Chapter 773 The Sea of Death
On the platform connecting the Viking and the aircraft carrier, Bifang used the wooden bowl that had just been drained of water to scoop up a bowl of sea water, and then tore off a leaf from the palm leaf that was wrapping the shark meat patties nearby.
Wait for a while until the ripples in the bowl are smaller.
Bifang took a small piece of paper clip and rubbed it on her hair. After a while, she placed it on a palm leaf and gently put it into the bowl.
A few seconds later, everyone clearly saw that the leaves in the water actually started to turn!
After swaying left and right for a while, it finally stopped in a certain direction.
[Oh, this is a compass, right?]
[Rub your scalp to magnetize it, then put it in water and it will point to the earth's magnetic field]
[Bullfrog, sounds simple, but it’s not easy to think about it]
The whole process is not complicated and the audience can understand it .
"Yes, the principle is similar to that of a compass. As for which side is facing south and which is facing north, it is easy to tell by looking at the sun."
"Although this method is simple and easy to operate, it has great limitations. First of all, it must be as stable as possible, and the wind cannot be too strong. Therefore, it is rarely used at sea. It is more often used in dense forests, in a puddle or anywhere else. It does not have to be a thin wire, a long iron wire will do."
Day 3.
There were no more birds in the sky . Bifang put away his fishing rod and saw nothing in the sky.
"It seems that we have completely entered the circulation range. Our progress is still very fast."
The straight-line distance is about 2,800 kilometers. Bifang is expected to arrive within 20 days, which is equivalent to running 140 kilometers a day. Taking into account wind direction and errors, the distance may reach 160 or even 180 kilometers.
At first glance, it seems that seven or eight kilometers per hour will be enough, but we also have to deduct sleeping time and various accidents.
The task is still quite arduous.
Day 5.
Bifang was bored and hid under the canvas. He was exposed to the sun for several days in a row, which made his skin a little red and even flaky. Now he tries to wear the canvas as much as possible every day.
Because there was time for advance preparation, materials and even garbage on Easter Island could be used, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the entire mission.
Bifang even began to wonder if the system had made a mistake. The current situation was totally unworthy of T4!
Since food and water resources are basically sufficient, there is not even basic power.
But Dugu did understand it.
Even if Bifang survived in the Arctic for a hundred days, he would not feel as deeply as he does now.
Dead silence.
It was dead silent.
There is no life at all.
There were no fish to be seen in the ocean, and not a single bird in the sky. There was only endless ocean all around.
Fortunately, there are audiences to keep him company.
Day 6.
Bifang, with the triangular sail spread out, sailed for several hours, stopped to rest at noon, and took a look at the number of viewers in the live broadcast room.
It dropped again, to just over three million.
If other anchors knew what Bifang was thinking at this moment, they would definitely want to beat him to death.
After chatting idly for a while, Bifang felt that he couldn't go on like this. He stood up from the boat and lifted the canvas, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
[What's wrong? What happened? ]
[What could possibly happen? I can see that there is no one around here, nothing will happen.]
[Indeed, I feel that this live broadcast is so boring, there is no adventure]
[I am already very happy to see Fang Shen, watching him pull the rope and control the sail, hehehe]
【What a nympho】
"I'm going to go down to the sea and take a look to see if there is really no life near Point Nemo."
Bifang found a piece of hemp rope and tied it around his waist.
After hearing this, the slightly quiet live broadcast room finally became lively.
【Front row seat】
[Is it finally time to move? 】
[By the way, why is the weather so quiet here? There's not even a storm.]
"I have dived once on Easter Island, and everyone should have been very impressed by the water quality there." Bifang tied the rope, came to the edge of the boat, and looked around. The visibility was still very high.
[Indeed, I have never seen such clean sea water]
[The sea water here is muddy, so ugly. I always thought that blue sea water didn’t exist.]
[The pollution is too serious]
"That's not the case." Bifang denied the statement after seeing the comments. "Many amateur scientists like to attribute all environmental problems to pollution. The main cause of this problem is not pollution, but the combined effect of complex hydrological factors."
"I won't explain the details. The most important thing now is to get in the water and see for ourselves."
"Since the birth of the primordial ocean, the desolate and dead Earth has taken on a new look. Especially after the emergence of primitive life in the ocean, the Earth has become a pearl in the universe."
"It is no exaggeration to say that there is no life without water. However, there are always some special places. Although they cannot be called dead, the biological richness is pitifully low compared to other places on the earth."
"Because of the circulation in the South Pacific and the lack of islands, there is almost no organic matter flowing into the region, and it is completely dead silent."
"I wonder if anyone still remembers the Sargasso Sea I mentioned before. The situation there is similar, but the area is much smaller than that of the South Pacific."
【Remember, the Atlantic Ocean time】
[The Sargasso Sea seems to be in the Atlantic Ocean]
"The so-called transparency of seawater refers to a white round plate with a diameter of 30 cm, which is vertically sunk into the water in a place where sunlight cannot directly shine, to a depth that is invisible."
"The Sargasso Sea near the Bermuda Islands in the North Atlantic is recognized as the clearest sea in the world, with a transparency of 66.5 meters. In some sea areas, the transparency reaches 72 meters. On sunny days, if you put the photographic film at a depth of more than 1,000 meters, the film can still be sensitive to light. This is beyond the reach of all other sea areas."
“Although the South Pacific is not as transparent as this, the transparency is at least 50 meters, so the feeling it gives people is completely different.”
After saying that, Bifang took a breath and jumped directly into the sea.
Looking down from the sky, a drone saw a white wave splashing next to the Viking.
The live broadcast room's perspective automatically switches from the first-person perspective.
When the silver bubbles that filled the screen dissipated, an ocean world that was so transparent that it was difficult to describe appeared before everyone.
It is still a sunny day today, and the transparent texture is brought to the extreme. Everyone’s first impression is beauty.
But after waiting for a while, everyone felt an indescribable weirdness.
Quiet.
It's too quiet.
During the live broadcast, there is also the sound of Bifang as a change, but after going deep into the ocean and entering the first-person perspective, the feeling of being alone and dead is magnified to the maximum.
It felt as if a cold poisonous snake was crawling on everyone's back.
When Bifang lowered his head and looked downward, the endless sense of the abyss made the scales of this poisonous snake explode.
