My Deep-sea Fishery

Some time ago, some scientists discovered a group of peculiar biological communities that were flourishing one mile deep in the Antarctic ice and ocean, which surprised the scientists.

Researchers from the British Antarctic Expedition have dug a tunnel in the ice, hoping to make it easier to dig out the seabed sediments, but they don’t know if they are lucky or unfortunate. They happened to drill a tunnel on a boulder on the seabed, which made them Wanting to collect sediment has become a difficult task.

Despite the difficulties, the expedition team discovered a complete ecosystem in Antarctica using a suspended camera.

Although this ecosystem still cannot be confirmed as being composed of life, they are still called "strange creatures" by scientists.

During the expedition, the expedition team discovered that the mysterious creature seemed to be a bacterial membrane, a peculiar sponge, and various stalk bacteria attached to rocks.

Although the investigation led scientists to discover that these creatures also need to eat, they did not discover that they survive by eating mysteriously, because there is no obvious source of food, which is very strange.

Because the area was completely uninhabited, the scientists encountered a blizzard again, and all expedition activities were deceived to stop.

The secrets left have also puzzled scientists even more. What is the survival of those little creatures is still an unsolved mystery.

Some researchers believe that the small marine creatures are likely to live on food that drifts over, because the source of food is moving horizontally rather than vertically.

Later, according to a report in Frontiers of Marine Science, the sponge fungus biota that survives under such harsh conditions is likely to be Antarctic mushrooms.

It’s just that scientists still don’t know how the creatures on that rock survive.

Xiang Yang shook his head and secretly said: "At present, human beings still know very little about the earth. In addition, Antarctica has always been the coldest, driest, and windy continent on earth. It is the only continent that spans all meridians and has the highest average altitude. Continents, the annual precipitation in its coastal areas is only 200 kilometers, and the inland areas are even less. Moreover, the average temperature of the coldest season in Antarctica can be as low as -63℃, and the lowest temperature can reach -89.2℃. At present, human beings are basically There is no way to conduct detailed investigations of many Antarctic creatures."

Of course, those scientists are not doing useless work.

That study was published in the journal "Frontiers in Marine Science", announcing an unbelievable discovery to mankind, and it made it clear to countless people that we still know very little about the planet on which we live, let alone How tough is extraordinary life.

Fang Youqun knelt down and looked at the mushrooms carefully, "I don't know if these mushrooms can be eaten."

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Most of the mushrooms, the brighter the color, the stronger the toxins. Of course, there are no absolutes. There are also very brightly colored red fungus which is a non-toxic top ingredient, and there are also cow dung that is not sleek. Bacteria are poisonous. We have never seen these mushrooms. Let alone eat them. They are not allowed to be touched. It is best if you don’t squat and look at them now, stay away from these Antarctic mushrooms."

"Your captain is right. I once watched a documentary. A scientific research ship found a giant mushroom in Antarctica. When collecting samples, those mushrooms suddenly ejected a large number of poisonous spores, and there were many fish around. Lei died immediately. If it weren't for the scientific research personnel wearing protective clothing, he might have explained there too." Gao Chuang nodded in agreement with Xiang Yang's words.

Fang Youqun's expression immediately changed when he heard it. He quickly stood up, then stepped back a few steps, looking at the little mushrooms with lingering fear on his face.

Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, "Don't be so nervous, after all, there are very few mushrooms that can spray highly toxic substances. Most of these mushrooms are actually fine as long as you don't eat them."

According to Xiang Yang, there are many types of Antarctic mushrooms.

For example, the most famous Antarctic McMurdo dry valley fungus.

McMoore, Antarctica, is the place most similar to the Martian environment on Earth. There is a drought and lack of water, almost no snowfall, and only some steep rocks. It is the only area in Antarctica without ice, but it is the worst place on Earth with strong winds all year round. One of the environment.

In McMoore, Antarctica, only some microorganisms and some fungi can grow in cracks and rocks.

Among them, the Antarctic McMer mushroom is the representative fungus in that place.

The main reason why Antarctic McMoore is so famous is that a few years ago, a group of European researchers went to a remote valley to investigate and collected samples of some species, and then sent the samples to the International Space Station for testing.

After 18 months, half of the samples showed that they could adapt to conditions similar to Mars.

Research expert Madrid emphasized that the mission was to evaluate the viability and long-term adaptability of microorganisms on the surface of Mars.

Xiang Yang was not optimistic about the success of that experiment.

Even if it succeeds, it is estimated that no one will grow mushrooms on Mars and then transport them back to Earth to sell.

Of course, if this kind of mushroom can be cultivated on Mars, the significance is absolutely unprecedented. It is not just to say that there is an extra mushroom planting base on Mars.

After building a camp, avoiding the mushrooms growing on the ice, Xiang Yang strolled toward the floating ice mutation.

"The depth of this piece of seawater is more than one kilometer, don't you think of diving here?" Gao Chuang asked suspiciously.

"Even if it's only 100 meters away, I don't dare to go down. Now it is snowing in the sky, and ice can freeze everywhere on the water at any time. I don't dare to use my teeth to get ice holes like a harp seal." Xiang Yang Joked.

Shrugging shoulders high, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really not kidding if you get stuck under the ice while diving.

"This snow seems to be going down for a while. I guess it won’t stop at all for a while. Or we will leave some people at the camp to guard the boats and the camp, and the rest will walk around the entire ice floe together. Can you find any valuable marine products?" Gao Chuang said with a smile.

Xiang Yang thought about it for a while, and quickly agreed to Gao Chuang's proposal.

Anyway, idleness is also idleness, it is better to go around on the whole piece of ice floe.

Even if you don't find any valuable seafood, just take a turn on the ice floes to pass the time.

"Okay, then I'll take a few people to explore the way. You and my crew will guard the ship in the camp. If you find any treasured seafood, I will come back and inform you." Gao Chuang thought to Xiang Yang.

"President Gao, or I should go find the way." Xiang Yang said with a wry smile. At Yi Gao Chuang's current age, it was really inappropriate to explore the way.
