Chapter 53 Start diving (4600)
The huge remains formed by the corpse of the Dragon King on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean have actually been discovered by Zhengguo and the American Federation when jointly exploring the seabed. Its exact location is around the crust cracks around the Northern Mariana Islands, in the center of a dense sea chimney.
Su Zhou's past sensing was first confirmed that a dragon had been born on the Dragon King's corpse, and secondly, he also discovered the situation around the remains, and prepared for the next more detailed exploration work.
This exploration will be led by the Zhengguo, and the purpose of public exploration is to reveal the evidence of the existence of ancient demons and immortals and gods, as well as their power to everyone in the world.
No matter what country or myth, there are legends of giant beasts and demons. Some of them can live normally with people, while others are pure enemies... The inheritance governments of various countries that know the things that are imitating the Tao will naturally know the difference. It is the oldest way for humans to use the other way to do the other.
But the people are different. Humans who grew up in an era of spiritual severance know little about these things, and it is easy to confuse the two.
But the existence of the Taoist Tao is here, and there will inevitably be powerful Taoist Taoist monks in the future. Are they humans or monsters? Are they druids, werewolfs, vampires, or other strange beasts? Will they really not pose a threat to normal humans? Are they the same as the legendary, gluttonous and flesh and blood?
To explain this issue clearly and separate all the Taoist cultivators in the world from this demonized public opinion, various preparations are needed.
For Zhengguo, the "dragon" that has always appeared in the image of positive and totem is the best example.
"Even if I was announced as the holder of the dragon blood, no one thought I was not a human being. Although there are reasons why I am handsome, the most important thing is that there are dragons in the totem worship of Zhengguo since ancient times."
Su Zhou was very self-aware. He knew very clearly that even if he was handsome, if the bloodline he got was such a mess of evil beasts such as Taotie Zhu Yanqiongqi, or other jackals, bears, tigers and leopards, the public opinion trend would not change so well, and everyone would subconsciously reject it.
In fact, the phoenix is the same as the other. No one will hate the phoenix bloodline - this is the importance of fame.
Therefore, choosing the Dragon King ruins as the target will not cause much rejection. According to the records in the scriptures, this demon god, who is basically identified as the "Dragon King of Tianchi", is indeed cultivated by a human being. As an example of publicly imitating Taoism, it is indeed very suitable.
However, in addition to this, there is actually another problem - whether to reveal the power of the demon clan and the former immortals and gods so early has actually caused controversy at the joint meetings of various countries: some people believe that revealing the power of the immortals and gods too early will induce panic and shaken by the people, or uncontrollable blind worship, which are extremely unstable factors, and are not a good thing for the current somewhat shaky world order.
But the other side believes that instead of being forced to reveal the existence and power of the immortals and gods in the future, it is better to give the people a vaccination while at least it is still stable now.
As for the inevitable chaos... can it be avoided by dragging it backwards?
Su Zhou was also present at the time, sitting behind the two seats of Wen Sheng and Li Sheng. By the way, he took photos of the scene of the United Nations General Assembly and posted them on an anonymous website, which aroused a shocking reply, "You will never know who the sand sculpture netizens are who chat with you?" "There are really everyone in X Island!"
Li Sheng is a pure official, a 63-year-old man with a neat beard and very energetic. He did not practice specifically and his strength was not high, so he did not coincide with the daily circle of Su Zhou, the extraordinary person. That meeting was the first time he met.
The Zhengguo side prefers to make it public as soon as possible. After all, the Zhengguo has many inheritances of the Taoist Tao, second only to Fusang next door. Moreover, the status of the Taoist Taoist practitioners is not low, and they have achieved success in various fields. Their voices are also an important force.
Su Zhou also felt that the immortals and gods exist objectively, at least in this world. Since that is the case, it is better to be forced to show off a little earlier than to wait until the situation is out of control.
At the end of the meeting, the result was that "long pain is worse than short pain", so this multinational joint exploration team led by Zhengguo was founded.
This time, Su Zhou was appointed as the team professor to conduct exploration of the remains of the Dragon King. This time, there will be a live broadcast of the "Architecture" program team. Unlike other small relics, this time the program is listed separately and named as a special chapter of "The Relics of Ancients". If there is anything worthy of public exploration of large-scale relics, it will be broadcast live with this name.
As for why Su Zhou led the team, it is not surprising, because he is now a dragon blood holder recognized by extraordinary people in all countries in the world. His existence itself is a reassurance. Even among the followers, many people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was a true dragon bloodline present, even if there was an accident in the deep sea, at least his life safety was guaranteed.
But they didn't know that Su Zhou would meet the thunder Dharma, the fire Dharma, the wind Dharma, but they would not know water. If they knew, they would probably not be so optimistic.
I'm afraid it's not a fake dragon.
"No big problem." However, Su Zhou himself was full of confidence: "I have condensed my spiritual power, bones and spleen, and most of the remaining muscles have been condensed, leaving only the brain."
"Don't say that the dragon's realm is weaker than me, and even the dragon's body has not been transformed. Even if it has been converted into a real dragon's body, I can still blow it with one punch."
However, it is a big deal to fight. After all, after training for a wave of soul transmission, Su Zhou was confident that he would use his strong willpower to convince the dragon and negotiate peacefully.
After reporting with the principal and obtaining nominal permission, Su Zhou took a bus to the airport and went to Tiandu, then landed in Fusang with Zhengguo's official exploration team on a special plane, and then set off from Guam on a boat to the relevant waters.
The whole process was not even more than half a day, and Su Zhou had already arrived from Hongcheng to the sea.
This time, Zhengguo was naturally the leader, followed by the American Federation and Fuso. Due to geographical reasons and other complex elements, other countries cannot send exploration teams as soon as possible, but can only send a few entourage personnel nominally.
The Fusang system is a constitutional monarchy based on elite bureaucracy. There is an emperor in name. Not to mention its original symbolic meaning, its role itself is to inherit the orthodox ancient scriptures of Fusang. The ancient Fusang immortal gods handed over the management of the scriptures to them, but did not give ownership. It is similar to the identity of a library administrator.
Fusang's current internal political system is undergoing large-scale reforms due to the recovery of spiritual energy. They themselves do not want to change in nature, but the recovery of spiritual energy itself is a catalyst for change and chaos. The suppressed lower class naturally will not be willing to continue to be ordered by their superiors. When the superiors see the changed subordinates, they will naturally feel panic. In addition, Fusang's status as a inheritor of Taoism is not high, and the suppression is far more serious than that of Taoism practitioners in the country. The internal contradictions among the extraordinary are also huge. They are divided into conservatives and reformists, but they have been suppressed by the environment of the cut off of spiritual energy.
If this accumulated hostility broke out between the conservatives and the reformists, it would probably be no less than the riot that subverted the old Fusang 130 years ago.
This time, the exploration of the remains of the Dragon King is of great significance to the reformists within Fusang. If the action is successful and the publicity is over, it will surely wipe out the reputation of the Taoist practitioners in the past.
Theoretically, the conservatives within Fuso must have destroyed this operation - but unfortunately they dare not. After all, the price of offending the righteous country and the American Federation is much greater than the success of the reformists.
As for why the American Federation supports it, it is for another similar but different purpose.
In the final analysis, the imitation of Tao is nothing more than changing the body and simulating the power of extraordinary creatures.
This difference from normal humans is essentially based on the physical body. Although the demonized body has powerful power, it looks different from normal humans. This will induce the fear of ordinary humans. After all, all humans are essentially members of the Appearance Association.
So, what is the difference between whether a human becomes a demon or a robot?
A topic that seems to be incompatible with each other has the same essence.
In terms of mechanized transformation and even mechanical extraordinary transformation, the American Federation, which has a profound technical foundation, knows very clearly that as long as everyone can accept it, the changes in the body do not matter. As long as the spirit is human, then it is human. Then all the ethical and public opinion problems of mechanized transformation will be solved easily.
After all, compared to the true body of a demon, the shape of the mechanical body is more similar to that of a human body, and the instinctive repulsion is smaller.
Perhaps in many people's view, this seems to be an extremely difficult ethical and moral issue, but with the advancement of technology, human ethics and morality will change itself. For large aggregates of the country and civilization, ethics and morality are just tools for maintaining stability, and tools naturally need to adapt to the times.
"So, we just took a submersible? I thought I needed to dive in my body."
On the top deck of the scientific research ship driving, Su Zhou was drinking coffee with Xuanlu, the head of the Xuanwu Xuan family. After all, this was a show, and there were basically no accidents. Naturally, the danger was extremely small, so the two were not nervous.
In fact, because the old and young people just now had a discussion on "Is coffee soy milk?" If it was soy milk, then sweet soy milk and sugar, salty soy milk, and salt, can coffee also be added?' This lasted for twenty minutes, and there was no one around except a secretary from Xuan Lu.
I have to say that Su Zhou really met a chess opponent this time. Although Xuanlu is old, he has profound skills and clear thinking. When it comes to life experience, Su Zhou is not as good as a player. If Su Zhou had not been talented in genius, he would have been overwhelmed.
Xuanwu's bloodline is born with water control. The official of Zhengguo also knew that Su Zhou had never shown the spiritual power of the water system, so the veteran was able to take on Su Zhou, who led the team leader in the name of Su Zhou, but in fact, the one responsible for the entire exploration plan was Xuanlu. Su Zhou naturally had no dissatisfaction with this. He didn't understand it at first, but Xuanlu was in charge of the affairs and was not the team leader. If he hadn't cared about this false reputation, he would have felt a little confused.
"It is a submersible, but it is recently newly built. After testing, it is easy to dive into the depths of a trench of 10,000 meters, not to mention the 6,000-meter bottom of the sea - if you want to dive physically, it is not impossible, but there is a discharging device similar to torpedo launch on the Chilong, and you can enter the sea at any time."
Xuan Lu smiled and drank a sip of the black sweet soy milk in the cup. Just as the Northwest Bai family with gold bloodline shone brightly in various materials science and the branches and leaves that need to be sensitive to various metal perceptions, the Xuan family naturally knew very well about this deep-sea operation, and even the submersible was designed and manufactured by them.
The old man proudly showed off his achievements to the powerful young man in front of him: "The original design of the Chilong is to explore another world or alien planets in the future, those 'extraordinary environments' that transcend the earth's environment. Its strength standard is far beyond any exploration needs on the earth."
At this time, five multinational scientific research ships had arrived around the Mariana Sea, and many exploration instruments were already operating to collect relevant data from the surrounding area.
The program team in front is filming the opening remarks at this time, and the "Chilong Submersible" with a white shape and white body is also being displayed. It has smooth wavy patterns on it, and it is flashing with light blue water light under the sea breeze.
From Su Zhou's perspective, what Xuanlu said is really not a boast. Not to mention the rune structure above the submersible, the hardness of the special extraordinary alloy material alone is probably comparable, even exceeding that of the golden feather of Garuda. If he does not show his true strength, it will be really difficult to destroy.
At this time, you can also vaguely hear the opening remarks of the program team of the Far-Fang Zhengguo.
[Dragon, jade, dragon and phoenix are synonyms of the culture of the country. Apart from dragon and phoenix, there is no such single and long-standing totem worship in the world. Apart from jade, there is no mineral born with such divinity.]
[Revival of spiritual energy, the divine nature of jade has been proven that wearing a good piece of jade of excellent material can condense spiritual energy, relieve fatigue, and nourish the mind. Our ancient ancestors must have discovered this, so they use jade as a synonym for their civilization.]
[But, what about dragons and phoenixes? Where does their divine nature originate? Are there really dragons and phoenixes in this world? Where does our ancient totem originate? In ancient times, dragons and light agreed, and the word dragons and phoenixes were used together, what is their true face? This question is too deep and broad, and no one can answer it.]
[But today, we will reveal the secret of the dragon, hide behind history, and show the true appearance of our totem to everyone - we will discover ruins from ancient times, and restore the truth of history from the scales and half of the claws of the ancient sites.]
[Large outdoor live broadcast record program, enter the special chapter of the ruins, ancient ruins, the trace of dragons, will soon show you the secret of all this.]
【Stay tuned.】
Next, it was advertising time. At this time, Su Zhou and others also began to make infiltration preparations. The safety monitoring of the Chilong submersible has been confirmed by all staff, and all the entourages have put on protective equipment.
It can be seen that several other scientific research ships in other countries have corresponding processes, and they will sneak into the seabed in different orders in different orders. Naturally, the country's exploration team led by Su Zhou took the lead.
The Chilong submersible is a large manned submersible, using the "spiritual power conversion battery" as the energy source - this is a very mature technology that has been studied. Shao Family's Shao Family's Shao Family Photovoltaic also had related research in this area.
Compared with ordinary deep-sea submersibles, the Chilong is very large, 18 meters long and 7 meters wide, and has the function of deep-sea escape. There are a total of twelve seats, including three operators, Su Zhou and Xuan Lu, and two other official extraordinary people. A total of four people were used as force support. They walked into the ruins program team and were responsible for accompanying the filming. The other three were researchers who collected underwater inspection and exploration data.
Entering the submersible, Su Zhou sat in the No. 8 seat closest to the "release device". After all, if he encounters a huge sea beast, he will take off the submersible and fight the other party as soon as possible, and the others will do it in turn. They have all undergone relevant training and are very capable and skillful.
Soon, with the explanation of the program team, the Chilong cabin door was closed and began to sneak in.
The white submersible was placed under the water smoothly and then began to dive... The sunlight gradually disappeared, and the blue sea water became deeper and deeper until it turned black.
Chapter completed!
