Dragon Shadow(2)

The first mate held the steering wheel tightly, watching the temperature on the display screen rise rapidly to a scalding 80 degrees. The chief engineer could no longer bear the high temperature and went up to the deck. The engine roared like a monster, but it could stall at any time. The dam in front of them was getting closer and closer. Less than a kilometer away was the giant miter gate of the first layer of sluice gates. The Three Gorges waterway has five layers of ship locks. Through water storage and release, each layer can raise or lower the ships passing through the locks by as much as 20 meters. Those miter gates that look like the gates of the giant castle in mythology are the largest miter gates in the world, and each one is made of about 2,000 tons of steel.

"Navigation prohibited! Navigation prohibited! Approaching ships should slow down immediately!" The roar of the Three Gorges Ship Lock manager came from the loudspeaker.

The action of the Moniah was tantamount to suicide. Navigation was completely prohibited during the storm. The water level difference between each layer of locks was 20 meters. Even if the management immediately started to store water, there was no way to raise the water level of the next layer of locks by 20 meters. If the miter gates were opened at this moment, the result would only be a flood discharge. The huge flow of water would flow into the next layer of locks with a thunderous force, forming a spectacular and deadly rapids, dragging the ship into it. Given the speed of the ship, it would be shattered if it hit the gate.

The miter gate opened, the dam shook slightly, and a huge amount of water flowed into the lower lock. The rapid current on the surface immediately pulled the Moniach in. The ship reached an unprecedented speed of 70 knots under the dual drive of the engine and the water flow. But they were speeding towards death. A 20-meter-high waterfall was waiting for them in front, and the thing behind them was also fearlessly using the water to move faster than the Moniach.

Mance stared at the waterline, watching the distance between them getting closer and closer. The water flow near the herringbone gate had formed a chaotic turbulence, just like the muddy and rocky stream in front of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. The Moniach kept shaking, and the rudder (should be the stern rudder) could no longer maintain its course. The whole ship sometimes turned sideways in the turbulent flow, and sometimes rushed forward like an arrow. The thing also sensed the danger, and its long black tail rolled in the water, trying to maintain balance.

Mance held the railing with one hand and opened the ancient tin bottle in his hand. The tin bottle was sealed with a piece of melted gray tin and had been sleeping in an Egyptian tomb for thousands of years. Kassel College spent a lot of money to get it from an auction. The seller did not understand the true value of this thing, but the people of Kassel College knew it. They painted the entire tin bottle red, which represents "high risk", and kept it in the "ice cellar" with great care, waiting for the day when it must be used. When this day came, Mance poured the liquid in the tin bottle into the copper pot beside him, and he tied the copper pot to himself with a cable!

Severe corrosion occurred instantly. The gray liquid bubbled up like concentrated acid when it encountered the copper pot. The liquid crawled along the patterns on the surface of the copper pot, looking like little gray snakes frantically looking for gaps to get into the copper pot. The copper pot was hollow. After thousands of years of protection, it still retained a lot of air. Otherwise, it would not be so light. Now the seal was about to be broken.

The thing in the water screamed shrilly. He was furious. What Mance was doing was destroying the most important thing to him. He gave up fighting the turbulence, bent his back and plunged into the water, rushing towards the out-of-control Moniach. A grim smile appeared on Mance's face.

"Everyone fasten your seat belts!" the first mate yelled.

"Forward!" The first mate pushed the accelerator to the limit, and the Moniach "flew" out of the first-level lock with the turbulence. They passed the miter gate and stayed in the air for a short time. The first mate heard the engine stalled while idling. He did everything he could according to Mance's order. He grabbed his seat belt and closed his eyes.

The second mate heard Mance's roar from the stern, "Detonate!" Almost at the same moment, the signal of the last bomb was found again. Amid the "beep, beep" sound, the second mate took a picture of the detonator. If someone stared at Mance's eyes at this moment, they would see a terrifying scene of a huge mouth opening rapidly approaching. The two angry yellow, scimitar-like teeth were one meter long, and the other rows of teeth were as dense as thorns! The back half of the thing's body was still in the lock, eagerly poking its head out. Its dark and slender body could not be seen clearly in the dark night, and only the densely packed scales could be seen glimmering.

A series of sonic explosions came out of Mance's mouth, and at the same time, a violent explosion came from the body of the thing, and the flames it spewed out were like an oversized welding gun.

Word Spirit-A place without dust.

Mance's words issued orders to all living and non-living matter, forcing those things he rejected to move away from him quickly, such as bomb fragments and high-temperature flames. In a short moment, a spherical shield seemed to appear around Mance's body, isolating the impact of the explosion, but outside his shield, the scorching wind softened the steel, and the thing was also repelled by the shock wave of the explosion, and the slender half of its body shrank uncontrollably and coiled into a ball.

In the third mate's arms, the "key" suddenly grasped the little hand and cancelled the words to open the door.

The engine of the herringbone door starts immediately

The 2,000-ton steel gate slammed shut, and the 15-meter-long body of the thing was cut in half. A shrill laugh pierced through the turbulence like a sharp sword.

Mance covered his ears. He had never heard such laughter before. It didn't sound like a human's laughter, but it sounded like a painful wail on the verge of death, echoing in the storm. Mance didn't know whether it was the fearless spirit of the thing before death or it could only make a sound similar to laughter. But he didn't care. The thing had to die. This was his tribute to his students.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty Norton." A cold irony flashed in Mance's bloodshot pupils.

The Moniach fell straight down with the rapids and fell into the water surface of the secondary lock. Mance felt the same feeling as Ye Sheng did at that time, falling... endlessly falling, which reminded people of Lucifer's fall from heaven that lasted for nine days and nine nights.

"Keep going!" Mance's roar came from the stern.

The first mate's face was livid, and he held the steering wheel firmly with both hands. The second mate's hand pressed on the red button to detonate the bomb, and the thing probably closed its mouth, and the signal disappeared again.

The third mate appeared in the front cabin holding "Key". "Key" opened his eyes wide and stared at the tightly closed gable door that was getting closer and closer in the night.

"Baby, it's up to you." The third mate patted the baby's head.

The "key" stretched out his tender hand and pointed forward. His young body shook slightly, and a faint golden light shone from his eyes. In an instant, it seemed as if a huge force surged out from his hand, and everyone felt it.

A faint light suddenly appeared on the dam, and the herringbone door slowly opened. The baby's mysterious words commanded the computer that controlled the access system to force the passage open.
