Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

On the big screen, Lin Yuan pulled open the hatch of the escape pod.

"Bang!"

Without looking back, he resolutely walked into the escape cabin and closed the door with his backhand.

"Add water." Lin Yuan's voice was calm and firm.

"Clatter, crash, crash -"

The freezing cold sea water rushed in from the pipe, instantly submerging his ankles.

Lin Yuan shuddered suddenly and his body trembled slightly. It was obvious that the water temperature was very low.

In the close-up shot, the thermometer in the escape capsule showed that the water temperature was minus 6 degrees Celsius.

In the cinema, the audience held their breath and stared at the screen nervously.

"We've finally waited for this scene! The trailer ended abruptly as Lin Yuan closed the door. Now we can finally know what happened next!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"What are they doing? Why are they pouring water into the escape pod?" someone asked in confusion.

"The escape capsule is a transition capsule, similar to the docking capsule of a space station. Haven't you seen science fiction movies?" the person next to him explained.

"How can the water temperature be minus 6 degrees Celsius? Doesn't water freeze at zero degrees?"

"That's the freezing point of pure water. The water in the deep sea has a high salt content, and coupled with the high pressure environment, the freezing point will be lowered. In extreme cases, it can even reach minus ten degrees Celsius."

"This is outrageous! Jack in Titanic froze to death in water at two or three degrees Celsius, and Lin Yuan actually had to endure such low temperatures!"

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the escape pod.

"Dudu!"

"What happened? Did the escape pod malfunction?" asked a viewer.

"I don't know, it seems like it's going to connect to the outside sea water." Another audience member replied.

“What will happen after the connection?”

"It will make Lin Yuan instantly withstand 74 atmospheres of water pressure."

Hearing this, the audience immediately became nervous.

Even if you don't have any scientific knowledge, you can know how terrible more than 70 atmospheres of pressure are. After all, it is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people to withstand the pressure of sea water more than 700 meters deep.

On the big screen, Lin Yuan's expression suddenly twisted, and his pain was obvious.

He clenched his teeth and swallowed back the cry that was about to burst out.

He must not open his mouth, or the sea water would rush into his lungs.

Although there is no sound, the audience can still feel the extreme pressure Lin Yuan is under from the picture:
His wetsuit clung to his body like vacuum-packed food;

The hydraulic pressure-resistant liquid pipes twisted and deformed like bulging blood vessels.

The entire theater was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, fearing that Lin Yuan would be crushed by the water pressure in the next second, and his broken ribs would pierce his internal organs like sharp blades.

Liu Yufei held Lin Yuan's hand tightly, her palms full of cold sweat.

Her eyes were full of worry and heartache.

"It's okay, just some capillaries are broken and cartilage tissue is damaged." Lin Yuan comforted.

Seeing Liu Yufei's disbelief, Lin Yuan whispered in her ear:
"You know, my body has very good self-healing abilities. So even though it's a little damaged, I can still handle it. It's just a little painful, that's all."

"Is it just a little painful? I heard that being squeezed by such strong water pressure is like being pricked by countless needles. It's simply torture..." Liu Yufei's voice was a little choked.

"It's nothing, it's all over. It's worth it to endure a little hardship in exchange for everyone's safe escape."

"I know, but I'm just sad."

Liu Yufei's eyes were red and she was about to cry again.

Lin Yuan quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Liu Yufei held his hand and said, "I feel both distressed and proud."

The tacit understanding between the two of them needed no words, Lin Yuan knew what she wanted to express.

I feel sorry for my boyfriend and proud that he is a hero.

Not only Liu Yufei thought so, but the audience at the scene also thought so.

Someone started clapping a few times, and the entire theater erupted in thunderous applause again:

"I just can't bear to see such scenes. I want to cry as soon as I see them."

"How much pain must Lin Yuan be in right now? It feels like being cut into pieces, right? If it weren't for saving everyone, he wouldn't have to endure this kind of pain."

"No wonder he had to pierce his eardrum with a silver needle before leaving the cabin. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear it now. It's really too tragic."

"Hundreds of years ago, Lin Yuan's behavior should have earned him the title of 'Holy Son'."

"I also admire Lin Yuan, but he's not a Christian, right?"

"Regardless of what he believes in, such courage and dedication should absolutely be enshrined anywhere in the world."

"I agree, he is a true hero and a hero that belongs to the world."

"Can Lin Yuan really withstand such water pressure?"

"Why is he so motionless? Could he be injured and unconscious?"

"It's too dangerous. If you can't hold on, go back!"

At this moment, Lin Yuan on the big screen suddenly reached out and pulled down the opening handle.

The door of the escape pod opened silently.

The audience looks outside the submarine through the camera's perspective.

There was only darkness outside the cabin, a very deep darkness that even light could not dispel.

The strong light above Lin Yuan's head could only illuminate a distance of less than three meters, and there was an endless abyss all around.

Visibility was extremely low, and Lin Yuan could only rely on his vague sense of direction to grope his way towards watertight compartment No. 7 on the right side of the submarine.

In the camera, his swimming posture was a bit stiff, giving people an especially awkward feeling.

It didn't take much explanation, everyone knew this was unusual.

In the past, Lin Yuan has shown swimming scenes in many movies, and his posture was extremely smooth and graceful every time, which even made many people wonder whether Lin Yuan was an amphibian that grew in water.

When have you ever seen him swim so stiffly?

It only proved that the huge water pressure was continuing to torture him, causing him to endure more severe pain every time he swung his body to swim.

Lin Yuan's figure seemed particularly lonely in the darkness, yet extremely determined.

In the cinema, applause rang out again and lasted for a long time.

Liu Yufei couldn't remember how many times she had received applause today, but it was definitely more than any previous Lin Yuan movie.

At this time, "King of Spy 2" had not yet been released, so the audience naturally had not seen the scene where Lin Yuan went out of the cabin to film.

This was the first time they had seen it, and also the first time in human imaging history, that someone had exited a cabin at such a deep seabed.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, human beings seem so insignificant.

Even Lin Yuan, who was considered omnipotent and never failed by everyone, could only swim clumsily at this moment.

He is like a candle swaying in the wind, ready to be swallowed by the waves at any moment. But it is precisely because of his smallness that his courage and greatness are highlighted.

On the big screen, Lin Yuan clumsily found the crack in watertight compartment No. 7.

He took out the welding rod and started welding.

I saw a hot arc coming out of the welding gun, and a series of dense small bubbles quickly rose up with crackling sounds.

Under the cover of this series of bubbles, the welding rods began to melt and slowly filled the cracks in the watertight compartment.

Lin Yuan's movements were not fast, but very steady, and he seemed calm and unhurried.

Here are some things you must pay attention to when welding underwater, especially deep sea welding:

That is, we must be careful to prevent the reduction of welding strength.

Underwater welding can cause the loss of alloying elements in the weld and lead to cold cracks due to the rapid cooling of seawater.

It can be said that the strength decreases by 30% when welding underwater.

This is a high ratio. Lin Yuan doesn't want the cracks to suddenly burst when the Virginia surfaces, causing the submarine to fall to the bottom of the sea again.

If this happened, I'm afraid everyone on the Virginia would be doomed.

After all, the submarine's hull has long been overwhelmed. Even if it can withstand one fall, it may not be able to withstand it again.

After carefully welding the cracks, Lin Yuan did not return immediately, but carried out a second reinforcement.

After reinforcing several suspected vulnerable points, Lin Yuan prepared to call it a day and return home.

At this moment, the accident happened.

The head of the welding gun in Lin Yuan's hand suddenly exploded, splashing out countless sparks and bubbles.

People who don’t know the situation might even think that the water is boiling.

All the audience in the theater saw that a deep blue arc of electricity hit Lin Yuan's right chest, leaving a charred wound.

Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed:
"What happened? Did the welding gun explode? Did Lin Yuan get electrocuted?"

"Look at the footage captured by the unmanned underwater vehicle. Look at the wound on Lin Yuan's right chest. It's all black."

"Burned? How could such a small arc cause so much damage?"

"I'm a dermatologist, so I have my say on this issue. Electrical burns are terrible. The current goes in and out, leaving two wounds.

The wound at the entrance of the electric current was dark and deep, with obvious burn symptoms.

"But the real trouble lies inside and where the current exits. The muscles and soft tissue inside will explode, causing wounds to rupture and internal bleeding, and the body will be a complete mess." An audience member claiming to be a dermatologist explained.

"I finally know how Lin Yuan got injured. When I watched the press conference before, I was always worried about what Lin Yuan was injured. Now that I see the truth, it's even more exaggerated than I imagined."

"Is Lin Yuan okay? Why isn't he moving? He hasn't even breathed, and there's no air bubbles to be seen!"

The audience's hearts were in their throats and they were extremely anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense! Isn't Lin Yuan fine now? He may just have a lung muscle spasm after the electric shock. Wait a little longer, maybe he will recover in a while." An audience member tried to comfort everyone.

On the big screen, Lin Yuan's actions seemed to confirm this statement.

His fingers trembled slightly, then slowly lifted up, as if trying to regain control of his body.

The audience held their breath, waiting for his next move.

Lin Yuan swam towards the escape pod little by little, more difficultly and clumsily than before.

It is said to be "swimming", but it is actually "climbing".

Every movement he made seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he could only move back bit by bit.

At this time, the camera turned to the command cabin of the Virginia, and the cabin was filled with sobbing sounds.

These soldiers, who are usually strong-willed, are crying like a tearful person at this moment.

Lin Yuan at this moment looked like a soldier who was seriously injured on the battlefield, trying his best to crawl to a safe place and save his life.

When have you ever seen Lin Yuan so miserable?

This can't even be described as embarrassing, but rather a last-ditch struggle.

Perhaps Lin Yuan was seriously injured, or his physical strength was completely exhausted, and his movements became slower and slower.

At the beginning, it could move forward every two or three seconds, but later it could only move forward every five or six seconds.

In the end, he was unable to move for more than ten seconds and completely lost the ability to move.

Seeing this scene, the audience's tension reached its peak.

Everyone could see that Lin Yuan was at the end of his strength and had almost lost the ability to save himself.

If he is not rescued, he will soon sleep forever in the cold and dark seabed.

"Lin Yuan was seriously injured. He couldn't go back by himself. Why didn't anyone save him?" an audience member shouted with red eyes.

“Because there is no way to save him.”

“Why can’t we save him?”

"Others don't have Lin Yuan's physical fitness. If they go out of the cabin to rescue Lin Yuan, they might die before they save him."

"We can't just watch Lin Yuan die like this!"

On the big screen, Meng Tao grabbed Lieutenant Colonel Louis and said, "I remember there are diving suits, right? Give me one!"
I know there's a high probability that I'll die, but I don't care!

Rather than watching him die like this, I would rather die with him."

Lieutenant Colonel Louis turned to look at his adjutant: "Prepare two diving suits."

"Ok?"

"I'm the captain of the Virginia, how can I let you go alone?

"I'll go out with you. If we're not crushed by the water pressure right away, we'll fight to the death to get Lin Yuan back," said Lieutenant Colonel Louis.

"Lin Yuan has repaired the watertight compartment, and the Virginia can now surface." Meng Tao said, "The Virginia needs you now. You are the captain, and you can't just go and die with me."

"I've handed over the responsibility to the deputy captain. If something happens to me, he'll lead everyone in rescuing themselves. I'm gambling my life with you."

The two hugged each other. At this moment, they lived and died together for the same goal.

This scene moved all the audience in the theater, and there was a buzz in the theater:

"I wanted to cry. Lin Yuan risked his life for everyone, and when he was in deep danger, everyone was equally determined, never giving up, no matter how great the risk to their lives."

A middle-aged man in his forties sighed:
"I have always believed that the relationship between people is only based on interests, but I have failed to see that the most sincere thing between human beings is love.

I want to thank the crew and the officers and soldiers represented by Lieutenant Colonel Louis. You have helped me understand the darkness in my heart."

"I'm so moved. Is this the most beautiful friendship between people?"

On the big screen, just as the two of them had opened the escape hatch, walked into the escape hatch and were about to close the door.

Several sailors rushed over, including Commander Meng Tao and Commander Louis: "Captain, come back quickly! Lin Yuan is saved!"

saved?
Can you be rescued in the deep sea?

Is it Godzilla? Or Cthulhu? Or maybe Patrick Star and SpongeBob?

A huge question loomed over the audience. (End of this chapter)
