Chapter 96

It was found in the U.S. military database that the four things were actually parts on the engine of MiG fighter.

Asked me what the lollipop man was. I said how did I know where he came from? Ah Wei went to find the agent of the supernatural hunting team who had seen this man. After checking for a long time, he couldn't find any clues, because there was something more important at hand, so he had to give up.

Next is a two-week training on diving skills and the use of deep-sea equipment. After that, we immediately set out from the Hawaii naval base and sailed to the Phoenix Islands. For this operation, the US Navy dispatched a total of one destroyer, one large supply ship, four large marine research ships and two submarines. Holding coffee and facing the sea breeze, standing in the bow of the Burke class missile destroyer and looking at the majestic warships lined up in line, I can't help but sigh that there are so many benefits to participate in the operation with the Yamen people. In this way, we braved the wind and waves in the blue sea and blue sky of the Pacific Ocean and came to the waters where the naval battle was recorded in the US Navy data.

After the coordinates were basically determined, the sonar of several ships began to work. First, the terrain of the seabed was simply drawn. Generally speaking, the main topography of the seabed can be divided into three types: continental margin, ocean basin and mid ocean ridge. What we are exploring is a typical mid ocean ridge terrain, which is actually a mountain range under the sea. The length, height, scale, coverage and complexity of the mountains under the ocean are far unmatched by those on land.

Iceland, as we know it, was formed when the crest of the mid ocean ridge arched out of the water. In addition, the Hawaiian Islands are also formed by many submarine peaks above the water surface under this terrain. Some peaks rise from the seabed of more than 5000 meters, and the part beyond the water surface will reach more than 4000 meters. If converted into absolute height, I'm afraid Everest, our two deep-sea aircraft, search from the seabed near the Phoenix Islands. The water depth here is about 1500 meters. The pressure has been very terrible. Every 10 meters down, an atmospheric pressure will increase. Now the pressure in our place is more than 150 times that of the sea surface. Without the protection of high-tech submersibles or heavy diving suits, humans will die because their lungs are crushed, because the air in their lungs is atmospheric pressure. In the same way, waving the fish here to the sea will also reduce the pressure, causing the fish float in the fish to expand and explode to death.

It is precisely because of this principle that things in the deep sea are different from the colorful sea fish we usually see on TV. Because under special pressure, bones and muscles that have to mutate in order to survive make them look very special. There is a viperfish, which is transparent all over the body, and some parts of the body can shine. There is a long dorsal fin on the back, which is used to catch and eat. He bared his fangs and hit the glass of our submersible several times. When he found it useless, he swam away angrily.

The fish here is a complete and complex food chain. Some fish go back and forth between the shallow water and the middle layer, because the shallow layer can shine sunlight and there are rich plankton for food. While others go back and forth between the middle and deep layers to hunt small and medium-sized fish. Some people squat on the bottom of the sea and wait for the food to swim nearby before swallowing it. In this boundless ocean, in fact, it is the place where the law of the jungle is most implemented. Any piece of the seabed and an empty clam shell may become a place for marine creatures to fight and seize. In the deep sea, because of the high pressure and no light, all the creatures that can live here are powerful creatures. Anything that looks insignificant here has its powerful survival magic weapon. The "blue ring octopus" with a large golf ball can easily poison an adult, not to mention the famous deep-sea killers such as killer whale, deep-sea dragon fish, sharp tooth golden eye snapper and eel swallowing.

This "deep water flight 2" The shape of the submersible is really similar to that of an aircraft. There are two mechanical arms used to collect samples on the seabed. There are underwater cameras on the arms. Lao hei and I each operate one arm and look at it within the range of activity. San Mei is responsible for controlling the direction, and shopkeeper Qian is responsible for operating a strong light. This strong light is not only used for lighting on the seabed, but also used to scare away aggressive fish Because this deep-sea fish is used to the darkness, the sudden strong light will make them run away at a loss.

In this way, we kept looking for 4 or 5 days, but we still got nothing. On the sixth day of water, Lao Hei had lost his patience and used the high-definition underwater camera on the mechanical arm to observe the underwater creatures bored.

"Monkey, look what this is?" he shouted excitedly to me in the cabin of the submersible.

After clicking on the touch screen and cutting the picture to the camera of his robot arm, I was surprised to see that at the place directly opposite the camera, a small cluster of white sacs were upside down and stuck under the protrusion of a stone at the bottom of the sea. There was an olive spherical egg in each capsule, which seemed to be about the size of football, and the white egg was shaking with the ocean current , very beautiful.

After taking a picture, the computer started the image matching search function, and soon the information about the egg was displayed on the screen. It turned out that this was the egg of the overlord squid. The female squid would stick the egg here after mating and be guarded by the male squid.

"It's very interesting. The female is responsible for laying eggs and the male is responsible for hatching." Lao Hei laughed.

I don't want to laugh at all, because just below what Lao Hei said, there is a line of red font: "overlord squid can be up to 20 meters long and is the main food for sperm whales. It is extremely fierce. It feeds on fish and invertebrates and can hunt giant whales. It is extremely dangerous."

Seeing these words, I had to be afraid even if I was braver than watermelon. I quickly suggested leaving the seabed and switching the computer video back to the mechanical arm I controlled myself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the video switched back, a big eye appeared on the screen, staring at me.

Although I knew that my eyes were actually staring at the moving robot arm, I was still scared and my heart jumped wildly.

Then take a closer look at the scale and parameters on the screen. My heart beats harde
