Chapter 1676 Measurement
Zhao Zhongyao was only talking to Feifei and Bell just now, and forgot about measuring the depth of the sea in this area. Now when Bell asked, he hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I will measure again."
knew.'
So, Zhao Zhongyao used the bathymetric instrument on the flying saucer spacecraft to measure the depth of the sea water here. Originally, Zhao Zhongyao thought that the depth of the sea water here should be about 5,000. Even if this place is not the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea,
As for it, it must be about three thousand meters. After all, this is the deepest sea area in the Mediterranean Sea, and it is in the central part of the Ionian Basin. The water depth must be more than three thousand meters.
But when Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea here, he was very surprised. Because the depth of the sea here was only more than 500 meters. It was not at all what Zhao Zhongyao imagined. After all, this is the Ionian in the Mediterranean.
The subsea basin is the deepest place in the Mediterranean Sea. Theoretically, the depth of the water here should not be less than three thousand meters no matter where it is.
But the result of Zhao Zhongyao's measurement just now was beyond his expectation. Because the depth of the sea water here is only more than 500 meters. It is shallower than the depth of the sea water they measured in the sea near Crete. Isn't this very abnormal!
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao fell into deep thought. He was very puzzled by the measurement data he saw.
Feifei saw that his father was silent, so he asked again, "Dad, what is the depth of the water you measured? Is it very deep?" Feifei saw his father frowning, and he thought, it must be his father.
I measured the water depth here and found that the water depth here was actually very deep.
Bell became nervous after listening to Feifei's words. After all, he had never been to the deep sea. If the water here was very deep, he would be a little scared.
But after Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words, he suddenly smiled and said, 'Haha, I really didn't expect that the sea water here is so shallow. It's only more than five hundred meters.'
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei and Bell both looked confused. After all, they couldn't believe what Zhao Zhongyao said. This is the Ionian Basin, and the water depth should be several kilometers.
Oh! How come the water depth here is only more than 500 meters!
‘Dad, what are you talking about? The water here is only more than 500 meters deep. Isn’t this normal? Is there something wrong with the spacecraft’s bathymetric instrument?’ Feifei looked at his father with a puzzled look on his face and said.
'Yes! Mr. Zhao, this is not normal. The depth of the sea water here should be at least three thousand meters. But you actually measured that the depth of the sea water here is only more than five hundred meters. Isn't this abnormal? Did you see it wrong?
It's more than five thousand meters.' Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
After listening to Feifei and Bell's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again, "I believe our spaceship will not have any problems. There will also be no problems with our bathymetric instrument. The depth of the sea water here should be 500 meters."
Domi.'
‘Then how could this be? This is the central part of the Ionian Sea Basin, how could the water depth be only more than five hundred meters.’ Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao very puzzled and said.
'This question is exactly what I am thinking about now. I believe there will be no problem with the bathymetric instrument on our spacecraft. Before, our infrared imager saw that the sea water here is not normal. Now we
The bathymetric instrument also measured that the depth of the sea water here is also abnormal. This shows that there must be something abnormal under the sea water here." Zhao Zhongyao said.
‘Dad, then there is something abnormal under the sea water here.’ Feifei looked at her father curiously and asked.
‘How should I answer your question now? You can only know by going to the bottom of the sea and looking at it.’ Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.
When Bell heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he also said, 'Then let's hurry to the bottom of the sea and have a look! Isn't it just over five hundred meters! It's nothing at all.'
In fact, Bell is now completely imagining the difference between a few hundred meters and a few kilometers. In fact, when you really go to the deep sea, there may not be much difference between a few hundred meters and a few kilometers. Anyway, they are all
Sneaking under the sea. Whether it is a few hundred meters or a few kilometers, the feeling is the same for the people riding in the spacecraft.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and Bell and said, 'That's it, let's measure it somewhere else! Isn't it inaccurate to just measure this place? If there is something underneath that is not exposed,
What about the small islands on the sea? After all, in the sea, it doesn’t mean that the small islands you can see are small islands. Where you can’t see, there is nothing.
The terrain in the sea is also very complex. There are not only some small islands where you can see it. Even under the invisible sea water, there are many reefs and small islands. However, because these reefs and small islands are
Under the sea, it would be difficult for people to discover it.
Because of this, ships sailing on the sea must follow the route. Because only by following the route can they not encounter obstacles such as reefs. If they do not follow the route and just drive casually, they will easily encounter obstacles.
Obstacles such as reefs.
On the surface, there is nothing on the sea, which makes people feel that ships can sail casually on the sea. In fact, it is not the case. You cannot sail casually in the sea. You must follow the route established in advance.
OK.
In fact, this is not only true in the sea, but also in the air. Although there is nothing in the sky, some airflows in the air are invisible. However, these airflows will also have a serious impact on the flight of the aircraft.
Aircraft at high altitudes will be safer only if they fly according to the route. If they do not fly according to the route, they may encounter some dangerous airflows such as cyclones. In that case, it will have a great impact on the safety of the aircraft.
Influence.
Because of this, airplanes flying in the sky must follow a certain route. Only in this way is it safer. If the flight path of the airplane deviates, it will be more dangerous.
So, is there a huge island under the sea here? It’s just that this island is not exposed to the sea.’
After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt that it made sense. After all, they were not familiar with the sea water here, so of course they might encounter any kind of situation.
‘Dad, what you said makes sense. From this, there must be a huge island under the sea water here.’ Feifei looked at her father again and said.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Bell felt that they made sense. So, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Mr. Zhao, there must be a big island under the sea water here, otherwise the sea water here would not be the same."
It would be so shallow, only over 500 meters.'
‘Okay, no matter what, let’s measure again! If this is a small island, then if we measure from this place to the side, the sea water will be deeper and deeper.’ Zhao Zhongyao said.
‘Yes, that should be the case.’ Bell also said.
‘Okay, let’s measure the depth of the seawater near here.’ Zhao Zhongyao said as he began to drive the spacecraft to measure the depth of the seawater nearby.
But after he measured it, he frowned again. Because no matter where he measured the seawater depth, it was always between 500 meters and 700-800 meters. There was no very deep place. Even if it was far away from the place he just measured.
The center point is a few kilometers away, but the depth of the sea water is still five to six hundred meters.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao was very puzzled. He didn't understand how the sea water here could be so shallow. And the sea water was so shallow in a large area. This did not mean that there was a small island below.
Feifei saw that her father frowned again, so he asked in confusion, 'Dad, what is the result of your measurement? Is the seawater depth in other places gradually getting deeper.'
'It hasn't gotten deeper. The depth of the seawater in other places is also a few hundred meters. Do you think this is strange? If the depth of the seawater in other places is really gradually getting deeper, it can prove that there is an island below.
.But the key point is that the depth of the sea water below has not become deeper. This only shows that it is not a small island at all." Zhao Zhongyao said.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Bell said again, "Mr. Zhao, what is there below? Since it is not a small island, what is it on the seabed here? Could it be that this is not Ionia?"
ocean basin.'
After hearing Bell's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'If it's not the Ionian Basin, then where would it be? There are no islands near here. It's also hundreds of kilometers away from your Crete.
!If this is not the Ionian Basin, then where would it be? Even if it is not the Ionian Basin, the depth of the water here should not be so shallow.'
‘Dad, what is there under the sea water here? How could it make the sea water here become so shallow?’ Feifei looked at her father very puzzled and asked.
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao pondered for a moment and said, 'If I guessed correctly, there should be a complete continent under the sea water here.'
"What! A complete continent!" Feifei immediately looked surprised after hearing his father's words.
Bell was the same. When he heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he also looked surprised. After all, he never imagined that there would be a complete continent under the sea water here.
'Yes, I speculate that there is a complete continent under the sea water here. It may have been exposed to the sea a long time ago. Later, for some unknown reason, it sank into this sea.' Zhao Zhongyao said again.
.
"Dad, is this really true?" Feifei felt very unbelievable.
‘If this is the case, we will know after another detection.’ Zhao Zhongyao said as he drove the spacecraft to fly away again.
Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao in confusion and asked, 'Mr. Zhao, where are you going?'
"Let's measure the seawater in the distance first. If I guessed correctly, the seawater hundreds of kilometers away should be deeper." Zhao Zhongyao said as he drove the spacecraft toward the sea several hundred kilometers away.
Fly away.
The speed of the spacecraft was very fast, and it flew hundreds of kilometers away in just a few minutes. This was only the slowest speed of the spacecraft. If it had been faster, it would have flown directly out of the Mediterranean Sea.
Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft and soon flew to the sea five hundred kilometers away. At this time, Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea water again. As soon as he measured it, he was pleasantly surprised. Because everything was as expected by him.
Same. The sea water here is as deep as five thousand meters.
After Zhao Zhongyao measured the depth of the sea water here, he looked at Feifei and said with a smile, 'How about it, everything is as I guessed, the depth of the sea water here is more than five thousand meters.'
After hearing what his father said, Feifei also looked surprised. He looked at his father and said, 'That's true. Does this mean that there is a complete continent in the sea here.'
'Of course it is, but we haven't found the place where this continent borders the Ionian Sea Basin. If we find this place, we can be sure that there is an ancient continent that has been sleeping for a long time under the sea here.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei happily and said.
Bell was very happy after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei said. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, "Mr. Zhao, let's put it this way. There is a complete continent under this sea area. So what is this continent like?"
What significance does this continent have to us?'
'If this is a complete continent, it means that there may be ruins of an ancient civilization under this sea area. And this ruins of ancient civilization are very likely to be the ruins of the Atlantis civilization we are looking for.'
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell and said.
‘Could it be that the mysterious ruins of the Atlantis civilization are under this sea area?’ Bell said looking at Zhao Zhongyao with some excitement.
‘Of course, if my guess is correct, under this sea area are the ruins of the Atlantis civilization we are looking for.’ Zhao Zhongyao said confidently.
'Dad, what are you waiting for? Can we go into the water?' Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
'Of course, we can launch from this place now. Then we sail five hundred meters underwater. In this way, if we keep driving back, we may see the complete ancient continent.' Zhao Zhongyao said.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Bell said with some worry, "Mr. Zhao, the water here is five thousand meters deep! Is there any danger if we go down from here? How about we go down from there more than five hundred meters away?"
It's a great place to launch water in the shallow sea.'
