Chapter Two Thousand One Hundred and Nine Killer Whales from the Abyss
"Steven, look at the coral reef in front of you, does it look a bit like an ancient wooden ship? Maybe it's the ancient Roman shipwreck treasure we're looking for!"
Chandler, the host of the National Geographic Channel who was sitting in the back row, suddenly pointed to a coral reef not far ahead, and said in a rather excited tone.
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian, who was also in this submarine, all looked at the coral reef more than ten meters away.
The brave man on the sea was the employees of the company who bravely explored the company, many experts and scholars, and the rest of the two live broadcast teams, as well as countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, all looked at the coral reef with great anticipation.
After pretending to look at it seriously, Ye Tian nodded and said:
"Not to mention, from a distance, the outline of that reef does look a bit like a boat, Charlie, drive the submarine over, get closer and take a look, and then use the robotic arm to break through the reef to see."
"Okay, Steven"
Charlie nodded in response, and then drove the seven-seater Aurora submarine over there.
At this time, it was already about eleven o'clock in the morning.
The sea ridge that Ye Tian and the others were exploring was the second sea ridge in the target sea area, and it was almost finished.
On the first ridge before, they searched one kilometer each in the north and south directions along the course of the ridge.
It's a pity that they didn't find anything, only enjoyed the beautiful underwater scenery along the way, crossed shoulders with countless sea creatures, and feasted their eyes once, but it was not in vain!
After exploring the first ridge and making sure that the Roman shipwreck treasure was not on it, they surfaced and returned to the Intrepid for repairs.
And those Mediterranean dolphins that have been following Ye Tian around him have been dismissed by him and gone to hunt in the distance, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they come back.
The two huge loggerhead sea turtles floated to the surface of the sea for a breath of air, and soon dived into the sea again.
The expeditionary fleet then set sail and continued westward to the second ridge, five or six nautical miles away, where it anchored.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and the others took two Aurora small submarines to the sea again and began to explore the second ridge to see if they could find anything.
After more than an hour of exploration, they found no trace of the ancient Roman shipwreck, except for a trawler that sank decades ago, and there were no other surprising discoveries.
Of course, the scenery on this ridge is also very beautiful, and the colorful Mediterranean corals are also valuable, but these are not the goals of the trip.
Seeing that the second ridge was about to be explored, Chandler suddenly discovered such a coral reef with a silhouette that looked a bit like a boat, and everyone's eyes lit up.
While speaking, the seven-seater mini submarine that Ye Tian and the others were riding on had already sailed in front of this colorful coral reef.
Another small submarine, which was traveling more than 30 meters away, also approached this side.
With the arrival of these two small submarines, many of the marine creatures that originally inhabited this coral reef immediately dispersed and fled to other places.
Waiting for the submarine to stop, Ye Tian carefully observed the reef, then shook his head lightly and said:
"This is probably not an ancient shipwreck or a native coral reef, but this boulder at the top of the mountain is relatively large and rectangular, and when covered with coral, it looks a bit like a ship.
But we still have to test it on the spot, Charlie, you drive the submarine slowly over, and when you get closer to a certain distance, Vitesse, you use the mechanical arm to cut a piece of coral down and see what is behind it."
As the words fell, the mini-submarine moved again, slowly approaching the reef.
When he was about fifty or sixty centimeters away from the reef, Charlie stopped the submarine and suspended in the sea as it clung to the side of the reef.
Then, under Vitesse's control, two robotic arms at the front of the mini-submarine poked out and slowly stretched out towards the reef, like two long tentacles.
When the two robotic arms came into contact with the reef, the chainsaw at the top of the robotic arm immediately spun at high speed and began to cut the beautiful corals that had grown for hundreds of thousands of years.
Seeing this scene, some so-called environmental activists in front of the live broadcast couldn't help but hate it to the root of their teeth, and they were all cursing Ye Tian with their throats, but they were helpless!
In just a few moments, a large piece of coral was cut off and fell to the ridge below.
Hidden behind the coral was a solid gray rock, not a decaying hull, not fine marble, or anything else.
This gray rock, which is the main body of this ridge, is nothing more ordinary, everywhere!
Seeing this result, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and sighed softly.
Of course, this does not include Ye Tian, he already knew that this was the result, how could he be disappointed!
Next, Vitesse retracted the robotic arm, and Charlie immediately activated the mini-submarine and prepared to leave the place.
At this moment, Matisse, who was in another small submarine not far away, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of this coral reef, and said loudly:
"Steven, be careful, there's a bunch of big guys swimming up from the deep sea behind that reef, and it seems that the people who are not coming are good."
Before the words fell, a large shadow had already risen from behind the coral reef, directly shrouding Ye Tian over the submarine they were riding, obscuring the sky.
In the next moment, in the two small submarines on the bottom of the sea, as well as the exploration fleet on the sea, and countless live broadcasts, an almost crazy exclamation sounded at the same time.
"Oh my God, that's a pod of killer whales, there's a small pod of killer whales in this area, it's incredible!"
"Wow! This scene is simply spectacular, who would have thought that such a group of killer whales would be killed halfway, and in such a way as to be almost sudden.
I wonder what these big guys mean? I wonder if Steven can perform a miracle again and become friends with these overlords of the ocean?"
Just when people were exclaiming, these killer whales that suddenly came up from the deep sea had already looked down at the two strange objects in front of them that were radiating strong light, and at Ye Tian and them in the cockpit of the submarine.
And everyone sitting in the two submarines, through the fully transparent glass cockpit, is also observing these sudden big guys.
Everyone looked dumbfounded, their eyes were round, and their eyeballs were about to fly out!
Obviously, everyone was scared, some were nervous, some were scared, some were even shivering, like Peterson on NBC.
However, a look of ecstasy flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
When you fall asleep, someone will send you a pillow! There is no doubt that this is definitely a group of right-hand men and a super gift sent to him by the sea god Poseidon!
Killer whale is a large toothed whale, adult killer whale is generally eight to ten meters long, weighs about nine tons, has a slightly round head, has a less obvious beak, high dorsal fin and erect, black and white body, very beautiful.
With its slender mouth and sharp teeth, it has an extremely fierce temperament, making it the top predator in the ocean, and extremely good at hunting, especially teamwork!
Killer whales have a variety of recipes, from penguins to seals, to other cetaceans, and even great white sharks.
Although killer whales are relatively friendly to humans, and it is rare to hear of wild killer whales hurting people, there have been several killer whale homicides, all of which have occurred in man-made marine worlds!
Coupled with their huge size and invincible attack power, anyone in the ocean will be terrified and terrified when facing a group of killer whales!
Killer whales are not only aggressive, but also highly social, and the family of several killer whale groups is one of the most stable families in the animal kingdom.
Some of their complex social behaviors, hunting techniques, and vocal communication methods are even considered evidence that killer whales have their own culture.
It can be seen that killer whales have a high IQ, even when compared to their close relatives, dolphins.
As an invincible and adaptable sea overlord, killer whales have a wide range of distribution and can be found in almost all oceans on Earth, from the equator to the polar regions!
The killer whales that appeared here at this time were a small family of seven killer whales.
Among them, there are five adult killer whales, all of which are more than eight meters long, and the two largest killer whales are even more than nine meters long.
In this killer whale family, there are also two baby killer whales, both of which are more than six meters long!
Looking up at these black and white behemoths suspended in the sea water above the submarine, gently swaying their bodies, Ye Tian's face quickly bloomed with an incomparably bright smile.
And he raised his hand and waved it lightly at these big guys, as if he was greeting his best friend.
Seeing this scene, everyone was amazed and secretly admired.
In this case, Steven can still laugh and dare to greet these sea overlords with a smile? That's him, who has the guts to change to someone else?
Just when everyone felt admiration, the next scene almost shocked everyone's eyes!
Those killer whales suspended in the sea seemed to feel the kindness released by Ye Tian, and a look of joy flashed in their small eyes at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, they swam to the top of the seven-seat Aurora small submarine, staring at Ye Tian in the cockpit through the fully transparent glass cockpit, nodding frequently, showing great intimacy.
Ye Tian got up from his seat, through the glass cockpit, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the cute behemoths outside, as if he was communicating with those smart guys!
Seeing such a scene, all places instantly exploded!
"I'll go! That's it, really, Stewin, this guy must have magic, it's incredible!"
"This is nothing short of a miracle! There is no doubt that Steven has become the master of this sea, and without his consent, no one will want to dive deep into the sea, let alone steal the treasure of the shipwreck with him!"
