Chapter 2: The Story of the Sea Dragon
It's very simple, but it's easier said than done, and it took a lot of effort to achieve today's achievements "Sea Dragon", and how many times he almost survived and finally achieved him. If he gave up his persistence and exploration and chose to seek perfection in the traditional way, then there would be no "sea dragon", and there would be no honor for his people to be entitled to establish the first sea "defense line" on the periphery of Xinsheng Island.
"Sea Dragon" was born in an ordinary family of the Bajau people, like many children of the Bajau people, they could not speak after birth, so they first learned to swim, and it was the most pleasant time to float on the sea in a handmade boat during the day, and it was their freedom to swim on the sea, and in the evening they returned to the houseboat or stilted upstairs to watch the sun disappear into the sea level, which was all their life. The vast sea is their homeland and the resources they rely on for survival, and the fish and shrimp in the sea are the sources that can be exchanged for living materials.
It was in this context that the trajectory of "Sea Dragon" took a different path, and he refused to do so after missing his first eardrum piercing, until he was 10 years old and no one forced him. But how many generations of Bajau people summed up the method to replace, this has become a problem he must face, because in such an ethnic group, if you can't dive into the sea at a certain depth, it is equivalent to losing the skill of survival, and a tribesman who can't bring harvest is destined to be tolerated by this ethnic group. In order to solve this problem, the sea dragon has tried countless times, hoping to resist the oppression caused by the sea through his own strong will, hoping to adapt himself to the high pressure in the deep sea without piercing the eardrum.
However, every time I dived to a certain depth, the pressure would come from all directions, and not only my ears would be painful, but my head would be so swollen that the air in my lungs would be squeezed out, making it difficult to hold my breath for a long time in the sea. After many attempts, "Sea Dragon" finally chose to give up at the age of 12, ready to accept the fate of being pierced eardrums.
However, just when he failed again and was about to return home, his foot stepped on a sea urchin hidden in the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea, and the severe pain made him feel like crying without tears.
After venting, nothing has changed, he is still a small point on earth, and he is still the boy who has to give in to fate. Flip aboard the boat and lie flat on a handmade boat called "lepa-lepa", looking at the clouds and the occasional seabird skimming the sky, and quietly thinking about your future life.
Lying down and watching the clouds in the sky, suddenly remembering the scene of blood flowing out every time I was injured, is all this also related to stress? Think about it
Next, he had a bold idea formed in his mind. Every time you dive to a certain depth, you will feel pain in your eardrum, which is caused by the pressure in your body being lower than the pressure caused by seawater. The next thing we need to think about is how to balance the internal and external pressures.
Thinking of this, the "Sea Dragon" suddenly felt enlightened, as if a brand new door was slowly opening in front of his eyes, revealing a shining light, attracting him to step into it step by step.
After clarifying the thoughts, then it is necessary to find a way to keep the pressure balance inside and outside the eardrum, and it is obviously unrealistic to simply practice and hope for habit. The only way to train your body to be able to regulate pressure and store more air for yourself is a complex process and a dangerous challenge. But for those who have just experienced disappointment or even despair in life, even a ray of light is enough for them to fight hard.
The Bajau people are able to carry out diving operations because of their exceptionally strong lung capacity and ability to hold their breath, ostensibly because of their living environment, but more because they are forced to wait. However, the life of diving and fishing for generations has brought a certain degree of physical evolution to the Bajau people, their lung function is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the perennial diving apnea practice, the Bajau people generally have a stronger apnea ability than ordinary people. Of course, it is not surprising that the ability of the lungs is stronger than that of ordinary people, but this is far from enough, it is difficult to support a longer period of deep-sea operations, after all, the pressure is getting more and more, and it is difficult to maintain the pressure balance simply by holding a breath.
So, he thought of the muscles and blood vessels, to be precise, the gap between the muscles and the oxygen-containing function of the blood, through continuous exercise, these two aspects can be strengthened to the greatest extent, so that there is more oxygen storage in the body after holding the breath, and this part of the oxygen can be transferred to any part of the body as needed, which can not only counteract the purpose of deep-sea pressure by increasing air locally, but also prevent too much air in the body from causing buoyancy, which is not conducive to the disadvantages of deep diving. Bringing in hidden air from all over the body when needed, and hiding it between muscles when it is not needed, requires strong muscles, and flexible muscle control, our body is a treasure trove that is just waiting to be further developed. "Sea Dragon" took the first step in the development of his own body, although he was tortured by himself, although the extreme training made him constantly dance on the tip of the knife of death, but he succeeded, and it was precisely because his ideology coincided with the "W.S" organization, after success, he was recruited to board the New Life Island and became today's "Sea Dragon Instructor......
