In the depths of the vast sea, there are many diverse and strange creatures, such as colorful sea fish, beautiful corals, docile and cute dolphins and fierce man-eating sharks, these different groups of personalities come together to show us the vastness and tolerance of the sea.
However, in the deeper seabed, there are still many situations that humans have never set foot in, they are full of unknowns, but with the development of science and technology, humans can use tools such as instruments and boats to go farther.
On this day in August 1964, the American scientific research vessel "Altanin" was carrying out the expedition planning work in the Antarctic region as usual.
The crew expertly piloted the research vessel to about 7,400 kilometers west of Cape Horn in Chile and began to anchor and anchor, and their job was to dive a deep-water camera to a depth of 4,500 meters to the bottom of the sea for underwater photography.
There were no special anomalies during filming, but when technicians were imaging the film taken that day, something strange was found on one of the films.
The technicians then enlarged the film and washed it into a photo, and the staff was immediately stunned after getting the photo, because on the photo, they could clearly see an underwater "building" with a needle-shaped top, which looked a bit like the Eiffel Tower of Paris.
And what is even more strange is that the middle of this "tower" has 4 rows of extended mandrels, with a precise 90-degree angle between the mandrel and the "iron harness", and a small white ball at the end of each mandrel. Taken together, the image looks a lot like a tower-type transmitter antenna.
In the 1990s, although some European countries could operate in the deep sea, it was really a bit confusing to run to the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean to build such a thing. The technician was puzzled to think about it, but he did not dare to delay, and immediately reported the matter to his superiors.
The captain of the "Altanin" knew about this and immediately invited the marine biologist "Thomas Thomas", who was accompanying the ship. Hopkins" conducted the study. However, the biologist is really not an expert in the construction industry, and after looking left and right, he just shook his head, so that when the American reporter interviewed him later, he only said a sentence that seemed to be incomprehensible: "I don't want to say that this undersea tower is artificially built, otherwise it will create an unanswerable question, who built it for what purpose?" ”
In December 1964, the research vessel "Altanin" completed its expedition and returned to Auckland Harbor with the questionable photograph of the seabed. As soon as the crew landed, they immediately made public the "undersea iron ride".
For a time, people began to talk fiercely about this mysterious iron harness.
The US authorities also attached great importance to this matter, and after they got the photo, they immediately sent it to, an aerospace expert engaged in the study of the lunar remote control command, and asked him to analyze and study it.
Honey was also surprised to see the photo, although he was not sure who built the iron frame, but from the structure of the tower, it can be inferred that the iron frame can be used as a sensor and information transponder for measurement data. With this instrument, data collected near the South Pacific can be transmitted to another location. But Honey then raised another question, at that time, the South Taiping seabed to collect data seemed to be difficult for the countries at that time?
