The observer stared at the computer screen, and kept counting the depth of Liu Wei's location.

"50 meters!"

"Immediate rescue!"

The lifeguards activated the lifeboat to hang up and observe the sea level, ready to go.

Liu Wei dragged the king squid out of the sea, and the squid still clinged to his body.

"There!"

The lifeguards determined the direction, increased the horsepower, and rushed away.

When the two lifeguards approached, they were stunned for a moment.

The king squid wrapped around Liu Wei is too big.

The tentacles that didn't wrap around Liu Wei fluttered on the sea, and they didn't know where to start?

As long as you stretch out your hand, you will be entangled by the king squid, and the lifeguard has no other protective equipment except for a life jacket, so it is difficult to fight this huge king squid.

Liu Wei's right hand stretched out of the water and waved the harpoon a few times.

The lifeguard received the message conveyed by Liu Wei, took the harpoon from his hand, and stabbed the carcass of the king squid without hesitation.

One hit hits.

Suddenly, the surrounding sea water was dyed a dark green.

The king squid quickly extended its wrists and feet to wrap around the harpoon, and the lifeguard immediately let go.

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his mask, grabbed the lifeboat with both hands and climbed up.

Then operate the lifeboat to follow the king squid, and when it releases the harpoon, grab the harpoon and drag it onto the lifeboat.

The king squid's vitality is very tenacious, its tentacles and brachiopods are moving, fully deployed, covering most of the area of the lifeboat.

Seeing this, the two lifeguards took a few steps back, and Liu Wei smiled, "Don't be afraid, it has no strength!"

With that, tie its carcass to the lifeboat.

The camera focused on the king squid, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Brothers, this guy almost killed me in the deep sea!"

Let's take a closer look!"

"Looks weird, isn't it? I'll tell you more about its body structure.

First of all, the flesh fin!", Liu Wei reached out and pinched the topmost part of the king squid, "The meat fin is the fins that grow on the body of mollusks such as squid and spear squid, and they rely on meat fins to swim.

The king squid has short fins, so it doesn't swim very well, which is the main reason why I was able to drag it out of the deep sea!

The king squid floats in the deep sea, mainly relying on ammonia ions in the muscles of the head, carcass and wrists, which are less dense than seawater and can provide buoyancy for the king squid. ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and gestured, "From the top of the fins to the top of the eyes, there is a carcass, and the part between the carcass and the wrists and feet is its brain, the brain of the king squid is very small, and the eyes account for one-third of the entire brain, like this size of the king squid, the weight of the eyeballs can reach twenty or thirty kilograms."

Its vision is very good, and the retina of the eyeball is filled with highly sensitive cells to capture the faint light of the weak light layer, which is most likely from its food!"

"Damn, thirty kilograms of eyeballs!

"I always thought that except for the antennae, there were squid's heads on it!"

"I've gained knowledge!"

Liu Wei continued, "Next is the most creepy body part we have seen, the wrist and feet, the wrist and foot of the king squid are the main weapons it uses to hunt, and there are many suckers distributed on it, and when attacking, the suckers quickly unfold, and then retract, suck the prey to death, and then fix the prey through the barbs on the suckers, and then eat."

The two longest are its tentacles, the front of which is the tentacle spike, which is used to sense and test the prey, and at the same time, there are strong muscles on the tentacles, which are used to wrap around the prey, and the feeling is like a python wrapped around the body. ”

Liu Wei reached out and grabbed the tentacle of the king squid, pinched it, and the suction cup turned over and protruded outward.

After letting go of his hand, he began to squirm on the lifeboat again.

I can't put that feeling into words.

Disgusting!

Less!

It's just that the whole body is uncomfortable, and the whole body is itchy.

"I can't measure the true length and weight of this king squid yet, but intuitively, he should be more than ten meters!" Liu Wei said.

At present, the longest known king squid in the world is 13 meters long, including the length of the tentacles, which are nearly two-thirds the length of the entire body of the king squid.

The Dream used a crane to fish the king squid vertically onto the deck.

The crew was stunned.

"It's too big!"

"I've never seen a squid this big!"

"It's scary, will it eat people?"

Liu Wei called two bold young men to pull the tape measure to measure.

The measurement is 11.3 meters!

If you go out its tentacles and brachiopods, the head and carcass are less than three meters long.

Not as scary as the legend suggests.

Liu Wei looked at the king squid hanging vertically on the crane with satisfaction, "Brothers, it is the rumored sea monster that can wrestle with the sperm whale!"

"It's just a little longer on the wrist, the size of a sperm whale, you can't do it!"

"The sperm whale's favorite food is the king squid!"

"Those unscrupulous magazines mislead people!"

"I still thought that the king squid was really sixty or seventy meters long and could overturn a ship!"

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Those rumors are all fabricated because of domestic pseudo-science popular science books in the early years, including now, when you go to search for King Squid on the Internet, the pictures that pop up are also extremely exaggerated."

Here, I clarify, the king squid is not that terrifying at all, nor does it have the ability to counter-kill sperm whales.

The contrast is clear.

Based on scientific measurements from multiple entities, scientists have deduced that the female king squid of large individuals can reach 13 meters in length, about 2.25 meters in carcass, and weigh 280 kilograms.

On the other hand, the sperm whale can reach an average body length of 16 meters, weigh 40 tons, and large individuals can grow to more than 20 meters or 60 tons.

In fact, when the king squid encounters the sperm whale, it can only choose to escape or be eaten by the latter, and has no ability to resist at all.

It is precisely because the sperm whale likes to eat mollusks such as king squid that it has evolved excellent diving ability and often dives into the deep sea to hunt king squid.

Of course, in the process of resisting, the king squid will also use its tentacles and wrists and feet to absorb the head of the sperm whale, but it will not cause damage to the sperm whale, only leaving some traces of the sucker.

In the end, the king squid still couldn't escape the result of being devoured, and the sperm whale had two rows of thick teeth on its lower jaw, and opened its big mouth, and swallowed the king squid in a few bites!"

"Hahahaha, the anchor has a good image!"

"I followed along!"

"Anyway, is the king squid delicious?"

"It's definitely delicious!Sperm whale favorite!"

Liu Wei was communicating with the audience in the live broadcast room, and the message from the bridge came, "Captain, satellite phone!"

Liu Wei climbed onto the bridge to answer the phone, "Hello! This is the Dream, I'm Captain Liu Wei!"

The other end responded: "This is the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we got the information, the Dream has caught a king squid, Captain Liu Wei, are you going to deal with it?"

"Eaten?" Liu Wei said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, "Captain Liu Wei, is the captured King Squid still alive?"

"It's dead!"

"Captain Liu Wei, China lags behind the developed countries in the world in the study of marine life, the Chinese Academy of Sciences hopes that you can take good care of the body of the king squid, when the Dream is reversed, we will go to the consignment back and make a live specimen, if it can be preserved, it will be the world's largest king squid specimen!"

"I understand!" Liu Wei responded!
