Chapter 102: Navigator

The huge anchor in front of Li Ming's eyes was even no less than the Sherman tank.

The anchor ring on the crossbar raised high from the seabed. Even though it was covered with mud and coral, Li Ming could even pass through the anchor ring inside.

This discovery really made him so excited. He pointed to the anchor in front of him and explained:

"The history of anchors dates thousands of years ago. The oldest anchors may be rocks, and many of the discoveries of stone anchors date back to at least the Bronze Age."

"Brothers, this guy is not a modern anchor. This is a typical European anchor with a rod. You see, the anchor ring is like a cross, and most of our modern anchors do not have such a long cross. After the anchors were gradually improved by British and French navigators in the early 19th century, the cross bar gradually shortened or even removed."

“The seabed of the entire Caribbean Sea is silent with thousands or even tens of thousands of similar anchors!”

"So from the shape, we can simply infer that the huge anchor in front of us was at least from before the 18th century."

Extremely excited Li Mingyou approached the anchor, then took out a shovel and began to search around the gravel falling from the anchor.

There must be anchor chains and other things around such a huge anchor, and if this was a wrecked sea boat, there would definitely be some gadgets around it;

However, the huge anchor still couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion...

"The Travels of Marco Polo, written by the famous Italian in 1299, brought the fantasy of wealth everywhere in the East! It aroused the desire of Westerners to find wealth."

"The Arabs who traveled in Europe and Asia brought our Chinese compass needle to the West, so that Europeans did not lose their direction when sailing on the sea after the 13th century. Then, Europe's shipbuilding technology has made great progress, and more new types of multi-masts and sails, light and fast large ships have emerged..."

"And the huge anchor in front of us was rated at least 500 tons of ships, which was the minimum Spanish Garen-class sailing ship."

Li Ming said that more than 500 tons of sailboats almost came out at once, and many viewers in the live broadcast room suspected that this might be just an ordinary anchor abandoned here.

.....

From ancient stone anchors to the current rodless anchor chains, Li Ming used a shovel to pull out the gravel on the seabed.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is nothing valuable near the anchor. After all, time has passed, even if the anchor belongs to the wreck of the shipwreck, even if something falls here.

After so long, I have been swept by ocean currents and gravel to other places.

It seems to have verified the speculation of the water lovers. During the next half hour of search, Li Ming found nothing!

On the contrary, the artificial reefs and gravel seabed were silent around him, and the sunlight coming to the sea surface was projecting on the bottom of the sea, and all kinds of creatures were bathed in the warm sea water. These unknown little fish were not afraid of anything, and occasionally walked through the anchor ring to him and wandered around;

The beautiful world around Li Ming made the live broadcast room feel very happy, and they shouted that the ingredients were delivered to their door.

Various strange and beautiful conchs, starfish, jellyfish and coral reefs of various colors dance under the action of the undersea water flow...

Li Ming operated the crooked vent duct on the sea surface. Li Ming rushed several big holes around the anchor, and there was nothing except a few red sea urchins and a conch that was delivered to the door.

He was a little disappointed and planned to return to the boat to rest for a while. Li Ming still firmly believed that there must be something waiting for him around him.

After eating fresh steamed sea urchin eggs with canned yellow peaches, Li Ming planned to continue to search in the water while the sun was shining. He always felt that there should be something around him.

Before he could get into the water again, the barrage in the live broadcast room became jubilant first.

【Look at the dolphin!】

【Wow, so cute ~】

【It seems that there are quite a lot...】

[When is this treasure hunt? It's almost time to catch up with the animal world.]

Not far from the Explorer, a group of bottlenose dolphins that came together kept jumping out of the sea, drawing extremely beautiful arcs.

There are many people who can still stay in the live broadcast room in the middle of the night. Many night owls are holding their mobile phones and cats in the quilt and watching the live broadcast scenes on the other end of the earth, and occasionally showing a knowing smile.

The Explorer successfully attracted the attention of this group of "ocean Navigators". Several of them swam next to Li Ming's yacht and kept making cheerful calls around the Explorer...

“yi~wu~yi~wu!”

The sudden change made Li Ming very happy. He pointed to the dolphins in the water and said, "These guys are known as navigators of the sea. According to the investigation records of scientists, dolphins use ultrasound shouts with frequency of 200 to 350 kHz to "echo positioning", while the human hearing range is between 16 to 20 kHz, and humans cannot hear the ultrasound emitted by dolphin echo positioning.

"So the dolphin screams we are hearing now may be part of the low-frequency sounds used by the communication messages between dolphins."

During the boring treasure hunt, in addition to the beautiful scenery and food, animals that appear inadvertently can make you feel happy. I also want to find two fish to reward these actors who have temporarily left the country, but unfortunately there is no such good thing on his boat;

He only found an apple from the cabin, and he took out one and threw it into the sea. As a result, the "nautilators" were completely uninterested in apples, but instead jumped up one by one in the water and pushed the apple into the air.

On the sea, dolphins often jump out of the sea, throw themselves into the air, and then fall back into the water, causing a wave, called "leaping into the waves".

Adult dolphins can jump 3.51 meters above the sea, while whales can easily jump to higher heights, with greater weight and greater motivation.

Such a gorgeous acrobatic performance made the audience in the live broadcast room cheer, and various fancy jokes appeared again.

Feeding failed. In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Ming tried to change the topic and told a story about the dolphin navigator to the camera:

"The story about the dolphin navigator was more than a hundred years ago. In the summer of 1871, heavy fog covered the coast of New Zealand. The Brinier was like a leaf, shaking in the sinister reefs.

Just when everyone was desperate                                                                                                                             

The captain thought about it and decided to follow the dolphin. The dolphin seemed to be coming specifically for this boat. It led the ship through the thick fog and bypassed the reefs. The ship successfully arrived at the safe area, but at this time, the dolphin disappeared.

From then on, every sea boat will encounter this strange "nauthor". Although this reef-covered area is dangerous, since the White Dolphin Jack has led, a single boat has never touched the reef.

Once, Jack the White Dolphin piloted another sea boat. A passenger on the ship thought the dolphin pilot was a devil, so he secretly shot and injured it. But a few weeks later, this "kind-hearted" dolphin appeared again. In order to ensure the safety of the sea boats passing through this area, the New Zealand government held a special meeting and issued a decree: No one is allowed to hurt the dolphin. From then on, the dolphin piloted every sea boat that was coming and going..."

Li Ming left enough time for these marine animals who suddenly visited him, and the other party cooperated and jumped out to play from time to time, which also feasted the audience in front of the screen.

After a long time, Li Ming looked at the time and probably had his last time in the water today.
