Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

"Do you see it?" Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, and hard to endure until now, as the other party already perceived.

"In this matter of tea ceremony I think you do not need to be serious with Mr. Masamune he does not know anything about tea ceremony, he is just a half-toned Japanese," Genchiyo said lightly.

"Hell, I say the same thing about a Russian playing tea ceremony with us!" Lu Mingfei was the first to resist, "I want ice!"

"Because he'd love to turn himself into a Japanese man, fighting swords, tea ceremony, bowing, kendo and flower arrangement and all that," Genwesen turned and looked away, "All wanderers want to find a place they can call 'home', right? "

Sakura came in with a bucket of ice, Caesar and Chu Zhang also put aside their reserve and grabbed ice cubes, and swallowed them into their mouths, the burning pain in their mouths was only slightly relieved.

"It's just hot tea, it's not a big deal, so I'll continue and ask me if you have any questions." Genchiku returned to the table to point to the chart, "The site of the wreck of the Lenin is located directly above the Japan Trench. You may have heard of that trench, which is one with the Thousand Islands Trench, the Ogasawara Trench, and the Mariana Trench, which is an abyss in the ocean floor, thousands of kilometers long, and is geologically the dividing line between the Asian and European plates and the Pacific plate. The Pacific plate washes beneath the Asia-European plate, forming an extremely deep fissure at the junction. The deepest part of the trench is called the Tuscarora Abyss, with a depth of 8,513 meters."

"The Tuscarora Abyss was once considered the deepest in the world before the Fitchards Abyss in the Marianas Trench was determined to be the deepest in the world." Chu Zhang said vaguely with an ice cube in his mouth.

"Exactly, this submarine abyss, also known as the Polar Abyss, is the most mysterious area on Earth. Almost no one has ever arrived there, and so far our knowledge of the polar abyss is based more on speculation. Analysis of the sinking site suggests that the Lenin may be in the Tuscarora Abyss. The best tool for exploring the polar abyss is sonar, where we scan the depths of the abyss with sound waves of a specific frequency. The result is not a wreck, but a heartbeat signal. There was a creature, a huge creature, deep in the Tuscarora Abyss, and its heartbeat was strong and getting stronger."

Chu Zhang's face changed: "That should be a forbidden area for life."

"You mean there is a dragon type hiding in the extreme abyss?" Caesar said.

"A dragon embryo with an enhanced heartbeat means it is hatching."

"The secret cargo on the Lenin was a dragonlike embryo?"

"Yes. Back then Lenin passed through an unnamed port in Northern Siberia and took a precious dragon embryo with it, and then that port was destroyed in a fire. No one knows where the embryo was destined for, it could have ended up in Japan or it could have just passed through, but it failed to reach its destination and the embryo crashed into the depths of the trench. The embryo has been slowly hatching over the years, but we never noticed."

"If it's a dragon, it can probably endure the harsh environment in the Polar Abyss, right? For dragons, there is the best hatchery and refuge." Chu Zhang said, "The seawater is its protective layer."

"Exactly," Genchiyo said.

Lu Mingfei shivered. Being in this bustling city, the thought of a dragon 120 nautical miles away was quietly hatching at the bottom of the sea. The day it surfaces, the students and commuters on the streets will scatter in fear, and the world will be horrified at its dragon roar.

"Now that we know a dragon is hatching in the polar abyss," Caesar said, "then how about an underwater nuclear explosion that just flattens the abyss?"

If the psychopaths in the equipment department had been present at this meeting, they would have cheered Caesar, as the so-called psychopaths see it.

"If we throw nuclear bombs into the trench indiscriminately regardless, it may lead to continental shelf landslides and Japan will be affected, as well as tsunamis and nuclear pollution and other uncontrollable sequelae. We can only use precision blasting to remove the embryo, but it is difficult for us to lock the exact location of the embryo by sonar alone, so in this mission we will send a manned submersible deep into the bottom of the polar abyss to survey, and if we find the embryo, we will send a parcel bomb to it. The mission code name is 'Dragon Abyss' and you will travel to the Dragon's Abyss."

"Holy shit! Is this mission reliable? Didn't you just say that it was a forbidden area for life?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"It is indeed a forbidden area of life, if not, the level of the mission would not be 'ss'," Genchiyo said.

"I'm not talking to you about mission grading, I mean how do we three big living people dive to such a deep place? I had to take three breaks in a five-kilometer run, and you're asking me to dive eight kilometers? I'll be starving by halfway through the dive."
