Zhongsha Atoll is the main body of Zhongsha Atoll, with a length of 140 kilometers, a width of 55 kilometers, and an area of nearly 8,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than the 400 square kilometers of Dongsha Atoll. The difference is that the Dongsha Atoll has an outcropping part, while the Zhongsha Atoll is completely submerged, and the shallow water depth is between 9 meters and 30 meters, of which the water area of less than 20 meters is 350 square kilometers, which is very suitable for diving. Not to mention, there are really a lot of people who come here to play diving, I heard that there has been a tourist line here, to dive, or sea fishing, and even to take underwater wedding photos here.

The whole underwater area of the large atoll is a natural aquarium or underwater paradise, where strange rocks are craggy, fish are abundant, and the reef slopes are full of colorful block and surface stony corals and soft corals, such as Shenma's double star coral, shore coral, red coral, and so on. Since it is an aquarium, it is not enough to have beautiful coral aquatic plants, but also to have fish. The waters around the Zhongsha Atoll are really not bad for fish, rich in sailfish, swordfish, tuna, and so on. The reason is that various warm and cold currents meet here, guiding the sea water upwards, bringing nutrients from the seabed and attracting fish, forming several natural fishing grounds.

Li Erdan and Wei Xiaoxiao came to Zhongsha Atoll, and they really came to the right place. Erdan's diving ability is not to say, it is no problem to dive into the bottom of the sea at a depth of 100 meters with his bare ass, which is much more powerful than the aforementioned Dubai man Abbas. Weiwei and Xiaoxiao can swim, and have also played diving, and they can't dive at a depth of 100 meters, and there should be no problem with diving equipment to a depth of more than 10 meters. There are many diving equipment on the yacht, all of which are neat by Cai Xiaolin, such as Shenma's breathing apparatus, diving suits, fins, eye masks, etc., and even diving small rockets and rushing boards. The wind is not very strong now, and there is no problem with getting into the water.

The water of the large atoll is shallow, but the surrounding sea is not shallow at all, and the outer slope collapses, the first step is 400 meters, the second step is 2,000 meters, and the third step is 3,500 meters deep. In other words, the Great Atoll emerges from the ocean floor at a depth of 3,500 meters, perhaps due to a volcanic eruption, or perhaps due to crustal movement.

It is worth mentioning that Zhongsha, as the middle of the four major sands in the South China Sea, is an important strategic fortress, and if there are large islands here, it can radiate to Nansha, and even Milican will not dare to make trouble unscrupulously.

Yes, there are no islands in the Zhongsha Atoll, but we can build it! At present, our relevant departments have begun to plan to fill in part of the Zhongsha Atoll, reclaim land from the sea, and create a 300-square-kilometer land area that can accommodate a population of 3 million. As mentioned earlier, there are 350 square kilometers of water below 20 meters deep in Zhongsha Atoll, and this water area can be filled in.

In this way, I can be safe in the South China Sea.

At present, this world-wide project is still being planned, and it is not known when it will be implemented, and it may not even be implemented. After all, this project is too huge and complicated, and it is a big project on paper, which is similar to the two big projects on paper, which pierce through the Himalayas and divert the Bohai Sea into Xinjiang, as well as the Three Gorges Project and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which have already been completed.

Well, that's probably it.

At this moment, at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was slanting in the west, and in the sunny afternoon, Erdan drove the yacht to Zhongsha Atoll. As far as the eye can see, except for the fishing boats returning to the port from the north, it is all seawater, and you can't even see an island out of the water, but you can still see the various reefs under the sea surface, and you can tell from the color of the seawater. The blue and black water has a deeper water level, and the blue and blue water has a shallower water level. Due to the different depths of the reef from the sea surface, the color of the sea water gradually changes from dark blue to light blue, which is very beautiful. No matter how lacking in aesthetic viewpoint is, people can also see the sense of beauty in it. If you go underwater, the scenery is even more beautiful, with colorful corals as companions, all kinds of fish dancing together, and you can also find the lost treasures of human beings under the sea.

Don't doubt that there is treasure at the bottom of the sea, if all the lost treasures under the sea in the world are fished out, Bill can be squeezed off the throne of the world's richest man in one fell swoop. Not to mention the far away, the "Nanhai No. 1" salvaged from the South China Sea a few years ago contains tens of thousands of pieces of gold, silver, copper, iron, porcelain, etc., all of which are antique-level and of immeasurable value.

I hope that Erdan's trip to the South China Sea can find a "Nanhai No. 2", there are not many treasures, just a few thousand pieces. It's just that the Zhongsha Atoll has been thoroughly explored here, and there should be no treasures.

In the past, when the weather is good, you can see a lot of cruise ships and yachts wandering and playing here, but today there is nothing else except this yacht of Erdan. Fishing boats and cargo ships also go around the big atolls, and if you want to catch fish, you can catch a few nets at most.

Nansha is going to "go to war", who dares to stay here! Although wealth and wealth are sought in danger, life always comes first.

When the yacht sailed into the large atoll within a radius of dozens of kilometers, there was only one lonely ship in the Xiaolin. This situation will make people sincerely feel their own insignificance, the fragility of life, and the fear of nature. Erdan felt somewhat like this at the moment, he really wanted to put on his wings and fly above the clouds to find human footprints.

Eventually, Erdan parked the yacht in a relatively shallow place, and the sonar bathymetry showed a depth of fifteen meters, a depth that was perfect for diving. In two hours it will be dark, and diving in the dark will be boring, and you will have to hurry up if you want to play in the water. And now the sea breeze is blowing stronger and stronger, and Langtou is already half a meter high, and it is likely to be windy Lang at night.

Weiwei and Xiaoxiao were not on the deck, and a pair of cousins advanced to the lower deck in five minutes, and the two eggs didn't know what they were going to do.

If the two girls want to play in the water, what else can they do, they must change their clothes. Before they came, they brought a lot of bikini swimsuits, all kinds of styles, sexy and hot Cheng dù is no less than sexy underwear.

After the yacht came to a stop, Erdan got out of the cockpit and stood on the aft deck. The bow deck is more than two meters from the sea, and there is a side to block it, but the aft deck is different, it is lower from the sea, and there is a ladder that goes straight underwater.

The sea water is turquoise and blue, like the emerald of imperial green, refreshing. At a depth of more than 10 meters, sunlight can be projected on the bottom of the sea, and even beautiful corals, happy swimming fish, and jellyfish with big hats can be seen.

Erdan really wanted to jump into the water and catch a few fish and cook them at night, but he thought about it and waited for the two girls to come over before going into the water!
