I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Everyone was startled.

Ying frowned: "Is the information really accurate?"

Ivan said in a deep voice, "It should be correct. I just notified the people trapped in the abyss and asked them to confirm. It shouldn't be long. Let's wait and see..."

At this moment, on the Abyss Sea, a small submarine squad belonging to the Third Action Group of the Huaxia Qianhai Base is gradually approaching the seabed of the Abyss Sea.

At that moment, the two submarine pilots received a call from the Qianhai base through their headsets.

"Haijiao, please respond. Please respond."

"Haijiao received."

"Haijiao, report the situation."

"Approaching the target location... Damn it, what are all these?"

Inside the command center of the Qianhai base, Hong Jianjun's expression changed drastically as he looked at the main screen, which was displaying footage captured by the cameras aboard the Haijiao submersible.

In the dimly lit seabed, the searchlights of the Haijiao submersible reflected an eerie blackish-red hue wherever they shone, and even the seawater near the bottom of the seabed gradually changed from blackish-purple to blackish-red.

The Haijiao submersible circled the seabed twice more, and the same scene appeared wherever it went.

Hong Jianjun said in shock, "These are all Destruction Stones... Destruction Stones covering the entire seabed of the Abyss Sea... It seems the news from outside was correct; the Abyss has been severely eroded by destructive forces."

Hong Jianjun whispered, "Haijiao, have you found anything strange or a tower-shaped structure at the target location?"

"Report: No findings found, only red rocks scattered across the seabed."

Hong Jianjun squinted and said, "Understood. To avoid being affected by the aura of destruction, you should return to your units as soon as possible."

"Yes."

“It seems the Abyss Corridor has really disappeared…” Hong Jianjun frowned. “Connect to Haiqi Island and contact the outside world.”

Inside the castle tower, a series of beeps broke the somewhat heavy atmosphere of the main hall; these were the sounds of communication requests.

Ivan immediately turned on his personal communication device.

"..."

"I see."

After hanging up the call, Ivan met the anxious and worried looks of the crowd, then shook his head.

"It has been confirmed that the seabed of the Abyss Sea has been completely eroded by the aura of destruction. Even the seawater shows signs of destruction, and there is no trace of the Abyss Corridor in the center of the Abyss Sea."

Xu Donghai frowned and said, "Isn't there any other way?"

Silence, and more silence.

Ivan sighed and shook his head, saying, "I believe there must be other ways. We must not give up until the very last moment. But a solution can't be forced out of us. Let's adjourn the meeting for today..."

Ivan adjourned the meeting and walked out of the castle tower with a heavy expression. As he left, Kage watched Ivan's retreating figure with a worried look on his face.

The next morning, Ying brought a plate of tea and snacks to Ivan's courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Ivan sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with books about the abyss piled up in front of him and draft papers all around him.

Seeing Ivan's somewhat tired expression, Ying placed the tray on the stone table and asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep all night?"

"How can I possibly sleep in this situation..."

Ivan pinched the bridge of his nose as he spoke.

After returning from the castle tower last night, he had someone retrieve all the Abyss-related information that had been sifted out over the past few days. He then spent the entire latter half of the night organizing and reviewing the documents and all the Abyss-related intelligence in his mind, in order to prevent them from missing any other methods of entering the Abyss. However, it was clear that this was not very useful, as there was no relevant information that had been missed.

Ying advised, "I know you're anxious, but you should rest for a while and eat something. You can't afford to overwork yourself in this situation."

"Um......"

Ivan knew that Ying was right, so he didn't insist. He picked up the pastry Ying brought and took a bite to replenish his energy.

After chewing a couple of bites, Ivan paused slightly, then muttered to himself, "I wonder... if Professor Han Jie has any ideas..."

The Abyss is also part of the World Tree. It belongs to the roots of the World Tree and is also the extension of the earth's veins. Therefore, the Abyss can also be reached through spatial teleportation. This can be known from the documents found on the stone tablet in the Kanria Ruins in the snowy mountains. The Kanria people used this to enter the Abyss and find the source of the destructive power.

The problem is that their research into space technology is still in its infancy, at the theoretical stage. They haven't even conducted any related demonstration experiments yet. Let alone creating a way to enter or leave the Abyss, they can't even perform short-distance teleportation on the Teyvat continent. As for completing demonstration experiments and putting it into practical use in less than half a month, that's utter nonsense. The Kanriyans spent many years researching space technology, and even if Ivan and his group were to build on the work of their predecessors, they absolutely couldn't achieve it that quickly.

This is why Ivan and his team didn't initially consider using space-related technologies to rescue the people trapped in the abyss.

But now we are almost at our wits' end, so we must seize any possible glimmer of hope, even if there is only a 0.001% chance.

After having breakfast, Ivan immediately contacted Professor Han Jie, who was at the headquarters of the Pan-Chinese Shativat Organization in Mondstadt, to inquire about the situation.

During the phone call, Han Jie said, "Using space technology is theoretically feasible, after all, the Kanreia people entered the Abyss in this way back then. However, the problem now is that we only know the relevant theories, but we have no way to actually operate it. Our current capabilities are not enough to create teleportation channels; we can only adjust and initially control some existing teleportation channels."

Upon hearing this, Ivan suddenly felt a surge of energy.

"Old Han, do you mean that as long as there is a complete teleportation channel connecting to the abyss, all the trapped people can be rescued?"

"Yes."

Han Jie on the other side nodded: "But the existing teleportation channels are basically naturally generated, and we simply cannot find such a channel connecting to the abyss in such a short time."

"Do not."

Ivan denied it.

"We have one."

"Do you remember? The thick fog that shrouded Longji Snow Mountain came from Heguan!"

Chapter 395 Survival in Desperate Circumstances

In a conference room at the headquarters of the Pan-Chinese Shativat Organization in Mond, a group of researchers and scholars, led by Han Jie, who were involved in space technology research and development, gathered together.

At this moment, they are having a voice conference with the research team at the Qianhai base, who are trapped in the abyss, using the signal tower on the island of Inazuma, thousands of miles away as a relay station, and Ivan is also online.

"As I said before, we need to first confirm the location of this spatial passage, and then confirm its stability."

Han Jie frowned and continued, "Although this naturally formed spatial passage was very stable before, He Guan has now been teleported to the abyss, so it is possible that the spatial passage has also been affected."

Hong Jianjun's voice came through the voice call: "Regarding this, the Qianhai base will cooperate with Haiqi Island and return to Heguan to explore again."

Xin Hai was also online and then said, "Some changes have occurred on He Guan Island after entering the Abyss, but the troops from Hai Zhi Island had already explored He Guan to some extent before, so this should save a lot of time."

"it is good."

Han Jie nodded: "After finding the location of the space channel and confirming its stability, what you need to do is set up a space fluctuation control device near the space channel. I will send the relevant blueprints to you after the meeting. With the equipment of the Qianhai base, the manufacturing of this device will not be too difficult."

"We will simultaneously establish an identical spatial fluctuation control device at the exit of the spatial passage on Mount Mondstadt. Once both sides are ready, we will activate the device simultaneously to amplify the teleportation channel. Then, I will input the corresponding coordinates to use the spatial characteristics to directly send Inazuma Mishima and Hata City back to their original spatial locations."

"However, because we need to expand the space to a size large enough to send the three islands, Qin Island City, and the Qianhai base back, the energy consumption of the space control device will be enormous. I'm worried..."

Han Jie paused slightly at this point.

Actually, compared to sending back both the people and the land, it would be easier to send only the people back. However, if possible, no one would want to return everything intact and resolve the matter perfectly. Therefore, if it is acceptable, the main solution is to bring back both the people and the land.

Ivan asked, "Mr. Han, could you please explain in detail how much energy is needed?"

Han Jie said, "The Abyss needs the energy of the entire Qin Island City, the Qianhai Base, and Haiqi Island, but that alone is not enough. However, due to the connectivity of space, the energy consumption of the Abyss can be shared by Mondstadt. But the problem is that if Mondstadt's exit shares some of the energy pressure of the entrance, then Mondstadt's energy supply may not be enough. Relying solely on the wind power station in the Wind Dragon Ruins is not enough, unless we can build another power station in a short time, but that is obviously impossible."

After a moment's thought, Ivan said, "Regarding the energy issue... I do have a solution. Inazuma Raiden General should be able to help with this; her lightning power should be able to fill this energy gap."

Han Jie pondered, "I see, Lord Raijin of Inazuma..."

Ivan said, "Yes, but she's not here right now. I'll go talk to her myself later to get her opinion. I think she'll agree. Until then, let's get started with the plan."

"it is good."

Han Jie nodded.

"However, I want to emphasize again that this plan is theoretically feasible, but we have not tried it in practice yet. We have only conducted a few very small-scale experiments before."

On the other end of the video call, Ivan said, "Mr. Han, I understand your concerns about security, but we have no choice but to proceed regardless."

Han Jie said, "I understand the current situation. I don't object to implementing this plan, but we must ensure maximum safety. No link in the chain can go wrong. So everyone, please do your best."

After the online meeting ended, Ivan immediately rushed back to Inazuma City from the island fleet's base and found Kage.

After explaining the specifics to Shadow, Shadow, just as Ivan had expected, agreed to Ivan's request without any hesitation.

Then Ivan reminded him, "The energy supply needs to be maintained for a long time, so you can't gather a huge amount of lightning elemental energy into one point and then unleash it instantly like you usually do in battle."

Shadow nodded and said, "Sure, if it is necessary to maintain energy output for a long time, I can set up a lightning field like I did around Inazuma. However, there is a drawback to the lightning field: the lightning energy in the lightning field is relatively even and cannot be concentrated on a certain point."

"You don't need to worry about that; the technicians can handle the energy harvesting issue."

"If that's the case, then there's no problem."

With the energy problem solved here, Mondstadt and the Abyss have also begun to take action.

After finalizing the specific action plan, with the assistance of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, the space technology research team began transporting a large amount of equipment to Dragon Ridge to build a space fluctuation control device.

Compared to the smooth progress in Mondstadt, things were much more complicated in the Abyss. Before setting up the device at Crane View, they needed to find the location of the spatial passage and determine its stability.

The reconnaissance mission to land at Heguan was also carried out by a joint team led by Qi Ji and Wu Lang from Haizhi Island and Qianhai Base.

Upon returning to the island, the same familiar thick fog still loomed before me.

"I wonder if that Thunderbird is still around."

At the landing point, Qi Ji organized his equipment while glancing into the thick fog.

This is where they left last time; there is a passage nearby that leads directly to the center of Heguan.

Just then, a sharp cry came from within the thick fog, though it sounded quite far away.

Goro shrugged on the other side and said, "I'm afraid we'll still have to face that Thunderbird."

Qi Ji sighed: "What is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be."

As he spoke, Qi Ji unfolded a map made of wild boar skin, which they had brought from Haiqi Island.

Due to the dense fog, the Qianhai base was unable to create an electronic map of Heguan's terrain. Fortunately, Haizhi Island had some maps of Heguan. Although they were quite old, Heguan had not undergone any large-scale terrain changes, so the problem was not significant.

“We have already scouted most of the Heguan area last time, except for one area that we haven’t scouted yet. In the areas we have scouted, we did not find any trace of space teleportation channels, so the possibility of space channels in these places has been ruled out. The only remaining possibilities are those areas that we have not been to before.”

Goro circled several areas on the map with his finger, and after confirming them, Qi Ji put the map away.

"Alright, let's go! Now is the time for us to survive in this desperate situation."

Chapter 396 Memories of Crane View

After passing through the passage where they had previously evacuated Heguan, the group arrived at the familiar cave once again.
