Chapter 775: Trashman
The audience who learned the truth booed. Bi Fang smiled and shook his head.
No one can be sure if there are large creatures at Nemo Point, after all, the ocean is so big that we know much more about the surface of Mars and the Moon than we know about the depths of the ocean.
But the so-called strange noise is definitely not made by any monster.
In the afternoon, Bi Fang dived again, but the result was still nothing, proving that nothing in the morning was not accidental.
Although the two dives did not encounter anything, it gave the audience an impressive lesson and a deeper understanding of the impression caused by the so-called South Pacific gyre.
There are also some snakes and lizards in the desert, and there is hardly any trace of life on Nemo Point, except for some bacteria on the bottom of the sea
"Nemo Point is so remote that it avoids the ocean circulation of the South Pacific, which is so immobile that it is nutrient deficient, and it's so far away from the mainland that organic matter washed into the sea on land can't reach it, making marine microbes extremely scarce."
"In addition, glacial meltwater, which is rich in organic matter in the North and South Poles, cannot flow here, resulting in an extreme lack of organic matter to support marine life, and even deep-sea ecosystems cannot be established, and only the seabed microorganisms that rely on deep-sea hydrothermal vents to survive can open up a new world here."
"But the bottom of the sea is at least a few hundred meters, I can't dive alone, we've been sailing for nearly six days, basically far from the continental shelf, and the water here is at least a thousand meters deep."
There was regret in Bi Fang's tone. [Humans have limits] [Nonsense, human beings have limits, but Fang Shen doesn't!]
[Do you mean that Boss Fang is not a human (dog head)]
[It is recommended to give Lao Fang a DNA test, I have suspected his human composition for a long time] [Identified, not a drop of human blood] on the seventh day.
The broadcast of the finale of stealth tracking, as well as yesterday's diving, brought back some popularity to the live broadcast room, and the number of people returned to more than six million, but more of them were asking about the details of Bi Fang's escape.
It wasn't until the evening that Bi Fang finally encountered an accident.
Dusk covered the entire sea, the golden light was dazzling, Bi Fang squinted, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed ahead: "There is something ahead."
[Something?] [What?] [What are you?]
[Float over, what a big piece!] Is it a fish?]
[Even if a fish floats on the surface of the sea, it dies, right?] What kind of garbage should it be] [Damn, the earth is too polluted, right, the garbage has drifted here?]
[What is this, haven't you seen a garbage island in the Pacific?] Just between the waters between California and Hawaii, the area is equivalent to two ugly Texas states!]
Under the sunset, I can't see what is floating over, but I can only roughly perceive what it is, not like a living thing.
Bi Fang picked up the oars and rowed in the direction of the "garbage".
The distance between the two was not very far, and when they got closer to more than thirty meters, Bi Fang finally saw what it was, and he was disappointed.
What rubbish!
After glancing at it, Bi Fang's interest was greatly reduced: "It's space junk." [Garbage, that's fine] [grass, white excited]
[I'm the Pacific Trashman!] [What is space junk?] [is dry garbage]
With the development of human spaceflight, more and more spacecraft of all kinds have been sent into space, and after helping mankind to complete the mission of exploring the universe, the recovery cost of these spacecraft is too great and they can only be abandoned.
The abandoned spacecraft will either continue to orbit and become useless space junk, or they will return to Earth and burn up.
"Over the past 40 years, the Earth has received more than 5,400 tons of space junk."
"In the process of falling, most of this garbage burned up in the atmosphere due to the high temperature, and some of the unburned ones fell to the earth's surface. But because the earth is full of living things, if you are not careful, it is easy to cause casualties."
"But the fall of space junk is not as good as that of a rocket launch, and it can be accurately calculated and determined to determine the landing point, so it must be in an open enough place."
Worldwide Appropriate Range...... Needless to say, the audience instantly understood. Isn't Nemo Point the best place to be?
No one cares, not even a complete ecological chain, no impact on people and animals, and the nearby vast sea, will not cause fires, it is simply a natural receiving field, and it is even inconvenient to salvage it to avoid being stolen.
As a result, Nemo Point is the most ideal place to discard old rockets and satellites. It doesn't hurt the crowd and doesn't cause a disaster.
"It is said that more than 100 decommissioned spacecraft have fallen here so far, and we are lucky enough to have picked up the wreckage."
Bi Fang salvaged the fragments and found that they were quite large, half the size of a thigh, and the shape was flat. It should be the outer shell of the satellite. [So is this thing valuable?]
The audience is more concerned about this issue. This is aerospace technology!
"A little, but not so valuable, maybe sell to a collector?" Bi Fang thought about it and said sincerely.
But if there is a little bit of high-tech value in it, it is impossible for countries to pile up and throw the pieces here. Think about the few big countries that can engage in satellites, which one is not vast.
Can't really find a wasteland to throw satellites?
After disintegration, and then atmospheric incineration, there is very little left.
"I remember last month there were also rate ice fishermen who found some giant wreckage at sea with Chinese and Chinese flags. It's quite big, five meters long and one meter wide, and after the incident, the fishermen reported the incident as soon as possible."
"Later, according to the judgment of the Philippine space department, it was found to be the wreckage of the spacecraft, which was part of the fairing of the launch vehicle. But we didn't even ask for it."
The fairing is located on the top of the launch vehicle, responsible for protecting the satellite and other payloads, the main body is usually made of aluminum-magnesium alloy \ carbon fiber and other materials, although the volume is not small, but not very heavy.
This makes the fairing wreckage not sink directly to the bottom of the sea after falling into the Pacific Ocean, coupled with factors such as ocean current movement, it is normal for fishermen from neighboring countries to find it.
Therefore, its greatest value is the collection value. Maybe a few thousand dollars?
Bi Fang didn't know much about the collection value of this thing, and the interlaced lines were like mountains, but he thought it shouldn't be too valuable.
"But it's a material, you can keep it, maybe you can use it."
"It's windy today, we have to hurry up and can't miss this opportunity." Shoved the fragments onto the Viking, Bi Fang felt the direction of the wind and continued to move forward.
