"What's the neutron radiation dose?"
Lü Yongchang stared at the ring flickering with an orange-red glow and asked urgently.
An incredible thought had already formed in his mind.
But he needed to test his hypothesis.
A constantly fluctuating radiation reading appeared on the Holographic Projection before him.
It was not particularly high, but it still reached dangerous levels for the fragile human body.
Although the [Poseidon] Exploration Ship had some Radiation Shielding Layer, such basic protection offered little defense against the penetrating neutron radiation.
"[Poseidon], retreat immediately!" Lü Yongchang gave the order without hesitation. "That's a radiation source! I repeat, retreat immediately!"
Inside [Poseidon]'s cockpit, Hope and Hansent saw the radiation warning light flashing ever faster on the Holographic Projection and realized something was wrong as well.
So, the moment Lü Yongchang gave the order, Hope stopped worrying about whether the propeller noise would draw the Deep-Sea Behemoth's attention. Without hesitation, he set the propellers to reverse and started the motors.
A faint hum rose from beneath their feet.
With the abundant power supplied by the Fusion Reactor, the propellers rapidly picked up speed, churning a string of cavitation bubbles into the liquid ammonia.
Deep in the Liquid Ammonia Ocean, the Exploration Ship jerked to a halt, stopping its slow forward glide.
Then, driven by its propellers, it rapidly retreated.
Under the powerful searchlights, the Deep-Sea Behemoth briefly paused its gulping of seawater.
It had noticed the movement of the propellers beside it.
But a moment later, it went back to swaying its head and gulping down the seawater in front of it as though nothing had happened.
Clearly, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride held far more appeal for it than this durable toy.
At the sight, Hope and Hansent breathed small sighs of relief, their hearts settling back into
