A naturalist was invited to America to take part in a scientific investigation. There was a monster at sea at that time, which caused an uproar all over the world. After the expedition, the naturalist was preparing to pack his bags and return to France, but he was invited by the United States Admiralty, so he changed his course and boarded a destroyer to participate in the activity of "removing that monster from the ocean". After many hardships, the "monster" has not been removed, but the destroyer has been hit hard by the "monster". The naturalist, his servant and a whaling ship specially invited to the destroyer to get rid of the monster have all become prisoners of the monster! That "monster" is not him. It turned out to be an unknown submarine named Nautilus. Submarines also give preferential treatment to prisoners; However, in order to keep his secret, Nemo, the captain of the submarine, never allowed them to leave. Arona Cox and his team had no choice but to follow the submarine around the ocean. Ten months later, the three men finally escaped in an extremely sinister environment, and the naturalist was able to make the secret of the seabed public. "Two Wan Li under the Sea" is mainly about their ten-month experience. There have been many Chinese versions of Two Wan Li under the Sea, and "Two Wan Li" has become a conventional saying. In fact, the "Li" here refers to Guri in France, which is divided into land and sea, with an ancient sea of about 5.556 kilometers and an ancient land of about 4.445 kilometers; Since it's an undersea tour, the two Wan Li here should be 20,000 nautical miles. In this way, the distance they traveled on the seabed should exceed 1 1 10,000 kilometers. This is to be explained. 1 1 10,000 km journey is a big scene, and what you see along the way can be said to be full of wonders. Who has seen the undersea forest? Who has seen a submarine coal mine? Who has ever seen priceless pearls "raised" in shells? Arona Cox, a prisoner, and his friends met him and once wandered around. They fought with sharks in the pearl farm in the Indian Ocean, and the whaling ship Rand cut down a fierce giant shark. They hunted an endangered dugong in the Red Sea, and the meat of the dugong was served on the table that night. They fought a bloody battle with octopus in the Atlantic Ocean, and a crew member died tragically. These scenes are very thrilling. In addition, the book also describes how sperm whales kill fin whales and how the submarine Nautilus kills groups of sperm whales, which is also very rare. Arona Cox is a naturalist, knowledgeable and well-informed. She sailed underwater by submarine, which enabled her to appreciate all kinds of animals and plants in the ocean. He and his servant Conseil, who is fascinated by taxonomy, gave us a detailed introduction to these marine life, including the world, phyla, class, order, family, genus and species, which made readers understand many marine life. Pierre Aronnax also described all the wonders he saw in the ocean one by one, which opened readers' eyes and let them know what is the Pacific Black Current, what is the Mexican Warm Current, how the hurricane is formed, what is the the sargasso sea like ... Do we know how coral reefs are formed? Do you know how deep the ocean is? Do you know how fast the ocean travels sound? This kind of knowledge can be found everywhere in books. Nautilus was also in distress, lying too shallow on the coral reef and being attacked by Papua aborigines. The most terrible thing is that people on board can hardly survive because they are trapped by thick ice at the South Pole. However, with the excellent structure of the submarine and the captain's superhuman wisdom, all kinds of dangers were resolved, and finally the submarine trip of 1 1 10,000 kilometers was completed. In Verne's time, the submarine just appeared and was still a mysterious thing; Nemo, the captain of the Nautilus, is a man of unknown origin. He escaped from human beings and lived in seclusion at the bottom of the sea, but vaguely had a special connection with some people on land. All these add a layer of mystery to the novel. As a novel, of course, the characters are fictional, and the Latin name given to Captain Nautilus by the writer clearly points this out-"Nemo" is meaningless in Latin. But this does not prevent the author from describing him as a flesh-and-blood figure, which makes readers feel credible.

Captain nemo

Captain Nemo in Two Wan Li under the Sea is the main character in the novel. The knowledgeable engineer has a cool head and is calm and witty. He is not a scientist who can't stand the wind and rain in his study and greenhouse, but a national aspiration who grew up in the fire of anti-colonialism struggle. He collected gold and silver treasures at the bottom of the sea and supported the just struggle of the oppressed nations. When the motherland became a colony, he led a few like-minded people to dive into the seabed, and supported and awakened the oppressed people's struggle against colonial rule with rebellious actions and dissatisfied remarks. Verne condemned the brutal expansion of colonialists in the Indian subcontinent through Captain Nemo. On the surface, Captain Nemo seems to be a lonely hermit with a dying heart. But from his deep heart, generate's passionate feelings show that he is a scientific soldier who always pays attention to the world political situation. Captain Nemo longed for not money and wealth, but personal freedom and happiness. He once shouted: "I don't recognize any master in the sea. I am completely free in the sea." This is Captain Nemo's heartfelt words, which truthfully expresses his strong dissatisfaction with colonial rule and reflects his pursuit of freedom. He values freedom more than anything else. In order to be free, he didn't even "go near" an inch of dirty land. He lives on the bottom of the sea, and all the necessities of life are taken from the sea. He would rather dedicate and bury the scientific achievements carefully studied for many years in the sea with his own body than serve the barbaric colonial rulers. Captain Nemo portrayed by Verne is a typical figure in the rising stage of capitalism, with humanitarianism and democratic thoughts. Under the historical conditions at that time, he represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie. Through his personality, we can see the enterprising spirit of the bourgeois representative in the rising stage. But by the end of the novel, what Captain Nemo did: attack other countries' warships and destroy them. It also cast a mysterious color on him, which made people puzzled. Since it is a novel, the characters are of course fictional. The Latin name given to Captain Nautilus by the author points out this point more clearly-"Nemo" has no meaning in Latin. But this does not prevent the author from describing him as a flesh-and-blood figure, which makes readers feel credible. Self-confidence, because his head is proudly raised above the arc formed by the outline of his shoulders, and his gloomy eyes look at others calmly and calmly, because his skin is pale and not rosy, which shows that he is very calm. He is tall, with an open forehead, a straight nose and slender hands. In the words of palmistry, he is full of "synaesthesia", that is to say, he complements his proud and emotional mind. It can be said that this person is probably the most perfect person I have ever met. There is another subtle feature. His eyes are slightly apart, so he can have a panoramic view. This function-which I later confirmed-made his vision 1 times higher than that of Holland. When a stranger's eyes are facing something, his brow is always locked, his broad eyelids are slightly closed, and his eyes are wrapped by his eyelids, thus narrowing his vision. He stared, what a sharp eye! Captain Nemo learned languages: Nautilus, French, English, German and Latin. (Chapter 10 Man in the Water) Captain Nemo's library on the Nautilus: * * 12,000 volumes. In these books, I saw the masterpieces of ancient and modern masters-from Homer to victor hugo, from Zenofen to Michelangelo, from rabelais to Madame George Thornton, all the achievements accumulated by human beings in history, poetry and science over the years. , everything. Specialized science books are the most precious part of this library, and books such as mechanics, ballistics, oceanography, meteorology, geography and geology occupy no less position than natural science books. I understand that these are the focus of the captain's research. I saw the complete works of Han Bohr and arago on the bookshelf, as well as the works of Vogel, Henry Saint-Clery de Ville scheil, Mill Edward, Carter Farley, Dundal, Faraday, Berthelot, Abbott Xi Xue, Bertman, Major Molly, Agassiz and others. Papers of the Academy of Sciences, journals of the National Geographic Society, and so on. The two books I wrote were also placed in a prominent position, and I was able to receive Captain Nemo quite generously, probably because of these two books. In Bertrand's works, his book The Founder of Astronomy allowed me to calculate the exact date when the ship was built. I know that this book was published in 1865, so I can conclude that Nautilus was launched after this period. In this way, Captain Nemo began his life under the sea for no more than three years. I really hope there are more latest books for me to set this date: but I think I will have time to do this kind of research; I don't want to delay visiting the miracle on the nautilus any longer. Captain's Museum: ● Calligraphy and painting collection: The works of masters of all ages are hung here: a portrait of the Madonna of Raphael, a portrait of the Madonna of Leonardo da Vinci, a portrait of a girl in Gorezi, a portrait of a woman in Dion, a portrait of the worship of Bienez, a portrait of the Madonna of Milero, a portrait of Herbain, a monk in velazquez, a martyr of Ribeira and Rubens. , Misu. , three paintings by Bautel, two paintings by Ye and Prudden, and several seascape paintings by Wei Yi. Among modern works, there are oil paintings engraved with the names of Delacroix, Angel, Degan, Duroyan and Messoni, as well as some miniature bronze statues and stone statues imitating the most beautiful ancient models, which are placed on the shelf in the corner of this gorgeous museum. ● Music art: Weber, Rossini, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Meibier. According to the music scores of Nadine, Obi-Wan, Cournot and others, these music scores were randomly placed on a grand piano, occupying a square in the living room. In addition to works of art, rare products in nature also occupy a very important position. These things are mainly plants, shells and other marine products: first, the beautiful Indian Ocean turtle, whose regular white spots are very conspicuous on a reddish-brown background. Secondly, Feng Wang, with prickly skin and bright colors, is a rare variety in European museums. I estimate its value at 20,000 francs. Secondly, the rough shellfish common in the waters of New Holland Island are not easy to catch. Secondly, the exotic shellfish on Senegal island, two crisp white shells are like soap bubbles, which will dissipate when blown. Secondly, several Java pseudo-watering can-shaped shells, like calcareous tubes, are most popular with shell lovers because of their leafy wrinkles on the edges. Secondly, a whole group of shallow shells, some blue and yellow, from the American Sea, some brown, breed in the waters of New Holland Island. The latter is produced in the Gulf of Mexico, and its shell is scaly and persimmon-shaped, which is the most prominent. The former is a star-shaped shell taken from the Antarctic ocean. The rarest and most beautiful shell in this group is the bony spur shell of New Zealand. Followed by beautiful plate-shaped shells containing sulfur, precious beautiful shells from Siddeley and Venus, lattice plate-shaped shells along the coast of Shangrangba, shiny fine-grained hoofed shells from mother-of-pearl, green sail shells from the Sea of China, almost unknown conical shells among conical shells, various magnetic shells used as currency in India and Africa, and the most precious shell in east indies-"the glory of the sea". Finally, there are snails, swallow snails, pyramid snails, sea clams, egg shells, snail shells, tortoise shells, iron helmet shells, cinnabar shells, oil snails, harp snails, rock snails, French snails, fossil snails, spindle snails, sleeve shells, wing shells, bell shells, Nietzsche shells and prismatic shells, which are exquisite and crisp, scientists. Captain Nemo's Wealth: The construction cost of Nautilus is1790,000 francs, including the equipment cost of 2 million francs, and all the artworks and collectibles on board are 5 million francs. Captain Nemo said: "Infinitely rich, I can pay off billions of French national debt without any difficulty!" The captain's love for the nautilus "I love it as if it were my favorite thing!" " Although your ship is often accidentally attacked by the ocean. Everything at sea is dangerous. Yang Sheng, a Dutchman, put it very well. He said that people's first impression at sea is the feeling of being afraid of the bottomless pit. But on the Nautilus, people have no fear at all. There is no need to be afraid that the ship will be damaged, because the double hull of this ship is as hard as steel; It has no cable that will be damaged by the agitation or impact of wind and waves: it has no sail that will be blown away by the wind; It has no iron furnace where steam can be decomposed; It won't have a terrible fire, because the ship is made entirely of steel, not wood; It doesn't need coal that sometimes runs out, because electricity is its mechanical power; Because it is alone in deep water, there will be no terrible collision; It doesn't have to risk the storm, because it can get absolute peace a few meters underwater! Sir, this is the advantage of this ship. It is a special, excellent and unique ship! For this ship, the design engineer may have more confidence than the chief architect, and the chief architect may have more confidence than the captain. If so, then you can understand why I completely trust my Nautilus, because I am also the captain, architect and engineer of this ship! "Captain Nemo's love for the sea is true. I love the sea! The sea is all-encompassing The ocean accounts for seven tenths of the earth's area. The taste of the sea is pure and sanitary. In this sea of Wang Yang, people are not lonely, because they feel that life is trembling around them; The sea is an extraordinary and wonderful journey of survival; The sea is flowing, the sea is love, as a great French poet said, it is eternal life. Indeed, professor, there are three kinds of animals, plants and minerals in the ocean in nature. Animals can multiply in the sea, mainly including four coelenterates, three arthropods, five mollusks and three vertebrates, namely mammals, reptiles and countless fish. Fish is an endless animal ... * * * There are more than thirteen thousand species, of which only one tenth is in fresh water. The ocean is the storehouse of nature. It can be said that the earth started from the ocean, who knows whether the earth will belong to the ocean in the future! There is an extremely peaceful environment in the sea. The sea does not belong to the oppressor. At sea, they can also attack each other with violence, devour each other there, and use all kinds of terrorist means on land there. But below 30 feet above sea level, their strength will not be reached, their arrogance will be put out and their city will disappear! Ah! Sir, if you want to live, live in the sea! Only in the sea is independence! In the sea, the enemy does not admit that there is any master: I am completely free in the sea! Captain Nemo's utilization of the sea 1, the food sea provides me with all the necessities. Sometimes I drop the trawl and pull it up when the net is full and about to break. Sometimes I go hunting in the middle of the sea where people can't go. I chase the prey that lives in my underwater forest. Like Neptune's old shepherd, my cattle, sheep and livestock graze carefree on the vast underwater pasture. I have a huge industry under the sea, which was planted by the creator himself. Professor, do you think this is beef? Actually, it's just a turtle's ass. This dish is dolphin liver, or you may think it is stewed pork. My cook is a very capable cook. He is good at preserving all kinds of products in the ocean. Please try these dishes. This is a plate of canned sea cucumber, which Malayan people say is the most delicious food in the world. This is a cream cake. The milk used is squeezed from the nipples of whales, and the sugar is extracted from a large seaweed in the Arctic Ocean. Finally, I invite you to taste this autumn peony jam, which tastes no less than the sweetest jam. 2, daily necessities Now the material you wear is a kind of shellfish's foot silk, which is dyed with the red that the ancients liked. Mixed with the purple I took out of the Mediterranean rabbit. The spices you see on the dresser in the engine room are extracted from marine plants. The bed you sleep in is made of the softest big leaf seaweed in the sea. The pen you use is the tentacles of whales, and the ink is squid or the juice secreted by squid. Now the sea has given me everything, just as everything will be returned to it in the future! 3. Tobacco This kind of tobacco is neither from Havana nor from the East. This is a kind of seaweed rich in tobacco essence supplied to me in the sea, and the number of this kind of seaweed is small. 4. Call "can get the answer to this question. Captain Nemo replied, "First of all, I tell you that there are mineral deposits such as zinc, iron, silver and gold on the seabed, and it is not impossible to develop them. But I don't rely on these metals on land. I just hope that the ocean itself will provide me with raw materials for producing electricity. " "Want the sea to supply?" "Yes, professor, I have many methods. For example, I can connect metal wires immersed in different depths into a circuit, and the different heat of the metal wires will generate electricity: but I usually use another convenient and practical method. " "What kind of method is it?" "Do you know the composition of the sea. One kilogram of seawater is 96.5% water, about 2.7% sodium chloride, and the rest is a small amount of magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, Australian magnesium, magnesium sulfate, sulfuric acid and carbolic acid. As you can see, the content of sodium chloride in seawater is quite high. What I extract from seawater is sodium, which I use to make the substances I need. " "sodium?" "Yes, Sir. Sodium and mercury are mixed to form an alloy to replace zinc needed in Bunsen batteries. Mercury will not be lost, but only sodium will be consumed, but seawater itself provides the sodium I need. In addition, I can tell you that sodium battery should be the strongest, and its electromotive force is several times stronger than that of zinc battery. " "Captain, I understand that you get the advantage of sodium in this case. Seawater contains 6 pairs of sodium. But we must make it, that is, we must bring it out. How did you do that? Of course, your battery can do this kind of work, but if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that the electric machine will consume more sodium than the recommended sodium. So the result is the sodium you consume in the production process. In fact, sodium is more than you can produce! " "Professor, I don't need a battery to extract it. I just use the heat of coal on land. "On land?" I said emphatically. "Let's say it's coal at the bottom of the sea." Captain Nemo replied. "Can you open a coal mine under the sea?" "Mr. Pierre Aronnax, you will see me mining. I only ask you to be patient for a while, because you have time, you can wait. I only ask you to pay attention to this point: I get everything from the ocean, use the ocean to generate electricity, and provide heat, light and electricity to Nautilus. In a word. Electricity gave life to Nautilus. "

Professor Pierre Aronnax.

Biologist Bo Gu Golden Boy sailed underwater in a submarine, which enabled him to appreciate all kinds of animals and plants in the ocean. He and Conseil, a servant fascinated by taxonomy, gave us a detailed introduction to these marine life, describing the world, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species in an orderly way, which made readers know many marine life. Pierre Aronnax also described all the wonders he saw in the ocean one by one, which opened readers' eyes.

Conseil

Professor Pierre Aronnax's servant is calm by nature and never makes a fuss. Always so calm and easy-going, never anxious to get angry-at least you can't see him anxious to get angry. He is proficient in classification theory and always classifies everything seriously or seriously, but he knows nothing about the names of those things. It can be said that he is a taxonomist.

the Netherlands

He is a primitive man, a wild whaler. He will also admire the beauty of the polar regions, but what is more important to him is the steak, veal and wine in the pub and the free walk on the land. He has a bad temper and can't stand being imprisoned. He always intends to run away. Without him, the professor and Conseil could not finally return to land.
