Chapter 195 Undersea Study Tour

Another employee in charge of guarding the submarine also came up and accompanied Xu Weiwei and the others along with the head coach.

"Find a seat and sit down. Let's talk about some precautions before we dive."

"Look at the armrest on the right side of your seat. There is a black bulge on the inside. You can push it down with a little force. What is the function of this bulge..."

"Press it down and then pull it up - and the seat will be lifted up." The coach said and lifted up the one closest to him for demonstration.

Xu Weiwei also stood up and followed suit, but she was not strong enough, so the coach used one hand while she had to use two hands.

"After lifting it up, you can first see a life jacket. In case of special circumstances, we need to take it out and put it on first. Then - take out the breathing mask and put it on your head, wrap the strap of the oxygen tank around your waist. The last step is to pull out the safety pin. Don't pull it out now!"

"As long as we complete this set of operations, there will be absolutely no problem holding on until rescue arrives~~!"

"Okay, is there anything unclear? If not, put everything back in place, and we're ready to go--!"

The submarine slowly sank into the water, and a large number of bubbles were generated around it. Unable to see the outside clearly, she could only feel that she was getting farther and farther away from the sea surface, and Xu Weiwei felt a little anxious and uneasy.

Mrs. Seaforth put her arm around her shoulders and gently reminded her, "Look down."

Feeling her mother's body temperature and the pleasant smell coming from her body, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but lean into her arms again. Then she lowered her head and looked down at her feet.

The bottom of the submarine is not made entirely of metal, but has two pieces of glass embedded in the middle to give people a more immersive experience.

Now, they have dived to a certain depth, as if they are only an arm's length away from the seabed. They can clearly see fine gravel, hermit crabs burrowing into their shells, small fish and other small creatures sticking upright in the sand.

Xu Weiwei's anxiety disappeared unconsciously and she began to enjoy this underwater journey.

"There are so many small fish in the sand!" Ryan also discovered it and said excitedly, pointing down.

"This is a garden eel. It is very timid. It will bury itself in the sand at the slightest disturbance and will not come out again until it feels safe. If it is strongly stimulated, it is very likely to be frightened to death."

"It's so timid!"

"Yes."

The submarine moved smoothly on the seabed. For the first time, Xu Weiwei had a concrete understanding of the term "underwater world". It was so similar to and yet so different from the scenes in the cartoon she had watched as a child - The Adventures of Little Carp.

Now think about it, it is amazing that carp is a freshwater fish, but it can go to the sea and make friends with jellyfish, turtles and seahorses. No wonder they all have magic.

"The thing that's hitting our glass right now is called a clownfish. It has a very distinctive appearance, with red and white stripes. It's very different from a garden eel. It's very courageous and a bit of a show-off. It really loves to watch the fun."

so cute!

Xu Weiwei put her hands on the glass to interact with the clownfish.

"We are about to pass a field of sea anemones. They are known as the 'flowers of the seabed'. They are very beautiful and have various colors. Clownfish often use them as beds."

The coach said this and said, "Let me test our two children. Question: Is the sea anemone an animal or a plant?"

Although Xu Weiwei had never studied it, she knew the pattern of the question. The anemone seemed to grow on the reef without moving, and there were other creatures that used it as a habitat. According to common sense, it must be a plant. But since the coach asked this question, it meant that it was not a conventional answer.

"It's an animal." Xu Weiwei answered affirmatively.

"Right! I think it's an animal too!"

"Oh my! Both kids are so smart! Congratulations on guessing it right! Sea anemones are indeed animals. Most of the time, they disguise themselves as motionless plants to hunt small prey that approach them."

"Then why does the clownfish dare to approach it?" Xu Weiwei was puzzled.

"Because clownfish have special mucus on their body surface, the poison of the anemone has no effect on them. Not only can they not eat it, they have a cooperative relationship.

Clownfish are brightly colored and it is difficult for them to hide from other big fish. Sea anemones are like shelters for them. Sea anemones move slowly and often cannot catch food. Clownfish can attract small creatures to approach the tentacles of sea anemones and become food for them.

"Oh~~~!"

Xu Weiwei listened with great interest. For her, there are many unknown things in the world, and the process of understanding unknown things and phenomena is very interesting and enjoyable.

The submarine sailed all the way to the depths of the sea. Xu Weiwei would ask the coach questions about anything interesting she saw on the way, turning this sightseeing trip into a study tour.

At first, the coach felt proud of being a teacher, but later he couldn't stand it anymore. He was sweating when asked.

Fortunately, Mrs. Seaforth came to the rescue in time: "Weier, let's keep the sea a little mysterious. Next time you come, let your uncle tell you, okay?"

Xu Weiwei realized that she had asked too many questions, so she nodded obediently and stopped asking.

The coach breathed a sigh of relief and gave Mrs. Seaforth a grateful look.

But when Xu Weiwei really calmed down, he felt a little guilty.

After taking a look at the numbers on the dashboard, the coach suddenly thought of something.

"We have just seen a lot of marine life, most of them are small fish, crabs and the like, the largest one is just the manta ray. Do you want to see something heavyweight?" the coach said mysteriously.

"What is heavyweight? A whale?" Xu Weiwei blurted out.

"Uh...it's not that heavy, handsome guy. Do you want to guess?"

Ryan thought about it carefully and asked, "Is it a dolphin?"

"That's right! How clever!"

"We are now a certain distance away from the shore. We can use sonar to attract nearby dolphins. Do you want to try it?"

"I want to——!" Xu Weiwei responded cooperatively.

"Okay! Then let's prepare to surface."

"Are we going to the surface?"

"Yeah, don't you want to interact with dolphins up close?"

Xu Weiwei's eyes widened in surprise: "Is this possible?!"

The coach smiled proudly: "Hehe, you didn't expect it, did you? You think this trip is worth it? But there is no guarantee that it will be 100% successful. I am looking forward to it just like you."
