Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Meng Tao was completely speechless: "Anesthetics really don't work on you?"

If the anesthetic is really ineffective and I have to undergo surgery if I get sick in the future, wouldn’t that be torture?

Lin Yuan understood Meng Tao's worry, but he couldn't tell him that he wouldn't get sick, so he could only say:
"That's probably the case. Perhaps a dose that can knock out a tiger might have some effect."

"That's good, otherwise I'd be really worried about your future." Meng Tao nodded and said, "How are you now? Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "Doctor Dobie has done a great job. I just need to rest for a while."

At this moment, Lin Yuan is still receiving glucose and electrolytes through drips, which is very helpful for him. As for antibiotics, there is no need for them as his wound will not get infected.

In addition, the debridement has removed the necrotic tissue, so his self-healing ability can be activated more efficiently. Lin Yuan predicts that he will be able to fully recover to normal in about 10 days.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Meng Tao said with lingering fear: "You are really fierce. Doctor Dobie used so many brutal tools just now. I can't imagine you resisted without anesthesia."

"I have no choice but to endure it. If he knew the anesthetic was ineffective halfway through the debridement, his hands would probably shake with nervousness." Lin Yuan said helplessly.

Given his physical condition, no amount of anesthetic would be effective. This was something that could not be explained medically, so he could only endure it.

This was the most painful experience for Lin Yuan since his debut. Although he had been injured while filming before, he had never endured "torture" for an hour like today.

He turned his head and looked to the side. The blood-stained cleaning tools had not been disinfected in time and were placed aside, flashing a cold light, which made Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel goose bumps all over his body.

Following Lin Yuan's gaze, Meng Tao sighed, "I'm truly impressed by you. This is simply the modern version of scraping the bone to cure the poison."

"It's a pity that this process can't be filmed and shown to the public, otherwise you would shock the world again. Everyone would think you are incredibly powerful, like a god of war." Meng Tao said again.

"Don't feel sorry. What happened today is enough for publicity," said Lin Yuan.

After chatting for a few more words, Meng Tao asked, "It seems that Lieutenant Colonel Louis has been guarding the door. Should I go and bring him in?"

"Okay, let's meet him." Lin Yuan said.

Meng Tao turned around, opened the door of the infirmary and walked out.

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Louis and Meng Tao returned together and closed the door.

Seeing Lin Yuan lying on the hospital bed and looking at him, Lieutenant Colonel Louis took two steps forward excitedly: "That's great, Mr. Lin Yuan, you're finally okay!"

He was happy from the bottom of his heart. Just now, when he saw Lin Yuan in danger, Lieutenant Colonel Louis was ready to risk his life and leave the cabin.

Now that he saw Lin Yuan was out of danger, Lieutenant Colonel Louis was happy from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to shout out loud and share this joy with all the officers and soldiers on the boat.

"Thank you for your concern. But we are not out of danger yet, so let's put aside the polite words for now. I'd like to ask, have the follow-up actions started?" Lin Yuan asked.

Lin Yuan will never forget that he risked his life to go out of the cabin to repair watertight compartment No. 7 in order to balance the buoyancy on the left and right sides of the Virginia so that it could float up.

As long as we can surface to about 400 meters as planned, the remaining watertight compartments No. 1 and No. 5 can also be removed from the cabin for repair.

Once these two watertight compartments are repaired, the Virginia will be able to surface to a depth of 200 meters and release a communication buoy to call for help.

"We are already conducting inspections and tests before surfacing. We estimate that we will start surfacing in another 10 minutes," said Lieutenant Colonel Louis.

"There is one thing I want to remind you of." Lin Yuan said.

"Please speak." Lieutenant Colonel Louis said solemnly.

"Just now when I was welding, the welding gun suddenly exploded and caused electric shock. I didn't bring the welding gun back into the cabin, but I guess the reason for the explosion was not the failure of waterproofing, but the short life of the coating caused by water pressure." Lin Yuan said.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Lieutenant Colonel Louis immediately felt awe in his heart.

He didn't expect that the first thing Lin Yuan did after waking up was to remind them to pay attention to the abnormal water pressure to prevent another accident!
During underwater welding, the outside of the welding rod is wrapped with a thick layer of coating, and then paraffin or other waterproof substances are penetrated to make the coated welding rod waterproof.

This can also effectively avoid the risk of electric shock.

However, when Lin Yuan left the cabin, no one had thought about whether the flux coating could still withstand the water pressure when performing underwater welding more than 700 meters underwater?
Under normal circumstances, underwater welding generally does not exceed a depth of 100 meters, and no one has ever performed welding at such a depth.

Although the water depth was a little shallower after a while, the depth of 400 meters was still far beyond the normal range.

Lin Yuan's timely reminder and the experience he gained from his life may have saved the lives of the two maintenance sailors.

Lieutenant Commander Lewis saluted Lin Yuan solemnly and said, "You Chinese have a saying: 'A great favor requires no thanks.' You have saved the lives of all the officers and men of the Virginia many times. We will always remember that we owe you our lives."

We are just a group of poor soldiers, but if we can help you in the future, no matter how dangerous it is, we will not retreat a single step! "

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Louis's solemn promise, Lin Yuan could not refuse and could only accept it with a smile.

I just don't know if this counts as violating taboos and infiltrating the world's most powerful navy?
"Lieutenant Colonel Louis, it's time for you to return to the command cabin and command the next self-rescue operation. After we are all out of danger, I will invite everyone to dinner to celebrate." Lin Yuan said.

Lieutenant Colonel Louis nodded: "We will definitely return safely!"

After saying that, he turned and left, heading towards the command module.

With the departure of Lieutenant Colonel Louis, Lin Yuan also lay down and relaxed completely.

He had done everything he could. This was the first time in his life that he had taken such a risk. Now, when he recalled that he had gone out of the cabin to repair a nuclear submarine under the pressure of 700 meters of water, he still felt a pang of anxiety.

This was something he had never thought about.

Even with his strong physical condition today, he almost lost his life in the accident. If it weren't for the group of narwhals being loyal enough to follow the Virginia to escort him, he might have really died here.

"Meng Tao."

"I'm here."

"Please write a note for me to record a donation of $5000 million to a charity specifically for the protection of narwhals, bowhead whales and other cetacean species in the Arctic."

"What's there to write about this? When you get back, you can..."

Meng Tao stopped talking halfway through.

He guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking.

This time, when filming in the waters of Greenland, although Lin Yuan also saved the group of narwhals once, they not only cooperated with the crew to complete the filming excellently, but also saved Lin Yuan's life. It is right to reward these friendly friends of mankind.

But it is not easy to repay them, after all, narwhals don't need money.

Donating a huge sum of money and allowing professional animal protection experts to protect narwhals and bowhead whales in the entire Arctic waters is the best way to benefit them.

For narwhals, the biggest threat comes from illegal hunting, followed by the threat of hypoxia caused by the Arctic ice sheet.

This can all be achieved through sufficient protection funds to achieve effective protection.

It is worth mentioning that animals such as dolphins, killer whales, and even sharks have a signature dorsal fin that looks like an upright triangular sail, which can speed up their swimming speed underwater.

However, cetaceans and dolphins in the Arctic Circle that need to breathe through ice holes, such as narwhals and beluga whales, do not have dorsal fins.

They need to frequently get close to the bottom of the ice sheet to find holes for breathing. If they have a dorsal fin, it will scrape the ice sheet, which is quite inconvenient.

It can be seen that breathing is a difficult and important thing for living in the Arctic waters, so much so that the dorsal fin was lost during the evolution of the species.

Lin Yuan knew that many animal protection organizations would use icebreakers to break up large areas of ice in winter so that underwater creatures could breathe.

This is very expensive, and Lin Yuan believes that his donation can play a big role.

But why should we write down the donation and the amount on paper?

Meng Tao guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking. Perhaps he was not sure whether he could be rescued this time.

If an accident really happens, the search and rescue personnel will be able to find this note when salvaging the Virginia in the future.

Miss Adams should respect Lin Yuan's idea and not let the donation go to waste.

This can be regarded as doing what we can to protect the narwhals that helped Lin Yuan.

Meng Tao sat down silently beside Lin Yuan's bed. He knew that the next period of time would be the most dangerous.

If it stays on the seabed, it will be safe for a short period of time, because the hull strength and water pressure of the Virginia have formed a balance and it should not break for the time being.

However, once it begins to surface, if there is a problem with the seams welded by Lin Yuan, they may break again and cause the Virginia to fall back to the bottom of the sea.

Then the sudden increase in water pressure could directly crush the hull of the Virginia.

This time, I may not be as lucky as before.

But if you don't do this, you won't be able to send out a distress signal at a depth of 700 meters underwater, and you will just be waiting to die.

What's more, if you are trapped underwater for a long time, you will soon face the dilemma of lack of oxygen.

Lin Yuan risked his life to leave the cabin in order to save himself.

Meng Tao thought for a moment and asked:
"Lin Yuan."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"It's almost time to start ascending."

"Well, are you scared?"

"Did you weld it firmly?"

"Of course! I have at least 500 hours of welding experience."

"Guess what I'm thinking about?"

"Why should I guess? No!"

"Guess what!"

"I guess you regret not having a good time with Depp at the Bangor submarine base. If you die today, you'll be very unhappy."

"roll!"

Meng Tao became angry and embarrassed.

That night at the Bangor Submarine Base, Lin Yuan went to Old Tommy's restaurant and ate cheese-baked Boston lobster.

Director Cohen went for coffee, while Meng Tao went to Flower Street with Depp to have fun.

Although the two men were in disguise, Depp's signature smoky makeup still made them immediately recognized, and they fled in panic.

"In your eyes, am I someone who is still thinking about what's in my crotch at what may be the last moment of my life?" Meng Tao said sadly.

"Haha, you're worrying too much. We'll probably be fine. I welded the cracks myself, I'm confident," Lin Yuan reassured him with a smile. "I've thought it through. I want a divorce when I get back," Meng Tao said.

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard Meng Tao's words.

Lin Yuan was a witness to the entire story of Meng Tao and his wife.

While filming "The King of Spy Wars", Lin Yuan learned about Meng Tao's wife's infidelity, and also learned how his wife supported him when he was at the lowest point in his life.

It can be said that his wife was once the light of his life. Therefore, after learning that his wife had cheated on him, Meng Tao was so painful but reluctant to let go.

But the huge pain in his heart caused him to become evil to a certain extent, and thus he and Depp became a playboy duo.

But a dissolute life could not make Meng Tao truly happy, as he was still thinking about his wife in his heart.

He comforted himself by saying that he was also fooling around outside and now it was fair, and he made a movie called "This Messy Damn Life" to express his thoughts to his wife in a tactful way.

Lin Yuan also starred in this movie. Megan Fox, who acted with him, is now a contracted actor of Lin Yuan Pictures.

This film is one of the few in which Lin Yuan played a supporting role, and it is not an action film, and it achieved quite good results.

Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to what happened outside the play. He just knew that the movie did not meet Meng Tao's expectations, and he and his wife were still lukewarm.

Maybe it's because broken relationships are difficult to mend, or maybe it's because after giving birth, women will focus most of their energy on their children.

In short, Meng Tao was disappointed again, so he continued his dissolute and foolish journey with Depp.

Now, he is finally going to let it go?

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's long overdue. I'm glad to see you've come out of your own haze."

"I don't blame her. In fact, I also want a child now. It's just that we were too naive in the early years, which led to irreversible consequences," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan sighed.

When I first met Meng Tao, he said that he and his wife were DINKs. Meng Tao also had a sterilization, but he began to regret it as he approached middle age.

The vas deferens recanalization failed, and Meng Tao lost his reproductive ability forever. In addition, he had been filming with Lin Yuan for many years and neglected to accompany his wife, which led to the ultimate tragedy.

Lin Yuan couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong for this chaotic relationship to last for such a long time.

Fortunately, it's over now.

Things that I couldn't figure out when I was trapped in the Kalonos Cave more than 1000 meters underground, seem to have been figured out today when I'm more than 700 meters underwater?

"After the divorce, I will probably get married again," said Meng Tao.

"Huh? Has someone chosen?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"Yes, it's Scarlett." Meng Tao said.

Scarlett Johansson?
Isn't this Meng Tao's running buddy? Could this also lead to a positive outcome?
Could it be that I have fallen into the trap again?
In the United States, getting a divorce is like losing a layer of skin.

"Meng Tao, don't you want to think about it again?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Actually, before this overseas filming trip, my wife and I had a huge argument," Meng Tao said. "I was irritated that she was focusing all her energy on the child she didn't give birth to."

"Maybe I said something a little too harsh, and her motherly protectiveness kicked in. She told me I wasn't a man and that no woman would ever truly like me."

"You know what? When I heard this, my heart sank."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife."

Meng Tao: “…”

"Lin Yuan, you stabbed me with the truth again!"

"Go on, then?"

"Scarlett happened to be right next to me at that moment. She rushed out and protected me like a hen. She asked why there were no women. I am a woman, am I not?"

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Do you know how happy I was at that moment?"

Lin Yuan was also unsure about Scarlett's feelings for Meng Tao, and planned to talk to Scarlett after returning to help Meng Tao make the decision.

"Scarlett also said something very harsh to my wife, which immediately broke through my defenses," said Meng Tao.

"What did she say?" Lin Yuan was also curious.

"She said, as a wife, have you ever really cared about your husband? I dare say I have kissed Meng Tao more places on his body than you have ever seen!" Meng Tao said vividly.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Damn it, Meng Tao actually showed off his love to me!
I have to say, Scarlett is more powerful than I imagined.

The image of Black Widow from the previous life reappeared in Lin Yuan's mind.

In this life, before becoming Black Widow, she has to become Meng Tao’s wife first?
It's really a 180-degree turn in life.

"Does she know that you can't have children?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I know! After all, we don't need protection every time." Meng Tao replied.

"Who asked you that?" Lin Yuan felt completely at a disadvantage today: "She accepts not having children?"

"Well, she told me that she was willing to remove her ovaries for me so that I wouldn't have to worry about the tragedy happening again," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan looked Meng Tao up and down. He really couldn't see what charm this fat guy had. How could he make the goddess in the hearts of many people in their previous life willing to do this for him?

"What are you looking at? From your eyes, I can see that you seem to be thinking about something very rude. Am I not worthy?" Meng Tao said dissatisfiedly.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I wish you happiness this time."

He sincerely hopes that Meng Tao can be happy. This partner who has accompanied him through life and death many times, Scarlett, has not had much negative news about him in later generations. Maybe he is really a good partner?
"Do you have any suggestions for me? After all, you are so experienced." Meng Tao asked humbly.

After hearing Meng Tao's words, Lin Yuan finally felt that the topic had returned to his main battlefield. He was really at a disadvantage throughout the whole day.

"Can you beat a guy who is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms?" Lin Yuan asked.

"What kind of suggestion is this?" Meng Tao was a little confused.

"Because there's a guy who wants to drink your wife's bath water." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"What the hell!" Meng Tao felt like the CPU was going to burn out.

What kind of nonsense is this? Is he stupid, or am I not understanding?
Lin Yuan smiled as he watched Meng Tao go crazy.

He knew that Durant would never be able to say such words in his lifetime, and he didn't have to worry about people being surprised in the future.

In her previous life, Scarlett was just a Hollywood actress, so he could use this slightly rude way to tease her with words.

But if Scarlett became Meng Tao's wife in this life, given Meng Tao's current wealth and status in the entertainment industry, Durant would probably not dare to make such a joke.

So Lin Yuan brought out this joke to make fun of it, and also to commemorate his experience in his previous life.

"When you get married, I will be your best man." Lin Yuan said.

"Best man?"

"What? Do you dislike me?"

Lin Yuan couldn't believe it. Being Meng Tao's best man, he might be the most prestigious best man ever in the world.

After all, the best man must be unmarried. How can there be another best man like me who is in his early 20s and has achieved such a high level of career?

"It's not that I dislike you, it's just that I plan to hold a wedding with Depp." Meng Tao explained immediately.

"He's going to marry Amber?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

A series of bad images flashed through his mind. It seemed that history had great inertia and was not so easy to change.

But in this life, perhaps Depp, who has a higher career and more wealth, can control that ambitious woman?

"Well, Depp is getting married to Amber. Will you be the best man for both of us?" Meng Tao asked.

"no problem!"

"Can I ask you to include the bridesmaids?"

Lin Yuan: “!!!”

Not only did they plot against me, they also plotted against my goddesses, Taylor Swift, Betty Boop, GAKKI-chan, and Yuanyuan...

"You can only choose one bridesmaid, and you have to find the rest yourself."

Lin Yuan could only take Liu Yufei with him to avoid digging a hole for himself.

"Deal!" Meng Tao said happily immediately.

"By the way, do you think that discussing this kind of topic at this time is setting a flag? It seems very unlucky." Meng Tao suddenly thought of this.

"Well, we will fail to surface in a moment. The watertight compartment will explode, and we will fall back to the bottom of the sea and be crushed by the water pressure." Lin Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Damn! Can you say something nice? I still have to go back and get married!" Meng Tao protested.

"I've just exposed Wudu, and you're setting a new flag for me! Oh my God, if you want to punish me, punish this fat guy in front of you. I didn't set any flags!"

"Damn it, God! I don't ask for anything else but to share his misfortunes!"

"This is deep sea, and you can't see the sky. Praying to the heavens seems to be useless? Maybe I should pray to Old Cthulhu."

"Gamn! Can you please stop being so suicidal? Don't get me into trouble!"

Time passed by unnoticed as the two of them chatted happily.

It wasn't until the door of the infirmary was knocked again that Lin Yuan realized that more than an hour had passed.

Commander Lewis walked in. "The ascent went very smoothly, and the divers' extravehicular maintenance is almost complete. We will soon be able to surface again and use the communication buoy."

Lin Yuan and Meng Tao were surprised that the Virginia's self-rescue work had progressed so much while they were not paying attention?
"Are we about to be rescued?"

"Well, we'll be able to go home soon." (End of this chapter)
