Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Frozen Sea of Stars

On the land of China, in the three universities, a large group of future elites of geography are confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because the video screen is broken, it indicates that the anchor has left.

The news from above finally quieted down the students in the noisy room.

"They went deep into a place where there was no signal, so the live broadcast was temporarily stopped. But I recommend that you wait here, because when they come out, there will probably be a recording scene where you can see the results of their exploration. ”

After two and a half hours of climbing, when the four of them walked out of the ice cave, Hua Bai and Ma Fengfeng spread directly to the ground.

It's so tiring.

Fang Hong walked over directly to communicate with Professor Wang.

After a while, the group, especially the biologists, followed out of the ice.

In the small station of the Americans, Fang Hong turned on a computer, set up a local area network, and then clicked on a file, a video file.

At the same time, the live broadcast was also restarted, but it was recorded.

Once again, students from the three universities and waiting sailors saw the picture.

The ice cave under the night vision goggles looks pale because of the effect of a bright searchlight in the night vision goggles.

Here, Fang Hong fast-forwarded the video to the scene when they reached the ground.

Under the night vision device, a huge, I'm afraid that there is a hollow in the area of a small county town, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It is a hole that forms between the ice sheet and the surface of the sea.

Under the night vision device, some dark shadows on the sea surface are outstanding, which makes people suspicious.

"What is this?" A biologist from Ocean Four has raised questions.

Then, Fang Hong picked up the stone and threw it to the sea.

Night vision devices instantly turned into ordinary shooting.

On the surface of the sea, countless bright spots lit up.

It spreads like a ripple.

Seeing this, Qiu Qing once again confirmed his guess: "Antarctic jellyfish!" ”

In 2006, the International Census of Marine Life team led by Ron Oude pierced a 700-meter ice hole in the Antarctic ice sheet, launched with a camera, and captured the Antarctic jellyfish for the first time in the sea water under the ice sheet.

The creature, which is transparent throughout, emits cold light near its outer shell, while the entire jellyfish's brainstem, or neurons, emits red light, and the two rays of light are mixed into a pink glow, allowing the expedition to witness one of the most important discoveries of the oceanographic expedition.

This is more scientifically valuable than deep-sea expeditions.

It is also a testament to the abundance of life in the seawater beneath the ice sheet, as well as the complete biosphere.

The problem, however, is that you can't get a sample because you can't get it.

And now, the discovery of this video made Qiu Qing very excited: "Immediately transfer the equipment and prepare to capture a sample!" ”

The helicopter pilots were tired for 24 hours, and only after six hours of rest were woken up.

Ocean 4 has equipment to capture marine life, which needs to be lifted by helicopter.

In the video, there is more magnificent things.

A black shadow was identified by Qiu Qing as a seal, that is, mammals can live here.

At the same time, the shadow of a whale is surprising.

Seals hide in this area of jellyfish because they are very aggressive and like to sting creatures close to them.

"It's definitely the geothermal energy that gives algae the energy they need to survive that has created this ecosphere, and by collecting seawater samples, we're going to have new discoveries in the combustible ice biosphere!"

Most of the Earth's biosphere is centered on solar energy, but not all. Geothermal energy, combustible ice, and more can all create their own biosphere.

But there isn't such a big non-solar ecosystem.

Although it was discovered as early as 2006, it has not been confirmed.

This time, the opportunity to confirm it is just around the corner.

Qiu Qing instantly felt that the few hours of climbing had meaning, and his waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer painful.

Next, marine life capture instruments, night vision devices, infrared detectors, spectrum analyzers, everything was sent by helicopter one by one.

After an hour and a half of playing.

The live broadcast finally reached the surface of the sea.

When the sea of stars lit up, the three students of the University of Science and Technology were stunned.

As geologists, there is still a lot of intersection with biologists, and some master's students who are in the same major understand that this is a new ecosystem.

And there are many people who eat melons among water friends, and there are many knowledgeable people.

After the magnificent and brilliant star ripples, Fang Hong and the four of them returned, and the recording ended.

Fang Hong sat in the small station and looked at the cut-out picture: "This ecosphere that was discovered five years ago has been confirmed, at present, our scientists have rushed to the ground, and various equipment has been transported to the ground, and soon after, it can be expected that this time, there will be many newly discovered organisms, and there will also be some subspecies of known organisms." This is the most significant discovery of this year's Antarctic expedition. ”

"Brother Gun, Brother Gun, good dick, those glowing ones are really jellyfish?"

"It's indeed jellyfish, not all, there are other creatures, waiting for Comrade Qiu Qing to name them."

"Brother Gun, shouldn't you name it?"

"Don't be funny, this time it's a national scientific expedition, they are the main force, I'm just a guide and a climbing instructor...... Plus videographer. ”

Indeed, this discovery is based on the dedication of scientists like Hua Bai Ma Fengfeng to exploration, rather than Fang Hong taking the lead.

"Brother Gun, you have to sign it, you have to bring your name."

"That's supposed to be it, Professor Wang said, remember the head, hehe."

This matter could not be covered, and it spread in the press.

If a new species is discovered, perhaps the press is too lazy to report it.

But this eye-catching light, of course, should be sent out as news.

Fang Hong earned another batch of copyright fees by the way.

Scientists from all over the world are also rushing over to join in the fun.

If it is a single species discovery, there is no need to go at all.

However, the discovery of an ecosystem that has been frozen for thousands of years is definitely worth running over to join in the fun.

The organisms here have adapted to the temperature of the sea at zero degrees, to the absence of light, and have not even become extinct under the sulfide erosion of multiple volcanic activities, indicating that they have also adapted to sulfide pollution.

This may contribute to the emergence of some new technologies.

The reason why Professor Wang asked the helicopter pilot to bring the equipment with him was to play with his life.

It is to wait for scientists from other countries to name most of the species found before they arrive, and then record them.

"This is a major discovery in the Chinese scientific community and the world's scientific community, and I am fortunate to be able to participate in it." Fang Hong smiled: "Everyone should also be glad to be able to see the whole process." ”

"Next, I will share with you the samples I brought and the findings of Professor Wang and Qiu Qing, but this also makes this expedition need to be interrupted for a few days. Professor Wang said that after sorting out the first batch of samples, they will be sent to Kunlun Station, and then I will follow the plane to the highest point of Antarctica to continue the adventure, before that, it will be a biological carnival. ”

Academician Zhou Weijian, who made the decision to let Fang Hong broadcast live at the beginning, did not expect such a big discovery.

However, Academician Zhou Weijian is very receptive to emerging things, and then she suggested that students from the Department of Biology and the Department of Climate and Environment of HKUST should also join the army of watching the live broadcast.

A buddy who was notified to watch the live broadcast updated his status on his Weibo: "What the hell, the last time I watched the live broadcast in the stadium and football stadium was the Shenzhou 7 flying into the sky. ”
