Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 759 - 756 Besides Here

The audience in the live broadcast room was excited once again.

Barrages of comments temporarily obscured the screen, flying across it so fast. However, Bi Fang had quick reflexes and good dynamic vision, allowing him to catch a few skeptical questions among them.

[That's not right, the Pacific Ocean is so vast, how can there be no ships at all?]

[Indeed, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the only humans are on space stations overhead. What about distant water fishing boats and cargo ships? Aren't they manned?]

Some people felt that Bi Fang was exaggerating his words and even said bluntly that streamers love to exaggerate the facts to grab attention.

"Sorry to disappoint, but it's true," said Bi Fang with an undiminished smile, pointing to the sea in front of him, "We are in the Southern Hemisphere, where the majority of the world's shipping, which is between countries, is concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere."

"Of course, that's not to say that there's no shipping in the Southern Hemisphere. South America, South Africa, and Australia are all in the Southern Hemisphere. Although the scale is smaller, shipping does exist. However, their shipping doesn't pass through the South Pacific centered on Nemo Point."

"Not to mention whether ships pass through here or not, those who have studied high school geography should know that there are ocean currents. Ships get a huge boost from these currents, greatly increasing their speed, achieving twice the result with half the effort. In the entire South Pacific, apart from one major ocean gyre, there are no other currents."

"This leads to two situations: first, it doesn't make sense for ships to travel this route, and there's no destination. Distant water fishing boats are even less likely to come here to fish, because it could be said that there are almost no fish here."

No fish?

How is that possible?

Not just a few viewers disbelieved this now; the vast majority were unwilling to accept it.

Because the broadcast provided a map of Nemo Point, with nearly three thousand kilometers in proximity, it was an enormous area. To say there are no fish in such a large place?

And isn't no human presence supposed to mean no overfishing, and therefore more abundant fishery resources?

"On the contrary, the surrounding rotating waters almost completely block any rich nutrients from staying here, making this a barren maritime desert!" exclaimed Bi Fang dramatically.

The entire South Pacific gyre encircles this part of the ocean, much like how a typhoon traps it; all foreign materials are hindered by this layer of current, being carried off to other places,

Also, with no land at all in this area, the influx of organic matter becomes even less likely.

These extreme natural conditions result in a very scarce supply of nutrients, unable to support a superstructure, hence the number of living organisms is also extremely sparse, with large marine animals being almost non-existent.

[Listening to this, the difficulty seems bigger now]

[Then how does Old Fang plan to cross it, what will he eat for such a long time?]

[Damn, isn't this Hell mode? Worse than the desert]

[By the way, why hasn't anyone asked what Master Fang meant by the first half of his journey? Having a first half implies there is a second half. After crossing Nemo Point, does the desert refer to the Sahara next?]

"Congratulations to the online friend named Little Beard from Milk Bottle Network, you've guessed right, although there's no prize," said Bi Fang.

Bi Fang looked around, trying to spot a small grove within his field of view. "After crossing Nemo Point, I will go to the Sahara, also on a crossing journey. This will be two consecutive live broadcasts, with the entire process from starting the crossing to trekking across the Sahara limited within a hundred and twenty days."

"Before that, I have fifteen days to prepare the vessel, so I need to pick some good wood to support me throughout the crossing."

After listening to Bi Fang's plan for the next hundred and some days, the Shuiyou tapped their fingers, uncertain of what comments to type.

As always, pretty awesome?

Indeed, Nemo Point is an enigma to most, but the sheer impressiveness of the Sahara is well known to all.

As Bi Fang said, while the perimeter is habitable, the interior is an absolute death zone where humans simply cannot survive long-term. Here, it's all about lifeforms so altered they couldn't possibly be more different.

But keep calling it impressive seems somewhat repetitive and monotonous.

Yet not to acknowledge its impressiveness would be to ignore the obvious.

In short, it's...

[Absolutely outrageous]

[Before Old Fang showed up, I never imagined livestreaming could be this awesome]

[Huaxia's livestreaming is the coolest]

[emmm, I don't know what to say, it feels like Master Fang is playing on an even bigger stage now]

[Last time it was surviving 100 days in the Arctic, this time it's crossing both Nemo Point and the Sahara, so thrilling]

[I'm going to enjoy this again.]

[But are there any trees around here? I've been watching Old Fang for more than ten minutes now, and there's not even a hint of a forest!]

Bi Fang was walking on grassland; nearly all of Easter Island looked like a prairie, with shrubs here and there and the occasional tall structure, but those were just the giant stone statues. It seemed there was no actual tree cover.

[Hold on, Easter Island is over a hundred square kilometers according to Old Fang, pretty huge. Surely it's not just because of the seaside winds; why are there no trees?]

[Is this black soil on the ground? It looks very fertile]

"This is one of the mysteries surrounding the construction of the statues,"

Bi Fang sighed, having foreseen this situation. He crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil.

With a tight grip, it displayed excellent moldability, easily forming a ball, and that too, a black one.

If a seasoned farmer were here, they'd instantly recognize that this soil was incredibly fertile, downright oily!

"At present, higher education has seen little research on special types of soil, with currently three famous black soil regions in the world: the Mississippi River Basin, the black earth near the Dnieper River; China's Songliao Basin and Sanjiang Plain, two of which are influenced by volcanic activity."

"Since research on black soil is not very comprehensive yet, there are many aspects we don't fully understand. However, existing studies suggest that volcanic activity does promote the formation of black soils, giving them distinctive advantages in terms of material origin and topography. However, we can't generalize and claim that there's a necessary connection between the two."

"Regardless of whether it's black soil, we can be certain that the soil here is volcanic. This type of soil is equally fertile. I'll give you a few examples you'll understand; do you remember my trip to Aokigahara Forest in Japan?"

The audience nodded, remembering that dense forest that, despite being close to urban areas, resembled a primeval forest—the most baffling aspect being that it was also a frequent site for suicides.

"That lush and mysterious vista is known as the ocean of trees, which is how Aokigahara got its name, emerging after the last major volcanic eruption in the 9th century."

"Then there are the Hawaiian Islands, home to some of the greenest, most beautiful ecosystems on Earth, yet that pastoral archipelago was formed entirely by volcanic activity."

"Easter Island was formed about one million years ago by a volcanic eruption, a result of volcanic sedimentation. Generally speaking, the soil on such islands is very fertile, perfectly suited for plant growth, and typically hosts very dense forests."

"In the Pacific, there are several volcanic islands like Easter Island, each without exception having tall trees and lush vegetation."

"Except for, the Resurrection Archipelago."
