Chapter 225: Unable to Break the Limit
“There’s nothing we can do. Our only hope is to find Mr. Soan!”
Gordon looked at Viclan. “Mr. Viclan, where are we on the pressure-resistance suit? Can we make it deeper into the ocean?”
All eyes focused on Viclan. He was the leading scientist in the world and the head of the Science League. The pressure-resistance suit the Himlian Pavilion had been using was created by his team.
The Himlian Pavilion’s limit was around 23,000m. Its mbers were only able to reach 32,222m after wearing the suit. It was the sa case with Phoebe.
To go beyond that limit, they had two approaches. One was to improve the Himlian Pavilion’s own ability, which would be extrely difficult. They were cultivators, and making improvents was much harder than working out. Even if they could make breakthroughs, they would only reach Phoebe’s stage.
However, Phoebe couldn’t dive any deeper either unless she made a breakthrough. It was easier said than done. She hadn’t made any breakthroughs for nearly ten years. How could she make any now?
The Himlians and the mbers of the Himlian Village were also cultivators. They had been practicing Himlian Pavilion’s diving technique, hoping that they could help rescue their Patriarch.
However, it wasn’t easy.
People of the Himlian Pavilion had cultivated for so many years to master that technique. Although the Himlians and mbers of the Himlian Village were also cultivators, they couldn’t do everything.
There was no way they could master the skill in such a short ti. Even if they could, they would only dive 32,222m like the Himlian Pavilion.
If Phoebe made the breakthrough, she could only reach 40,000m. Anywhere deeper would be impossible.
There was very little hope.
But if Viclan could make any achievents, breakthroughs would be possible. If the suit could resist more water pressure, Phoebe might be able to reach 45,000m. Going one step further, they might have so hope of reaching 50,000m.
Hence, his work was very important.
Viclan smiled bitterly when he saw the expectant look in everybody’s eyes. He then guiltily shook his head. “No. I’m replacing the materials of the suit. I’m trying to find more durable and pliable materials than the existing ones, but I can’t find any. I’m not as good as Patriarch is. I still have so much to learn in the scientific field. If Patriarch were here, I’m sure he could find the new materials soon!”
The Soleilian president said, “What you said is aningless. Just tell what materials you need, and we’ll do everything possible to find them for you! I don’t care what you do, but you only have five more days to find the new materials! We can’t wait any longer!”
The Pantherese president said, “I know how difficult it is, but it’s the reality we’re facing. Viclan, Ms. Soan, you’re all the hope we have now! We only have 15,000m to go. Can you reach that depth in five days?”
Phoebe was also attending this video conference. If other people had made that request, she would have ignored them, including the Pantherese president.
But her goal was to find Himl Soan. He was her Patriarch!
She would give everything to find Atlantis, even if it cost her her life.
“Alright! If we can’t do it in five days, I’ll force myself to dive deeper!”
Henry Lang imdiately said, “Please don’t, Ms. Soan! Don’t take it on yourself! No one can dive as deep as you do. If you force yourself to go deeper, the water pressure will crush you! We’ll lose our only hope!”
The Pantherese president only wanted to give Phoebe so pressure as motivation. But he wouldn’t press Phoebe so far that she would do things that put her in danger.
“Guys, please do sothing! We can’t put all our hopes on these people!”
“What else can we do? Use submarines? They can’t go as deep as them!”
“Can we feed them with so potion to enhance their bodies in a scientific way? Will that improve the success rate?”
Viclan shook his head when he heard the suggestion. “No, we can’t, not unless we have so very potent dicine. However, the more potent a dicine is, the more severe the side effects. It may do more harm than good! Moreover, we don’t have such dicine at all! Stimulants are ineffective on them because I’ve experinted on them before. The stimulant could only improve their depth by 100m!”
Everybody fell silent. Hormones wouldn’t work either. The pressure-resistance suit couldn’t be improved, and the sa went for the three divisions.
What…
There was no improvent at all!
“I have a suggestion…” A president of a small country sitting in the corner timidly raised his hand. His country was Canin, whose area was smaller than a province on Moon.
Everybody turned to the Caninish president.
Henry asked, “Sir, please share your idea with us!”
“I don’t think you’re going to like it.”
The Pantherese president was short-tempered. He bellowed, “How are you going to know if you don’t tell us what your idea is? Speak!”
The Caninish president imdiately nodded. “I think if we have a fishman here—”
Hearing the ntion of fishn, everybody in the room seed repulsed. Viclan was the only one who seed enlightened.
“Bullshit! How dare you bring up those creatures? At least 100,000 of them are still at large!”
So presidents were furious.
The Caninish president was terrified. Canin was a tiny country with only 10 million people. Hardly any country ever listened to their opinions. After all, any nation here could easily annihilate Canin.
Viclan said, “Please wait a mont!”
He interrupted the Soilian president and turned to the Caninish president in excitent. “That’s a great idea!”
“A great idea?”
“Mr. Viclan, what do you an?”
“Do you want to study the fishn again?”
Viclan shook his head. “I think that’s a viable suggestion! We’re not restudying it, but we’re using their condition to create a potion. The people of the Himlian Pavilion are already excellent divers. What if we turn them into fishn?”
