Chapter 264 Preparations before diving
Xiao Peng sat in the 'offline room' of 'Mediterranean Support No. 2' with a depressed look on his face.
At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was already in chaos.
"Shit, it's gone again!"
“Are you livestreaming a wall?”
"My husband went out to smoke!"
"Look, the smoke is coming."
"What's taking so long?"
Xiao Peng coughed twice and said, "I was smoking. I realized I did something stupid today. Now I can't broadcast anything live."
"Why?"
Xiao Peng put out his cigarette and appeared on the screen: "I promised you that I would take the 'Deep Sea Warrior' for a deep dive, but it seems that I can't do it because I can't broadcast live from the bottom of the sea. So today I will command this deep dive from the 'offline room' and I will go down tomorrow!"
"Oh...the host is scared!"
"Should we let others explore the way first?"
"Even if you let others go online, you should broadcast it live. They shouldn't just broadcast a wall to us, right?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "The Deep Sea Warrior has already gone into the sea. Let me show you the monitor. It's floating in the sea now!"
"Why don't you dive?"
"Didn't you just go into the sea?"
Xiao Peng explained, "These submersibles can't just be dropped into the sea and launched directly. To ensure safety, they're now undergoing a series of safety checks. This includes checking the interior of the submersible chamber, such as the hydraulics and propellers, as well as the status of the acoustic equipment. They also need to establish underwater acoustic communication with the mother ship. They can only dive if everything is normal! Deep diving is extremely dangerous, and you absolutely can't dive with a problem. This inspection process takes over an hour, and most importantly, it involves a lot of confidential information, so I can't broadcast it live. We can only wait here in silence. Or should I turn off the live broadcast for a while?"
The comments went crazy again: "We've waited so long, and now you finally start broadcasting, don't stop!"
“Why can’t you go live on the seabed?”
Xiao Peng saw this comment and said, "Someone asked me why I didn't livestream from the seabed. That's a good question. I can only say that it's not impossible with current technology, but it's too difficult... and the results aren't very good. Anyway, I have nothing else to do right now, so I'll explain this to you. You all know how these electronic devices we use communicate, right?"
"Electromagnetic waves!"
"The above answer is correct!"
"Correct answer +1!"
"+10086!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is quite knowledgeable. You should know that seawater is conductive. If electromagnetic waves propagate in the ocean, they will completely dissipate before they reach a hundred meters. Therefore, submarine communications cannot rely on electromagnetic waves but on sound waves. After all, the speed of sound in air is about three hundred meters per second, while in water it can reach up to one thousand five hundred meters per second. Traditional underwater acoustic communications are all based on the traditional 2G communication mode, which means they can only transmit digital language."
"However, our country's underwater acoustic communication equipment is very advanced. It uses a 3G communication model, which means it can transmit not only sound but also images and data. To put it simply, traditional underwater acoustic communication equipment is like a 'phone,' but the new high-speed digital underwater acoustic communication technology we are using has transformed that 'phone' into 'WeChat.' Previously, to maintain contact with a submersible, the mother ship would have to tow a communication antenna thousands of meters long. Now, all it takes is a two-meter-long shipboard aquatic communication device installed on the mother ship. With this device, people on board can hear what's going on in the cockpit, see video, and transfer files."
"But this equipment also has problems. It has difficulty functioning properly until the submersible reaches a depth of one thousand meters. Why is this so? To coordinate with the submersible, the mother ship uses a dynamic positioning system, so the noise from the propellers and engines masks the communication sound waves. At this distance, communicating is like chatting with someone in a steel mill: you can shout at the top of your lungs and no one can hear you. Only when diving below a thousand meters can the admissions system function normally."
"In a moment, an ROV and the 'Deep Sea Warrior' will be launched simultaneously. The ROV is cable-operated, so the video footage will be sent back without delay. I'll live stream the search for the shipwreck in the 'offline room' for you. You'll witness the discovery of a shipwreck with your own eyes. Of course, let me be frank: even though we've already found traces of the shipwreck, this process may take several days. After all, ROVs and HOVs can't move as quickly on the seabed as they do on land."
He had just finished saying 'offline room' when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Xiao Peng said.
Walter came in with Biagio.
This time, Biagio still followed him on board, and Walter followed him wherever he went. He was so honest.
"Boss, Zhou asked me to tell you that the HOV inspection has been completed. We can dive at any time. Moreau is already screaming in anxiety." Walter said.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said to Biagio, "Biagio, please sit down."
Biagio nodded and sat aside obediently.
The live broadcast room was instantly filled with comments:
"Live, who is this handsome boy?"
“So handsome!”
"Please introduce me!"
"You women can't close your legs when you see foreigners"
"We do! Foreigners are just handsome! Look at their high noses and big eyes!"
"Then go to Goryeo for plastic surgery!"
"It's not like I haven't been there before. I even went there a few days ago to get hyaluronic acid injected. What's wrong with me making myself beautiful? Korea's plastic surgery technology is really good."
Xiao Peng coughed dryly at this. "Um, my friend who went to Korea to get hyaluronic acid injections, I have something to tell you. I returned to China a few days ago, didn't I? Some friends returned to Huaxia with me. They started working as international traders, and among the things they brought back was a lot of hyaluronic acid. Do you know why they went to Huaxia to buy hyaluronic acid? 95% of the hyaluronic acid on the planet is produced in China! You went to Korea to get Chinese hyaluronic acid injections? Then I can only say that you are rich and willful."
"Oh, I'm trying to make myself beautiful so that I can be worthy of you."
Xiao Peng waved his hand directly: "Sorry, I'm not interested in plastic surgery...Okay, back to the topic."
As he spoke, he turned on all the monitors. Xiao Peng had over twenty monitors on one wall. He adjusted the camera position and picked up the intercom. "Xiao Zhou, how's the ROV?"
"Ready."
"Have all the tests on the 'Deep Sea Warrior' been completed?"
"Test completed, everything is normal!"
"Attention all departments! 'Deep Sea Warrior' is filling up and diving. Xiao Zhou, operate the ROV to maintain a safe distance and ensure the safety of the HOV!"
"yes!"
