Features: Dolphin Bobo is indeed the one brought to the polar marine world by Dr. Anyina. She has so much knowledge in her head; she is incredibly knowledgeable. This is partly because the dolphin family is naturally an intelligent group of marine animals, and partly because Bobo has been constantly learning from Dr. Anyina through word and example, osmosis, and immersion—making it impossible for her not to acquire knowledge. When Qiqi and the others traveled through the ocean time tunnel to rescue Fang Xiaochi, it should be said that it was the right choice, because it was fast; they could reach their destination in just a few seconds, whether it was Antarctica or the Arctic; whether it was the Pacific, the Atlantic, or the Indian Ocean. Qiqi, who has gone through the ocean time tunnel several times, has never really understood how the ocean time tunnel works. She only knows that at the bottom of the polar marine world, there is an opening—actually not an opening, but a wall of glowing multicolored rings that only she and her kind can recognize—in the Antarctic underwater forest coral reef group, and there are openings in many other places with oceans. Beyond that, Qiqi knows nothing else. For this matter, she has asked Dolphin Bobo about her many doubts, and Bobo has told her some relevant knowledge, but there are some situations that even Bobo cannot fully explain. The world is so vast, and nature holds countless secrets—how can anyone know everything? However, Bobo and Qiqi can all use this ocean time tunnel. Bobo told Qiqi that the theoretical foundation for studying this time tunnel comes from a great scientist in the human world: Einstein. Einstein's theory of relativity tells people that when an object travels faster than the speed of light, it can travel through time and space. As for how the ocean time tunnel appears, it is absolutely a mystery. While Bobo was recovering at the Canadian Marine Animal Research Center, she once heard some marine scientists discussing this issue, and these scientists could only cite some specific examples from human history. Bobo heard them say that the Titanic, because a movie was made about it, had become known to people all over the world. The Titanic sank in 1912, but more than seventy years later, in 1990, two survivors of the Titanic were found on an iceberg in the North Atlantic. One was a passenger on the ship, and the other was the captain of the Titanic. By age, they should have been over a hundred years old, but they showed no signs of aging. Moreover, no matter how others explained it, they insisted that it was still 1912, not 1990. This event could only mean that they had entered the ocean time tunnel due to an unknown reason, which erased some parts of their lives and slowed their aging. Bobo also heard them say that a submarine built by the former Soviet Union, in 1986, was sailing underwater in the Bermuda Triangle. One minute later, when it surfaced, the crew found themselves thousands of miles away in the Indian Ocean. During this journey that crossed half the Earth, all ninety-three crew members of the submarine suddenly aged by five to ten years. After this incident, the former Soviet military and scientific community immediately began investigating the submarine and all the personnel, believing it was highly likely that the submarine had passed through the ocean time tunnel and was affected by its influence, causing the crew to age so rapidly in the blink of an eye. Bobo also heard them say that in 1945, the U.S. "Indianapolis" cruiser was sunk in the South Pacific by a Japanese submarine. This was one of the most tragic events in U.S. history, with over a thousand people losing their lives. However, forty-five years later, in the Sibuyan Sea off the southern coast of the Philippines, an SOS distress signal was received, and a naval lifeboat was found carrying twenty-five soldiers. They were all crew members of the "Indianapolis." Despite nearly half a century passing, they were still as young as they had been back then. These soldiers firmly believed they had been adrift at sea for only nine days, not forty-five. Such events have occurred all over the world, and there are many academic papers on human research into the ocean time tunnel.
