Chapter 256 – It’s Spraying! (1)
Squeak…
The moment Chen Yu pressed down on the ceramic button, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came from the cylinder. Two hooks then extended out from the cylinder’s left and right, the hooks seemingly there to facilitate the dragging of the large machine.
[No marine environment detected. Unable to expand.]
[Warning. The device cannot be deployed without being in a marine environment.]
Taking a step back, Chen Yu visually scanned the glowing blue cylinder and explained, “It seems this tool doesn’t have any mobility on land. So, for the safety of the floating castle and Light Island, I will bring it away. I’ll go change into the protective suit now, so please wait a moment.”
After saying so, Chen Yu waved at the camera before running back to the castle complex.
“Headmaster.”
“Hello, Headmaster.”
“Headmaster…”
The professors waiting in the foyer hurriedly greeted Chen Yu and opened a path for him.
“Good morning.”
After a simple greeting, Chen Yu hurried past the professors and disappeared in the Headmaster’s Tower’s direction.
Two minutes later, Chen Yu was fully geared. Opening the nearby window, he activated the plasma engine, flew out of the tower, and arrived back at the Earth Spray.
Boom, boom.
After giving his sturdy helmet two taps, Chen Yu grabbed the cylinder’s right hook. “The Earth Spray is incredibly heavy. There are bound to be many components inside, and it definitely isn’t as simple as the instructions made it out to be. It would be challenging to move this heavy object using human strength. The only two American transport planes stationed nearby are also too small to fit this cylinder. So, I’ll have no choice but to slowly drag it.”
After saying so, Chen Yu inserted both hands into the hooks to form a loop around the cylinder. He then activated the plasma engine and said, “I’ve fixed my position so that the tough protective suit will bear all the pressure under the engine’s propulsion, and no harm will come to the components inside the Earth Spray.”
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Following which, a blue tail flame weakly spewed out of the protective suit’s back, the flames matching with the cylinder’s light-blue body. Both Chen Yu and the cylinder then gradually lifted into the air.
“King!” Little Peach hurriedly waved at Chen Yu. “What about me?”
“Swim to me if you can.”
“…”
Little Peach grew anxious when she saw Chen Yu’s figure disappearing into the distance. Hurriedly, she ran to the airport temporarily set up in the Forbidden Forest. She then hopped onto one of America’s transport planes and clapped her hands at the two pilots in the cockpit, “Your plane is being requisitioned. Go!”
The pilots: “?” x2
…
Chen Yu advanced while referring to the latitude and longitude lines displayed in his helmet.
The sound of the sea breeze blowing coupled with the sky and blue sea in the background made many of the livestream’s viewers feel relaxed and happy.
“Earth really is beautiful. However, it is too gentle and has far too few tricks. It is far from being as fascinating as other planets. As it so happens, I received news that I might receive an amazing product once my access level exceeds D+. Hence, we should see products similar to the protective suit being sent to me in the next few official livestreams. If I really do get something like the protective suit, I’ll patch up the holes from before and complete our unfinished journey.
“We’ll go deep into Jupiter’s core, Saturn’s core, and even the Sun’s core. We’ll personally witness the mystery inside these celestial bodies.”
[There’s nothing interesting to see inside the Sun. The only thing to see there is light. I’m more curious to see what’s inside Jupiter.]
[What is that awesome product? Why would you need a better protective suit for it?]
[I suddenly have a terrible feeling…]
[Dammit! We also need protective suits!]
[Has anyone ever thought that the UP might actually be here to destroy Earth?]
[This is how civilization works. The more developed it becomes, the more likely it would perish.]
Amidst the tens of thousands of bullet comments, Chen Yu flew several dozen miles away from Light Island.
“This should be enough. If we’re this far, the island shouldn’t be affected even if this thing explodes.”
After glancing at the artificial island behind him, Chen Yu gradually lowered his altitude and stopped five meters above sea level. “This thing…
“Is supposed to be tossed straight into the water, right?”
After saving so, Chen Yu tentatively released his grip on the hooks.
Splash.
The cylinder fell into the ocean with a splash and disappeared…
…
…
“It’s not coming back up?”
After a long silence, Chen Yu scratched his helmet as he looked at the waves below him. “I think we messed up.”
The livestream’s audience: “…”
After hovering in the air for some time, Chen Yu discovered that the Earth Spray was indeed incapable of floating. Immediately, his complexion darkened.
“Dammit! This high-tech product can’t even move by itself?”
After carefully inspecting his armor, Chen Yu flew into the ocean and dove straight down rapidly.
Gurururu…
The moment Chen Yu entered the water, the world around him instantly fell silent. Only the sound of the water being agitated and evaporated could be heard.
“No need to panic. Haven’t you heard of the story of marking the boat to find the sword[1]?” Chen Yu calmly explained, “My situation is similar to that person in the story. However, unlike that person, I haven’t moved an inch from my original position. That metal cylinder is also hefty. So long as I continue diving downward, I’ll find it eventually.”
[I’m not panicked.]
[I’m not panicked. +1]
[None of us are panicking! You’re the one who’s panicking!]
[It also takes talent to toss it into the water without additional thought…]
[It’s normal behavior. After all, it’s a product from the 25th century. Who would’ve expected the machine is so unintelligent.]
[Waiting for the Earth to spray water.]
After diving rapidly for some time, Chen Yu eventually caught up with the sinking metal cylinder. He then fixed his hands on the hooks and stopped the cylinder from sinking any further.
“Let’s hope this thing can be deployed deep underwater. Otherwise, I’ll have to drag it up again.”
While muttering, Chen Yu reached out to press the ceramic ‘Start’ button again.
[Marine environment detected.]
[Liquid concentration qualified.]
[Depth qualified.]
[Warning! Width is unqualified! There is a solid environment nearby. Please move the device away from it.]
[Unable to expand.]
“Solid environment? Is it Light Island?” Chen Yu frowned as he gazed in the artificial island’s direction. “Even being dozens of miles away is not enough? Just how much area does this thing occupy?”
Pressurizing the plasma engine to the maximum, Chen Yu dragged the Earth Spray and continued heading eastward.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu felt that he should be sufficiently far away. He then pressed the ceramic button once more.
[Marine environment detected.]
[Liquid concentration, depth, and width are qualified.]
[Expanding!]
[Warning!]
Suddenly, an ear-piercing buzzing sound entered Chen Yu’s ears. The metal cylinder also started flashing with an orange glow.
[Expanding! Please evacuate at least 1,000 meters away from the device!]
Hearing this, Chen Yu released the cylinder and retreated without hesitation.
Meanwhile, without Chen Yu’s support, the cylinder started sinking once more and disappeared from the camera’s sight in the blink of an eye.
Several schools of fish wandering nearby also fled immediately upon sensing the radiation coming from the device.
One second.
Three seconds.
Ten seconds…
Rumble, rumble…
Strange noises and fluctuations slowly spread out from the dark abyss below Chen Yu.
After glancing at the changing values displayed in his helmet, Chen Yu immediately “flew” to the ocean’s surface.
Simultaneously, he had the floating camera dive deep into the ocean to let the livestream’s 25 million viewers get a real-time view of the Earth Spray.
Splash!
A dozen seconds later, Chen Yu shot out of the water and briefly wiped off the water stuck to his helmet. He then removed his left glove and looked at his watch.
At this time, his watch’s screen had already been covered in bullet comments. Hurriedly, he closed off the bullet comment display. And when he got a clear look at the abnormal situation happening underwater, an expression of interest appeared on his face.
