Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

On the platform connecting the Viking to the aircraft carrier, Bi Fang scooped up a bowl of seawater with the wooden bowl he had just emptied of water and tore off a palm leaf that had been wrapping a shark meat patty.

He waited a moment until the ripples in the bowl had subsided.

Bi Fang took a small piece of paperclip, rubbed it vigorously against his hair, and after a while, he placed it on the palm leaf, gently setting it into the bowl.

Seconds later, everyone could clearly see the leaf in the water start to turn!

After swaying side to side for a while, it eventually stopped in a certain direction.

[Whoa, that's epic, it's a compass]

[Magnetized by rubbing on the scalp, then floating it on water, it points to the Earth's magnetic field]

[Amazing, it sounds simple, but it's not easy to think of]

The whole process wasn't complicated, and the audience understood it at a glance.

"Yes, the principle is similar to a compass. As for which side points south and which north, it's easy to tell by looking at the sun."

"However, although this trick is simple and foolproof, it has significant limitations. First, it must be as steady as possible, then there can't be too much wind, so it's rarely used at sea. It's more useful in dense forests, where you can find a puddle or something else. It doesn't have to be a fine wire, any long piece of iron will do."

Day three.

Asuka had completely disappeared from the sky, and Bi Fang put away his fishing rod, which was empty.

"It seems we've fully entered the current, and our speed is still quite fast."

With a straight-line distance of about 2,800 kilometers, Bi Fang estimated it would take within twenty days to arrive, which meant covering 140 kilometers a day. Taking into account the wind direction and errors, it might even reach 160 or 180 kilometers.

At first glance, it might seem doable at seven or eight kilometers per hour, but that calculation would have to exclude sleeping hours and various other unexpected events.

The task was still quite challenging.

Day five.

Bi Fang languished under the canvas, continuously scorched for several days, his skin turning red and even starting to peel. Now he tried to stay covered with the canvas as much as possible.

Thanks to the preparations done in advance, the materials and even the garbage on Easter Island could be utilized, greatly reducing the difficulty of the task.

Bi Fang even started to wonder if the System had made a mistake, as the current situation did not seem worthy of a T4 rating at all!

Since food and water were largely abundant, there was hardly any basic incentive to act.

But Dugu truly felt it.

Even surviving a hundred days in the Arctic did not strike him as intensely as the current experience.

Deafening silence.

An absolute silence.

There was no sign of any life at all.

In the ocean, no fish could be seen, and the sky was devoid of any birds, with nothing around but the endless ocean.

Fortunately, he had the company of the audience to alleviate his boredom.

Day six.

Bi Fang, after hoisting the triangular sail and moving forward for several hours, stopped at noon to rest and take a glance at the number of viewers in the live stream.

The number had dropped again, now down to just over three million.

If other broadcasters knew what Bi Fang was thinking at that moment, they would definitely want to hit him.

As he chatted idly, Bi Fang felt he couldn't continue like this. He stood up from the boat, lifted the canvas, and this action immediately caught the attention of the viewers.

[What's happening, what's happening? Is there some sort of issue?]

[What could it be? I can tell this place is deserted, nothing ever happens here]

[Indeed, this live stream feels so boring, no sense of adventure at all]

[Just being able to see Master Fang is bliss, watching him pull the tackle and handle the sail, hehehe]

[What a fangirl]

"I'm preparing to dive and take a look, to see if there really is no sign of life near Nemo Point."

Bi Fang found a piece of hemp rope and tied it around his waist.

On hearing this, the somewhat dormant live stream room finally buzzed with activity.

[Front row seats]

[Are things finally starting to get moving?]

[Speaking of which, why is the weather here so quiet, not even a storm?]

"I once dived at Easter Island, and I believe everyone was deeply impressed by the water quality there." Bi Fang finished tying the rope, approached the side of the boat and looked out, the visibility was still very high.

[Indeed, I've never seen such clean ocean water]

[The water where we are is the color of muddy water, so ugly. I always thought blue water didn't actually exist]

[The pollution must be severe, right?]

"Not necessarily," Bi Fang, reading the comments, denied this claim, "Many non-professionals love to attribute all environmental issues to pollution. The main reason for this isn't pollution, but rather the comprehensive effect of complex hydrological factors."

"I won't explain in detail how this works, the most important thing now is to take a look underwater."

"Since the birth of the primordial ocean, the desolate and lifeless Earth got a new face, especially after the appearance of primitive life in the sea, Earth became a bright pearl in the universe."

"It is no exaggeration to say, without water there would be no life. It is just that there are always some special places, which cannot be called deserted, but in terms of biodiversity are far less rich compared to other parts of Earth."

"The South Pacific, due to the presence of currents and lack of islands, almost no organic matter flows in, presenting a desolate scene."

"I wonder if anyone remembers me mentioning the Sargasso Sea before, the situation there is similar, even though it's much smaller than the South Pacific."

[I remember, that time in the Atlantic]

[Isn't the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic?]

"So-called water transparency is measured by submerging a white disk with a diameter of 30 centimeters in water where sunlight cannot directly reach, lowering it vertically until it can no longer be seen."

"The Sargasso Sea, near the Bermuda Islands in the North Atlantic, is recognized as the clearest sea in the world, with a transparency reaching 66.5 meters, and in some areas, up to 72 meters. On clear days, if photographic film is placed at depths exceeding 1000 meters, it can still be exposed. This is something other seas cannot hope to match."

"Though not to the same extent as that, the transparency of the South Pacific is also at least over fifty meters, hence it gives a completely different impression."

Having said that, Bi Fang adjusted his breathing and then jumped into the sea.

The drone captured the scene from above, a white splash formed next to the Viking.

The live stream automatically switched to a first-person viewpoint.

As the screenful of silver bubbles dissipated, an ocean world so clear it was hard to describe unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Today was still a sunny day, which enhanced the transparent quality to its utmost, and everyone's first impression was one of beauty.

But after waiting for a moment, everyone felt an indescribable strangeness.

Silence.

It was too silent.

During the live stream, Bi Fang's voice served as a distraction, but once immersed in the ocean and switching to the first-person view, the sense of desolate isolation intensified.

A cold chill, like a venomous snake, seemed to crawl up everyone's back.

When Bi Fang looked down into the abyss, that same snake seemed to explode its scales.
