Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 254
[Chapter 254 The Great Frost Rebellion]
Tirian’s narration finally came to an end, but in Duncan’s view, this weird story ended too hastily.
“Is everything over? Is it really over?” He couldn’t help looking at the big pirate opposite him through the mirror, with doubts in his tone, “A submersible, with a warehouse of explosives, ran to a thousand How much power can those explosives release at a depth of 1,000 meters to solve the deteriorating ‘out-of-control supernatural phenomenon’? Only from the analysis of the supernatural field, that kind of explosion has Is it possible to destroy a… supernatural phenomenon?”
“We can only think so,” Tirian was obviously not surprised by his father’s doubts, “in fact, no one knew what happened in the thousand-meter-deep water at that time, no one Knowing what the No. 4 submersible saw there, the only connection we have with the deep water is the part of the perception that the priest shared up through the psychic echo… A scream, a roar, and a roar, these tiny There are not many truths that can be pieced together from the fragments.
“And from the fact that after the explosion of the No. 4 submersible, no replica of the ‘No. 3 submersible’ has ever surfaced from the deep sea, so we can only think that …the matter is settled. “
The matter is resolved…” Duncan frowned and shook his head, “Well, let’s assume that the matter is resolved, then the Qianyuan Project…” “The Qianyuan Project
has not ended, and this is the worst part of the matter. “Tirion said bluntly, “Such a thing happened and we paid a huge price. We managed to solve the weird crisis of the No. 3 submersible. It stands to reason that we should really re-examine the diving plan and stop it in time. This is a dangerous project, but His Majesty Lei Nora resisted all opinions, not only announced that the plan will be restarted and the construction of the No. 5 submersible will be started, but even… the priority of the submersible project has been raised to the highest level, and for this reason, different people have been used. Ordinary manpower and material resources. “
Duncan’s eyes suddenly became deep, and he vaguely realized that the real “out of control” of this matter probably started from here. The “crime” of the Frost Queen, the rebellion half a century ago, All stem from this.
He looked into Tirian’s eyes: “It sounds like you didn’t support your queen at the time.” “
I had an argument with her, a very violent one, which is why I said I was at the depth of ‘a kilometer’ I no longer directly participated in the ‘Abyss Project’ – because after that, I felt that things were slipping in a dangerous direction,” Tirian said slowly, with a low voice, “but now that I think about it, I should have Do your best to stop the Frost Queen instead of avoiding her…I trust her too much to realize that she can make mistakes.” “
You think the Frost Queen did make mistakes?
” Frost caused a series of crises and gave the opponents an opportunity to take advantage of. This increasingly extreme exploration finally even killed His Majesty Le Nora. At least from this point of view, this is of course a mistake.”
“…After Ley Nora insisted on carrying out the Abyss Project, what happened?” “
After that, I no longer directly participated in this project. I don’t know much about it, but I only heard about it occasionally. Look, the plan is not going well, and… there are more and more weird and terrifying things, and they are getting more and more serious,” Tirian said calmly, “The No. 5 submersible has been completed, using the most advanced Engineering technology and tough materials, but its dive is always accompanied by various accidents, as if there is something in the dark, preventing humans from continuing to dive into the sea… “Some of the people involved in the project began to go crazy
, Someone was injured inexplicably, someone disappeared suddenly, and appeared in the city-state in a daze. The explorers who took the submersible became suspicious and irritable. They no longer looked like rigorous and respectable scholars and soldiers, but more and more eerie and weird Fanatics, even… It is said that even the ‘No. 5 submersible’ itself has undergone some incomprehensible changes during the dives, and its internal operation is more and more like some kind of…’ Living thing’.
“And the weirdest thing is that even though this series of changes has taken place, even if the atmosphere of the whole project is getting more and more terrifying, the Abyss Project is still advancing without hesitation. Those who participate in the project, those who are accompanied by madness and accidents all day long Yes, even those who have been traumatized frequently, none of them was timid to quit, and none of them had doubts and resistance to the orders of the higher-ups, giving people the feeling that…” Tirian was a little stuck, as if he couldn’t
find Appropriate words to describe the atmosphere of the year.
Seeing this, Duncan said softly, “It’s as if the deep sea is calling them.” “
Yes, it’s as if the deep sea is calling them.” Tirian was startled, nodded immediately, and then gave Duncan a strange look. “Very…precise description.”
“Don’t think too much, just continue.”
Tirian withdrew his gaze and organized his thoughts: “That’s it, the whole plan seems to be called and pushed by some force, even as if this The ‘plan’ itself has also produced a certain will, and it is persistently marching towards the deep sea, and those members who participated in the project have become cells in this huge will.” And it is in this atmosphere that diving No.
5 The device has crossed the depth of 1,000 meters without knowing it. I don’t know how deep it dived in the end. I only heard that…that is an astonishing number, very, very amazing, from the perspective of engineering and materials. , Judging from the technical level of the year…a number that was simply impossible to achieve.
“The deep sea has embraced the submersible project, the deep sea has accepted the No. 5 submersible, the increasingly weird machine and its increasingly weird crew members travel through the dark deep sea thousands of meters deep with ease as if returning home However, in the surrounding waters of the Abyss Project… weird events are gradually increasing.
” Merchant ships began to constantly observe ‘reflections’ that were exactly the same as their own ships appearing near the sea surface. Floating shadows that looked like ships and giant beasts, some…’strangers’ began to appear in the city-state, very, very many strangers, they gathered near the related facilities of the Abyss Project, and they all claimed to be part of the plan , and the number of these strangers even exceeds the actual number of participants in the Abyss Project.
“It was under such circumstances that rumors…in fact, they were no longer rumors, and rumors began to spread. At first, people just said that the Frost Queen was doing some suspicious research, but soon, the saying turned into Frost The queen is studying the subspace, and after that, it will become the Queen of Frost colluding with the subspace, and has formed a cooperation with the big boss in the subspace——Captain Duncan…” Tirian exhaled softly
, Open hand: “You will know what happened next, the Great Frost Rebellion that shocked the north.” The
small warehouse full of “antiques” fell into silence for a while, and Duncan’s voice finally eased after an unknown period of time It came out from the mirror slowly: “It’s understandable for people to associate this matter with the subspace, but it’s really too imaginative to associate it with the Lost Homeland.” “Actually, this is a very normal association.
This The associative process is even related to me,” Tirian smiled wryly and shook his head, “Who made me your son—and I happened to be loyal to the Frost Queen, and participated in this terrible project in the early stage. You should know, The imagination of conspiracy theorists has always been the strongest.”
Duncan was noncommittal, and after a short thought, he said: “If you look at it this way, I really don’t complain about the outbreak of the great rebellion. The abyss plan that Le Nora insisted on It’s too dangerous, and judging from Ni’s description… her mental state at the time was really not right.” “
This is exactly what I want to add a few more words,” Tirian said suddenly, “I know, all signs indicate that Han The Queen of Frost had lost her mind at the time, she was acting like a lunatic who was seduced by something, but I knew that she…was awake all the time, very conscious, very sane, and knew exactly what she was doing “
“Oh?”
“I had a dispute with her, but I am still her trusted general, and I can get close to her—in fact, other high-ranking officials of the city-state can, and they all know that the Queen has never been crazy. , and there is no conspiracy to destroy the city-state or threaten the world, yes, they know…but they are afraid, hesitate, and some have been bribed and bewitched, they are not as firm as me.
“But I know that perhaps other participants in the Abyss Project are gradually being affected by something, but she… obviously resisted this influence and is using it in reverse.” “You mean,
Han The Frost Queen actually had a clear and ‘safe’ plan, and she was sure of getting it done, but she didn’t tell anyone—not even explain it to you,” Duncan looked at Tirian thoughtfully, ” And you still trust her unconditionally? Because you believe that even if there is something threatening the city-state under the deep sea, everything is under the control of Le Nora?” “In your opinion, this kind of
trust should be too blind. “
“It’s up to you whether you’re blind or not,” Duncan shook his head, “I just want to say that the Frost Queen didn’t seem to be able to really let ‘everything is under control’—she died in the hands of the rebels in the end, lurking. Yuan’s plan was also completely buried, and things did not develop as she planned.” “
…I really can’t refute this.”
Tirian sighed helplessly.
