Chapter 200 A Large Piece of Obsidian

Xiao Peng didn't broadcast live for the next few days. Instead, he sailed along the ocean currents, slowly searching for the sunken ship. The twin sisters, however, broadcast live every day, but many people in their room were asking Xiao Peng why he didn't broadcast live.

Xiao Peng can't just say he's lazy, right? Just say he's working hard!

Many people wanted to see Xiao Peng working but were unable to do so.

How does Xiao Peng work so hard?

He plays games in the cabin every day, and Pascal is helpless about this: Is the Internet fee so expensive so that you can play games?

Xiao Peng considered asking Nightingale to help him search, but since he was on vacation, he decided to take his time. He would wait until Fabian had the results before considering a serious search for the ship.

But Pascal was very motivated. He wanted to find the S-80 for one simple reason: to find the sunken ship before his father did, so that his father's hard work would be in vain!

"Xiao, I have an interesting discovery!" Pascal pointed at the screen.

Xiao Peng tilted his head, glanced at it, and shook his head, saying, "Don't be alarmed. Those are reefs! Look at their distribution. Unless there's an aircraft carrier sunk underneath, how could such acoustic imaging be possible?"

"The shape of this reef is really strange, isn't it? Don't you think it's a bit too neat? Could it be a platform built by someone?" Pascal asked curiously.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment and stopped playing the game. "You're right. What's going on?"

"How should I know?" Pascal asked.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Stop the boat, lower the sail, I'll go down and take a look!"

"This is not a boat, why are you going down there?" Pascal asked in confusion.

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing!" Xiao Peng pulled out his Exosuit: "Let's kill some time!"

Pascal said, "That's right, it's better than you staying here playing games every day! I just opened the window to get some fresh air. Xiao, you're smoking more and more now!"

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "It's so boring on the sea! You don't play games with me."

"Go and bully others online!" Pascal shook his head. "I'm not Kashin, I don't have masochistic tendencies!"

Watching Xiao Peng carrying 'Iron Man' out of the cabin, Jenny asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"

Xiao Peng said, "Maybe there's something I've discovered. I'll be down for a while. You'd better not broadcast live. If you must, don't broadcast live on the screen inside the cabin!"

Jenny looked at Xiao Peng's expression and nodded seriously. Xiao Peng put on his diving suit with the help of Walter and the others. He checked the connection of the communication cable and nodded. Walter and Khedira moved Xiao Peng to the stern of the boat and he went directly into the sea.

"Xiao Pa, did you hear that? Did you hear that?" Xiao Peng was conducting a communication experiment.

Pascal said, "No problem. Check the diving suit thrusters. Left thruster!"

"normal!"

"Right thruster!"

"normal!"

"Robotic arm."

"normal!"

"Power remaining 77%, oxygen remaining 87%. Okay, we can go down!"

Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm ready, release the cable!"

"good!"

Xiao Peng free dived in a diving suit.

Many people think that the seabed is dark, but in fact it is not. Sunlight can penetrate the sea water, especially the sea water on the Mediterranean side is clearer, so even if you reach a depth of dozens of meters, you can still see white when you look up at the sea surface. The entire sea surface is like a white glass skylight, which is very beautiful.

However, as the water gets deeper, the light becomes dimmer and dimmer until it becomes pitch black.

Xiao Peng could naturally see clearly from here, but because the camera on the diving suit was connected to the upper part in real time, Xiao Peng still turned on the searchlight on the diving suit: "How long will it take to reach the bottom?"

"The sonar shows another twenty-three meters," said Pascal.

After hearing this, Xiao Peng activated the thrusters on his diving suit to control his descent speed.

He did this just to hide his ability. In fact, he could see the scene under the sea clearly.

"Xiao, what's down there? Some man-made structure?" Pascal asked.

Xiao Peng shook his head. "No, no, no, you guessed wrong. It's the silica seabed. I'll bring one back for you as a souvenir!"

Pascal was very disappointed: "Oh, I thought I could discover a lost ancient city like in Egypt!"

In 2000, French and Egyptian scientists discovered several ancient cities that had been submerged for thousands of years on the seabed outside Alexandria. They were all ruins from the Pharaoh era.

Fables, myths and epics from the ancient Greek period all mentioned that there was a very powerful urban cluster on the Mediterranean coast, namely the Pharaoh cities of Egypt. Although the names of these ancient cities have appeared many times, there has never been any evidence to prove that these Pharaoh cities really existed.

When scientists discovered these cities on the seabed, they were stunned. The construction of this urban cluster was completely ahead of the infrastructure level of the time, with a complete drainage system and living environment. This was unbelievable at the time.

Pascal was so excited because he thought he had discovered such an urban cluster, but when he heard it was silicon dioxide, he lost all interest.

Silica is a very common rock on the seafloor. It's found wherever there's an underwater volcano. It forms when the magma from the volcano suddenly cools upon contact with the ocean water. There are several different types of silica. The one in front of Xiao Peng is commonly known as "obsidian." Some also call it "natural glass."

This "obsidian" is a stone with a special status in the West. If you have watched "Game of Thrones", you must remember the "dragon crystal weapons" used to fight against demons, and the so-called "dragon crystal" is obsidian.

In Western tradition, obsidian has always been endowed with a "magical" color.

In the early Mediterranean period, obsidian was used to make agricultural tools because it had the characteristics of glass and its broken surface was very sharp and shell-like.

A prehistoric mural in the Mediterranean region clearly depicts such a scene: people at that time lived next to volcanoes, and the volcanoes provided people with obsidian mines.

At that time, volcanic eruptions were considered to be the will of God, and obsidian was a gift from God. Therefore, from that time on, obsidian was considered to have "magic" items.

Almost all prehistoric civilizations in the West have used obsidian as weapons and tools. After all, this thing is naturally sharp, which is a feature that other minerals do not have.

Obsidian is formed when magma solidifies when it cools.

The composition of magma is complex. Some contain high iron content, some contain high magnesium content, and some contain high gold and silver content. This is related to the volcanoes that erupted them. There is even obsidian with a rainbow luster.

Now that we're here, we can't go back empty-handed!

Xiao Peng picked up a piece of broken obsidian with his robotic arm and was about to go back when he turned around and a big black thing caught his attention!

"Xiao Pa, what do you think that is?"
