The waves above were getting bigger and bigger, and the sky was getting brighter.
However, the sun was blocked by the dark clouds that covered the sky, and the sky under the dark clouds became extremely gray.
The waves on the sea were five to six meters high. When the waves hit the bow of the ship, there would always be a bang, and then countless splashes would fly into the sky.
However, at the bottom of the sea at a depth of one kilometer, it was as silent as the universe.
There was no light here, no undulating waves, only darkness.
The Lord's Battleship had reached its maximum diving depth. If it continued to dive, its shell would be damaged.
At the rear of the warehouse, there were twelve wires that were slightly thicker than straws. They extended into the deeper and darker seabed below.
Twelve Squid deep-sea detectors were lined up in a straight horizontal line, like radars, sweeping across the seabed at a speed of fifteen knots.
They had their own electric propeller propulsion system, and the cables from the Lord's Battleship could provide them with a continuous source of electricity. In the circular equipment cabin in the middle, the equipment used to identify the composition of the seabed was constantly releasing circles of electromagnetic waves invisible to the naked eye.
The warehouse was temporarily transformed into a control room. Two Electronic Messengers sat in front of the computer, closely monitoring the data uploaded by the Squid.
The alarm keywords were magnesium alloy, nickel-based alloy on the fighter, and depleted uranium alloy on the shell of the nuclear bomb.
It was impossible for these alloys to be born in nature. The twelve Squids covered a two-kilometer-wide and 20-kilometer-long search zone with no blind spots. If it weren't for the length of the cable, the search range would have been even longer.
"Didi ~"
"The No.6 detector has detected magnesium alloy directly below."
The Electronic Messengers were indifferent to this prompt, because according to the magnetic induction element, the outline of the object sensed showed that it was just a small alloy fragment. It could be the wreckage of a ship, or it could be a part that was casually discarded. Only when several conditions were matched, or a relatively complete outline of the object appeared, would the computer send out a shrill alarm.

In addition to these, the Electronic Messengers could also analyze the outline of the seabed based on the completely dazzling data.
At the bottom of the deep sea below, there was a slope similar to a slide. The further they moved, the deeper the slope. Some strangely shaped hills appeared at the bottom of the sea, and the Squid would occasionally detect a large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and so on.
That was the eruption of a small underwater volcano. Anything could happen at the mysterious bottom of the sea.
In the cockpit, Ye Qing activated cruise mode and turned on all the searchlights of the Overlord battleship.
Back then, the Americans had not figured out the location of the crash. After a few decades, it would only be more unclear. The data only gave the area of the sea. Ye Qing decided to use the dragnet method to search the area within a few hundred kilometers. As long as the nuclear bomb was here, it would not be able to escape his grasp.
A huge crimson squid flashed past the porthole. Perhaps it was blinded by the light, but it immediately spat out a thick black ink at the Lord-class battleship.
Ye Qing was shocked. This creature that appeared out of nowhere almost made Ye Qing think that he had seen a ghost.
…
The search had lasted for three hours, and the deep sea was quiet. However, on the surface of the sea, there were already raging waves and torrential rain.
The weather data sent back from the Maritime Satellite had obviously underestimated the strength of the storm.
According to the real-time data sent back by the meteorological monitoring station established on the seed island, the wind speed in this area had reached level nine, and the waves were dozens of meters high. If it happened on land, a level nine wind could already uproot some trees with weak foundations.
In the Maritime Public Radio Channel, there was panic.
"This is the Selina, this is the Selina. Dispatch center, immediately give me the location of the nearest shelter port. We displace 100,000 tons of water, please find a port for us. " The screams from the Selina were mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the deck, and the howling of the wind.
"I am the Sunset. Damn, is your dispatch center stupid? Why is the wind speed two levels higher than your forecast?"
"Damn, we are a bulk container freighter. What if the container tilts into the sea?"
"The Sunset? Why are you on this route? Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the wind. There is no place to anchor in this area. Your bulk container freighter can't withstand the wind. "
"This is the Beagle. The waves have hit our warehouse. Please help me find a port, immediately!"
The torrential rain poured on the surface of the sea. Dozens of ships were tossed along with the waves in this area.
It was true that the cargo ships could withstand the waves that were dozens of meters high. However, it was like a person starving for three days and not dying. In this huge wave, the structure of the ship and the full load of cargo would be seriously threatened.
A large, beautiful cruise ship with a pure white shell. It was moving with difficulty toward the port of Puyue Island in the Palace against the waves and strong winds.
It was the Sapphire. It belonged to the world's top cruise ship travel company, the Royal Caribbean Cruise Group.
The Sapphire displaces 9,000 tons and was launched in 2015. It had 217 luxurious guest rooms. Almost all the luxurious social venues in the world were gathered on the ship.
The Royal Caribbean Cruise Group's headquarters was in the United States. The Sapphire carried more than 200 distinguished guests from the United States. It passed through Alaska, Bristol Bay, the Bering Sea, and finally crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach Asia.
This was the famous Pacific Ocean travel route under the Royal Caribbean Group. The total journey took 42 days. Along the way, they experienced the changes of the four seasons. They danced with whales and enjoyed the natural scenery of tropical beaches and a world of ice and snow.
There were 217 luxurious guest rooms. Most of them were retired executives and women with children.
After all, young rich people rarely had the time to stay on the ship for 42 days. The Sapphire was no longer the playful and leisurely scene of the past. The water in the sunlit swimming pool on the top floor was constantly swaying. The overflowing waves rolled over the surrounding rows of beach chairs.
Most of the tourists stayed in the luxurious guest rooms comparable to presidential suites. They held onto the armrests beside the bed. Their faces were pale and painful. Some people with poor physiques had already begun to vomit.
"F * ck, the local marine environment forecast provided by Japan is even more ridiculous than the politicians' mouths." The captain of the Sapphire, Brady, was so angry that he was stomping his feet in the cockpit.
The rotating glass on the porthole was spinning rapidly, shaking off the rain that hit it. However, before Brady could see anything, another huge wave hit. The waves splashed on the front deck, mixed with the rain, and fogged the porthole again.
"How far to the port?"
"Sixty-seven nautical miles," the first mate shouted anxiously.
"Damn it, there are still almost two hours of sailing." Captain Brady grabbed the armrest, his face ashen. "When the storm is over, we will be drowned by a sea of complaints, and all our bonuses will be gone."
"It's all the damn Japan's fault. They issued a force seven wind forecast, but now the wind is a force nine, one day ahead of schedule."
"Captain, I think the situation seems to be a bit wrong. According to past experience, the waves rolled up by a force nine wind are only six to seven meters high, but the waves here have reached dozens of meters, reaching a force 7.5 wave. "
"You have to ask God."
"I only know that the building damage on board this time is more than a million dollars," Captain Brady replied.
Boom ~
Another huge wave came crashing down.
Just as Captain Brady was about to curse, the entire cruise ship suddenly shook. An abnormal and violent shaking sound came from the bottom of the ship.
The sound lasted for dozens of seconds, and when the vibration disappeared, everyone could clearly feel that the ship had slowed down.
"Captain ~ This is the engine room. Oh no, one of our power systems is broken. "
