Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

"Knowing that you were going to leave the cabin, everyone wanted to come and see you off, and I couldn't stop them," said Lieutenant Colonel Louis.

The sailors on the Virginia stood solemnly in two rows, on both sides of the aisle, and the line was very long.

Their eyes were full of respect and concern, no words were needed, it was all written on their faces.

All human beings admire heroes, and soldiers are even more so.

Now that Lin Yuan has decided to risk his life to leave the cabin, everyone on the Virginia will benefit, and it is impossible for everyone not to be moved.

This is not the first time Lin Yuan has done this. In the rescue of the Kalonos Cave not long ago, Lin Yuan also rushed to the front without hesitation.

At that time, he used his courage to conquer movie fans all over the world and turned many of them into his absolute fans.

But Lin Yuan is not a rich man after all, and it is impossible for everyone to like him. Some people still question it, thinking that a super rich man like Lin Yuan must have an entire professional team following him.

It looks dangerous, but it is actually very safe. This is just a way for him to show off.

But today when danger came again, Lin Yuan once again rushed to the front without hesitation.

When such a feat appeared before the officers and soldiers of the Virginia, everyone felt an irrepressible excitement in their hearts.

They knew what tragedy would happen on the Virginia if Lin Yuan didn't try his best.

In fact, many of them have already despaired and started thinking about how to choose the five victims to solve the problem of the majority of people.

But this choice was so hellish that it made each of them feel extremely difficult.

At this moment, Lin Yuan stood up.

He used his actions to tell everyone:
Let me try, I will try my best to carve out a way for survival for everyone.

If I fail, there will be one less casualty on the boat.

No matter success or failure, I will be the one who bears the brunt!

This fearless spirit shocked everyone on the boat.

It is so precious in desperate situations, like a ray of light that reveals the ugliness in everyone's heart.

Everyone, including Commander Lewis, Depp, Meng Tao, Director Cohen, and all the officers and soldiers of the Virginia, feels extremely ashamed.

He was ashamed of his own calculations and felt guilty about his limited abilities. He couldn't even follow Lin Yuan to help him.

Lin Yuan understood everyone's inner thoughts and said with a smile, "What are you sending me? It's like I can't come back.

Don’t curse me!
I still have so much money left to spend, so I don't want to die.

I have so many close female friends and I don’t want to leave them to other men.

I’m a very stingy person and I definitely don’t want to share.”

After saying this, Lin Yuan waited for everyone to laugh, but the atmosphere in the corridor became even more heavy.

Many officers and soldiers even lowered their heads, and their eyes became red.

"What's wrong? You shouldn't tell jokes at this time?" Lin Yuan was also confused about the situation: "Give me some face, I'm embarrassed if you don't laugh."

If it were an ordinary day, everyone would probably laugh together to make the atmosphere less heavy.

But today no one was laughing at all.

Yes, it is different from our ordinary life.

Soldiers, even low- and middle-ranking officers, are just ordinary people.

No matter which country they are in, ordinary people have to work hard to survive, and life is not easy.

Although life was not miserable, it was definitely not wonderful.

But Lin Yuan is not like that.

He has endless money, lives in a mansion, has a private car and plane to pick him up when he goes out, and has female confidantes who make countless men's hearts beat faster, and there is more than one of them!
Ask yourself, if you were to live a life like Lin Yuan, you would definitely not want to die.

I will definitely try my best to survive.

Is this difficult for Lin Yuan?
Even without considering his own military strength, as long as he uses money to bribe everyone, if 10 million US dollars is not enough, he can spend 20 million US dollars, 30 million US dollars, or even 100 million US dollars!
As long as the money is sufficient, I believe no one can refuse it and everyone will be willing to give him a place.

Just pick out five unlucky guys as sacrifices, and the rest can stay here and wait for rescue.

There are sufficient supplies inside the Virginia, and as long as the submarine's hull does not rupture further, rescue will definitely be possible.

Then there is a high probability that Lin Yuan will be able to return safely.

But Lin Yuan never thought about it this way. He knew that everyone's life is precious.

Perhaps from the perspective of utilitarians, killing 132 people is necessary in order to save the lives of 5 people and is the "optimal solution."

However, if the two ends of the scale are human lives, they cannot be simply measured in number.

If the price of survival is the sacrifice of five innocent lives, then every survivor will bear the moral shackles for life.

Lin Yuan was unwilling to take this easy path, so he chose another extremely dangerous path.

How could the officers and soldiers of the Virginia laugh at this?

But Lin Yuan hopes that they will laugh, even if they can't.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha!"

A slightly awkward fake laugh was heard in the passage.

Under normal circumstances, this fake smile would make Lin Yuan feel embarrassed, but at this moment he felt warm in his heart.

To be honest, he was also afraid of going out of the cabin to face the water pressure of 723 meters and taking huge risks to complete underwater welding.

However, when the officers and soldiers of the Virginia expressed their respect and gratitude to him in this way, Lin Yuan couldn't help but be moved.

It is enough that his efforts and contributions are seen and recognized by others.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

Perhaps to cover up the embarrassment of the laughter, everyone started clapping.

Applause echoed through the Virginia's corridors.

Amid the applause, Lin Yuan no longer hesitated and quickened his pace towards the escape capsule.

Time is the most precious at this moment. The sooner the escape hatch is repaired, the safer it will be.

Lin Yuan's steps were vigorous and firm. He walked through the submarine officers and soldiers standing solemnly on both sides of the passage and calmly accepted everyone's farewell.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Yuan quickly walked to the escape pod.

However, he did not reach out to open the hatch immediately. Instead, he pulled out a sharp silver needle more than a palm long from his waist bag.

The sharp needles flashed with cold light, which was frightening.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, what are you doing?" Lieutenant Colonel Louis asked in surprise.

Meng Tao standing by seemed to know something and lowered his head sadly.

Lin Yuan had a rather casual expression on his face. He smiled and said, "I didn't use it when we were filming the underwater scenes before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now."

Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, Lin Yuan placed the silver needle into the hole in his right ear.

"Mr. Lin Yuan!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis shouted in surprise.

The next moment, Lin Yuan inserted the silver needle into his ear without hesitation.

A stinging sensation came, accompanied by waves of dizziness, and a sharp tinnitus sounded in Lin Yuan's ears.

Lin Yuan knew that this was the normal feeling when the eardrum was punctured.

The next moment, a golden system message appeared on his retina, confirming his thoughts:
[The host's eardrum was pierced by a sharp object, causing hearing damage! ]

The needle just now mercilessly pierced Lin Yuan's right eardrum, leaving a small hole.

Seeing Lin Yuan's behavior, the officers and soldiers of the Virginia and the crew members of "Lord of Spy 2" were stunned.

They didn't expect that Lin Yuan would actually pierce his ear with a silver needle.

"Lin Yuan, what are you doing?" Depp exclaimed, "Why are you hurting yourself? What if you poke your ears out and become deaf?"

"Meng Tao, you were so close to him, why didn't you stop him?" Depp began to blame his good friend.

Meng Tao lowered his head and said, "This is the price that must be paid."

"What kind of bullshit is that? Why would you pierce your own ears?" Depp insisted, grabbing Meng Tao and saying, "Answer me! Look at me!"

Meng Tao raised his head, his eyes red and bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said: "If he doesn't do this, he won't be able to withstand the water pressure outside the cabin.

Can you imagine what it feels like when seawater pours into his ears and his eardrums are ruptured under the huge water pressure? "

This practice of actively puncturing the eardrum to reduce water pressure is not Lin Yuan's fantasy.

The Bajau people of the Philippines, known as the "sea nomads," often use this method of puncturing the eardrum to reduce the impact of water pressure.

The cost of doing so is also quite heavy, which is that it will permanently damage your hearing, and in severe cases may even lead to deafness.

Seeing Lin Yuan take the initiative to pierce his eardrum with a silver needle, Meng Tao felt as if the needle was piercing his heart, and he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Once again, Lin Yuan paid such a heavy price for us.

Even though Meng Tao knew that Lin Yuan had no choice but to do this, his heart was still filled with endless guilt.

At this time, Lin Yuan had already pulled the silver needle out of his right ear hole, and everyone could clearly see the bright red blood bead on the tip of the silver needle.

Blood dripped from the tip of the needle, fell silently to the ground, and shattered into countless small bright red blood drops.

"Snapped!"

The blood drop made no sound when it fell to the ground, but everyone felt as if there was a loud noise in their hearts.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned red and filled with tears uncontrollably.

They did not lower their heads to wipe the tears from their eyes, but stared at Lin Yuan, wanting to engrave the scene in front of them into their minds and never forget it.

Lin Yuan, who was at the center of attention, didn't care about anyone's feelings.

Lin Yuan carefully felt the current situation and seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he frowned and inserted the silver needle into his right ear again.

If the incident just now seemed a bit sudden, everyone only realized what kind of sacrifice Lin Yuan had made after he pulled out the silver needle.

But this time, in full view of everyone, Lin Yuan once again inserted a needle into his right ear.

As Lin Yuan moved, everyone felt as if they were being pricked by the needle. Tears could no longer be controlled and rolled down their cheeks.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis bit his lips hard, letting the tears flow down his face.

The officers and soldiers of the Virginia behind him clenched their fists so tightly that their nails were about to dig into their flesh.

"Oh~" Director Cohen and Depp sighed, but could do nothing.

Meng Tao opened his red eyes wide and stared at Lin Yuan.

After Lin Yuan pulled out the silver needle from his right ear, he followed the same method and pierced two holes in the eardrum of his left ear.

After doing all this, Lin Yuan put away the silver needle and said with a smile: "Don't be so sad, are you holding a memorial service for me in advance?" "No! You don't have a memorial service! Come back safely!" Meng Tao grabbed Lin Yuan's diving suit jacket.

His voice was so loud, as if the volume of a speaker had suddenly been turned up to the maximum, catching everyone present off guard and startling them.

"Your mouth is so big and your voice is so soft. Didn't you eat enough?" Lin Yuan, whose diving suit was being pulled, seemed to dislike Meng Tao's voice being too soft.

Everyone immediately realized that Lin Yuan's hearing had deteriorated significantly due to damage to his eardrum.

So much so that Meng Tao's roar at close range sounded to him like he was not full.

Everyone's emotions became even more uncontrollable.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis stepped forward and hugged Lin Yuan tightly: "Be sure to come back safely!"

Director Cohen and Johnny Depp also stepped forward to hug the two and said, "Don't be stubborn. If you feel like you can't take it anymore, you must give up immediately."

Seeing this, other officers and soldiers rushed forward and hugged them from the outside:

"Source God, we are waiting for your safe return!"

"You are the manliest man I have ever met in my life. I am proud of you!"

"Thank you, you are my superhero!"

"I owe you my life, and I will always remember it."

Meng Tao did not go forward, but leaned against the wall of the passage alone.

Watching the crowd hugging each other, he rubbed his eyes helplessly and cursed: "Damn it, they let you be a hero again. You must really be a hero, don't be a martyr!"

Lin Yuan, who was in the middle of the crowd, felt like he was going to be crushed. Did he have to feel such intense pressure before even getting into the water?

He shouted: "Everyone, please don't push me. I haven't even entered the water yet. Don't trigger the liquid-filled pressure-resistant diving suit."

Hearing Lin Yuan's shout, everyone immediately took a step back and let go of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan held out his hand: "Give me the welding box."

Lieutenant Colonel Louis immediately handed the equipment to him.

Although it is adaptive training, once Lin Yuan can withstand the water pressure, he will immediately go out of the cabin to weld.

Being under water pressure will inevitably cause damage, so the best solution is to complete it in one go while you are in the best physical condition. Otherwise, if you drag it out for several times, the success rate will actually decrease.

"Bang!"

Lin Yuan pulled open the cabin door and closed it behind him without looking back.

"Add water!" Lin Yuan said.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

There was a sound of water entering, and the cold sea water quickly submerged his ankles.

The familiar piercing cold pain, but Lin Yuan knew that he would soon get used to it.

The water temperature at a depth of 723 meters is not much different from the water temperature at a depth of 200 meters during the previous shooting.

The freezing point of seawater is not without limit. Minus 6 degrees Celsius is almost the lowest temperature.

The seawater temperature at the bottom of the ocean will not drop to minus ten degrees Celsius just because the depth continues to decrease.

Soon the water level reached Lin Yuan's chest, and he began to wear a breathing mask.

This time he was not filming, he was carrying an oxygen tank, and it was a special deep-diving oxygen tank.

Therefore, breathing underwater is not a problem.

There is only one real difficulty, and that is the water pressure.

The water level continued to rise, covering Lin Yuan's head and filling the entire watertight compartment.

The next moment, the external seawater was connected so that the water pressure inside the escape capsule was consistent with that outside, reaching the same level of 73 atmospheres.

Whether you can hold on depends on this step.

If it cannot hold up, the external hatch will not open, and this emergency repair mission will be declared a failure.

Lin Yuan clenched his teeth, waiting for this moment to come.

"Dudu!"

The alarm sounded in the escape pod.

Indicates that Linyuan Unicom has entered the countdown.

Lin Yuan silently counted dozens of numbers in his mind.

"10!"

……

"2!"

"1!"

"0!"

As the countdown ended, huge water pressure suddenly surged from all directions.

Lin Yuan almost couldn't help but scream out in pain.

Fortunately, he had clenched his teeth tightly beforehand to prevent the sea water from flowing back into his mouth.

The golden system text instantly flashed in front of his eyes:
[Warning! The host is under tremendous external pressure, and capillaries in 23 places on the body are damaged. Do you want to check the damaged areas in detail?]

[Warning! The host is under tremendous external pressure, and 17 cartilage tissues throughout the body are damaged. Do you want to check the damaged areas in detail? ? ]

[Warning! The host is under tremendous external pressure, muscles...]

[Warning! The host is under tremendous external pressure, joints...]

There was so much information that Lin Yuan couldn’t read it all, but he didn’t need to read it either.

If the previous feeling of water pressure at a depth of 200 meters was like food thrown into a vacuum-packed bag, my whole body would be tense.

At this moment, it felt like being thrown into a meat grinder, and pain was felt all over the body.

Because the pain all over his body was connected, Lin Yuan could no longer tell where it hurt.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that the liquid-filled pressure-resistant diving suit seemed to have worked and he seemed not to have been crushed by the water pressure.

After strengthening his physique to the limit of the system, Lin Yuan's bones seemed to be extremely strong. With the help of the pressure-resistant diving suit, he withstood the huge water pressure.

This was what Lin Yuan was most worried about. If the ribs were broken by the water pressure and the sharp bones pierced into the internal organs, he would be half dead even if he didn't die.

That doesn't seem to be happening, and that's the best news.

If the chest cavity is fine, then the brain will be fine too.

This means that Lin Yuan’s most important internal organs and brain were not damaged, so the injuries he suffered were only external.

Although every part of his body from head to toe was covered with scars from the ravages of water pressure, new injuries were constantly occurring.

This can be seen from the continuous scrolling of new system prompts.

But his body's 20-fold super recovery ability also takes effect simultaneously.

The speed of recovery is definitely not as fast as the speed of damage, but it means that the accumulation rate of Lin Yuan's injuries will be slower.

Lin Yuan estimated that he only had 20 minutes and had to complete the welding work within 20 minutes, otherwise his body might not be able to bear it.

So, even though he had not yet adapted to the current water pressure, he still tried his best to open the external hatch and swam out.

After opening the external hatch, Lin Yuan’s first feeling was darkness.

Unlike the previous photos taken at a depth of 200 meters, which is the edge of the twilight layer and there is still a lot of light, the underwater area is gray and hazy, as if in fog.

Although the altitude of 723 meters here has not yet reached the aphotic layer below 1000 meters, it is already deep in the twilight layer, and it can be said that it is almost pitch black.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had a diving light on his head, which shot out a beam of light, illuminating the water in front of him.

However, in such deep water, the lighting distance of the light beam does not even reach 3 meters.

Lin Yuan could only rely on his sense of direction to grope his way towards the target area.

He was heading to watertight compartment No. 7 on the right side of the Virginia.

There was a crack about 190 centimeters wide, almost as tall as him.

As long as this crack can be welded, watertight compartment No. 7 can be restored to use, and the Virginia can then surface and repair the remaining two watertight compartments.

As for the other four watertight compartments, they were too severely damaged to be repaired by simple welding and had to be returned to the dock at the port for repairs.

Lin Yuan swam towards watertight compartment No. 7 with difficulty.

Every time he swung his body and paddled, he felt more pain all over his body. He knew that his injury was still getting worse and he had to finish welding and return in a short time.

If any accident happens, no one can rescue him and he can only wait for death alone.

Fortunately, all the equipment was available when we went out of the cabin this time.

With a pressure-resistant diving suit on his body, an oxygen tank on his back, and fins on his feet, Lin Yuan's progress was much smoother.

He quickly found the crack in watertight compartment No. 7 and prepared to start welding.

Although it is called underwater welding, it is actually not much different from the welding technology used on land.

The techniques used in wet welding are nothing more than the basic techniques of arc striking, arc moving and arc ending.

As an orphan, Lin Yuan did a lot of welding work when he was young. He needed to earn his living expenses and could not rely entirely on Vin Diesel, who was also very poor at that time.

Therefore, electric welding operation is not difficult for Lin Yuan.

He quickly got ready and prepared to start welding.

Simply put, it is to add a welding rod to the crack, and then use an electric welding gun to melt the welding rod and weld it to the crack.

The reason why underwater welding is dangerous is reflected in the underwater working environment, not the welding technology.

As the electric welder is turned on, the welding rod wrapped in waterproof paraffin strips begins to emit hot arcs.

Sparks flashed as soon as the welding rod came out, and crackling sounds were accompanied by a series of small bubbles rising up.

Lin Yuan knew that these constantly appearing small bubbles, each between 6 and 9 mm in size, were densely packed together, displacing the seawater to form a local dry space, providing conditions for the electric arc to melt the metal.

In fact, normal welding work is very fast, but Lin Yuan deliberately slowed down his operation and did not deliberately speed up because it had to be completed in a short time.

Because when welding underwater, the strength of the weld decreases.

The main reason is that alloy elements will be lost in the weld metal.

At the same time, because seawater causes the cooling speed to be too fast, it is easy to induce cold cracks.

For Lin Yuan, a secure weld is the most important thing; he doesn't want the watertight compartment to burst again during use. (End of this chapter)
