Chapter 174 Whirlpool
Gu Ming's chariot spent several days to travel around the entire country of Honko, but he was unlucky and did not find a meteorite. When he encountered several gangs of robbers who blocked the road, Gu Ming sent them to see God.
The chariot entered the sea from the former site of the Fushima Nuclear Power Plant in Honko. Gu Ming planned to go deep into the Pacific Ocean and try his luck for a few days to see if he could find a meteorite. If he could find a huge meteorite in the Pacific Ocean, he might be able to collect 10 million energy points at one time.
Gu Ming's previous guess that there were countless mutant beasts in the ocean was correct. However, on the first day, he encountered countless mutant fish of various types. The smallest ones were several meters long, and most of them were tens of meters long. He encountered large mutant beasts of hundreds of meters several times. It felt like he had fallen into a world of giants all of a sudden.
Gu Ming's nuclear submarine could not afford to provoke many large mutant beasts, so he could only speed up to avoid them.
Many creatures in the ocean originally had their own unique skills. Now after evolution, not only have their bodies become larger, but their unique skills seem to have evolved into superpowers, giving people a very fantastic feeling.
For example, the longest creatures like electric eels are two or three meters long, and they can discharge 800 volts before the end of the world. Now Gu Ming encountered an electric eel that was more than 30 meters long. Its means of attack was still to discharge electricity on the outer shell of the nuclear submarine. The voltage collected by Pangu was 1,000 kilovolts, which is ultra-high voltage. This is very scary.
If it weren't for the nuclear submarines like Gu Ming, which have been leading the world for many years, even the most advanced nuclear submarines in the United States would be destroyed by the electric shock of the whole submarine.
Although he was not afraid of its voltage, Gu Ming still let the nuclear submarines speed up to escape. Anyway, they would dodge when they encountered creatures over 100 meters in size. Some of them were not defeated, but it was not cost-effective. Even if they were killed, their bodies were blown to pieces by the fish lei. Even if Gu Ming wanted to eat the mutant fish meat, he couldn't eat it.
The climate on the ocean is unpredictable. Sometimes when the nuclear submarine floats to the surface, you can see thunder and lightning in the sky, which strikes down from the sky recklessly in the dark. The only thing that can be seen in the whole world is the light of lightning. Sometimes you can see a huge blizzard, and the falling snowflakes seem to freeze the ocean.
Gu Ming guessed that when the oceans on Earth were frozen, it would be the real ice age. At that time, the Earth would look like a snowball when viewed from outer space.
"2998, 2999, 3000."
With his upper body naked, his muscles were like an assembly line, which made people know that he had strong explosive power. He was wearing shorts on his lower body. Gu Ming was doing his daily exercise - push-ups.
Three thousand push-ups were just an appetizer before exercise. This was the training room inside the submarine. There were all kinds of exercise equipment that Gu Ming exchanged from the system store. They were all specially made. For example, the sandbags that looked very ordinary were not filled with sand, but a special metal ball. Anyway, no matter how hard Gu Ming hit them, they would not fall apart.
"Bang bang-bang-bang-"
This was the sound of Gu Ming hitting the sandbags. He alternated his fists and feet, and his hands and feet hit at a very fast speed. Only the afterimage could be seen. Gu Ming was very satisfied with the fight. He exercised every day and could feel that his body was getting stronger little by little. This was comparable to the kind of thing between men and women.
Gu Xiao stood straight in the corner, watching Gu Ming exercise, expressionless, while Wangcai lay on the ground in a daze, as if thinking about the little monsters at home. He didn't know how they were doing now, whether they were still so naughty every day, and Wangcai was a little homesick.
After hitting the sandbag with all his strength for half an hour, Gu Ming felt that his body was active and started his daily sparring, so he said to Gu Xiao in the corner.
"Gu Xiao, go to the ring and practice."
"Okay, sir."
The two walked to the special ring in the middle. Gu Ming stepped on the ground and directly jumped over the three-meter-high fence. Gu Xiao also jumped onto the ring and stood opposite Gu Ming.
"Don't hold back."
Gu Ming felt that with his current physical fitness, it would be difficult for Gu Xiao to hurt him if he didn't use the laser knife.
Gu Xiao started without saying a word. He knew that it was difficult to hurt Gu Ming with his skills, so he always did his best.
"Bang-bang-bang"
The two men started out boxing, fist to fist, like two hammers hitting each other, the hard sound resounded through the training room.
The speed was fast, the fist shadows intersected, but Gu Xiao still couldn't stop Gu Ming's attack. He was slowly retreating, sometimes he didn't block the hits on the head and body parts, but for Gu Xiao, a robot, it was completely fine, his entire body shell was made of special memory metal, it was easy to restore to its original state.
The two men practiced for more than an hour before stopping, and finally Gu Xiao was kicked away by Gu Ming, hit the guardrail and bounced back, and fell to the ground. Gu Xiao's body looked a little scary, his head was dented, like a deflated basketball, and his two hands looked broken, but Gu Xiao stood up quickly, and within two minutes, his body was restored to its original state.
Just as the two men walked down from the ring, Pangu's voice rang in the training room.
"Sir, there is something wrong, please come to the bridge."
"Okay."
Gu Ming and his companions came to the bridge and sat down in their seats, and then Pangu's voice sounded.
"Sir, there is a super vortex not far in front of our submarine, with a radius of 50 kilometers."
Damn, before the Doomsday, I had never heard of a whirlpool with a diameter of 100 kilometers in the ocean. Whirlpools are usually caused by shipwrecks, or some reefs in the sea can cause some small whirlpools. Even in the Bermuda Triangle, I have never heard of such a large whirlpool. What kind of ghost things will come out in the Doomsday, Gu Ming was thinking wildly.
"Do you know what caused it?"
"Sir, the radar shows that there is something in the center of the whirlpool. I don't know what it is. It may be a mutant beast. This whirlpool is caused by it."
Mutant beast? The most abundant thing in the ocean is mutant beasts. I don't know if there are meteorites there. This kind of whirlpool is a bit strange. Gu Ming wants to go into the whirlpool to take a look. The main reason is that the maximum scanning distance of the meteorite radar is only 20 kilometers. I don't know if Gu Ke can make a radar with a longer scanning distance in the future.
"Pangu, how deep can our submarine dive into the sea?"
"Sir, our maximum diving depth is 5,000 meters."
Whirlpools are generally funnel-shaped. The range is definitely larger at the top, and the smaller it gets as you go down, so Gu Ming asked again.
"Can we dive to 5,000 meters, then enter the vortex to see what is in the center, so that we can get out?"
"Yes, sir, with the power of our nuclear submarine, there is no problem at all."
The nuclear submarine first dived to a depth of 5,000 meters, and then plunged into the edge of the vortex. The submarine was not affected by the centripetal force of the vortex and slowly approached the center.
In less than half an hour, a large red dot appeared on the meteorite radar. There was indeed a meteorite inside, and the size was larger than any meteorite Gu Ming had collected before.
Gu Ming asked Pangu to launch a deep-sea probe. He wanted to see what mutant beast was guarding the meteorite under the sea.
