218: Everyone had a great time
When the time came, everyone returned to the submarine. Due to the intense activity, everyone was hungry.
After Liu Xiaolin learned that Space food was very popular, he stopped researching any kind of underwater meals. This time, for the tour group, he directly brought Space food as everyone's sustenance, because cooking is not allowed in deep-sea submarines, so eating Space food is very convenient.
Everyone picked their favorite flavors of Space food like a buffet and started eating. As expected, it was approved by everyone, and some people ate two or three servings before stopping.
Everyone walked and stopped, spending some time out of the submarine diving, so everyone was very excited and looking forward to it.
Next was the 1000-meter underwater area. Here, underwater mountain ranges could be seen. From this depth onwards, giant underwater creatures could gradually be spotted, such as the lonely Ace whale that can only emit a 52-hertz call, the gentle whale shark with its unique light gray spots and striped skin, the manta ray known for its blanket-shaped body and horn-like fins on its head, the giant clam that can be up to twenty meters wide, weigh up to 1200 kilograms, and live for over a hundred years, and the marlin famous for its colorful dorsal fin and extended spear-like nose, which can reach a length of 220 meters and weigh up to 2 tons...
The members of the underwater tour group coexisted peacefully with these behemoths in the deep-sea area. In front of them, everyone seemed very small. Sometimes, more than twenty people holding hands could barely encircle a giant clam, and more than ten people swimming next to an Ace whale couldn't surround it. Everyone was marveling at the size and diversity of the underwater creatures.
Of course, the most exciting was the 1500-meter deep-sea area. This was where Liu Xiaolin salvaged the welcoming the wind shipwreck. The spot where the shipwreck previously lay had formed a huge underwater pit. Others didn't know how this pit was formed, only Liu Xiaolin and Hong Tongtong knew that a ancient ship carrying the mission of spreading culture had slept here for over five hundred years.
Under the illumination of the Explorer II's external lights, the 1500-meter deep-sea floor had a faintly bright area. While Liu Xiaolin watched everyone playing with the marine life, he took Hong Tongtong around the underwater pit, describing to her the details of salvaging the welcoming the wind, which elicited continuous exclamations from Hong Tongtong.
"Although I didn't see the scene when you were clearing the silt, I can imagine that it took a huge amount of physical and mental effort, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen asleep on the phone that night," Hong Tongtong said with concern.
"Yes, the three of us cleared the area around the hull of such a large ancient ship. Whether it was silt or the moss attached to the surface, we relied on our hands to clear it little by little. At that time, I didn't know it would be such a big project, and I didn't think about going back to find some tools. Was I a bit foolish?" Liu Xiaolin now recalled the scene and sighed, wondering why he didn't think of going back to the submarine to find a tool.
"For your first salvage job, doing this well is already excellent," Hong Tongtong praised her boyfriend with a smile.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Many of you are circling the whale shark, let's go circle it too," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"I'm not going to join that crowd. I want to see the Blood-Lip Batfish, and also look for the small Sea Pig, and the Goblin Shark, the Ghost Shark," Hong Tongtong was very interested in underwater creatures, listing several rare marine species in one breath.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find them. I know where to find them," Liu Xiaolin said, taking Hong Tongtong's hand and swimming forward.
They swam past the mournful-faced Blobfish, past the Frilled Shark, past the Dumbo Octopus, and saw the Ghost Shark with its ghostly face. 33 Novel Network
"Tongtong, look, the Ghost Shark is swimming over," Liu Xiaolin reminded.
"Wow, it looks exactly like the picture, it really looks like a ghost, haha, it's so fun," Hong Tongtong swam over and circled the Ghost Shark several times, finding it more interesting the more she looked at it.
"Everyone, come and see the Ghost Shark," she switched her intercom to the public channel and said to everyone, "It's a very interesting Ghost Shark."
"I saw the Ghost Shark a long time ago, haha, I also saw the Goblin Shark. You take your time looking."
"Ghost Shark? Where? I didn't see it, I was just busy looking at the Dumbo Octopus. Wait for me, I'll be right there."
"I also want to see the Ghost Shark, but I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? I'll go with you."
Six people swam over to watch the Ghost Shark with Liu Xiaolin and the others.
"It really looks like a ghost. Look at its flickering face, it's scary."
"You're too timid. What's scary about this? It's so fun."
"Alright, I've seen the Ghost Shark. I'm leaving, I'm going to see the Dragonfish."
"Okay, I'm leaving too. I haven't seen enough of many underwater creatures."
"Everyone, don't go too far! Pay attention to safety. Some underwater creatures here are aggressive. Don't surround them like you surrounded the whale shark!" Liu Xiaolin couldn't help but remind everyone when he saw them arrive and then quickly disperse.
"Got it, we're all safe. We won't leave the reception range of the Explorer II's positioning channel. We also remember the aggressive marine life you Popular Scienceed about and will stay away."
Liu Xiaolin was very satisfied with the performance of the members of this underwater tour group. Not only did they cooperate 100% with the staff, but they also had extremely high quality, following instructions and prohibitions, and were orderly. They were truly a very disciplined group of people.
Hong Tongtong subsequently found the Atlantic Wolffish, Anglerfish, Blood-Lip Batfish, Goblin Shark, Vampire Squid, Dragonfish, etc., all of which she viewed from a distance, not daring to get too close, knowing that these large underwater creatures are aggressive.
The dive at the 1500-meter depth lasted for nearly an hour. Liu Xiaolin checked the time and found that it was already 3:30 PM, and it was time to return.
Ocean currents converge very frequently during this time period. If a rapid current appears, it could potentially cause a safety accident.
"Dear friends, it's time to return! It's time to return! Please return to the Explorer II in the order you return to the submarine each time," Liu Xiaolin switched his intercom to the public channel and said to everyone, "The period after 4 PM is when ocean currents frequently converge. We need to leave here before 4 PM. Please return to the submarine in an orderly manner."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaolin's announcement, everyone quickly returned to the submarine in order.
Thus, the itinerary of this underwater tour group was completed. Although it wasn't long, everyone had a great time.
