Chapter 87 Dive, Amundsen Basin
"What else are you doing after the weekend? Can you go shopping with me to buy clothes this afternoon?" The little nurse hasn't given up yet.
Shen Feng said with a smile: "Not today, I have to save the world a little bit."
With that said, he walked out the door with a large amount of gold.
"It's just nonsense..." the little nurse said angrily, pouting.
It’s really hard to eat a little fresh meat!
Walking a dog without a leash is equivalent to walking a dog.
Although Da Jinzi himself did not have orders from Shen Feng and would not attack others, others did not know this after all.
With such a large body, it can easily scare other people.
So Shen Feng simply put a collar on the golden retriever and took him home with him.
After being nursed back to health, Da Jinzi looked very beautiful, with his golden hair flowing in the wind, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The golden retriever is obviously very happy with this world full of humans. After all, this is the world it is most familiar with in its memory. It is looking around with its mouth open and its eyes full of curiosity.
However, whenever he encounters other dogs on the road, Da Jinzi immediately shows a fighting stance, bares his teeth and lets out a low growl, and the other dogs are immediately scared to death.
Along the way, whether they were pet dogs, wild dogs, or those wild cats that were kings in the streets, they all became intimidated in front of Da Jinzi.
This is a warning from biological instinct, which prevents them from making mistakes in front of this golden retriever.
Da Jinzi also held his head high and looked like a king.
Shen Feng rubbed Da Jinzi's head and cursed with a smile: "You're still dragging me down."
One person and one dog returned to the rental house. Shen Feng took off the collar of Da Jinzi, and he immediately walked around the house happily, as if he was already familiar with this place.
After circling Ji Jiuyun's stone statue a few more times, Da Jinzi lay obediently at Shen Feng's feet.
Shen Feng turned on the computer and found the news just now.
Although the baptism of the stone statue disease virus has made the top leaders of both countries a little afraid of the stone statue ruins, after all, now that there is a vaccine, it is relatively safer.
Moreover, the strange and powerful virus of stone statue disease also explains the mystery of the stone statue ruins.
The thought of such a place lying under the Arctic ice cap makes many people restless and tossing and turning.
If there are really any hidden dangers, you will feel more at ease if you find them directly and have them in your hands.
Unlike the last time when they were secretive and secretive among each other, after experiencing the stone statue disease epidemic and the final vaccine development, the views of several major countries on the matter of developing ruins have become convergent.
Put aside disputes and develop together.
After all, the benefits can be shared, and if there are any surprises, everyone can handle them together.
Of course, these situations will not be reported in the news. They are all internal information obtained by Shen Feng from the institutions of several major Arctic development countries.
For Shen Feng, this is a good thing, so that he does not have to go to the North Pole for field inspections.
Otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do for a while.
This time, in addition to China and Eagle Country, a total of ten Arctic-related countries participated in the exploration and development work.
Ten countries jointly signed a "Ten-Nation Agreement" on the development of stone statue ruins, forming a super-large scientific expedition team with nearly a thousand people.
We built five icebreakers alone, plus various other equipment, and set off for the North Pole.
At the same time, after learning from previous lessons, this exploration and development is completely a top-secret operation. A warning zone has been set up outside the ruins development area, and no one else is allowed to approach.
Entering the large hole under the ice cap, a huge biochemical isolation warehouse was built directly to monitor the internal situation at all times.
After anyone enters it, they need to undergo strict disinfection operations before they can come out again.
Various items brought from the ruins need to be placed in the isolation warehouse first, and can only be taken out after strict inspection and no problems.
The state machines of several countries were operating at the same time, and the energy generated was extremely huge. In just a few days, a base capable of accommodating hundreds of people had been built at the site of the prehistoric stone statues in the Arctic.
The previous blockade was opened, and scientific research activities began again.
Regarding this matter, even the thirteen heroes who jointly developed the stone statue disease vaccine did not stop it.
They also understand that due to human nature, it is only a matter of time before the ruins are explored again. Instead, it is better to figure out what this thing is as soon as possible while the current heat is still there and resources are concentrated.
At the entrance to the ice sheet with a diameter of thirty meters, cranes are operating, lowering a spherical submersible into the ice water dozens of meters below the entrance to the ice sheet.
Qianlong 90,000-meter-class manned submarine.
There are already four scientific expedition members in the submarine at this time, each from three countries.
There are two from the Chinese country, one from the Eagle country, and one from the Bear country.
As a member of the Ice Dragon scientific expedition team, Kong Yan was extremely excited at this time.
He had also been infected by stone statue disease before, but it was relatively mild. When he was diagnosed, he was so depressed that he had already written a suicide note to his family. Who would have thought that after a few shots of the vaccine, he would be alive and kicking again.
After finding his way, he immediately applied to join the resumption of ruins exploration activities and became the first team member to dive again.
As luck would have it, when he thought that he could once again participate in such an event that could go down in history, he just felt like he was in a dream.
"Lao Kong, don't get too excited, you have to calm down later." Vice-captain Jiang Bing reminded at the side.
Kong Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Captain Jiang, we're just controlling a camera."
This is the first dive since the resumption of scientific research. The symbolic significance is greater than the actual. The main reason is that the three major powers silently hinted at the sovereignty of the ruins.
Therefore, there is not much scientific research work, mainly recording data and taking photos and videos.
Ivan and Qiao, two scientific expedition members from the Eagle Country and the Bear Country, also gave Kong Yan a friendly smile and seemed very warm.
After all, when we get down there later, it will be just the four of them depending on each other.
"Start diving." As the leader of this four-person team, Jiang Bing said via the radio.
Several huge cranes began to release cables.
The submersible shook slightly, slowly passed through the ice layer more than ten meters thick, submerged into the water, and dived towards the deep seabed.
At first there was some faint light coming from above, but soon it became completely dark and nothing could be seen.
Several spotlights located around the submersible suddenly lit up. The light beam penetrated the salt flow and turned into a sharp sword under the influence of the Tyndall effect, splitting open the darkness of the seabed.
Occasionally fish and shrimp swim by, but there are still living things here.
But as I continued to dive, there was nothing around me.
There is only a distant, eternal darkness. Although it is illuminated a little by spotlights, the distance is still silent black.
The four people in the submarine talked quietly, trying to get rid of the fear of facing a huge silent unknown thing.
The stone statue remains are located in the Amundsen Basin, which is the highest latitude sea basin in the world, with the deepest point reaching 4,665 meters.
However, the stone statue remains are not that deep.
When the dive reached more than 3,200 meters, the detector suddenly buzzed.
Kong Yan immediately turned around the spotlights and cameras.
Dilapidated buildings appeared on the monitor screen. Their shapes were the same as those in modern cities, but they looked dilapidated, and some were covered with traces of underwater biological activity.
Scanning down again, a figure immediately appeared.
