68 THE DEEP DIVE

CHAPTER 68 THE DEEP DIVE Our robot swam down down down into the deep, dark ocean. She brightened her headlights and noticed that debris was scattered throughout the water. Equipment and supplies had fallen from the station and were sinking to the bottom. The debris gradually drifted away, but the robot continued straight down, deeper and deeper. Roz heard a grinding noise coming from far below. The noise grew louder as she descended. Dust clouds appeared, and suddenly the poison tide was everywhere. She swam on, through the clouds, as the grinding noise grew louder still. When Roz emerged into clear water, she saw a steep mountain, rising from the depths. Strong currents blew off any sand and silt, and what remained were slopes of bare, craggy rock. Grinding across the mountaintop, stirring up those clouds of dust, was the mining robot.

第六十八章深潜我们的机器人潜到又深又黑的海洋里。 她亮了亮车灯，注意到碎片散落在水面上。 设备和补给品从车站掉了下来，沉到了海底。 碎片逐渐飘走，但机器人继续直线下降，越陷越深。 罗兹听到楼下传来一阵磨人的声音。 她越下楼，声音越响。 尘埃云出现，毒潮突然无处不在。 她继续游着，穿过云层，磨碎的声音越来越大。 当罗丝出现在清澈的水中时，她看到一座陡峭的山从深处升起。 强劲的水流吹走了所有的沙子和淤泥，留下的是光秃秃的陡峭岩石斜坡。 在山顶上磨磨蹭蹭，搅动着尘埃云的，是采矿机器人。

At last, after months of searching, Roz had reached the source of the poison tide.

经过几个月的搜寻，罗兹终于找到了毒潮的源头。
