The End of the Earth

Star

This is the new name Xiang San gave to the aircraft he obtained.

It is the name of the damaged Tianxing test aircraft, in order to commemorate the fact that it helped Xiang San escape from danger, and it also represents the new life of the people on this aircraft.

Xiang San changed into Ghost Shark's uniform. In a hierarchical environment, it is more appropriate to wear this kind of clothes. First, it represents status, and second, it is also for decency.

"Commander Xiang! The Tianxing has completed its self-repair and is ready to depart at any time."

"Leaving? Where to?"

Xiang San's question was so fatal that it left people speechless.

"Ahem, I mean, everyone, stand by. I'll first review the information I have and bring back the relatives of our crew members. This is the top priority."

"Yes! Commander Xiang."

Xiang San let out a deep breath after watching his men leave. The three words "commander" were extremely stressful.

Xiang San turned on the communicator and called Chris, Jareth, and Ayu, three siblings.

"Mr. Xiang, do you have any arrangements for us?"

"According to the seniority system in our place, you can just call me Uncle Xiang. There are no outsiders here, so don't call me Mr. Yours.

Too awkward."

"Uncle Xiang."

"Xiang, Uncle Xiang."

Xiang San nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I called you here to discuss Xien's burial.

Sheen's body has been found, and I'd like to ask for your advice.

Should his remains be cremated and buried in an empty burial chamber or transported back to the rocket base launch center for burial?

In addition, you will also need to deal with the issue of the relatives of the Tianxing crew.

I'd also like to hear your opinions on the selection of a future base."

The three of them didn't expect that Xiang San would come to them to talk about this. Their reaction to Xien's matter was relatively normal.

But they didn't expect that their opinions would also be sought on issues related to future development. Couldn't Xiang San decide on such matters alone?

Xiang San noticed something strange about them.

“I know you’re confused, but I can tell you that even I need help.

Although we have just known each other for a short time, I have decided to cultivate you as the seeds of future development. I hope that you can take root, sprout, thrive and grow into people who influence this era.

You have been working hard for my daughter since she was a child. As a father, I want to do something for her and for you.

At the same time, as an elder, I also hope that you can have more room to grow, rather than living for my daughter."

Ayu was a little moved, while Chris and Jarris looked at Xiang San with tears in their eyes.

Although Ayu had already felt Xiang San's thoughts a long time ago, she was still moved when Xiang San said it in person.

"Uncle Xiang, we have always treated An An as a family member. It's not as bad as you say..."

Xiang San smiled slightly and said: "I am telling you this because I treat you as my own family. Okay, let's stop saying these sentimental words.

So, how do we arrange Sean’s funeral?”

The two of them looked at Ayu, and it seemed that they still wanted Ayu, the big sister, to make the decision.

"Uncle Xiang, let's transport Brother Xien back to the rocket base for burial. We've lived there since we were little, and that's where he should be buried."

Xiang San nodded, opened the captain's channel of the Tianxing, notified them to start the propulsion system, and sent them the coordinates of the rocket base.

At this moment, an idea flashed through Xiang San's mind.

"Maybe there's a chance to visit outer space?"

He suddenly felt a surge of excitement. Outer space?

After a white flash event, is it just the Earth that changes, or is it the entire solar system?

Or perhaps the entire universe...

Xiang San put aside this strange idea and hinted that he did not have so many bizarre events.

Little did people know that at this moment, countless mechanical tentacles on a complex ring-shaped space station in the Earth's low-Earth orbit were receiving cargo capsules transported from the Earth.

The words NWC on the space station are extremely eye-catching.

And on Earth, on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean northeast of the Philippines, there is a huge drilling platform base, which was built with construction technology that was impossible in the old times.

This is not only a drilling platform, but also a centralized diversified biological experiment and equipment development center.

This is a strategic base of Hei Chi Industry. Its special structure and construction materials allow this submarine base platform to safely and stably reside in the deep sea. Unless a celestial body falls into the sea and hits it, theoretically nothing can threaten the safety of the base.

But... there is always the possibility of accidents.

In the face of the power of nature, no one dares to say that he is absolutely safe.

The earth shuddered, and the violent earthquake caused severe damage to the underwater base, one of the representative works of human technology that had been operating safely for more than ten years.

It is said that the super material combined with the advanced construction structure ensures absolute safety.

These new-age terms seem too fragile in the face of the power of nature and will break with a single poke.

The entire submarine base was torn into three parts, and only one part of the platform still maintained the energy supply and the external lighting system.

This part of the base is the drilling function concentration area of ​​the base, and it has a backup energy supply system. The survivors inside can only see darkness outside. Even if the lighting system is turned on, the actual visibility is still very low.

The other two separated parts of the base structure have obviously lost their energy supply, and they are facing the despair of waiting to die.

Due to the damaged function and being in the deep sea, the survivors discussed and decided to use the only remaining escape pod to store the distress signal.

This only remaining escape pod could have allowed one person to leave the underwater base alive, but for the sake of other people's survival, everyone agreed to use it to release a distress signal device.

According to their design, after the escape pod is ejected from the base, it will accelerate to the sea surface through buoyancy and propulsion. Since there are no passengers, all life support systems can be shut down to save energy.

After popping out of the sea, the escape capsule will automatically open and the distress device will begin transmitting coordinates and related information.

This is their only chance.

Just after they completed the deployment of the escape pod, the images transmitted from the pod made the survivors of the underwater base feel unprecedented fear.

In the deep sea that is like an abyss, the rising escape capsule shines red light like a lamp of hope.

The survivors used the sonic device attached to the escape pod to scan a creature that was almost as large as the base.

And this creature was less than a hundred meters away from the base, right next to them.

After a period of discussion, they decided to turn on the most powerful underwater illumination lights at the base of the drilling concentration area.

The use of such high-power lighting systems is explicitly prohibited in submarine bases and must be decided by senior management before use.

The creatures on the seabed are extremely sensitive to light sources, so even if the base is very safe, it cannot be used easily.

But they had to understand information about this huge creature, and recording its appearance was essential.

Even if this may lead to more serious consequences, studying various types of marine life is the mission of this group of people.
