Chapter 913: Underwater Recording
Zhang Zian dried his hair, talked to the customer for a few words, let Li Kun and Jiang Feifei go back to the next door to take care of business, and went up to the second floor by himself.
The customer's whale watching proposal is pretty good, but it's a different matter if there is a moody giant whale in the shallow sea. God knows when it will suddenly appear beside the boat. If the boat capsizes and brings danger to the customer, it will be troublesome. .
He knocked on the door, waited a while and went into the bathroom.
Shihua looked him up and down, and asked, "Is the water on your body really sprayed by whales?"
"Well, I met that giant whale again, and it almost capsized the boat." Zhang Zian took out the things in his pocket, threw the wet clothes into the laundry basket, and planned to wash the excess together.
"What's the matter? You didn't play my song to it?" Shihua frowned suspiciously. She didn't dare to say anything else, but she was very confident in her singing. She never used it to communicate with whales. No problems encountered.
"Of course I released it, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and it had the opposite effect." Zhang Zian replied truthfully, "The strange thing is that your singing is effective for the minke whale, but not for the giant whale. You know this is What's the matter?"
Shihua blinked innocently, except for the white whale, she couldn't tell the other types of whales, even if he said it was a minke whale or something, she didn't know what kind of whale it was.
Zhang Zian told her the most important things about going to sea today, and then concluded: "At present, your singing voice has only been played to two kinds of whales, one is effective, and the other is not. I also want to find more kinds of whales. Whale added samples, but unfortunately couldn't find them. The question now is, there are only two possibilities for this matter-either there is a flaw in your singing, or there is something wrong with the whale. Which do you think it is?"
"Impossible! My singing voice is absolutely fine! It must be because your opening posture is wrong!" She was afraid that he would blame her, so she hurriedly shirked the responsibility in advance.
Zhang Zian rested his forehead with his hands, "What if the posture problem is temporarily ruled out?"
"Then...then that's the problem with that whale! Yes! It's probably deaf!" Shihua rolled his eyes and suddenly realized: "People have deafness, and whales also have deafness!"
After she finished speaking, she was still complacent, with a look of "I'm so smart".
Zhang Zian: "...There may indeed be deaf people in the whale, but this giant whale should not be deaf, because I think it was attracted to you because it heard your singing."
Shihua was taken aback, "Impossible! After hearing my singing, it can't attack you again!"
"I mean, it did hear your singing, but due to some reasons we don't know yet, it didn't understand or understand your singing. Do you think this is possible?" Zhang Zian patiently explained Said, "Remember what I asked you? Can all cetaceans understand your singing? If they don't understand, will there be misunderstandings?"
In the past, Shihua would have given an affirmative answer to this question without thinking, but now she is not so sure, because if the giant whale is fine, then the problem lies in her singing itself, and she does not want to Admit it.
She tried her best to remember, and said: "Most whales should be able to understand, right? At least... the whales near Germany can understand. I can learn it when I hear their songs. If I can't hear them, there is nothing I can do. After arriving in Binhai City, I can also understand the whale songs in the nearby sea... Maybe that giant whale came from a remote country!"
The low-frequency sound waves of whales can travel far,
But it’s not infinitely far away. Depending on the sea conditions, it can travel up to thousands of kilometers. Shihua, which was born near Northern Europe, can only hear whale songs within that range.
"Then can you hear the sound of that giant whale now?" Zhang Zian asked again.
"No, there are too many whales nearby. It's like a thousand ducks calling. I can't tell who is who. I can only try not to listen to them. I regard those sounds as the background of wind and rain. Otherwise, I won’t be able to hear your words.” Shi Hua shook his head.
It turned out to be like this...Zhang Zian thought about it for a while, the hearing range is too large, it is indeed very hard, even some sounds that he does not want to hear, if it is an ordinary person, he may have gone crazy long ago, thanks to Shihua's brain A stick.
Although the number of cetaceans has been greatly reduced now, within a range of several thousand kilometers, there may be tens of thousands of whales, including some giant whales. It is like thousands of people talking at the same time, and they want to pick a specific one. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Understood, let me change the question - if you hear the singing of that giant whale, can you understand and try to talk to it?" Zhang Zian asked another question prepared in advance.
"Uh..." Shihua scratched his hair in distress, and said uncertainly: "I didn't learn it deliberately, I learned it unconsciously... Maybe I can."
"Okay, then it's up to me to find a way to get that whale's singing." Zhang Zian nodded, indicating that he was fine.
"Wait a moment!"
He was about to leave the bathroom when Shi Hua stopped him.
"How do you plan to get the singing of the giant whale?" Shihua noticed the waterproof bag under his phone, "Are you going to put the phone in the water to record?"
"Of course not. The waterproof bag can only prevent daily splashing. If it is put underwater, it may not be waterproof... Besides, even if the waterproof bag can play a waterproof effect, it will also hinder the transmission of sound, making the sound difficult. Distortion occurs, recording like that is equivalent to white recording." Zhang Zian shook his head and said.
"That……"
"If you want to record underwater, you can only find professional equipment, which is a high-precision recording device called an 'underwater pickup'." He further explained.
"Oh haha, so it's an underwater pickup..." Shihua pretended to understand, "Can this thing be bought online? It's the same as buying a boat online?"
"You can't buy this online, not even Taobao, which is omnipotent." Zhang Zian shrugged regretfully.
"Then what?" she asked again.
"However, I know a person. He is an associate professor of the Biology Department of Binhai University. He often goes on field trips. I think he should have it there. I plan to call him later and ask if he can borrow it for me. " Zhang Zian is quite sure that the dignified biology department must have this kind of professional equipment, but he is not sure whether it can be borrowed.
"I... let me call! I haven't gotten through yet!" Shihua begged enthusiastically.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whoever hits her, anyway, now she has something to ask for, and it just happens to satisfy her little wish.
Zhang Zian readily agreed to her request, and unlocked the phone screen, revealing the live app interface that hadn't been closed yet. ...
