Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 251 The big star in the sunken ship
"Dear students, we are in a certain sea area in the northern hemisphere at this time. The specific longitude and latitude need to be marked in the homework at the end of the course practice. I think you should have a rough judgment yourself."

"The sea area here was an area that was abandoned when the battle base of the Ship of Theseus was selected. The reason is that the reaction of the spell machine was discovered here, and it is said that there will be the so-called ghost ship phenomenon."

"After scientific investigation, we believe that this ghost ship phenomenon is a ship that was destroyed by the indigenous people during the early colonial period in the 45th century but did not sink. Due to the influence of ocean currents and monsoon climate, there is no way to leave this temperate zone and can only float on the sea. Because of its old and decayed style, it was regarded as a ghost ship. However, in order not to affect the gunfire aiming system of the Ship of Theseus, which would lead to accuracy and operator misjudgment, it was abandoned as an early training sea area for the base. .”

Bridge woke the group members early in the morning, stood on the bow of the boat and talked endlessly about the history of this area of ​​​​the sea.

"Then our task today is to learn how to dive in shallow waters and try to salvage those ghost ships that have gradually sunk in this sea area as time goes by. Of course, whether you catch something or not is not a criterion for completing the course. As long as it can be successfully Completing the standard diving procedures will be considered as qualified, and there is no distinction between excellent and good.”

After Bridger finished speaking, the accompanying execution department specialists threw in a equipment box, which contained standard diving clothing and oxygen equipment.

Astra took advantage of people choosing equipment and listening to the explanation from the executive department specialist who was still working as a diving instructor for some time. She came to Amanda and asked in a low voice:

"I'm a little afraid of water, Amanda. Master Lion can swim in lava, but I'm a little scared, afraid that something will happen that will affect you."

Amanda comforted: "What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, you can just cover it with form and fly out. The current form cover can be done for about 1 minute, which is enough to give you a guarantee and let you slowly adapt. "

"Then, can we really fish things out of the water?" Astra's brain circuit jumped quickly.

Amanda didn't know how to answer. Judging from the fact that this was used as a course practice location, even if there was anything down there, it would have been dug up long ago.

Besides, what treasures can be found in early colonial ships?

If it was before the slave trade, then these ships would basically be able to maintain the crew's most basic survival needs.The slave trade in this world was ended in a short period of time. If the ship is from that period, the condition is even worse, and there is no treasure at all.

While the two were talking, it was time to choose equipment.

Yesterday, the instructor had already handed over some basic knowledge on the road. After changing into diving clothes and putting on the equipment, Amanda skillfully turned over into the water and let herself float at a suitable height.

There are some advantages to growing up by the sea. At least I can stabilize my body quickly after entering the water, so that my arms are not still fluttering here for a long time like other people.

After everyone stabilized their bodies, Bridge and the instructor began to sink into the water first, guiding the other students to slowly relax their bodies, adjust their equipment, and dive underwater.

Amanda didn't expect to find anything today. Anyway, she just thought of it as learning to dive with equipment.There may be underwater battles in the future, which can be regarded as familiarity in advance.

The underwater world is not as transparent as people imagine. Especially in those ocean promotional videos, the clear images that are almost visible to the naked eye at shallow depths will give people a wrong understanding of the ocean.

In fact, after the entire body is parallel to the sea level, in the field of vision of the underwater glasses, the entire sun's light projection seems to have been covered with a layer of cloth.

The translucent ocean is exclusive to shallow seas with a depth of only three or four meters. When you go to a slightly farther area, you can only see dark blue or dark green ripples when you look down, making you feel confused and confused, as if you are walking on the street. There were soft sandstorms flying everywhere. Although there was no danger, they also blocked the view.

Amanda estimated that the visibility was only about ten meters. According to Bridge's instructions, at a depth of about two meters underwater, she and all her companions who entered the water used hand gestures to confirm safety, and then under the instructions of the coach, they followed Follow the fixed pole extending from the boat and head deeper.

Until we were about 15 meters underwater, when we looked around, there was only a thin layer of bright coating left in the sky, and everywhere there was water unconsciously washing away earmuffs and sad metal oxygen tanks. Swish sound.

In fact, it is rare to see so-called marine life in this kind of sea area. It is pure silence. No matter how anxious you are, you will calm down instantly here.

If you are someone who has some deep sea phobia, if your back is not leaning against the railing iron lock, you may not be able to help but get cramps in your thighs and want to float towards the sea very quickly.

They will stay in this place for close to 5 minutes.

When I was on the boat, it took half an hour just to change the equipment.

But here, just 5 minutes, seems to be as long as a year.

In fact, there are no ghost ships at all here. You can only see the top of the rising undersea mountains at least 50 meters below, which is regarded as the bottom of the sea.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you will encounter the only recorded ghost ship that has sunk into the water but did not completely fall to the bottom of the sea. There is a sealed cavity inside that allows the ship to float in the undercurrent of 40 meters underwater.

That could be called a ghost submarine, Amanda cursed.

This is the same chance as finding a needle in a haystack. They are unlikely to meet each other anyway, so they can't be so unlucky that they can encounter them here.

Soon, the pointer of the meter has reached the yellow zone, and under the guidance of the coach, they will gradually rise.

Only the academy would dare to let five teenage children dive to 15 meters for the first time.

"Amanda, Small, something is coming."

Omega just finished speaking.

At this time, Bridge, who was observing the nearby area from a distance, suddenly began to wave his arms vigorously, indicating that they should pull away to both sides as soon as possible.

Amanda looked back instinctively, and saw a rotten-looking ship with most of its outer shell falling off, leaving only some metal-wrapped parts inside. Most of its body poked out from the gray darkness in the distance.

This boat is about 30 meters long and seven meters wide.

Invisible currents of water steadily dragged the sides of the wreckage, allowing the unsinkable vessel to cruise its course.

Astra was obviously panicked, but she quickly calmed down and released the hook lock on her body to release a large distance, allowing herself to retreat.

Several other students froze on the spot and hurriedly began to pull the rope.

But at this time, the ship was about to hit the fixed pole.
