Chapter 756 Except Here
The audience in the live broadcast room was excited once again.
The barrage of comments temporarily obscured the screen, flying across the screen at an extremely fast speed, but Bifang had quick reflexes and good dynamic vision, and captured several of the questions.
[That's not right. The Pacific Ocean is so big, there must be ships there, right?]
[Indeed, only the space station above is inhabited. This is a bit exaggerated. Aren’t ocean-going fishing boats and cargo ships also inhabited? ]
Some people think that Bifang's words are exaggerated, and even say in a harsh tone that all anchors like to exaggerate the facts to attract attention.
"Sorry, there really isn't one." Bifang smiled and pointed to the sea in front of him. "We are in the Southern Hemisphere, and most of the world's shipping is between countries and is concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere."
"Of course, it doesn't mean there is no shipping in the Southern Hemisphere. South America, South Africa, and Australia are all in the Southern Hemisphere. Although they are smaller in size, they still exist. However, the shipping between them does not pass through the South Pacific centered on Point Nemo."
"Regardless of whether or not you have experienced it, anyone who has studied high school geography should know that there are ocean currents in the ocean. The speed boost a ship gets from ocean currents is much greater, and you can get twice the result with half the effort. In the entire South Pacific, there is no other ocean current except for one ocean circulation."
"This leads to two situations: it is not worthwhile for ships to go here, and there is no target. Ocean-going fishing boats will not come here to fish, because there are almost no fish here. "
No fish?
How is that possible?
This time, not only a small number of viewers did not believe it, but the vast majority of people were unwilling to believe it.
Because the live broadcast room showed a map of Point Nemo, which is nearly 3,000 kilometers wide. It is an extremely huge place. How can there be no fish in such a large place?
And without people, doesn’t that mean there will be no overfishing, and fishery resources should be more abundant?
"On the contrary, the surrounding swirling waters almost completely block the rich nutrients from staying here. This is a barren marine desert!"
Bifang said something shocking.
The entire Circum-Pacific Ocean Current surrounds this ocean, just like a typhoon encircling this place. All foreign matter is blocked by this ocean current and taken to other places.
In addition, there is absolutely no land here, so there is no hope for the influx of organic matter.
These extreme natural environments result in very scarce nutrients here, which are unable to support the superstructure, so the number of organisms is also very small, and there are almost no large marine organisms.
[It sounds more difficult.]
[How do we cross the river like this? It takes so long. What does Lao Fang eat? ]
[Fuck, isn't this hell mode? It's worse than the desert]
[By the way, why didn't anyone ask what Fang Shen meant by the first half? If there is a first half, does that mean there is a second half? After crossing Point Nemo, if it's the desert, then the next step is to go to the Sahara? ]
"Congratulations to this netizen named Moustache, you guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no prize."
Bifang looked around, trying to find a small forest within his sight. "After crossing Point Nemo, I will go to the Sahara, also crossing it. This is two consecutive live broadcasts. From the beginning of my crossing to the crossing of the Sahara, the whole process will be limited to 120 days."
"Before that, I have fifteen days to prepare the boat, so I need to pick some good wood to support me through the crossing."
After listening to Fang’s plan for the next 100 days, netizens twirled their fingers, not knowing what to write in the comments.
As awesome as ever?
That’s true. No one knows what Point Nemo is, but everyone knows how awesome the Sahara is.
Just as Bifang said, there are people living on the edge, but the inner area is definitely a death zone, and humans simply cannot survive there for long. Here, they are just other creatures that have been alienated to the point where they cannot be alienated any further.
But it seems a bit repetitive and monotonous to keep shouting about how awesome you are.
Even though I won’t say it’s awesome, this thing is indeed awesome.
Anyway...
[Very outrageous]
[Before Lao Fang came out, I never thought live streaming could be so cool]
【Huaxia Live is the coolest】
[Emm, I don’t know what to say, it feels like Fang Shen is getting bigger and bigger]
[Last time I survived in the Arctic for 100 days, this time I’m crossing the Sahara twice at Nemo Point, so exciting]
【It’s fun to watch again. 】
[But are there any trees here? I've watched Lao Fang walk for more than ten minutes, and there's not even a forest! ]
Bifang was walking on the grass. Easter Island was almost entirely grassland, with shrubs here and there and an occasional tall stone statue. It seemed that there were no trees at all.
[That's not right. According to what Lao Fang said, Easter Island is more than 100 square kilometers, which is very large. It's definitely not due to the sea breeze. How can there be no trees? ]
[Is this black soil on the ground? It looks very fertile]
"That's one of the mysteries of the statue's construction."
Bifang sighed. He had expected this situation a long time ago. He half-knelt on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil.
With a strong squeeze, it is very sticky and can be easily rolled into a ball, which is black in color.
If you are an experienced farmer, you can tell at a glance that the land here is extremely fertile!
"There is currently little research on special types of soil in higher education. There are currently three famous black soils in the world: the Mississippi River Basin, the Black Krai on the Dnieper River, and the Songliao River Basin and Sanjiang Plain in China. Two of the three are affected by volcanoes."
"Since the research on black soil is not in-depth, we don't have a deep understanding of many issues about it. But according to existing research, the existence of volcanoes will promote the formation of black soil, and it has its own unique advantages in terms of material source and topography. But we can't generalize and think that there is an inevitable connection between the two."
"But regardless of whether it is black soil or not, the soil here is definitely volcanic soil, which is also fertile. I'll give you a few examples and you'll understand. Do you remember the Aoki Sea of Trees that I visited during my trip to Japan?"
The audience nodded, remembering the lush forest that was clearly in the urban area but looked like a primeval forest. The most bizarre thing was that people often committed suicide in it.
"That lush, mysterious landscape is called the Sea of Trees, and that's where the name Aokijukai comes from, and it appeared after the last major eruption of the volcano in the 9th century."
“And then there are the Hawaiian Islands, which have some of the greenest, most beautiful ecosystems on Earth, yet this idyllic archipelago was also formed entirely by volcanic activity.”
"Easter Island was formed by a volcanic eruption about 1 million years ago. It is an island made up of volcanic lime deposits. Generally speaking, the soil on it is very fertile and very suitable for plant growth. It often has very dense forests."
"There are several volcanic islands like Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean, all of which have tall trees and lush vegetation."
"Except, the Easter Islands."
