"What is underwater gliding?" Lu Mingfei couldn't understand what these people were talking about, every term was profound, and it happened that all these profound terms were related to his small life.

"The equipment department has retrofitted this deep submersible with stabilizer wings, similar to the wings of an airplane, which can do underwater cruising at 12 knots with the support of strong power, with the stabilizer wings providing lift, simply like an airplane flying in the sea."

"Is it necessary to be so advanced? But it can save lives, too! It's a dead end to fall into the trench anyway, so why not just trust the equipment department and bet that the nuclear power module won't blow up!"

Caesar gripped the yellow wrench tightly and shuddered slightly. There were two possibilities after pulling this wrench, either the Dirigiste would gain power and cruise through the deep sea like a light bird, or there would be a nuclear explosion and the three of them would be finished, and there might be a tsunami and an earthquake hitting Japan. If the wrench were in the hands of Lu Mingfei he would have wrecked, now this is the only way to go, Japan sink or not, and it is not his business. He was anxious to scratch his heart but too embarrassed to persuade Caesar to do such a heartless thing, can only stare at Caesar dumbfounded. Caesar's eyes sharp lips tense, hundreds of millions of people's lives in his hands. Life and death Caesar will have heavenly war, see his respect for innocent life, do not want to bring hundreds of millions of Japanese people involved. The education of the blue-blooded aristocrats is not the same.

He remembered that he had read a post on the Internet about "what does it mean to be a nobleman", saying that during the First World War, a young British baronet served as the first officer of a warship and was wounded by a German warship's row of guns. The German captain, who was also a nobleman, ordered to put down the lifeboats and put on the diving board to rescue the sailors on the British ship without saying a word. After all the sailors were rescued, the British marquis expressed his gratitude to the German captain but did not walk across the diving board, holding the noble family motto of sinking with his warship. With the high level of thinking Lu Mingfei can not catch up with the horse.

Lu Mingfei can't help it: "Boss if you can't get down to ruthlessness, bad things will be done by me!"

"What does it have to do with ruthlessness?" Caesar was stunned.

"Aren't you worried about the nuclear power module explosion causing an earthquake under the sea?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"No, I forgot the start-up code I set." Caesar tapped the keyboard, "No matter how you type it in, it's not right!"

Sake de Maa Yi's face down was fixed on the surface of the deep submersible, her feeling for the depth change is far more obvious than the three people in the deep submersible. The greater the depth the greater the water pressure, and eventually the pressure increased geometrically, and her entire body was pressed slightly into the metal shell of the deep submersible! The bloodline enhancement gave her a whole new verbal ability, if not for this new verbal ability, she would have been violently rubbed by the high pressure, first, the air in her lungs was squeezed to explode the alveoli, then the blood all over her body shot out through her skin, bones and flesh would have mixed into an unrecognizable mass of organic matter. During that deep dive challenging the Marianas Trench, the Dirigiste became a full 5 cm shorter because of high pressure.

The feeling of falling into the endless darkness was so terrifying that she would probably have cried out in fear if she hadn't relied on the potion to enhance her bloodline. This feeling reminded her of her first ninja training, the teacher took her to the edge of the cliff and said you jump, you jump and I'll teach you what you want to learn. But the teacher did not give her a safety rope or parachute, the cliff was a mist below she could not see anything. She thought she heard wrong and looked at the teacher dumbfounded. The teacher repeated you jump down, you jump down I will teach you what you want to learn, if you have so much determination to become a ninja, it is because you have a great desire. If this wish can not be big enough to make you give your life for it, then you better not learn this ancient technique.

Sakade Asahi then jumped, resolute. The safety net in the mist caught her, and she lay on that net staring blankly at the sky and smiling. The teacher said why are you laughing? Only one of the ten people who wanted to learn Ninjutsu dared to jump down, and that person would bawl in fear after finding out that he had passed the test and come back from the dead. Saccade Asahi said I thought nothing of it, I laughed just because it was comfortable to lie here, the clouds were flowing above and below me, and I looked up at the sky. After a moment of silence, the teacher said, it seems that your wish is even bigger than I thought, you will become an excellent ninja ...... but you will one day only die because of that huge wish.

Because with that big wish so fearless, dying for it is also not hesitant.

At this time there was a sudden light in front of her eyes.

The harsh sound of metal bending came from above the cockpit, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, followed by the feeling of super weight. Lu Mingfei was pinned to the seat, barely able to breathe. The feeling of weightlessness and super heaviness alternated, and the Diecast was braking step by step.

The depth gauge stopped at 7900 meters, and the Diecast was suspended with difficulty in the deep sea, tilting slightly sideways. The lights on the instrument panel flickered for a few moments and then suddenly went out, leaving the cockpit in darkness. The Trieste was like an old man, and the dense pipes were his veins. The old man had just run a marathon and his blood pressure was about to burst a blood vessel, but it held up after all.

All 3 men dropped wearily into their seats, filled with the joy of coming back from the dead. It wasn't clear what was going on, but it was clear that some kind of emergency plan had worked.

Caesar grabbed his flashlight and checked the dashboard, "Circuits and plumbing are still working, and the watertight compartment four is still working properly, true to form for a prototype."

"Your prototype almost killed us," Lumenfly gasped, "Speaking of which, how did we brake?"

"The safety hooks worked," came the voice of the child in the headset, "I remotely turned them on and used the safety cables to slow you down section by section, pulling you to a halt. Is the equipment still okay?"

"The circuitry and plumbing are fine, but the power is out," Caesar said.

"This is power failure protection, you guys check the systems, if it's okay you can manually restore power."

"There's a problem, the oxygen stock is down to 44%." Caesar said, "Hell, the air chamber is leaking, why is the oxygen stock drastically reduced?"

"Boss, come take a look, are those two things floating upward in our oxygen tanks?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the observation window above.

Illuminated by the "gas mine" in the field of vision, two spherical blue steel tanks slowly floated up, while slowly deflated. The steel walls of these deep-sea oxygen tanks are several centimeters thick, but still can not withstand the high pressure here, and finally turned into flat steel, oxygen escaped through the cracks. The steel sheet floated for a dozen meters and lost its buoyancy, and fell to the bottom. Lu Mingfei finally understood the so-called extreme high pressure, if the shell of the deep submersible collapsed, the three of them had only one way to die, they did not have the two oxygen tanks sturdy.

"That's half of our oxygen stock, the bolts holding the oxygen steel tanks must have broken during the vibration." Caesar muttered, "We'll be able to move underwater for another 50 minutes at best."
