wild star

Chapter 248
The fishing boat stopped, and Liu Heng, who was vomiting heavily, also came out with a pale face.

The fishing boat first experienced rough seas, then the wind and waves stopped, and then arrived here, it was completely calm and the current was very weak.

Zhao Yanling walked out of the control room, and watched the sea with Liu Hengzhan, 300 meters away was the endless Sargassum.

This looks like a very common sargassum, but it is continuously floating all over the sea.A thick layer of sargassum spreads on the surface of the vast sea, forming a unique ocean landscape - sea grassland.

The fishermen put down their work and walked from various posts to the deck.

The boss of the boat looked at the Sargassum not far away, with a serious expression on his face.

Liu Heng said: "The sargassum here absorbs nutrients directly from the seawater, and spreads in an independent growth mode by splitting into pieces. Here, the seawater between the various water layers hardly mixes. Therefore, the shallow water layer Nutrients are updated slowly, and there are very few plankton living on this, less than one-third of other sea areas. As a result, large fish and sea animals that feed on plankton are almost extinct in the shallow water here .Marine ecological research ships found traces of sperm whales in the depths of the ocean."

Generally speaking, such a calm place is an ideal place for a ferry.But in fact, many passing ships throughout the ages have inadvertently been entangled in the hull and power system by thick seaweed, unable to get out.When food and fresh water ran out, crew members would die of hunger and thirst.

In the [-]th century, there were also news that the Sherbel sailing ships were trapped in this sea and died from time to time.Fortunately, after the winter, the sea was no longer calm, and the strong current swept the sargassum to the south, and the ship escaped automatically.

The boat boss said: "In our Portuguese language, this place is called Sagaso, which means grape fruit. Because if you look down from a high place, you will find that the sea level here is tens of centimeters higher than other places. In the center, the thickest part of the sargassum can be up to one meter above sea level. It looks like a bunch of grapes placed on the sea. Fishing boats can only go here, and further ahead, there are sporadic sargassum in the sea. Opposite the boat It's too dangerous."

Zhao Yanling looked at the Sargassum sea area, and it looked as if a piece of land appeared out of thin air from the sea, with lush grassland growing on it.

It is said that Columbus was trapped here for a month.At that time, the era of great exploration had just kicked off. Columbus saw Sargassum from afar and thought he had discovered the Indian continent, but he was disappointed when he found Sargassum.

The Portuguese call this place grape fruit, and other Mediterranean coastal countries call it the magic sea.

Zhao Yanling was very interested and said: "Let the boat go, I'll go and see what's going on."

Liu Heng stopped him: "Don't be busy, wait for me to rest, let's go together. We won't be afraid of wind and waves when we get here, we just need to be careful of ships contacting the moving grassland. Under this sea, there is a basin in the sea, which can be regarded as a huge The basin, in fact, is not completely calm, but the circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean is here, and it will make a circular motion in the basin. Only when the ocean current changes, the clockwise circular motion reverses, and the centrifugal force will throw the sargassum out and be blown to North America by the sea breeze along the coast."

That being the case, Zhao Yanling was not in a hurry anymore.He thought that Liu Heng was worried about some secrets, so he was worried that he would enter alone.

The destination is right in front of us. Although this piece of sea grassland has "long legs" and is erratic from time to time, the boss of the boat said that its center point is almost unchanged and can always be found.

Zhao Yanling looked at the grassland on the sea, but couldn't tell if it was moving or the boat was moving.

In the air, there is a faint stench that makes people want to vomit, coming from the sargassum.

When they get here, the fishermen have to take turns to patrol, always pay attention to the distance between the boats, and move every once in a while.

After dinner, Liu Heng had a good rest, and the captain of the boat brought a slender and big-bellied copper glass mast lamp, which burned kerosene.

The boat boss laughed and said: "This is a mast lamp passed down from my grandfather's generation. The base can be burned for a long time if it is filled with oil. You can use it for lighting."

Zhao Yanling saw that the copper appliqués of the masthead lights were exquisite, and the glass surface was polished brightly, but there were inevitably black marks of kerosene burning in the cracks and corners, and it really looked like an old object.This thing, if sold to a buyer who likes old parts, can also be worth a few bucks.

Zhao Yanling understood that it was because the boss of the boat was grateful to him for helping them escape, and this matter involved the boss of the boat, so it was hard to say it directly.

Zhao Yanling nodded her thanks and didn't say much.

After lowering the boat, Jesus chattered a few words with the boat boss, as if he wanted to go and have a look with Zhao Yanling and the others.

The boss of the boat scolded him a few words, and the boy gave up.

The two got into the boat and sailed slowly towards Sargasso.

The closer you get, the stronger the stench becomes.This kind of ecological environment is actually unhealthy. First of all, too many sargassums gather together, and it is inevitable that there will be no sunlight or enough nutrients. This is why there are few nutrients in the water.Zhao Yanling guessed that the oxygen content here must not be too high.In this case, the dead sargassum is stacked together, and the smell of retting after rotting will be very strong.

In the dim light of the masthead lights, the water friends found through Wangcai that this place really looks like a grassland, especially when they come into close contact.They don't smell the stink, they only see the surface.

"It's hard to imagine that there is such a scene in the sea."

"It's no different from when I went to Inner Mongolia to see the prairie."

At this time, Zhao Yanling had passed the vibration frequency of the boat, and felt that the motor behind the boat seemed to be entangled by sargassum.

He said to Liu Heng: "Turn off the motor, let's paddle."

If the motor is tangled and the cylinder is damaged, it will be troublesome when it comes out.

Among the sargassum, there are also some areas that are empty, exposing the dark sea, meandering like a river flowing through the grassland.

Zhao Yanling shook his oars, and the water friend saw his latissimus dorsi shaking regularly, the lumps were obviously raised, so he couldn't help but tease him.

"Envy, this back is really thick."

"I don't need a rowing machine at all, just row the boat."

"My old Zhao is too manly!"

Men have broad shoulders and thick backs, and women feel safe when they look at them.

Suppressing the stench, Zhao Yanling turned around in the sargassum, and Liu Heng was not idle.He went from stern to bow, moving a long hollow tube back and forth, pushing the sargassum out of the way.

The two of them moved forward with great difficulty, and Zhao Yanling rowed harder and harder, because there were a lot of sargassum hanging on the two oars, and the result was twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, every ten or twenty meters, he had to stop to remove the sargassum wrapped around the oar.

Only then did the water friends realize that many of those sargassums were sticky and rotten like mud.Looking at Zhao Yanling's posture of suppressing vomiting, one can imagine how strong the taste of that thing is!

After walking more than a hundred meters in, Zhao Yanling felt a slight current that caused the boat to drift involuntarily.

He thought of what Liu Heng said, there is an inconspicuous circulation under the water that drives the sargassum to rotate, and it must have reached the edge of the circulation.The circulation speed is faster than that of Sargassum, and the hull is long and narrow, and the force it receives is greater than that of Sargassum.

He shook his left arm and relaxed his right arm, wanting to correct the direction of the boat, but this cannot be reversed by manpower, and the boat rushed into the pile of sargassum as soon as he saw it...

　Thanks don't say suffocate your reward.

　　Continue to emphasize that the book will not be a eunuch.
