My Deep-sea Fishery

"you go?"

Gao Chuang looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously, "Xiang Yang, it's not that Uncle Gao doesn't believe you, you really can't grasp the snowy Antarctic."

Xiang Yang blinked his eyes, but actually Xiang Yang wanted to go under the water alone to have a look.

If Gao Chuang knew what Xiang Yang was thinking, he would have to think that Xiang Yang was crazy.

"Well, sooner or later you will come to Antarctica alone, let you young people go with me to experience it." Gao Chuang said to himself.

Gao Chuang had already said that, so Xiang Yang had no choice but to back off, "Okay, then thank you, Mr. Gao."

"Come on, put this on your back first, and I'll teach you how to use it later." Gao Chuang handed Xiang Yang a small gas tank.

Xiang Yang was a little curious. The outlet of the gas tank was connected to a jet. He saw that Gao Chuang had used it before, and it could spray a flame several meters long, but Xiang Yang hadn't tried how to use it.

Actually this gas tank is very easy to use.

Inside the gun-like injector, there is a battery that can generate sparks. When the trigger is pulled, the two batteries will generate sparks, and then ignite the gas, which is somewhat similar to a large lighter.

After sufficient preparations, Gao Chuang led more than 20 people and set off towards another section of the ice surface.

Stepping on the ice, Xiang Yang kept looking down at his feet.

This is not the kind of ice floe that is only a few meters thick that they encountered when they first arrived in Antarctica. This ice floe is hundreds of meters thick, and it can be called an eternal piece of land. When stepping on this ice floe, , Xiang Yang always had a very subtle feeling in his heart.

The scenery on the floe is no longer monotonous.

Xiang Yang looked around, there were traces of ice cracks everywhere, all kinds of ice cracks, like Yin carved patterns, making people dazzled.

"These ice floes have existed for tens of thousands of years. After so many years of ups and downs, both the interior and the surface have completely cracked due to various reasons, but because the ice floes are too thick , even if it cracks, it cannot be divided into countless small pieces, so we can see so many cracks when we stand on its surface now." Gao Chuang explained to Xiang Yang with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded, in fact, Xiang Yang understood all these.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, a group of people finally encountered the first creature on the ice floe.

A short and thin Adélie penguin was standing not far away, stalking the crowd, flapping its wings fiercely, matching the black and white colors, like a hell messenger with teeth and claws.

"Ignore the Adélie penguin, on some new, fragile ice floes, it is possible for an Adélie penguin to occupy an entire ice floe, be the overlord of the entire ice floe, in order to defend its own Territory, Adélie penguins will fiercely attack all intruders, but on such a large ice floe, Adélie penguins are actually very weak." Gao Chuang said calmly.

Xiang Yang nodded slightly, while looking solemnly behind the Adélie penguin.

Not far behind that Adélie penguin, there is a group of emperor penguins looking towards this side. They are tightly huddled together and snuggled up to each other for warmth.

"The number of that group of emperor penguins is probably thousands. It seems that there are no such dangerous creatures as leopard seals on this ice floe. Otherwise, there would not be so many emperor penguins on this ice floe. Settle down." Xiang Yang said softly.

Gao Chuang glanced over there, "No matter how many emperor penguins there are, they will not pose any threat to humans."

"But let's go in one direction, let's go this way, it will be very troublesome if we get entangled by this group of emperor penguins."

Xiang Yang nodded, they came out this time to explore the way, not to cause trouble.

Xiang Yang is very supportive of Gao Chuang's detour plan, and Xiang Yang doesn't want to mess with such a large group of emperor penguins.

Going forward, there seemed to be no other creatures on the ice, only some seabirds were left circling in the low sky. It seemed that these birds did not dare to fly high in the snowstorm, but they were forced to make a living. Had to come out for food in this blizzard.

"Huh."

At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly let out a light snort.

"What's wrong?" Gao Chuang asked quickly.

Xiang Yang pointed to the front and said: "I just saw that there seemed to be water waves rippling under the ice at that place, and there seemed to be a lake under the ice in front."

"Really? In which direction?" Gao Chuang asked in surprise.

In the ice and snow of Antarctica, it is indeed possible for lakes to exist inside the ice.

There are even American researchers who used satellites to compile a map of the distribution of Antarctic ice lakes.

Using satellites, humans have made a relatively comprehensive catalog of active lakes under the Antarctic ice.

Countless Antarctic lakes can form a huge Antarctic continental pipeline system, and its complexity and activity are even higher than scientists previously expected.

Humans even discovered a huge freshwater lake at a place four thousand meters below the ice.

The world is very wonderful, especially the mysterious Antarctica, where there are many amazing things.

In fact, freshwater lakes are very common in any part of the world, and there is nothing to say, but when a freshwater lake appears in Antarctica, and it is four kilometers deep under the ice, it is worth talking about.

The freshwater lake four kilometers deep under the ice is called Lake Vostok.

It is a freshwater lake with an area of ​​15,690 square kilometers in Antarctica.

Such a large freshwater lake is very rare in our country, let alone in remote Antarctica. It can be seen how surprising the existence of this lake is.

Lake Vostok is the largest subglacial lake in the world.

The entirety of Lake Vostok is under the Antarctic ice.

Lakes that can exist under the ice are actually very rare in Antarctica. There are actually only more than 140 subglacial lakes in the entire Antarctic, and there are no other continents at all.

Lake Vostok is the deepest lake in Antarctica, reaching a depth of 4,000 meters. It was discovered by accident. The reasons for its formation are very complicated.

Because this lake is under the ice, Xiang Yang still wants to see this lake in his heart.

After all, there are more and more expedition teams in Antarctica these years, and there may be many tourists in the future, but the natural environmental carrying capacity of Antarctica is very low, and many world-class wonders may be destroyed or even cannot be restored if they are not careful. , if Xiang Yang doesn't go to see it as soon as possible, maybe he won't even have to watch it if he wants to.

"It's right in front of that, but I'm not sure." Xiang Yang said.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Gao Chuang waved his hand and said directly.
