The South Pacific region is the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, about south of the equator to 60 degrees south latitude.

There are many islands in this area, the climate in the north is mostly tropical, the central is subtropical, and the sea south of Australia and New Zealand is mainly temperate climate, with a large area and rich seafood and tourism resources.

Compared to the South Atlantic, the South Pacific Ocean is not an ocean, but a dot of small islands.

Since the South Pacific Ocean is located in the southern part of the Pacific Rim section, there are many volcanic islands along the edges of the plate, mainly concentrated in the southwest Pacific Ocean.

These volcanic islands were inhabited by humans during tens of thousands of years of human migration, and have evolved into today's "Pacific Cultural Sphere" in the South Pacific.

Of course, there are also many scholars who believe that these small islands in the South Pacific are actually the wreckage left behind by the sinking of the legendary Mu continent.

This is because archaeologists have found many inexplicable artifacts on the islands in the area, and they have a clear consistency.

There are many island countries in the South Pacific, but they are all veritable pocket countries, they are small countries with few people, all island countries have a total land area of only 550,000 square kilometers, and the total population is only more than 7.5 million.

Papua New Guinea, the largest, has a land area of 462,800 square kilometers and a population of 5.3 million.

However, the South Pacific region has a very beautiful environment, and each island is blessed with unique tourism resources.

The natural scenery of the sea and the sky and the unique tropical atmosphere attract tourists from all over the world, making the tourism industry boom.

In addition, the South Pacific island countries are rich in fruit resources, aquatic resources and mineral resources.

Tahiti produces more than 80% of the world's noni fruit, and about 95% of the world's noni products originate from Tahiti.

It accounts for more than 50% of the world's tuna production, and about 55% of the world's canned tuna is produced in the South Pacific.

Papua New Guinea is rich in fisheries, including tuna, prawns and lobsters, with tuna reserves accounting for 20% of the world's total reserves and a potential annual catch of 400,000 tonnes.

In addition, Papua New Guinea is also rich in mineral deposits, in addition to rich resources such as seabed natural gas and oil, it has copper ore reserves of 944 million tons and gold reserves of 1,831 tons.

Nauru, the smallest country in the South Pacific, was once the richest of these island nations.

Although the country is currently in a difficult economic and financial situation and is heavily dependent on foreign aid, it still has relatively rich phosphate resources and fishery resources.

In Nauru's 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, the potential annual catch of tuna is about 40,000 tonnes.

However, these are all in the southwestern part of the South Pacific, and in the southeastern part of the South Pacific, the situation is very different.

In the southeastern part of the South Pacific, there are many islands, but they are very sparsely populated, and there are many islands that have not been discovered by humans.

Because the South Pacific Ocean is so large that it occupies one-sixth of the Earth's surface. But it is true that the population is only one thousandth of the world's population.

In the South Pacific, 90% of the population is concentrated in the southwest.

As a result, there is not much sea or air transport in the southeastern part of the South Pacific, and most of the islands are far from the range of human activities.

And now that global temperatures are rising, sea levels are also rising, and many islands are in danger of being submerged, there is a growing interest in finding small islands in the southeastern South Pacific.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan was given this opportunity. If he could indeed find an undiscovered island suitable for human habitation, it would be entirely possible for him to gain all the power of the island.

Lu Yuan had been in the sea for seven days in a row, and now he was far away from civilized society.

He hadn't seen a single piece of land with human activity for three days since he left Nanxinguo.

Looking at the sea water, it is still sea water, and as for the legendary sea monster, he naturally has not seen it.

However, his water escape technique is becoming more and more proficient, and now he can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour with all his strength.

But he didn't feel much joy about it. After not seeing land for a long time, he had gradually become agitated.

The sky was gradually darkening, and Lu Yuan was very disappointed in his heart when a small black dot suddenly appeared in the direction of his east.

"Land!"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, and he lifted his spirits and fled to the black spot as fast as he could.

Half an hour later, he finally reached his destination.

This is indeed a small island, but its area is too small, Lu Yuan visually inspected, its area is only about half a football field the size.

There are only a few shrub-like plants on it, but there are no freshwater resources necessary for human life.

All in all, it's a standard desert island.

Although this island is uninhabitable, Lu Yuan is still very happy, because he has checked the information, this small island has not been recorded before, and it does not belong to any known country or region.

"It seems that there are still small islands in the South Pacific that have not been found!"

The discovery of this small island once again strengthened Lu Yuan's confidence.

"The South Pacific Ocean is so big, you can definitely find a suitable island!"

Rest on the island for a day and wait until all mental, physical and spiritual powers have recovered.

Lu Yuan once again performed the "Water Escape Technique" and jumped into the sea.

After patrolling the waters around the island, Lu Yuan discovered that under the surface of the water where the island was located was actually a huge submarine mountain range.

This discovery made Lu Yuan excited, because the existence of submarine mountains meant that there must be places outcropping nearby.

What's more, the place where the island is located is just the edge of this huge mountain range.

Anyone who knows anything about mountains knows that the highest peak of a mountain range rarely appears on the edge of a mountain range.

Lu Yuan also deduced from the location of the island that it is likely that there are higher peaks in this mountain range that have emerged from the water and become islands.

Lu Yuan walked about 59 kilometers to the east and found that the mountain range had branched out, with two directions, one to the north and one to the east.

After some thought, he decided to head north first.

Because the north is closer to the known civilized world, if you can find a suitable island in the north, it will be much easier to build and develop in the future.

Having made up his mind, Lu Yuan used the Water Escape Technique to escape north along the undersea mountain range.

A day later, a small island was found outcropping.

This small island is a bit larger than the previous one, about 0.3 square kilometers. There is also more vegetation for these. However, there is still no fresh water on the island.

I ate on the island and erected a stone monument on the island by the way.

Lu Yuan's bad taste came up all of a sudden, and he engraved the three seal characters of "Abbot Island" on the stone tablet with a big seal.

Just because of Lu Yuan's spoof, it also led to a big debate in the archaeological community hundreds of years later because of his three words.

After doing this, Lu Yuan continued on the road, and now he no longer had a sense of anxiety in his heart.

The appearance of two small islands in a row made Lu Yuanjue's chances of finding a big island bigger and bigger.

After leaving the island, Lu Yuan continued to follow the direction of the mountain range to the north.

Because his mind had regained his peace, his speed slowed down.

As he stalked, he began to observe his surroundings and creatures.

On the way, he also came across a huge blue-jain tuna, which he had hoped to catch.

This tuna is much larger than the largest tuna ever caught by humans.

If you catch it and send it to the Japanese slave country for auction, it should be worth a lot of money.

However, in the end, Lu Yuan gave up this plan, because when he was acting, he suddenly felt that it was not easy for a tuna to grow so big.

It is a sin for such a darling of nature to be brought to the table like this.

didn't know that he had already caught a round of tuna in front of Lord Yama, but he became interested in Lu Yuan and swam with Lu Yuan for several hours before leaving.

"Maybe he was also curious, how could there be such a strange creature in the ocean!"

After separating from this tuna, Lu Yuan soon encountered another group of whales. It was a pod of fin whales.

Fin whales, also known as fin whales, fin whales, razor whales, herring whales or finwhales, weigh up to 120 tons and the smallest is 57 tons, with an average total length of 19.5 meters, making it the second largest whale after blue whales.

Fin whales were heavily fished during the 20th century and are still endangered.

The group of fin whales that Lu Yuan saw were more than twenty.

This made Lu Yuan super shocked, because it had been a long, long time since there had been such a large fin whale group in the world.

After seeing this group of fin whales, Lu Yuan took out his underwater shooting equipment in surprise. The whole whale group was filmed.

In the process, Lu Yuan also unexpectedly found that two fin whales had a round thing on their backs.

The dense feeling was very disgusting, and Lu Yuan also felt that the two whales seemed to be tortured by that kind of thing very painfully.

When these two whales first saw Lu Yuan, they were a little scared, but they soon took the initiative to approach Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan sensed from their eyes that these two whales were asking for help from him.

This is also very strange to Lu Yuan, he found that he can now understand some of the emotions of sea creatures.

After Lu Yuan understood what the two whales meant, he began to help the two whales clean up the things on their bodies.

When Lu Yuan was cleaning up, he found that the small round things attached to the whale had a strong adsorption force.

In order to clean up those things, Lu Yuan spent a whole day. It wasn't done until the physical strength was almost exhausted.

After the attachments on their bodies were cleaned up, the two whales swam around Lu Yuan happily, as if thanking Lu Yuan.

Not long after Lu Yuan left the whale group, he found an island in the north, which was much larger than the original two islands, with an area of at least 3 square kilometers, and there was not only fresh water on the island, but also a stream......
