489. Galapagos shark
"There is a trench directly below, at a depth of 1,150 meters"
Zhuge Yinglong looked at the numbers on the screen in front of him and said, after seeing enough of the pristine underwater world, several people finally started to get down to business, that is, to find a trench.
"Dive down, I'll stop when I tell you to, pay attention to the sargassum around you, don't let it get entangled"
Li Zimu nodded and said, from here, in addition to the coral reef group, there is also a long sargassum densely, although the submarine is oval-shaped, but it may also be entangled.
Zhuge Yinglong followed Li Zimu's order and controlled the small submarine to dive down little by little, and the further down he went, the darker the light became, and then it was pitch black.
The causes of trench formation are complex, mostly caused by geological movements, like the criss-crossing cracks in thirsty fields due to sun exposure, but the seabed crevices are longer and deeper.
According to the submarine's sonar positioning system, the depth of this trench is about 1,100 meters, and the length cannot be specifically detected because it is not flat.
Strictly speaking, the place where they are now cannot be called a trench at all, because it is so shallow, usually more than 5,000 meters deep, that it is called a trench.
In the entire earth's oceans, there are about 30 trenches with a depth of more than 5,000 meters, half of which are in the Pacific Ocean.
At best, this place can only be called a crack in the seabed......
There are few organisms in the trench, and because the sunlight does not refract in, there are basically no algae plants in the area below, except for sargassum on the edge of the mouth.
"It's so dark"
Zhuge Yinglong looked at the pitch black outside the glass cover and said, this kind of darkness is not like the kind of darkness in the city, at least you can see a rough idea, and here, it is really impossible to reach out and lose your fingers.
The lights installed outside the submarine can only illuminate a short range of places, which is insignificant in the dark trench.
There are also some creatures swimming in the water outside, and there are many shrimp on the stone walls, as well as squid and octopus, all of which are very small, basically no bigger than a palm.
Li Zimu closed his eyes and used his divine sense to feel the situation around him.
Nothing, except for the small shrimp clinging to the rocky walls of the seabed.
However, Li Zimu was not surprised, after all, the trench was too small, and the possibility of the existence of the glass kiss was almost none.
"Let's go up"
Li Zimu opened his eyes and said to Zhuge Yinglong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, after the submarine dived to a height of about five hundred meters from the bottom of this seabed gap, Li Zimu planned to let Zhuge Yinglong turn back, he didn't want to waste too much time here, because his divine sense had already detected the bottom.
The submarine continued to slowly ascend upward, and in a short time it was back at the edge of the trench and then headed for the middle of Bermuda.
Their task today is very simple, that is, to drive this submarine around the sea area for a few moments, and if they encounter the trench, they will go down to have a look, and if they do not touch the trench, they will continue to wander around.
"These little colored fish are so beautiful, each one has a different color!"
Chi Ling looked at the little fish swimming outside the glass cover and said happily, most of the little girls are very interested in this brightly colored thing.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, what a little colored fish, people clearly call it guppies, okay......"
Zhuge Yinglong glanced at her and said, of course he would not let go of finally finding something that could taunt Chi Ling, but the two of them had another quarrel.
Most of the creatures under the sea look strange, and almost all of the small ones are colorful, there is no way, after all, they don't have much ability to resist natural enemies, so they have to rely on looking like the surrounding environment to be able to fool them......
Because the coral reefs on the bottom of the sea are colorful, these small fish have also grown into a similar color to the reef, and they shuttle through the reef, and you can't tell that they are fish if you don't look closely.
They have been down for more than an hour, and basically they have not seen any big fish, they are all some fish with big palms and big heads, and the largest ones they have seen are only a few marlin, and they are not adult marlin.
"Why didn't you see a shark......
Zhuge Yinglong said curiously, what he had always wanted was to see a few sharks with his own eyes, because he usually saw them on the TV, and he didn't see that shocking feeling at all.
"Sharks, don't see them......"
Chi Ling's brows furrowed slightly when she heard the word shark, because in her world, sharks represent cannibalism.
No way, in most American movies, all the films with sharks are basically sharks eating people, and the title of the film is very bloody and violent, so the impression that sharks give ordinary people is that they eat people when they see them, and they are emotionless and exist as a giant marine creature that exists to eat people......
Sharks are teeming in Bermuda's waters, and many visitors are lucky enough to see them.
In fact, most sharks do not eat people, and only a few of a dozen species such as tiger sharks and white sharks eat people.
The more common shark in Bermuda is the Galapagos shark, which is not large, but only more than two meters, and rarely grows to three meters in length.
These sharks do not attack people, they live by eating squid and octopus from the bottom of the sea, although sometimes they eat other sharks as well.
These big guys like to swim with boats and divers, but it's just their curiosity and they don't attack them, so there are only a handful of shark attacks in Bermuda, and it's a well-known thing to the locals.
However, one of the peculiarities of this shark is that they eat sharks, and they are the offspring of their own birth......
As a viviparous shark, even if it comes out of its own belly, it will not let go at all.
Therefore, when the Galapagos shark is still young, it usually stays in the shallow water area to avoid staying in the deep water area and being eaten by other large sharks......
In addition, Bermuda has many other species of sharks, and even if you encounter a series of sharks that attack people, such as white sharks and tiger sharks, you don't have to worry too much, because they won't attack them in a submarine for no reason.
Sharks have a particularly sensitive sense of smell and telepathy, they can smell the special smell around them, and they can also sense the heartbeat of creatures in a certain range around them.
As long as you don't bleed in the sea, there won't be a swarm of sharks chasing you, don't be afraid to meet you, keep your heart rate, and if you're brave enough, you can even ride it on its head and let it carry you around.
