Section 11 Squidward
Lu Wu lay on the deck with nothing to do, feeling the scenery of the tropical sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The blue sky, the blue water, the water and the sky are the same color, and there are a few floating white clouds. In the distance, dolphins can even be seen flying out of the water from time to time. The only downside is that there are no seabirds like seagulls - there are no islands in the area, so there are no birds.
On the barbecue grill on the deck, freshly grilled fish skewers are placed. If you want to swim, you can enjoy the cool water nearby.
If it was Lu Wu before, he would probably feel that this kind of day was the rich life that he could not have hoped for. Yachts, the sea, vacations (this is barely a vacation). With all this, what more could a person want?
However, contrary to what he imagined, the current Lu Wu's mood and "leisure" can't even be touched.
On the deck, there was already a pile of porcelain, about a dozen pieces in total, all of which had been washed away from the accumulated dirt and restored to their original appearance.
There are several types of porcelain, some of which are plainly colored and obviously used in daily life, some are vases of luxury, and some are more precious, and the porcelain itself is made into special shapes, such as flowers and lotus leaves. The porcelain is all very well preserved on the seabed, with only two pieces slightly damaged. If it is sold as an antique, it will probably sell for hundreds of thousands. However, Lu Wu didn't really have much research on antiques, so he wasn't sure about it.
These are the fruits of a day's salvage of amber.
If the first time wasn't quite sure, then amber was pretty sure after three trips from the bottom of the sea. Bringing porcelain out of the water from a depth of several hundred meters is not an easy task, on the one hand, the speed cannot be too fast, and on the other hand, the distance from the bottom of the sea to the surface is too far. At the same time, the porcelain must be separated by a certain distance, and if it is too close, it will collide with each other due to the water waves. All of these factors add up to a rather inefficient job. Only a limited number of pieces of porcelain can be shipped at a time for amber. Worst of all, doing this job is a big drain on Amber's magic.
Yesterday, Amber was transported four times, so I had to obediently return to Holoera to replenish the power. Considering that one of them was to accompany Lu Wu into the water, the limit of Amber's ability was probably five times back and forth.
Lu Wu had personally witnessed the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, so he knew that the porcelain inside was conservatively estimated to be more than a few hundred. If we were to move it at this rate, it would take a few months, or even a little more, to salvage all the porcelain.
But in fact, the yacht could not hold up for such a long time.
Even if you don't consider the length of the yacht charter (which can be solved after the fact), in any case, the yacht must keep the fuel needed to return to the city of W. After deducting this, the time spent at sea is not very long - life at sea, such as water, electricity, etc., is ultimately fueled by fuel.
Originally, when the yacht was designed, it was not designed to let people sail so far. Although it has the ability to sail long distances (otherwise Lu Wu would not have rented this yacht), it is not a professional long-distance vessel. A professional salvage ship can stay here for a month or two, as long as people can hold on for three or five months, but a yacht, even if it only has two crew members, will stay here for more than ten days. A yacht is a yacht after all.
As a matter of fact, the idea of the five Lu people was to complete the salvage in a short period of time, preferably within two or three days. Originally, he thought that with the magic of amber it should be an easy thing to accomplish, but it turned out that it was not that simple. Both of them wanted to be crooked. Lu Wu miscalculated the power of magic, while Amber confused the situation in different worlds. The two worlds of Earth and Vago are completely different in structure, and even the things that are outwardly identical, such as the ocean, are very different in nature. Although the ocean bottom of the other world also has ups and downs, it is by no means as exaggerated as that of the earth. In fact, according to Amber, the deepest part of the ocean in the other world is a hundred-meter god, and compared to the earth, the entire seabed can be called a flat river. And, naturally, because there is not much difference in depth, that world does not form an ecosystem of different depths at all.
After all, the Earth is a planet in this universe, and the world where Amber is located does not seem to have the concept of planets, galaxies, or universes at all.
Now Lu Wu began to feel that this matter was really not to blame Amber for being unreliable, and he hadn't even thought about it himself. But then again, it's really ill-conceived. To put it mildly, despite the same appearance, it is doubtful that the humans of the two worlds are actually one race, let alone the marine environment of the two worlds.
Either way, the plan now is to go back to the original one - in the beginning, Amber intended to use the Fifth Law magic to solve the problem. It is to use worthless food to buy some marine life to help salvage.
Now Amber is leaving to find a suitable helper who can help. And that animal, that is, an animal that has enough strength, intelligence and dexterity, and at the same time has free access to the deep and shallow seas, and above all is extremely widely distributed - that is the octopus.
Although logically speaking, there is no problem, but the actual problem still exists. That is, although octopuses are widely distributed, the sea is so vast that it seems that it is not so easy to find the right one.
"Partner," Lu Wu's headphones sounded the master's voice. "The Warlock is back. ”
As a thoroughly spirited creature, the master has a very keen ability to perceive energy.
"Coming back?" As soon as Lu Wu got up, he saw a huge tentacle appear on the edge of the yacht.
It was a very large tentacle, much longer than Lu Wu's height, the end was thin and flexible, gradually thickening in the middle, and it was covered with fleshy suckers, like a giant snake of different shapes, wrapped around the railing, and the end of the tentacle swayed in the air.
It's one thing to see those little octopuses in a restaurant, it's another to see these giant creatures in the sea. In fact, just seeing this wrist and foot can make people's hearts twitch uncontrollably. This is not the result of rational thinking, but of biological instinct.
The second wrist and foot heel extends over. A huge tentacle clinged to the yacht's railing, and then a large eye appeared at the lower end of the railing.
Lu Wu's eyes stared at this giant beast that suddenly appeared, although it was a huge creature, he didn't feel any shaking under his feet. Then, with dexterity and speed, the octopus lifted the power of the railing upwards, pulling its entire body out of the sea and climbing onto the yacht.
It was a gigantic creature indeed, and after it had spread its entire size, it had taken up most of the front deck of the yacht, even if half of its tentacles were still outside the ship's side. Its tentacles are probably because they are stretched out, and each of them seems to be much larger than that of the land five.
There is no way to describe this moment, but Lu Wu can only admit that he was stunned afterwards. Expectedly, Amber would have found a medium-sized octopus - just like the ones in the aquarium, as long as she had the strength to move a jar. Find a dozen such octopuses, and then you can start a full-scale fishing. But he really didn't expect such a behemoth to appear - to be honest, it looked perfectly in line with the criteria for a "sea monster", the kind that could tip a ship over and eat someone who fell overboard.
"Lu Wu, look, the helper I found. Amber's voice rang out just in time. It was only after hearing Amber's voice that Lu Wu found that his stiff body had regained its mobility.
Amber falls from the sky, and the translucent body is docked next to the octopus, and if you take a picture of this scene, you can deservedly name it "Beauty and the Beast".
Octopus, a mollusc, is the general name of the octopodidae genus (Octopoda family), which is a carnivorous marine mollusk. The octopus has large compound eyes and 8 retractable wrists on its head. Each wrist has two rows of fleshy suction cups. Octopuses have strong brachiopods and feet, and with the help of suction cups, they can often pull large stones that exceed their weight by 5, 10, or even 20 times their weight.
The octopus sucks water into the mantle and excretes the water through a short funnel-shaped tube after breathing. Most octopuses crawl along the bottom with suction cups, but when frightened, they will spew water from their body tubes, and the water sprayed is so strong that they quickly move in the opposite direction. When encountering danger, it will spray an ink-like substance that acts as a smoke screen. This creature has no bones, but it has a very good intelligence. According to scientists, octopuses have a "conceptual mind" and are able to solve complex problems on their own. It has three hearts, two memory systems (one is the brain memory system and the other is directly connected to the suction cup), the octopus brain has 500 million neurons, and some very sensitive chemical and tactile receptors. This unique neural structure gives it the ability to think beyond that of the average animal.
Lu Wu silently recalled the knowledge related to these octopuses in his heart, and looked at the behemoth that climbed to the deck without blinking.
This is a giant octopus that is much larger than the land five in size.
Octopuses are spineless creatures, so they can shrink into a ball and appear relatively small, or they can swell out to appear unusually large. Now this octopus is in a state of full body muscle opening, so it is extremely large.
Although octopuses have no bones, their strength is amazing. Just looking at it, Lu Wu instinctively knew that it only needed a light roll of his wrists and feet, and he could easily roll Lu Wu into the sea. Even if you don't go to the sea and do it on land, it can easily turn Lu Wu into lunch.
Well, anyway, in fact, in a word, this animal is dangerous. And this huge octopus, which climbed onto the yacht, is especially dangerous. The octopus is a carnivore! No one has ever been allowed to eat only fish or shellfish, not mammals. You must know that sperm whales are particularly fond of eating octopus, squid and other animals (so there is such a thing as Long Yanxiang), but scientists have also said that in fact, don't look at sperm whales that eat octopus and squid as their staple food, but there are many sperm whales that are eaten by giant octopuses and giant squid. In other words, octopuses don't have a problem eating mammals.
Looking at the huge eyes of the octopus, it was obviously hot tropical, but Lu Wu felt a chill down his spine. Lu Wu had already begun to regret why he had made that kind of suggestion. Even if you have a mobile phone and can connect to the Internet, you should go online and look for other animals.
"What do you think of calling it Squidward?" Amber said suddenly.
Lu Wu felt that this name was not appropriate at all, because even if the octopus brother in SpongeBob SquarePants was not cute, at least it would not be intimidating, but the huge octopus in front of Lu Wu could be seen at a glance as a very dangerous animal.
"That's a good name. Lu Wu replied. "Don't you think, though...... Is it a little too big?"
"Is it too big? I don't think so. Amber said. "But the kid is willing to help. ”
