In 1997, a mysterious noise suddenly came from Nemo Point, which was 2688 kilometers away from the land, which made the scientists monitoring the place think that it was a sea monster attacking, because the creature that could make this sound was equivalent to two adult blue whales 50 meters long.
A mysterious sound about Nemo Point
Nemo Point is known as the loneliest pole on earth, not only is it inaccessible, but even marine animals are difficult to survive, full of mystery, so since the mysterious sound appeared here, it has attracted the attention of countless scientists.
And the scientists are very excited, and some even think that this mysterious sound is made by a huge sea monster, but it was immediately refuted by opponents, thinking that this idea is extremely absurd, so the two factions argue endlessly, so in order to solve the truth, but also to explore the truth, many scientists can only organize a group to go to Nemo Point for field investigation.
The investigation lasted a long time, and the scientists exhausted all the advanced detection equipment and found that it was not suitable for living creatures, let alone sea monsters larger than blue whales. Later, they targeted ocean-going ships, believing that only a giant steel ship built by humans could make such a strong sound.
But after several rounds of screening, it was found that there were no ships sailing near Nemo Point that day. After that, scientists put forward many hypotheses, but after several days of investigation, they still failed to find any clues, and they still had no clue about the source of the mysterious sound, and finally scientists could only leave here without finding anything after the materials were exhausted.
Until 21 years later, a sudden marine earthquake helped scientists unveil this loud noise, so how did this mysterious sound come about? Please be patient and I will reveal the answer at the end of the article.
What a place Nemo Dot is
As the most intelligent creature on the earth, human beings have almost completely detected the continent, but in the face of the mysterious sea, human beings can only look at the ocean and sigh, because for thousands of years, the ocean area detected by humans is less than 10% of it.
Until 30 years ago, when the oceanographer Hervoye was bored, he designed a very advanced geospatial program by building a computer model, and successfully marked the latitude and longitude of Nemo point by using the three-point equidistance method, which made people know the place of Nemo point for the first time.
Later, according to the particularity of Nemo point, people drew a pure marine area around Nemo point without any land inclusion, the entire area is 2.5 times the size of Europe, of which there are three islands closest to Nemo point, namely Dixie, Motunui and Mahe Island, the distance is 2688 kilometers, so people call Nemo point "the most difficult polar region in the ocean".
So, what is so terrible about Nemo's point?
In fact, Nemo Point is not terrible, it is just mysterious and lonely, because its distance from humans is too far, so people have a strong sense of distance, and the entire area is only seawater, more desert than desert, is the last place on the earth that humans want to go.
1. Humans have never lived in Nemo Point
Located in the South Pacific, Nemo Point is the loneliest place in the world, where people are inaccessible, there are no animal footprints, and Nemo Point is not only extremely far from the land, even more desolate than the desert on land, there is a natural sense of rejection for humans.
Therefore, according to Verne's novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", people named this place Nemo, which means a place where no one lives, which summarizes the characteristics of Nemo Point, after all, no one wants to go to such a lonely place.
In contrast, the farthest place from the ocean is Urumqi, China, but it is a very prosperous place, with a population of about 4.05 million, and the economy is developed and the scenery is pleasant, which is known as the capital of Yaxin and is the most prosperous place in the whole of Central Asia.
Nemo Point, on the other hand, is desolate only accompanied by reefs in the deep sea, and most importantly, Nemo Point is too far from land, and even planes rarely pass through here, so once an accident occurs here, there is no time for effective rescue, so it is also known as "the place forgotten by mankind".
2. Nemo Point is a forbidden area for life in the ocean
As a marine area without any pollution, the water body of Nemo Point is very good, and normally there should be a large number of marine life here, but on the contrary, the biodiversity here is extremely poor, marine animals are extremely rare, and even the vitality of microorganisms is one-third less than other seas, which is obviously contrary to the principle of biological evolution, what is the reason for this?
According to oceanographers, the geographical location of Nemo Point is too remote, and just avoids the ocean circulation in the South Pacific Ocean, the sea water fluidity is extremely poor, resulting in insufficient nutrients, and it is too far from the mainland, and the organic matter washed into the sea on land cannot reach here, making marine microorganisms extremely rare.
In addition, the glacial meltwater rich in a large amount of organic matter in the north and south poles cannot flow here, resulting in an extreme lack of organic matter here, unable to nourish marine life, and even deep-sea ecosystems cannot be established.
3. Nemo Point is known as the graveyard of the spaceship
In fact, many people do not know that Nemo Point also has a nickname, called the World Spacecraft Cemetery, because after the discovery of Nemo Point, more than 300 spacecraft have chosen to land here, and with the passage of time, the scrapped spacecraft will only increase, of course, from a certain point of view, this also puts a mysterious veil on Nemo Point.
If the spacecraft wants to fly into the universe, it needs to be equipped with very strong propulsion devices, but after entering the orbit, these devices will fall back to the ground, although these devices will have a violent friction with the atmosphere in the process of falling, but there will still be residues falling, and if they are not careful, they will cause losses of people, money and things.
The emergence of Nemo Point just solved the problem of where the propulsion device fell, because there was not only no one here, but also the ecological environment was extremely closed, not even animals, so it became a famous "spacecraft garbage can". It is said that the first inhabitable space research center of mankind landed here, and the glorious deeds it represents will be permanently buried in this desolate sea.
4. Nemo point earthquakes are frequent
Nemo Point is located in a fault zone of two continental tectonic plates, so marine earthquakes and even submarine volcanic eruptions here are possible. According to marine experts, Nemo Point is located in the mid-ocean ridge, which is the expansion of the seabed, so it is very easy to suddenly break the underground rock, which triggers violent crustal movement and causes large tremors.
Normally, the destructive power of submarine earthquakes is very frightening, because seafloor earthquakes will not only cause powerful tsunamis, but also cause many harmful gases to emerge from the ground, causing fatal damage to fish. Fortunately, Nemo Point is too far from where humans live, and there is no marine life nearby, so the disaster caused is very limited.
In addition, the distribution of volcanoes on the seabed of Nemo Point is also quite extensive, but most of them are extinct volcanoes, but there are also some dormant volcanoes, but these volcanoes are located deep in the seabed, and there are few submarine volcanoes that can exceed 5 kilometers, so they will not cause too much harm, and there are many microorganisms on the seabed of Nemo Point that rely on volcanic chemicals for survival, in a sense, and maintain the biodiversity here.
Conquer the people of Donimo Point
In fact, in the eyes of explorers, the most difficult to reach on land is the summit of Mount Everest, and the most difficult to reach by the ocean is Nemo Point, but to be honest, with the current level of human technology, although it is not enough to conquer the sea, it is still easy to conquer a Nemo point.
For example, the British explorers Turner Brothers, who are famous for conquering the poles of the world, they also have a famous saying: life without adventure and excitement will make life lose its sunshine and happiness, which shows how much they like challenges.
The starting point chosen by the Turner brothers was The Island of Disi, a small island inhabited by no one, and it was the most difficult route to Nemo Point, and most importantly, the way they chose to advance was an extremely dangerous high-altitude powered umbrella, but it also meant that the Turner brothers were still very confident in this expedition.
It is said that after takeoff, the Turner brothers took a full 60 hours to successfully reach the sky above Nemo Point, during which they not only had to be technically proficient, but also had strong willpower and calm danger handling ability, of course, this can also make them really feel the limits of human beings, but also make the unmanned point in the ocean instantly angry.
Finally, what happened to the mysterious sound of Nemo Point?
In 2008, 21 years after the mysterious sound of Nemo Point, marine experts once again used sonar to detect a sound very similar to the one at the time, which is said to be louder than the last time, but this time scientists did not blindly believe that it was a sea monster.
Because there was an earthquake near Nemo Point at that time, they thought that the mysterious sound was a sound of rock breaking, but this judgment was quickly rejected, so the scientists once again formed a research team and did enough research on the earthquake.
The study found that although the sound is not directly caused by the earthquake, the scope of the earthquake is extremely wide, which led to the ice shock formed by the rupture of the antarctic iceberg, and caused a strong sound, but this statement is not agreed by all people, but with the development of science and technology, I believe that the mystery of Nemo Point in the near future is destined to be completely unveiled.
in a word:
In fact, Nemo Point is not the most terrible place in the world, it is just a little lonely and mysterious, although it is more deserted than the desert, and it is not suitable for animals to survive, and there have been two mysterious sounds, but these things can be explained by science, and everything has its own development law, can not blindly look at the problem.
