Chapter 323: Disappearing Workers, Bluefin Tuna, and Sea Exploration

Riding the wind and waves.

The super ship sailed at the fastest speed and arrived near the most mysterious Moni point in the ocean.

"Is it so serious?"

Yang Feng held a telescope and looked at the sea in the distance.

On the blue ocean, a layer of black grease floated, polluting the nearby sea area. It was the oil leaked by Super Drilling No. 3.

The center of pollution.

The oil extraction base supporting the super drilling is like an isolated island standing on the sea surface. It is made up of a large number of steel brackets and connected to the seabed thousands of meters deep.

"Su Manman."

"Is the deep-sea diving team ready?"

Yang Feng put down the telescope, his expression solemn and serious, without the initial cynical look.

"Ready."

"Please go to the control room."

Su Manman nodded, indicating that everything is ready.

Control room.

Modern equipment is controlled by many professionals.

This place seems to be a future world, full of technological texture. All computers are assisted by super AI hosts, with extremely powerful computing power.

A 3D stereo imager appeared in the control room.

The stereo image of the super drilling was clearly displayed at a reduced scale, and a red alert area represented the destroyed facilities.

"The oil pipeline was completely broken."

"The hardness of the nanomaterial, was it bombed by a missile?"

"What do you say now, the person in charge of Super Drilling No. 3?"

Yang Feng looked at the stereo image, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. According to reason, even if the deep-sea nanomaterial was damaged, it would only be a small gap at most.

Now the entire pipeline is broken.

That is a composite material with a diameter of more than 20 meters, which is tougher than steel...

"The person in charge over there is helpless."

"They sent maintenance workers, but they all disappeared in the deep sea below 3,000 meters."

"So far, 12 people have been lost."

The specialist in charge of liaison reported that 12 people disappeared mysteriously, and the people in the control room became nervous, after all, it was a matter of life and death.

"What?"

"12 workers disappeared!"

Yang Feng was even more shocked, and the surprise on his face turned into anger: "What on earth do the people at the No. 3 drilling base do?"

"12 people are missing, and it's only reported now?"

"Do you know what this means? That's 12 lives."

Yang Feng's palm slammed heavily on the table. If there is really a death, a large sum of compensation must be indispensable.

Of course.

The compensation is just a small matter, and it is nothing with the company's financial resources.

The key is the public opinion caused, which will inevitably usher in social condemnation, inspections and difficulties from various departments, and stock price plunges caused by various rumors.

Yang Feng still has valuable shares in his hands, and it will be more painful to fall than to cut meat.

"Mr. Yang."

"No matter what, we must stop the loss."

"Oil is flowing and erupting every moment, and the sea explorer team must set off."

Another senior executive in the control room reminded that no matter what, we must stop the loss in time, even if we know the news that 12 people have mysteriously disappeared, we must take this risk.

Yang Feng rubbed his temples.

He let out a long breath: "Okay, Sea Explorers, go down when you are ready."

Sea Explorers.

That is an elite team recruited by Ocean Technology Oil Company.

They are all diving experts, and the company is equipped with the most advanced equipment, with a technological content that even exceeds that of space suits.

These diving equipment can withstand thousands of meters of water pressure.

Not only that.

The Hailong submersible developed with the latest technology also easily broke the deep diving record of '10911 meters' a few years ago.

This special submersible was transformed into infrastructure equipment, and eventually helped Super Drilling No. 3 to create a precedent for deep-sea oil exploration.

"Let two groups go down first."

Yang Feng made a decision, and the two groups boarded the Hailong submersible and began to dive into the deep sea area.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

The sonar radar of the Hailong submersible spread in the boundless ocean.

The 3D image in the control room depicts the ripples of the sonar radar and detects a large area of ​​fish.

"Report."

"We have detected a school of fish."

"From the appearance, it should be bluefin tuna..."

The voice of the Sea Dragon submersible came from the Sea Explorer Team. Through the highly reinforced glass window, you can see a large number of precious tuna swimming outside.

The scale of the entire school of fish is very large, probably at least hundreds of thousands.

Weird.

This is too weird.

Bluefin tuna, also known as Atlantic salmon.

They have delicious meat and are rare, so they are regarded as luxury goods on the table.

It is said that... each pound of bluefin tuna can be sold for more than 300 yuan in the seafood market, and it will be several times more in Japanese restaurants, and even sold for a sky-high price of more than 10,000 yuan per pound.

If these hundreds of thousands of bluefin tuna are encountered by a fishing boat, it is equivalent to picking up gold, and there will be no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.

But... don't forget that this is Moni Point! !

Moni Point is called the desert of the ocean. It is extremely lacking in nutrients and cannot form a healthy ecosystem. No fish are willing to come here.

How can you encounter bluefin tuna? ?

And.

This is the South Pacific, not the habitat of Atlantic salmon.

"Bluefin tuna."

"I miss that smell so much."

"I had it in a Japanese restaurant, so I was extravagant, but after the apocalypse... I never had it again."

Sumanman's mouth watered, recalling the delicious taste of tuna.

Yang Feng frowned.

"Um?"

"Didn't I take you to eat several times?"

"What is the apocalypse you are talking about? What is the after-apocalypse?"

Yang Feng asked with some doubts, which made Su Manman stunned and looked a little dazed.

Su Manman was also surprised, not knowing why she said such a thing.

"I may have lost my mind~"

"As soon as he said it smoothly, he said something incomprehensible."

Sumanman made a playful expression, feeling a little suspicious that he was too tired.

Yang Feng nodded.

"Read less weird novels."

"Have you read too many apocalyptic novels and become confused?"

Yang Feng joked that sometimes he is so absorbed in reading novels that he cannot extricate himself from them and forgets the reality for a while.

Sumanman pouted, noncommittal.

She is really obsessed with novels recently, and she can read them for hours at a time.

"alright."

"Focus on it."

"The diving depth has reached 1,500 meters."

"Further down there is where the pipe breaks."

Yang Feng reminded him, and everyone became focused.

While everyone was looking at the 3D simulation images, they were also observing the images transmitted by the Hailong submersible.

"Report."

"We're here."

"There's a gap in the pipeline, and oil is gushing out."

The sea explorer team sent a message, and you can clearly see in the picture that a pipe with a diameter of more than 20 meters is spraying black liquid crazily.
