The footage starts shifting...

After the underwater ships were discovered, at least dozens of explorers almost simultaneously retracted their mechanical arms and transformed back into fish-like forms. Some started swimming around while others began to rise to the surface, with the view even breaking above the ocean surface.

There were certainly edits here, as more familiar-looking large ships quickly reappeared in the video.

However, these large ships clearly seemed not to notice these ghosts, allowing the explorers to capture many valuable videos up close.

Yes, at this point, the screen at the conference started to frantically switch perspectives, capturing nearly all the real-world large ships. The final scene, shot from a distance, clearly showed a plane failing for some unknown reason during descent and crashing into the water...

Instantly, many people couldn't hold back.

Because this almost cemented that these videos were real, not post-production.

People often say that netizens are the most forgetful group, with a memory span of only seven days. But that's because no one mentions it. When a familiar scene reappears, it can always accurately trigger some people's memories of previous news...

A similar incident did indeed happen a year ago, causing a big stir in the news at that time.

So this damn thing is real?!

A certain unmanned research unit in Huaxia recorded this scene at the first instance?

However, this was just the beginning, as the screen started flashing again...

More ships appeared on the screen; who knows how many similar mechanical objects existed beneath the sea. Various well-known ships started parading through the footage. Interspersed were all kinds of fascinating marine fish.

"Next, we'll embark on the curious ocean journey of our two explorers..."

The scene changed again, first giving a close-up of the two explorers, with their symbols and numbers clearly visible.

Following this was the route of the two explorers, which was rather mischievous...

Usually floating on the surface, whenever they somehow noticed nearby ocean ships, they would sink to the bottom, release a bunch of small mechanical fish, and start knocking around nearby.

Occasionally, in some very sensitive and key sea areas, they would intentionally stop. They would release a bunch of small mechanical fish, swimming around for days, doing who knows what.

Day after day, avoiding storms, heading west all the way...

Until one day, they appeared in a calm sea region.

At this time, far across the ocean in James Sterling instinctively covered his mouth.

He knew that sea area very well, and it actually made him worry if his figure might appear in the upcoming footage...

In fact, his worry wasn't unfounded. This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.

Because soon he saw through the edited footage a familiar ship, the one that a state legislator had boarded that day, appearing in the footage.

And then that familiar question drilled into his ears...

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the unmanned exploration fleet from the Huaxia Deep-Sea Unmanned Cluster Exploration Research Center, number..., and we have some unfortunate news: there's been a small malfunction in our navigation system. Could you please help us?"

The video was using English, fortunately with subtitles, and Dou Dou's voice-over thoughtfully began to explain.

"Ah, even machines make mistakes. After a long voyage, the navigation system has a minor issue, which I'm sure everyone can understand. The good news is, there are ultimately more good-hearted people in this world, and on the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean, we met some enthusiastic friends who provided us with detailed coordinates..."

James Sterling stared blankly at the live broadcast screen.

Fortunately, the footage of one of those shape-shifting monsters approaching to ask for their help was edited out, immediately followed by footage of the security team arriving. The footage included the entire process of transformation and submersion in front of the highly alert security team.

Including the sudden explosion.

"Oh dear, with hundreds of thousands of explorers in the water, even though our quality control is very strict, the harsh underwater environment after a long voyage could still irreversibly damage the battery.

Furthermore, to study geological features, the explorers carried a small amount of dangerous materials, so an accident occurred, fortunately without any casualties. But I, Dou Dou, can assure you that such incidents in the future will be controllable.

We will definitely further improve quality standards and ensure that no accident could harm humans in any way. In short, after the Arlington-based security team provided us with correct coordinates, our explorers have successfully repositioned..."

The final scene froze below the sea surface, with hundreds of small mechanical fish still busily working around the two carriers until the lights gradually dimmed and finally went completely dark.

Attentive viewers already noticed a string of coordinates left on the last frame, latitude: 39.1500° N, longitude: 75.3500° W...

In the internet age, it's not hard to look up an address with coordinates. Heaven knows how many people immediately reacted, entered these coordinates into software, and quickly found the location represented by these coordinates on the map...

Then more people fell silent, Delaware Bay? Right next to Philadelphia?
