70% of the earth is covered by seawater, and there are countless secrets in the ocean waiting to be explored by humans. In addition to this, there are many terrible creatures in the ocean that are not known. Near the loneliest island in the world, there are many strange sounds, which is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean and claims to be the furthest island from the land, "Nemo Point". Why does this island make a sound when there is no sign of life at all, and will it be a terrible unknown sea monster?
A fantasy adventure that unlocks the life of a forgotten island
If you want to describe a person as lonely, you can say that he is from Nemo Point. Nemo Point is a forgotten corner of the Pacific Ocean because it is the furthest island in the world from the mainland. There is no sign of life on the island, so no one has ever visited this place for thousands of years.
One morning, on the island of Dissi, the closest island to Nemo Point, a pair of twin brothers were planning to fly to Nemo Point via a high-altitude powered umbrella. They are the famous "British Adventure Twins", the world-famous Explorer Turner Brothers, who once joined forces to conquer many inaccessible corners of the world. This time, they targeted the lonely Nemo point, determined to unveil the mystery of the Nemo point.
In order to increase the difficulty of the expedition, the Turner brothers chose a high-altitude powered parachute with a high risk factor for flight. During this long journey, in addition to superb driving skills, you also need to have strong willpower. This was also a big challenge for the battle-hardened Turner brothers, and finally after more than 60 hours of flight, the Turner brothers finally arrived at the legendary Nemo Point.
Long before the Turner brothers, the island of Nemo Point was discovered and named after Captain Nemo, a character in the novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. After the Turner brothers clocked in, more and more people began to follow their steps to this explorer "net red point", and Nemo point was also known to the world.
Nemo Point is so mysterious because it is so far away from the land where humans live. It is located in a sea area of the South Pacific Ocean, and its closest islands are Motunui, Mahe and Disi, where the Turner brothers took off. But the nearest Island of Dissi is also more than 2680 kilometers away from Nemo Point, and it is only 2100 kilometers from Beijing to Shenzhen, which can be imagined how "isolated" this island is. The Turner brothers' flight is equivalent to almost spanning most of China.
Around Nemo Point, there was only a vast ocean, without any land. Therefore, such a unique place has attracted widespread attention from scientists once it was discovered.
A terrible cry in the desert of the ocean
For Nemo Point, which is so far from the land, it is estimated that many people who claim to be socially phobias now will not be willing to live on such an isolated island. Because there is not only no one here, there is not even anything alive, if you live here, it is estimated that you can only be accompanied by bacteria.
The Pacific Ocean, where Nemo Point is located, is the largest ocean in the world. As we all know, the ocean is the hotbed of the origin of all life, and the ancestors of mankind evolved from the ocean. So why is Nemo Point located in the depths of the ocean that gives birth to countless lives, but there is no trace of life? Even in the inaccessible Sahara Desert, there are many creatures such as poisonous snakes and lizards.
Nemo Point is uniquely located in the center of the South Pacific Circulation, and various ocean currents come to Nemo Point to cancel each other out, so many waters with nutrients cannot come here. Without nutrients, there is naturally no kind of marine life near Nemo Point, and even bacteria will only exist at the bottom of the ocean. Therefore, Nemo Point cannot form a normal natural ecosystem, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "a pool of stagnant water".
Such a worthless island, people are naturally reluctant to come to develop. Coupled with the long distance, many routes will not pass through. Although humans can reach Nemo Point by sailing, if there is no sufficient supply, the return voyage of the ship will encounter great trouble. Therefore, in this place where even living things do not exist, humans are even more avoidant. Over time, Nemo Point became a forgotten corner of the world. Therefore, Nemo Point is also called "the loneliest place in the world", and academically it is also called "the ocean is difficult to reach".
However, it was such a desert island with no grass, and there was actually a strange noise! In the summer of 1997, in the Ocean Lab established in the Pacific Ocean in the United States, researchers listened to the state of life in the ocean with an instrument dedicated to studying the habits of marine mammals and detecting the dynamics of the ocean, as usual. To the surprise of all the researchers present, they unexpectedly detected an ultra-low frequency, high-amplitude eerie sound in and around Nemo Point.
Because the inaccessible Nemo point has never had a sound, so the researchers are very confused about it, so the scientists named the strange sound they heard "Bloop", which translates to the meaning of the strange sound of the ocean.
The news has been announced, and countless researchers have speculated about the source of the strange sound, and the more commonly agreed claim is that there is a sea monster hidden in the sea near Nemo Point. The sound is made by this mysterious sea monster, and the size of the sea monster is very large, because the place where the sound is emitted at Nemo point is relatively far away from the hydrophone, and according to the calculation of the speed and distance of the sound, scientists believe that the body length of this sea monster is at least 76 meters or more.
Since Nemo Point is so far from the land, it is very difficult to conduct surveys and studies in the past, so many people have begun to come up with different ideas. Some believe that there are countries that have conducted some unknown biological experiments in the local area, others think that they are prehistoric behemoths that have survived in ancient times, and some people think that there may be a secret base of aliens near Nemo Point. For a while, all kinds of strange ideas appeared in front of people, and it was precisely because of these conjectures that the already mysterious Nemo point was once again overshadowed.
But soon, scientists gave the official answer, and all the rumors were self-defeating.
The truth about the mysterious Nemo point
When it comes to the mysterious monsters in the ocean, it's easy to think of the octopus sea monster from the legendary Cthulhu. But this is only a legend after all, only existing in people's imagination.
In 2005, through the comparison of sounds, experts confirmed that the mysterious strange sound that appeared at Nemo Point was not made by some prehistoric monster, but the sound of glaciers breaking. In 2012, another scientist confirmed the scientist's claim in 2005 by collecting a series of glacier rupture sounds collected in Antarctica and then comparing them with the mysterious strange sounds received at Nemo Point. The so-called cry of the mysterious sea monster is indeed the sound caused by the ice explosion.
The discussion of the mysterious cry of Nemo Point has come to an end, but people always have a strong curiosity about hunting things, and although the mystery is solved, there are many rumors about the presence of sea monsters near Nemo Point. After all, there are still many unsolved mysteries in this place for people.
Some strange creatures have also been born on this mysterious island, and Nemo Point is not completely devoid of any creatures. For example, a crab with snow white and fine fluff all over its body is a creature unique to Nemo Point. It is different from ordinary crabs, and it seems to be wearing a thick fur all over the body.
Since there are no other creatures on the island, they have no eyes and do not have to hide from other prey. Although it has no predators, it also possesses a terrifying weapon, a pair of large pliers that keep it from falling behind in battles with creatures of the same type. And this crab lives in the hot springs of the deep sea all year round, and even the poisonous gases produced by volcanic eruptions have no effect on it. It's the strange yeti crab.
Of course, the existence of anything has its value. Nemo Point is no exception, when everyone thinks that the closest point to Nemo Point is 2680 kilometers away on land. In fact, there is a closer place, that is, the space station 400 kilometers away. Because spacecraft have to return to the ship every once in a while, choosing the location to return has become a headache for many scientists.
Because when returning home, the spacecraft will produce a strong high temperature, if it is in a forest area, it will cause a large-scale fire, and it will affect the normal life of human beings on the general land.
So scientists set their sights on the lone drifter at sea, because Nemo Point is inaccessible and there are no boats nearby. Landing at Nemo Point will not affect the surrounding environment, and the ocean here is relatively closed and does not circulate, and the radiation brought by the spacecraft will not spread everywhere. Therefore, Nemo Point has become the first choice for spacecraft landing in various countries. According to statistics, since 1971, Nemo Point has more than 263 pieces of space debris, so Nemo Point has also received the title of "spacecraft junkyard".
There are many mysterious areas on Earth that remain to be explored, and there may not necessarily be so-called terrible monsters, but they may also be able to exert their own unique value like Nemo Point.
