Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

118: Suddenly appeared in the sea! Meet the three-masted ship again!”Oh?”

Zhang Meng was a little surprised.

”You know the other speculations too?”

”Ah!”

Wu Tian chuckled and nodded.

”After showering just now, I looked up a few things, and combining them with our experience on the Mary, I’ve put together a few more convincing theories.”

”...”

Zhang Meng rolled her eyes at Wu Tian.

Then, she slowly put away the tablet in her hand.

She said grumpily,

”Then you tell me.”

”I thought you hadn’t looked up anything at all! Good, you’re not like some people who just sit there picking their feet!”

”Anyone who didn’t know better would think he was embroidering flowers on his feet!”

”...”

The fatty suddenly looked up.

”Who?”

”Who’s embroidering flowers?”

Zhang Meng: ... Wu Tian: ... ”Ahem...”

Wu Tian coughed lightly, averted his gaze from the fatty, and after briefly organizing his thoughts, he spoke to everyone in a low voice.

”First, the magnetic field interference theory!”

Wu Tian held up a finger.

”This speculation should be true, because when we encountered danger on the Mary, the Dragon Country’s Maritime Detection Bureau had already explained the situation to us!”

”At the same time, the malfunctioning compass on the ship, as well as the bent knives and forks, also proved this theory!”

”However...”

Wu Tian frowned.

”When Professor Li Xiangzhe told me, he only said that the Mary was located exactly between two super magnetic fields. As for how these two super magnetic fields were formed and where they are, we don’t know.”

”We can only infer based on the Mary’s position at the time!”

”Gulp...”

As soon as Wu Tian finished speaking, the fatty directly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

”What do you mean?”

”Boss...”

”Are you saying we’re going to the place where these two super magnetic fields collide?”

”Isn’t that ridiculous?”

”Slap!”

Wu Tian slapped the fatty on the forehead.

”Are you stupid?”

”If we don’t find this place, why are we going to Bermuda?”

”To visit relatives?”

Fatty: ... ”You continue, the super magnetic field definitely exists, are there any other theories?”

Zhang Meng didn’t look at the fatty, she bit her finger and continued to ask.

”Hmm.”

Wu Tian nodded.

Then he continued.

”Next is the second theory...”

”Some say that there might be a huge dark hole at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle that crosses the entire American continent from the Atlantic side, all the way to the Pacific side!”

”And...”

Wu Tian said in a low voice.

”It is precisely because of such a huge dark hole that an enormous suction force is generated within the Bermuda Triangle!”

”Suction?”

Zhang Meng was startled.

”Are you talking about...”

”That huge underwater vortex?”

Wu Tian nodded, then shook his head.

”There’s another possible reason for the underwater vortex, I’ll explain it later.”

”As for the evidence for this dark hole, someone has provided it!”

”What?”

Zhang Meng was clearly surprised.

”Someone even provided evidence?”

”Hmm!”

Wu Tian nodded solemnly.

”Someone once discovered a large Pyramid in this triangular sea area, with a base length of about 300 meters and a height of about 200 meters. The Pyramid had several super large holes, through which seawater passed at high speed, creating turbulent waves and a misty sea surface!”

”Once passing ships enter this sea area, they might be ’sucked’ to the bottom of the sea!”

”Hiss...”

After hearing Wu Tian’s second theory.

Zhang Meng and the fatty both gasped simultaneously.

”So, this is very likely?”

The fatty said, counting on his fingers.

”First, a huge underwater vortex, second, a misty sea surface!”

”Doesn’t that just match up perfectly?”

”Could it be...”

”Is there really a Pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle?”

”...”

Wu Tian shook his head.

”I don’t know, I haven’t seen it anyway. Whether it really exists or not, we’ll have to go and see for ourselves!”

”See?”

Fatty: ... The fatty cautiously glanced at Wu Tian and Zhang Meng, then quietly withdrew from the conversation.

He gently slapped himself on the cheek.

As he slapped, he mumbled softly.

”Slap!”

”I really have a loose tongue...”

”Slap!”

”If I speak again, I’m a dog!”

”...”

Ignoring the fatty’s self-directed drama, Wu Tian brought up the third theory.

”This third theory is the closest to a scientific one.”

”It’s called the ’new methane bubble theory’!”

”What is the new methane bubble theory?”

Wu Tian paused, then continued.

”A geologist from the British Empire, Professor Crennell from the University of Leeds, proposed this new idea. He said...”

”The culprit behind the frequent shipwrecks and plane crashes in Bermuda is the huge methane bubbles produced on the seabed!”

”Someone discovered a crystalline substance at the bottom of Bermuda, a mixture of frozen water and methane. When violent low-level activity occurs on the seabed, blocks of this buried crystal are churned up.”

”Because the external pressure is reduced, these methane gases will rapidly vaporize!”

Wu Tian’s tone was low.

”It is precisely because of the vaporization of methane that the density of the seawater decreases directly, causing ships floating on top to sink like stones, without any buoyancy!”

”And...”

Wu Tian blinked.

”If, when the methane is rising, a plane happens to be passing overhead...”

”The engine’s flame comes into contact with the methane...”

”Boom!”

Wu Tian made an explosion gesture.

Zhang Meng and the fatty’s eyes widened.

”It just blew up like that?”

”Yes!”

Wu Tian nodded.

Then he narrowed his eyes and said,

”The above three theories are what I’ve gathered. The super magnetic field has been confirmed to exist, but whether the Pyramid and the water-methane mixed crystals exist, I don’t know.”

”However...”

”Currently, it seems very possible!”

”Hmm...”

Zhang Meng nodded.

Then she suddenly raised an eyebrow and abruptly asked Wu Tian beside her,

”Oh, right!”

”The causes of the various accidents in Bermuda should all be within the realm of science, right?”

”It won’t be like last time, with some supernatural phenomena happening again, will it?”

”...”

Wu Tian was startled.

Then he chuckled and assured Zhang Meng,

”Look at you...”

”What are you saying?”

”I’ve always emphasized that no matter what, we must believe in science. Science is the ladder of progress in this world!”

”Feudal superstitions are not advisable!”

”Demons and monsters are not to be trusted!”

”Oh?”

Zhang Meng rolled her eyes at Wu Tian.

”Then tell me, what were those things we encountered in the Peach Blossom Garden last time?”

”Those?”

Wu Tian chuckled.

”Those are all illusions, born from the heart!”

”Look at us now...”

”Nothing happened, right? Forget about it...”

Wu Tian waved his hand earnestly at Zhang Meng.

”We can’t let these things corrode our firm determination to explore!”

”That...”

Just as Wu Tian finished speaking.

The fatty beside him said weakly,

”Boss...”

”I’ve already been corroded, what should I do?”

”Can I quit?”

Wu Tian and Zhang Meng were startled, then they slowly turned their heads to look at the squirming fatty beside them. After a long moment.

Wu Tian narrowed his eyes and said,

”Ms. Zhang Meng, I think it’s very necessary to let this fatso know what team cohesion is!”

Zhang Meng also narrowed her eyes.

She cracked her knuckles.

”Then what are we waiting for?”

”...”

”Hey!”

The fatty’s terrified shouts came from the presidential suite.

”What are you doing?”

”You can’t use private punishment, hey...”

”Holy crap!”

”It hurts!”

”Boss!”

”You poked my lung!”

... The mixed doubles beatdown ended perfectly after both Wu Tian and Zhang Meng had achieved physical and mental pleasure.

That night.

The three of them enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by a five-star chef, drank some red wine, and had a comfortable night’s sleep.

The next day, when the first ray of sun rose from the east and shone through the window of the five-star hotel’s presidential suite onto Wu Tian’s face.

On the bedside table... Wu Tian’s exclusive phone rang!

”Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding, coco the ah ~ dianda, coco the two ~ dianda...”

”Bang!”

A groggy Wu Tian slapped his phone.

”Damn it...”

Wu Tian squinted, not even looking, and answered the phone.

”Damn it...”

”Who is it?”

”...”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Then came Hua Wuji’s booming angry curse.

”You little brat, who are you talking to?”

”Was that insult yesterday also directed at me?”

”...”

Wu Tian’s action of rubbing his eyes immediately stopped.

Then a shiver ran through his body.

He sprang out of bed, the grogginess from the hangover instantly vanished, and his irritable morning mood also disappeared in an instant!

”Ahem...”

He coughed lightly.

Wu Tian chuckled.

”Leader, what’s wrong?”

”When did I ever curse you?”

”Just say what you need, Little Wu is always online, ready for duty!”

”...”

”Hmph!”

Hua Wuji snorted coldly.

Then he nodded and continued to speak to Wu Tian on the phone.

”The Soaring Dragon vessel has arrived at the port of Miami. To ensure the smooth progress of this exploration mission, I have specially assigned more than a dozen scientists who specialize in Bermuda and marine geology to the Miami.”

”Little Wu...”

Hua Wuji’s voice was serious.

”The exploration can fail.”

”But you must protect these scientists. They are all the hope of our Dragon Country!”

”Of course...”

At this point.

Hua Wuji changed his tone.

”We still have great faith in your personal strength. While ensuring the completion of the mission, you must also take care of your own safety!”

”Go for it!”

Hua Wuji said somewhat sentimentally.

”The Dragon Country behind you will be a solid backing!”

”No matter what!”

”Our Dragon Country and its people will always stand by you.”

”Go for it!”

”No matter how big the trouble, our Dragon Country will be there to support you!”

”...”

”...Okay!”

Wu Tian was stunned!

Then a sudden surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart, as if the whole world was behind him and beneath his feet!

With such support, what did Wu Tian have to fear?

Even in front of the live broadcast camera.

He would dare to slap a foreign provocateur to death!

”Alright!”

Hua Wuji chuckled.

”I won’t say more. They’ve already arrived, so you take your people to pick them up. Do a good job, I have high hopes for you!”

”Okay!”

... Wu Tian hung up the phone, then knocked on Zhang Meng and the fatty’s rooms. After tidying up, he quietly took the two to the port of Miami.

It must be said... the American people’s adoration for heroes was truly fervent.

Yesterday, the Mary had already docked at Miami port, and Wu Tian and the other two had slept for a day in a five-star hotel.

A whole day and night had passed, and yet... there were still people waiting at Miami port, hoping to encounter Wu Tian and his companions!

And... these people actually did encounter them!

”Holy crap, isn’t that my big brother Wu Tian?”

”Hiss...”

”And my Miss Zhang Meng!”

”Wow!”

”That...”

”That’s the mascot in your and my hearts, little fatty Rice!”

”Holy crap, holy crap!”

”We finally staked them out!”

”Quick, I’m going to ask my Brother Tian for an autograph and a photo!”

”I want to hug Miss Zhang Meng, hiss... just thinking about it makes me happy!”

”Hmph!”

Suddenly, a man in the crowd, holding a phone, flicked an orchid finger and glanced disdainfully at the boisterous men around him.

He let out a cold snort.

”You disgusting men!”

”I wouldn’t want to be associated with you.”

”Me...”

”If I’m going to find someone, I’d find my dear Rice, sleep by him, and even my ten-pulls would all be SSS!”

”Pah!”

A tall, blonde beauty nearby scoffed, silently cursing him as a ’gay’, then pulled ten bank cards and two Maserati keys from her bag.

Twisting her slender waist,

and swinging her dazzlingly shapely long legs, she threw herself at Wu Tian as if her life depended on it.

As she lunged, she shouted,

”Tian Tian darling~”

”The first time I saw you, I had lustful thoughts, but don’t be scared, big sister here has a limit to her lust, and a method to her hooliganism!”

”Big sister isn’t cultured, big sister can’t speak well!”

”But...”

”Big sister loves you!”

”Give big sister a chance!”

...Thump!

As the blonde beauty’s words fell, Wu Tian, who was striding towards the port, stumbled. If it weren’t for Zhang Meng’s quick reflexes, Wu Tian would have made a fool of himself in public.

”Cough, cough...”

He coughed twice lightly.

Wu Tian straightened up, casting a hypocritical glance at those shapely and beautiful long legs.

He secretly swallowed.

However... when he looked up, he saw Zhang Meng’s eyes, glinting with murderous intent!

Instantly!

Meeting Zhang Meng’s murderous gaze, Wu Tian’s expression immediately became serious!

”Pah!”

”Who the hell are you insulting?”

”Ten bank cards and two Maseratis are enough to buy me, Wu Tian?”

”I think she’s a toad trying to eat swan meat!”

”Ugly on the outside, beautiful in her dreams!”

”Hmph hmph...”

Zhang Meng’s expression softened slightly. She turned her head to glare at the long-legged blonde beauty, who was being held back by security, then looked down at her own legs.

A surge of confidence immediately filled her!

She murmured softly,

”Isn’t it just long legs?”

”This old lady has them too!”

”...”

”No way...”

The fatty scratched his head, watching Wu Tian, whose figure was already fading into the distance as he rushed towards the port, and muttered softly,

”Why did the boss swallow again?”

”Is he thirsty?”

...”Holy cow, hahahaha, these Americans are too much. Just last week, our Dragon Country’s national vein tore off one of their wings, and now they’re fawning over my Brother Tian?”

”I have to say...”

”It’s not that Americans have soft bones, it’s that my Brother Tian is too hard! (Witty)”

”Upstairs, you’re not right!”

”Hiss...”

”What are you all talking about?”

”Did none of you see that long-legged blonde sister just now?”

”Holy cow!”

”Ten bank cards, two Maseratis!”

”Damn...”

”My stomach isn’t good, I want something soft to eat!”

”Forget it!”

”You’ll eat nothing, you’re suited to starve to death!”

”...”

Amidst the ’friendly’ exchange in the bullet comments,

Wu Tian and the two others, welcomed by the crew of the Soaring Dragon vessel, boarded the Deck of the warship!

The Dragon Country’s support for Wu Tian this time was an all-out effort, providing all relevant resources: the ’Soaring Dragon vessel’ amphibious small warship, pressure-resistant diving suits, and precision instruments capable of resisting the effects of super magnetic fields!

And... oceanography experts, physics experts, and marine geology experts, all considered national treasures in the Dragon Country!

Plus Wu Tian and his two companions!

The world’s most luxurious exploration team was instantly formed!

It’s no exaggeration to say that if even Wu Tian and his team couldn’t explore Bermuda, then the mysterious veil over Bermuda would never be lifted by anyone!

...”Oh?”

”You must be young Wu, right?”

”This is young Zhang, I know him, haha. Strictly speaking, Dr. Li Xiangzhe is still my mentor!”

”And this must be Mr. Rice, right?”

”Haha...”

”You are truly a lucky general!”

”...”

A middle-aged man, roughly forty or fifty years old, immediately came forward.

Smiling slightly, he extended his hand to Wu Tian and his two companions.

It must be said... although he worked in a research institution, this middle-aged man’s emotional intelligence was truly exceptionally high, and his social skills were excellent.

With just a few words upon meeting, he immediately won over Zhang Meng and the fatty.

”Haha, yes, Dr. Zhang!”

”You came so early?”

Zhang Meng nodded and shook hands with the latter.

The fatty beside him gave a simple, honest smile.

”Haha...”

”Dr. Zhang, you flatter me!”

”I’m just an ordinary person, I can’t be called a lucky general, haha...”

”...”

Wu Tian nodded at the latter, extending his hand and shaking it gently.

From the small tag on his chest, Wu Tian then learned that this person was a marine geologist and ship expert, and the official representative for this exploration.

His name was Zhang Haiyang.

”Dr. Zhang!”

”A pleasure to meet you!”

”Good!”

Zhang Haiyang held Wu Tian’s hand with one hand.

With the other, he patted the back of Wu Tian’s hand firmly.

He looked at the latter with great satisfaction and said,

”Excellent!”

”To have achieved so much at such a young age, it’s no exaggeration to call you a hero of our Dragon Country. Truly young and promising!”

”Haha...”

Wu Tian smiled faintly.

”Dr. Zhang, you jest.”

Friendly reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your ’Bookshelf’ and ’Reading History’ in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!

”This is all due to the support of the country.”

”Shall we...”

”first get acquainted with our colleagues for this trip and let me get familiar with the environment?”

”Oh?”

Zhang Haiyang was startled.

Then he slapped his forehead.

”Look at me, come on, come on!”

”Come with me, I’ll show you around this ’Soaring Dragon vessel’, our country’s latest special-grade small military ship!”

”Alright!”

Wu Tian nodded, leading Zhang Meng and the other behind Zhang Haiyang.

Currently... a gleam flashed in Wu Tian’s eyes.

This Zhang Haiyang was a person with both emotional and intellectual intelligence, high in both. If he were the one coordinating the work with him... it would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble... The Soaring Dragon vessel truly lived up to its name as a special-grade small military ship, newly developed with the returning luck of the Dragon Country.

Kitchen, entertainment room, gym, dining room... even though it was called a small warship, none of these basic facilities were missing.

And they were exceptionally refined.

And in terms of hardware,

most of the precision instruments were made of titanium alloy, and some dashboards even had large amounts of gold and silver added to them to maintain stability in extreme conditions.

As Zhang Haiyang led Wu Tian and the others on a tour, they finally arrived at the main control room of the warship amidst a chorus of exclamations from the bullet comments.

”...”

As it was an amphibious warship,

the door leading to the main control room was a pressure-tight airlock.

”This is it!”

”Just a moment...”

Zhang Haiyang turned his head and smiled at the three.

Then, he quickly rotated the rotary handle on the door. As a burst of white steam, with a somewhat sci-fi feel, gushed out from all sides of the huge airtight door, a spacious control room appeared before the three.

”Here...”

Zhang Haiyang led the three directly to the center of the main control room, pointing to a real-time updated map above, and said to the three,

”This is a super anti-magnetic field detector!”

”It’s the most expensive part of the entire ship!”

”Hiss...”

”Most expensive?”

The fatty was stunned.

He asked subconsciously,

”How expensive can it be?”

”Well, this detector is entirely made of superconductors. Conservatively speaking...”

Zhang Haiyang smiled and held up five fingers to the fatty, then added,

”Billion!”

”Euros!”

”...”

”Holy cow!”

The fatty gasped, instinctively backing several meters away from the detector.

He was still muttering in an unmanly way,

”This thing is too expensive, I need to stay away from it. If I break it, I can’t afford to pay!”

”Haha...”

Zhang Haiyang looked at the fatty amusedly, then explained with a smile,

”Little brother Rice, don’t be afraid, this can’t be broken!”

”Don’t worry!”

”...”

Clang, clang... Suddenly!

Just as Zhang Haiyang was joking with the fatty, Wu Tian, with a serious expression, tapped the detector screen and then pointed to a spot on the map that was flashing red light.

”Dr. Zhang...”

”Where is this?”

”Oh?”

Zhang Haiyang was startled, then lowered his head to look in the direction Wu Tian was pointing.

He then smiled slightly.

”You mean here?”

”This is where the Mary, which you were on, had an accident in Bermuda the day before yesterday.”

”We’ve already marked that location!”

”This is to prepare for the next trip!”

”Hmm!”

Wu Tian nodded. Besides the advanced equipment, the quality of the people here was also impeccable. The problem he had been considering was directly resolved.

”Then...”

”Shall we depart?”

Wu Tian smiled slightly at Zhang Haiyang.

”Depart!”

Zhang Haiyang was clearly also impatient, nodding directly and pressing a button on the control panel.

”Vroom!”

A loud roar of the engine starting to run at high speed sounded, and the Soaring Dragon vessel slowly began to move!

It autonomously navigated... rapidly sailing towards the location where the Mary had encountered trouble in the Bermuda Triangle before!

...An hour later...

On the clear and bright sea, a silver-white warship, less than a hundred meters long and about twelve meters wide, cut through the waves.

With a spray of water!

The Soaring Dragon vessel, a special-grade warship, came to a steady stop in this sea area.

The group stood expectantly on the Deck... waiting for the white mist to rise!

However!

Ten minutes passed... twenty minutes passed... an hour passed!

Even after everyone on the Deck grew impatient, and Wu Tian’s brows were tightly furrowed, the entire Bermuda Triangle sea area remained calm, clear, and bright!

Not only did the white mist not rise as expected,

but the scorching sun in the sky... almost roasted the fatty’s oil out of him!

”Boss...”

”What’s going on?”

”Why is there no reaction?”

The fatty fanned himself,

and anxiously asked Wu Tian beside him.

”...”

Wu Tian didn’t answer. He looked at the clearly visible sea level not far away, his eyes flashing with light.

He continuously thought about all the information he had received earlier.

A day ago... this exact location had shown two perfectly precise super magnetic field confrontation points.

There had also been a huge whirlpool on the sea surface, and... a large amount of white mist.

But why, after just one day, was there nothing when they returned here?

Could the underground Pyramid move on its own?

No... Wu Tian’s brows furrowed even deeper!

The Pyramid was inanimate, how could it move?

Then... Suddenly!

A strange and bizarre idea appeared in Wu Tian’s mind. His eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to ask the puzzled Zhang Haiyang,

”Dr. Zhang, I have a question I’d like to ask you!”

”...”

”Go ahead.”

Zhang Haiyang was startled.

He forced a faint smile onto his face.

”Dr. Li Xiangzhe told me earlier that the location where the Mary was situated happened to be the junction of two super magnetic fields. So...”

”Why has it disappeared now?”

Wu Tian’s eyes darted around.

”I want to ask.”

”These two super magnetic fields...”

”Do they... move on their own?!”

...”Whoosh!”

One word stirred up a thousand waves!

As Wu Tian finished speaking, the scientists, who had been quietly listening to Wu Tian and Zhang Haiyang’s conversation on the Deck, immediately had their eyes light up.

One physicist, who had specialized in researching the Bermuda, even rushed excitedly to Wu Tian’s side.

”Little Wu!”

”Are you talking about...”

”’The Meteorite Hypothesis’?”

”...”

Wu Tian was stunned.

He then nodded, surprised that these scientists had also heard of the ’Meteorite Hypothesis’ which he had once considered to be nonsense.

”Yes!”

Wu Tian nodded.

”It’s ’The Meteorite Hypothesis’!”

With that, Wu Tian began to explain to everyone... The ’Meteorite Hypothesis’ was actually proposed by a famous American space scientist, but when it was first put forward, no one believed it.

They even called it speculation!

Without any scientific basis!

A disgrace to scientists!

However... if the events of the past two days were combined with this hypothesis, there were indeed reasonable aspects!

Firstly, in ’The Meteorite Hypothesis,’ this space scientist pointed out that in the 16th century, three giant meteorites fell from space!

They happened to land in what is now the Bermuda Triangle!

These three enormous meteorites collided violently with the seabed!

The impact generated energy akin to a nuclear explosion!

Subsequently... these three meteorites exhausted all their energy in the massive collision, and then they began a peculiar ’implosion’ phenomenon!

Which is... a black hole!

From then on!

Any ships and planes passing through here were mercilessly sucked into the black holes formed by these three meteorites.

Moreover... besides possessing immense suction!

These three meteorites were like three giant magnets, approximately thirty miles in diameter, slowly rolling on the seabed!

The magnetic force generated by such meteorites... such large magnets, was immeasurable; anything passing above them would be affected, artificial machines would all malfunction, and even people’s minds would become muddled!

This... was ’The Meteorite Hypothesis’!

”...”

After explaining ’The Meteorite Hypothesis,’ when Wu Tian’s voice faded, the entire Deck, filled with researchers, fell into a profound silence.

After a long while... Zhang Haiyang was the first to snap back to reality.

”This...”

”The Meteorite Hypothesis?”

”Does that mean there are three giant meteorites on the seabed, which collapsed into three black holes, and then...”

”They generate immense magnetic force and are constantly moving on the seabed?”

”Yes!”

Wu Tian nodded.

But then, he also frowned.

”Considering the current situation, this conjecture is likely very close to the truth, but...”

”Here comes the problem!”

”The meteorites have moved, so how do we find the point of confrontation for the super magnetic field?”

”...”

”Hehe...”

Suddenly!

The physicist who had just spoken chuckled and said to Wu Tian with great confidence.

”That’s simple!”

”Because I anticipated the impact of magnetic fields, before coming, I specifically applied for two magnetic generators, haha...”

The physicist’s expression was filled with pride!

”With them!”

”Finding the point of confrontation between these two super magnetic fields will be a piece of cake, won’t it?”

”...”

”Really?”

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he looked at the latter.

”You really brought them?”

”Oh, come on!”

The physicist smiled slightly.

”Is this a joke?”

”Little Guo ~”

The physicist immediately called out to an assistant waiting behind him.

”Let’s go!”

”Take us to see the two magnetic generators we have on the Deck!”

”Alright!”

Little Guo was also excited!

Leading the usually awe-inspiring big shots, they majestically walked towards the magnetic generators on the other side of the Deck... ”Bang bang!”

On the other side of the Deck, physicist Zhang Zhongyun reached out and patted two huge blue machines heavily, proudly saying to the crowd behind him.

”These...”

”Are the magnetic generators!”

”Once they start running, they will resonate with those three enormous magnetic fields!”

”At that time...”

Zhang Zhongyun chuckled.

”We will be able to use the guidance of the magnetic force to find the point of magnetic confrontation of these three meteorites!”

”Good!”

Wu Tian nodded.

Then, he excitedly rubbed his hands towards Zhang Zhongyun.

”Then...”

”Shall we get these two mighty beasts moving?”

”Move!”

Zhang Zhongyun chuckled!

”Get them moving!”

”However...”

After a laugh, Zhang Zhongyun slowly reined in the smile on his face.

He spoke loudly to everyone behind him.

”Except for the operators, it’s best for everyone else to hide inside the cabin.”

At this point.

Zhang Zhongyun’s expression was solemn.

”Everyone should know the effects of magnetic force on humans; excessive magnetic force can make people dizzy, faint, and agitated!”

”In severe cases, it might even lead to significant mental problems in the human body.”

”Let alone the three enormous super magnetic fields that might appear, even the immense magnetic force generated by these two machines when they operate is something ordinary people cannot withstand!”

”And there are only eight protective suits!”

”Four people operating, and I’ll supervise from the side.”

”...”

Zhang Zhongyun glanced at Wu Tian and the other two.

”As for the remaining three sets, they will be given to them, and they will protect our safety!”

”And!”

”...”

Zhang Zhongyun’s voice was loud and full of vigor!

Now that he understood the importance of the task ahead, Zhang Zhongyun unhesitatingly took charge of the command.

He quickly directed the crowd!

”The rest of you, each to your posts, ensure the Soaring Dragon vessel operates normally!”

”Smooth sailing!”

”Any problems?”

”...”

”No problem!”

”No problem!”

”...”

Everyone agreed in unison without hesitation, then quickly returned to their posts under the leadership of their respective department heads!

The entire Soaring Dragon vessel-class warship!

With everyone’s efforts... safely and steadily anchored itself in the sea!

”...Alright!”

A few minutes later, as everyone disappeared from the Deck.

Zhang Zhongyun handed the eight strong magnetic protective suits brought by his assistant to everyone present, and they silently put them on the Deck.

Suddenly!

”Uh...”

”That...”

The fatty scratched his head somewhat sheepishly and said to everyone.

”Is there a larger protective suit...?”

”This one of mine... this...”

”I can’t put it on!”

”...”

Wu Tian and the others were stunned, then looked speechlessly at the fatty, who was half-dressed, unable to pull it up or take it off.

Everyone’s faces were filled with bewilderment.

”Uh...”

After a long while, Wu Tian covered his head and said.

”Forget it!”

”If you can’t put it on, then don’t!”

”You go back to the cabin.”

”If the problem isn’t too big later, and we need you, then come out!”

”But...”

Although he usually grumbled with negative words like ’not going’ or ’not doing it,’ when the moment actually arrived for the fatty to get his wish and return to the cabin.

He was almost in tears.

”You guys...”

”You’re all up here, what am I doing going down?”

”...”

”Alright!”

Wu Tian smiled faintly at the latter.

A warm current flowed through his heart.

He said softly to the latter.

”Go down!”

”Your clothes are really too small, there’s nothing to be done.”

”Just stay down there.”

”Help us observe the sea surface, that would also be very helpful!”

”But...”

The fatty looked at Wu Tian and Zhang Meng, still somewhat unwilling.

”Go!”

Wu Tian waved his hand.

”The machines are about to start running, if you don’t go now, you won’t be able to!”

”...”

”Alright!”

The fatty could only nod, then turned and left the Deck, ducking into the cabin... And as this interlude with the fatty ended, all the professional personnel, including Dr. Zhang Zhongyun, were also ready!

Zhang Zhongyun, wearing his helmet, gave Wu Tian an ’OK’ gesture.

Wu Tian also smiled.

And gave the latter an ’OK’ gesture back!

Then... ”Buzz!”

With a trembling hum of the engine, the two giant magnetic generators quickly began to operate!

”Rumble...”

”Rumble rumble...”

”...”

The rotors spun faster and faster.

As a strange sensation arose around everyone.

Everyone, including Wu Tian, felt a force that was slowly but steadily increasing, acting upon them, as if... it was slowly lifting everyone upwards!

”...”

”It’s moving!”

Zhang Zhongyun, beneath his helmet, was excited, shouting loudly with a muffled voice.

”The magnetic field...”

”I feel the magnetic field!”

”...”

And as Zhang Zhongyun’s excited voice rang out, on the sea surface... a hazy white mist appeared once again!

Like a giant hand... slowly, it enveloped the solitary ship on the boundless ocean!

”It’s getting foggy!”

Wu Tian said in a deep voice to Zhang Meng beside him.

”Be careful...”

”I’m going to check the ship’s rail!”

”Okay...”

Zhang Meng nodded; even facing such a scene for the second time, her heart was still filled with intense panic and fear.

Watching Wu Tian’s figure gradually recede into the thickening fog, Zhang Meng clenched her fists.

After a moment of hesitation.

She also started walking, heading in the direction of the latter!

...Whoosh... The salty, damp mist continuously hit Wu Tian’s helmet; he had to wipe away the moisture on his helmet with his hand almost every minute.

By the time he fumbled his way to the ship’s rail.

The fog had become so dense that visibility within ten meters was completely gone!

However... in such a situation!

Splash... The sound of waves breaking came!

A huge dark shadow, as if by appointment, appeared punctually on the sea surface a hundred meters away, presenting a pitch-black outline within the hazy white mist!

Even... because of the closer distance this time.

Wu Tian faintly heard someone’s whispered voices coming from that black ship.

”This damn weather, why is it foggy again?”

”Sigh...”

”I’m an old man now, I always feel uncomfortable when it gets foggy...”

”Kid!”

”Come rub me!”

”Preferably...”

”Give me a good scrape, these old bones are practically moldy!”
