The auxiliary thrusters on the sides of the [Poseidon] shut down.
Under gravity, it began to fall freely.
It dropped more than ten meters and slammed into the dark, fathomless sea of liquid ammonia!
After a violent shudder, the Cockpit steadied.
Hansent quickly checked the Holographic Projection in front of him.
Once he confirmed that the hull was undamaged, he let out a long breath and said with a hint of excitement, "[Poseidon] calling Command Center! I've successfully entered the sea!"
Beside him, Hope had also recovered from the impact.
He deftly operated the Holographic Image on the Control Console.
"Starting propulsion system."
"Startup successful."
As he finished speaking, a slight recoil passed through his seat.
Driven by electric power, the propeller at the stern of the [Poseidon] began to accelerate.
It churned the liquid ammonia, driving the exploration vessel forward.
"Excellent!"
Lü Yongchang's vigorous shout came through the Superluminal Communication Device, accompanied by faint cheers.
It was easy to imagine the jubilant scene in Dawn Star's Command Center.
The corners of Hope's mouth lifted slightly, and the cheers dispelled much of the fear in his heart.
"Prepare to dive!" Lü Yongchang promptly ordered. "Keep a constant watch on pressure changes."
"If anything abnormal happens, surface immediately!"
Half an hour later.
The sensors were continuously transmitting data back to Dawn Star through the Superluminal Communication Device.
Meanwhile, the researchers on Dawn Star were rapidly analyzing the various readings from the [Poseidon].
As for Lü Yongchang, the Chief Scientist, that went without saying.
By then, he was thoroughly occupied.
And so, after half an hour of strained small talk, silence settled over the [Poseidon]'s Cockpit, broken only by the faint sounds of the propeller churning liquid ammonia and the instruments running.
Beyond the porthole lay total darkness.
Even the high-powered
