Lu Yuan washed his face in the stream on the island and turned on the positioning system excitedly.

As a result, it was regrettable to find that this island had been discovered a long time ago, and although it was uninhabited, it clearly belonged to the southern new country.

"Alas, it seems that there is no joy!"

Lu Yuan sighed and took out tents, tables and chairs, and other things.

After searching for so long at sea, he also felt very tired.

With its mountains and waters, and beautiful scenery, this island is a complete holiday destination.

Lu Yuan decided to live here for a while, and then he needed to relax properly after working for too long.

Cooking tea and pouring ink poems,

Read the rain, listen to the wind, and ask nature.

Qianmo leisurely Heng Xiaoqu,

The sunset is drunk and beautiful.

Lu Yuan stayed on the island for three days, and he felt a little happy.

Lu Yuan drank the last cup of tea and sighed,

"This place is good, but it's not a place for long-term love!"

He slowly got up from the recliner and looked at the rising sun that had just risen from the sea.

With a lazy smile on his face, he stretched his body.

After doing some simple exercises, he put all the things he had used in the past few days into the Xiaoding space.

With that, he came to a reef in the middle of the sea and looked back at the island where he had been three days.

Then he laughed and jumped into the water to continue his journey to find the island.

All the way north, Lu Yuan found that the sea water was getting clearer and clearer, and at first, he thought it was because there were fewer traces of human activity in this area.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, because there were fewer and fewer creatures in the ocean, and in the end it was difficult to see a fish.

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he had probably entered the legendary ocean desert. It is what people call the Devil's Sea.

At the center of the South Pacific whirlpool, there has always been an "inaccessible ocean pole (Cape Nemo)", where a large number of abandoned man-made spacecraft are buried, and no one has been able to set foot in this sea area so far.

However, in addition to the spacecraft graveyard, there is also a huge "desert" hidden in the stormy waters of the South Pacific...

The South Pacific Circulation is one of the Earth's five major transoceanic currents, covering 10% of the world's ocean surface.

But in terms of marine biology, this area is often considered a "marine desert".

Due to a series of unknown factors, organic life in this body of water is very scarce and its biodiversity is very low.

The amount of life in it is not even as good as the real desert on land, so many scientists call him the forbidden area of life, the devil's sea, and the ocean desert.

For a long time, scientists have been desperately unstudied, the water is so far from the mainland, and it is very large, with a total area of 37 million square kilometers, equivalent to the territory of the three largest countries in the world combined.

Not only that, but the intensity of ultraviolet radiation in this area is significantly higher than in other parts of the planet.

In addition, the current vortex of the South Pacific Ocean has caused the various parts of the ocean to be isolated from each other. This has also made it much more difficult to study this area.

Despite the challenges, human scientists are doing everything they can to explore and study this area.

From December 2015 to January 2016, the HRE research vessel Thorn, led by the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, conducted a six-week expedition to the waters of the South Pacific.

The route travels 7,000 kilometres from Chile through the South Pacific whirlpool to New Zealand.

In the process, the researchers sampled microbial populations at depths of 20-5,000 meters in that "desert" area, and sorted and identified organic samples.

"Surprisingly, we find about one-third fewer cells in the surface waters of the South Pacific than in the Atlantic Circulation, which is probably the lowest number of cells measured in the world's surface waters," said one of the microbial ecologists involved. ”

The distribution of these microbial communities is highly dependent on factors such as sea depth, temperature, nutrient concentration, and light availability.

In addition, 20 major bacterial clades accounted for the vast majority of the microorganisms collected during the mission, such as marine microorganisms such as Prochlorococcus, indicating that the level of biodiversity in this ecosystem is very low.

While the rest of the Pacific Ocean is teeming with microorganisms, in the South Pacific it has shrunk to a depth of 500 meters. Overall, this study shows that "marine deserts" do exist and confirms their unique, ultra-nutrient-poor biological habitats.

There, extremely low trophic conditions comparable to desert environments greatly limit the reproduction and development of organisms, and "extreme physicochemical conditions" inhibit the flourishing of biodiversity.

While the South Pacific whirlpool is a barren "ocean desert", the lack of organic matter also brings a bright side there.

It also has some of the clearest and most beautiful waters on the planet.

Lu Yuan also has a strong interest in this mysterious sea area.

He really wanted to go deep into this mysterious sea and explore it well.

However, reason quickly made him realize the reality, with his current cultivation of the second level of Qi cultivation and the water escape technique that was only at the stage of Xiaocheng.

There is no way to complete the exploration of this sea area, and there is a chance that there will be no return.

Lu Yuan changed his direction in frustration, and he should act according to the original plan first.

"The most important thing now is to find an island that is enough to live on!"

"After settling my family, I must cultivate seriously. Strive to break through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation as soon as possible, and cultivate the Water Escape Technique to the Great Perfection!"

After making up his mind, Lu Yuan regained his spirit again.

This time he began to swim south along the other side of the submarine serange.

A day later, he returned to the original island, this time he did not stop long, but on the island, ate something to replenish his strength, and continued to set off.

A few hours later, Lu Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that he had encountered the original group of whales again.

Lu Yuan frolicked with the whales for a while, and when he was about to leave that day, the largest whale in the group suddenly blocked his way.

Looking at the eyes of this whale, Lu Yuan instantly understood what it meant, it was going to take himself to a place.

Lu Yuan stroked the whale's back, and the whale understood what Lu Yuan meant.

called out to the whale group, and then the whale swam towards the east with Lu Yuan and the entire whale group.

Half a day later, Lu Yuan followed the whales to an undersea valley. He was surprised to find that there were a large number of whale carcasses in the valley, and all of them had formed whale falls.

When Lu Yuan was surprised, the fin whale that had brought him here let out a chirp at him. And also pointed his head to a place.

Following the direction it guided, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that there was a mysterious underwater cave in front of him.

Lu Yuan stroked the whale's back to express his gratitude.

Then he took out a harpoon, held it in his hand, and swam cautiously towards the cave.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Lu Yuan obviously felt a very large water pressure.

It looks like it's about 600 meters underwater.

Lu Yuan secretly said that he was lucky, if he went deeper, he would be powerless.

After resting at the entrance of the cave for a while, Lu Yuan looked back at the whales, and then entered the cave alone.

After Lu Yuan entered the cave, the whales did not leave, looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were waiting for Lu Yuan's return.

Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to it at first after entering the cave, but after going some distance deeper. He discovers a reality that shocks him, that the cave is not natural but man-made.

Lu Yuan was stunned by this astonishing discovery, and it took a full two minutes to come back to his senses.

He quickly took out his photographic equipment and photographed everything he saw in the cave.

The further he walked into the cave, the more surprised Lu Yuan became, and the aura content in the cave became higher and higher.

When he entered the cave for about 200 meters, he found that there was something like a bubble in front of him, blocking all the sea water.

"What's going on, could it be that there are other Qi Practitioners!"

Looking at the battle ahead, the first thing that Lu Yuan thought of was the legendary formation. After all, he is barely a qi practitioner now.

Lu Yuan stopped at this time, and at the same time turned off the photographic equipment.

He hesitated whether to move on, if there was really a Qi Practitioner living in the cave, then judging from the formation he could arrange, it was obviously much better than himself.

Because when Lu Yuan cultivated for the first time, he knew from the divine text that if he wanted to arrange the formation, the minimum requirement was to practice the seventh layer of qi.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go and find out, after all, if there was really a qi practitioner in the cave, he would have found himself after coming in for so long.

If there are Qi Practitioners who don't live in it, or if the original Qi Practitioners have fallen, then they may still have something to gain.

When he was in school, Lu Yuan was also obsessed with online novels for a long time. He also once fantasized about one day calling for wind and rain and living forever!

Lu Yuan paid attention and swam forward quickly, and when he was about to enter the cave, he was embarrassed to find that he was blocked.

Lu Yuan felt as if he had touched a transparent wall.

Lu Yuan tried to force his way in, but when he slammed into the wall, he only felt a strong force coming from the wall, and then he was knocked out.

Fortunately, the surrounding sea helped him unload most of his strength, which saved him from injury.

Lu Yuan, who refused to admit defeat, also had a bullish temper this time.

"I don't believe it, I'll be blocked by your little wall!"

Next, Lu Yuan tried all kinds of methods, trying to break in, but unfortunately failed.

"Will there be a control mechanism?"

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly thought that in the plots of novels and movies, there are often things like mechanism buttons in such places......
