Chapter seven hundred and seventy fifth garbage guy
The audience who learned the truth booed. Bi Fang smiled and shook his head.
No one is sure whether there are any large creatures at Point Nemo. After all, the ocean is too big, and humans’ understanding of the surfaces of Mars and the moon is even greater than their understanding of the depths of the ocean.
But the so-called strange noise is definitely not caused by some monster.
In the afternoon, Bi Fang dived again, but still found nothing, proving that it was no accident that he found nothing in the morning.
Although nothing was encountered during the two dives, the audience was taught an impressive lesson and gained a deeper understanding of the impact caused by the so-called South Pacific Gyre.
There are also some snakes and lizards living here in the desert, but except for some bacteria on the seabed, there is almost no trace of life on Point Nemo.
"The geographical location of Point Nemo is too remote, and it happens to avoid the ocean circulation of the South Pacific. The mobility of the sea water is extremely poor, resulting in a lack of nutrients. It is also too far from the mainland, and the organic matter washed into the sea from the land cannot Getting here makes marine microorganisms extremely rare."
"In addition, the glacial meltwater rich in organic matter in the Antarctic and Antarctic cannot flow here. As a result, the organic matter here is extremely scarce and cannot support marine life. Even deep-sea ecosystems cannot be established. We can only rely on deep-sea hot springs. Only the surviving seafloor microorganisms can open up a new world here."
"But the bottom of the sea is at least several hundred meters. It is impossible for me to dive down alone. We have been sailing for nearly six days and are basically far away from the continental shelf. The water depth here is at least a thousand meters."
There was regret in Bi Fang's tone. [Human beings have limits] [Nonsense, humans have limits, but God Fang does not!]
[You mean Boss Fang is not a human being (dog head)]
[It is recommended that Lao Fang undergo a DNA test. I have suspected that he is human for a long time] [After the test, there was not a drop of human blood] The seventh day.
The broadcast of the finale of Stealth Tracking and yesterday's diving brought some popularity back to the live broadcast room. The number of people returned to more than six million, but more of them were asking about Bifang's escape details.
It was not until evening that Bi Fang finally encountered an unexpected incident.
Dusk covered the entire sea surface, and the golden light was dazzling. Bi Fang squinted his eyes and suddenly pointed forward: "There is something ahead."
[Something?][What thing?][What are you?]
[It’s floating over, it’s such a big piece! Is it a fish?]
[Even fish floating on the sea are dead, right? It must be some kind of garbage] [Damn, the earth is too polluted, isn't it? Is all the garbage floating here?]
[What is this? Have you never seen the Pacific Garbage Island? It is located in the sea between California and Hawaii, and the area is equivalent to the two ugly states of Texas!]
Under the setting sun, it was difficult to see clearly what was floating over. I could only roughly detect that it was something flat and did not look like a living thing.
Bi Fang picked up the oar and rowed in the direction of the "garbage".
The distance between the two was not very far. After getting closer to more than thirty meters, Bi Fang finally saw clearly what it was. The result made him very disappointed.
What a rubbish!
After taking a second look, Bi Fang lost interest: "It's just space junk." [Trash, that's okay] [Damn, it's no use to get excited]
[I am the Pacific Garbage Man!] [What kind of garbage is space garbage?] [It is dry garbage]
With the development of human aerospace industry, more and more spacecrafts of various kinds are sent into space. After these spacecrafts help humans complete their mission of exploring the universe, the cost of recycling them is too high, so they can only be abandoned.
Abandoned spacecraft either continue to orbit and become useless space junk, or they return to Earth and burn up directly.
"In the past 40 years, the Earth has received more than 5,400 tons of space debris."
"During the fall, most of the garbage burned up in the atmosphere due to the high temperature, and some that could not be burned fell to the surface of the earth. However, since the earth is full of living things, it can easily cause accidents if you are not careful.
casualties."
"But the fall of space junk is no better than that of a rocket launch. It can be accurately calculated and the landing point is determined, so it must be in a sufficiently open place."
A suitable range in the world...Needless to say, the audience instantly understood. Isn't Point Nemo the best place?
Forget about no one, there is not even a complete ecological chain, it has no impact on humans and animals, and there is a vast sea nearby, and it will not cause fire. It is simply a natural receiving site, and it will not even fall here.
Convenient to salvage and avoid secrets being stolen.
Therefore, Point Nemo has become the most ideal place to discard old rockets and satellites. It will not hurt people and will not cause disasters.
"It is said that more than 100 decommissioned spacecraft have crashed here so far. We were lucky enough to pick up the wreckage."
Bi Fang salvaged the debris and found that it was quite large, half the size of a thigh, and flat in shape. It should be the shell of a satellite. [So is this thing valuable?]
The audience is more concerned about this issue. This is aerospace technology!
"A little bit, but it's not that valuable. Maybe it can be sold to a collector?" Bi Fang thought for a while and said sincerely.
As long as there is some high-tech value in it, it is impossible for all countries to get together and throw the debris here. Think about the several big countries that can develop satellites, which one does not have a vast territory.
Can't you really find a wasteland to throw satellites into?
After disintegration and burning in the atmosphere, very little remains.
"I remember last month, fishermen found some giant wrecks with Chinese and Chinese flags printed on them at sea. They were quite large, five meters long and one meter wide. After the incident, the fishermen reported the matter immediately.
.”
"Later, according to the judgment of the Philippine Aerospace Department, it was found to be spacecraft debris and part of the launch vehicle fairing. But we didn't even want it."
The fairing is located on the top of the launch vehicle and is responsible for protecting payloads such as satellites. The main body is usually made of aluminum-magnesium alloy\carbon fiber and other materials. Although it is not small in size, it is not very heavy.
This means that after the fairing wreckage falls into the Pacific Ocean, it will not sink directly to the bottom of the sea. Coupled with factors such as ocean current movement, it is normal for fishermen from neighboring countries to find it.
Therefore, its greatest value is its collection value. Maybe it can cost several thousand yuan?
Bi Fang didn't know much about the collection value of this thing, but he thought it shouldn't be too valuable.
"But at least it is a material. You can keep it and maybe use it."
"It's very windy today. We have to hurry up and hurry up. We can't miss this opportunity." Bifang stuffed the fragments onto the Viking, felt the wind direction, and continued moving forward.
