Chapter 37 The Premonition of Disaster
Chapter 37 The Precursor to Disaster
I heard that I could have a meal. Sgoth completed the cleaning of the workbench with lightning speed, but this was useless because I must wait for everyone to leave together. Sgoth, who had finished cleaning up first, had to follow me to find out what to eat tonight.
After dinner, everyone came back to continue studying, and I also started brain wave control training. During the calm training process within the base, huge changes were taking place in the game.
Under the canyon inside the Qiankun Gourd, a huge fountain was still erupting. The water column kept cutting the surrounding hole walls during the jetting process. From the time we left, the water column was constantly expanding its passage. The water column continued to expand for a night. In the early morning, when I asked Sgoth and the others to have breakfast, the water column had turned into a super large fountain with a diameter of more than three kilometers. The bottom of the canyon was completely submerged by water, and the average water depth was about 7 meters.
After breakfast, we still trained. Meigui said she was going back to school and some things were going to go with her. Originally, I wanted to go with her, but Meigui said there were a lot of things and needed to run back and forth between the various office buildings of the school so that I didn't have to follow her. I happened to be in a hurry to train, so I didn't persist.
This morning, the project that Vina and the others were going to study was the use of two-wheeled vehicles. The main task was to learn to ride a bicycle. This thing is one of the characteristics of our country. Because considering safety issues, I will guide their bicycle training.
Everyone knows that the power of a bicycle is the people on the bike, which means that the greater your strength, the faster it will be. Most people ride bicycles very slowly, but Vina and the power are too terrifying, so the bicycles in their hands can fully exaggerate speed than motorcycles. This is why I have to be responsible for the guidance work. If an ordinary person is hit by a bicycle with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, it is not a joke.
After breakfast, I took them to the mountain airport behind the base. The venue is large and it is not easy to get into trouble. The training was quite smooth. Vina and the others are strengthened combat humans, and the coordination and balance ability of each part of the body are quite outstanding. It is very convenient for them to learn bicycles.
When we were happily training driving at the airport, the big fountain in the game was still spraying. One morning it doubled its caliber, and the water flow was getting faster and faster. When we stopped training at lunch time, the entire canyon no longer exists, and the water surface was already on the plane of the canyon. Unlike what we were worried about at the beginning, the monsters forced to float to the water surface and breathe were not attacked by the experience barrier. The flood did not know what destroyed the integrity of the barrier. The entire barrier actually no longer exists, but we don't know about this matter yet.
After lunch, Vina and the others began to learn to drive a four-wheeled motor vehicle. I went online to check the situation and confirmed that the water had not yet burst the gourd and I got down. Anyway, it was useless to soak in the water. As for the nozzle, I could no longer get close to it now. The water flow gushed out from it and pushed everything around. Even if Adina was there, she probably couldn't get close to it. Besides, she was not there yet!
After I went offline, I continued to carry out brain wave training, and Vena and their vehicle driving training went very smoothly. After all, for our neural response speed, cars are an easy-to-manage device. After dinner, the training continued. However, the project turned into fixed-wing aircraft driving training, so of course I still trained brain wave control.
After a whole night again, I went into the game before dawn to see the situation. It seemed that the gourd had not exploded yet and I couldn't get out for the time being. After I went offline, I planned to go to school. Of course, I was not going to class, but to go to the laboratory there to get some special medicines for Vina and the others. This base is only responsible for the research on confidential projects, and some simple synthetic drugs are made outside. Anyway, the people who make these things don't know what land they are for, so there is no problem of leaking secrets.
Because Vina and the others had been training for a day and a half, they knew that I was going out and had to go out with me today, so they had no choice but to take them all. On our way to school, there were large vortexes of varying numbers in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the game at the same time.
The source of the flood in the gourd is just as I guessed. They all come from the ocean. When we arrived at the rotunda hall at the bottom of the stone tower, we saw many passages connected to the hall. In fact, each of the passages was connected to a dislocation space, and their exits were all under the trenches of the oceans in the game. The reason why the floods were irresistible when they poured in was because the exits were connected to the seabed. How could the huge water pressure under the trench be blocked with a shield?
Originally, because the channels were relatively narrow, the speed of water convergence was not very exaggerated, and because the entrances were all at the bottom of the sea, there was no reaction on the sea surface. However, after a day of excavation, it was not only the spout at the bottom of the canyon, but the channels in the underground caves were also washed away a lot. Therefore, the speed of sea water convergence began to increase continuously. Finally, this morning, vortexes of different sizes appeared in the oceans.
In the Pacific in the game, American players' warships are escorting a team of transport ships toward Japan. This time they plan to sell these goods in Japan to make a fortune. After all, the Japanese lack any resources and it is easy to sell anything.
Tommy, the president of the guild to which the fleet belonged, just saw the beautiful sunrise on the sea on his love ship, and suddenly he found that the ship on the front right was running farther and farther. Tommy said to the eldest mate beside him: "What is the Independence doing? Why do I feel it drifting farther and farther?"
The first mate looked at it with an observation mirror before saying, "It seems that it is not the problem of the independent number, it is us deviating from the route to the left."
"Then correct it quickly."
"yes."
The first mate ordered the battleship to turn the rudder, and at the same time sent a signal to ask the ships to maintain their formation, but after a while they found that the fleet seemed to be dispersing. The first mate asked the units, but the information recovered was very strange. The operator of the listener in the water said that there were strange sounds under the water, which felt like turbulence.
Tommy waited outside the bridge for a while, and felt something was wrong, so he rushed into the cabin and shouted, "Big mate. First mate! What's going on? Why are we getting slower and slower?"
The first mate has been studying why the ship is heading in a direction, and he didn't notice that the speed was decreasing. He heard Tommy's question and looked at the speed display. The speedometer showed that the speed was indeed slowing down. He shouted to Tommy: "I'll let them correct it right now." The first mate quickly connected the telephone to the engine room. "When the engine room, why did we slow down?"
"Slow down?" The captain of the enforcer was puzzled when he heard the news. "Wait a minute. I'll go and see the situation."
After a while, the engineer ran back. "We may have encountered ocean currents or headwinds. I just increased the power output and the speed should have recovered."
The first mate looked at the speedometer and said in surprise: "Are you mistaken? We are slower than before! The speed has been decreasing!"
"Ah? Why is it still down? Then I'll drive to the maximum."
Captain Tommy also found something was wrong. "What's going on with the first mate? We are leaving the formation!"
"I don't know the sir!" Although the first mate of NPC has high artificial intelligence, even people may not understand this problem. "Captain, I have just told the engine room that we are slowing down, but they said that the power has reached its maximum, but the speed is still decreasing."
The charterman asked, “Is it a headwind?”
The data observer said: "No, we are basically in the wind now. The wind blows from the back of our left, and the wind is very small now, so even if we are headwind, we shouldn't be slowing down!"
The first mate shouted to the deck sailor outside the cabin: "Put the streamer and measure the relative flow rate."
"yes!"
A few minutes later, a sailor rolled and crawled into the bridge. "96! Relative flow rate of 96! First mate, we encountered a large vortex!"
"Do you know where the center of the vortex is?"
Before the sailor could answer, the first mate suddenly felt someone slapping him. The first mate turned around and saw the helmsman pointing at the left front with a dull look. The first mate looked at his fingers, and it would be fine if he didn't look at it. He was almost scared to sit on the ground. A huge vortex with a diameter of more than two kilometers was spinning less than five kilometers ahead of the left side of the warship.
"Right full rudder! The engine room is full at full speed. Start the auxiliary power. The flag bearer notifies the warship behind to dodge!"
They turn the rudder very promptly, but it has no meaning. The principle of vortex is to continuously rotate. The water flow in rotation can maximize the concentration of the surrounding water into the central area, so the vortex that seems to rotate very slowly is actually very powerful. And the vortex has a characteristic that when a vortex forms, it actually pulls the matter at one end to the other end instead of absorbing it from the middle.
Although the entrance of the water inlet channel is deep under the trench and should not affect the sea surface, it actually does not absorb sea water from the surrounding area. The principle of vortex allows it to pull all the sea water on the sea surface into the seabed and send it into the channel. Instead of pouring all the sea water on the seabed into the gap. This principle causes the suction force on the sea surface to become very large, and these warships do not have enough power to fight the suction force.
After Tommy's fleet turned to sail with his back to the vortex, but they were indeed gradually approaching the vortex. The entire fleet kept regressing, and no ship could resist the huge pulling force.
The closer it is to the vortex, the greater the pulling force. The last warship in the fleet is gradually pulled into the vortex and begins to rotate with the sea water. It turns as it moves, approaching the center of the vortex, and its speed is getting faster and faster. Finally, it reaches the center of the vortex. The entire ship suddenly rises up, and the bow of the ship is facing the sky and the stern is sucked vertically into the vortex. Generally, even if a warship is punched in the battlefield, it takes dozens of minutes to completely sink. However, this warship starts from the stern of the ship, and the entire bow is missing for no more than 40 seconds. For a warship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, this speed is almost the same as a sudden disappearance.
The first battleship was followed by Tommy's own ship. Although the ship could no longer be saved, he still thought of a way at the end and personally notified other ships in the fleet with flags. When the last flags were swung, the entire battleship had risen. After 40 seconds, Tommy and his ship disappeared in the center of the vortex.
According to Tommy's final order, two transport ships carrying cargo took the initiative to shut down their engines. Of course, the lost ships were quickly sucked into the center of the vortex, but the two ships were sucked under the sea by the vortex at the same time. The bow of the ship was just flooded with water. A sudden bang in the center of the vortex flew into the sky.
This was Tommy's final order, sacrificing two transport ships loaded with a large amount of ammunition to save the entire fleet. The two ships transported special high-explosive ammunition. The launch of such shells by ordinary cannons can increase the lethality by 15%. The Japanese did not have the technology of producing this thing and had to get close to the mouth, so the Americans transported them in large quantities to sell. This time, Tommy's fleet happened to have two ships of such shells. The ship that just turned off the power was the ship that transported the shells.
After the two ships were swept into the vortex, the people on the two ships detonated the ammunition at the same time, so the two ships exploded at the same time. The entire ship's shells were huge to destroy the vortex structure in an instant. Although the vortex will form again in a while, the interval between them is enough for the fleet to escape.
The vortex stopped in a loud bang, and the fleet suddenly stopped speeding and then rushed out at a rushing speed. When the vortex formed again, the fleet had already run out of safe range.
While the American fleet encountered misfortune, the British also unfortunately encountered one. However, none of them were as smart as Tommy, and the entire fleet was sucked in.
If these warships appeared at the seabed eight to ten hours earlier, they could completely seal the vortex ports, and the water pressure would crumple the warship into iron bars and stuff them into the hole to block the water flow. Unfortunately, they came too late. The hole is too big now. When the warships enter, they will not only fail to block the water flow, but they will be even worse. Metal ground warships collide everywhere in the hole. At this speed, the warships will bring a large piece of rock every time they hit the hole wall. As a result, the wreckage of these warships further accelerated the excavation speed of the hole wall.
After these wreckage, more things were sucked into the vortex, including other ships that accidentally entered the vortex area, various marine creatures, seabed rocks, strange monsters, and a bunch of messy things were sucked in any case.
Compared to the chaos at sea, the real chaos is actually the monsters in the gourd. The water level continues to rise, so they have to leave their hometowns. Moreover, since not all monsters can swim, there are quite a few who drowned.
When the monsters in the gourd were in dire straits, Erlang Shen outside the gourd was taking this time bomb to the heavenly court. The players of our guild knew that Ying and I were all in the gourd, but Erlang Shen said that this gourd is very important to the heavenly court, so we must take it back for supervision. After he promised that we would send us back in person after we came out of the gourd, Hongyue agreed to his request to take the gourd, so the gourd was no longer in Aisinger.
When several great gods in the Heavenly Court saw Erlang coming back with the gourd, they let go of their hearts. Erlang told them about the fact that we were sucked into the gourd. The great gods said that this was a small matter and they would just send it back when we came out.
The gourd returned to the secret treasure house of the Heavenly Court. Several gods guarded the treasure house, and various warning magic weapons were hung up. On the surface, everything seemed to be calm. But in fact, the gourd had already been overturned, and tens of millions of monsters were thrusting hard in the flood. Of course, monsters such as carp spirits were not uncomfortable with this, but they felt very comfortable, but the various strange iron bumps that appeared in the water made them more confused.
The monsters were fluttering in the water, the gods were enjoying leisurely, the fleet was struggling on the sea, and I was driving in the car. Because Vina and the others were going to school with me, the average car would definitely not be able to load it, and in the end I had to find a luxury bus. Although I learned to drive, Vina and the others did not have a photo. Of course, the driver was me.
After parking the car into the parking lot, we walked down together. Ling looked at the surrounding buildings and said excitedly: "Shenlin. Is this your local school?"
"Yes! How do you feel?"
"It's so big!"
“Isn’t the base area larger than here?”
"But the base is full of divided rooms with passages, not as wide as here!"
"This is true."
Vina suddenly said, "Can you take us to see your classroom?"
"Ah? Classroom? This...!" This problem is very serious. And it is embarrassing to say it.
Xiaochun was excited if he didn't know what to do. "Yes! Shenlin, you know everything about us, but we don't know you. Now let us know something."
"This..." I stammered for a long time and could only tell the truth. "Actually, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but...but...but...!"
"But what?"
"But I forgot where the classroom is!"
Boom, a large area fell around! "You don't remember where the classroom is?" Vina asked in surprise: "You should still be a student, right?"
"This...! The classrooms in colleges are not fixed. Generally, they go to which classrooms they take. And you have seen our college. The area is relatively large, so... that, there are many classrooms. And... I don't seem to have taught classes in school a few times in total!"
"It turns out that it's because you always missed classes!" Xiaochun spoke very directly!
Ling jumped out and said to me, "Master, it's not right, because it's Shenlin. I skipped classes to be with us. If he attends classes every day, we won't be able to get out! Besides, for our nervous system, we can just use an accelerated learning machine, and there is no benefit in slowly learning in the classroom."
"That's not necessarily." Xiaochun still wanted to refute but was held down by Vina.
Vina stretched out her arms, hugged Xiaochun and hugged Ling. "Don't argue with you two, the enemy still has a time to reconcile! Today is here to play, not to listen to your quarrel!"
Sure enough, Vina still has the style of a big sister, and she immediately restrained both of them.
"Okay, let's get the real thing first, let's get the stabilizer, and then whatever you want."
Chili asked, "I think my body is normal! Why do I need medicine?"
"The stabilizer I took this time is not a drug to treat diseases, but a drug to accelerate the characterization of the body's cells."
"Cell characterization?"
"Your cells are replicated in a short time with native tissue and have not passed through the egg fertilization process, so your cells lack biostasis agents. Before you get exposed to this stabilizer, your cells are undetermined, which means that if they are properly stimulated, they may be restored to the genus state of the cell, which is quite dangerous. If we can repair the muscle group, if the brain cells are reduced, then they will be completely finished."
"But aren't we doing well these days?"
"That's because you all have injected temporary stabilizers, but the effect of that thing is almost over. It will be troublesome if you don't inject permanent stabilizers within three days."
Chili said: "It's so scary. Let's get the stabilizer quickly! It's too dangerous if you die here and you can't be resurrected!"
I took them to the basement of the school's laboratory building to get medicine. In the game, the water level in the gourd continued to rise, and it was about to reach the bottle entrance. Now the big hole under the canyon in the gourd is more than ten kilometers wide, and the huge water flow has brought a lot of things outside, including some creatures, and there are still some dead ones.
In the guard room of the Heavenly Court, on a green lotus-shaped stone platform, the gourd was placed in the center of the flower. The four gods all turned their backs to the gourd, and no one noticed that there was something wrong with the gourd. At this time, the water in the gourd was gradually filled, and a faint black appeared on the gourd lid, which was a wet watermark.
Chapter completed!
