Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 250 250. Marine scientific research

The main reason for this game mission is a series of marine environmental problems that have occurred recently.

What is different from the past is that this time the scope of the game is wider.

……

On the boundless blue and calm sea, a marine scientific research vessel named Jiaolong is sailing with a red star logo on its hull.

Marine scientific research refers to the fishery survey, marine hydrological survey, marine geological resource survey, marine climate survey, etc. of a certain marine area.

In addition to the necessary professional captain, crew and other technical personnel, as well as a few important scientific researchers, the rest on the ship are all gamers.

At this time, it was sunny and windy, and everyone was basically active on the deck.

The purpose of this scientific expedition, or the main mission of the game, is to investigate the impact of the "Yingdao country's wastewater discharge into the sea" incident, which has been an international hot topic, caused a sensation, and caused a lot of public opinion, on the marine environment and marine life.

As for the side missions, this time it’s a random trigger mode.

"The sea is very rough, don't stand for too long." Song Yuanze put his coat on Tang Qinqin's shoulders and gently touched her head.

The endless deep blue sea sparkles in the sun, dotted with charming diamonds.

Tang Qinqin Congshan Ruliu tightened his coat.

"Aze, before triggering the game, I tried to contact the source of life, but it didn't respond. I have always felt a little uneasy."

"Don't panic. I think if it didn't receive your signal, it might be related to our game mission this time. We'll see what the situation is before we make a decision."

Song Yuanze comforted.

"Yes, this game mission has trigger conditions, maybe it is really related to it..."

"Wow! Qinqin, come here and take a look! It's a whale!!"

Lan Lan on the other side of the deck suddenly shouted excitedly.

Before Tang Qinqin could react and run over, she saw a huge black shadow setting off waves rising into the sky, and cool, salty seawater droplets covered her head and face.

That is a very spectacular and beautiful whale tail.

It is an existence that only feels awe at a glance, and feels small.

I don't know when the backs of whales like small islands appeared on the sea, shining in the sun, and pillars of air rose high like fountains.

The shocking cry of the whale echoed in everyone's ears.

This is a triple feast for the eyes, ears and soul.

No one spoke at this time, they were all immersed in the stunning and heart-warming scenes of nature.

"Actually, we are very lucky to encounter a group of whales at sea. Whaling ships from some nearby coastal countries operate all year round, hunting and killing whales. Coupled with the overall deterioration of the global climate and marine environment, the number of whale populations in the ocean has been declining. It’s decreasing.” An old crew member lamented.

Human greed has no end. For almost all animals and plants, humans are more terrifying than their natural enemies.

At least in the natural biosphere, animals abide by the rules of the food chain and will not "kill all" their prey. However, there are countless animals and plants that have become extinct due to humans in history.

"In fact, the increase in ships on the sea is also the main reason for the sharp decline in the number of many marine life. The propellers on the ships, the buzz and pollutants generated by the ship navigation are the number one killers of marine life. Our ship is equipped with the most advanced The imitation sonar device can ensure the safety of marine life near the route as much as possible."

"Uncle Li, how does our scientific research ship collect data? Do we need to go to sea?"

A male player raised his voice and asked.

"Oh, going into the sea?" The old crew member who spoke stared, and his whole body became visibly serious: "Why, do you think the sea is your swimming pool or your back garden? This idea of ​​yours is very dangerous!"

Another old crew member came over and touched the dark-faced Old Li with a smile: "Okay, young people are not fearless and ignorant. Just explain it to them. Don't scare them again with a shy face."

"Are I scaring them? Aren't I worried that they will be stupid? If the sea is as calm as it seems, if they really go into the sea, the dangers hidden under the sea will make them disappear from the world in a matter of minutes. !”

Uncle Li obviously regarded this as an incident that needed to be dealt with seriously, and gathered the players together to give them a warning and a lesson.

"Remember what you are here for, right? You are not here to play or swim. This is the deep sea, and there are too many unknown dangers. I hope everyone will keep safety in mind and do their own thing well. .”

"I know that you are all people with special status and are backed by the country, but when you get on this ship, if you don't say anything else, you must listen to us in terms of safety. As long as you do what we say, the rest of the safety guarantee will be handed over to you. Give it to us. Once we find that someone 'knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel to the tiger mountains', it will be embarrassing. The next place to anchor is the end of your voyage. Do you understand?"

The players all said in unison: "I understand!"

Although most players have participated in previous marine garbage disposal tasks and have gone into the sea, no one is willing to make fun of their own lives.

Uncle Li softened his expression when he saw everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

Why did he react so strongly to going into the sea?

That starts from the year he first joined the scientific expedition team.

At that time, he and his classmates were young and vigorous. When they were just starting out, they always had the energy in their hearts that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" and they were almost fearless.

At that time, they were sailing near the equator. The weather was hot, they were sweating, and they were irritable.

At this time, the sky was clear and the sea was blue. The newlyweds couldn't help but think about the sea.

The sun was so hot that I was covered in stinking sweat and felt very stuffy.

Wouldn't it be nice to swim in the sea?
At that moment, some people did what they said, and jumped into the sea with a plop.

Someone jumped into the sea, alerting other crew members, and the remaining few who were bold enough to follow suit were stopped in time.

The crew quickly reported the situation to their superiors.

However, when the ship turned around and prepared to pick up this "hero who jumped into the sea", he disappeared from the sea without a trace in full view of everyone.

Later, I contacted the local person in charge to help with the search, but there was no news.

This incident deeply touched him. A person just disappeared without a trace in front of him...

There are often unknown dangers hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface.

……

The scientific research ship mainly sends underwater detectors to work and collect various required data information.

Now that they agreed not to go into the sea, the players exchanged their points for various detection instruments to enter the deep sea for "adventure" instead of themselves.
