After taking the equipment from Jiang Lin, Jiang Chen returned to the mansion and tiptoed back to his bedroom before activating interdimensional travel.
When he came out of the bathroom, he looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two in the morning.
He tiptoed to the bed and looked at Liu Yao's peaceful sleeping face and the steady rise and fall of her chest. Jiang Chen laid down beside her and closed his eyes.
The next morning.
Although he slept late last night, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Jiang Chen was the first to wake up.
He tiptoed out of bed and didn't wake Liu Yao up. He only left a note on the table before putting on a shirt and leaving.
He took a taxi to the rural area east of Auckland. Jiang Chen walked along the coastline for a while before he found the fish farm on the map.
He dragged the owner of the fish farm and didn't waste any time. He pointed at the boat with a back cabin and asked how much it was.
Although the New Zealander didn't want to sell at first, when Jiang Chen offered a price of ten thousand NZD and was about to leave, the old fisherman immediately stopped him and signaled that it was a deal.
Ten thousand NZD was enough to buy two boats, not to mention he had been using this boat for more than a year.
After the transfer was completed, the man threw all the documents and keys into Jiang Chen's hands.
As to whether or not Jiang Chen had a driving certificate, he didn't ask. He only taught Jiang Chen the basics of driving for half an hour.
The boat was relatively easy to operate. Under the guidance of the old fisherman, Jiang Chen had learned how to operate the boat after circling the coastal waters for a while.
Although the old fisherman looked at him with concern when he got off the boat, Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention to him. But Jiang Chen didn't pay too much attention to it. He turned on the GPS navigation device, pushed the speed to the maximum, and rushed to the northwest of Port Jackson.
Today, the Hauraki Gulf was as calm as ever.
Because they didn't encounter any big waves, Jiang Chen's simple and crude method of driving the boat didn't flip over.
When the boat arrived at the area where the boat passed yesterday afternoon, just as Jiang Chen expected, his EP equipped with the fourth dimension messenger once again received the mysterious signal.
Jiang Chen immediately slowed down. He steadied the heavy steering wheel while closely watching the change of signal strength on the EP.
After cruising for a while, Jiang Chen picked out three points with the same signal strength and marked them on the paper map.
What happened next was much easier.
He connected the three points and then drew the center of the triangle. Jiang Chen quickly determined the 2D coordinates of the signal source.
"Done!"
Jiang Chen wiped his sweat and grinned. He threw the pencil in his hand to the side and drove the boat directly above the signal source.
"H?" Jiang Chen stared at the EP screen as he vaguely saw a line of blurred letters.
But because it was too blurry, he could only make out the letters.
"Is it that Hello?"
He murmured to himself as he turned off the gas.
He took out the K1-b kinetic skeleton from the storage dimension and quickly put it on.
Jiang Chen glanced at the screen on his right arm. After he confirmed all the parameters were normal, he walked to the side of the boat.
"I hope there is no strong wind."
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the water.
…
Splash.
Along with the rising bubbles, Jiang Chen gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
It was his first time diving so far from the shore. When he dived near Barrier Island, he could see the coral reef after two to three meters. But now, there was only darkness under his feet.
The light and sound around him gradually faded away. The unique depth and silence under the sea began to spread.
"It's fu * king deep." Jiang Chen looked at the instrument as he complained in a small voice.
To get rid of the claustrophobic feeling that lingered in his mind, he tapped on the screen on his right arm and turned on the searchlight on the helmet and the soles of his feet.
The sudden illumination of the searchlight scared the little guys that were peacefully swimming away.
After almost two minutes, Jiang Chen finally neared the bottom of the sea.
The colorful corals and fish, as well as the seaweed that swayed with the flow of the water, were so beautiful under the illumination of the light.
But because he already saw the underwater scenery yesterday afternoon, Jiang Chen didn't linger on the breathtaking scenery. He tapped on the screen on his right arm again and started the data exchange between the kinetic skeleton computer and the EP.
Snowflakes rose, but that hidden line of words was much clearer than it was on the surface of the sea.
"H … Help? Help? Is it a distress signal? "Jiang Chen frowned as he looked around.
There was nothing out of the ordinary around him. Obviously, there was an error in the three-point positioning. But it was inevitable since Jiang Chen didn't have any measuring equipment. He only used a pencil to do a rough manual measurement.
Shaking the frog shoes on his feet, Jiang Chen tilted his body and swam in a circle before he swam in the direction of the signal intensity.
The road at the bottom of the sea was not smooth. After twenty meters, a dark crack appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
Under the illumination of the light, he couldn't see the bottom.
Looking at the abyss, Jiang Chen glanced at the meter on his right arm.
Could it be that it couldn't reach the bottom? Or was it magma at the bottom, causing the laser to be unable to provide feedback due to the scattering effect?
Jiang Chen frowned. No matter which possibility it was, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Based on what Jiang Lin said, the K1-b was originally designed for amphibious combat, not deep sea diving, so the safe depth was only 150 meters.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before he took a deep breath and swam down the unfathomably deep trench.
Just like he expected, as he continued to dive, the signal received by the EP became stronger and stronger.
332 meters, the world record for scuba diving was unknowingly broken by Jiang Chen.
…
Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from all directions, Jiang Chen clenched his teeth as he struggled to breathe into his lungs that were pressured to the limit.
Fortunately, the compressed gas in the oxygen tank was helium. If it was nitrogen, the nitrogen dissolved in his body would make him unconscious.
420m！
Finally, the signal began to weaken as he went deeper.
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with joy as he swam up two to three meters before he began to search along the pitch-black rock wall.
Fortunately, he was injected with the genetic vaccine. If it was a normal person, they would have internal bleeding from the pressure of 40 atmospheres.
Finally, beside a rugged reef pillar, Jiang Chen saw a very unusual protrusion.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen increased his speed and swam towards the pillar.
His fingers gently touched the cold pillar and gently exerted force. He allowed the inertia to carry him to the back of the stone pillar.
The light shone on the black metal that hadn't seen the light for decades.
The water plants swayed and disturbed the silence.
"Oh my god …"
Jiang Chen blankly stared at the scenery in front of him as he momentarily forgot to breathe.
Like a gust of wind, the Klein particles swept across the dusty history.
When the sands of time fell.
The buried secret was destined to see the light again.
