Chapter 291

Ivan opened his eyes and looked at the huge inverted pyramids and their reflection in the water. Even though he had been at sea for many years and experienced the most violent wind and rain, he had never seen such a spectacle.

"What the hell is that?"

Boris was also shocked. His cigar finally fell on the deck, but he couldn't care about it any more.

"Go back to the cabin," said stone.

Ivan immediately realized that this was not a good thing. As the captain, he shouted, "go back to the cabin, come on!"

Although reluctant to take back their eyes from the shocking scene, the well-trained veterans obeyed the order and left the deck in turn very quickly and entered the submarine cabin.

Ivan waited for stone to go down before he got off the boat and covered the hatch.

Boris still couldn't help asking, "Mr. stone, what the hell is that? Isn't it the alien Star Destroyer attacking the earth?"

His question is also the question of all the crew.

Instead of going back to his lounge, stone entered the command cabin with the others. He smiled and said to Boris, "what if you guessed right?"

"Oh, then fuck it! Shoot it in the ass with a torpedo!"

"I said Boris, how do you know aliens have ass? Have you ever done it!"

Everyone in the cabin laughed.

Boris was also amused, smiled and said, "if you don't have an ass, do something else, they should have a hole or something!"

Stone looked at them joking and was very satisfied. He said he was worthy of being a veteran of Jiuli maritime. He could remain optimistic in such a situation. Of course, the money he just transferred to them using satellite networks on the sea also played a key role. These people risked their lives to go to sea just to make some money and let their families live a good life?

However, jokes are jokes, and no one is really fooling around there. Everyone is doing their own work in their respective posts. Some stared at the instrument, some at the periscope, and some tested the power of the submarine, but their faces looked very relaxed, not like facing a great enemy.

Ivan carefully checked the work of each post and listened to their report. He is a strict man. Others can joke freely. He can't. These people are called by him. Although he knows that everyone is not afraid of death, he has the responsibility to protect everyone and had better go back alive. This is what he prays every time he goes out of work.

Soon, the crew who had been observing the periscope reported: "Ivan, we seem to be surrounded by those ghosts."

Ivan looked at Stone: "sir..."

Stone waved to him and said, "the task is over. What's left is how to go back. Now you're the commander and everything is up to you."

Ivan nodded and immediately ordered the other crew: "turn on all active sonar and magnetic detection equipment."

"Report that the sonar equipment is normal and can't detect the existence of those things."

"Report, magnetic detection is in progress and magnetic interference is found."

"Determine the position and go through their gap."

……

"Report, there is magnetic interference everywhere, and magnetic detection cannot locate accurately."

Ivan pushed away the sailor who was observing the periscope, put his eyes close to the observation port, and then ordered, "left rudder 25, forward three."

"Yes, left rudder 25, forward three."

The submarine swayed slightly and turned towards the sea. Ivan could see from the periscope that the submarine was moving towards the gap between the two inverted pyramids.

However, with the action of the submarine, those things like inverted icebergs also rotate and change mistily.

Fark! Ivan scolded in his heart.

"Slow down, right rudder five, advance one."

"Yes, slow down, right rudder five, advance one."

……

"Keep heading and advance two."

"Yes, keep heading and advance two."

Ivan has been directing the submarine's progress by naked eye observation, which requires very rich maritime experience, otherwise he may collide with the things in front. He didn't know what would happen if he hit it.

Although those things cannot be detected by sonar, there is only magnetic interference. Theoretically, they are not real objects. At most, they may make the submarine's electronic equipment fail. But he doesn't want to take risks. In case something unpredictable happens, or even if the electronic equipment fails, if it can't be repaired properly, the submarine is unlikely to go back in the vast Pacific Ocean.

However, things did not go so well. These inverted pyramids are not only moving, making it difficult to locate accurately, but more importantly, their number is also difficult to judge. Ivan couldn't see the distance just now. Now he was a little closer. He found that even if he crossed between the two pyramids, there were many shadows behind, as if there were countless pyramids.

He adjusted the angle of the periscope and looked at the top of the towers. It was about 400 to 500 feet high. Because it was upside down, the flush upper part looked like a line.

"Ready to dive," he ordered.

"Yes, prepare to dive."

"Six hundred feet deep."

"Yes, diving."

"A hundred feet."

"Two hundred feet."

……

"Six hundred feet."

Ivan left the periscope. At this depth, he could see nothing in the periscope. Submarines can only rely on electronic equipment underwater.

"What about sonar and magnetic detection?"

"Report, sonar is all right."

"Report, the magnetic interference is still there, and those things are still there."

"Continue to dive."

"Yes, continue to dive, 650 feet... 700 feet..."

"How's it going?"

"Report, no change."

"Continue to dive."

"Yes, continue to dive, 750 feet... 800 feet..."

Ivan asked again. The magnetic detection showed that the things were still around them.

"Continue to dive."

"If we dive again, we'll reach the limit depth," a veteran warned. "The guy we're riding is as old as my father and may not be able to bear it."

Ivan didn't know, but he checked the submarine and maintained it very well. He didn't have a big problem with the ultimate depth. What he worried about is that diving is the same result. What's the difference between 900 feet and 800 feet? He even suspected that even if they could dive to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, those things would still be there.

He was cruel and ordered, "dive."

"Yes, dive."

The submarine soon reached its limit depth, but as expected, judging from the magnetic interference, those things did not disappear.

Ivan was silent. Everyone looked at him. 900 feet of deep-sea pressure seemed to come in through the bulkhead, and the command cabin looked depressed and dull.

"Fuck it, just hit it. Maybe there's nothing!" Boris couldn't help but say. Seeing that Ivan was still thinking, he yelled, "I said Ivan, when did you become such a bear?"

Ivan ignored him, but looked at Arthur stone and said, "Mr. stone, don't you have anything to say to us?"
