Chapter 198 Expedition to the abyss, the dive begins
Outside Baihe City, a brand new floating battleship named Black Stone Collar, and New Baihe, two 300-meter-long battleships of the same level, are ready to go.
In addition, there are 80-meter-long battleships Shirakawa, Clover, Red Maple, and seven other 80-meter-class battleships that have just left the factory for a total of ten ships.
Including the Black Stone Collar and the New Shirakawa, there are a total of twelve capital ships in the fleet.
This is the entire lineup for this expedition to the abyss.
It didn't carry any armed floating ships, mainly armed floating ships without magic barriers, and its survivability in the abyss was worrying.
Without knowing the specific circumstances of the abyss, the armed floating ships will not be sent for the time being.
The person in charge of this expedition is still Fang Xu.
After fighting hard, Berry Chenge obtained authorization from her sister to accompany Fang Xu on the expedition.
Besides, even Baicha Baofeng had to stay and work with Yinyue Chenge.
So at the time of farewell, Fang Xu hugged Yinyue Chenge and Baicha Baofeng respectively for a long time.
Finally, after all the combat magic puppets of the twelve airships had boarded the ship, Fang Xu waved to the two of them, took Berry Morning Song, the head maid, and Daji Miaoji, and turned to board the flagship New White River.
"Don't make trouble for your brother-in-law." Before leaving, Yinyue Chenge told Berry Chenge.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my brother-in-law." Berry Chenge assured her, patting her chest.
It's a pity that no one believes her promises.
In this way, the floating fleet slowly lifted into the air, forming a huge queue, and marching towards the abyss in the north.
And around the entire Baihe City, there are countless ordinary transport airships floating in the direction of the air fleet, as if they are seeing them off.
Even some armed floating ships even fired salutes.
Standing on the bridge, Fang Xu looked at Baihe City, which was getting farther and farther outside, and looked at the edge of the Blackstone Mountains, which was getting closer and closer to the north, and the border of the abyss, which was already faintly visible, feeling a little complicated.
"Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" Berry Chenge quietly came to Fang Xu's side and hugged him.
I have to say that it is also beneficial to take her with you, at least it can act as a pistachio from time to time to soothe Fang Xu's emotions.
"I still remember that the last time I took this road was at this time last year. At that time, I went to explore the border of the abyss with your sister. I didn't expect to go on an expedition to the abyss this year. I always feel a little emotional. Time flies so fast." Fang Xu smiled. said with a smile.
"It's been a year in the blink of an eye, but it's only been a year? I thought it's been a long time." Berry Chenge said while hugging Fang Xu, blinking her eyes.
"A year is really not long, but because too many things have happened, it feels like a long time!" Fang Xu said after thinking about it.
"Ah, it seems to be here, the boundary of the abyss." Berry Chenge said, pointing to the distance.
"Yeah, last time I walked on the ground, it took me a day to arrive. This time I was flying in the sky, and the speed was much faster." Fang Xu nodded.
But Berry Chenge had already taken out her mobile phone, facing the pitch-black void stretching out endlessly from left to right in the distance, Pi arranged a small video.
Then I edited it at will and sent it out.
Many people on the Internet want to see what the abyss looks like. Although they have heard descriptions or seen some pictures of Tuyang, there is really no clear video.
Berry Morning Song is another precedent.
Coupled with the title "The first day of the expedition to the abyss!", a large number of onlookers soon came in to watch.
Everyone is discussing what the abyss is.
There are also doubts about whether there will be a signal after entering the abyss.
"If you enter the abyss, there will be no signal, right?"
"Can you still post videos by then?"
"Surely not, don't die in the abyss."
"The crow's mouth upstairs should not say a few words."
On the bridge, Fang Xu was also chatting with Berry Chenge about the signal.
"Brother-in-law, can the signal relay be successful?" Berry Chenge asked.
"I don't know, but we can only try. We can leave more relay points to ensure that there are backup options in case something happens." Fang Xu explained his plan.
In this way, the floating fleet composed of twelve battleships soon reached the sky above the abyss.
Below are two worlds split in two.
Half of it is normal land, and generally it is a bottomless and dark abyss.
The ever-shrouding black mist made the abyss seem to extend endlessly downwards.
But whether there is a land or not, no one has ever known, because no one has ever entered it.
Even the abyss cultists have never really descended to the bottom of the abyss.
The floating fleet stayed here for a while, and began to release various signal relay points.
There are both airships and some special floating balls.
The huge floating ball has no function, it can only float in mid-air for signal relay.
Such relay points will be deployed continuously during the abyss dive, and each deployment will not only deploy one to ensure sufficient redundancy.
"The unmanned relay airship has been released."
"The unmanned relay floating ball has been released."
"The departments are in place."
The report sounded continuously.
"Start diving into the abyss." Fang Xu ordered.
"Command received, start diving."
In an instant, the twelve battleships slowly began to dive into the abyss.
Fang Xu stood by the porthole on the bridge, watching the window gradually being shrouded in thicker and thicker black fog.
The New Shirakawa has entered the range of the black mist of the abyss.
Berry Chenge stood beside Fang Xu, and unconsciously clenched Fang Xu's arm tightly.
The twelve battleships in the surrounding area were gradually covered in the black mist, and they could only see the flashing lights on each other's ships.
Because the distance between each other is not enough for the black fog to block each other's sight, the twelve battleships can still see each other.
It can be regarded as adding courage to each other.
They are not alone after all.
"Start lowering the exploration airship!"
"The airship has been lowered, the depth is 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters! No abnormalities."
"The fleet dives 1000 meters, and the exploration airship continues to be lowered."
Twelve capital ships, each of which has more than one unmanned floating airship, is pulled by the guide rope and flies towards the floating fleet.
After flying out to a certain distance, no abnormalities were found, and the floating fleet above continued to dive.
This is also the most reliable way to find the way that the fleet can come up with without any information about the abyss.
After all, it is unacceptable to directly let twelve capital ships dive blindly, let alone anything else, in case they hit something along the way and cause any damage to the capital ships.
"Brother-in-law, how deep are we now?" Berry Chenge was behind Fang Xu, looking at the thick black fog outside the porthole, her voice was a little weak.
Anyway, Fang Xu had never seen her look so hopeless.
"What? Are you scared?" Fang Xu joked with a smile.
"No, it's just too dark!" Berry Chenge wanted to refute, but she seemed even more emboldened.
"How can it be dark? It's very bright on the other side." Fang Xu said, pointing to the bright lights not far outside. It was the light on the Black Stone collar not far away, marking the outline of the entire Black Stone collar .
"I didn't say that, brother-in-law is really mean." Berry Chenge muttered dissatisfied.
After all, except for the light from the floating ship outside the window, it was completely dark.
In such a dark world, the lights on a few floating ships can't completely dispel the fear of darkness deep in human hearts.
"Don't worry, even if we die, the two of us will die together." Fang Xu said with a smile while holding Berry Chenge's hand.
"I'm not going to die, and you're not allowed to die, my sister is still waiting for us to go back." Berry Chenge muttered, but she also held Fang Xu's hand forcefully.
"I have dived [-] meters, which is ten kilometers, and I can't see the light above at all." Fang Xu looked up at the sky, and it was pitch black there, and the black mist had already covered everything.
"Ten kilometers, is it such a short distance?" Berry Chenge's voice was even a little puzzled, she thought she had dived for at least a hundred kilometers now.
"Don't underestimate ten kilometers. This is a vertical downward distance, not a distance of ten kilometers on a plane. You feel that it takes a long time because you can't dive as fast as you usually fly. You must take your time. Yes." Fang Xu said with a smile.
"That's it, okay then." Berry Chenge nodded, agreeing with Fang Xu's explanation.
I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, and there was still a signal. Although it was much weaker than on the ground, it did exist.
Of course, this signal is definitely not because of the satellite, but because of the released signal relay floating ball, which is always running.
Whenever the floating fleet dives a certain distance, it will release a batch of such relay floating balls to maintain communication with the ground.
So until now, Berry Chenge can still talk to Yinyue Chenge, and can also receive cell phone signals.
"Brother-in-law, I'm so tired!" Berry Chenge said suddenly.
"It's easy to get tired if you always look at the monotonous scenery, and it's night now, so you should go and rest." Fang Xu thought for a while and said.
"Brother-in-law, don't you rest?"
"I'm waiting for a while."
"Then I will accompany you!"
Fang Xu smiled, reached out and patted Berry Chenge on the head, but said nothing.
In this way, the two stood in front of the porthole and watched for a long time, until the staff on the bridge began to change shifts, and Fang Xu also took Berry Chenge to the lounge next to him to rest.
The next morning, the scenery outside the window was still pitch black.
Fang Xu got up, got dressed, ate something, and returned to the bridge with Berry Morning Song.
The staff who had been on duty overnight had already gone to rest, and the newly replaced staff continued to nervously control the orderly dive of the floating ship.
"Brother-in-law, what is the distance now?" Berry Chenge asked with a sigh.
"One hundred kilometers." Fang Xu's expression was very serious.
After a night of diving, the floating ship continued to fly downward, as if the entire abyss had no bottom.
"One hundred kilometers!" Berry Chenge nodded, as if she was completely unaware of what this distance meant.
"Do you know the distance from the Tiangong space station to the ground?" Fang Xu asked with a glance at her.
"I don't know." Berry Chenge was stunned for a moment, completely confused why Fang Xu suddenly mentioned the space station.
"Four hundred kilometers, the distance between Tiangong and the ground is four hundred kilometers! And the distance we have penetrated underground is already a quarter of the distance of Tiangong." Fang Xu explained.
"Have we all dived so deep? If we fly to the sky, won't we fly out of the atmosphere?" Only then did Berry Chenge realize the seriousness of the problem.
Fang Xu nodded and said nothing more.
The twelve main airships are still diving. Obviously, [-] kilometers is not the focus of the abyss.
It was at this moment that the airship for exploration that had been lowered suddenly received a signal of being attacked.
According to the reality of the monitoring screen, the figure of the Harpy appeared in the black mist.
They are attacking the exploration airship.
"Appeared, the enemy appeared."
"Do you want to recover the exploration airship? Please instruct!"
The entire fleet immediately tensed up.
"No need for now, order the Baihe to speed up the dive, to a hundred meters above the exploration airship, and protect the exploration airship." Fang Xu ordered.
As a result, the Baihe broke away from the main force, accelerated and began to dive.
The entire fleet was originally located a kilometer above the exploration airship. This time, because the exploration airship was attacked, Fang Xu sent the Baihe to dive.
Rather than protecting the exploration airship, it is better to say that the Shirakawa undertook the fleet's dive exploration work.
After all, when there are no enemies, the unmanned exploration airship can still undertake the exploration mission, but after there are enemies, the airship can only come forward.
And the airship that was commanded to be operated by someone alone, diving to a thousand meters in this dark abyss, it would be better to say that they are sending them to death.
There must be a floating ship to follow.
Soon, the Shirakawa airship dived to about [-] meters above the unmanned airship.
The searchlights patrolled back and forth in the dark mist, and from time to time, the figure of the Harpy could be seen.
And these harpies did not attack bravely like the harpies on the battlefield.
Except for a few hard-headed ones who rushed to the White River and were blown up by anti-aircraft guns and rockets, most of them hid in the distance and secretly watched.
So the White River could only release the airship to drive out the harpies.
But the airship cannot leave the White River too far to prevent getting lost.
In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate, and the floating fleet continued to dive.
You can't return just because you meet a few harpies!
"Brother-in-law, how deep is it now?"
"Four hundred kilometers!" Fang Xu said with a sigh.
At this time, another two days have passed.
But the abyss is still bottomless.
Fang Xu even began to doubt a little bit, the abyss really has no bottom, right?
(End of this chapter)
Outside Baihe City, a brand new floating battleship named Black Stone Collar, and New Baihe, two 300-meter-long battleships of the same level, are ready to go.
In addition, there are 80-meter-long battleships Shirakawa, Clover, Red Maple, and seven other 80-meter-class battleships that have just left the factory for a total of ten ships.
Including the Black Stone Collar and the New Shirakawa, there are a total of twelve capital ships in the fleet.
This is the entire lineup for this expedition to the abyss.
It didn't carry any armed floating ships, mainly armed floating ships without magic barriers, and its survivability in the abyss was worrying.

After fighting hard, Berry Chenge obtained authorization from her sister to accompany Fang Xu on the expedition.
Besides, even Baicha Baofeng had to stay and work with Yinyue Chenge.
So at the time of farewell, Fang Xu hugged Yinyue Chenge and Baicha Baofeng respectively for a long time.
Finally, after all the combat magic puppets of the twelve airships had boarded the ship, Fang Xu waved to the two of them, took Berry Morning Song, the head maid, and Daji Miaoji, and turned to board the flagship New White River.

I have to say that it is also beneficial to take her with you, at least it can act as a pistachio from time to time to soothe Fang Xu's emotions.
"I still remember that the last time I took this road was at this time last year. At that time, I went to explore the border of the abyss with your sister. I didn't expect to go on an expedition to the abyss this year. I always feel a little emotional. Time flies so fast." Fang Xu smiled. said with a smile.
"It's been a year in the blink of an eye, but it's only been a year? I thought it's been a long time." Berry Chenge said while hugging Fang Xu, blinking her eyes.
"A year is really not long, but because too many things have happened, it feels like a long time!" Fang Xu said after thinking about it.
"Ah, it seems to be here, the boundary of the abyss." Berry Chenge said, pointing to the distance.
"Yeah, last time I walked on the ground, it took me a day to arrive. This time I was flying in the sky, and the speed was much faster." Fang Xu nodded.

Coupled with the title "The first day of the expedition to the abyss!", a large number of onlookers soon came in to watch.
Everyone is discussing what the abyss is.
There are also doubts about whether there will be a signal after entering the abyss.
"If you enter the abyss, there will be no signal, right?"
"Can you still post videos by then?"
"Surely not, don't die in the abyss."
"The crow's mouth upstairs should not say a few words."

"Brother-in-law, can the signal relay be successful?" Berry Chenge asked.

There are both airships and some special floating balls.
The huge floating ball has no function, it can only float in mid-air for signal relay.
Such relay points will be deployed continuously during the abyss dive, and each deployment will not only deploy one to ensure sufficient redundancy.
"The unmanned relay airship has been released."
"The unmanned relay floating ball has been released."
"The departments are in place."
The report sounded continuously.
"Start diving into the abyss." Fang Xu ordered.
"Command received, start diving."
In an instant, the twelve battleships slowly began to dive into the abyss.
Fang Xu stood by the porthole on the bridge, watching the window gradually being shrouded in thicker and thicker black fog.
The New Shirakawa has entered the range of the black mist of the abyss.
Berry Chenge stood beside Fang Xu, and unconsciously clenched Fang Xu's arm tightly.
The twelve battleships in the surrounding area were gradually covered in the black mist, and they could only see the flashing lights on each other's ships.
Because the distance between each other is not enough for the black fog to block each other's sight, the twelve battleships can still see each other.
It can be regarded as adding courage to each other.
They are not alone after all.
"Start lowering the exploration airship!"
"The airship has been lowered, the depth is 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters! No abnormalities."
"The fleet dives 1000 meters, and the exploration airship continues to be lowered."
Twelve capital ships, each of which has more than one unmanned floating airship, is pulled by the guide rope and flies towards the floating fleet.
After flying out to a certain distance, no abnormalities were found, and the floating fleet above continued to dive.
This is also the most reliable way to find the way that the fleet can come up with without any information about the abyss.
After all, it is unacceptable to directly let twelve capital ships dive blindly, let alone anything else, in case they hit something along the way and cause any damage to the capital ships.
"Brother-in-law, how deep are we now?" Berry Chenge was behind Fang Xu, looking at the thick black fog outside the porthole, her voice was a little weak.
Anyway, Fang Xu had never seen her look so hopeless.
"What? Are you scared?" Fang Xu joked with a smile.
"No, it's just too dark!" Berry Chenge wanted to refute, but she seemed even more emboldened.
"How can it be dark? It's very bright on the other side." Fang Xu said, pointing to the bright lights not far outside. It was the light on the Black Stone collar not far away, marking the outline of the entire Black Stone collar .
"I didn't say that, brother-in-law is really mean." Berry Chenge muttered dissatisfied.
After all, except for the light from the floating ship outside the window, it was completely dark.
In such a dark world, the lights on a few floating ships can't completely dispel the fear of darkness deep in human hearts.
"Don't worry, even if we die, the two of us will die together." Fang Xu said with a smile while holding Berry Chenge's hand.
"I'm not going to die, and you're not allowed to die, my sister is still waiting for us to go back." Berry Chenge muttered, but she also held Fang Xu's hand forcefully.
"I have dived [-] meters, which is ten kilometers, and I can't see the light above at all." Fang Xu looked up at the sky, and it was pitch black there, and the black mist had already covered everything.
"Ten kilometers, is it such a short distance?" Berry Chenge's voice was even a little puzzled, she thought she had dived for at least a hundred kilometers now.
"Don't underestimate ten kilometers. This is a vertical downward distance, not a distance of ten kilometers on a plane. You feel that it takes a long time because you can't dive as fast as you usually fly. You must take your time. Yes." Fang Xu said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I'm so tired!" Berry Chenge said suddenly.
"It's easy to get tired if you always look at the monotonous scenery, and it's night now, so you should go and rest." Fang Xu thought for a while and said.
"Brother-in-law, don't you rest?"
"I'm waiting for a while."
"Then I will accompany you!"
Fang Xu smiled, reached out and patted Berry Chenge on the head, but said nothing.
In this way, the two stood in front of the porthole and watched for a long time, until the staff on the bridge began to change shifts, and Fang Xu also took Berry Chenge to the lounge next to him to rest.
The next morning, the scenery outside the window was still pitch black.
Fang Xu got up, got dressed, ate something, and returned to the bridge with Berry Morning Song.
The staff who had been on duty overnight had already gone to rest, and the newly replaced staff continued to nervously control the orderly dive of the floating ship.
"Brother-in-law, what is the distance now?" Berry Chenge asked with a sigh.
"One hundred kilometers." Fang Xu's expression was very serious.
After a night of diving, the floating ship continued to fly downward, as if the entire abyss had no bottom.
"One hundred kilometers!" Berry Chenge nodded, as if she was completely unaware of what this distance meant.
"Do you know the distance from the Tiangong space station to the ground?" Fang Xu asked with a glance at her.
"I don't know." Berry Chenge was stunned for a moment, completely confused why Fang Xu suddenly mentioned the space station.
"Four hundred kilometers, the distance between Tiangong and the ground is four hundred kilometers! And the distance we have penetrated underground is already a quarter of the distance of Tiangong." Fang Xu explained.
"Have we all dived so deep? If we fly to the sky, won't we fly out of the atmosphere?" Only then did Berry Chenge realize the seriousness of the problem.
Fang Xu nodded and said nothing more.
The twelve main airships are still diving. Obviously, [-] kilometers is not the focus of the abyss.
It was at this moment that the airship for exploration that had been lowered suddenly received a signal of being attacked.
According to the reality of the monitoring screen, the figure of the Harpy appeared in the black mist.
They are attacking the exploration airship.
"Appeared, the enemy appeared."
"Do you want to recover the exploration airship? Please instruct!"
The entire fleet immediately tensed up.
"No need for now, order the Baihe to speed up the dive, to a hundred meters above the exploration airship, and protect the exploration airship." Fang Xu ordered.
As a result, the Baihe broke away from the main force, accelerated and began to dive.
The entire fleet was originally located a kilometer above the exploration airship. This time, because the exploration airship was attacked, Fang Xu sent the Baihe to dive.
Rather than protecting the exploration airship, it is better to say that the Shirakawa undertook the fleet's dive exploration work.
After all, when there are no enemies, the unmanned exploration airship can still undertake the exploration mission, but after there are enemies, the airship can only come forward.
And the airship that was commanded to be operated by someone alone, diving to a thousand meters in this dark abyss, it would be better to say that they are sending them to death.
There must be a floating ship to follow.
Soon, the Shirakawa airship dived to about [-] meters above the unmanned airship.
The searchlights patrolled back and forth in the dark mist, and from time to time, the figure of the Harpy could be seen.
And these harpies did not attack bravely like the harpies on the battlefield.
Except for a few hard-headed ones who rushed to the White River and were blown up by anti-aircraft guns and rockets, most of them hid in the distance and secretly watched.
So the White River could only release the airship to drive out the harpies.
But the airship cannot leave the White River too far to prevent getting lost.
In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate, and the floating fleet continued to dive.
You can't return just because you meet a few harpies!
"Brother-in-law, how deep is it now?"
"Four hundred kilometers!" Fang Xu said with a sigh.
At this time, another two days have passed.
But the abyss is still bottomless.
Fang Xu even began to doubt a little bit, the abyss really has no bottom, right?
