Chapter 205 Marine Survey (II)
Today's fourteenth update! Is it cool to see the big guys? You cool Xiaomo will be full of motivation!
Ask for the first order and commuter pass!
If you look at the map, from the coastline of Texas and Louisiana in the United States to the south, from the east coast of Mexico, Panama, and Nicaragua to the east, and from the north coast of Venezuela and Colombia in South America to the north, this vast sea area is divided into two parts by countless islands and the huge Yucatan Peninsula.
It is bounded by the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and to the north is the Gulf of Mexico, which is surrounded by the Yucatan Peninsula, the east coast of Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and the Florida Peninsula.
South of the Yucatan Peninsula, surrounded by the east coast of Central America and the United States, the north coast of Colombia and Venezuela, and the Atlantic Ocean including the Cuban archipelago, Jamaica, Haiti, and the pearl-like island nation to the southeast, is the Caribbean Sea, famous for its scenery, hurricanes, and historical pirate culture.
From the Florida Peninsula of the United States to the south, in the Gulf of Mexico and the east of the Caribbean Sea, there is a series of island countries, thousands of nautical miles of island chains have formed dozens of island countries, large and small, and the Bahamas Islands is the northernmost point of this island chain.
In terms of scenery, although the Bahamas no longer belongs to the Caribbean Sea in the geographical sense, the Bahamas has the largest number of coral reefs in the entire Caribbean island country, and even many islands in the Bahamas simply belong to the scope of coral reefs.
According to the geologists, the earth's crust changed dramatically a long, long time ago, and then a large number of islands suddenly appeared in the ocean, which formed an arc of island chains, separating the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean.
Actually, if you look at it from an electronic satellite map. It is also clear that this statement is plausible, because in contrast to the huge and somewhat excessive continental shelves of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, close to the east of these island chains, there is a deep trench that unmistakably distinguishes the depth of the Atlantic Ocean.
To the east of the Bahamas, that chain of islands. Islands such as Grand Abaco, Eleutella, Carter and others stand almost on the edge of that trench. Less than two kilometers east of these islands is a trench several kilometers deep! The continental shelf in the usual sense is not visible here at all.
The island of Paradais, where Tang Feng was blowing the sea breeze, was still more than fifty nautical miles away from the unfathomable trench, but this did not affect Tang Feng's use of the star core to explore this magical sea area......
Unlike land exploration, ocean exploration consumes much less energy from the star core, and only 1% of the energy reserve of the star core is required to launch an ocean exploration, but the detection range and depth are no different from land exploration.
Natural radioactive elements are ubiquitous throughout the atmosphere. Whether it is in the air, in the crustal rock formations, or in the seawater and seabed, there are more or less naturally occurring radioactive elements.
Seawater also contains natural radioactive elements, although the unit content is not as abundant as on land, but don't forget that the base of the ocean is placed there, so if you can concentrate the radioactive elements in the ocean, then the amount is quite terrifying.
The star core has this magical function, so even if the ocean exploration function is activated, Tang Feng can control the star core to absorb those free radioactive elements in the vast ocean. Not only can it easily make up for the energy consumed during ocean exploration, but it can also replenish energy reserves for the star core.
Survey the ocean with ocean exploration capabilities. The effect is not comparable to that of surveying land. After all, the sea water is transparent, once the ocean exploration function is activated, Tang Feng seems to have a god's perspective, and the scenery in the entire surveyed sea area can be seen by Tang Feng, even in the sea area thousands of meters deep and there is no light at all. Tang Feng can still see the scenery here clearly.
This is a detection method that Tang Feng can't understand at all now, but it doesn't matter if he understands it or not, after all, the star core itself is an extremely mysterious alien technology, and it is not surprising to have this kind of detection method. Anyway, the star core is in his own hands, and this is enough.
The waters off the Bahamas belong to the North Atlantic Ocean. If you don't explore to the east, the scenery of the entire Bahamian sea is still quite beautiful. Most of the islands are coral reefs, and only a few are volcanic islands. Because there is a coral reef here, the depth of this sea area is not very large, and some places are even only ten meters deep, and the clear water and sufficient sunlight are enough to ensure that people can see the seabed scenery at a glance when they come to this shallow sea area by boat.
Because the waters of the Bahamas are tropical, there are many kinds of fish and other creatures here, and when Tang Feng looks at the seabed conditions here from the perspective of God, he can't help but be fascinated by the scenery of the seabed in this sea.
It's really beautiful, the kind of beauty that can't be described in words, and people can't wait to stay here for the rest of their lives and are reluctant to leave.
Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature, what kind of power can form such a wonderful and harmonious underwater ecological environment!
After watching the shallow sea scenery of the coral reef area, Tang Feng involuntarily began to drive the star core towards the deep sea area.
From the perspective of the star core, it is far more shocking than what you see from a submarine or a dive. After a distance of less than two kilometers to the east, the shallow sea with stunning scenery suddenly disappears. As if the ancient giant god had slashed a sword here, the straight and steep trench rock wall appeared unusually abruptly up and down.
This trench is so deep, and the depth is a bit beyond Tang Feng's expectations. One moment it was still in the sea that could be seen almost at a glance, but the next moment, the sea here has become pitch black, and the omnipresent sunlight is coldly rejected by the thick sea!
In fact, this trench is the deepest trench in the entire Atlantic. Nearly 800 kilometers south from the Bahamas where Tang is located is the Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest trench in the entire Atlantic Ocean. The deepest part of this trench is 9,219 meters deep!
The topography of the seabed is as unpredictable as the weather on the sea. This also made Tang Feng deeply shocked by the magic of Mother Earth!
From the island of Parades where Tang Feng is located to the Puerto Rico Trench that Tang Feng is surveying now, it has almost reached the limit distance that the third-level star core can detect, and the depth of the Puerto Rico Trench has almost reached the ultimate depth that the current star core can detect. Therefore, after Tang Feng probed, he was ready to retract his detection consciousness.
However, just as Tang Feng retracted his detection consciousness, a lonely island standing on the edge of the Puerto Rico Trench made Tang Feng's eyes widen involuntarily (to be continued......
