Chapter 472 Abnormal Situation
[Poseidon] The side secondary propulsion device is turned off.
Under the action of gravity, it begins to fall freely.
It spanned more than ten meters of distance and smashed into the dark and deep ocean of liquid ammonia!
After a violent shaking, the cockpit returned to stability.
Hansent quickly checked the holographic projection in front of him.
After there was no problem with the hull, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little excitement: "[Poseidon] Call the command center! I have successfully entered the sea!"
As for Hope, who was standing beside him, he also recovered from the impact at this moment.
He skillfully operated the holographic images on the console.
“The power system is starting.”
“Successfully started.”
The moment the words fell, a slight recoil came from the seat.
[Poseidon] The propeller at the tail begins to gradually accelerate under the power drive.
It stirs the liquid ammonia sea water and pushes the exploration ship forward.
"good!"
From the over-distance communication device, Lu Yongchang's full of energy came, and at the same time, a slight cheer could be heard.
It can be imagined that at this time, there is a scene of cheering and joy in the command center of Dawn Star.
Hope's mouth rose slightly, and the fear in his heart was dispelled by the cheers.
"Prepare to dive!" Lu Yongchang immediately issued an order, "Always pay attention to the changes in pressure."
"Once an abnormal situation occurs, float up immediately!"
...
Half an hour later.
Sensors are constantly transmitting data back to Dawn Star through over-distance communication devices.
The researchers on the Dawn Star were also quickly analyzing various data from [Poseidon].
As for Lu Yongchang, as the chief scientist, there is no need to say more.
At this time, he was completely busy.
Therefore, after half an hour of chatting, the cockpit of [Poseidon] was silent, leaving only the propeller stirring liquid ammonia and the slight noise of various instruments working.
It was pitch black outside the porthole.
High-power searchlights also seem a bit short of such areas.
“Hope.”
Hansent's voice suddenly rang: "Where are we now?"
Hope raised his hand and stroked it on the holographic projection.
【Depth: -10.13 kilometers】(Based on the liquid ammonia sea level)
【Pressure: 97230kpa】
(ps: The density of liquid ammonia is 0.617g/cm3, the gravity acceleration is 1.5g, the pressure of one meter is about 9kpa, a standard atmospheric pressure is 101kpa, and the absolute pressure is 91170kpa, plus the pressure of the gauge near the Shanghai surface is 60 standard atmospheric pressure, 6060kpa, comprehensive calculation, the pressure at this time is about 962 standard atmospheric pressure.)
(pps: Just a rough calculation)
Looking at the numbers in the holographic projection, Hansent swallowed slightly and murmured to himself: "It's already ten thousand meters..."
“How long will it take to get to your destination?”
As he said that, he moved his body uneasyly.
The ergonomic seats were comfortable to sit, but he still felt uncomfortable all over.
This discomfort is not caused by gravity or other external factors, but by simply psychological reasons.
Outside the porthole, it was pitch black.
The two of them kept sinking in the small space.
The psychological pressure this brings is extremely huge.
If both of them were not for the starship pilots, they would probably be on the verge of collapse at this time.
"It's still early." Facing Hansent's words, Hope shook his head slowly and said in a low voice, "There is only 962 standard atmospheric pressure, which is still early from the target area."
"The pressure limit of this exploration ship is 100,000 standard atmospheric pressure. Conservatively estimated... we have to go below 1,000 kilometers."
Hansent subconsciously held his breath.
The sea surface is less than one thousand kilometers...
This terrifying number made his heart tremble.
...
Dawn star.
Lu Yongchang looked at the data sent back by the detector and frowned tightly.
"What's this..." he murmured to himself.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at the holographic image on one side.
The holographic image plays a picture from an external camera.
Looking at the turbid liquid ammonia sea water in the picture, Lu Yongchang frowned.
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Zero, where has [Poseidon] been?"
The holographic image changes rapidly.
“Current depth:-261.3km.”
"Current pressure: 23344 standard atmospheric pressure."
"Let them stop!" Lu Yongchang thought for a moment and spoke directly, "Keep hovering at this position, there is something wrong with the data sent back by the sensor."
...
A few minutes later.
Video communication is connected.
"Professor, what happened?"
In the holographic projection, compared with the beginning, Hope and Hansent's mental state was significantly better.
As for the reason...
Lu Yongchang looked at the pile of playing cards beside the two of them, and his mouth twitched slightly.
Are you two on vacation?
Perhaps because he noticed Lu Yongchang's gaze, Hope moved his right hand "still" and moved the playing cards beside him a little further.
As for Hansent, he pointed at the playing cards with an awkward look on his face: "Teacher, professor, if I say, we just started playing this, do you believe it?"
Lv Yongchang: “…”
He waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, put away this thing first, and something happened."
When heading deep into the ice superstar to perform exploration missions, the driver is under extremely huge psychological pressure.
Lu Yongchang, who knows this well, naturally would not blame the two drivers for this trivial matter.
Hearing this sentence, Hope and Hansent's expressions suddenly became serious.
The two looked at each other and quickly packed up the playing cards scattered on the ground.
After a few dozen seconds.
"Professor, you said." Hope sat in the driver's seat with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.
Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment, organized some language and said slowly: "I found some abnormalities in the data sent back by the sensor."
"You can look at the liquid ammonia sea water around it. Compared with the beginning, it is obviously much turbid."
Hope was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the porthole.
After a careful observation, he looked suspiciously at Hansent next to him: "Is there any?"
Hansent also shook his head with confusion: "Professor, are you sure?"
Lu Yongchang frowned, and then operated on the holographic projection beside him.
"You have been in the ocean of liquid ammonia and may not be able to detect it."
"But if we take photos and observe the liquid ammonia sea water at different depths..."
The next moment, five pictures appeared in the holographic projection in front of Hope and Hansent.
