Chapter 420 Dive into the sea
Just finished writing, let me correct the typo.
3000—Ananda Shesha.
Ananda Shesha is a huge aquatic snake-like creature, very similar in appearance to the moray eel.
Its head size is about 2.5 meters in diameter, and its body can be up to 10 meters in diameter. The total body length cannot be measured, and it is estimated to be 600-900 kilometers.
Its body is very large, so it generally does not like to move, and only moves its head during certain stimulation or eating periods, and most of its body is located in the Ganges sector.
3000 is a carnivore. Although it has little activity, it has the ability to move quickly and kill its prey. However, according to the agency’s guess, 3000 does not actually need nutrients to maintain biological functions. It eats for other purposes.
Ananda Shesha has a certain degree of cognitohazard. Observing it directly or entering a certain range around it will cause severe psychological changes in the observer. The personnel will experience unexplained headaches, delirium, fear and panic, and Memory loss or tampering.
Although 3000 is very dangerous for humans, the authority has classified it as Thau, because it excretes a thin, sticky dark gray substance from the skin during the period of eating prey, which is named Y909 by the authority. This Y909 is the main ingredient of many amnestic agents.
In summary, the Administration attaches great importance to 3000. It can be said that a large part of the significance of the area53 site is because of it.
Brandt said to Yang Xue: “Dr. Yang, in fact, during the initial investigation of the incident, our first suspected target was 3000, but its head was hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline, and it had always been on the warship. Under surveillance, there was no change, so we had to shift the direction of the investigation.”
Yang Xue carefully looked at the 3000 information that Brandt gave her, and then nodded: “On this basis, it is indeed impossible to conclude that the collective throwing into the sea was caused by 3000, but its suspicion still cannot be ruled out, Brandt. Director, I want to see it.”
Brandt’s main channel: “Dr. Xue Yang, it is very dangerous there, you have to think carefully.”
“Don’t worry.” Yang Xue smiled, “I have considered it clearly before I came here.”
Three days later, Yang Xue rushed to the depths of the Bay of Bengal in a special vessel of the Administration.
At a distance of more than 200 nautical miles, they drove for two days and one night, and arrived at the target sea area at dusk on March 11.
The sea level was sparkling in the setting sun.
Yang Xue looked far away from the boat she was on, and saw a small black spot at the end of her sight.
As the ship progressed, the little black spot grew bigger and bigger, and eventually turned into a giant warship.
The name of this giant warship is Eremita.
It has been serving in this sea area for a full ten years, and the task is to follow Ananda Shesha to ensure that it is always under the supervision of the Authority.
An hour later, Yang Xue boarded the warship.
The name of the person in charge of the warship is Brown Judson, an veteran general who is nearly seventy years old.
Yang Xue saluted him.
Judson replied, and then smiled and said: “Little girl, your posture is very standard, have you been to a military camp?”
Yang Xue nodded: “When I first joined the administration, I served in the army for two years.”
“Not bad.” General Judson nodded, his face full of approval, “There are not many young people willing to endure hardship now.”
Before coming, Yang Xue had read the information about the general. He had no children and never chose to retire to go home to enjoy the blessings. Instead, he was in charge of the warship. It is said that he has not returned to land for several years.
It is impossible to refute this sentence from him.
General Judson said: “Dr. Xue Yang, you are here to see’it’.”
“Yes.” Yang Xue said, “General Judson, when can I see it.”
“No hurry.” General Judson looked up at the setting sun in the distance, and the soldiers who were loading and unloading supplies back and forth, “After this meal, we will discuss it later.”
The ship Yang Xue took was actually a supply ship, carrying a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and various canned meat products, etc., transported supplies for the Eremita warship once every half a month, and also took away from the warship. Domestic waste generated.
Every time the supply ship comes, the soldiers on the warship will be very excited, because this means that they can have more meals in the last two days.
Yang Xue looked at the simple smiling faces and sighed.
3000 is a very special project, it will unknowingly produce cognitohazards.
Therefore, the Authority has developed a detention agreement called Atzak, according to which personnel stationed on the Eremita are generally not allowed to leave the ship.
In other words, in name, the Eremita warship exists to monitor 3000, but in fact it is more like a maritime prison.
These soldiers, including General Judson, are all prisoners, and no one can leave here.
Yang Xue saw that many soldiers had peeled their hands and faces, and even had some swelling. This was a symptom caused by long-term expectation at sea.
Before, Yang Xue thought that the work in the laboratory was dull and boring, but compared with the soldiers who could only see the sea all day, she didn’t know how many times happier.
Unlike ordinary warships, alcohol can be consumed on the Eremita, but it needs to be rationed regularly, and only in the few days when the replenishment ship arrives.
After dinner, the soldiers played boxing games on the cleats. Yang Xue and General Judson watched them on the higher terrace.
After a boxing match, the winner was put on his shoulders by his comrades to accept everyone’s cheers.
The soldier saw Yang Xue standing next to General Judson and whistled at her.
For these soldiers who have stayed here all year round, General Judson is not only their superior, but also an elder.
So I respect and love him, but not afraid.
“These stinky boys!” General Judson scolded with a smile, “Dr. Xue Yang, don’t care. They are all stinky problems that have been cultivated by no one for many years. I will take care of them tomorrow!”
Yang Xue smiled and shook her head. She could feel that this was the simplest emotion.
Yang Xue and General Judson were blowing the sea breeze together, and after eight o’clock, they came to General Judson’s office.
Someone was waiting there long ago.
“Dr. Xue Yang, this is my Chief of Staff Brockton. The next thing is for you two to discuss.”
General Judson is old. Although his prestige is high, he has no ability and energy to deal with these matters on the warship. His stay here is more like a symbolic meaning.
And the chief of staff who really handles the specific affairs is the chief of staff, who has been busy with the handover of supplies in the afternoon.
No wonder General Judson told Yang Xue to finish dinner first.
Brockton is a pragmatic person, he did not greet Yang Xue, and went directly to the topic.
“Dr. Xue Yang, I received an order from the headquarters, are you here to investigate Ananda Shesha?”
“Yes.” Yang Xue nodded, “Recently, there has been a vicious incident of large-scale throwing into the sea on the coastline. We suspect it is related to it. I must determine whether its condition is normal. Is there any way to approach it?”
“Yes, according to the rules established by the Administration, we will’feed’ Ananda Shesha and extract Y909 from time to time. When eating, it is when it is weakest. If you want to get close to it, Is the best opportunity.”
The officers and soldiers on the Eremita followed 3000 all the year round, and they even knew more about its habits than some researchers.
Yang Xue asked, “When will the next feeding be?”
“In fact, this supply ship is sending ‘feed’ for it. According to the plan, our feeding time will be tomorrow.”
Sleepless all night.
Yang Xue didn’t fall asleep very much. She hadn’t been seasick in the boat before.
Lying on this stable warship, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Before I knew it, I thought of Zhang Jue, wondering where he is now and whether he is in danger.
Soon in the morning, Yang Xue’s spirits were pretty good, and she didn’t feel sleepy because she didn’t sleep all night, after all, she was still young.
At eight o’clock, Yang Xue finished breakfast in the cafeteria, and then came to the deck as agreed.
The Chief of Staff Brockton and his soldiers are preparing for the feeding.
Because the bureau has a very large demand for amnestics, it will feed 3000 every once in a while to collect Y909 secreted from its body.
The feed given to 3000 is nothing else, but a person, to be precise, a D-class personnel.
This time, a prisoner was sent. It is said that he hacked his son-in-law’s family to death in a frenzied manner. However, because his daughter was the only family member of the victim, he naturally obtained a letter of understanding and thus made the sentence lighter.
To some extent, it is equivalent to a bug.
Therefore, he was not sentenced to death, but he did not know what means the bureau used to turn him into a D-class personnel.
He was struggling with his head covered by a black pocket.
“Who are you? You don’t have the right to execute me! I have received the forgiveness of the victim’s family!”
His voice was a little noisy.
The soldier next to him was a little impatient and kicked his leg.
He cried out in pain and fell to his knees.
The man in a white coat next to the soldier took a needle in his neck.
His body twitched for a while, then collapsed to the ground.
Then several soldiers hurriedly put on a high-pressure diving suit for him, and stuffed him into the air-locked room of a remote-controlled unmanned submarine.
He will be put in the water to feed the fish in a while.
Yang Xue has been watching with cold eyes, without the slightest sympathy.
Most of the people who can be selected as D-class personnel by the administration are extremely criminal. In Zhang Jue’s words, it is not too much to shoot for ten minutes.
In the past few years, the number of D-class personnel who died under Yang Xue’s hands was not one hundred or eighty.
This is the only compensation they can make after damaging the world.
At eight ten ten, a soldier found Brockton.
“Report! Everything is normal for 3000, do you start feeding operations now?”
Brockton nodded: “Now start.”
The soldier said to the intercom: “Go!”
Following his order, the remote-controlled unmanned submarine with “feed” was lowered into the sea.
Inside the cabin, the staff turned on the radar and manipulated the submarine to start heading towards 3000.
At ten ten, the submarine reached the designated position.
The staff opened the airlock, and the D-class personnel wearing a high-pressure diving suit was exposed to the sea. At this time, he was still in a coma and could only be dragged forward by the submersible.
At 10:20, 3000 heads were already visible on the radar.
The crew’s remote-controlled submersible cut the rope in the air-lock, and the feed floated in the deep sea.
At ten thirty, 3000, who was in a semi-sleep state, found prey floating near his head.
It didn’t move its huge body at all, just stuck out its tongue, and suddenly rolled the feed into its mouth.
At the same time, the staff on the Eremita warship pressed the timer.
Two and a half hours after swallowing food, when 3000 is at its weakest, the collection of Y909 is generally carried out at this time.
Yang Xue also put on the diving suit, ready to dive into the sea floor with the collectors at any time.
“Dr. Xue Yang, I will remind you one last time. You are not a professional diver. This may be very dangerous for you, and the time is limited. Aside from the dive time, you only have at most half an hour to check the state of 3000. confirm.”
The Chief of Staff of Brockton looked at Yang Xue: “And once something goes wrong, we can’t go down and save you.”
This is what has been told to her a long time ago, and Yang Xue nodded: “No problem.”
At ten forty-five, Yang Xue jumped into the sea with several Y909-collecting team members.
This is not the first time Yang Xue has gone to sea for homework, but she hasn’t done similar things for a long time, and she doesn’t know if she can keep up with her physical and psychological.
Diving is different from swimming, and diving in shallows is very different from diving in deep sea.
At this time, it was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly, but there were many planktons here, and the depth that the sun could penetrate was only tens of meters. Below 100 meters, it was pitch black.
Wearing a special high-pressure diving suit, Yang Xue followed a few team members and dived all the way.
Surrounded by quiet sea water, she can only judge the positions of the other team members by scanning the radar on the mask.
An hour later, they dived near 3000’s head.
Here, she will part ways with several players.
Y909 is secreted in 3000’s trunk.
But Yang Xue wanted to look at its brain.
After a few team members left, only Yang Xue was left.
At this time she was on the seabed several hundred meters deep.
Wearing protective clothing, it is very inconvenient to move, and there is darkness all around.
If it is a person who is not determined, I am afraid that as long as he stays here for a few seconds, he will collapse.
But Yang Xue doesn’t do it anymore.
I have to admit that after knowing Zhang Jue, her growth rate is visible to the naked eye.
Two or three years ago, she was terribly scared in 087.
But at this moment, she did not have the slightest fear in her.
Yang Xue followed the locator, UU reading www.uukanshu.com came to the head of 3000.
It is so huge, even if Yang Xue can’t see it at all, she can still feel the oppression emanating from it.
Yang Xue fell slowly, her fins stepping on its head.
Yang Xue turned on the special high-wattage light and approached it, only to realize that its skin was actually silvery white.
She went around in a circle, but it was so big that Yang Xue didn’t even know where she was on its head.
Yang Xue looked at it, and only ten minutes were left before the agreed return time.
She found nothing.
Is it over like this?
At this moment, Yang Xue felt her feet slip.
Then lost consciousness.
…
Thanks to Qin Zhidaoer for his reward.
