Beast Studio

After the Dream had left the magic city, it drove smoothly in the Pacific for five days following the scientific research route provided by the Xuelong.

The crew also gradually adapted to life at sea.

After having lunch at noon and preparing for lunch break, news came from the cabin observation room.

The intercom on Liu Wei’s chest made a sound, “Captain, call the captain, there is a discovery on the bottom of the sea!”

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

Observe and point to the computer screen.

On the computer, the picture returned by the underwater detector is a bit blurry.

“Can you get closer?” Liu Wei asked the observer.

“Let me try!”

The camera gradually zoomed in, “Captain, this is the limit!”

The depth of the sea bottom displayed on the computer screen is 353 meters.

Liu Wei analyzed the screen and said: “It should be a whale falling!”

“Whale falling!”

“Fuck, let us see!”

“I can’t see clearly! Awei, can you go to the sea?”

“When a whale falls, everything is born!”

“You can meet this fucking, luck is also great!”

Liu Wei picked up the intercom and called the bridge, “Can the bridge hear?”

“Received on the bridge, captain, please speak!”

Liu Wei said: “Slow down!”

“Roger that!”

“Captain, 353 meters is too deep!” Observation reminded.

The current record for the deepest scuba diving in the world is 332 meters, held by an Indian diver named Ahmed Gable.

Humans will rise in the sea because their lungs are filled with water, and ordinary people will only dive in a safe area at 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 down to 40 meters, the water pressure felt by the human body is equivalent to 4 atmospheres, which has a great impact on the body.

At that time, Ahmed dived as fast as his body can withstand, 332 meters, which took only 12 minutes, but when he returned from the deep sea, it took a full 15 hours.

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

At least for now, no one can break the deepest record of 332 meters.

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

“I want to try it!” Liu Wei walked out of the observation room and got on the deck. The crew all rushed up.

Someone stepped forward to persuade Liu Wei.

Too dangerous.

“I believe that you, like me, want to go to the sea to explore whale falls. The total number of whale falls found in the world is less than 50. In April this year, our scientific expedition team found one in the South China Sea, which was only three meters away.

I just watched the image sent back by the underwater sounder. This whale is very large and may break the known record! “Liu Wei preached.

“Captain, pay attention to safety!”

“Captain, I will monitor the water pressure for you from time to time. If you feel unwell, let us know immediately!”

“OK! I’m gone brothers!”

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

The crew all stared at the live room and the computer screens on board.

“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!”

“…”

Everyone was shocked when each number was reported.

Liu Wei has dived to a depth of 300 meters, and every next meter is a hurdle that is difficult to cross.

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

“Fuck, good Jill!”

“At least ten meters!”

“Major discovery!”

“How can we witness history!”

“Awei, come on!”

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room burst instantly.

The observer in the observation room became more and more nervous, and his forehead began to sweat.

He unconsciously reported Liu Wei’s dive depth.

“310…320…330…333…beautiful!”

“Record broke!”

“The captain is awesome!”

Liu Wei did not react abnormally and continued to dive.

Slowly fell to the bottom of the sea.

The muddy floating objects on the bottom of the sea rose up.

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

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

Liu Wei swam forward.

According to the calculation of the microcomputer, the length of this whale landing reached 13 meters.

Liu Wei was as excited as the audience in the live broadcast room and the crew on board.

“Brothers, the soft tissue of this whale hasn’t been eaten clean, it shouldn’t have been long before death.

Its skull is very large, accounting for almost one-third of the entire body. Its tail bones are small, and its body looks a bit like a tadpole. From the appearance, it is speculated that this is a sperm whale! “

“Can you see this too?”

“The anchor is too professional!”

“The typical sperm whale has 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 swims further and floats in the water. “The bottom of the sea is very barren, and it is basically turbid floating objects. The bottom of the deep sea is not as beautiful and colorful as the shallow sea.

You just mentioned that a whale falls and everything lives. In fact, a whale falls is an ecosystem formed by a whale sinking into the seabed after its death.

Yes, it is an ecosystem.

The carcass of whales can provide food and nutrition for deep-sea creatures. A whale landing can sustain at least 43 species and 12492 organisms for a hundred years! “

Liu Wei took a flashlight to observe from the head of the whale carcass.

“The evolution of a whale fall can be divided into five stages. What we see now is the initial stage, the mobile scavenger stage. Thousands of marine creatures from the ocean gather here to decompose the whale’s carcass and eat its soft tissues. Depending on the size of the whale, this stage will last from 4 to 24 months!

These marine creatures will eat 90% of the soft tissues of the whale carcass!

Look at its back and abdomen, it has been hollowed out, it should be eaten by large deep-sea creatures, such as sharks!

The remaining soft tissue will be broken down by the crabs, fish and shrimps we just saw.

It is estimated that this sperm whale will die in about 7 months! “

“Ashamed! I always thought that the whale falling was the process of the whale dying and sinking to the bottom of the sea!”

“It’s literally understood this way, nothing wrong!”

“Did you tell me Whale Landing is an ecosystem, laugh and cry!”

“Too ignorant, hahaha!”

“…”

Liu Wei smiled and said: “In fact, this ecosystem does not only exist in the sea. Scientists have also found fossils of whale falls in the Sahara Desert, which proves that the earth was a vast ocean long ago.

Perhaps our human research on the sea only stays on the fur, as can be seen from the number of whales found.

There is no way to count the number of whales that die normally every year, and every whale that dies may form a whale landing. So far, fewer than 50 humans have found.

In order to study whale falls, scientists in some countries have even tried to make whale falls artificially. For example, Riben, they threw a stranded sperm whale into the sea at the beginning of the century, and mastered the evolution process of whale falls through many observations. “

“Xiao Riben likes to do things with big brains!”

“I have to admit that some of their technologies are more advanced than domestic ones!”

“I think we can try too!”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, “Very dangerous, with a high work factor!”
