Chapter 470: Crossing the Deep Sea!

Seeing that vast and brilliant ocean "galaxy" beneath the deep sea, everyone at this moment was nervous and filled with fear of this strange ocean current.

At Lin Xian's order, the Infinite and the North Wind 09 started propulsion the moment the geothermal lava rose from beneath the deep sea like hell. The two deep-diving vehicles, which appeared incomparably small under the deep-sea torrent, began to drive toward the "galaxy" vortex. The thruster power was opened to the maximum

Xiang Ningjing, Qian Dele, and other powerhouses from the various Infinite squads gathered in Carriage 78, along with Vanessa, to coordinate the protection of the ordinary Falcon Sea Group members who had boarded the Infinite. On the North Wind 09, every cabin was also on high alert. Children were buckled into anti-roll baskets, and in the rest area, everyone held hands, gripping tightly. The air fell completely silent, leaving only a tense atmosphere.

Lei En watched the Infinite rush toward the vortex. At this moment, he took off his sunglasses, gritted his teeth, and with a look of wry determination in his eyes, said fiercely: "Truly spectacular. Charge!"

Inside the Infinite's cockpit, Chen Sixuan and Ding Junyi strapped themselves into the pilot seats with safety belts. Kiki floated in the air, releasing all her psychic power; her telekinesis acted like an invisible film, gently enveloping the Infinite, while Long Zhijie was responsible for coordinating the care of the North Wind 09 behind them.

【Flow velocity 9 m/s. 12 m/s. 15 m/s! Attitude control failure. Preparing to retract stabilizer fins. Entering the outer ring of the vortex.】

*Woooo, woooo, woooo! *

Inside the Infinite, various alarm instruments rang incessantly. As the speed of the torrent outside increased, the Infinite was swept up by the powerful current, began to flip and tilt, and was drawn into the edge of the vortex.

"Live or die, let's gamble on this."

Lin Xian's gaze flickered as he watched the azure water light points outside the porthole gradually become denser. The train's pressure-resistant hull emitted a series of accelerating whimpers. He took a deep breath, and the nano-power armor behind him deformed, extending six spider legs to fix himself firmly in place, then operated the Mechanical Heart at full power.

At this moment, his Mechanical Heart had completely abandoned control, leaving only one thought: repair the metal fatigue!

*Hum, hum, hum! *

【Flow velocity 18 m/s. 20 m/s. 22 m/s!】

Viola's calm voice sounded incredibly sharp amidst the instrument alarms. At this moment, only restless humming remained in the ears of Lin Xian and the others, and the communicators were filled with noise. The Infinite was like a coin swept into a giant ocean washing machine. Outside the porthole, the ink-black seawater suddenly faded away, and the liquid galaxy composed of trillions of geothermal microorganisms turned into an endless blue ribbon of light, stretching into a ribbon of light that traversed the abyss under the pull of centrifugal force!

Beginning to enter the center of the super vortex!

【Current speed thrusters have lost escape power. Flow velocity has reached 25 m/s! Carriages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have begun metal deformation!】

*Wooo!! *

"I know!"

Lin Xian's roar was drowned out by the groaning of metal. The straight carriage passage behind him began to deform violently, like a twisted pretzel.

"Kiki, don't let the Infinite be torn apart!"

"I know that too!" Kiki gritted her silver teeth, her eyes like hot electricity. The psychic fluctuations erupting from her entire body had already begun to cause energy distortion around her form. Her task was to firmly solidify the outer structure of the Infinite's pressure-resistant hull. As long as the outer structure was not torn, Lin Xian could continuously repair the metal fatigue through his psychic power to maintain stability.

Chen Sixuan closed her eyes, gritting her teeth to resist the immense load, while Ding Junyi beside her was nearly fainting. She had little combat experience and was pressed against her seat by the safety belt, her face pale. While her consciousness drifted, she said intermittently:

"Lin Xian... can my... psychic power help?"

Lin Xian shouted directly into her ear: "Concentrate on protecting yourself! Everything else! Don't worry about it!!"

【Ocean current velocity has reached 32 m/s. We are approaching the center of the vortex. The core maximum flow velocity is expected to exceed 50 m/s. Special warning: if it reaches 35 m/s, the stress will exceed the limit of the pressure-resistant hull!!】

50 meters per second—almost reaching the wind speed of a Category 17 typhoon. But they were not trapped in a typhoon; they were in a deep-sea current with physical properties!

*Bang! *

In Carriage 3, the seed bag protected by the vines held by Xiao Yuan exploded. Seeds sprayed throughout the carriage. The Black Dragon armor of the Carriage 5 building clamped onto the center of the carriage like a hammer, protecting Mo Xiaotian and Shasha on the left and right. In the rest carriage, various canned goods that had been secured exploded with *bang, bang, bang* sounds, spraying the interior. In the rear carriages, many people were already spinning, and the situation was tragically dire.

The entire Infinite was like a whipped steel lash under the terrifying centrifugal force of the vortex. The high-speed water flow caused the pressure-resistant hull to emit scorching heat waves, and steam bubbles completely enveloped the Infinite. At the same time, the scorching lava from the erupting Galan Volcano rose like hell itself, and countless giant lava pillars shot into the sky, forming dark red pillars of heaven in this vortex galaxy.

The Infinite and the North Wind 09 were passively trapped in this huge torrent, rotating. They could not control their direction, could not control their flipping, and could not escape. The only thing they could do was hold on tight and pray that the pressure-resistant hull would not be torn apart.

By comparison, the North Wind 09 was slightly better off than the Infinite. As a Federation integrated Abyss-class nuclear submarine, its pressure resistance was better than the Infinite's. Although Lin Xian and Mochizuki Zhenji had put a lot of effort into the configuration and materials when building the deep-diving module, the Infinite was, after all, a land train, merely fitted with a shell, and its durability was indeed flawed.

As for the Infinite, it had to rely entirely on the cooperation between Lin Xian and Kiki to forcibly ensure that the Infinite would not be torn apart by this gradually violent abyss vortex. Lin Xian wished he could summon the Black Star Forge to help him perform repairs automatically, but he knew that was impossible. At this moment, he could only rely on his personal willpower, scanning the train's main structure in a loop and frantically pouring power into repairs!

The honeycomb bracket on the roof of the train emitted the sharp sound of metal fatigue. A crack half a palm wide tore open at the junction of Carriage 3. The high-pressure water jet that pierced in was forcibly pulled by Kiki's telekinetic field, and then Lin Xian used his psychic power to weld it shut. When the flow velocity exceeded 35 m/s, the entire train sank suddenly. Everyone felt as if they had been struck in the chest by a giant hammer. Lin Xian heard a loud *bang* and looked out the porthole, discovering that countless fluorescent blue bubbles the size of heads were beginning to appear outside, looking incredibly eerie.

"What... is that?!"

【According to analysis, those should be super-pressure cavitation bubbles in the core area of the Silent Abyss vortex, a special phenomenon produced by high-speed water flow.】 Viola, like a guardian deity, responded steadily to Lin Xian's question. 【Super-pressure cavitation bubbles will cause tiny explosions on the metal surface, releasing energy and high temperatures, causing a 'corrosive' phenomenon on the pressure-resistant hull. It is one of the troubles submarines face underwater. The kind of super-pressure cavitation bubbles we are encountering will cause greater 'dissolution' damage to the main structure.】

"What?" Kiki gritted her teeth and said: "How much longer until we enter the stable streamline!?"

【We are at least 1.4 nautical miles from the stable streamline, which belongs to the vortex center. It is expected to take another 3 minutes, but the problem is that we may not be able to persist for 1 minute under the impact of these super-pressure cavitation bubbles, and the flow velocity of this vortex layer may reach 39 m/s.】

"Then what do we do? Lin Xian?" Kiki asked Lin Xian.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble!!! *

The entire Infinite was now erupting with the sharp sounds of metal fatigue, and the pressure-resistant hull in various parts emitted unsettling sounds of disintegration. At this moment, Lin Xian endured the terrifying load, half-opening his eyes to look at the data on the screen.

Azimuth 274, depth 2420 meters!

"There is... a way!" Lin Xian's face was covered in bulging veins, and he said to Kiki in a low roar: "Find a stable angle, and you shoot the Infinite straight into the center for me!"

"Huh?!"

【This plan is not recommended. If we actively enter the center of the vortex from a horizontal direction, we will encounter huge ocean current tangential shearing forces, turbulence, and shear stress, which will cause the Infinite to disintegrate instantly.】 Viola immediately warned.

"Then what if we place the entire train in an AT field at the same time?!"

"The whole train?" Kiki said: "Can you handle that?"

"No problem."
