Chapter 484: Ten thousand meters under the sea

There are very few sea areas in the world with depths greater than 6,000 meters, accounting for only 1.2% of the total ocean area.

In the vast deep sea areas, there are trenches in many places.

The Mariana Trench is the most famous. After all, it is the deepest place in the world and is almost a forbidden area for humans.

According to records, the deepest point in the entire Mariana Trench is called the Fitzgerald Abyss, with a depth of 11,034 meters. If you throw Mount Everest into it, you won't be able to see the tip.

The highest record that humans can dive with bare hands is only 113 meters. As the spacecraft gradually dives, after 200 meters down, the sunlight begins to gradually disappear, and the entire seawater is no longer blue, but black!

Because light can only propagate in the ocean within 200 meters, the ocean above 200 meters is completely dark and is called the "transparent zone."

Moreover, although Bermuda is known as the Devil's Triangle because planes and ships often disappear inexplicably, it is known as the Devil's Triangle.

However, the Mariana Trench is not always peaceful. The water near here is dark blue. Below the calm sea surface, there are rough waves and some large whirlpools. Ships cannot sail near the whirlpools, otherwise they will be sucked in.

Destroy people.

If an iron block falls from a ship, it will take more than an hour for the iron block to reach the dark bottom of the Mariana Trench, where the temperature is almost close to zero and the pressure is 1,100 times that of the sea surface.

But in front of Chu Feng in the cockpit of the spaceship, it was a different world.

The spaceship hidden in it did not stir up any waves. On the holographic projection, you can see many strange creatures, such as red squids with cross-eyed eyes, transparent anus fish with transparent heads like alien creatures, and lanterns on their heads, showing off and deceiving everywhere.

of anglerfish…

The spacecraft soon reached the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

The huge V-shaped structure extends vertically for 15,000 meters, like a giant cutting a knife into the bottom of the sea.

And a spaceship more than 100 meters long feels like a drop in the ocean, very small.

"Start static scanning and the anti-interference function starts running!"

Zhinao's reminder brought Chu Feng back to his senses, and he shook his head helplessly. Chu Feng found that he had been easily distracted recently, and he didn't know why.

"Proceed as planned."

After giving the order, an invisible detection wave began to scan carefully towards the Mariana Trench around the spacecraft.

No wonder many scientists are obsessed with the seabed, especially for biologists, this place alone makes them crazy.

After all, 95% of the ocean has not been developed by humans, and this is the last piece of pure land.

As the detection begins, more and more organisms are detected by scanning...

A large number of bacteria, invertebrates, and molluscs exist here. Without human interference, it has become the best refuge for wild animals.

"Didi, an unknown object was found!"

The sound of the prompt made Chu Feng notice the newly scanned object.

"What is this?" Chu Feng frowned and looked at the scanned object.

This is about 8,000 meters under the sea. Judging from the shape, it is obviously not a natural creature, but rather like a flying saucer.

Moreover, there are a lot of these things, and they seem to be distributed according to certain rules. There is one existence nearly a kilometer away.

However, their structure is very small, only about 30 centimeters in diameter and about ten centimeters in thickness. They do not move at all, like jellyfish, but the overall appearance is metallic.

You can even see many weird fish with a body length of only 18 centimeters, wings on both sides of the body, and a slender tail like a stingray. From time to time, they touch those flying saucer-like objects, but they do not react at all.

It can be seen that this thing must have existed here for a long time, and many creatures have become accustomed to it.

Moreover, after the detection wave swept over, these "little guys" did not react at all, and just stayed suspended in the water near 8,000 meters underwater.

You know, the atmospheric pressure increases by one every ten meters below the surface of the water, and at 8,000 meters underwater, the atmospheric pressure is 800 times that of the normal sea surface!

What is this concept? It is equivalent to a weight of at least 0.8 tons per square centimeter. Without the assistance of other equipment, the human body will be crushed instantly when it reaches this point!

"How much is this thing?"

Looking at this strange thing, Chu Feng basically thought that this thing was probably some kind of detection equipment.

The spacecraft gently bypassed these things without causing any reaction, and set off directly towards the seabed 10,000 meters away!

As the scanning gradually improved, a mysterious underwater world finally opened its door to Chu Feng!

The bottom of the entire trench did not have the expected undulations. Instead, it appeared somewhat flat, like a plain on the ground.

This place is like an alien planet isolated from the world, silent and dark...

However, through holographic images, Chu Feng discovered a different world.

It's like an underwater garden in the dark, with many strange species dotted here.

In the high-pressure, dark, and cold environment of the deep sea, there are still lives living leisurely and leisurely, which shows the tenacity of life.

The first time humans arrived here was on January 14, 1960.

Physicist Jacques Piccard and Citizen Navy soldier Walsh took the deep-sea diving ship "Trieste" to dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, reaching a depth of more than 11 kilometers.

So far, only three people have dived into this restricted area for humans, and they only stayed for a short while and made no other moves.

After all, if something happens here, there really won't even be a need to prepare a cemetery.

No wonder many people say that coming here is more difficult than going to space. After all, Citigroup alone has sent more than 500 people to space!

As the detection progressed, a series of creepy sounds came from the spacecraft's collector.

This sound is very much like the whimpering of some unknown monster. It is intermittent but has no intention of stopping.

At the bottom of this deep, dark sea, which is isolated from the rest of the world, such a terrifying sound can make one's hair stand on end.

"Captain, something has been discovered!" Alita's reminder came as promised.

If there was a sound, all he had to do was find the source. However, this discovery made Chu Feng a little confused.

Because the scans showed that there were four huge stone bridges at the bottom of the trench, connecting the two sides of the fault!

The total length of these four stone bridges is 69 kilometers, and they are formed at the junction of the Pacific and Philippine tectonic plates.

Although this is a trench, as it connects two plates, it is not solid after all. However, according to current observations, this stone bridge has existed for tens of millions of years!
