Chapter 1541: measuring

The first thousand six hundred and seventy-six chapters survey
Zhao Zhongyao just talked to Feifei and Bell, forgetting about measuring the depth of the sea in this area. Now that Bell asked, he quickly said, ‘Just wait a moment, I’ll take another measurement. ’
So, Zhao Zhongyao used the deep-sea survey instrument on the flying saucer spacecraft. Measured the depth of the sea here. Originally, Zhao Zhongyao thought that the seawater depth here should be around 5,000. Even if this place is not the deepest part of the Mediterranean, it has to be about three kilometers. After all, this is the deepest water in the Mediterranean Sea, in the central part of the Ionian Basin. The water depth must be more than three kilometers.
But when Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea here, he was surprised. Because the sea depth here is only more than 500 meters. It's not what Zhao Zhongyao imagined. After all, this is the Ionian Basin in the Mediterranean Sea, the deepest place in the Mediterranean Sea. In theory, the sea depth here should not be less than three kilometers no matter where it is.
But the result of Zhao Zhongyao's measurement just now was beyond his expectation. Because the sea depth here is only more than 500 meters. It is shallower than the sea depth they measured in the waters off Crete. Isn't this unusual!
At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao fell into contemplation. He was very puzzled by the measurement data he saw.
Feifei saw that Dad was not talking, so she asked, ‘Dad, what is the depth of the water you measured. Is it very deep? Feifei saw his father's brows frown, he thought, it must be his father who measured the depth of the water here, and he saw that the depth of the water here turned out to be very deep.
When Bell listened to Feifei's words, he also became nervous. After all, he has never been to the deep sea. If the water here is very deep, it makes him a little scared.
It’s just that after hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao suddenly smiled and said, ‘haha, it’s really unexpected that the sea here is so shallow. Only more than five hundred meters. ’
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei and Bell both looked confused. After all, they couldn't believe what Zhao Zhongyao said, this is the Ionian Basin, and the water depth should be several kilometers! How can the water depth here be only more than 500 meters!
‘Dad, what are you talking about, the water depth here is only more than 500 meters, this is not normal! Is there something wrong with the spacecraft's deep-sea survey instrument? Feifei looked at his father with a puzzled expression and said.
'Yes! Mr. Zhao, this is not normal. The depth of the sea here should be at least three kilometers. But you actually measured that the depth of the sea here is only more than 500 meters, isn't this abnormal? Did you read it wrong? It should be more than 5,000 meters. Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
After hearing what Feifei and Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘I believe our spacecraft will not ask anything. There will be no problems with our deep-sea survey instrument. The depth of the sea here should be more than 500 meters. ’
‘How could this be? This is the central part of the Ionian Basin. How can the water depth be only more than 500 meters. Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao very puzzled and said.
‘This question is exactly what I am considering now. I believe there will be no problems with the deep-sea survey instrument on our spacecraft. Before, our infrared imager saw that the seawater here was not normal. Now our deep-sea survey instrument has measured that the sea depth here is abnormal. This shows that there must be something unusual under the sea. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
‘Dad, there will be something abnormal under the sea here. Feifei looked at his father curiously and asked.
‘This question, how can I answer you now. Only to look at the bottom of the sea to know. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.
When Bell heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he also said, ‘then let’s go to the bottom of the sea and see! Isn't it more than 500 meters! It's nothing at all. ’
In fact, Bell is completely imagining the gap between these hundreds of meters and several kilometers. In fact, when you really get into the deep sea, there may not be much difference between these several hundred meters and several kilometers. Anyway, you are sneaking in the seabed. Whether it is a few hundred meters or a few kilometers. For the people in the spacecraft, the feeling is the same.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and Bell again and said, ‘That’s the case, let’s take another measurement elsewhere! Isn't it inaccurate to just measure this place? If there is an island below that is not out of the sea! After all, in the sea, it's not that the small islands you can see are small islands. There is nothing where you can't see.
The terrain in the sea is also very complicated. There are not only small islands in the place you see. Even under the invisible sea, there will be many reefs and small islands. It's just that, because these reefs and small islands are under the surface of the sea, it is not easy for people to discover them.
Because of this, when a ship sails on the sea, it must follow its course. Because only by following the route, you will not encounter obstacles such as reefs. If you don't follow the route, but just drive casually, it's easy to run into obstacles like reefs.
Above the sea, it seems that there is nothing on the surface, it makes people feel like ships can sail on the sea. In fact, it's not the case. You can't drive casually in the sea, and you must follow the route established in advance.
In fact, it is not only in the sea, but also in the air. Don't look at nothing in the air. But some air currents in the air are invisible. However, these air currents will also have a serious impact on aircraft flight.
Airplanes at high altitudes are safer only if they follow the route. If you are not flying according to the route, you may encounter some dangerous air currents such as cyclones. If that were the case, it would have a great impact on the safety of the aircraft.
Because of this, an airplane flying in the sky must follow a certain route. Only in this way is it safer. If the flight path of the aircraft deviates, it is more dangerous.
So, is there a huge island under the sea? It's just that this small island is not out of the sea. ’
Feifei felt very reasonable after hearing what his father said. After all, they are not familiar with the sea water here, and of course they may encounter any situation.
‘Dad, what you said makes sense, so it seems that there must be a huge island under the sea. Feifei said, looking at his father again.
Bell felt very reasonable after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said. So he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Mr. Zhao, there must be a big island under the sea water, otherwise the sea water here would not be so shallow, only more than 500 meters. ’
‘Okay, no matter what, let’s measure it again! If this is a small island, then if we measure from this place to the side, the sea will get deeper and deeper. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
‘Yes, it should be like this. "Bell said so too.
‘Okay, let’s measure the depth of the sea near here. As Zhao Zhongyao said, he began to drive the spacecraft to measure the depth of the sea nearby.
But after taking the measurement, he frowned again. Because no matter which piece of sea water he measured, it was between 500 meters and 7000 meters. There is no very deep place. Even if it is a few kilometers away from the center point just measured. But the depth of the sea is the same as five or six hundred meters.
Now, Zhao Zhongyao was very puzzled. He didn't understand how the water here was so shallow. And a lot of places have such shallow water. This does not mean that the following is a small island.
When Feifei saw his father frowned again, he asked inexplicably, ‘Dad, what is the result of your measurement. Is the sea depth in other places gradually getting deeper? ’
‘It’s not getting deeper, and the sea depth in other places is also several hundred meters. You say this is strange. If the sea depth in other places is really getting deeper, it can also prove that the following is a small island. But the point is that the depth of the sea below has not deepened. This only shows that the following is not a small island at all. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Bell said again, ‘Mr. Zhao, what will be down there! Since it is not a small island. What is it here on the bottom of the sea. Could it be said that this is not the Ionian Basin. ’
After hearing what Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘If it’s not the Ionian Basin, what would it be? There are no islands near here. It is also hundreds of kilometers away from your Crete! If this is not the Ionian Basin, what would it be? Even if it is not the Ionian Basin, the depth of the sea here should not be so shallow. ’
‘Dad, what is under the water here. How could the water here become so shallow! Feifei looked at his father very puzzled and asked.
After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘If I’m not mistaken, there should be a whole continent under the sea. ’
'what! The whole continent! Feifei immediately looked surprised after hearing what his father said.
The same is true for Bell. He also looked surprised when he heard Zhao Zhongyao say this. After all, he couldn't imagine that there would be a whole continent under the sea.
‘Yes, I guess there is a whole continent under the water here. It may have been out of the sea a long time ago. Later, I didn’t know why I sank into this sea. Zhao Zhongyao said again.
‘Dad, is that really the case! Feifei feels very incredible.
‘Is that so? We will find out if we probe again. As Zhao Zhongyao said, he flew away again in his spacecraft.
Bell still looked at Zhao Zhongyao incomprehensibly and asked, ‘Mr. Zhao, where are you going? ’
‘Let’s measure the sea in the distance. If I am not mistaken, the sea water hundreds of kilometers away should be deeper. "Zhao Zhongyao said, driving the spacecraft to the sea hundreds of kilometers away.
The speed of the spacecraft was very fast, and within a few minutes, it flew hundreds of kilometers away. This is just the slowest speed of the spacecraft. If it is faster, it will fly directly out of the Mediterranean.
Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft and quickly flew into the sea 500 kilometers away. At this time, Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea water again. When he measured it, it was a surprise. Because everything is the same as he speculated. The depth of the sea here is as much as five kilometers.
After Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea here, he looked at Feifei and smiled, ‘how, everything is the same as I guessed, the sea depth here is more than 5,000 meters. ’
Feifei also looked surprised when he heard what his father said. He looked at his father and said, ‘It’s true, does this mean that there is a whole continent in the sea. ’
‘Of course this is the case, but we have not yet found the place where this continent borders the Ionian Basin. If we find this place, we can be sure that there is an ancient continent that has been sleeping for a long time under the sea. Zhao Zhongyao happily looked at Feifei and said.
Bell was also very happy after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei said. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, ‘Mr. Zhao, say so. There is a whole continent under this sea area. How did this continent form? What is the significance of this continent to us! ’
‘If this is a whole continent, it means that there may be a relic of ancient civilization under this sea area. And this ancient civilization relic is likely to be the Atlantis civilization relic we are looking for. "Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell and said.
‘Could it be that the mysterious relics of Atlantis civilization are just below this sea area. Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some excitement and said.
‘Of course, if I’m not mistaken, below this sea area is the remains of the Atlantis civilization we are looking for. Zhao Zhongyao said confidently.
‘Dad, what are you waiting for, can we go into the water? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
‘Of course, we can launch from this place now. Then we sailed five hundred meters underwater. In this way, if we continue to drive back, we may see that complete ancient continent. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Bell said with some worry, ‘Mr. Zhao, but here is sea water five kilometers deep! If we go down here, will there be any danger? Rather, it’s better for us to get into the water from the shallow sea that is more than 500 meters away. ’
After hearing what Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, ‘what's the point of that. Only launching from this place is the most interesting. ’
