The legend of Tiga

Chapter 245 Marine Debris
In the command room of the TPC Far East base, a map of the Western Pacific is displayed on the big screen, and there are detailed information such as the topographic map of the seabed and the ocean current map beside it. Ye Rui is introducing the information about the R sea area that he has so far.

This area is a newly developed sea area. Due to the advancement of materials and technology, new drilling platforms can be built in the deep sea to exploit oil and gas resources on the seabed. There are also a large number of deep-sea fishing fleets and gold, silver, and copper in the deep sea. resource.

In short, the development of each sea area can bring countless various resources to human beings. Many large mining companies around the world have established branches dedicated to the development of oceans. Therefore, deep-sea development has become the focus of the next era of mankind. .

The process of human development of the ocean followed closely on the screen, from fishing fish and shells in the offshore to deep-sea fishing boats sailing into the deep sea; platform for oil and gas extraction and mineral extraction.
After occupying the land, human beings began to go to the sky and the sea to obtain more living space and various resources needed for life and development.

But these are not what the Victory Team cares about. They just want to know where the strange fish come from to find out the reason for these strange fish. The sailor of the fish has been declared dead, and the others are still under observation.

Because of the death of a human being, everyone became nervous. The hundreds of tons of various fish on the fishing boat were immediately sealed up and destroyed immediately after sampling to prevent toxic or radioactive substances from entering the market. Whether the fishing boat has ever entered the R sea area for fishing.

The Victory Team is more concerned about what kind of radioactive source those strange fish that have detected radioactivity have come into contact with to mutate into that way. Such a strong radioactive source on the bottom of the sea will cause great harm, so it must be detected immediately. Just find out.

The newly established TPC marine survey team accepted this task, and a team headed by Director Qiao Iwama of the TPC marine survey team drove a 7500m-class deep-sea submarine named "Dragon Palace" that had been in service for nearly eight years to the R sea area for investigation. .

At a water depth of 200 meters, human eyes cannot see sunlight, and when the water depth exceeds 1000 meters, no matter how sharp-sighted earth creatures can see sunlight, the TPC marine survey team will reach a water depth of more than 3000 meters. Meter.

At this depth, there is no light at all, only endless darkness, and no sound can be heard, only boundless silence.

But at this moment, a slight roaring sound spread through the sea for an extremely long distance, and several beams of light that could illuminate an extremely long distance on land barely illuminated a bright place on the dark seabed, and slowly moved towards the seabed.

For others, entering the deep sea is an extremely terrifying and overwhelming thing, but for Director Qiao Yanma and the others, they are already familiar with it. They have been on this ship named 'Dragon Palace' for the past few years. The deep-sea submarines have carried out deep-sea missions again and again.

After years of getting along, they are familiar with every screw on the 'Dragon Palace', and they also trust this deep-sea submarine to take them safely to the deep sea and return to land safely.

Director Qiao Yanjian looked at the data on the dashboard, and said seriously: "We will reach the bottom of the sea soon, so pay attention."

A young man in his 20s sitting next to him said nonchalantly, "Director, it's only 3000 meters, and I've been to 4000 meters."

"No matter how shallow it is, you need to pay all your attention," Director Qiao Yanjian said seriously, "You must not be careless, this is the deep sea."

The crew collectively replied: "Yes!"

Director Qiao Yanjian slowed down his voice after finishing speaking, and said: "The ocean is not friendly to human beings, and we are at a depth where no mistakes are allowed. 1000 meters is shallow enough, and I almost lost it because of this depth. Come back, so never underestimate the ocean."

A middle-aged man named Kimura on the left stared at the screen in front of him, tapped the buttons with both hands, and said, "Director, why have you never heard of it?"

"What is there to say about such an unlucky thing?" Director Iwama Qiao waved his hand, but then he felt that the success all the time seemed to make everyone a little bit smug, so he started to say again: "That happened eight years ago, I I have just started to get in touch with deep-sea exploration, and followed my predecessors to the South Pacific Ocean, a group of underwater relics called Dragon Palace, to carry out the salvage commission."

"Salvage? Such a deep place?" Kimura was very surprised. The deep-sea submarine is completely sealed and cannot be opened during the whole process. It can't hold many things just by plugging it in. In such a deep place, it is not enough to salvage gold. .

"A disc, about um, it's about this big," Director Yanjian Qiao raised his hand to gesture the size, which was about the same size as a disc, and recalled: "It looks like a stone, with many carvings on it."

Before he finished speaking, a sonar soldier with Yamashita's pronunciation written on the back of a TPC uniform shouted: "Director, the passive sonar has detected abnormal noises, and is about to turn on the active sonar."

Everyone immediately closed their mouths, even the sound of breathing became much quieter, while the sonar soldier named Yamashita slowly amplified his voice, frowned slowly, and said in great doubt: "Sounds like crying?"

Director Yanjian Qiao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Crying?"

"I've never heard such a sound." Yamashita has been on the sonar post for a long time and has heard various sounds, but this is the first time he has heard such a sound. After clicking a few times on the console in front of him, Next, broadcast the sound he heard on the public channel, so that everyone can hear the sound that is indeed very close to crying.

Before they could figure out what the sound was, the submarine suddenly shook. The shaking was very slight, but it surprised everyone. The pilot hurriedly pulled the joystick to stabilize the ship, but it just turned in the opposite direction. When the joystick was moved, the shaking range suddenly increased, throwing everyone to the side, and the situation was like the situation of everyone in the car after a sudden brake.

Director Qiao Yanma was about to ask the reason. The camera outside the submarine transmitted the captured external images to the display screen inside the submarine. In the turbid seawater illuminated by the beam of light, plastic bags, glass bottles, beverage cans, etc. were rolling one after another. Also untold rubbish.

"This is... marine garbage?" Director Qiao Yanjian looked at the image on the screen in astonishment. He often drifts in the sea and is no stranger to marine garbage, but it is the first time he has seen so much garbage in such a deep seabed.
