Dragon Clan: My Word Spirit is refreshed every week

Chapter 243 What’s wrong with not having great ambitions?

"The depth is three hundred and twenty meters, the seawater flow rate is stable, the water pressure shows normal, and there is no problem with the operation of the Di Trieste."

While operating this antique-level legendary deep submersible, Caesar reported the situation to Commander Yuan Zhisheng on the Sumeru Seat.

"Okay, continue diving." Yuan Zhisheng's voice came from the communicator.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked up through the transparent observation window on the top of the Trieste.

The weak light of the searchlight shines in the blue-black sea water, and slowly gathers in the center of the observation window through the refraction of the water waves, illuminating the thick glass with a shimmering light.

That wisp of light seemed to be projected from an upside-down well in the sky, and the deep submersible seemed to be slowly sinking in a well until it was completely lost in darkness.

Lu Mingfei inexplicably remembered a fable called Sitting in a Well and Watching the Sky.

In the story, a frog lived a carefree life in a well. Suddenly one day, a bird landed on the edge of the well.

The familiar little bird chatted with the frog: "Brother, I came from the sky and flew more than a hundred miles to find this water source. I am so thirsty that I die."

Besides, even if the frog traveled through mountains and rivers, went through all kinds of difficulties, and found a bigger well, it might have been occupied by other aquatic animals.

If the frog jumps out of the well and sees the larger world, it will no longer live in that well, but will involuntarily embark on a new and unknown journey.

However, Lu Mingfei, who has no ambitions, is currently carrying out the most dangerous mission in the world.

Give me a well of my own and I can stay there for the rest of my life.

Frog immediately got up and said to Lu Yu: "Really? I don't believe it."

Yes, the outside world is indeed very big, with countless bigger, better and deeper wells, but what’s the use of that?

What's wrong with sitting in a well and looking at the sky?

Then, the little bird flew away with great enthusiasm.

The frog brother, who was over half a year old, replied: "Brother, you have to make a draft even if you are bragging! The sky is only as big as the mouth of a well, how can you fly more than a hundred miles? Are you checking the steps on WeChat while I am spinning around in circles?"

The frog brother didn't believe what the little bird said at first, but as the days went by, his back ached from playing around and he felt dizzy from fishing, he decided to go out and have a look.

Of course, it would be better to add a female frog with beautiful features!

So, it jumped out of the well and saw the vast sky and a new world that was so big that it was close to infinity.

Lu Mingfei felt that if he were that frog, he would never leave the well, or even jump out of the well to see the bigger sky.

Lu Mingfei remembers that after finishing this text, the primary school teacher said seriously: "This fable tells us a truth. To understand problems, we must stand high and see far. To understand problems, we must understand them comprehensively. We cannot be like a frog. Making mistakes without realizing it…”

Anyway, I have no ambition.

The little bird was so angry: "Believe it or not, have you heard the story of the frog in the well? It's about an ignorant frog like you. If you have the ability, you can jump out and take a look and you will know!"

Although for a frog living in a well, the world is only as small as a well and the sky is no bigger than a square inch, but what does it matter?

But in the outside world, there are all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards, big birds that fall from the sky and eat frogs, and even humans who like to eat roasted frogs. There are many dangers and a narrow escape from death.

Hearing this, Xiaoniao was speechless: "If that's what you said, then you can't say that. You are obviously ignorant. The sky is boundless, how can it be only as big as the mouth of a well!?"

Why give up your own well and risk finding a bigger one?

Under the podium, Lu Mingfei did not listen attentively to the teacher's teachings, but inexplicably felt that the frog was a little pitiful.

Dive into the deep sea to find ancient dragon embryos. If you are not careful, you will lie down on your own and feed the whole village.

Lu Mingfei looked at the dim light outside the small observation window and felt as if he had become the frog at the bottom of the well.

Unfortunately, the well he was in was not connected to a paradise of peace and joy, but to a terrifying and unknown abyss.

Yuan Zhisheng said that Jiyuan is a very special place.

Eight kilometers of seawater isolates the Ji Abyss from the entire world. The bottom of the Ji Abyss is less than one kilometer away from the Earth's mantle. The liquid hot rocks turned into lava, flowing like a fiery red river. Almost no life can exist there. Survive in extreme environments.

It was the loneliest hatchery in the world.

Although he had only dived one-thirtieth of the distance, Lu Mingfei already felt the loneliness of being far away from the world.

He already wanted to return, as the deep sea was too quiet and lonely.

Chu Zihang was keenly aware of the melancholy on Lu Mingfei's face. He pondered for a long time and decided to find a topic.

“According to a study in Nature, the total biomass on land actually only accounts for less than one percent of the total biomass on the earth. The remaining 99% may be in the sea. The sea is everything on the earth. The home of living creatures.”

Lu Mingfei was startled by Chu Zihang's voice and trembled violently.

However, he soon understood Chu Zihang's thoughts. Lu Mingfei decided not to let Chu Zihang's words fall to the ground and live up to his good intentions.

After racking his brains for brainstorming, he slowly said: "Senior brother, do you mean that I should now have the intimacy of a young man who has left home and a wanderer returning home?"

"No, there was a previous view that dragons were originally marine animals and later set foot on land, so what I mean is that the ancient dragon chose the hatchery at the bottom of the sea. To a certain extent, this dragon is like returning to its hometown. "

Lu Mingfei:...

Co-author We are now preparing to go to the hometown of the Dragon Clan. Let's borrow someone else's head from their lair, right?
Thank you, Senior Brother Chu!
You are really a little genius at chatting. Thanks to your words, I feel a lot more scared.

Lu Mingfei instantly looked helpless and turned to look at Caesar, wanting to see what this dear man had to say.

Caesar was operating the Dieste with a serious face, his hands moving rhythmically between different valves and buttons, like an experienced old captain.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but admire Caesar.

Obviously before arriving in Japan, no one knew that they were going to dive on the Ditryste this time. The academy did not carry out any relevant training, but only threw a thick operating manual over.

But after just one night, Caesar seemed to have memorized the entire operation manual and was operating the DiTrieste with ease and reliability.

Caesar carefully checked the large and small dashboards, and after confirming that the condition was normal, he took out a Cohiba cigar in an aluminum tube from his combat uniform, bit off the end of the cigar, lit it, and started smoking happily.

"The cockpit is only so big. Senior brother, are you really a man of yourselves when you smoke a cigar? Your oxygen is limited." Lu Mingfei was surprised.

Caesar shook the cigar carelessly: "Don't worry, the Dieste is equipped with an air circulation filtration system. The smell of cigar smoke will be discharged soon. Besides, we have to stay at the bottom of the sea for four hours. ”

Suddenly, several crisp sounds came from nowhere and echoed in the small cab.

Lu Mingfei's face turned pale: "Senior brother, is this 70-year-old antique of yours really reliable?"

"Don't make a fuss. This noise is normal. It's like letting a 70-year-old former world mountain climber challenge Mount Everest again. It's normal for an old bone to be a little loose." Caesar took a puff of his cigar carelessly.

"And the equipment department has reinforced a layer of memory metal on the outer shell of the deep submersible. As long as there is no problem with the outer shell, even if there are some glitches in other details, it will be fine. Well, the water pressure is now close to thirty atmospheres. Old There’s nothing wrong with the guy, he’s still strong.”

"In your Italian, do 'nothing' and 'life' have the same pronunciation?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously said nonsense, "Speaking of thirty atmospheres, how much pressure is it approximately?"

Caesar touched his chin and made an estimate in his mind: "It's probably equivalent to having a girl weighing two hundred kilograms standing on top of you."

"Do you Italians have any misunderstanding about the definition of a girl? Is a girl with two hundred kilograms!? You might as well say that all the pigs in a pig farm stood on my body!"

Lu Mingfei wanted to vomit blood.

"Haha, by the time you reach the bottom of the abyss, you will probably be covered in pigs from twenty pig farms." Caesar laughed.

"Then let's switch to a girl who weighs 4,000 kilograms. I don't want to be crushed into pulp by pigs, die under peonies, and be a ghost." Lu Mingfei also laughed inexplicably.

The corners of Chu Zihang's mouth couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

Although everyone was talking nonsense and nonsense like a lunatic, for some reason, the originally tense atmosphere quietly relaxed a little.

What the three people in the cockpit didn't know was that at the top of the Trieste, in a corner of the blind spot, a handsome boy was bearing the pressure of thirty atmospheres with a calm expression.

"Ocean, you are all water."

Zhou Xuan was bored and talking nonsense in his heart.

Shortly after the Trieste was launched, he quietly hibernated to the top of the deep submersible, hitched a ride, and prepared to go to the Divine Burial Hall.

With his excellent hearing, he also heard the conversation between the three people in the cockpit, and heard Chu Zihang's hypothesis that dragons were born in the sea.

Zhou Xuan thinks it makes sense.

As for the reason, there is no other reason.

Currently he is not using any diving equipment.

Thirty atmospheres of pressure is considered stress-free for Zhou Xuan, and he doesn't even need an oxygen bottle.

Zhou Xuan discovered that his body could now absorb a small amount of oxygen directly from sea water to maintain various body functions.

Moreover, in my impression, the ability of dragons to survive in water is also first-rate. The statement that dragons originated from the ocean is indeed quite credible.

"But according to King Bai, the dragon clan originated from the World Tree. Could it be said that the World Tree grows on the bottom of the sea?" Zhou Xuan thought in his heart.

At present, the whereabouts of the four great monarchs and even the whereabouts of the White King's remains have gradually become clear. The only ones without clues are the Black King's remains and the World Tree.

Zhou Xuan had a hunch that after the incident in Japan, the remains of the Black King and the World Tree might become the key to the future.

At this time, the communication mask on his waist suddenly vibrated.
