Chapter 503: In chapter 503, Abbey Dean Ning said that he had to believe in science
Translator: 549690339
A strange thing had happened near the Gibraltar Strait recently.
Groups of seabirds had been circling and singing in circles above a sea area.
This was not the first time this had happened.
Many people thought that it was just because there was more food in the sea area that attracted birds to this place to look for food.
There were also some media outlets that introduced the possibility of Atlantis in order to attract attention. In fact, they didn’t believe it themselves.
But now, Ning Fei said that he wanted to come here to look for Atlantis.
This matter undoubtedly made people feel that it was very magical.
[ does Atlantis really exist? ]
[ yeah? I saw the DC movie ‘Sea King’. It seems that the main character lives in Atlantis. ]
[ the Overseas Sea God is in Atlantis, which is equivalent to the East China Sea Dragon Palace in China. ]
Life on the cruise was a little monotonous, so Ning Fei would sometimes look at the bullet screen and chat with netizens.
“The possibility of Atlantis’existence is very high.”
“The earliest recorded description appeared in the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s book, ‘Dialogue.'”
“Plato claimed that Atlantis was destroyed by a prehistoric flood 10,000 years ago in the park
“According to legend, Atlantis was an ancient city state with a highly developed civilization. Its people considered themselves to be the people of the god of the ocean
“If it existed, it was very likely to be buried in the deep sea.”
Ning Fei told the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Ning Fei had read many ancient books and knew that there were many ancient figures who were absolutely talented.
Not to mention the representative figures like Lao Zi and Zhuang Zhou, Zhang Heng who studied seismographs, Lu Ban who was proficient in construction machinery, and so on, they were all outstanding talents in a certain field.
Similarly, Ancient Greece, as a representative of ancient culture, the great figures among them were also quite knowledgeable.
“Ancient Greece is not one of the four great ancient countries. It is a secondary civilization.”
“The four great ancient countries, including China, belong to the primary civilization. That is to say, they are not affected by the outside world and create their own civilization.”
“Apart from the primary and secondary civilizations, ancient Greece is influenced by the ancient Indian culture and belongs to the ocean civilization.”
“And the four great ancient countries belong to the Great River Civilization.”
“In other words, ancient Greece was more proficient in the study of the ocean than the four great ancient countries. It had its own unique path of development.”
“Therefore, Plato’s ‘Dialogue record’may not be groundless.”
Ning Fei said again.
Hearing Ning Fei’s words, the netizens were dumbfounded.
[ what is he saying? Why Can’t I Understand? ]
“I don’t know what he’s talking about!”
“To put it simply, the marine culture of ancient Greece was very developed. Many of the legends about the ocean could be true.”
“That’s unlikely. After so many years, I haven’t seen anyone from Europe find Atlantis.”
“Damn it, I thought Abbey Dean Ning only knew about astronomy and geography. I didn’t expect him to know so much about foreign knowledge.”
“Plato, Ancient Greece, seems to be very far away from us.”
While the Chinese netizens were discussing, the foreign netizens also agreed with Ning Fei’s understanding of their culture.
“However, whether Atlantis really exists or not, we still need to explore before we can find the answer.”
“So many years have passed. What exactly is the structure of the ancient Atlantis? Whether it is an ancient country with a high level of civilization, as the rumors say, is questionable.”
“Moreover, since ancient times, people have never stopped searching for Atlantis, but until today, no one has found it.”
Ning Fei continued.
He also felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
If Atlantis really existed, why had no one found it for thousands of years?
But the system said that it did exist.
What kind of place would it exist in?
Bai Yi was particularly interested in the scenery on the sea.
But it was only temporary.
The Endless Sea looked very stunning at first, but as time passed, it would gradually become boring.
Therefore, traveling was a spiritual cultivation, so one had to be able to control their temper.
“Brother, when will we arrive?”
Bai Yi leaned on the bow of the ship in boredom, holding the railing with both hands.
“Little Bai, how far is it?”
Ning Fei asked the intelligent butler of the cruise ship.
“Reporting, Captain. The current distance is 432 nautical miles from the Strait of Gibraltar. Estimated to arrive in 10 hours.”
“It’s finally here.”Bai Yi immediately became happy.
Ning Fei only smiled.
For Ning Fei, the atmosphere on the ship was a little livelier after Bai Yi got on the ship, and it helped to relieve his loneliness.
After all, sailing on the sea sometimes took more than ten days, and it was relatively boring.
Ning Fei checked the instructions given by the system.
On his phone, Ning Fei could see a circular pattern that looked like a radar scan, but it was out of his expectations. This pattern was not in the ocean, but on land.
“I see.”
Ning Fei nodded and muttered to himself.
No wonder so many explorers had gone to the ocean to search for traces of Atlantis, but they could not find it. It was because Atlantis was not in the ocean at all!
This was indeed a big discovery.
The Strait of Gibraltar was located at the border between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It was the only “Throat”for the Atlantic Ocean to enter the Mediterranean Sea. Since ancient times, it had always been a land of contention.
Thousands of years ago, because of its unique geographical location, it had created a chaotic war between the city-states around the Mediterranean Sea and the development of marine civilization.
“We’re almost at the Gibraltar Strait. There are obviously more ships around.”
At this moment, Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. As expected, they saw many large ships slowly gathering in the surrounding sea area, heading in the same direction.
The straits were all important places for transportation. There were unimaginable huge ports. Sometimes, there were more than 10,000 ships docked in the ports. It was also a spectacular scene.
“Are we almost there?”
“Abbey Dean Ning, how are you going to find Atlantis?”
“Yes, the Atlantic Ocean is so big. How can we find it?”
“Are we going to dive into the sea and search bit by bit? When will we find it?”
The netizens had always been paying close attention to this matter. Now that they were finally close to their destination, everyone became even more curious.
Looking at the comments of the netizens, Ning Fei smiled and said,
“For thousands of years, there have been many hypotheses regarding Atlantis.”
“Among them, the most widespread one is that Atlantis was once an island. Later on, due to special reasons, it sank to the bottom of the ocean.”
“Later, modern scholars conducted a special investigation of the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to verify this problem.”
“Scientists found that the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was filled with thick sedimentary rocks that took millions of years to form. There were no signs of an island sinking.”
“So, it is very likely that Atlantis is not at the bottom of the ocean.”
“We have to believe in science!”
After hearing Ning Fei’s words, the netizens all felt that something was not right.
[ Abbey Dean Ning said that he had to believe in science. ]
[ he kept saying that he believed in science, and every move was a theology. ]
[ I used to believe in science, but after watching Abbey Dean Ning’s live broadcast, I now believe in metaphysics. ]
[ I just felt that something was not right. ]
[ hahaha, so everyone has this feeling. ]
Ning Fei did not plan to enter the Gibraltar Straits.
The complicated customs procedures and investigations would take at least two to three days to complete there, and Atlantis was not at this place.
Ning Fei controlled the light wind cruise ship and sped away.
“Something must be wrong.”
“Let’s go to the place where the seabirds gather first.”
He recalled the news a few days ago and planned to go there to find some clues.
After all, that sea area was very close to the area marked by the system.
Ning Fei also did not know what kind of form Atlantis was in.
Therefore, he needed to look for clues.
The light wind cruise ship sailed forward.
The number of seabirds in the surroundings increased.
The Little Falcon soared in the sky and looked at the scene in front of it with some doubts.
It gently chirped a few times, sending a message to Ning Fei.
“People are right about why seabirds gather in this sea area, but it’s not entirely true.”
“Scholars believe that it’s because this sea area is rich in marine resources and food is abundant, so seabirds are constantly staying in this place.”
“But in reality, it’s not just that. The Little Falcon told me that there’s something under the sea that attracts them.”
“I have to go down and see.”
