Chapter 1326: See and hear under the sea

"Let you use high-pressure air to pressurize! You are so hurry up!"
"What? You don't know where it is? Behind you! It says on it! What? You don't know Chinese? Why don't you learn something special? The valve on your left hand!"
"The two cameras are off! Can't you do this job?"
"How much power is the main battery? How much is the secondary battery?"
"What time are you wasting here? Do you know how much it costs to dive this way? Did you pay for the boat ticket?"
"I am a particularly good leader than you! Go and sit there! Don't move! Don't call McAfee, you can call ‘Megafu’!"
McAfee looked aggrieved. He is a well-known IT rich man. He usually scolds others. As a result, in this small cabin, he made Yang scolded eagerly for a long time.
The temperature of the sea floor is low, so the air will become cold and shrink. Now they are equivalent to a mountain with an altitude of one thousand meters, so it must be pressurized. But McAfee doesn't know what to do now. Yang Meng is famous for his violent temper when he is working. When working, he doesn't care who is who or who he catches.
Fortunately at this time Xiao Peng's voice in the water sound communication rescued him: "Mengzi, I saw that you have stopped, why didn't you contact us? Please answer when you hear it, that's it!"
After listening, Yang Meng grabbed the walkie-talkie: "I'm even better than McAfee! Not only can I not help me, but I also occupy space in the cabin! Over!"
Xiao Peng comforted: "Ordinary heart, are all equipment okay now? Over!"
"It's okay, the focal length of a deep-sea camera cannot be adjusted. It's over." Yang Meng replied.
"Satisfying, the deep-sea cameras on the'Jiaolong' are all rented from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. It is only a few years now, and we are using the deep-sea cameras produced by ourselves. This is a big improvement. Over. !"
Yang Meng did not entangle this question: "We are now in a mid-ocean ridge terrain. I suspect that there is a hydrothermal area nearby. I am going to look for it after I leave here. The above idea is to record the coordinates of our submarine. That's it."
"Okay, leave it to us, pay attention to safety, over!"
"Good drop, tell Xiaoqiu, I want to eat barbecue today, over!"
"Okay! Come up and have a good drink! But you have to remember that the weather forecast we received just now shows that there will be Level 6 sea conditions in eight hours, so don't stay down for too long and give you five hours! Over!"
"Okay! No problem! Over!"
After talking with Xiao Peng, Yang Meng and Xiao Peng felt much better. While watching the sonar system, he carefully drove the submarine to a safe distance. Then he kept the ‘Warrior of the Four Seas’ hovering and lay down on the observation window and looked at the scenery of the sea floor outside.
Although there are lights everywhere on the ‘Warrior of the Four Seas’, you can see a distance of up to six or seven meters on the dark bottom of the sea, so the submersibles always advance cautiously when traveling on the bottom of the sea.
"Yang, there are fishes here!" McAfee pointed to the right side of the hull and said, Yang Meng looked at it with his probe: "It's a ferret. I can't tell the specific one, but it's not uncommon to see it here, from one meter to the other. This thing can survive more than 3,000 meters. The ferret in such deep waters is at the top of the food chain. It is similar to the position of the lion on the grassland. It is estimated that it is now thinking whether we can eat it! Haha. But. This thing looks really ugly. I don't have any appetite to look at it, let it go."
McAfee was busy taking pictures of the fish: "Do you Chinese people want to eat everything when you see it?"
"How about it?" Yang Meng observed the ground outside: "There are a lot of manganese nodules here, and the mineral resources are quite rich."
On the ground in front of them, there is a black "pebbles", that is, manganese nodules, which are rich in manganese, cobalt, selenium and other elements. It is a very good seabed mineral to be developed, but Yang Meng's purpose is not. These are shipwrecks! It is not easy to find the sunken ship bit by bit within such a large area, even if Xiao Peng gives the coordinates.
McAfee blinked: "Should I operate the robotic arm to collect a sample?" He is thinking about it now and desperately looking for work for himself: Yang Meng said he would knock himself out! Safety first.
Yang Mengbai gave him a glance: "Do you know how to play with a robotic arm? Don't mess with it." After speaking, he took out a high-temperature probe with the robotic arm to test the surrounding temperature: "I guessed it right, this is a low-temperature hydrothermal jet. "
After speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Peng, found a low-temperature hydrothermal vent. Over."
After a while, a voice came from above: "Then pay attention to safety, it's over!"
"Yang, what is a low-temperature hydrothermal vent?" McAfee asked curiously.
Yang Meng said, "How do you say this? You treat it as a submarine hot spring. Some high-temperature gas like hydrogen sulfide seeps from the cracks in the ground. If the temperature is low, it is a low-temperature hydrothermal vent. If it is high, you can see thick black smoke erupting from the bottom of the sea, so it is also called the
black chimney
of the bottom of the sea. The surrounding sea temperature is several hundred degrees, so pay attention to safety."
McAfee blinked: "Is it the sea-volcano?"
Yang Meng shook his head, "It's not the ocean floor-volcano. The ocean floor-volcano will disappear after the eruption, and such a hydrothermal area has always maintained such a high temperature, which is amazing."
After listening to Yang Meng's explanation, McAfee also became curious and looked at the scenery outside the submarine: "Damn, so many creatures!"
Although it is deep sea, it has a rich biota: large tracts of black snails and mussel barnacles grow on the rock wall, which is completely different from the place just seen.
Yang Meng said, "The water temperature here is high, the living environment is better, and there are a large number of microorganisms that provide these creatures with organisms, so this is not surprising."
McAfee looked at the camera screen and saw a large snow-white "crab" lying on the rock. Its head could be as large as half a palm. The two large pliers and feet were covered with bristles, and they kept running along. The sea waved his two big tongs: "There are white crabs!"
Yang Meng said: "Oh, it is a hairy porcelain crab. Although it is called a'crab', it is actually a species between shrimp and crab. Like a lobster, he has six legs and two claws, but it belongs to crabs. People have never seen this species before and don’t know how to classify it. Let’s put it this way, humans know more about space than about the ocean. You should be proud now."
"Proud? What is pride?" McAfee asked inexplicably.
Yang Meng said with a relaxed look: "There are more people who have been to space than people who have been to the deep sea below a kilometer. You are one of them now."
After hearing this, McAfee pointed to the hairy porcelain crabs and said, "What are they doing with their paws? Is that a ritual?"
Yang Meng snapped his fingers after hearing this: "Good question! In fact, these hairy porcelain crabs are master breeders. Did you see the burrs on their big claws? There are many bacteria and microorganisms in the burrs, and they stimulate activity by waving the big claws. , Let these microorganisms grow, and then use them as their own food."
McAfee asked curiously: "Why didn't you say you took them back when you saw them?"
Yang Meng sighed: "You didn't hear what I just said? There are a lot of bacteria and microorganisms here. They rely on the hydrogen sulfide in these hydrothermal fluids to survive, and the mussels and black snails here rely on swallowing these. Symbiotic bacteria come to survive. You see these creatures living here are fat, but they really can’t eat them. They eat very poisonous substances, so they are poisonous. Don’t you think life is boring, I can Grab a few and go back to you to eat. After eating, you can go and communicate with God up close."
McAfee shook his head desperately: "Forget it, although I like God his old man, but I really don't want to see him in the past! What are we doing now?"
Yang Meng suddenly looked at the monitor with excitement: "Hurry up, turn the No. 4 camera, there are fun things there!"
McAfee hurriedly turned the No. 4 camera, only to see a strange guy inside, Yang Meng said excitedly there: "Take a few more beautiful photos."
McAfee looked at the creature in the camera and asked curiously: "What is this? It looks like an octopus, why is it so cute?"
There is indeed an octopus in the lens, but it has two fins, like elephant ears. Yang Meng explained: "This is called Dumbo octopus. It is a kind of octopus that lives in the deep sea. It is found in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Pacific. I didn’t expect it to be found here, but it’s not surprising that Dumbo octopus is The collective term for sixteen species of octopus in the genus Soot.
McAfee was dumbfounded when he heard Yang Meng's words, and then said after a long while: "I always thought Xiao was a master of all things, and you are a model of ignorance. Didn't you expect you to know so much?"
Yang Meng looked smug: "Do you think I did nothing for the training? I received more training about deep sea knowledge. I don't know about it. I don't know much about the deep sea as Xiao Peng does. I am better than him. I know a lot! Oh, no! Who do you say is so unlearned? I beat you so hard, believe it?"
Of course, if Xiao Peng knew about Yang Meng, he would definitely dismiss it: What deep sea? I'm tired of seeing Lao Tzu's avatar, right? If it weren't for the eyes and ears of others, would you spend so much money to build such a "Warrior of the Seas"? What I was tired of playing with now became Yang Meng took out to pretend to be X.
McAfee hurriedly asked: "Yang, what are we doing now?"
Yang Meng said silently: "What do you say you are doing now? Of course it's the business!" After he finished speaking, he carefully observed the seabed sonar map. Because the deep sea is too dark, even if there are lights, the direction and terrain must be judged by the sonar.
McAfee leaned over and followed Yang Meng to look at the sonar map. Yang Mengbai gave him a glance: "What's the fun? As if you can understand it."
McAfee retorted: "If I don't understand, you can understand?"
"Is that nonsense? I found it!"
