong.
Secondly, he was afraid that Caesar would feel inferior after being exposed. Chu Zihang himself didn't care. He and the other party were in the same dormitory, and he knew how big he was in certain aspects.
Third, he is lazy.
Chu Zihang didn't take any action. First of all, as an opponent, he helped Caesar strip down to his underwear, which was already the limit.
Secondly... Chu Zihang looked in a certain direction in shock.
At the same time, Caesar also followed Chu Zihang's eyes and looked in a certain direction. There, Caesar's expression was so rich that it was hard to describe, frightened, confused, shocked, and terrified. He seemed to have seen a ghost, but also like
It is to see God descending before his eyes.
Fu Nian also slowly looked over there, folded his hands slowly across his chest, raised his chin unconsciously, and watched condescendingly as the miracle unfolded in front of God.
He had already seen the existence of that place because... it was too obvious.
A tower appeared in Caesar's eyes!
A tower so majestic that it’s hard to describe in words!
It stands on a gentle slope next to the crack in the ground. The tide of magma rises and falls not far from it. The dark tower body is reflected by the golden ocean, and the tower body seems to be plated with a layer of gold.
No one spoke in the cabin, all words spoken at this moment were so feeble, and the cockpit was filled with only shock, ecstasy and boredom.
It seems to have been standing there for millions of years, as majestic as a god and as lonely as a god. Everyone who sees it wants to kneel down and worship.
"That thing cannot be human," said Caesar hoarsely.
"It's impossible," Chu Zihang said, "It's impossible for humans to build such a huge city under 8,500 meters of deep sea."
"Then it is... the city of dragons?" Caesar's voice was trembling.
As the Dieste moved forward, following the Black Tower, a majestic city emerged at the end of the field of vision.
Exhibiting the glory of the past with the attitude of the Kingdom of God.
Crossing an undersea ridge, the ancient city below spreads out like a picture scroll.
It is centered on a high tower, adjacent to the long river of magma, and has experienced immortality for tens of millions of years. The Trieste swims above this ancient city, like a fish swimming through a sunken ship on the seabed.
It is unclear whether it is due to crustal movement or volcanic eruption. Half of the ancient city has slipped into the magma river.
Only the collapsed ruins remain in the other half, but the huge tower in the center still stands stubbornly, like a sword stuck on the top of the mountain, like a king standing on a throne, symbolizing the city's past glory.
Even from the collapsed ruins, one can still see its original majesty, with continuous buildings and bulging gabled roofs covered with iron-black tiles. Cirrus clouds and dragon beasts are engraved on the tiles, and metal chains hundreds of meters long are hung on the buildings.
At the four corners of the object, black wind chimes were hung on chains,
These chains undulated in the ocean currents, and thousands of black wind chimes swayed, playing silent music.
From the diving team to the young students on the Xumizuo, to Schneider and Manstein at the academy headquarters connected by cables. Everyone was overwhelmed by the ancient elegance and majesty of this city.
I have never seen such a magnificent architectural style in all the civilization relics in the world, but those ancient civilizations that have been destroyed, such as the ancient Roman Coliseum, and even Atlantis, which was described through scales and half claws, have inherited this architectural style.
of corners.
When the world turned a new page, they re-excavated it from the ruins of history. Tens of thousands of years passed on it, but only time was taken away. Its architectural aesthetics are still advanced today.
Brand new. The depths contain mysterious realms that humans have never set foot on.
Chu Zihang made sketches on paper. He wanted to draw a map of the city.
As he moved, he could vaguely see the layout of the city back then. Vertical and horizontal avenues divided the city into different districts. In the center of the ruins was a circular square like the Colosseum. Starting from it, four imperial roads led to the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Caesar piloted the Trieste and looked down over the ancient city, trying to find a good angle and use a robotic arm to take some samples from the buildings."
The two of them were busy with their own things. Caesar drove the Diliest back and forth, and Chu Zihang quickly made his own sketches.
Both of them were so shocked by this magnificent scene that they could only record. No one noticed Fu Nian, who was silently watching the scene in front of them.
Fu Nian's silence was not inspired by the majestic city in front of him, but rather by the sadness hidden in ancient memories, inspired by the long-lasting sadness.
It is a kind of boring silence, a kind of silence where everyone is drunk and I am alone when I look at the people next to me and want to jump like crazy.
If we were to be more specific, Fu Nian's silence also showed a kind of hesitation, hesitating whether to spoil the excitement of the two of them.
Because... this is not a dragon city at all.
Although from a general perspective, many things in this city were built in the city of Zhaolong, in terms of details, there are too many differences between them.
And...Fu Nian looked in a certain direction.
Moreover, the city seems to have started to move...
"I can understand the city's magnanimity, but why did the Dragon Clan build such a high tower?" Caesar looked up at the huge tower that reached to the sky and the earth, and was in a trance.
Fu Nian glanced at Caesar and said, "The Dragon Clan is used to recording wars on pillar-shaped objects that stand in the open air. They record glory when they win and record hatred when they lose.
Another purpose of the tower is execution. They are used to nailing sinners to the tower to dry. It takes hundreds of years to dry a dragon. During these hundreds of years, the criminal dragon is endlessly humiliated by all the tribesmen."
Caesar nodded in understanding.
The Diliest was already very close to the tower, and they could clearly see the huge tower building in front of them at close range.
"It's actually a metal tower. It's been soaked in seawater with extremely high salt content, and there's no rust at all. It's incredible." Caesar looked closely at it with his eyes.
"For such a tall tower, the tower body is actually formed in one piece without any seams. It cannot be done with today's human technology. This may not only be the ancient city of the Dragon Clan, but it may even be a royal city." Chu Zihang boldly guessed.
"Perhaps this is the hometown of the embryo, and it returns here to hatch again." Caesar speculated.
"Call Xumizuo, call Xumizuo." With that, Caesar connected to Yuan Zhisheng's channel,
Caesar: "Did you see it? Did you see it?"
"We saw it, we saw it." Yuan Zhisheng's voice also had a hint of trembling.
Fu Nian curled his lips.
"The Norma system and the Kaguya system are saving the videos and pictures you sent back. They are working hard to analyze the origin of this city.
What you have to do now is to control the camera to point in different directions. Every second of the video you take is priceless. This is the first time we have directly observed the ancient city of the Dragon Clan.
This is first-hand information for us to study the history and culture of the dragon tribe. Professor Schneider is writing an email to report this discovery to the principal and school board. Please hurry up and take pictures.
Please also hurry up and search for embryos during this period."
Caesar nodded, but looked around questioningly, "The embryo should be in this ruins, but where should we find it in such a big city?"
"The Diliest has a sonar system, you can use it..."
"No need." Yuan Zhisheng's voice was interrupted by Fu Nian.
Then, Fu Nian pointed with one hand,
"It goes there."
Chu Zihang and Caesar looked in a certain direction at the same time.
Where Fu Nian's finger pointed, there was a leaning building.
It is very similar to the torii gate in front of a Japanese shrine, but the torii gate is usually built with vermilion wooden pillars, and two pillars are used to support the beams and beams. Visitors to the shrine have to walk under the torii gate. In the eyes of the priests,
Come on, the torii gate is actually a symbol of the barrier. Once you walk through the torii gate, you enter the world of gods.
But the surface of the building glowed with an iron-black green light, and it looked like it was made of metal like the tower, and the torii gates are generally relatively small things, even Japan's largest torii gate in Wakayama, "Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine"
The torii gate is only 33.9 meters long.
But the torii gate that now appears in front of Fu Nian and the others is fifty meters high.
Underneath it, probably when the submarine volcano erupted, high-temperature magma invaded here. The road under the building was filled with black volcanic rock, and the building itself was half melted. The molten iron flowed down and condensed into rugged iron teeth.
Chu Zihang adjusted the focus of the telescope, and the ancient patterns on the surface of the building appeared. They were realistic carvings. This kind of detailed information is undoubtedly extremely precious research information. Caesar quickly turned the camera to take pictures.
In a few seconds, the photo was transmitted to the central control room of the headquarters and displayed on the big screen.
As professors at Kassel College, Schneider and Manstein had come into contact with many dragon antiquities, but they still felt their lack of knowledge about dragons in front of such exquisite and ancient carvings and paintings.
Paintings, sculptures and texts are the most valuable antiquities, and they are often the most distinctive bearers of a civilization.
Two people in the central command room are quickly recording this precious information.
But the next second, Manstein, who was sitting next to Schneider, changed his face drastically. "A door... a torii is a kind of door! Hell, they really saw the door underwater!"
Schneider's eyes suddenly shrank while he was carefully looking at the sculptures and paintings, and a huge fear exploded in Schneider's heart like an atomic bomb.
Yes, the Torii is actually a gate, but like the Arc de Triomphe, it is a symbolic gate and is not connected to the wall, but it is indeed a gate because it distinguishes between inside and outside.
"Don't get closer, don't get closer! Return! Return!" Schneider yelled uncontrollably. The mental imprint from eleven years ago was too deep, and he couldn't control himself at this moment.
But no one answered,
The communication channel was eerily silent, Minamoto didn't speak, the Dirieste made no movement, and even the Japanese branch's Kagetsuki system didn't respond.
"Professor, the Kaguzuki system and I disconnected all connections five seconds ago. All contact with the Japanese branch and the Dirieste was interrupted. I am trying to repair it, but the Kaguya system is not responding."
Ma's voice echoed in the central control room,
Schneider stared in astonishment at the screen as the Diliaster slowly extinguished in the waters of Japan.
…
…
"Have you seen the paintings above? Why do they look like a kind of writing?" Caesar curiously looked at the picture magnified in front of him, curiosity revealed in his eyes.
Chu Zihang nodded, "It looks like Japanese ghosts and gods. It's incredible and strange. We have clearly arrived at an ancient dragon city, but these carvings do have a strong Japanese style, and the architectural features also have a Japanese feel."
As he spoke, Chu Zihang turned his gaze to Fu Nian, who had been hiding behind him, "Fu Nian, what do you think?"
Fu Nian's eyes froze, and he turned his attention away from a certain direction in the distance and looked at the torii gate they were observing.
"It is indeed a kind of writing, but it is not dragon writing."
Caesar looked up and said, "Ask Norma. Norma can analyze it and compare it with the library. Norma can call all the library data in the world and see what kind of text it is close to. Then we can know the origin of this ancient city.
Do the ruins have anything to do with Japan anymore?”
"No need." Fu Nian shook his head.
"Ang?" Caesar raised his head in surprise, and Chu Zihang also looked at Fu Nian in surprise.
The next second, the surprised pupils in the two people's eyes began to shrink violently, staring at Fu Nian's squirming lips like needles and trembling violently.
"There are only three words written on those patterns." Fu Nian glanced at the writing on it casually.
