The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 207: Cleaning up the sea, what is the best sacrifice! (Shu Moliang's 1 rewards plus )

A rectangular launcher with multiple rockets arranged in a 2*4 square!

A circular launcher with multiple rockets lined up on the edge of the launcher!
A single rocket supported on a tripod on the side of the ship!

Shoulder-fired single-shot rocket!
Rockets of different models, ranges and powers flew one after another, drawing different arcs across the sky, like a weapons exhibition.

Shen Le was overwhelmed by the sight. After the rockets, there were various artillery shells and torpedoes, turning this operation into a test-firing event for various weapons.

Maybe it is.

After all, such a place that seems to lead to the underworld is very rare. Does the official also need to test the effectiveness of the weapons?
Should we thoroughly test the interference effect of this barrier on guided weapons, the interference and blocking effect on unguided weapons, the lethality of various weapons exploding inside, and its ability to purify the underworld?
Shen Le looked at the surrounding ships. Drones kept taking off, and unmanned boats rushed into the curtain with a momentum of never looking back.

Their ship also carried a large number of professionals, constantly receiving and analyzing data. Shen Le even heard someone muttering next to him:
"Why did you bring out something as crazy as a sniper grenade..."

The gray-black curtain was torn into large holes, gradually becoming thinner and weaker. More and more sunlight shone in, illuminating the rolling gray-black sea water.

However, in the deepest shadows, there is something deep and cold hovering, unwilling to leave...

"Using artillery shells to clean up is still too ineffective..."

Shen Le sighed helplessly. It was almost noon, and they still hadn't finished cleaning. Could it be that this place was directly connected to the underworld?
How to burn it?
"If there is anything particularly bright or hot, just burn it all..."

However, even something like napalm bombs seem to need a point to stick to, and can't just float on the sea, right?
Shen Le was muttering when a whistle sounded in the distance, and two large ships emerged from the crowd. Shen Le looked in the direction of the sound and saw several unmanned small boats rushing out of the belly of the large ship, rushing forward into the gray-black sky.

Then, from each small boat, dozens of warheads at least half a meter long and 10 centimeters in diameter flew out like flowers from heaven, were thrown high into the air, and exploded!

"It's so bright!"

Shen Le was caught off guard and dodged. He lowered his head again, covered his face, and cried. What was the warhead made of this time?
Why is it so bright!
"Ah...it's all filled with thermite!" Someone beside me clapped his hands and exclaimed:

"Our unmanned obstacle-clearing ship is really powerful! This wave of sweeps should clear it all!"

"I didn't even think of using this! I thought they would get a few unmanned boats, fill them with thermite, and then go in and ignite them!"

The thermite warheads dropped by the unmanned obstacle-clearing ship played a decisive role.

The sea surface seemed to be boiling, almost everywhere was burning, and a gray-black aura continued to rise, constantly colliding with the scorching light and flames.

Finally, the gray-black curtain was torn into pieces, shook a few times, and turned into ashes powerlessly in the sunlight;
The gray-black sea surface also gradually calmed down. After a long time, a few bubbles came up and offset the sunlight on the sea surface, making a small crackling sound.

"It's basically cleaned up." Shen Le let out a long breath. With a sway under their feet, the exploration ship they were on began to move forward without hesitation:
Drones, unmanned boats and unmanned submersibles have been there several times and brought back a lot of data showing that this area of sea has become "clean."

However, the final judgment still needs to be made by the members of the Special Affairs Bureau:

Is there still danger in this sea?

Under what conditions would it suddenly connect to the underworld, swallowing up ships and lives?
What else needs to be done to eradicate the danger?

The exploration ship dropped countless detectors, which were dragged along the side of the ship, skimming across the seabed almost inch by inch.

Buddhists, Taoists, the keepers of Mazu temples, and practitioners from various schools have tried their best to explore this sea area in their own ways.

Shen Le also went down to the waterfront platform, put the copper plate in his left hand and the compass in his right hand into the water, and tried to meditate:

If there is any crisis or hidden danger anywhere, please point it out to me!
The compass vibrated slightly, and the magnetic needle kept spinning in the water without stopping. After a long time, it suddenly stopped, emitting a gray-black light that fell directly on the copper sheet.

And Shen Le's spirit also expanded rapidly along with the copper piece:
As far as the spiritual power can reach, countless various light points are floating in the sea. Some are bright and blazing, they should be human beings, even very powerful ones;
Some are dull and calm, small clusters, floating up and down in the water, probably the creatures of the sea;

Some are...very dark, very weak, grayish black in color, but still persist and refuse to fade...

Shen Le had a vague feeling that these light spots should be dead but still spiritual creatures in this sea area?

As long as they exist, they will stir up the power of the underworld. If their hatred, pain, and despair reach a certain level, the power of the underworld will flourish, and such a sky curtain will appear again...

“It should be blown up again.”

"No, it's too inefficient to blow it up again. I think we should still hold a ritual to pray for the souls to be reborn. Something like the Ullambana Festival..."

"Ah, we in Taoism also have ceremonies for the salvation of souls! You don't need to come! You are still a lay Buddhist!"

"Don't be like that... It is our duty as the Mazu Temple to help the dead souls to rest in peace at sea!"

Shen Le listened with a headache as several Special Affairs Bureau personnel started fighting... Hey, it's unclear whether the gods you serve exist in this world or not, and you are not fighting for the power of faith for the gods, so why are you getting so into the drama!
A few of them exchanged sharp words with each other with a smile, and finally, the keeper of the Mazu Temple grabbed the opportunity.

In order to rescue their colleagues who had been trapped, a temple keeper was specially sent from the oldest and largest Mazu Temple. He was much more powerful than those in the museum.

She insisted on holding a sacrifice, and the others could only retreat in silence...

The temple keeper put on a full set of sacrificial robes and set up an incense table on the deck, and placed fresh flowers, fruits, and three kinds of animals on it one by one.

It was hard for her to prepare so much when she went out to sea. The three animals were a whole roasted suckling pig and a roasted suckling lamb. If the cow wasn't so big, she wouldn't have only carried the cow's head...

Everything was ready, and they burned incense and worshipped before Mazu. Behind her, two younger temple keepers rang bells and chimes and chanted along.

Incense smoke rose up, forming a colorful halo in the air, and from the halo a rainbow was cast across the sea. The temple keeper chanted songs to worship Mazu while lifting the three offerings of fruit and animals and throwing them into the water one by one:
"The vastness of rivers and seas is controlled by gods. God protects the country and the people, and has always shown his response..."

Under the rainbow, the sunlight shining on the sea seems to be a little softer.

Shen Le closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the gray and black spots of light floating in the sea. After this sacrifice, the dark color seemed to have faded a little, becoming more crystal clear and lively.

However, no matter how many times the temple keepers called out, no matter how warm and peaceful the waves were, there were still some spots of light that insisted on sticking to the seabed, refusing to move or accept sacrifices...

"We tried our best." After a long time, the three temple keepers, sweating profusely, retreated from the incense table.

"There is always something lingering in this sea. The ocean can naturally contain the netherworld. There is no way to make it too clean..."

"Then...you two?"

The director of the Special Affairs Bureau tentatively asked the Buddhist and Taoist practitioners. The two looked at each other, looking embarrassed, and no one stepped forward to take over.

The scale of the sacrifice at the Mazu Temple this time was already large enough, and the power swept to the deepest part of the seabed. Even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn't support such a large area!
"Then go back?"

"Wait!" Shen Le grabbed the railing and jumped up:
"Let me try! - Temple keepers, can you lend me some strength to let my words pass through Mazu's...domain? Or something else? To the past?"

The three temple keepers looked at each other and smiled. They relit the incense and candles and worshiped seriously. After the ceremony, Shen Le stood in front of the incense table and took a deep breath...

"Ah!"

This fragrance is so choking!

He suppressed his second sneeze, and while the power of the advent was still there, he quickly picked up a megaphone, pointed it at the sea, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"The ancestors who died in this sea!"

"Our compatriots!"

“Hong Kong is back!”

“Macau is back too!”

"The territories occupied by the British, the Portuguese, and the foreigners are all back!"

"Our navy has now been pushed to the NSQD! Our escort fleet has reached the Gulf of Aden, to the Arab territory!"

"Our fishing boats can fish freely on the sea, and our merchant ships can sail to any country in the seven continents and four oceans!"

"The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed! No one will step on our heads anymore! No one will use their own territory as a reward to collude with foreigners to fight against their own people!"

"What you just saw was our navy testing fire! Our warships! Our missiles! Our rockets! Our new weapons!"

"Did you hear that?"

“Did you hear that!!!”

"Captain! Captain! Show us the video of the return of Hong Kong and Macau! Show us our national map and the South China Sea map!!!"

On the deck, someone erected the largest possible projection screen, and someone else played images and sounds. As if they were keeping an eye on everything on the ship, the nearby ships suddenly blew their whistles in unison, and the high-pitched national anthem resounded across the sea!
Amid the shouts and songs, the compass hummed, and the magnetic needle had already left an afterimage. Shen Le was surprised to see a gray-black wave rising from the bottom of the sea, rushing towards the bow, rushing towards the soft golden light and shadow -

This gray-black color quickly split into two. One of them passed through the light and shadow for a while, and then the gray-black color disappeared, leaving only a crystal clear piece.
The wave turned around and aimed at another gray-black wave, roaring, beating, and swallowing!
When it became quiet again, the gray and black color of the seabed had faded so much that it was completely invisible.
