216: Undersea tour group starts

"Our design parameters allow us to submerge to 2000 meters without any problems. Let's just submerge directly to 2000 meters. Mid-way testing isn't very useful."

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's submerge directly to the deep sea at 2000 meters." Liu Xiaolin said, pressing the buoyancy compensator again, and the two began to continuously submerge.

It wasn't until the buoyancy compensator made a beeping sound that the two knew they had reached the limit of the buoyancy compensator, the seabed at 2000 meters.

This place was deeper than the 1500-meter seabed where Liu Xiaolin completed his salvage mission. There was a headlamp on the breathing mask that emitted light, casting a little brightness on the pitch-black seabed. There were still many marine creatures here; they didn't understand fear of humans at all and continued to swim around contentedly on the seabed, not even glancing at Liu Xiaolin and Engineer Wu.

"To be honest, I'm really a bit timid down here in the pitch-black seabed." Engineer Wu said, trembling, "I don't know what there is to do down here. Now that I've come this time, I never want to come again."

"That's because you're not interested in the underwater world. You should know there are plenty of people who love the underwater world. Our underwater travel group is meant to earn their money... no, no, it's meant to satisfy their curiosity." Liu Xiaolin accidentally blurted out the truth, then struggled to backtrack.

"Alright, stop trying to backtrack. We all know what you're thinking." Engineer Wu said with a smile, "The problem is, with this set of diving equipment, you can go directly to the seabed. Who would still take our Explorer II for underwater tourism?"

"You don't understand. Do you know why many people take cable cars when climbing mountains? It's for that feeling. Our Explorer II is much more comfortable than a cable car, right?" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"You're right, but you won't earn a cent from me." Engineer Wu said with a smile.

"We earn money from a niche group of wealthy people. Poor people can't afford the underwater world or Xingji Travel Group. Understand?" Liu Xiaolin said proudly, "Those wealthy people hold 90% of the world's wealth. We need to earn this wealth to do scientific and technological research, understand?"

"You're really something. So you developed these things to rob the rich and help the poor? I'm impressed." Engineer Wu suddenly realized after hearing this. So that was it.

"It's not really robbing the rich and helping the poor, it's robbing the rich for scientific research, haha." Liu Xiaolin said smugly.

"Alright, we're done testing. Should we go up now?" Engineer Wu said helplessly.

"Let's go, let's go up." Liu Xiaolin said, pressing the buoyancy compensator, and they began to ascend.

Twenty minutes later, the two returned to the small sampan.

"I still prefer the world of light. The underwater world isn't for me." Engineer Wu took off his breathing mask and took deep breaths of the fresh air on the sea surface.

"Each person has their own aspirations, you know?" Liu Xiaolin smiled, "Let's go, let's head back. Let's start organizing mass production tomorrow."

Early the next morning, an announcement for an underwater travel group was posted on the Wanderer Aerospace website: The Explorer II Underwater Travel Group will start next week, recruiting a total of fifty members. The group fee is two million yuan per person, providing diving suits, diving equipment, and a three-day diving training course. On the day of departure, participants can take the Explorer II to submerge to 1500 meters in the deep sea, then exit the submarine to explore the seabed. The trip is one day long. Contact person, contact number.

Netizens who had been following wanderer one closely quickly saw this announcement.

"Wow, two million for just one day of fun? This is even more expensive than the Xingji Travel Group."

"What do you know? Didn't you see the first few sentences? Providing diving suits and diving equipment, plus three days of diving training, isn't all that money?"

"Only we think two million is a big deal. For those rich people, spending two million is as easy and comfortable as us spending two hundred."

"True, but it's been a while since Wanderer Aerospace announced the start of a Xingji Travel Group. The underwater travel group won't be live-streamed, only the Xingji Travel Group gets live-streamed."

"Yeah, I came out and took a look at the Explorer II in the announcement. I don't even know when it was successfully developed."

"I heard that the Explorer II has already completed a particularly great mission, but I can't tell everyone."

"Why can't you say? Do you know some inside information?"

"I heard that the Explorer II salvaged an ancient shipwreck. It's really impressive."

"How do you know?"

"My uncle's cousin's third son works at the Ministry of Culture. He told me."

"So it's possible it's true then. People from the Ministry of Culture wouldn't just talk nonsense."

Liu Xiaolin didn't care what the netizens were saying; what he cared about was how many people signed up for the group.

As soon as the announcement was made, many people called to book, and Hong Tongtong proudly told Liu Xiaolin that he must take her on this underwater travel group.

Liu Xiaolin naturally agreed. How could he not agree to such a good girlfriend?

This time when starting the group, Liu Xiaolin learned his lesson. He told the Sales Department to register the number of people when answering calls and stop recruiting once they reached fifty people, to avoid the embarrassment they experienced with the last Xingji Travel Group.

Two days later, the fifty spots were filled. Men accounted for eighty percent, reaching forty people, and there were a total of ten women, including Hong Tongtong. These people were all wealthy, had leisure time, and were very interested in the underwater world.

These fifty people were divided into ten groups, and ten diving instructors were invited to conduct diving training for them.

The most advanced diving equipment, just produced, was distributed to everyone. Some people had learned to dive and had some foundation, while others were beginners with no experience. However, wearing this set of diving equipment, they felt no pressure and learned very quickly.

After the diving training was completed, it was the day of departure.

When everyone arrived at the dedicated pier and saw the massive Explorer II, they were all extremely excited.

"Oh my, this deep-sea submarine is too big."

"Of course it has to be big. Otherwise, how could it fit so many of us?"

"I heard that for this trip, the R&D staff added more than a dozen cameras outside the submarine and installed more than a dozen screens in the living cabin. That means one camera per screen, so it's like we're seeing what it's like to be in the deep sea."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly amazing. I can't wait."

Everyone discussed animatedly as they orderly entered the Explorer II and walked into the spacious living cabin.

The large screens all around stunned everyone. There were too many!

"Hello friends, I am the Explorer II pilot. Welcome everyone to our underwater travel group. I am happy to be of service. Please find your seat number and sit down. Our trip will depart in ten minutes."

Hong Tongtong had experience with interstellar travel, so at this time, she actively helped everyone find seats, acting less like a tourist and more like a service staff member.
