The atmosphere in the watertight cabin was a bit stagnant, and he thought he should say something to improve the damn atmosphere.

"What?" Caesar's hand holding the cigar shook and he said blankly, "Haven't we already landed on the moon?"

"If you have taken geophysics classes seriously, you will know that the earth is divided into three parts: the crust, the mantle, and the core. All human activities currently stop at the crust." Yuan Zhidan took over the topic.

Caesar and Chu Zihang immediately looked at him with strange eyes.

Any high school student knows this knowledge about the earth's crust, mantle, and core, but Yuan Zhisheng mentioned the geophysics class, which is as difficult as hell.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at them coldly with disdainful eyes: "I am your senior. I am in the advanced training class. I completed the four-year university course in just one year. Unlike some of you, who

Failed the class every year.”

Caesar tilted his head guiltily.

Chu Zihang couldn't help but show respect. He knew very well the value of the four-year course at Kassel College. His original plan was to complete all his studies in two years and graduate early to join the executive department.

Yuan Zhisheng completed all his studies in just one year, which is enough to prove his excellence.

"During the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union once conducted an experiment. You should have heard of it." Chu Zihang said in a low voice.

"Dig through the earth? The gate to hell?" Caesar shrugged and said that he had indeed heard of it, but knew very little about it.

"This plan lasted until 1992, and the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, and finally stopped at a depth of 12,262 meters." Chu Zihang said softly, "Finally, the Russian military's Northern Fleet took over the Kola Peninsula, and the 12,262-meter-deep

The drill hole was also completely sealed by the military with a 12-ton steel manhole cover."

The watertight cabin suddenly fell silent.

Caesar confirmed in a low voice: "Northern Fleet?"

The target of their trip, the Lenin, once belonged to the Northern Fleet!

"The Lenin was the Northern Fleet that left at the end of 1991, and the Northern Fleet took over Hell's Gate in 1992." Chu Zihang said quietly, "I also accidentally discovered it last night. Although it is not enough to explain anything, I am afraid that Russia has transferred from the former Soviet Union

I inherited many secrets in my hands."

Yuan Zhisheng frowned and said: "In the irresponsible gossip, scientists at that time collected human-like roars from under the gate of hell. They suspected that they had opened the door to hell, and finally closed the project.

"

"What do you suspect is down there?" asked Caesar.

"I don't know." Chu Zihang said calmly, "Maybe only by really going down can we discover the secrets buried underneath."

"There may be an ancient city down there." Yuan Zhisheng said suddenly.

Facing the two people who were looking at him at the same time, Yuan Zhisheng said with an unchanged expression: "In the ancient city of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan has left almost no relics in this world. This is unreasonable. The only explanation is that those relics are hidden in places where humans cannot reach them.

field of."

"Like under the deep sea?" Caesar smoked a cigar and squinted his eyes.

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Since there may be an ancient dragon city twelve thousand meters underground, it makes sense that there is also an ancient dragon city buried eight thousand meters deep in the sea."

Silence returned to the watertight cabin.

…

…

Schneider sat in the middle of the hall.

Norma presented different images in the form of holographic projections around the location, the results of sonar scans, the underwater videos taken by the Trieste, the weather conditions in the Japanese waters... all the information was gathered in front of Schneider.

Tonight Schneider was firmly in control of Sumeru, Moniach and Trieste.

The direct transoceanic connection between the Norma system and the Kaguya Princess system made him feel like he was physically present at the scene.

The black card provided by Manstein gave him 100% permission to call Norma's resources.

Manstein had no intention of helping. He was a clerical worker, specializing in meetings, speeches and writing reports.

Now he is sitting on the table in the corner writing furiously.

"What are you writing?" Schneider didn't even look up.

"A debriefing report shows that I am not disobeying the order of the school board, but standing on the standpoint of the Discipline Committee. After good communication with the executive department, I believe that stopping the Yongyuan Project at this time is not in compliance with the relevant regulations of the college.

." Manstein didn't even raise his head, "I know you don't understand what I'm saying now, and you don't need to understand it. This is a matter for our civilian staff."

"Is this how you deal with Frost? Is Frost so stupid?" Schneider was curious.

"I didn't say I was talking to Frost," Manstein raised his head. "The person who sent me is Pompeii Gattuso, the head of the Gattuso family."

"Pompei?" Schneider was a little surprised. "Isn't he the one who donated the Trieste to support us? Did he regret it after donating the deep submersible?"

"No, it was Frost who parachuted a team at the snowy mountain pass in order to stop the Longyuan Plan, and rode horses to Pompeii's ancient spiritual temple to pick him up. Basically, it can be seen that Frost forcibly hijacked Pompeii and demanded that he must

Come forward to stop Long Yuan’s plan.”

"I understand. But why did Pompeii name you?"

Manstein thought for a while and said: "I feel that he does not want to stop this plan. His purpose is more to let me hand this black card into your hands."

Schneider frowned.

The black card in Pompeo's hand and the black card in the principal's hand allow him to fully mobilize Norma's functions.

"I have always had a feeling," Schneider thought for a long time and whispered, "Pompei knows something. He may know what is in the depths of the Abyss, so he hopes that we will send people to dive into the Japanese Trench, even if it takes his

He is also willing to take risks as his biological son."

"...Why do you think so?"

"Because his behavior trajectory is too questionable." Schneider said quietly, "Whether it was proactively donating the deep submersible in advance, or when I expressed that we might include Caesar in the diving team, Pompeo was very happy that his son had

Opportunity to fly his collection on a mission and ask for it to be painted like a Japanese flag is all too questionable."

"you mean?"

"If the relationship between Pompeii and Caesar were reversed, I can still suspect that my son has disliked me for occupying the position for too long and wants to remove me. But for everything now, I can only suspect that Pompeii felt that it was safe to dive.

He might even get some kind of benefit, so he has no objection to Caesar going to sea!"
