The wound on Lila's body, which was more than a meter long, didn't affect her movement much after a few days. After all, the whale is huge, although Emile barks at a small Lila, but after all, it is also a behemoth born 4 or 5 meters long, and now it is almost 10 meters long. With medication-assisted treatment, Lila's ability to recover is amazing. After a few days of continuous treatment, Lila left in disagreement. She said goodbye to Emile and Zolin with a flap of her tail and swam north. Although it is not completely healthy, it seems to be okay that the diet of humpback whales is krill, which has little resistance. Aside from humans, humpback whales don't have much to worry about other creatures.

From Otto Island to Fox Island, it is all within the Aleutian Islands, but the distance in between is really not short. Luckily, you can run along a series of islands. Otherwise, if they all take the sea route, although Emile, who has now recovered most of his injuries, is not unbearable, but he still has to bring a Zuo Lin who goes to the water to compare vegetables, but there is nothing he can do. It took a full day and a night to reach Fox Island and quietly come to the ship.

The first thing Emile did when he arrived on the ship was to get into the bathroom and take a shower. According to Emile, she hadn't bathed in purified water for more than four months, and although she would wash it whenever she had the opportunity to find fresh water, it wasn't very hygienic after all. When he arrived on the ship, Emile knew that this was a return to the normal world, to the crowd and to human society, and that cleaning himself was the most basic requirement. What's more, it will be much more comfortable to clean yourself well.

In the harbor, with less than 10 people left on board, Clement was on duty on the ship and was overjoyed to see Zolin and Emile arrive.

"Zuo Lin, you also go to take a shower and change your clothes first. We've got a lot of things going on here in the harbor these days, hehe. ”

Clement was happy. Their siren is very famous now. These days, they have fabricated news that a group of whaling ships were attacked and sunk by whales in the North Pacific Ocean, and as a result, the Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched a large number of destroyers and submarines to escort the whaling crime. Actually, in a sense, it's not fake news. The Ben side could not come up with strong evidence to refute this group of reports, but the rows of well-known marine biologists on the Siren came out to criticize the Rì Ben side, as if they had endorsed this group of reports.

In a fit of rage, the U.S. side actually asked the U.S. side to hand over the Siren and its crew to the rì side, which really stabbed the hornet's nest. William's influence in the navy was extremely staggering, and less than an hour after the Rì side made such representations, the Rì side's destroyer fleet was constantly locked by the sonar of the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines, and even opened the water gate of the torpedo tubes several times to fill the water, although the relationship with the United States was good. The 88th Fleet of the 88th Fleet finally could not withstand the rotation of US submarines to lock on and provoke, and withdrew from the waters south of Otto Island. Immediately, all the whaling ships were forcibly boarded and inspected. Some of them were ordered to withdraw from the seas.

At this time, William was very happy to chat and play cards with the officers on the ship in the Fox Island base.

The sudden appearance of the Siren, a research ship with advanced equipment and full tonnage, also quickly attracted the attention of a team of scientists who were undergoing replenishment and training on Fox Island. This attention is all the more urgent when the Sirens are seen with a large number of names that appear frequently in various marine research forums and professional journals. While there are many scientists who are concerned about the wealth and popularity that under-the-radar research can bring, and the two are often closely linked, there are also many who have a very pure attitude towards scientific research. They may have to give a lot of lectures every year, but their sole purpose is to make more people aware of their research and their field of study, so that they can get more funding from private and groups to continue their research. The only thing that can firmly attract this group of people is better research conditions, that is, in general, adequate funding, good equipment, experienced support staff, open-minded, expert funders who do not place too many utilitarian demands on research, and research topics on the road. While there are a dozen or so old-looking research ships with a displacement of less than 300 tons in the harbor, the new sirens are dazzling. Scientists gathered around the Sirens to ask what kind of institution or individual could afford to raise such a research ship, and what kind of research they were conducting.

Holger and the others immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity. They have been lamenting for years that many promising research projects have been aborted because they are underfunded, because they are poorly staffed, and that many research materials are being used for commercial exploitation by funders with ulterior motives, while scientists are still struggling near the poverty line. Some organizations have even bribed some gunman scientists to defend their environmental destruction, but they have not been able to come up with convincing findings to refute them due to lack of research funding.

Holger, who raises money every year for a large investment in polar research, has a knack for interpersonal communication. He described the sirens and the funders behind their somewhat well-known researchers as mysterious, and interpreted their visit to the area as a way to reinforce the team by investigating summer whale activity. Some scientific teams with similar topics have begun to ask if they can be brought in and studied with them. Although Holger did not directly agree, he left plenty of room for subsequent contact.

"Isn't that great?" Zuo Lin was very concerned about such a thing, "After all, we can't stay on the ship all day and do research, if only there was a fixed research group, how good?"

Although Clement is also a scientist, he is closer to using his scientist identity to disguise his identity as a druid, unlike Holger and others, who are more obsessed with research. "There are outsiders on board, I'm afraid it won't be so convenient for us to use the boat in the future. ”

"We need convincing data and research results more than a convenient ship. When we really need to use the boat, do we lack a way?" In Zuo Lin's eyes, if there is an eyesore, he directly uses medicine to overturn and lock him in the cabin. When you get to the vast sea, you can't know the location or communicate with the outside, so it won't affect your actions at all.

"Then it's settled, I'll go talk to Holger when I get back. However, at least we have to go through a decent process, get someone to pretend to be a sponsor to get an interview or something for these guys, it's almost over, and it's time for our things to be over. Clement said with a very unashamed smile. Of course, this is just a procedure, Clement saw that some of those guys' research ships were still equipped with instruments and equipment from the 80s, and the living conditions were even more messy, and he still admired these guys who could persist in research under harsh conditions, and he would definitely make this "interview" look like some kind of vacation, so that these people could feel the warmth of the new owner.

"I promised Emile that the whaling industry would be completely destroyed. Zuo Lin said seriously.

Clement was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zuo Lin suspiciously and hesitantly. Without the expression of apprehension, worry or fear of what consequences Zuo Lin expected, let alone any admonition, Clement's face actually bloomed with a smile: "Have you finally made up your mind?" I have to clash with the whaling ship once or twice a year. Anyway, this time it's definitely going to be a conflict with Rìmoto.,It's better to make it bigger.。 If you don't get rid of that 88 fleet, it's also annoying. ”

Clement's words made Zuo Lin a little stunned: "...... You thing. ”

Without hesitation, Clement nodded and said, "Of course." I'm sure everyone will, no one on board likes Rì himself. …… When we get back on board, we'll discuss the plan. ”

That same night, they roughly settled on two plans to destroy the whaling industry. One is to sink all the whaling ships in Rìmoto, which is actually very difficult to do, because although the number of whaling ships in Rìben is not very large now, the tonnage and equipment are first-class, and the voyage time is very long, even now, it is very troublesome for the whaling ships scattered everywhere to know the exact location. This will be a difficult and long-term project. All they can do now is wipe out all the whaling ships in the entire North Pacific. Another way is to gradually kill or confine the captains who are capable of commanding whaling ships on land. Although the equipment is now advanced, whaling is still a highly skilled job, and the command of an experienced captain and a rookie captain is completely different. While these two programs are working in parallel, it is necessary to create as much as possible an atmosphere of terror that makes people see the whaling industry as a daunting path. As long as the development of the whaling industry is cut off for a period of time, due to the discontinuation of the practitioners in this area, due to the lack of information on whale tracking and so on, the whaling industry will actually be over.

Although there was a strong taste of yīn, Zuo Lin still nodded in agreement. From this day on, as long as it was within 500 nautical miles of their siren, any whaling ship would sink if it came along...... Methods, on the other hand, are in the study. Since it is a punishment, since it is clear that it is to kill chickens and set an example, then some special methods must be used. It's not cost-effective to be deformed and sink like Emile, and you can't say that you have to injure yourself.

Emile's eyes widened as he listened, not quite understanding what the whole plan was all about, but when it came to her and asked her to help her, Emile happily agreed.
