"This… how could this be?"
Yiying stood in the yacht cockpit.
She stared wide-eyed and watched the video sent back by the live drone.
Even Yang Xu who was calm before.
His complexion was also a little surprised!
In the picture taken by the live drone.
On the sea beyond 1 nautical mile.
Floating a whole island-like garbage dump!
This is an island made up entirely of rubbish.
The diameter is about 5 kilometers!
Discarded plastic bottles, fishing nets, and garbage bags are staggered and gathered together by ocean currents.
The live broadcast room was fried in an instant!
[Trash Island! An entire island of garbage! How is it formed? ]
[My God, this is too numb to my scalp, right? Is this the 'gift' that mankind brings to the waves? ]
[The Pacific Ocean is inaccessible, why is there so much rubbish? ]
[It turns out that such a garbage island floating on the sea was detected by shipboard radar. ]
Yang Xu frowned and said to Yiying: "Don't drive the Yunfan too close to the garbage island."
"I understand." Yiying nodded slightly.
There are a lot of dilapidated fishing nets around the garbage island.
In case the rubbish is turned into the propeller engine of the yacht.
It may cause troublesome malfunctions.
Yang Xu continued: "The motorboat can drive over and have a look. It's incredible."
About the 'garbage strip' of the Pacific.
Before setting sail, Yang Xu and Yiying had already done relevant understanding.
This phenomenon of marine garbage dumps does exist.
However, according to the records of relevant scientific research materials, there has never been a record of garbage dumps converging into 'islands'!
If.
In the previous few days.
What the yacht "Yunfan" recorded was the blue sky, white clouds and blue waves.
But at this moment.
In the shot of the live broadcast room.
But it is a 'garbage island' that has nothing to do with beautiful scenery!
The shock of the visual difference.
Let the audience in the live broadcast room speechless.
[I have read news reports that the total area of the Pacific garbage patch is very large! Larger than the combined area of West Banya, Germany and Europe, and France! It was unexpectedly discovered by Brother Xu where the garbage belt was moving! ]
[Is this the garbage discarded by humans? These are non-degradable plastic garbage, which is too evil. ]
[The pictures taken by Xu Ge are more shocking than those published by the International Environmental Organization! ]
[Mom, I want to go to the Pacific Ocean to pick up rubbish, so many plastic bottles can be sold for a small amount of money~]
The number of people in the live broadcast room, because of the appearance of the "Trash Island".
The number of people has risen straight up!
In a blink of an eye, it exceeded 1.69 million!
Perhaps those who are new to the live broadcast room will think that this yacht travels around the world in the live broadcast room.
It will be a beautiful picture of the shadows of the coconut trees, the clear water and the white sand.
However, it is in front of people's eyes.
But it is a garbage island where the inaccessible Pacific Ocean converges!
Yang Xu had already prepared his diving suit at this time.
Next he plans to ride a motorboat to the edge of the 'trash island'.
On the one hand, you can take a closer look at the cruel and spectacular scene of the garbage island.
Secondly.
The 'D-Class Rare Creature' scanned by the previous [Radar Template].
The distance to the garbage island is only 1 nautical mile away.
Yang Xu just took advantage of the opportunity to visit the 'trash island'.
Dive to find traces of D-class rare creatures.
This is the first time that radar templates give feedback on rare creatures.
Maybe there will be a lot of benefits!
"Next, I will take you to take a closer look at the artificial islands'given' to the Pacific Ocean by humans."
Yang Xu dropped a word.
He walked in the direction of the motorboat parked on the lower deck of the Yunfan Yacht.
After all, the Yunfan had no way to drop anchor.
Yiying needs to stay on the yacht and sit behind the town.
In Yang Xu, prepare for the gap close to the garbage island.
Yiying said to the live broadcast room:
"You don't need to make a fuss too much. Although the Pacific Ocean is inaccessible, the changes in seawater flow will form ocean current vortices, which will gather these floating objects together to form a long garbage belt."
The fact is indeed the case.
The audience sent back the footage via the live drone.
Deliberately clearly saw that the plastic garbage was printed with various countries' words.
There are everything from European countries, America countries, and Asian countries.
Therefore, this is a 'peculiar sight' formed by the collection of rubbish from the entire Pacific coast.
It's not pretty, it's even shocking.
But it is shocking enough!
[Xu brother, is this going to be close to the garbage island? The density of these plastic waste makes the scalp numb. ]
[I saw the body of Haiyan and the bones of fish. They were all trapped in the garbage island and died, right? ]
[I think that Xu's discovery will arouse the attention of environmental organizations all over the world! ]
Under the attention of 1.7 million viewers in the live broadcast room.
Yang Xu put on his diving suit, and the motorboat was lowered to the surface from the yacht's hydrophilic deck.
In the eyes of the audience.
Brother Xu is going to visit the Pacific "Trash Island" up close!
In fact, Yang Xu's real purpose is to find rare creatures.
As for the garbage gathered in the ocean?
Yang Xu is not interested at all.
I am not a practitioner of animal protection and environmental protection organizations.
Under the guise of visiting the garbage island.
Dive to find rare D-class cnidarians.
This is the real purpose of Yang Xu!
