My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 674: The Underwater World of the Crater

Xiang Yang was dumbfounded, the scene in front of him almost made Xiang Yang think that he had returned to the reef of Xisha.

Xiang Yang looked around to make sure there was no danger around, and then carefully swam into the ring.

Once inside, the diving equipment immediately issued a high temperature warning.

Xiang Yang turned his head to look at the thermometer on his arm, and was surprised to find that the surrounding seawater had reached an astonishing fifty degrees.

"Is it a liquid vent or an active volcano?" Xiang Yang immediately stopped in his tracks. Whether it is a liquid vent or an active volcano, it is very dangerous for humans.

The so-called liquid vents are actually submarine volcanoes, but when they erupt, what they eject is not magma, but hydrothermal fluid.

At the center of the hydrothermal vent, the temperature can exceed 300 degrees, and there will be a lot of toxins in the surrounding water, making the living environment extremely harsh.

"Strange, I haven't seen these crabs at all." Xiang Yang stared thoughtfully at a group of crabs swimming not far from his feet.

Regardless of whether the bottom of the ring is a hydrothermal vent or an active volcano, there is no doubt that the lower the ring, the higher the temperature. In such a harsh environment, these marine organisms survived. Miracle.

Xiang Yang dived carefully little by little. Under the ring mouth, Xiang Yang saw many strange sea creatures. Even octopuses are very different from octopuses in the outside world.

As for the starfish, Xiang Yang even saw a seven-armed starfish that he had never seen before.

It was not until he dived tens of meters that Xiang Yang finally saw a familiar creature.

It was a group of crabs, very large, the largest was nearly 20 centimeters, and the average was 14 to 15 centimeters.

This kind of crab is different from other crabs. It has a very thick hair pad on the lower end of the crab shell.

This is snow crab. There are a lot of bacteria or parasites in the body. Human beings cannot eat it without special treatment.

Xiang Yang saw the group of snowshoes, and the group of snowshoes also saw Xiang Yang, but instead of running away, they gathered together little by little, as if they were ready to attack Xiang Yang at any time.

Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, he never thought of catching these snow crabs.

Snow crabs are very smart crabs. They generally only live in volcanic vents under extremely cold waters. They are one of the few creatures in nature that can produce their own food.

The thick blanket under the snow crab shell is the farmland of snow crabs, and they will cultivate a large number of bacteria in the blanket as their rations.

Because the temperature of the volcanic eruption is extremely high and the bacteria divide very quickly, creatures such as snow crabs will never be short of food in their entire lives.

Of course, surviving in the crater is not so easy.

Humans once discovered a large number of snow crabs in a 2,400-meter-deep submarine crater. Many snow crabs had very obvious burn marks on their bodies, which was caused by being too close to the crater.

Quietly bypassing the group of snow crabs, Xiang Yang continued to explore the bottom of the ring mouth.

Soon, Xiang Yang saw an unknown plant.

This plant is covered with snow-like branches and leaves, and even the root is snow-white, with three orange-red flowers the size of the mouth of a teacup blooming on it.

Xiang Yang forgot the name of this plant, but Xiang Yang once saw it in an academic paper. It is said that this flower can decompose the poisonous chemicals in the black smoke from the eruption of the submarine volcano and turn it into its own nutrients. They can still survive well in the dark seabed.

Continuing to explore around the ring mouth, Xiang Yang was surprised to find that the surrounding temperature was actually starting to drop. Before the entrance, the temperature was as high as 50 degrees, but now the temperature here is only 30 degrees. degree.

Here, Xiang Yang saw a lot of things that looked like bean sprouts. These things were tightly packed together to form a large dense area. Xiang Yang didn't know whether it was an animal or a plant. He only felt that so many mysterious creatures gathered in the Together, it's truly spectacular.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang felt as if he had stepped on something soft.

Xiang Yang flashed his figure quickly, and swam to a place several meters away in an instant, and then looked carefully at the place where he was standing before.

"It turned out to be an octopus." Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the mysterious creature clearly.

"Hey, no, this is not an ordinary octopus." But then Xiang Yang realized something was wrong. The top of the octopus's head was very large and short, not the pointy shape of ordinary octopuses, but very similar to animations. The octopus in the film has a round head and protruding eyes, which looks very scary.

Except for the snow crab, Xiang Yang knew none of the creatures in this ring mouth.

In a rock crevice that is more than ten centimeters wide and hundreds of meters long, Xiang Yang also saw a strange-looking crab. The shell of this crab was actually the shape of a pear, with a pointed mouth and a big back. It is only seven or eight centimeters wide, but it is about ten centimeters long. It looks very weird, and it somewhat breaks Xiang Yang's inherent understanding of crabs.

The strangest thing is that under the crab shells of these crabs, like snow crabs, there is actually a thick layer of blanket.

These strange crabs are densely crowded in the crevices of the rocks, like white skeletons, looking very hideous and terrifying.

Then on the rocks, Xiang Yang also found a large number of barnacles, snails and sea anemones.

The barnacle is a serious barnacle, stone gray, very standard cylindrical barnacle, and because there are not enough dangerous things in the seawater, it looks very thin. The vitality of this thing is very tenacious, basically as long as there is seawater where it can survive.

Xiang Yang really almost didn't recognize that snail.

A shell about the size of an ashtray looks very much like a purple sand pot.

If Xiang Yang hadn't seen the two iconic meat horns on its head, Xiang Yang would have thought he had discovered a brand new conch.

Most of the marine life here is incompatible with other marine life outside, even Xiang Yang, who is well-informed, was stunned for a while, and it took a while to recover.

At the same time, on the ice floe, a first officer handed Chen Qingsheng a cigarette, and then said with a smile: "Your captain has gone under the water, why don't you go down and take a look with us?"

As soon as Chen Qingsheng heard the tone of the first mate's words, he immediately knew that he was teasing Xiang Yang for his overreaching, and even drilled into the water at a depth of more than 500 meters.

Chen Qingsheng was not angry either, he smiled and said: "I am not qualified to be a first officer, but there is no way, there are not many people who can go down in such a deep sea, right? I just want to help our captain, I I can't go down either."
