665. Dive into the sea and touch the mussels

The diving suit that Qin Shiou watched was quite strange, the clothes and fins were nothing, but its head was a tightly closed transparent helmet, filled with liquid, and a jar was attached to the back, which looked strange.

Rejek saw that he was interested in a brief introduction: "Have you seen the movie "The Abyss", James Cameron's science fiction movie directed in 1989, which introduced that when human beings survive in space, they all use liquid breathing. Yes, this new wetsuit is used for a similar reason, it's so sci-fi! ”

Usually, people think that if you inhale fluid into your lungs, you will suffocate to death, not only humans, but also mice, which is the instinct of land creatures.

Someone has done it so that when a rat is put in a liquid environment, it instinctively struggles immediately because it thinks it will suck in the liquid and suffocate it to death.

In fact, when land animals drown, they die not because the water destroys their heart and lungs, but because they are unable to get oxygen from the water and suffocate to death.

Mammals are in a liquid environment when they are in the mother's womb, and they can breathe freely and live very well, because babies can get oxygen from the mother's amniotic fluid, and this wetsuit is designed based on this principle.

The most important part of this diving suit is the airtight transparent helmet, which contains liquid air, a special solution rich in oxygen molecules, as long as the diver can overcome the psychological difficulties to inhale this liquid, then he will get oxygen from it, and he can live well.

The wetsuit was invented by Arnold Rand, a well-known retired cardiopulmonary doctor in the United States, who has been working on deep-sea diving. Because of the prevalence of decompression sickness, people have to waste a lot of time and energy every time they dive to avoid it.

South African diving expert Nuno Gomez set a world record in 2005. That is to carry scuba diving 318 meters. It took him 14 minutes to dive to this depth, and then 12 hours to get back to the surface!

Arnold researched this aspect of things. He found a liquid that could dissolve large amounts of gas, known as fluorocarbons.

The liquid contained in the sealed helmet of the new wetsuit replaces all the air in the lungs, nostrils and ears, and it "filters" the carbon dioxide in the blood through the artificial gills attached to the femoral vein, which provides life to the diver through the oxygen in the liquid.

In this way, divers no longer have to worry about developing decompression sickness, because nitrogen will dissolve into the bloodstream due to excessive pressure in deep water, and when the diver suddenly surfaces, the nitrogen will be released in large quantities, causing decompression sickness.

Qin Shiou thought this thing was good. He can control the sea, but he can't avoid decompression sickness caused by water pressure in his body, and if he has this diving suit, then he can enter the deeper sea, and he doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the big water monster under the sea anyway.

After listening to Rejek's introduction, Qin Shiou bought this diving suit, and he had no psychological pressure at all about breathing liquids, because he had a strong confidence in controlling liquids through Guò Seagod consciousness before.

Fluorocarbons are not water. But after all, it is a liquid, the same origin, and it can be adapted.

The suit costs $11,000, which is twice as expensive as the Laicab wetsuit. Five times the price of a nylon wetsuit!

Billy wasn't interested in the suit, and he told Qin Shiou that he had used it, yes. Breathing fluorocarbons doesn't kill you, but the feeling is worse than death: "You'll want to throw up." Even spit out your own! ”

Qin Shiou doesn't care, Lao Tzu is so capricious. What's going on?

Back at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou was about to change into a diving suit, but Balzac and his party found him and told him that the research ship was about to leave his fishing ground for the North Pole, and that they would conduct species research in the Arctic for at least a year.

Qin Shiou still likes these experts very much, they are very literati, they will not mess with the things in his fishing ground, and they can also issue various research reports for his fishing ground, such as the deep-sea fish in his fishing ground are particularly rich in DHA, such as the fish meat in his fishery contains higher protein content and so on.

Therefore, he was really reluctant to learn that Balzac and his party were leaving, and sincerely kept them to play for a few more days.

Balzac regretfully refused: "It's not that I don't want to stay, Qin, we have been living happily in your fishing grounds these days, but we have to go." We'll have to go to Toronto to replenish our supplies, and then take advantage of the melting ice on the Arctic shipping lanes in July and August to get to the North Pole. ”

Since people have something to do, then Qin Shiou can't keep the experts, Balzac also feels good about him, invites him to have time to play in the North Pole in the summer, and takes him to watch the different Arctic customs.

When Balzac left, he left him a report, more than 200 pages thick, full of research and analysis of the species in his fishing grounds, which he called the most perfect sea in the whole of North America.

Seeing off Balzac and his party, as the research ship went away, Qin Shiou changed into a diving suit and prepared to go into the water.

Billy and the Kraken helped attach his helmet and injected it with fluorocarbons.

According to Reyeke's teachings, Qin Shiou held his breath and didn't breathe for a while, and when he couldn't hold it anymore, he took a deep breath.

Just this mouthful, a stream of cold liquid went down his nose and entered his lungs, I can't say what it felt, Qin Shiou was a little nervous, but there was no discomfort, there was no nausea as Billy said, he felt like he was breathing during morning exercise in winter, and the air was very cold.

Billy gestured and asked Qin Shiou about the situation, and Qin Shiou smiled and gestured his thumb, meaning that he had no problem and could go to sea.

This time at sea, Qin Shiou's target was geoduck.

For a long time, he has eaten a lot of most of the aquatic products in Qin Shiou's fishing ground, but geoduck has eaten relatively little.

This is related to the survival habits of geoducks, which are "burrowing" animals on the seabed, and need divers to dive to the bottom of the sea and dig them out from burrows more than a meter deep.

Normally, geoduck lives on the seabed from the intertidal zone to depths of 100 meters, and is the world's longest surviving and largest burrowing clam, burrowing into the sediment at a depth of more than a metre at the bottom of the sea.

Qin Shiou searched in advance with the consciousness of the sea god, and found a geoduck gathering place in the sea area of the continental shelf with a depth of about 20 meters.

The cruiser drove over, and Qin Shiou fell into the water as soon as he leaned back, broke through the water and sank.

The coral reef had expanded to this place, and he quickly swam to the bottom of the water, followed by seeing the colorful coral reefs.

Billy, who was following him, obviously didn't know about the Daqin Fishing Ground and the coral reef, and when he saw these precious and lovely lives, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, he was so surprised! (To be continued......)
