1399. Marching into the black chimney (1)
When he saw Chen Zhifu before, Ao Muyang knew that the other party must have something to help when he came to the door, so he let it go. As long as Chen Zhifu had any more needs, he would do his best to help.
However, he didn't expect that the old man was so upright, so he actually expressed his intention to ask him for help. This was very open and fast.
Ao Muyang asked the old professor to sit down at home. After pouring a cup of herbal tea, he said, "Professor Chen, what else do you need to help me? Please tell me just."
Chen Zhifu said: "Yes, let me be honest. It is dangerous to ask you for help this time, because I need to go to a subsea hydrothermal vent to find new species."
Upon hearing this, Ao Muyang hesitated: "Sea hydrothermal vent? Undersea volcano?"
Chen Zhifu nodded heavily, which made his sunglasses almost fall off. He quickly reached out to hold them: "You can say that."
Ao Muyang asked: "Is there an undersea volcano in Hongyang Bay?"
Chen Zhifu explained: "It's not in Hongyang Bay, but in the sea outside the Zhoushan Islands. In this way, Director Ao, if you have time recently, you might as well go to the sea area there with me. I'll explain the situation of this project in detail to you then."
Ao Muyang wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse. He had just delivered a generous gift to the door, and he just promised that no matter what he was busy, he would do his best as long as he could help. Now he is a pawn crossing the river, advancing but not retreating.
Moreover, Chen Zhifu also came at the right time. It is a fishing ban period and fishing boats cannot go out to sea. He has nothing to do here, so there is no reasonable excuse to refuse.
This made him secretly regret it, but he was still a little tender, and the old man gave him a trick.
After a brief thought, Ao Muyang sighed lightly and said, "Okay, Professor Chen, let's prepare for dinner first, and let's talk about the others until the afternoon."
Chen Zhifu stayed in Longtou Village for a night. In the afternoon, Ao Muyang could not go with him to the offshore area of the Zhoushan Islands. Although the two places were not far apart, once Ao Muyang wanted to help him find the so-called "new life species" under the sea, it would take at least a few days. Ao Muyang had to arrange the work of the village and the patrol team.
After he arranged the work, he took Heilong and Shen Zhifu to sail out of the Zhoushan Islands the next day.
Because he has been out for a while recently, the general is very reluctant to leave. When he saw him get on the boat, the general followed him and did not get off the boat no matter what.
When Ao Muyang saw that there was nothing he could do, he had to bring the general with him.
The speedboat headed southeast, and Chen Zhifu said: "My team has already gone to the surrounding waters to explore the seabed conditions. The local sea conditions are not very stable, and there are many black chimneys under the seabed."
Ao Muyang asked back: "Black chimney?"
Chen Zhifu smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't explain it clearly to you. I told you that I was going to a submarine hydrothermal vent to dive. You understand that it was an undersea volcano. In fact, it was not a volcano in the strict sense, but a black chimney under the sea. Do you know about the black chimney under the sea?"
Ao Muyang nodded. He really knew this.
The black chimney under the sea is also called the undersea hot spring, or it is a type of undersea hot spring. It is literally a fountain deep in the sea. Its principle is similar to a volcanic fountain. There are cracks on the seabed and hot air, magma or soft metal flows are constantly spraying out.
Because of the water pressure and water temperature, the hot air ejected from the hot spring will instantly heat it to boil after encountering cold water on the seabed, forming a stream of water vapor surging upwards, just like a chimney emitting exhaust gas.
Since its discovery in the 1970s, there are many types of hot springs found in the world, including white chimneys, black chimneys and yellow chimneys. Black chimneys are the most common. They generally belong to the high-temperature hydrothermal activity area rich in sulfides on the seabed. When the hydrothermal is sprayed, it looks like "black smoke". At the same time, the sulfurized accumulations formed around it are thin at the top and thick at the bottom, like chimneys.
When Ao Muyang heard that they were going to find the black chimney, Ao Muyang frowned: "Professor Chen, it is very dangerous around the black chimney. If you are not careful, you may die."
Chen Zhifu nodded with a wry smile to show his understanding. He comforted Ao Muyang and said, "Believe me, Director Ao, our team has prepared advanced diving equipment to avoid these dangers to the greatest extent."
Ao Muyang smiled unanimously and said, "You know how high the temperature of the high-temperature hydrothermal activity area around the black chimney is, right? In that environment, even if you are on a submarine, it is dangerous. It has nothing to do with any diving equipment. Once something happens, it will be a big deal!"
Chen Zhifu understood what he meant. Lao Ao was willing to help, but he was unwilling to risk his life to help. He was not married yet.
After a few minutes of silence, he suddenly changed the topic: "Director Ao, did you grow up by the sea?"
Ao Muyang nodded and said yes, Chen Zhifu asked again: "Then do you know Cai Qian and Li Changgeng?"
These were two strange names, so he shook his head.
Chen Zhifu said: "Cai Qian was the most famous pirate since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and Li Changgeng was a senior general of the Qing Dynasty's water division. Their warships were frequently active in the southern offshore of the Zhoushan Islands. Historical materials can be found. The two sides had many fierce battles in this sea area. More than ten years ago, I participated in a submarine shipwreck scientific expedition project. In that project, I discovered the flagship of the fleet to which Li Changgeng belonged! "
Ao Muyang didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this, so he asked: "Sorry, Professor Chen, I don't understand whether this is related to our Black Chimney Science Experiment Project this time?"
Chen Zhifu showed him an unpredictable smile, and then said earnestly: "Cai Qian is an extraordinary person. He has been operating at sea for more than ten years, calling himself Zhenhaiwang, and the gold, silver and jewelry he plundered are piled up like mountains. Legend has it that he hid the jewelry in a remote island, and left a treasure mystery for it, called 'My way to the north and south, east and west, Tibet crust. Big water is sold, small water is dense, small water is dense, and 18 cylinders of wine and camphor, one cylinder after another. Who can get it? Paving the road and connecting the river'."
After hearing this, Ao Muyang reacted. He looked at Chen Zhifu and asked in surprise: "Didn't you look for a new species this time, but for treasure hunting?"
Chen Zhifu laughed, and shook his head and said, "No, no, I am indeed coming for this black chimney under the sea, and I really want to discover new species around the black chimney. As for this treasure of King Kong, someone else has some intentions about it."
Before Ao Muyang could speak, he immediately said, "Do you still remember the people around me when I came to see you last time? You talked to Lao Lu, do you have an impression?"
Ao Muyang said, "I have an impression."
Chen Zhifu said: "They are here too. The ones who are interested in Zhenhaiwang Treasure are their group. Lao Lu runs a salvage company and has been studying Zhenhaiwang Treasure for some time. He believes that the treasure site is located in a place called the Horseshoe Islands and Reefs north of the Black Chimney. Now he is taking people to conduct detailed surveys and searches in that area. Do you understand what I mean now?"
Ao Muyang asked, "Do you want me to stop them to protect the national treasure?"
Chen Zhifu twitched his mouth, then he helped to hold his sunglasses and said, "No, I mean you have superb diving skills. You may not be able to discover the treasure earlier than Lao Lu and his group during the diving process. Then you can become rich and comparable to the country in minutes!"
