A strange thing happened from 65438 to 0866. A monster was found in the ocean, like a flying reef, and many ships cracked inexplicably. The public insists that monsters with heads should be removed from the ocean. ?
2. Chapter II: Both sides.
There are two schools of thought about monsters. One group thinks it is a monster with infinite power, and the other group thinks it is a powerful "underwater ship".
I (Arona Cox, a professor at the Paris Museum of Natural History) think that monsters are a kind of "narwhal" with amazing power. The US Navy Department organized a fast destroyer named "abraham lincoln" to get rid of the "monster". Invited me to go with you.
Chapter 3: Suit yourself.
My servant Conseil said without thinking, "Suit yourself." With me on a destroyer with farragut as the captain. The destroyer set sail from Brooklyn pier and headed for the Atlantic Ocean at full speed.
Chapter 4: Ned Rand
The captain and all the sailors are like an enemy, determined to catch the narwhal. Only the Canadian whaler Nederland doubts the existence of narwhals.
Chapter 5: Welcome to Adventure.
The ship is cruising in the Pacific Ocean. Everyone's eyes are wide open and they are trying to observe the sea. After three months, the sailors began to lose confidence and began to doubt the meaning of their search.
Six months later, the sailors asked to return. The captain finally promised to look for three days, and if there was no result, he would go back in three days. At the last moment of the deadline, Nederland, who has always been indifferent, suddenly burst into tears and found the monster.
6. Chapter 6: Ned Land's Anger
The submarine surfaced for fresh air. Ned Land was very angry that the three men were still locked in the iron house. He tried to escape and catch the boat. A waiter came in and knocked him down and strangled him. At this moment, a French-speaking man appeared.
7. Chapter VII: Ocean Man
French is spoken by Captain Nemo (meaning "non-existent person") on the submarine Nautilus. He said that when we first met, he kept silent to get to know us. In fact, he knows all four languages. Captain Nemo was dissatisfied with the pursuit and shelling of the submarine by the Lincoln. He promised us that we were free on the ship, but on one condition, we would be locked up for a period of time in case of some unexpected circumstances.
From now on, we will cut off contact with human beings. Or it will kill us. We reluctantly agreed. Captain Nemo took us to dinner. The food came entirely from the ocean.
Meat is tenderloin of soft-shelled turtle, cream is made of milk from whale breast, sugar is extracted from big seaweed, clothes are woven from shells and feet, perfume is distilled from marine plants, bed is made of big seaweed, pen is whale tentacles, and ink is squid secretion. He loves the ocean, where there is no struggle, no killing and no dictatorship.
Chapter 8: Nautilus
Captain Nemo showed us around the Nautilus Library, which contained 12000 books. There were no books on political economy in the library, so he gave me cigars made of seaweed.
He showed me the living room, which is actually a museum with famous paintings, music scores of famous musicians, plants, shells and seafood, as well as priceless pearls. He also showed me the elegant room he prepared for me and the humble room he lived in.
9. Chapter 9: Everything uses electricity.
Captain Nemo introduced us to the use of various instruments in the room. Everything on the submarine depends on electricity, and the raw material for generating electricity is sodium in seawater. Captain Nemo also told me how to mine seabed minerals and provide air, and introduced the use of a small boat. He also showed me around the kitchen.
10, Chapter 10: Several Groups of Numbers
Captain Nemo introduced me to the submarine's general situation, structure, power, lighting and construction process. The hull consists of a double hull, an inner layer and an outer layer, which are connected by T-shoes. The hull is extremely hard. There are no cables that can be destroyed by the hull swaying from side to side, no sails blown away by the wind, and no boilers broken by steam.
There will be no fire, no terrible collision, no storm. Every part of Nautilus came from a different part of the earth. Finally, a processing factory was established on an isolated island in the ocean, with a total cost of 2 million francs, plus four or five million francs of works of art and collections.
1 1, chapter 11: Kuroshio
The underwater adventure tour officially began. The submarine crossed the black current at a depth of 50 meters below the sea surface. My two companions and I like to watch beautiful, lively and lovely fish through crystal glass.
12, Chapter XII: Invitation Letter
Captain Nemo gave me an invitation to go hunting in the undersea forest of Crispo. Nemo told me that we would dive into the bottom of the sea with diving equipment, and use lankov lamps for lighting. The bullets were small glass balls.
13 chapter 13: undersea forest
We came to the undersea forest in Crispo. Observing underwater creatures carefully, we are amazed at the underwater world. I slept at the bottom of the sea for several hours. When I came to the bottom cliff of Crispo Island, I met a giant sea spider, bumped into an otter and killed an albatross. Escaped the attack of the horn shark.
14, Chapter 14: Four kilometers under the Pacific Ocean.
The submarine passed under the Pacific Ocean, and we pulled many novel fish species, which was an eye-opener. Captain Nemo said that there is circulation at the bottom of the sea, which creates infinite vitality. One day, I saw a sunken ship, and the tragic situation of the sunken ship was shocking. This ship is called the Florida.
15, Chapter 15: Vanikoro Islands
Captain Nemo and I talked about microbial secretions forming islands. Captain Nemo revealed the truth of the disappearance of two French expedition ships at the end of the 18th century from the ocean monument in Vanikoro Islands.
Chapter 16: Torres Strait
The submarine ran aground on its way to the Indian Ocean via the Torres Strait, the most dangerous strait on earth. I'm at a loss. Captain Nemo has a well-thought-out plan. He said that five days later, on the day of the full moon, the high tide of the sea will lift the Nautilus.
17, Chapter 17: Days on Land
With the captain's permission, my two companions and I took a small boat to Gepoloal Island. We drink coconut juice and eat bread trees, bananas, pineapples and mangoes. We returned to the nautilus with a lot of harvest.
The next day, we went to the island again, and Conseil caught a bird of paradise (also called sunbird) intoxicated by nutmeg juice. We killed another wild boar and some kangaroos, and eating barbecue made us very happy.
18, Chapter 18: Captain Nemo's Lightning
The indigenous Papuans found us, chased us to the beach, and then surrounded the Nautilus in canoes in an attempt to attack us. Captain Nemo has always been calm and collected. During this period, an indigenous man broke the rare left-handed shellfish we found with a stone, which made Conseil very angry.
Captain Nemo connected the electricity to the iron handrail of the hull, and the natives were scared out of their wits and retreated. The nautilus was lifted by the rising tide and left the coral bed, just as the captain expected.
Chapter 19: forced sleep
The submarine is sailing in the Indian Ocean. Captain Nemo measured the seawater temperature at different depths and found that the seawater below 1000 meters was constant temperature. We witnessed an interesting scene: the phosphorescence flickered on the sea surface, which made the sea surface look like daytime, which was originally caused by the luminescence of some small jellyfish balls.
One day, Captain Nemo watched from a distance, angry, uneasy and worried, and suddenly ordered us to be locked up, put sleeping pills in our food and forced us to sleep.
20. Chapter 20: Coral Kingdom
The next day, Captain Nemo asked me to treat one of his injured crew members. The crew's skull is completely broken and they won't live for two hours. The captain took us to the colorful coral kingdom and buried the sailor who died of injury in a coral cemetery in order to get rid of the harm of sharks and humans.
2 1, Chapter XXI: Indian Ocean
The touching scene of coral cemetery left a deep impression on me. It turned out that Captain Nemo had prepared a cemetery for himself at the bottom of the sea. Nautilus sailed through the Indian Ocean, and we saw Keeling Island, a boat slug, countless bodies floating in the Bay of Bengal, and an endless sea of milk. It is white because there are thousands of tiny glowing ciliates in the water.
Chapter 22: Captain Nemo's New Proposal
The captain introduced us to the original pearl picking method and the miserable life of pearl pickers. They will suffer from vision loss, eye ulcers, multiple injuries, and even a stroke at the bottom of the sea. He suggested that we visit the pearl picking field in Ceylon Island. Captain Nemo also collected a pearl worth 2 million francs.
23. Chapter 23: A pearl worth tens of millions.
The captain showed us a pearl as big as a coconut core. An Indian pearl picker was trying to collect pearls when suddenly a big shark attacked him. The captain gave his life to save him and fought with the big shark to death. Just as the captain was dying, Ned Land stabbed the shark in the heart with a fork. The captain rescued the pearl picker to the boat and presented a bag of small pearls.
Chapter 24: The Red Sea
Nautilus is breaking the waves in the Red Sea, where hurricanes are raging and underwater reefs are everywhere. Captain Nemo told me the reason why the Red Sea got its name. This is a kind of buddle, commonly known as "Trigonella", which produces vermilion mucus. He discovered the Arabian Tunnel, an underground passage from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
