The legend of Tiga

The Sailfish submarine was moving forward "slowly". Although its maximum speed was 80 knots, which was much faster than the warships of the Defense Force era, it was only 148 kilometers per hour when converted into the speed commonly used in life. A slightly better car could easily reach this speed on a straight highway.

This is why, in emergency situations, submarines are always airlifted to designated sea areas and then dropped into them. This is because if the submarine is allowed to swim there on its own, it would be too late.

As for installing the Max power system on the submarine to increase the submarine's diving speed.

Someone actually suggested this and tried it.

The result.
From the fact that both the Super Victory Team's Victory Submarine and other submarines still use high-purity energy engines, it can be seen that the failure of that attempt can be said to be very complete.

The reason is simple, water pressure!

The terrifying water pressure in the deep sea is unimaginable for ordinary people.

How terrifying is the water pressure at 10,000 meters under the sea? Calculated at 1 megapascal per 100 meters, that is a full 100 megapascals of pressure, which is like a one-ton weight pressing on one square centimeter. If it were a human, it would be like having to bear the weight of 2,000 elephants at the same time.

The Sea Dragon Palace is located in the 6,000-meter deep sea, where every square meter has to bear a pressure of 6,000 tons. The total area of ​​the Sea Dragon Palace is 10,000 square meters, which is equivalent to bearing a weight of 60 million tons.

how to say.

The weight of Tiga is 44,000 tons, which is equivalent to 1,300 to 1,400 Tigas stacked together and pressing on the Sea Dragon Palace.

From this we can understand why TPC has headed into space and built dozens of interstellar bases and space stations, but only has two underwater bases.

Because building a base in space is much easier than building one on the seabed, and building a base underground is even simpler than both of them.

Even marine life would find it difficult to survive under such tremendous sea pressure. After descending to a thousand meters below, Chiba Makoto no longer saw schools of fish.

But now, the radar has discovered a giant creature that is at least a kilometer long.

this.
It's incredible.

Even if it is a monster, this size is too big.

This is not to say that it cannot grow this big. After all, Chiba Makoto has seen monsters bigger than this before. But the problem is that at such a deep seabed, the larger the size, the greater the pressure it will bear.

It is extremely difficult for such a huge body to move on the seabed.

Chiba Makoto was looking outside. Although there were thick bulkheads and a pressure-resistant barrier whose every square centimeter could withstand ten thousand tons of pressure, after focusing the light on his eyes, even though the seabed was pitch black, everything was clearly visible in Chiba Makoto's eyes.

The sonar, radar, infrared and other detectors on the submarine are fully turned on, conducting all-round detection and scanning of the seabed. 3D models of mountains are gradually constructed on the screen and compared with the seabed topographic maps in the database to see if there are any deviations. If there is a problem, there must be a problem. After all, unless there is a major geological activity, the seabed topography will be the same as the mountains on land and will not change significantly.

This was the most effective way to find grounded submarines during the Defense Force era. It is even more effective for searching for monsters. After all, monsters are actually about the same size as submarines, and they are not as good at hiding as submarines, so they are much easier to find than submarines.

But Dagu drove the submarine around and around for several circles, but he couldn't find the thousand-meter-long monster that had appeared so suddenly.

"How is it possible? Where did it go?" Dagu was puzzled. He held the rudder and steered the submarine to a larger area, trying to find the missing monster.

How could we not find such a big monster, not a small fish?
It is impossible to hide. The seabed terrain is the same as in the database. With such a large size, it will be very conspicuous no matter where it lies, and will be discovered immediately. As for escaping far away, it is possible, but with such a large size, the noise it makes when swimming will definitely not be small, so it should be discovered from a long distance.

However, no matter whether it was the seabed topography scan or the sonar, no findings were made. It was truly incredible that such a huge monster could just evaporate on the seabed.

"Could it be a radar malfunction?"

Although I still have doubts, it seems that this is the only explanation left.

"Um"

Qianye Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Sea Dragon Palace first."

The Eye of Ultra also did not discover anything. The underwater mountains seen along the way were endless and more spectacular and steep than those on land.

As for why the monster disappeared, it was either due to a radar failure or it was hiding.

As for where it is hidden?

It is very easy to hide tens of thousands of monsters in these mountains and valleys.

"understand!"

Dagu then slowly turned the rudder and controlled the submarine to swim towards the Sea Dragon Palace.

The submarine, with powerful beams of light all over its body illuminating all directions, slowly turned and headed towards the distance.

As they moved farther and farther away, the light gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely, returning the seabed to the darkness and silence that had lasted for billions of years.

After a while, a red light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black darkness, as bright as blood, moving slowly in the darkness, turning left and right as if detecting something, and then it disappeared after turning back and forth.

At this time, the submarine had arrived at the Sea Dragon Palace, entered through the torpedo port marked on the drawing, closed the outer gate, and began pumping water.

That is to say, the technology is advanced, and there is a "black technology" pressure-resistant barrier that can keep the air pressure inside the boat the same as on land, so there is no need to worry about the pressure difference.

Otherwise, even if an underwater base is built, just entering and exiting the underwater base is a very troublesome thing, requiring repeated increase and decrease of pressure, and the speed cannot be fast, otherwise, decompression will come in minutes, and there may even be an implosion due to the rapid change in air pressure.

But 'TPC Technology' did not have to consider this problem. The water was quickly pumped out, and then the inner door was opened. The tracked vehicle carried the submarine into the inner hangar.

When the inner door was closed, the submarine was also placed on the parking position. Chiba Makoto and Daigu packed up, opened the door and went down. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Asuka grinning, and greeted them happily: "Captain, Vice Captain, you are finally here."

Chiba Makoto looked Fei Niao up and down. His face was flushed and he no longer needed to sling his arm. His wrist was still bandaged, though. He seemed to be in good shape.

"This place seems to suit you."

"Whee!"

Fei Niao was smiling. He had a great time. Not only did he look at the seabed every day, he also learned how to drive a submarine. Yesterday he even drove the submarine out for a trip alone and enjoyed the underwater scenery.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a blue uniform representing a senior cadre and leaning on a cane in his left hand came forward, extended his right hand enthusiastically, and said, "Hello, Captain Chiba, I'm glad you're here. On behalf of all the staff of Triton J2, I welcome you."

"Hello, Director Fujikura, I am honored to be here at Triton J2."

Chiba Makoto quickly reached out and held the right hand of Triton J2's supervisor, Director Triton J2.

Although he had a disability, he was very capable. He was the one who single-handedly pushed forward the construction of Triton J2. It was because he had a limp, ran around everywhere, and his crutches were worn down to a large length, and he convinced countless people that he was able to build Triton J2 at great expense during that chaotic period.

Standing next to him was Toshiyuki Koda. He and Fujikura were classmates and had studied for a master's degree together at TPC. Although one majored in cosmology and the other in oceanography, they became friends because of rugby and their recognition of each other's abilities made them quickly become good friends.

But rugby is both the cause of success and the cause of failure.

A rugby game is a pure physical confrontation that tests physical fitness, which is why it is a TPC school event. However, accidents are always unavoidable in physical confrontations.

Fujikura was the one who got caught in the unfortunate accident. During a competition, he injured his leg so badly that he could hardly exert any strength, which meant that he would have to use crutches for the rest of his life.

This was a bolt from the blue for Fujikura, who dreamed of driving a submarine to the bottom of the sea. After all, even in logistics, a cripple could hardly play a big role and was basically just a idler.

However, Fujikura did not despair or give up on himself. He remained optimistic and worked hard. Not only did he complete his studies, he also pursued a second degree. He worked harder than other people with healthy legs and became an expert in oceanography, gaining great recognition in this field.

It was precisely because of his own excellence that his statements were widely recognized, which led to the creation of Triton J2 and him becoming the person in charge of this important underwater base.

Along the way, Fujikura enthusiastically introduced this underwater base, especially the achievements made since its construction. He said that all the research results of mankind on the ocean in the past could not even compare to a fraction of Triton J2.

"As you know, the R Sea is the most special place in the Pacific Ocean, or even in the world's oceans. Hundreds of ocean currents converge here, just like an ocean current hub. No matter where the garbage is dumped into the ocean, it can eventually be monitored here. Therefore, a huge amount of garbage has accumulated here."

Following Fujikura's words, they arrived at the exhibition hall, which was only about a hundred meters long, but was filled with a large number of pictures, videos and exhibits.

Among them are images of garbage accumulation on the seabed and the results of its management.

After years of hard work, 95 percent of the garbage on the seabed has been cleaned up. The once densely packed sea of ​​garbage now only has a few sparse spots left.

"There will be another big drag net in the near future to clean up the garbage, and this area of ​​the sea will be completely clean."

Fujikura said with a smile that this was a great achievement of TPC's environmental management. Human beings are making up for past mistakes and working hard to restore nature.

"It's really good."

Chiba Makoto had seen this sea area with his own eyes and saw how bad it used to be.

The garbage is piled up like a mountain, and the word dirty is not enough to describe this place.

But now, there is no more garbage in the sea. The difference before and after can be said to be very huge.

As Da Gu listened and watched, a question popped up in his mind, and he quickly asked, "Director Fujikura, if the ocean currents converge, does that mean that if we release something here, it will also be carried to all parts of the world by the ocean currents?"

"That's the theory," Fujikura nodded, and said, "But there are no related experiments yet. After all, the ocean is too big. Unless the labeled reagent is released on a large scale, it will be diluted to the point where it cannot be detected at all."

"If that's the case," Dagu thought of the thousand-meter-long monster that suddenly appeared on the radar, and its location at that time was nearby.

Seeing Daiko like this, Fujikura asked, "Vice Captain Makado, have you found any problems?"

"Yeah!" Dagu nodded, recounted the situation he encountered in the future, and then expressed his own guess.

"A thousand-meter-long monster?"

Whether it was Fujikura, Koda, or Asuka, they were all shocked by the exaggerated size.

One thousand meters, that is more than three hundred floors high if erected, and about one hundred meters higher than the tallest building currently - the Burj Khalifa.

This is not just high, it is extremely high.

"It only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. The radar didn't have time to detect its specific shape. Later, I searched the area repeatedly, but found nothing. I suspected that the radar was malfunctioning." Dagu smiled bitterly. He himself was not too sure. He had not planned to say it now. Instead, he wanted to inspect the radar. But when he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but ask.

Fujikura did not just laugh it off, but frowned, thinking, and then said: "In fact, the scale of the underwater mountains is even larger than people imagine. The longest mountain range on land, the Cordillera Mountains, is about 15,000 kilometers long, but the length of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is 16,000 kilometers.

Although the Pacific Ocean's mid-ocean ridges, mid-ocean ridges, volcanic ridges and fault ridges are not as large as those of the Atlantic Ocean, they are also very magnificent. Especially in this area, there are many chain mountains and fault ridges, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers.

We have used a combination of sonar and radar to detect cavities inside 13 submarine mountains, and are preparing to conduct in-depth research in the near future.

"Could it be that these mountains are connected by tunnels? That monster appears through these tunnels?" Dagu immediately started imagining.

"This." Fujikura hesitated and said, "It still needs to be verified, but I personally think that the cavity in the mountain is very likely not isolated, and it has existed for a long time. The current speculation is that it may be a volcanic lava channel, because a dead volcano was found nearby."

"In this case, the monster must have crawled into the cave and was not discovered." Fei Niao said with sudden realization.

"But if it can accommodate such a large monster, the entrance can't be small, right?" Koda Toshiyuki expressed a different opinion, saying: "The submarine's equipment should be able to discover it."

"It stands to reason that we should be able to find the entrance to the cave, but in fact, we didn't find anything." (End of this chapter)
