Chapter 688: The Giant Beast in the Sea (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Stern of the yacht, movable swim platform.
Soon, Ye Tian came here, but he didn't take off his shoes and walked off the swimming platform.
Matisse and Raymond, as well as Kenny, are all on the platform, busy with their duties, and there is no need to add another person, it will only add to the chaos!
Like the two Hollywood stars who came here before, Ye Tian also stood on the main deck above the swimming platform and acted as a bystander.
The yellow underwater robot has been put into the sea by Matisse and them, and it is floating on the surface of the sea at the moment, which is very conspicuous!
This is a torpedo-shaped underwater robot, about 1.5 meters long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about 30 centimeters, a small volume, and a weight of about 50 kilograms.
The robot has a compact structure and good passability, and the shell is made of high-performance buoyancy materials, with low density, high pressure resistance, low water seepage, strong impact resistance and corrosion resistance!
The front end is a transparent hemispherical surface protruding forward, protected by a metal frame, which houses several pieces of equipment such as a high-definition optical zoom camera, sensors, sonar detectors, and strong light searchlights.
Once underwater, it captures clear images of the depths of the ocean using its high-definition optical zoom camera and strong searchlight, which are transmitted back to the yacht in real time.
The sonar detector it carries can achieve a wide range of long-distance detection, and the maximum underwater detection distance is 220 meters, which can greatly improve the exploration efficiency!
Outside this underwater robot, protected by metal crash frames and cushioning materials, there are also several underwater high-definition optical cameras, as well as several underwater strong light searchlights.
With these high-definition optical cameras and luminaires, you can smoothly capture every angle of the seabed that the robot passes, without missing a thing!
If you want to go into the water to explore, it must be indispensable to propulsion.
There are a total of five power-controlled thrusters, located at the tail, on both sides, and up and down of the underwater robot, and the rest of the thrusters can be remotely adjusted except for the tail thrusters.
With these reorientable thrusters, the operator can maneuver the underwater robot with ease, allowing it to reach wherever it wants to explore.
There are two ways to control this underwater robot, in the depth range of 300 meters, it can be controlled wirelessly, beyond this depth, it can only be controlled by cable!
Although there are already unmanned cableless deep submersibles, that is, underwater intelligent robots, and the technology is also very mature, they are not suitable for this exploration operation.
The sea area explored this time is not small, and the underwater robot needs to operate in the depths of the ocean for a long time, and it is not a small problem to continue to provide power for the robot.
With unmanned cable submersibles, this problem does not exist.
As long as the underwater robot does not malfunction, it can stay in the depths of the seabed and continue to explore with the movement of the yacht, which is very efficient!
Even in the event of a malfunction, the controller can use a steel cable to lift the robot to the surface of the water for quick repairs.
The underwater intelligent robot is different, its underwater operation time is strictly limited by the reserve power, once the power is used up, it must rise to the surface and replace the battery.
If it malfunctions in the deep ocean or loses contact with the surface, it is likely that it will never be able to surface, and will remain in the depths of the ocean, becoming a man-made seabed garbage.
It is based on the above reasons that Ye Tian and the others chose this relatively traditional underwater robot!
There are also two ways for this underwater robot to transmit signals, wireless transmission within 300 meters, and cable transmission beyond this depth!
When Ye Tian came to the stern, all the preparations had been completed.
All kinds of equipment and power reserves carried by underwater robots, Mattis and they have all been tested, and there is no problem, and they can start exploring at any time.
The cables that control and connect the drone to the yacht, as well as the thin, high-strength steel cables, are already connected and are very strong enough to operate the drone perfectly.
You're all set!
After a few quick exchanges with Matisse, Ye Tian quickly issued an order.
"Guys, let's get the robot into the water, the exploration of the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga is now underway, hopefully this underwater robot will send back amazing images"
"Okay, Steven!"
Mattis: They echoed in unison, and everyone was excited.
Immediately afterward, Kenny pressed the button of the electric winch and began to slowly release the cable.
The robot floating on the surface of the sea then sank into the water, gradually sinking into the depths of the sea.
Soon, this yellow torpedo-shaped underwater robot completely disappeared from everyone's sight and dived into the depths of the Caribbean Sea to explore the unknown dark world at a depth of 800 meters!
After handing over control of the winch to Raymond, Kenny quickly ascended the stairs back to the main deck and began to control the underwater robot using a computer.
Next, the underwater robot will be mainly responsible for the work of exploring the treasure of the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, with others assisting.
Matisse also left the swim platform and returned to the main deck, leaving Raymond alone on the swim platform, controlling the yacht's own winch, releasing the steel cable at a constant speed!
Ye Tian glanced at the sea twice, and then said to a few people around him:
"Guys, let's go back to the main deck cabin and see what the underwater robots can photograph, and you can also enjoy the scenery in the deep sea, it must be beautiful!"
"Let's go! I'd love to see what the depths of the ocean are like, what strange creatures are there, and maybe something surprising!"
Johnny said excitedly, turned around and walked towards the main deck cabin, looking unhurried!
The rest of the group did the same, turning around and preparing to leave the stern.
At this moment, there was a sudden melodious chirp like singing from the side of the yacht, very loud!
"Squeak——!squeak——!......"
Hearing the shout, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at the sea on the right side of the yacht, and everyone was a little surprised and curious in their eyes, and they were also very excited!
I saw that on the sea less than 100 meters from the starboard side of the yacht, a column of water suddenly rose into the sky, sprayed four or five meters high, and then scattered and fell back to the water.
In the next second, a black bulge appeared on the clear blue sea, like a hill, and the area of this bulge was small at first, but it quickly grew larger.
Immediately after, a giant beast in the sea jumped out of the sea, completely horizontal its huge body in the air, and displayed it in front of everyone's eyes!
It flew to a height of seven or eight meters, and when the upward momentum was completely exhausted, it smashed heavily into the sea.
This is a humpback whale, a well-deserved behemoth in the ocean!
Although this is only a juvenile humpback whale, it is still very large, and the scene that appears in front of everyone's eyes is very spectacular!
Ye Tian, who was on the yacht, was in no mood to enjoy this beautiful natural landscape, and at this time they preferred that this naughty juvenile humpback whale did not appear here.
"Guys, get ready, the waves are coming!"
Mattis reminded loudly over the intercom as he reached out and grabbed the ship's side railing.
Everyone reacted quickly, grabbing the railings or handles around them, ready to meet the impact of the waves.
In the blink of an eye, the surging waves have arrived, beginning to impact the luxury yacht parked at sea from the side.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared, the waves were not too fierce, and they didn't cause any damage, they just made everyone nervous.
After the crest of the wave passed, the sea slowly calmed down, the juvenile humpback whale had dived underwater, and the yacht gradually returned to its stability.
Everyone loosened their railings or handles and stood firm on the deck.
Immediately after, Orlando's excited voice came to everyone's ears.
"Wow! I didn't expect to meet humpback whales here, it's amazing!"
"Humpback whales come here every year to spend the winter and breed, and the Caribbean Sea is the nursery for humpback whales, and in the summer, they return to the northern seas to feed, and the cycle repeats!
It was a juvenile humpback whale just now, and its body has not yet grown up, and it cannot withstand too much pressure to dive into the deep sea, and can only move on the surface of the ocean.
If nothing else, there must be an adult female humpback whale in the depths of the ocean around here, which means that we will face an even more powerful wave storm later!"
Ye Tian quickly explained a few words, with a wry smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenny's voice came over the intercom.
"Everyone, pay attention, the female humpback whale came up from the deep sea and is swimming towards the sea, the size is very large, about 15 meters in length, and the weight is more than 20 tons!"
Hearing the news, a helpless smile appeared on everyone's face, a little bitter.
Just like just now, everyone immediately grabbed the railing or handle around them just in case!
"Guys, meet the waves again!"
