My Deep-sea Fishery

"No way?" The first officer was quite surprised: "You don't mean to say that your captain can dive to a depth of more than 500 meters?"

"It's hard to say." Chen Qingsheng said with a smile. Xiang Yang's diving skills are very superb, Chen Qingsheng still doesn't know where Xiang Yang's limit is, but if it is 500 meters, Chen Qingsheng dare not guarantee it, after all, this number is too scary, the world diving record is only 300 Domi, how could someone be able to record this and raise it so much.

In fact, what Chen Qingsheng didn't know was that the record of 300 meters was achieved by humans only relying on an oxygen cylinder and the most basic diving equipment.

With some diving suits like humanoid submersibles, the deepest diving record recorded by humans is 1,700 meters. There is no record, but the information can be found at more than 4,000 meters. The bottom of the sea can only be seen. Wearing such a bulky diving suit, it is not as flexible as a single-man deep submersible.

"Boom!"

Just at this time, Xiang Yang broke through the water and got out from under the water.

"captain."

"Brother Yang."

"Boss Xiang."

A group of people immediately surrounded the past.

"How is it? With this diving suit, can you go down to the bottom of the sea?" Gao Chuang asked loudly.

"It's a little difficult. The bottom here should actually be less than 500 meters. The 500 meters shown by our sonar detection is because there is a huge volcanic crater at the bottom. When I entered the crater, the diving on my body The device issued a high temperature alarm, so I didn't dare to continue down." Xiang Yang said.

In order not to shock the world, Xiang Yang didn't tell the real thing he saw in the mouth of the ring, but said vaguely that he was able to dive to a depth of more than 400 meters.

If so, many people look at Xiang Yang like they look at monsters.

"Good guy, you can actually dive to the bottom of the sea." Even Gao Chuang said in shock.

"After all, it is a diving equipment used in scientific research laboratories, and its ability to withstand pressure is still very good." Xiang Yang said with a smile. Most of the credit goes to the diving equipment.

"It turns out to be a volcano down here. No wonder there are so many krills in this area." Gao Chuang stroked the stubble under his chin. If it is not Antarctica, it will definitely form a good fishing ground."

"Even if there is no fishing ground, it would be good to have a shrimp farm." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the volcano did not erupt completely.

If the volcano below here erupted completely, many creatures in the large sea area near here would be completely dead.

However, the probability of this happening is extremely low.

Generally speaking, although this sea area is covered by ice and snow, the world of ice and snow does not block the miracle of life. Whether it is the extremely cold climate on the sea surface or the extremely hot climate below the ring mouth, there is vitality.

This sea area has an ecosystem that Xiang Yang has never heard of before. Although it looks very fragile, whether it is a blizzard on the sea surface that completely freezes the entire sea surface, or a volcanic eruption under the sea, this ecosystem can completely collapse. , but this seemingly fragile ecosystem has survived so tenaciously, and will continue to exist in the future.

"We have been on this ice floe for a long time, get ready, we are going to turn east." Gao Chuang said to Xiang Yang.

east? Do you want to continue south?

Xiang Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

If you go further south, it is the Antarctic continent.

On the entire Antarctic road, there are very few creatures, and even fewer creatures that can be hunted.

The food in Antarctica is concentrated in the ocean, and most of the natural animals live in the ocean or along the coast.

"Well, I'll ask someone to prepare, pack up the camp, and then we can leave at any time." Xiang Yang nodded.

"It's okay, don't be so anxious. It's not easy for everyone these few days. Give the crew half a day off and let them arrange it themselves." Gao Chuang waved his hand.

Xiang Yang nodded, agreeing to Gao Chuang's proposal.

As a result, when Xiang Yang announced the result, none of the crew members took a rest. Instead, each of them took their tools and began to jump on the edge of the ice cave.

"Brother Yang, it's time for free activities. Can the catches I caught during this time be my own?" Fang Youqun asked Xiang Yang excitedly, dragging a ground cage.

"That's no problem, but no one can carry a maximum of two hundred catties. If it's more, I won't ship it back."

"Ah? Two hundred catties is not enough, not enough for a cage." Fang Youqun immediately protested.

Chen Qingsheng patted Fang Youqun on the head, "Do you think that fuel costs are free? There are so many Antarctic krill in this area. If you let you fish unrestrainedly, will the captain want to catch other fish?"

Xiang Yang smiled, what Chen Qingsheng said was exactly what Xiang Yang thought.

The two hundred catties is not something that Xiang Yang thought of casually. One of the cabins on the ship, a frozen cabin, has a loading capacity of about 20 tons. In the cabin, Xiang Yang is ready to use it directly for the crew.

"Okay, two hundred catties is two hundred catties, it's better than nothing." Fang Youqun carried the ground cage and walked to the edge of the ice cave muttering.

"Brother Yang, I'm actually just curious about a question. The water here is so clear. What do you think these krills eat? Boss Gao said before that they eat organic matter that is rolled up from the bottom of the sea, but I don't think so. See where this organic thing is." Fang Youqun suddenly turned his head and asked Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun and replied, "Krill don't eat any organic matter. Those organic matter are the nourishment of various algae. The main food of krill is algae."

"Algae? How can there be?" Fang Youqun's eyes widened, and he looked around, "Brother Yang, why didn't I see the algae you mentioned?"

"It's not giant algae. Of course you can't see it. The algae in Antarctica are mainly phytoplankton. They exist in large quantities from the middle layer of seawater to the sea ice. Take the diatoms that krill like to eat as an example. Its volume It can only be measured in microns, but your eyes can clearly see micron-sized things from such a distance?" Xiang Yang asked rhetorically.

"Micrometers? So small? Are they enough for krill?" Fang Youqun asked in surprise.

"Of course it is enough, and don't underestimate diatoms. Don't look at their small size, but they are the most important part of the entire Antarctic marine ecology. Without diatoms, Antarctic krill would have no food source. Without Antarctica Krill, and other marine life will starve to death."
