Chapter 1159: Chapter 446: Jingyuan Vortex Channel (2)

“The good news is that whether or not it’s due to the energy release at Chasan Island, that Evil God has reappeared.”

Lin Xian stood behind KIKI, who was operating the computer, arms crossed as he looked at Ryan: “Ryan, during your tenure at the Foundation, how many ’hunts’ have you experienced?”

“Three times.” Ryan lifted his sunglasses slightly: “The timing and process aren’t under our control. I only know that the intervals between these instances are roughly 20-40 days, and besides, once a hunt begins, for safety reasons, the base maintains radio silence for 12 hours.”

“12 hours?” Monica asked at this moment: “Wasn’t anything monitored during this process?”

Ryan shook his head: “There’s no way to monitor it, just like now, all monitoring equipment has crashed, and most of it will be destroyed. After each hunt, we arrange for the engineering department to conduct repairs and maintenance.”

“So the bad news is, we don’t know what will happen next.” Lin Xian said.

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Viola and asked, “Viola, have you calculated it?”

[Calculation complete, considering existing conditions, the preliminary estimated success rate is 13.67%]

“What success rate?” Vanessa asked curiously.

“The success rate of escaping Sea Rock Island.”

Lin Xian took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and immediately shared his thoughts.

“I found a passage that was probably used by the Foundation for emergency evacuation from an island while combining with the Sea Holographic Map of the Phoenix Society in this area’s sea. I think maybe we can use this passage to leave here.”

“A passage?” Gedi appeared puzzled: “This… This is the Pacific Ocean. The passage you mentioned is a… road?”

“It’s an underwater passage, right?” Ryan chimed in: “More precisely, it’s the underwater route of the Foundation’s submarine?”

“That’s right.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed. Chen Sixuan furrowed her brows: “We have to go underwater?”

“Using that submarine?” Erica on the Hawk Sea Group’s side was also skeptical: “How is that possible, with the surrounding sea full of Abnormal Bodies, how could there be a safe underwater path for us to take?”

“Yeah, logically, isn’t it more dangerous underwater than in the open ocean or the sky?” Ning Jing said with a stern face.

“That’s not necessarily true.”

KIKI’s fingers clicked on the keyboard rapidly, quickly bringing up a blue holographic sea map projected in front of everyone, clearly delineating the seabed topography and underwater sea paths around Sea Rock Island and several affiliated islands.

Then, KIKI pointed to a series of continuous underwater ridges in the southeast direction and said: “This is the launch depth and center path deduced by Viola from the preset launch paths of a batch of decoy torpedoes. It so happens that this path lies right along the main fracture zone of the Galan Volcano.”

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Qian Deli’s eyebrows knit sharply, her voice pitch rising: “You’re saying this evacuation path not only goes underwater surrounded by sea monsters but also passes through the erupted submarine volcanic region?”

Lin Xian nodded complexly upon hearing this: “Correct.”

Everyone at this moment had a strange expression, and many cast their eyes on Lin Xian, unsure why he had this idea.

Lin Xian’s gaze flickered as he directly called up Viola: “Viola, sync the analytical process.”

[Alright.]

Upon hearing Lin Xian’s command, Viola walked up with hands behind her back, her mechanical finger pointing, projecting a holographic light beam onto the Sea Holographic Map, and began to explain following the path

[Combining Federation’s 2035-2065 Pacific Sea Rock domain hydrological data, I found this path highly coincides with the ’Jingyuan Vortex Channel’ discovered by the Federation UNESCO Ocean Organization in 2029. This strong deep-sea current flowing along the continental slope can reach speeds of 30-40 cm/s, much higher than regular deep-sea currents. The reason for this strong deep-sea circulation is the enormous geothermal anomalies in subduction zones like the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, with hydrothermal vents releasing extremely high heat. Meanwhile, the North Pacific Subpolar Basins (such as the Bering Sea/Okhotsk Sea) experience surface cooling shape…]

“Viola, just state the conclusion, no need for geography and oceanography knowledge dissemination.” Lin Xian coughed lightly, interrupting Viola’s science lecture.

[Okay] Viola continued: [Galan Volcano is located on the fracture zone of the Pacific Western Ridge, with cliffs as deep as 6000-8000 meters. The nearest cliff area is only 96 nautical miles from the island. Beneath this sea area, there’s likely a gigantic vortex array driven by intense heat flux differences and hydraulic pressure differences. This vortex’s diameter can reach several dozen kilometers, not just a normal whirlpool, but a resonant stable super vortex formed due to continuous geothermal energy injection and constrained by special terrain.]

[If the submersible can enter this gigantic vortex array, and assuming the pressure hull material of the submersible can withstand tearing from high pressure, we can achieve extremely high speeds of 50-100 knots through the vortex channel. At this speed, it would only take us two to three hours to leave the dangerous area of hunting by Abnormal Bodies at Sea Rock Island.]

After Viola finished, the monitoring hall fell into brief silence.

Sha Sha’s face was grim. Seeing no one spoke, she couldn’t help but speak up first: “Brother Lin, is this plan really feasible? How come everything sounds frightening with that seabed cliff, super vortex, and Jingyuan Vortex Channel…?”

“Great, now besides sea monsters and volcanoes, there’s a super vortex too.” Qian Deli pinched her eyebrows, looking troubled.

“The success rate Viola mentioned earlier, 13.67%, is probably referring to this plan, right?” Luo Yang nervously gulped.

Upon saying this, everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Xian.

“Yes.” Lin Xian said sternly: “This success rate is very high, exceeding my expectations!”

On hearing this, Vanessa, Gedi, and others behind Ryan were visibly shocked, knowing that their boss, Ryan, often came up with crazy plans, little did they expect this Sword Holder before them to be even more extreme.

It’s hard to imagine someone linking a 13.67% success rate with adjectives like ’very high’ and ’beyond expectations,’ and the mental state of Lin Xian saying this.

“Hey, Savior, 13% isn’t 30%, why would you think this success rate is high?” Vanessa couldn’t help but speak out.

“Isn’t it high?” KIKI turned from her chair, levitating with telekinesis, arms crossed: “The survival rate is over 1/10, which is a lot better than one in a million, right?”

Hawk Sea Group members: …

“Crazy…” Erica widened her eyes, looking at Lin Xian like she was seeing a monster.

Ryan, however, was relatively calm, his gaze fixed on Lin Xian and the seabed holographic map, then he looked at those from the Infinity, finding that apart from a few individuals, the vast majority seemed… to have little reaction.

Chen Sixuan remained calm, Ding Junyi had her hands in her pockets, Lu Xingchen was sleeping on a chair, Da Lou stood quietly, Monica smiling, Shu Qin and Lv Chang were just a bit tense, Ryuji’s face covered by a mask, Shi Zhi seemed nervous…

“Sounds like a good idea. Although I haven’t encountered this plan, the Foundation indeed has a contingency plan for safe evacuation.” Ryan finally spoke: “A high-speed current like this, it’s almost like an underwater tunnel. Given the depth, we can speed away. If I’m not mistaken, there would likely be fewer Abnormal Bodies in such a high-speed current, right?”

“Not fewer, none.” Lin Xian said.

“None?”

“How is that possible?” Everyone was puzzled.

Lin Xian said seriously: “Not exactly none, to be precise, there’s one.”

He then looked at Ryan: “Ryan, did you forget how the Galan Volcano became active from being dormant?”

Upon hearing this, Ryan’s brows furrowed sharply, and the others immediately realized.

“Lin Xian, are you saying…” Chen Sixuan immediately asked.

“That’s right.” Lin Xian said sternly

“This trench abyss is the territory of the Giant Ocean God!”
