Moreover the nature that over time, it displays has also been changing, " assistant is replying, " feels...... seems that thing also to be in some evolutionary process, is unable to stabilize to display own attribute. " 「进行了最后一轮测试,现在已经可以确定,那东西虽然看上去像是铁锈,但绝非我们所知的任何一种物质,而且随着时间推移,它表现出来的性质还一直在发生变化,」助手回答着,「给人的感觉……就好像那东西还处于某种演化过程中,以至于始终无法稳定地表现出自身的属性。」 " Un.

" 「……平心而论,我一点都不希望收到这样的命令,」麦尔逊教授摇了摇头,转过身看着自己的助手,「勇气和探索精神让人类在无垠海上活了下来,但这两样特质一旦过了界,就会变成莽撞和死亡。」 The assistants blink, later winked third with the fourth eye. 助手眨了眨眼,随后又眨了眨第三只和第四只眼睛。 " But our present progress were too slow one-, if really forecasts with you are same, what to do has another submersibles to float again?

" 麦尔逊沉吟片刻,轻轻摇了摇头:「真到了那时候,要做的恐怕就不只是打开舱门了——我们得做好直面深海的准备。」 The assistants seemingly appear to understand but not really understand. 助手看上去似懂非懂。 This assistant was too young 11, but on the other hand, today half a century later, how many people also there are also to understand the Plan of Diving in the Abyss terrifying? 这名助手还是太年轻了一一但话又说回来,在半个世纪之后的今天,又有几个人还能理解潜渊计划的恐怖呢？ Mhere abdicates the professor to raise the head, looked that is in around the diving bell to these busy form. 麦尔逊教授抬起头,看向那些正在潜水钟周围忙忙碌碌的身影。 And some forms as if with on just island time was not quite same. 其中有一些身影似乎跟刚上岛的时候不太一样了。 But other forms, will then make this senior professor feel occasionally somewhat strangely. 而另一些身影,则偶尔会让这位老教授感觉有些陌生。 In this research facility as if there is form that many did not know unknowingly. 这处研究设施里似乎不知不觉多出了许多不认识的身影。 But there is nothing 但这没什么 Strange, in the research team presents the personnel movement is very normal matter, particularly complex special item of this need many expert together participation 奇怪的,研究团队中出现人员调动是很正常的事情,尤其是这种需要多种专家共同参与的复杂特殊项目 All are reasonable. 一切都非常合理。 In that hand raised the reverend of brass incense furnace to walk, abdicated professor front slight nod to express best wishes in Mhere. 那位手中提着黄铜熏香炉的神职者走了过来,在麦尔逊教授面前微微点头致意。 The incense furnace in his hand opens the eye slightly, is sizing up the appearance of senior scholar secretly. 他手中的熏香炉微微睁开眼睛,偷偷打量着老学者的模样。 Fumigates with incense the marvelous aura to flutter in the air. 熏香奇妙的气息在空气中飘动。 " Today prays has completed, " 「今日祈福已经完成,」 The reverends said in a soft voice, " I will come to here to pray for the machines at tomorrow's this time again.
