The reef pan area is about 120 square kilometers.

Can a reef be used as territory?

Of course it's OK.

The ownerless islands and reefs basically follow who discovered them and who owns them. They have the advantage.

......

After exploring, I recorded the GPS coordinates here.

I took out my phone, opened the APP, inventory, the third box, the treasure map, and clicked on the treasure map. I found that the location of the treasure map was in the nearby waters, about 6 nautical miles away from the reef, and drove towards the treasure location.

After about ten minutes, I reached the treasure hiding position. The treasure was hidden at the bottom of the sea. I stopped the yacht, took out the waterproof beads from the storage space and put them on, put them down, went down to the sea, and dived to the seabed. The depth of the seabed was 220 to 230 meters. The visibility was extremely low. I took out a flashlight and shone it on the seabed, and I found that oil was seeping out of the seabed. Oil was from a crack about ten meters long and could reach into the palm.

Because the sea depth of 220 to 230 meters is equivalent to the water pressure of 22 to 23 atmospheres, the gushing oil is suppressed. Only a part of the oil is mixed into the sea water. It is like you dripping a drop of ink into the pond, and the oil does not cause much pollution to the surrounding marine environment.

There is a submarine oil field here.

I don’t know how big the oil reserves of this submarine oil field are.

It needs to be explored to know.

There are super-large oil fields on land, and there are super-large oil fields under the sea. For example, a Beihai oil field produces 6.4% of the world's oil.

In 2007, Brazil discovered deep-sea oil fields with reserves of up to 5 to 7 billion barrels in the basin of Rio de Janeiro, which made Brazil leap from an oil-poor country to the eighth largest oil and natural gas reserve country in the world.

......

In the world, the proven subsea oil reserves and natural gas reserves are 22 billion tons and 17 trillion cubic meters, respectively, accounting for 24% and 23% of the world's total proven recoverable reserves of oil and natural gas.

This oil field is ownerless.

On the high seas.

Therefore, the reef has become very important. The importance has increased by hundreds of times.

Because the location of the oil field is about 6 kilometers away from the reef pan.

According to the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, regarding the division of sea areas, inland seas, territorial seas, contiguous areas, exclusive economic zones, continental shelf and high seas.

First of all, the inland sea, China's Bohai Sea is the inland sea. The inland sea is the territory of the country. Ships in other countries have no right to pass through.

Next is the territorial waters.

Territorial waters are the baseline of the territorial sea that extends 12 nautical miles. They are also part of the national territory. However, compared with the inland sea, foreign ships have a harmless right of passage on the territorial sea. As the premise that you cannot damage the peace and security of the coast, your warship will definitely not be able to break into other people's territorial waters.

Extending another 12 nautical miles is the contiguous zone. Coastal countries do not enjoy sovereignty, but are just areas specially controlled by coastal countries. For example, anti-smuggling, anti-smuggling, and other illegal acts such as customs, finance, and immigration. In contiguous zone control only includes territorial waters and not airspace. You cannot control a plane in the contiguous zone.

Next, the exclusive economic zone, also known as the economic sea area, has a baseline of 200 nautical miles. Coastal countries enjoy natural resources sovereignty and other jurisdiction over this area, as well as exclusive jurisdiction of fishing. Fishing boats from other countries come to fish. NO, no, unless you get permission from this country. (The fishing boats in many countries go to the Somalia waters to fish, which infringes on the marine rights of Somalia. Of course, Somalia people can not do it. People can cross a road. They can enjoy harmless right of passage in your territorial waters. Nothing is different from the ancient thiefs who cut the path.)

Next, the continental shelf. It is usually considered part of the land, land covered by sea water, and the natural resources on the continental shelf belong to the coastal countries.

In fact, the concept of the continental shelf overlaps with the exclusive economic zone, but the width of the exclusive economic zone does not exceed 200 nautical miles. The continental shelf can extend to 350 nautical miles if it complies with the regulations.

Finally, the high seas do not belong to any country, but are international public waters.

You have sovereignty to the reef.

Then, according to the International Convention on the Law of the Sea, you will enjoy an exclusive economic zone with the edge of islands and reefs as the baseline, 12 nautical miles of territorial sea, and then extending 12 nautical miles of contiguous waters. Then, the baseline starts from the exclusive economic zone with no more than 200 nautical miles.

200 nautical miles = 370.4 kilometers.

It means that this oil field is included in the exclusive economic zone.

......

Return to the yacht, take out your phone, open the APP, inventory, third box, treasure map, click on the treasure map, and the treasure box on the treasure map is open.

I wrote down the GPS coordinates here.

Today is March 17th.

Check out the diesel in the inventory. There are 130 barrels.

Calculated it. It was enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

So, Zhou Yang is ready to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Automatic navigation and navigation at economic speed. Navigate in the Atlantic Ocean.

On March 18, I signed in and received a sign-in reward, 2 drops of chalcedony liquid.

On the 19th, I signed in and received a critical hit reward. A piece of high-icy piaoyang green jade produced in the Jianshan dry field of Wuling Mountain Jade Mineral Vein. This piece of jade is about the size of a large person.

Through information online.

The Jade Highway has been built long ago. It starts in SZ County and leads to the Jade Mine. It is 157 kilometers long.

The entire jade vein, southwest-northeast, is about 170 kilometers long, is about 25 kilometers wide, and is about 2200 square kilometers in length.

There were 9 scenes.

Among them, Jianshan Hanyuan loves high-quality ice species.

Several types of glass have been produced in Tudiling Field.

The jadeite produced by the pit site has the worst quality.

The jadeite in Shiwu Village likes to be a monster.

The jadeite in Shapingchang has thin skin, and you can see the water and color when you turn on the light.

......

A jadeite publication was established in Qiaoziwan Town, SZ County. In August, the first jadeite publication was held.

......

At 11 a.m. Arrive in a sea area and come to the mid-Atlantic ridge.

The mid-Atlantic ridge, the huge ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, starts from Iceland near the Arctic Circle, extends southward through the central part of the Atlantic Ocean, bends to Bouve Island near the Antarctic, almost from the northernmost end of the earth to the southernmost end of the earth, and is in the shape of an "S" shape, with a length of more than 15,000 kilometers and an average width of 1,000 kilometers to 1,300 kilometers. The huge scale of this mountain is far greater than any mountain range on the world's land.

Some of the tops of this ridge drill out of the sea, forming beaded archipelagos on the Atlantic Ocean, such as the famous Iceland, Azores, Saint Helena, Asuncion and Tris-Damonia.

The yacht is parked on the sea surface and goes down to the sea through the yacht ladder. After lunch, you can get some seafood. You can use the left hand to make a net and shoot a spear with your right hand.

The seabed is about 50 meters deep.

The seabed is clear.

Zhouyang is actually on the ridge. The "under the mountain" on both sides are deep seas 2,3,000 meters deep.

Zhou Yang captures seafood on the bottom of the sea.

On the white sand bed, a stone fish was quietly squeezing. It looked like a rough stone, with strong camouflage ability. The spear gun shot out and shot through the stone's abdomen. A stone fish was harvested.

An octopus was walking on the seabed eight feet and was harvested.

A big lobster hid under the coral reef, only a long beard was exposed, and it was collected.

Big lobster, thick arms.

A big eel swam against the sand bed under the sea. After collecting it, the grilled eel was very delicious.

There was a hearty seafood meal at noon.

Zhou Yang has practiced and is very sensitive to vital energy.

The concentration of vital energy in the surrounding sea water is particularly high. The concentration of vital energy is at least several times that of the sea surface.

Walking in one direction, the concentration of vital energy will become higher and higher.

Until we reached a seabed crack, the concentration of vital energy here reached its highest peak, at least 10 times that of the sea surface.

The vitality gushed out from the seabed cracks.
