The Science Fiction World of Xueba

But Pang Xuelin didn't ask too much, as long as he knows this kind of thing in his heart.

The cylindrical equipment weighed about 20 to 30 kilograms, and the two men entered the sea with the handles on the left and the right.

It was Pang Xuelin's first time diving. Fortunately, with Hopkins' guidance, nothing was wrong.

After adapting to the underwater environment, Hopkins asked Pang Xuelin to grab his calf, and he turned on the power-assisted equipment and dived towards the open sea.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the two of them swam at least five or six nautical miles before surfacing.

Pang Xuelin and Hopkins stepped on the water, Pang Xuelin said: "Professor Hopkins, can you tell me how to avoid customs now?"

Hopkins smiled faintly, pointed in one direction and said, "Professor Pang, please look!"

I saw a huge water bag rising up on the sea hundreds of meters away from them. The water bag moved at an astonishing speed, splitting from the middle into two huge waves, and a black ridge appeared in the huge waves up.

Soon, the ridge sank to the bottom of the sea, and then, its huge tail stood up on the sea surface, like a huge black sail.

"This is……"

Pang Xuelin showed shock on his face, half pretending, half really shocked.

The blue whale was swimming happily in the sea, and the waves aroused swept towards them, making a loud bang.

"This is a blue whale, forty-eight meters long. I call it Poseidon, the name of the sea god in Greek mythology."

Hopkins said triumphantly, like a child showing off his new toy.

After about ten minutes, the blue whale calmed down and slowly swam towards them. Then, with its huge mouth open, a small transparent cabin spit out from the blue whale's mouth.

"Professor Pang, come up!"

Hopkins skillfully climbed into the small cabin, moved the cylindrical equipment into the cabin, and then pulled Pang Xuelin in.

The cabin is about the size of a car, with two seats inside, and in front of the seats, there are monitors and electronic equipment.

The setting sun shone into the transparent cabin, casting a layer of golden light on everything in the cabin.

Hopkins closed the hatch, took out a TV remote control from a corner of the cabin, and pressed it a few times.

Soon, they heard a deep sound from the sea in the distance, and the sound became louder and louder. The big mouth of the blue whale appeared on the surface of the sea and pressed towards them. The small cabin seemed to be sucked into a black hole at high speed, and the light The space shrinks rapidly, and finally disappears completely, everything is plunged into darkness.

Then there was the weightless feeling of the elevator descending.

Hopkins on the side lit the small blue light on the top of the cabin, and said with a smile: "Professor Pang, don't panic, now we have been held in the mouth of Poseidon, and Poseidon is diving into the deep sea."

Pang Xuelin looked around, the small cabin seemed to be placed on a piece of soft mud, and the surface of the mud was still wriggling.

Then Poseidon's tongue.

The top is like a vault, and one after another arch beams made of huge bones can be seen.

This is the upper jaw of Poseidon.

The "swampy ground" and the arch above both leaned back to reach a large black hole, which was constantly changing shape. Pang Xuelin knew that it was the throat of the blue whale.

There was a layer of damp fog floating around, and under the blue light of the lamp, they seemed to be in a magic cave in mythology.

Pang Xuelin asked: "Professor Hopkins, how did you do all this?"

Hopkins proudly said: "I definitely can't do it alone. The anesthetic used to anesthetize Poseidon alone is 500 kilograms. This is a military scientific research project costing billions of dollars. I used to be this Director of the project. Poseidon is the property of the US Navy and was used during the Cold War to send spies and special forces to the coast of the Warsaw Pact countries. I have also directed some other projects, such as burying the brains of dolphins or sharks. I put electrodes in and strapped bombs to them to turn them into controllable torpedoes. I did a lot for this country and then the defense budget was cut and they kicked me out.

When I left the institute, I took Poseidon with me. Over the years, I have traveled all over the oceans with it..."

Hopkins was chattering a bit. He was far less famous than Pang Xuelin in the academic world. Seeing this big guy shocked by one of the most proud achievements in his life, he felt indescribably relieved.

After a while, Pang Xuelin heard another low rumbling sound, and he looked at Hopkins puzzled.

"This is Poseidon singing, this is the whale song."

Hopkins seemed used to the sound.

Gradually, Pang Xuelin heard a certain rhythm and even a melody from the low and intermittent roar...

"What does it do, courtship?"

"Not quite. Marine scientists have studied whale songs for a long time, and they have not been able to understand their meaning."

"Probably means nothing at all."

"On the contrary, the meaning is too deep for humans to understand. Scientists think it is a musical language, but at the same time it expresses many things that are difficult for human language to express."

The whale song is ringing, as if the soul of the sea is singing, thick and melodious.

In the whale song, the ancient lightning strikes the primordial ocean, and life flashes like fireflies in the chaotic sea water; The sea sets foot on the land where the volcano has not yet been extinguished; in the whale song, the dinosaur empire perishes in the cold, time flies, and the vicissitudes of life, wisdom is like grass, sprouting in the early warmth after the glacier; in the whale song, civilizations appear in various places like ghosts Continent, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the ocean in flashes and bangs...

...

The two were chatting in the cabin, and Hopkins controlled Poseidon by remote control, and drove Pang Xuelin in the deep sea of ​​the Eastern Pacific Ocean for nearly two hours.

When the two of them came out of the blue whale's giant mouth again, the sky outside was already full of stars.

Poseidon made a long cry and sprayed a water column more than ten meters high into the sky, as if saying goodbye to them.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that they returned to the beach where they went to sea before.

On the way back to the city, the two drove the car one after the other.

Although Pang Xuelin knew the plot of this novel well, but when he really experienced the shocking feeling of sitting in the mouth of Poseidon and sailing the ocean, it was completely different from the few science fiction worlds he experienced in the past.

There is a sense of unreality like a dream.

Back in Pasadena, Pang Xuelin sent Hopkins home first, and then said: "Professor Hopkins, thank you very much for your presentation today, it is relatively late today, what exactly do you want to do through Poseidon, Let's talk tomorrow, what do you think?"

Hopkins pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Professor Pang, then we will see you tomorrow!"
