?“ Can you not go? ”

Liu Mang asked with a smile.

He clearly knows how dangerous it is in the Bermuda Triangle, after all, before he crossed over, Liu Mang was not only keen on understanding military magazines, but also very keen on the strange places in the world.

Take this Bermuda Triangle for example!

"Is this Bermuda Triangle so scary?"

Tang Xinyi suddenly asked puzzled.

An Ran and Tan Xiaolin looked at Liu Mang one after another, and they all wanted to get a reply!

They all know why Liu Mang is preparing to shut down the engine that may have the heavy handle of terrorists and anchor the cruise ship!

Like the captain of the No. 123 North Sea patrol ship, he was afraid that the ship would enter it!

The first person in human history to venture through the Bermuda Triangle was the world's famous navigator Christopher Columbus. Liu Mang looked at Tan Xiaolin, An Ran, and Tang Xinyi and said.

"In 1502, the ocean-going fleet led by Christopher Columbus made its fourth voyage to the Americas. As the fleet approached Bermuda, a sudden strong wind blew on the sea, and the ships seemed to sail between the gorges, barely visible of the day.

Columbus, who had extensive seafaring experience, hurriedly reverted the fleet and approached the coast of Florida to avoid the ferocious storm. To Columbus's astonishment, all the ship's navigational instruments were out of order, and the helmsmen and sailors were so confused that they could not make out their directions.

As luck would have it, the fleet eventually staggered out of danger between the crests and troughs. Subsequent inspection revealed that the pointer of the ship's magnetic compass had deviated by 36° from due north to northwest.

Finally, a reluctant Columbus wrote a letter to the king about this perilous experience. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Mang paused and asked, "Do you know what he said in his heart?" ”

"I don't know!"

Tan Xiaolin and the three of them subconsciously shook their heads.

In the letter, Christopher Columbus described this thrilling voyage as follows: "At that time, the waves were rolling for eight or nine days, and I could not see the sun or the stars with either eye...... I've seen storms in my life, but I've never seen a storm so long and so violent! Liu Mang said.

"Oh!"

The third girl responded, and the soldier felt how terrible this was, and even subconsciously said: "It should just be a big storm at sea, in that case, it's normal to not see the sun and stars!" ”

Liu Mang: "......"

Sure enough, women's heads are very simple.

After a second of silence, Liu Mang spoke again: "The earliest record of the mysterious disappearance of ships and seafarers in the Bermuda Triangle with men and ships is in 1840. At that time, a ship "Rosaari", which had set sail from France, carrying a large quantity of perfume and wine, sailed to the vicinity of Cuba and lost contact.

A few weeks later, the Navy found the Rosali in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle, showing no signs of damage, the ship was empty, and the crew seemed to have vanished. But the cargo in the hold was intact and the fruit was still fresh. ”

The words stopped, and Liu Mang asked: "Do you still think it's just an ordinary, common storm at sea?" ”

Tan Xiaolin, An Ran, and Tang Xinyi were silent, as if they realized that they might have said the wrong flower just now!

So I didn't say a word.

"This is only an event recorded in the historical Bermuda Triangle, and the natural environment of Bermuda is not very good, which is not conducive to the navigation of ships at all!" Liu Mang said.

"What is the location of the Bermuda Triangle?" An Ran suddenly wondered.

"The Bermuda Triangle is located between the islands of Bermuda on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean, the Strait of Florida and the island of Puerto Rico at the eastern end of the Greater Antilles. Most of them are located between 20°~30°N latitude and belong to the northern tropics. It is mainly controlled by tropical air masses throughout the year, and northeast trade winds prevail. Liu Mang said.

"Tropical hurricanes in summer and autumn, with roaring winds, often form a wall of water more than 10 meters high, and often encounter seaspouts, which can suck seawater to a height of several thousand meters, casting a terrible shadow on navigation."

"Moreover, the Bermuda Triangle is located on the northern edge of the crustal fault zone between South and North America, and the volcanic and seismic activity is very strong, and the seafloor topography is very complex. Underneath the Bermuda Triangle is mostly the North Asian American Basin, which is 6,000 meters deep; To the north is the Bermuda Terrace, which juts out of the surrounding abyssal basin, to the west and southwest is a vast continental shelf close to the mainland and archipelago, and to the south is the Puerto Rico Trench, which is 9,215 meters deep. ”

"Whew!"

Liu Mang took a deep breath and said: "To be precise, the waters in the Bermuda Triangle are not suitable for the navigation of ships at all, I think this group of armed terrorists, looking in this direction, must have a place to settle there!" ”

"Otherwise, without a local guide to guide the way, you will definitely die if you go in!"

"What do you mean by that?" Tan Xiaolin was also curious.

"Because the Bermuda Triangle is close to the Gulf of Mexico, where there are clearly prominent peninsulas such as the Florida Peninsula and the Yucatan Peninsula, as well as the more enclosed Gulf of Mexico that is enclosed by the peninsulas, and there are numerous islands and straits: more than 1,200 islands, such as the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles." Liu Mang said.

"The islands face the vast Atlantic Ocean and shield the Caribbean Sea, greatly increasing the complexity of ocean currents. The North Equatorial Current turns northwest over most of the Antilles and passes through the Bermuda Triangle. ”

"In addition, the Florida Current, which flows from the Gulf of Mexico through the Florida Strait, is very strong, with a width of 150 kilometers and a depth of 800 meters, with a flow speed of 130~150 kilometers per day and night. Such a "mighty army" also passed through the Bermuda Triangle sea area! ”

"Whew!"

Speaking of this, Liu Mang's breath took another heavy breath of fresh air and said: "Such an intricate environment causes the ocean currents in the Bermuda Triangle to be quite complicated, and the currents are fierce, even if there is no strange weather on the face, or it is strange afterward, in this natural environment, without the guidance of a guide who knows the way, it is bound to die!" ”

"Our current cruise ship mainly crosses the straits of Europe, Asia and Africa, and does not have a side with the Bermuda Triangle at all, which means that there will be basically no people who know the way, and if you go in, you will be sent to death!"

"Whew!"

As Liu Mang's words fell one after another, Tan Xiaolin and the three of them all took a deep breath, and a strong shock flashed on their faces in their beautiful eyes!

I really didn't expect the Bermuda Triangle to be so dangerous!

"It's okay if we die, what about the thirty or so Chinese civilians behind us?"

Suddenly, just when the three of them were shocked, Liu Mang's voice resounded again!
