Chapter 157: Seabed Exploration
Under the current United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the area within 12 nautical miles offshore is counted as the territorial sea of the State, and the area within 200 nautical miles offshore is counted as the exclusive economic zone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, the location that Yuan Haochen just deduced is still within the jurisdiction of the Dubai government.
"Uh......, is this the location where alien technology is hidden?"
Although Yang Zhonglin, Huang Zizhu, Yao Cheng and others have not yet kept up with the rhythm of Yuan Haochen, they will definitely understand what the intersection of these three circles of unequal size means.
What they didn't expect was that things would go so smoothly.
Yuan Haochen had only been here for less than an hour, and he had neatly determined the target.
"Happiness came too suddenly......"
"Sure enough, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and as soon as the east wind arrives, the problem will be solved."
Looking at Yuan Haochen's determined expression, everyone was happy, and the doubts in their hearts naturally retreated.
Obviously, Yuan Haochen came prepared!
From his performance just now, it can be seen that this is definitely not a place to point out with a slap on the head.
"Haha, I was still thinking that if Dr. Hara could demarcate a small area on the map, then our search would be much easier." Captain Yao Cheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and laughed, "I never expected that Dr. Yuan would directly mark the coordinates for us." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I have the key information." Yuan Haochen explained disapprovingly.
"However, this position was only preliminarily determined based on the clues I received. If you want to be completely sure, you have to take a helicopter to circle the entire Gulf area, as Director Yang said. Otherwise, I can directly determine this position for you when I am on Mars. ”
"Out of the way, out of the way, we can do a search based on this location first. At the same time, you can also make further judgments based on the situation on the ground. ”
Seeing Yuan Haochen's rigorous attitude, Yang Zhonglin immediately expressed his support.
"Also, if my judgment is accurate, there may be a range of error in this position. Unsurprisingly, the margin of error should be within one kilometer. Yuan Haochen added.
"It's enough, don't say one kilometer, even if the error is 10 kilometers, it will save us a lot of manpower, material and financial resources!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhonglin and Huang Zizhu already had excited expressions.
"That's good." Yuan Haochen smiled and nodded.
"I can't wait, let's go out now."
"Agreed! Agree! ”
It seems that the search for the project team has indeed waited too long, and it is estimated that the top management of the alliance has also put a lot of pressure on them.
Therefore, when Yuan Haochen locked on the target area, everyone was like a fire under the chair, burning their buttocks and burning their hearts, eager to rush to that place right now.
......
Fifty or sixty nautical miles is not a long distance.
The three Ghosts, at a speed of 40 knots, arrived at the area locked by Yuan Chenchen in just over an hour.
Yuan Haochen did not take the Ghost, but took advantage of the Ghost's voyage to take a helicopter to observe back and forth in the nearby bay area several times.
Not long after the arrival of the three Ghosts, the helicopter that Yuan Haochen was riding also slowly landed on the deck of the Ghost 1.
"How's it going, is there a catch?" Yang Zhonglin asked expectantly.
"Based on field observations, my previous judgment should be fine, and I would like to know about the water depth here." Yuan Haochen said calmly.
"Hurry up, let's find out the depth of the water first, as well as the surrounding hydrological conditions." Because they are all Chinese, Yang Zhonglin spoke directly in Chinese.
"The average depth of the water is 96 meters."
Spectre 1 soon received preliminary measurements.
Yuan Haochen secretly thought in his heart, this water depth was consistent with the water depth of the area where he followed the artificial intelligence of Genesis 8. This also further verifies my judgment, it should be eight or nine is not far from ten.
"Dr. Hara, what do you think?"
"Now I can almost conclude that the target should be buried nearly 100 times below the seabed in the nearby sea."
Yuan Haochen reminded Yang Zhonglin and the others with great certainty.
"It's really good that the first round of search target areas was within 5 kilometers of the point identified by Dr. Yuan."
Chief engineer Huang Zizhu immediately formulated a search plan based on Yuan Haochen's judgment.
After discussion, like the Ghost 1, the captains of the Ghost 2 and 3 quickly began to direct their respective ocean exploration ships to carry out seabed exploration operations in the division of labor.
Similar to the principle of exploring the structure of seabed oil and gas and some seabed sedimentary deposits, if you want to find the [Source of Creation] hidden under the seabed, you can use marine geophysical survey to search.
Marine geophysical survey methods include: ocean gravity, ocean magnetism, and marine seismic (high-pressure air guns can "shoot" high-pressure air into the water in a very short time, stirring up bubbles, which then oscillate, producing man-made earthquakes).
Marine geophysical surveys observe geophysical fields inherent to the Earth itself, such as gravity, magnetism, heat flux, and natural earthquakes, as well as geophysical fields excited by artificial methods, such as artificial earthquakes and electrical methods.
Its working principle is the same as that of the ground physical survey method, but because the former working site is at sea, there are special requirements for instrumentation equipment and working methods, and the survey ship needs to be equipped with special ship chord gravimeter, marine nuclear precession magnetometer, marine seismic geophone and other instruments.
The exploration of the three Ghost ocean exploration vessels was carried out very carefully.
An hour later, the first probes were collected.
After the data is collected, various follow-up work such as analysis and modeling of the data is required. Of course, this is all done by supercomputers.
After repeated calculations, the supercomputer quickly simulated a 3D model of the seabed and underground rock and soil layers based on the data detected by the Ghost.
"The seabed topography in this sea area is not complicated, it is very flat."
"Unfortunately, from the 3D model, the rock and soil layers within 200 meters below the seabed in this area are compact, and the target should not be in this area."
Although they didn't find out where the target was at the first time, everyone was not disappointed.
After all, this part of the data is only a small part of the error range of the original Haochen's locked area, and there are still many places waiting for them to explore.
"We're moving on to the next target area."
Chief Engineer Huang Zizhu is the technical leader of this operation, and based on his previous work experience, he naturally does not think that he will be so lucky to find the target in the first exploration.
The search continued, and just as evening approached, Spectre II suddenly received exciting news.
"Find the suspected target, find the suspected target."
"Great!"
"Transmit the relevant information immediately!"
Three minutes later, a clear 3D model image of the seabed and underground rock and soil layers was vividly displayed in front of Yuan Haochen and others......
