Chapter 555: Terrain
PS: Again, the following are personal bad tastes.........
-------------------------
Seeing that there was more and more turbulence on the sea, Darren couldn't help but get anxious, but he found that this phenomenon was not all over the sea, so although he would deviate from the direction of the "Trident", he still changed course, increased the throttle, and drove towards a relatively calm place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soon, Darren knew how timely his decision was, because as the turbulence became more and more intense, it gradually turned into a white wave, which showed that the cause of the change in the current was that there was a reef underwater, and at this time, behind him, he could already see a large area of stone outcropping from the water, black and pressing, and still rising.
It is said that it is rising, in fact, it is the reason for the low tide of the sea, with the decline of the sea level, so that the reef that was originally hidden under the water is exposed to the sea, because of the characteristics of coral reef growth, so the height of most of the reefs is relatively consistent, when the tide changes, they are out of the water at the same time, if it is not for the inflatable boat to run fast, I am afraid it will be stranded on it, even so, he has heard the sound of the bottom of the boat and the water jet thruster colliding with the object several times, and can only hope that the damage is not too serious.
In fact, for the same reason, the long and flat tidal flats by the sea are the most dangerous for people who do not know the situation, because when the tide goes down and it looks very flat, so it will go too deep into the beach, and at high tide, as the sea level rises, the water level will rise synchronously in a considerable range, far exceeding the speed of human progress, and when the water level exceeds the lower leg of the person, it will seriously affect the speed of human travel, and finally it is too late to return to the shore and lead to drowning, as for some places with particularly violent tides, it is even more dangerous, for example, the Qiantang River, in that kind of tidal world-famous place, also goes down into the tidal flats, can only be said to be dead......
Fortunately, relying on the speed of the inflatable boat, Darren finally rushed out of the reef before the tide, looking at the newly surfaced island behind him, it can only be said that the terrain of the coral spiral is really strange enough, but although this island is big enough, he did see it rising from the bottom of the sea, obviously Harry could not have a foothold on it before, and after it was so blocked, if he wanted to go to the other side of the coral spiral to check, he had to wait for the "Trident" to act together.
When Darren, who had to go around in a circle, returned to the ship, the people who went underwater to investigate the situation had also returned, although there was not even a shadow of the ship on the bottom of the sea, but he could not give up hope, because he found several unfathomable troughs, which were deep valleys under the sea, and the legendary shipwreck cemetery may not be far away, and there may be a breakthrough discovery.
On deck, Darren also recounted the situation of his search, although he did not find Harry, it was only half a coral spiral, and there was hope, in addition, he was equivalent to checking the situation on the sea at the same time, which could be used to help the "Trident" sail inside the coral spiral.
At this time, it has entered the coral spiral, and everyone will bear heavy labor, in order to ensure physical strength, Darren opened the box he brought, and those field rations were open to eat, but he just couldn't stand the ink of Wang Fatzi, of course, behind him Hu Jianjun and Uncle Ming's pouting, and occasionally took it out for everyone to change their taste.
Darren's action, naturally unanimously approved by everyone, before the food on the ship was Duo Ling responsible, because of living habits, most of the cooked rice is Vietnamese, sour and sweet, plus the ship's materials are limited, day after day is always those few, and it is precisely because of this that those guys always fight the idea of field rations, although it is also not the taste of the Chinese, but it can be changed to a salty and spicy mouth, not to mention the desserts and snacks inside, which is suitable for killing time when on duty vigil.
The only thing that displeased Wang was that the field rations, although they had different tastes, were mixed together, and each time they were fished out of them, they were not necessarily anything, "to prevent the soldiers from eating too much or not enough because of the supply that caused the soldiers to eat one flavor and personal preference," Shirley Yang explained.
"And it's more 'fair,'" Darren added, "and if you don't like what you have, you can trade it with someone else." ”
"Huh?" Wang Fatzi swept around, saw the share in Uncle Ming's hand, glared at him, stretched out his hand, "Take it!" ”
"......" Uncle Ming, who had a sad face, looked at the meal bag in his hand and said to Darren, "Didn't you say that this is more 'fair'?" ”
"Yes, you can refuse him," Darren gave his share to Doling and asked her to help put it in the pot to heat up, "but what happens after refusing it has nothing to do with eating, right?" ”
"Lose his mother, such a 'fair'!"
"Why don't you put a pistol in your lunch bag?"
“……”
While eating, Hu Jianjun took advantage of the crowd to describe the topography of the seabed to everyone on the map that had just been drawn by hand, the "coral spiral" should actually be an oval ring island group, and the outer circle is full of reefs, this is the outer spiral in the mouth of the sea wolf, the outer spiral has complex internal terrain, and the higher terrain in the middle, the highest point in the middle should be the island that exposes the sea surface after the tide level is lowered, Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming call it "Ghost Island", This area is likely to be a mountain range of islands that have been submerged as the continental shelf has sunk, and there are several bottomless troughs on the ocean floor leading to the open sea.
There is an area between the outer spiral and the ghost island, the terrain is concave, shaped like a basin, the bottom of the sea is full of coral iron trees, and it has become a rolling underwater forest, some of the large coral trees in it are tens of meters high, rising from the sky, although it is at the bottom of the sea, but it still looks magnificent, among which it is a translucent tree with a quality like a tortoiseshell is the most conspicuous, and on the side of this tree, there is a valley, it is difficult to judge its depth, if the depth exceeds two hundred meters, even if you know that the Mary Xiannu has sunk into the trough, there is nothing you can do.
After Hu Jianjun finished speaking, he was supplemented by Ruan Hei, he had been a fisherman, and he had also picked pearls, and one of the important ways to make a living on Coral Temple Island was to assist the salvage team to go to the sea to catch "Qingtou", and he could be regarded as a semi-professional diver, with his experience and understanding of fishing "Qingtou", there are many evil fish in this underwater forest, and the danger of going into the water is very great, but I just saw in the diving bell, those old mussels in the deep water are all beads, and the moon shadow ** flashes, and the value is unprecedented in his life.
As he spoke, Nguyen Hei mentioned that he had a difficult life after escaping from Vietnam, and today he had waited for this kind of opportunity, and he finally had hope of going to France, and he was a little excited, saying that it was worth the risk.
"To France?" Hearing Ruan Hei's words, Darren muttered in a low voice.
"Do Ling was an orphan adopted by Nguyen Hei when he escaped from Vietnam, and he was willing to take the risk of going to sea with us because he wanted to have the money to go to France to meet Do Linh's lost relatives," Shirley Yang explained in a whisper.
