NA0944 Crayfish Re-Evolution?
The Ohio III Hydropower Plant, near the banks of the barrage, is being investigated by the Mississippi River Authority to deal with crayfish.
"Ames, did you bring a magnifying glass?" Jerry asked a subordinate on the technical team.
Ames, a young black man, took out a magnifying glass, handed it to Jerry, and said, "Hey, boss, there's something wrong with this crayfish!"
Jerry nodded as he used a magnifying glass to check the position of the crayfish's mouth.
Tyke waited patiently on the side, he knew Jerry's ability, he didn't mean to command an insider.
After about a minute, Jerry took a deep breath and looked at the management manager of the Ohio III Hydropower Station, "Manager Calvin, you should have divers at the hydropower station, right?"
Calvin nodded affirmatively, "We have two divers, and we have divers every two days to check the condition of the lower level of the dam. ”
"And you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?" Jerry raised his voice.
"Wait a minute. Calvin didn't respond immediately, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, and after waiting for the other side to answer, Calvin took a step forward and said, "Bob, did you and Bart find any problems when you dived yesterday?"
Bob responded, "No, Calvin, what's going on?"
Calvin didn't answer Bob's question, he just asked again.
Bob still swears, "We really didn't find a problem. Calvin, Bart and I have been working for over a decade, and we are well aware of the importance of our work. ”
"Okay, you contact Bart, you guys come over now, we're in C8. Calvin ordered and hung up the phone.
Calvin put down his phone, looked at Jerry and said, "There's no problem on our side!"
Jerry frowned, "You went into the water to check, what is the main thing to check?"
Calvin did not hide it, "We mainly inspect the condition of the dam, through ultrasonic detectors, to determine whether the dam has cracks and damage, and whether there are aquatic animals and plants attached to the surface of the dam, and if there are aquatic animals and plants, we must organize personnel to clean up." ”
Jerry sighed, "Haven't you checked the bottom of the water?"
"What do you mean?" Calvin hesitated, "the foundation of our dam is stable, and with the weight of the dam itself, it is almost impossible for the bottom of the water to be a problem. ”
Jerry raised the crayfish in his right hand, "I doubt these crayfish have the ability to make holes in the water!"
"Impossible!" Tek retorted without hesitation.
Although crayfish can live in water, the cave of crayfish is not completely submerged in the water, and there must be an area above the water surface in the cave.
If you have ever caught a crayfish, you will know that the entrance and exit of the crayfish's burrow must be above the water.
"Why is it impossible?" Jerry handed the magnifying glass to Tek, "pay attention to the position of its mouth, if you find an anomaly, the mouth of this crayfish has been mutated, a bit like the structure of fish gills, I suspect they even have fish-like swim bladders in their bodies!"
Tyke looked at the crayfish's mouth through a magnifying glass, and sure enough, he found a structure that resembled the gills.
"These crayfish," Tyke gritted his teeth, "what the hell is going on?"
"The New York Biological Laboratory has determined that these crayfish are from Xia Guo, and the FBI has also determined that this batch of crayfish did enter through Xia Guo, and they found that the people entering the country used false identities and cleared all security surveillance records. Jerry explained the situation.
In addition, the CIA found the bounty quest for this batch of crayfish entering the country on a dark web forum in Xia Kingdom, but failed to find the quest recipient, and only determined that the character publisher had posted a bounty quest for attacking Neon Taiji Town. Jerry continued.
"So I suspect that these crayfish are a deliberate biological attack from an organization that has been genetically modified to engineer them and put them into the Mississippi River for experimentation. Jerry voiced his guess.
If Gu Kaiwen heard Jerry's speculation, he would definitely say that Jerry's imagination was too rich!
"Director, we now need to send the crayfish to New York for dissection, as well as genetic sequences. "By the way, Manager Calvin, we're also going to need your divers to search the water extensively for crayfish burrows, especially the bottom of the barrage dam reservoir and the surrounding banks below the surface. ”
Calvin also realized the seriousness of the problem, if these crayfish could really burrow underwater, it would be a little too much of a threat to the dam!
"I immediately arranged to find an underwater crayfish burrow. Calvin responded.
Tek also responded, "I'll immediately contact the New York Biological Research Laboratory and send the crayfish samples here." ”
The next day, the first day of September.
Jerry was checking on the C8 area of the Ohio III Hydropower Station, where two divers, Bob and Bart, had been working intensively for nearly six hours.
Just as Jerry had guessed, Bob and Bart discovered a large number of crayfish burrows underwater!
Jerry himself dissected more than 30 crayfish, and even though the New York Biology Laboratory has not yet sent back the results, Jerry has determined that these crayfish have an underwater breathing gill structure and a swim bladder structure.
Such a result is terrible!
Crayfish have the ability to breathe underwater, which means that the crayfish's burrows can be anywhere, not just above the surface.
"Ames, you check the records to see if the crayfish's burrow was found underwater on the other side of the Mississippi River breach. Jerry asked.
"Wait a minute, boss. Ames responded.
After about five minutes, Ames finished reading the relevant records, and he shook his head at Jerry, "Boss, I didn't find anything like this, and I remember that we didn't find an underwater cave over there." ”
"Are you sure?" asked Jerry, looking at Ames.
Ames nodded affirmatively, "Sure, but we also found an anomaly problem, the length of the crayfish burrows on the other side of the embankment is more than the average record, and the longest is even nineteen meters!"
Jerry sighed, "I'm afraid it's the mastermind behind the genetic investigation, this time the crayfish incident, I think we should officially define it as a bioterrorist attack." ”
Jerry reported this matter to Tektronix, as for how Tek dealt with it, it was Tektron's business, anyway, Jerry had already reported it and recorded it, once serious consequences occurred to be held accountable, Jerry was not worried that he would take the blame at all.
Tektronix is also a smart person, he reported the matter as soon as possible, and when Tektronix reported it, the FBI, the CDC, and even the CIA sent personnel to investigate.
However, as the investigation progressed, they finally realized the seriousness of the problem!
