Beast Studio

After the Dream left the Magic City, it sailed smoothly on the Pacific Ocean for five days according to the scientific research route provided by the Snow Dragon.

The crew also gradually adapted to life at sea.

After lunch and preparing for a lunch break, news came from the cabin observation room.

The intercom on Liu Wei's chest sounded, "Captain, call the captain, there is a discovery on the bottom of the sea!"

Liu Wei was extremely excited and went down to the observation room.

Observe pointing at the computer screen.

On the computer, the images returned by the underwater detector were somewhat blurry.

"Can you get closer?" Liu Wei asked the observer.

"Let me try!"

The camera gradually zoomed in, "Captain, this is the maximum!"

The depth of the sea floor shown on the computer screen is 353 meters.

Liu Wei analyzed the picture and said: "It should be a whale falling!"

"Whale falls!"

"Fuck, let's see!"

"I can't see clearly! Ah Wei, can you go into the sea?"

"When a whale falls, everything comes alive!"

"You're so damn lucky to be able to meet all of these!"

Liu Wei picked up the intercom and called the bridge, "Can the bridge hear you?"

"Received on the bridge, Captain please speak!"

Liu Weidao: "Slow down and sail!"

"receive!"

"Captain, 353 meters is too deep!" the observer reminded.

The current world's deepest scuba diving record is 332 meters, held by an Indian diver named Ahmed Gabr.

Human beings will rise in seawater because their lungs are filled with water. Ordinary people will only dive in a safe area with a depth of about 20 meters. The impact of water pressure at this depth on the human body is not very obvious.

But once you dive to 40 meters, the water pressure the human body feels is equivalent to 4 atmospheres, which has a great impact on the body.

Ahmed dived at the fastest speed to the limit of his body's endurance, 332 meters, in only 12 minutes, but when he returned from the deep sea, it took him a full 15 hours.

In the eyes of professionals, the depth of 353 meters is beyond the reach of humans.

At least for now, no one has been able to break the deepest record of 332 meters.

Liu Wei directly put on the diving live broadcast equipment provided by the system. With the help of equipment that cannot be explained by current science, Liu Wei was not worried at all.

"I want to give it a try!" Liu Wei walked out of the observation room and went on the deck, and the crew members all caught up.

Someone came forward to persuade Liu Wei.

Too dangerous.

"I believe that you, like me, would like to go to the sea to explore whale falls. The total number of whale falls discovered in the world is less than fifty. In April this year, our Chinese scientific expedition team discovered one in the South China Sea, which was only three meters long.

I just watched the images sent back by the underwater detector. This whale fall is huge and may break the known record! "Liu Wei said.

"Captain, be safe!"

"Captain, I will monitor the water pressure for you all the time. If you feel unwell, please notify us immediately!"

"OK! Let's go, brothers!"

Liu Wei climbed down from the escalator on the deck and jumped into the sea.

The crew members were all staring at the live broadcast room and the computer screens on the ship.

"Twenty meters! Normal!"

"Forty meters! The human body reacts normally!"

"Eighty meters! Normal!"

"One hundred and fifty meters! Normal!"

"Two hundred and seventy meters! Normal!"

"..."

When each number was reported, everyone was shocked.

Liu Wei has already dived to a depth of 300 meters, and every subsequent meter will be a difficult hurdle to overcome.

The scene captured by the microcomputer above Liu Wei's head is getting clearer and clearer.

"Damn it, Gil is so big!"

"At least ten meters away!"

"What a great discovery!"

"How dare I witness history!"

"Come on Ah Wei!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room exploded instantly.

The observers in the observation room became more and more nervous and began to sweat on their foreheads.

He unconsciously reported Liu Wei's diving depth.

"310...320...330...333...beautiful!"

"Record broken!"

"Captain is awesome!"

Liu Wei's body showed no abnormal reaction and continued to dive.

Slowly falling to the bottom of the sea.

The turbid floating objects on the seabed rose up.

Liu Wei turned on the diving flashlight, and the light was projected onto the whale.

A school of fish and crabs swam away in an instant.

Liu Wei swam forward.

According to the calculations of the microcomputer, the length of this whale drop reached thirteen meters.

Liu Wei, like the audience in the live broadcast room and the crew on the ship, were extremely excited.

“Brothers, the soft tissue of this whale has not been eaten away, so it should not have been dead for long.

Its skull is very large, accounting for almost one-third of its entire body. Its tail bones are smaller and its shape looks a bit like a tadpole. Judging from its appearance, it is a sperm whale! "

"Can this also be seen?"

“The anchor is so professional!”

"Sperm whales typically have a big head and a small tail, with a square head!"

“It’s so cool to be able to see the underwater world through live broadcast!”

Liu Wei swam further and floated in the water, "The seabed is very barren, basically filled with turbid floating objects. The deep seabed is not as beautiful and colorful as the shallow sea.

You just mentioned that everything comes from a whale fall. In fact, a whale fall is an ecosystem formed when a whale dies and sinks to the bottom of the sea.

Yes, it is an ecosystem.

The carcasses of whales can provide food and nutrients for deep-sea creatures. A whale fall can sustain the survival of at least 43 species and 12,492 organisms, and this can last for a hundred years! "

Liu Wei took a flashlight and started observing from the head of the whale carcass.

"The evolution of whale falls can be divided into five stages. What we are seeing now is the initial stage, the mobile scavenger stage, where thousands of marine creatures from the ocean gather here to decompose the whale carcass and eat its soft tissues. Depending on the size of the whale, this stage can last anywhere from 4 to 24 months!

These sea creatures eat 90% of the soft tissue of a whale carcass!

You can see that its back and abdomen have been hollowed out. It must have been eaten by large deep-sea creatures, such as sharks!

The remaining soft tissues will be decomposed by the crabs, fish and shrimps we just saw.

It is estimated that the sperm whale died around 7 months ago! "

"Ashamed! I always thought whale fall was the process of a whale dying and sinking to the bottom of the sea!"

"That's the literal meaning, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"You told me Whalefall is an ecosystem, you laughed so hard!"

"So ignorant, hahaha!"

"..."

Liu Wei smiled and said: "Actually, this ecosystem does not only exist in the sea. Scientists have also discovered fossils of fallen whales in the Sahara Desert, which also proves that the earth was a vast sea a long time ago.

Perhaps our human research on the sea has only scratched the surface, as can be seen from the number of whales discovered.

There is no way to count the number of whales that die every year, and every whale that dies may form a whale crash. So far, humans have discovered less than fifty whales.

In order to study whale crashes, scientists from some countries have even tried to create artificial whale crashes. For example, in Japan, they threw a stranded and dead sperm whale into the sea at the beginning of the century. Through many observations, they learned about the evolution of whale crashes. "

"Little Riben likes to do imaginative things!"

"I have to admit that some of our technologies are more advanced than those in China!"

"I think we can try it too!"

Liu Wei shook his head and said: "It's very dangerous and the work coefficient is very high!"
