Chapter 1864 What is the experience of entering a cetacean chat group

In the Norwegian Sea, a scientific research ship of Norwegian nationality is driving rapidly on the sea.

Ahead, the miraculous ice field has slowly appeared at the end of the sea level.

The long white sea level is like a silver belt embedded in the blue sea and blue sky.

On the bow, more than a dozen people can't wait to start monitoring.

This scientific research ship is called Rocco, which was built by a Norwegian fishing magnate and rich man. It is currently the largest scientific research ship in the world—if you don’t count the Sea Dragon Palace.

With a length of 181 meters and a displacement of 12000 tons, its size far exceeds that of other scientific research vessels.

Many people have no concept of this size. For comparison, the length of Gu Xiaobai's Zhongjun is only 63 meters, only one-third of its length.The domestic 055 destroyer has a total length of only 180 meters, which is comparable to this ship.

In other words, except that this ship is not equipped with lethal weapons, it is basically a top-level warship in all other aspects.

At the same time, it is also one of the most advanced scientific research ships in the world. The various detection instruments it carries can go up to the sky and down to the seabed at a depth of 6000 meters, and even 20 meters below the seabed. .

And the cost of a scientific research ship as large as a warship is also terrifying, reaching as high as one billion US dollars, which is not much cheaper than a warship of the same size.

Facing the sudden appearance of the miraculous ice field, there is probably no ship in the world more qualified to explore than it.

After the Miracle Ice Field appeared, this scientific research ship was already preparing for the trip, and it was preparing for the trip after the Miracle Ice Field appeared, and now it is finally taking place.

This exploration has received funding from many scientific research foundations such as the World Wide Fund for Nature, so climatologists, oceanographers, and polar scientists from all over the world have also gathered on this ship, many of whom are top leaders in the industry .

After all, after all, the appearance of the miraculous ice sheet has had a huge impact on the whole world, and the shock caused by the scientific community can be called an earthquake and tsunami level. There is no doubt that it is very important to understand the cause of it to study the earth's climate , can win a Nobel-level award.

At this time, these scientists are already gearing up, waiting to come up with a blockbuster result.

With so many top scientists, even on such a huge scientific research ship, various equipment is still not enough. Many scientists bring their own small equipment, such as small sonar, which are densely hung on the two strings of the ship, so that This ship doesn't look like a scientific research ship, but a sea fishing boat.

At this time, Kenyon Powell, a meteorologist from the Massachusetts Institute of Meteorology in the United States, was fine.

The monitoring of water temperature, water flow speed, air temperature, air pressure, etc. are all automatic, and now these data can't be analyzed at all.

In order to know the progress of the matter, Vicente of FNC would contact him from time to time, making Kenyon become like a reporter on the ship.

Commissioned by Vicente of NFC, he is looking for someone to connect for FNC.

FNC is now almost broadcasting news related to Miracle Icefield 24 hours a day.

Connecting now is a marine biologist, Roderick Peach.

Roderick is a man from Northern Europe. He has the tough and strong appearance of the Nordic people. His long-term life in the sea makes him seem a little cold and alienated, but in fact, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will be found to be a particularly enthusiastic man.

In the past few days, he and Kenyon got along well, so he accepted the interview with FNC with pleasure.

"We are now studying the nearby marine life. The sudden appearance of such a huge ice sheet has a great impact on the nearby marine ecology, but of course, if you ask, will this impact have a good or bad impact on the ecology? I It can only be said that the world is always changing, large pieces of ice floes will always appear on the ocean, glacial and non-glacial periods will always alternate, there is nothing good or bad in this world, earthquakes and tsunamis often cause huge Ecological disasters, but they are also forces that shape the ecology of the earth. The emergence of miraculous ice sheets, just like earthquakes and tsunamis, may be miraculous to humans, but they are only tiny waves to the ecology of the entire earth..."

Roderick talked eloquently to the camera. Although his English had a slight Nordic accent, he spoke in an orderly manner and his pronunciation was clear, which still made Vicente, who was connected on the opposite side, nod repeatedly: "Mr. Peach, are you A very good oceanographer, I don’t know if I have the honor to invite you as our invited expert of FNC to do some professional interpretation for us. Our audience is very concerned about the current state of various creatures in the North Atlantic… ..."

"Well, of course, it's my pleasure...wait..."

Roderick suddenly widened his eyes as if he saw something, rushed out of the range of the camera, and looked out of the ship's side.

Kenyon, who was helping him connect with his mobile phone, also quickly chased after him.

On the surface of the sea not far away, there are thick water columns gushing out of the sea one after another.

Then, there was a sound of "Woo" like a siren, which continued to come.

"whale!"

"It's a humpback whale!"

There was no need for Roderick to explain, someone else shouted beside him.

The water column of the humpback whale is also very distinctive, it is a thick "ball", and from a distance, the water column that rises and falls forms a cloud of mist on the sea.

"A lot of whales!"

"Strange, why do these humpback whales deviate from their original course?" Roderick lay on the side of the boat and looked towards the sea not far away.

"Roderick, can you explain to our audience what happened?" Vicente asked.

"Uh...Of course." Roderick said: "Please remember to record these pictures for me, this is a very precious picture."

After getting Vicente's nod, he turned around and introduced:

"In fact, most whales are familial creatures. They have different families, and each family has a fixed migration route. They are like human beings of different nationalities, whether it is living habits, recipes or There is a huge difference in language."

"For thousands of years, they have followed the same migration route, cruising along the same route year after year. As far as I know, there is no such a huge group of whales nearby, nor should there be such a huge group of whales in this season."

"Because of the appearance of the miracle ice sheet, the water temperature here is lower than usual. If they want to survive in such icy sea water, they need to consume more energy. This is actually not good for the reproduction of the whale population."

"Could it be that the appearance of the Miracle Ice Field disrupted their migration routes?" Kenyon asked beside him.

"It's very possible... Sorry, I have to observe carefully, and I can't explain further for the time being." Roderick said.

"Of course, please allow our audience to observe with you, we will not disturb you." Vicente said, because the director told him that the audience is actually very interested now!
Most human beings actually have a good impression of whales, the behemoths in the ocean, because they are full of wisdom and have a huge and beautiful body. Therefore, instead of reducing the ratings, these pictures have a trend of continuous improvement.

Over there, Roderick took out the binoculars, and his assistant took out the video camera and began to film the scene in front of him.

After watching for a few minutes, Roderick was surprised: "No, this is not a group of whales!"

Not whales?Kenyon was a little puzzled.

These are obviously whales.

Could it be a shark?

Kenyon even saw several humpback whales leap out of the water.

Turning over in the air and falling into the water, a huge splash was made.

"According to estimates, there are currently about 35000 humpback whales in the world, of which about 11600 live in the Atlantic Ocean. The number here is about 100, which is already considered a group of super-large humpback whales..."

"However, they are not actually a group."

"Look, the humpback whale just now, it's called Big Lance."

"As for the other humpback whale, the tail fin is a bit broken, the one with crescent-shaped white spots, I named it Moon... and that one, that beautiful little angel, although she has grown up, but I Know her, my little Angela! That one over there is her brother Mark..."

Kenyon followed Roderick's fingers, but still couldn't tell which was which.

"Can you tell the difference? Don't they all look the same?" Kenyon was surprised.

"Can't you tell the difference between storms?" Roderick asked.

Isn't this the quality that a scholar should have?
Kenyon was left speechless by Roderick's question.

Then he explained: "Whales will grow up and age like humans, and their appearance will change, but the tail patterns of each whale are different, like human fingerprints. As long as you remember their patterns, you can distinguish them." they……"

"Many of the whales here are the ones I have studied. These are almost all mature humpback whales. They should belong to different whale groups! Usually they don't leave the whale group too far. Why do they come here? What? Why did they get together again?"

For an excellent scientist like Roderick, he can remember the tail patterns of many whales he has studied and tracked.It's like the owner recognizes his cat.

As a meteorologist, Kenyon really didn't have much research on marine life, so he could only watch quietly from the side.

Roderick thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any reason, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "By the way, just ask them!"

"Ask...Ask them?" Kenyon's eyes were about to pop out.

"Wait a minute, I have something good!" Roderick turned and ran into the cabin, and came out shortly after with a small sonar with two floats.

Connecting the small sonar to the laptop, he dropped the sonar from the side of the boat.

As a result, there is one more person "fishing" at sea.

Roderick found a place on the deck to sit down, held the notebook in his arms, and clicked on a program.

A line of logo appeared on it, flashed, and then disappeared.

"Whale whale... chat group?"

This is... chat software?
A complex interface unfolds, most of the interface looks like an oscilloscope, and there is something like an input box at the bottom.

"What is this?" Kenyon wondered.

"You will know right away, I applied for this from Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, and there may not be more than three oceanographers in the world who own this software!" Roderick raised three fingers proudly, "Of course, it's outside the Sea Dragon Palace..."

"If you want to obtain the authorization of this software, you must be the best marine biologist in the industry. You must promise not to accept any commercial funding related to fisheries. It will never be used for research, and you need a huge deposit, but... Worth it!"

Roderick clicked a search button, and soon a prompt appeared on the screen.

"Four groups of whales have been retrieved, which are 1km, 28km, 107km, and 227km away from you respectively. Which group chat do you want to join? The closer the distance, the better the effect. If you want to join the global whale chat, please use a powerful enough Put the sonar into the deep sea channel..."

Roderick clicked on the nearest one without hesitation, and the interface began to initialize. In less than 1 minute, the interface initialization was completed.

In the next second, countless ripples appeared on the oscilloscope-like interface, and various sounds came out from the loudspeaker.

"Is this... the cry of a whale?"

"Yes, this is the communication of whales..." Roderick licked his lips, and then pressed another button.

"Translation, whale→human."

In the next second, all the waveforms changed, and each waveform was followed by floating text.

Continuously emerge from left to right, and then disappear.

It's kind of like that crazy barrage on a very popular video.

At that moment, Kenyon's jaw dropped.

"What is this?!"

Don't tell me, this is the translated whale language!

"Yeah, that's what you were thinking of!" Roderick grinned, then stared at the screen for a while.

The above information is a bit messy, even if it is a translation software, some words are not translated, and many grammars are not correct.

After all, this is the language of whales, and it is difficult to fully translate it into human words.

The two concepts are different.

Roderick took out a small book and turned it over a few times. Kenyon glanced at it. This small book is a bit like a code book. Some strange-looking words have long explanations.

Roderick looked at it for a while, and said: "It seems that everyone is very happy, very happy, very excited... But it's a bit messy, let me ask."

Roderick licked his lips and said nervously: "Actually, this is the first time I've used the speech function... I don't know if it's easy to use..."

He nervously typed a line like a little boy surfing the Internet for the first time in his life.

On the screen, among the chaotic ripples, a waveform was added, followed by a paragraph of text: "Excuse me, what are you happy about?"

"Huh? Who's talking?"

"Brother, where are you from?"

"New here?"

"You don't know? Did you just connect to the Internet?"

"Go to everyone! Take the test!"

"Like everyone, listen to everyone singing!"

"I also like to hear everyone sing, but I do it for Feifei!"

"I want Feifei! I want Feifei! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"
