These things seem to be unrelated.

However, if it is assumed that there is a huge creature in the middle, then it is reasonable...

Bear country does not want to spread panic, neither does any country!

At this moment, Lu Guangyuan and Li Bingqing finally understood,

Human beings still know too little about the planet they live on...

"Director Xu, do you think there might be such a huge creature under the deep sea?"

It can easily bite off half of a blue whale!

Its mouth is bigger than a blue whale, but what about its whole body?

Have human beings been carrying out scientific research and exploration in the sea where there are such huge and terrifying monsters? !

Under the deep sea, although there are creatures, the types of creatures are relatively monotonous.

The deep sea is a high-pressure, dark and icy world, usually only two degrees Celsius.

However, there are also special existences. For example, very few seabeds are affected by geothermal heat, and the water temperature can be as high as 380 degrees!

Under that pressure, the water temperature can easily exceed one hundred degrees in atmospheric pressure.

However, there are generally no fish in this rare seabed, and there are only some heat-loving and heat-resistant microorganisms and bacteria.

Nowadays, human beings explore the deep sea,

Researchers have seen shrimp, squid, octopus, calamari, and sperm whales and other large sea animals on the seabed of more than 1000 meters. There are groups of large-mouthed anglerfish between more than 2000 meters and 3000 meters.

And 700 meters is the maximum depth for fresh and tender deep-sea eels to dive.

At 3000 meters,

The water temperature here has been kept between zero degrees Celsius and three degrees Celsius all year round.

However, due to the high density and high salt content of sea water, it does not freeze at all.

The water pressure here is equivalent to pressing thirteen Statues of Liberty with pedestals on the human body.

Giant squid haunts these places.

After 4000 meters, it is the abyssal water zone.

From here, many deep-sea fish have degenerated eyes, lose their vision, and use their tactile organs to perceive everything around them. There are also a few fish such as fangtooth fish. Below 6000 meters, there is a super abyssal water zone!

The water temperature here is around zero degrees Celsius, or even lower. The deepest depth reached by the "Jiaolong" four years ago was 500 meters.

And below 8000 meters,

Humans are known to believe that no fish survive below this depth.

Until a few years later, a scientist of the Eagle Country Deep Sea Project discovered a strange species here...

Li Bingqing and Lu Guangyuan swallowed,

Regarding the exploration of deep sea creatures, the two of them are not clear.

"Under the depth of 8000 meters, there are still fish? What is that?" Li Bingqing was extremely surprised.

Are there really any fish that can survive that horrible water pressure?

If it is captured, can its skin be directly made into body armor?and.

Chapter 120 The Giant of the Deep Sea, That Frightening Existence!

Li Bingqing was shocked.

Could it be that those submarines that lost their audio in the deep sea were really destroyed by some creature?

Xu Qiu's voice carried a mysterious air, which made people's ears prick up.

"In the deep sea below 8000 meters, there may be the secret of the origin of fish.

"There's something called trimethylamine oxide, which is a protein that fish use to firmly build and maintain cells.

"Without the presence of trimethylamine oxide, the protein of the cell will be distorted and stop working under the high pressure of the deep sea. And it is this substance that gives the fish a fishy smell!" Li Bingqing and Lu Guangyuan looked at each other.

None of them majored in chemistry, nor did they study deep-sea organisms,

I am very unfamiliar with trimethylamine oxide.

Xu Qiu didn't introduce it either, this is not the point.

He went on to say: "In the water layer below 8000 meters, the researchers of Eagle Country accidentally discovered a new fish with a size of only [-] centimeters!

"This fish looks very strange. It looks like a strange lion-like creature with a wet tissue floating behind it!" Xu Qiu thought for a while, took out a piece of white paper, and quickly drew the outline of this fish. sketch.

Li Bingqing and Lu Guangyuan looked over and were horrified by the painting on the white paper.

This kind of fish is not like anything they have ever seen, not even... not like any creature known to live on Blue Star!

White, small eyes, no fish scales, it looks like a lion living in the deep sea.

Xu Qiu went on to say: "In fact, in order to adapt to the deep-sea environment, the physiological functions of deep-sea fish have undergone great changes.

These changes are reflected in the muscles and bones of deep-sea fish.

Due to the huge water pressure of the deep-sea environment, the skeleton of the fish becomes very thin; and it is easy to bend.

Muscle tissue becomes particularly flexible, and fibrous tissue becomes surprisingly fine.

What's more interesting is that there will be only a very thin layer of film left in the fish skin tissue, which can fill the physiological tissues in the fish body with water and maintain the balance of internal and external pressure.

This is also the reason why deep-sea fish will not be crushed under such great pressure.

Therefore, it is just a joke to use the skin of deep-sea fish to make body armor. Their skin tissue is not only not hard, but extremely weak.

This is exactly the case with this lion-like fish. So far, no one has captured this strange creature. The only evidence that proves their existence is a few photos. "It is still a bit difficult for human technology to capture creatures in the deep sea.

It is very rare for a human submarine to be able to withstand the huge water pressure in the deep sea.

Just stretching out the probe to collect the soil on the seabed for scientific research and analysis is as difficult as reaching the sky.What's more, in the deep sea below 8000 meters, devices such as nets are stretched out to catch fish.If there is such a design, I am afraid that the water pressure will crush this device in an instant!

Not just Eagle Country,

In fact, this peculiar fish has also been found in the process of diving in Longguo and Berryguo.

Surprisingly,

This kind of fish does not seem to be affected by the sea area. It exists under the Arctic Ocean in the extreme north, the warm Pacific Ocean, and the ocean under Antarctica.

The possible reason is,

Although the sea level of each ocean is different, there is actually no difference in the deep sea. It is all terrifying water pressure, extreme darkness, scarce oxygen content, and lack of food.

There are fish and shrimp in shallow water, and dragons in deep sea.

In fact, this is also one of the roots of the name Jiaolong.

Since ancient times, the Dragon Kingdom has dreamed of exploring the mysteries of the deep sea, and many people also have illusions about the deep sea, thinking that the bottom may be a mysterious place.

However......

Xu Qiu laughed and said, "In the deep sea layer below 4000 meters, it is basically impossible for giant creatures to exist."

"The average depth of the ocean on Blue Star is about 800 meters, and 90.00% of the seawater exists below 1000 meters. According to the characteristics of sunlight propagating in the ocean, we can divide the ocean into four levels.

The first layer is the light layer, where sunlight can penetrate, and the water temperature is around [-] degrees. The algae in the water and the plants extending from the continental shelf can carry out photosynthesis, providing food sources for the entire huge food chain.

Most of the marine life in "[-]" is distributed in this layer, such as krill, jellyfish, seahorses, sea turtles, sharks and so on.

The second layer is distributed between 200 meters and 1000 meters, the dull layer.

The light here is very weak, and plants can hardly carry out photosynthesis. From here, they have entered the dark zone of the seabed, which is considered to have entered the deep sea.

There are no producers in the dull layer for photosynthesis, and a complete food chain cannot be formed. The living organisms that exist are mainly cetaceans and giant squids that migrate up and down.

Of course, there are also seals and sea lions, which, by contracting their lungs, dive deep into this layer.

Emperor penguins can also plunge into the deep sea of ​​more than 400 meters with a fierce son. This is the only land creature that can enter the 400-meter seabed except humans.

The third layer is the semi-abythmic layer, ranging from 1000 meters to 4000 meters.

It is completely dark here, and the species of creatures have been greatly reduced. Most of the special species that can survive here are special species that can emit light, as well as other cephalopods and crustaceans.

As for the deep sea...

Not to mention giant creatures, even Daxing creatures over ten meters are almost impossible to exist!

This is mainly related to the characteristics of the deep sea.

First, lack of food.

The ocean's most important source of energy is sunlight, but sunlight reaches a maximum depth of about 200 meters, below which primary producers cease to exist.

A complete food chain cannot be formed, therefore, deep-sea organisms cannot obtain enough energy, and even if large-scale organisms do appear, the energy of the deep sea cannot maintain their lives.

First -, low temperature.

Without light, there is no temperature. Not all organisms can adapt to the low temperature environment in the deep sea. As the depth drops, the temperature also drops sharply.

Those that can survive in low temperature are all special species with extremely low metabolism!

Even if a large creature does nothing and remains in a dormant state, given its size, it is impossible to achieve an extremely low metabolism.

Third, high pressure.

Fish release high pressure through the thin skin tissue.

This is an evolution that only small fish can do.

As the depth drops, the pressure on the bottom of the sea increases. A water depth of ten meters will bring about an atmospheric pressure. At a depth of thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters, steel can be instantly crushed into powder...

Unless it really has a body that is harder than steel like Godzilla, it is impossible for a large creature to survive. "

Li Bingqing's face changed slightly, "What if there really is a Godzilla?"
