Chapter 221: The Eye of Rum
The moment the monster's head fell to the ground, Qiu Zhonghua showed a strange smile, but this smile quickly disappeared because the storm outside stopped.
Qiu Zhonghua stared at the entrance of the cave with round eyes, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed the words back.
Wei Chi stepped forward to take a closer look at the monster's head, and found that it was just an ordinary person's head, and from the face it looked like a woman, but the body was a man's.
Wei Chiran asked again: "What the hell is going on?" ”
The falcon raised its knife and picked up the monster's head, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully: "This thing doesn't bleed, what the hell is it?" ”
Qiu Zhonghua just remained silent, and the falcon swung its knife at the monster's head to one side, and then slowly stabbed the knife into Qiu Zhonghua's shoulder.
Saker said coldly: "He's a monster, you can't be too, right?" ”
Qiu Zhonghua endured it at first, but as the falcon's hand turned, Qiu Zhonghua finally cried out in pain and began to beg the falcon.
The falcon just stopped, but did not draw the knife, but said to the lieutenant slowly: "Remember, not everyone is worthy of your help and pity. ”
After speaking, the falcon patted his chest again and said, "Fang Xunyi, you also remember, both of you are guilty of this mistake, I remind you because you are using my body now!" ”
Qiu Zhonghua begged bitterly, but the falcon still didn't pull out the knife, but just stood there and said indifferently: "When you finish answering his question clearly, I will consider whether to pull it out." ”
Wei Chiran didn't stop the falcon, he had already suffered a loss, although in his eyes the falcon was also a monster, but at least what this monster said before was correct.
Wei Chiran squatted down and looked at Qiu Zhonghua and said: "If I were you, I would listen to him, believe me, if you don't say it again, he will make you feel that being able to die happily is a blessing from the previous life." ”
Qiu Zhonghua nodded vigorously.
Wei Chi asked: "So, now you start from the beginning, what is going on?" ”
Qiu Zhonghua's first sentence was: "Do you know black holes? ”
Wei Chiran was puzzled: "Black hole? ”
Saker said coldly: "Don't sell it, it's not for you to give a speech now, talk well!" ”
Qiu Zhonghua immediately nodded and said: "The black hole I am talking about refers to the black hole on the bottom of the sea, and there is also a dead hole, and some people call it a funnel......
The black hole Qiu Zhonghua refers to is the submarine funnel, the world's most famous ocean funnel is in the Ionian Sea in the eastern Mediterranean, there is a bottomless pit that has been swallowing large amounts of seawater for centuries.
In order to study this marine black hole, some people dissolved a dark dye in seawater, and then observed the nearby seas and surrounding islands and even the rivers and lakes on the mainland, because of the particularity of the dye, it will not be dissolved by the seawater, and can exist for at least a hundred years, but they have never found that the dye has reappeared, that is, the seawater flowing into the black hole has not gone to the surrounding sea or the lakes and rivers of the continent.
There is also such a place in the Bay of Bengal, but the size of the sea hole is much smaller than that of the Ionians, and the most important thing is that this kind of sea hole should affect the current, but the passing ships have never had any accidents because of the current, and they have never been affected by the change of seasons, and the sea above the black hole is always calm.
Qiu Zhonghua's father is an oceanographer, he admires his father very much, so he is also inspired to dedicate his life to the ocean, so Qiu Zhonghua also thinks that several friends who like sailing are all Singaporeans, namely Du Jianan, Ye Qianyun and Zhu Lili.
As soon as Qiu Zhonghua said this, the falcon actually started singing, and Wei Chiran looked at the falcon, wondering what was wrong with this person?
But the falcon was surprised and said, "Haven't you heard? This is the theme song of the 1985 Singapore TV series "People on the Journey", which is very classic. ”
Wei Chi said: "I'm sorry, I wasn't born in 1985. ”
The falcon suddenly realized, "Oh, yes. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Let me ask more, why are you singing this?" ”
Saker said: "The names of his friends Du Jianan and Ye Qianyun appeared in that TV series?" ”
As he spoke, the falcon slapped Qiu Zhonghua in the face: "What the hell are you fooling me!?" ”
Qiu Zhonghua was really wronged by the slap, because his two friends did call this name, and after some explanation, the falcon didn't say anything anymore, but said, "Go on." ”
Wei Chiran immediately answered: "Don't sing anymore." ”
The falcon just winked at the captain, who really wanted to pull out his gun and blow him in the head.
Half a year ago, Qiu Zhonghua, Du Jianan, Ye Qianyun and Zhu Lili began to study the ocean black hole called "Room's Eye" in the Bay of Bengal.
The meaning and origin of the word rum Qiu Zhonghua's father has studied it for a long time, and the legend is that it was given by the local fishermen, but in the languages of the countries and even the indigenous people near the sea, the word rum is not pronounced, and it is guessed that it should mean "peace".
For Qiu Zhonghua and others, research requires field investigations, and their voyage is largely driven by vanity, except for Qiu Zonghua, none of the four of them have studied oceanography, just hoping that if they find out the truth, they can become famous in the world, even if they can't find out, their adventures this time, the whole process will be recorded, and they will be noticed on the Internet.
When Qiu Zhonghua enthusiastically informed his father of the plan, he was reprimanded by his father, who told Qiu Zhonghua that studying the ocean was not to satisfy his vanity.
Of course, Qiu Zhonghua didn't listen to it, on the contrary, he felt that since this was the case, then I would cover up my vanity and repackage myself.
However, Qiu Zhonghua and others also made all the preparations they thought and rented a large yacht with very complete instruments and equipment, of course, this yacht was refitted, and Du Jianan rented it from a black market supplier through a relationship, and it could travel nearly 2,000 nautical miles, and it was completely possible to travel from Malaysia to the location of the Eye of Rum.
Wei Chiran asked, "You are from Malaysia?" ”
Saker interjected next to him, "Singapore is next to Malaysia." ”
Wei Chi said: "I know, I mean why don't they just set off from Singapore. ”
Qiu Zhonghua's explanation is: "Because the place of delivery is Malaysia, and the place of delivery is relatively close to the Eye of Rum. ”
Wei said slowly: "Go on." ”
After the four of them got the boat, they immediately restocked, fuel, food, related diving equipment, etc., as well as some medical supplies that they thought might be used, and then set off for the Eye of Rum at night.
After arriving at the Eye of Rum, the four of them immediately lowered their detectors to explore the surroundings, but found nothing, found nothing, and the wind was calm and did not encounter any accidents.
It stands to reason that such a result should satisfy the four people, after all, safety comes first.
But how can it be called an adventure without thrills? Therefore, Qiu Zhonghua proposed to dive to see the underwater black hole, but was immediately rejected by the other three.
The reason of the three of them is very simple, since it is a black hole under the sea, since it is a funnel, what if you dive and get sucked in? Once that kind of accident happens, the gods can't save it.
But Qiu Zhonghua insisted on going, he didn't want to be everyone's laughing stock, after all, he had already released bold words, he must find out the truth about the undersea black hole in this adventure, even if he couldn't find it, he had to take a close-up shot of the undersea black hole.
Because of this adventure, most of the funds came from Qiu Zhonghua, and after the other three discussed, Zhu Lili dived with him.
An important reason why Zhu Lili volunteered to go is that the relationship between her and Qiu Zhonghua is ambiguous, although she is not a boyfriend and girlfriend, but she almost pierced that layer of window paper.
But at the moment when Qiu Zhonghua was about to enter the water, an accident happened, and he had an asthma attack.
Fortunately, Qiu Zhonghua carries inhalers with him, so there is no danger, which is also an important reason why his father forbade him to participate in diving, because the water temperature is too low underwater, accidentally inhaling seawater, and the sudden appearance of animals in the water will cause people to be frightened and cause people to rise quickly, etc., will induce asthma, and even the tight trachea will cause the lungs to be overinflated, resulting in pneumothorax and even lung bursting.
Even so, Qiu Zhonghua still insisted on going into the water, and even became very irritable, Du Jiannan was also angry, so he and his girlfriend Ye Qianyun went directly into the water, and they replaced Qiu Zhonghua to photograph the black hole under the sea.
Who knew that after Du Jiannan and Ye Qianyun went into the water, they didn't come up for half an hour, which made Qiu Zhonghua and Zhu Lili feel very scared, the most important reason is that in fact, no one knows what the depth distance from the sea surface to the location of the black hole is, and they carry the so-called oxygen cylinder, that is, the compressed air cylinder can stay underwater for about twenty minutes at most, and this value is still measured according to the value of the air they breathe every minute on land.
Therefore, after half an hour, the two still did not come up, which made Qiu Zhonghua and Zhu Lili very scared.
After another ten minutes, the two still didn't come up, Qiu Zhonghua couldn't wait any longer, so he had to tell Zhu Lili that if he didn't come up for fifteen minutes after he got into the water, then immediately let her send a signal for help.
Let's say that, Qiu Zhonghua also jumped into the water and dived directly towards the location of the black hole on the bottom of the sea.
Strange to say, there was almost nothing to be seen below the sea except for sand and gravel, no fish or shrimp, no sea creatures, and no suction was felt.
After Qiu Zhonghua dived, he saw bursts of bubbles coming out below, looked carefully there, and found that there was a crack about four meters long under the seabed, and the bubbles were generated by the crack, but the black hole that should have been there was nowhere to be seen.
On top of that, there are also two huge logs in place of the mouth of the crack, and there are four legs under the logs.
When Qiu Zhonghua saw the four legs, he knew that it must be Du Jian and Ye Qianyun, so he immediately dived down, trying to push the two logs away and release the two of them.
Who knew that the log didn't seem to be heavy, Qiu Zhonghua pushed it away without much force, and then immediately took off the weight on the two bodies, dragged them and swam upward.
After arriving at the yacht above, the two began to administer first aid, but found that Du Jianan and Ye Qianyun had just fainted, still breathing, and there was no problem with their heart rate or anything.
After about ten minutes, Ye Qianyun woke up and found that she had returned to the boat, breathing a sigh of relief, and then she cried out of fear, and said vaguely what hand grabbed her or something.
These words made Du Zhonghua and Zhu Lili very strange, did Ye Qianyun hallucinate?
