Chapter 65
More than 10,000 years is enough to change the coastline of the mainland, but basically it is not too far from the current coastline - basically a gap of tens or hundreds of kilometers, and for the submarine plate, more than 10,000 years is simply an instant, and the movement of the plate is probably only in meters. The dots on this metal plate are basically located in a relatively deep sea, and it stands to reason that the bottom of the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic zone is not suitable for underwater cities, but who knows what this "super-civilization" will want to do? Maybe people can use geothermal energy as an energy source.
This is a very reasonable assumption, and of course it would make it easier for countries on the East Asian continent to investigate these sites, at least much closer to them than the Yankees. Time has passed, and almost three years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, there were no earth-shattering events, and due to the resumption of fishing in the North Pacific, the fishery crisis that could have occurred - mainly the crisis between the mainland and Japan - was passed without danger, and there was still a great development.
There are more fish in the sea than ever before, and there are more large tuna that can be caught at high prices, and although the recovery of the fishing grounds in the East China Sea can be said to be the worst, at least there are some fish, so that you don't go out to sea all day and catch nothing. But all this was bought by the fisherman with his life.
Sea Dragon's uninhabited islands in Indonesia's easternmost archipelago are now known as the Sea Dragon Island Reserve, the largest and deepest sea in the world, the Philippine Sea. Don't look at this guy who has been honestly staying around for all these years, and has not returned to the waters of Northeast Asia where he was first discovered - this sea area that is believed to be the original distribution of sea dragons, at least both the mainland and Japan think so, and even the sticks have been shouting that sea dragons are distributed in their waters, and this should be the case in history.
However, this does not mean that the fishing industry in Northeast Asia is safe, not to mention the inevitable waves and storms at sea, as well as operational accidents, and the Sea of Japan, which is now rich in fishery resources, and the warm current area, there are many more large "monsters" that can attack fishing boats. The most of them are those large squid and octopus, these monsters with a body length of more than ten meters and twenty meters can only see a dead one in the past under extremely rare circumstances, and most of them are still dead in the deep sea and washed ashore, but now, these monsters violate the law and actually haunt the upper sea.
These large octopus squids have a penchant for attacking ships, but strangely enough, these monsters seem to be keen on sinking ships rather than eating the fishermen inside, and of course there is an explanation for the "octopus pot", and the nature of cephalopods is to seek out such shipwrecks or something like that to use as a nest...... And this kind of creature has flourished over the years, maybe there aren't enough nests on the bottom of the sea? Of course, this is basically nonsense.
The octopus squid is one of them, and the other is the high-priced swordfish and swordfish, which seem to have fully recovered their populations, and large individuals that have only been seen in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have sprung up over the years. They are also very dangerous – swimming at high speeds often storming fishing boats, a behavior that has never been reported before, causing serious damage to small and medium-sized fishing boats. "A complete change in biological behavior...... What the hell is going on?" and countless marine biologists have been puzzled by what the hell is going on.
It is not terrible for the fishing boat to be pierced, anyway, it is a breach in the hull that is roughly between 10 and 20 centimeters in diameter, and the speed of the sea water pouring in is not fast. But it's also very troublesome to be stabbed in a dozen or twenty of these holes in one go, but the real trouble is usually after the fish have passed. Whether it's a swordfish that's five or six meters long, or a swordfish that's four or five meters long, they're not at the top of the ocean's food chain right now, and they're always followed by the top ocean hunters chasing schools of swordfish and swordfish.
Normally this animal is a killer whale – so it's a good luck for the fishermen, these dolphins are very friendly to humans, they don't attack fishing boats, and sometimes they even lift fishermen who fall into the water to save them from drowning. But sometimes if you're unlucky, you'll be followed by a school of dreaded megalodons or a school of sword-shot fish, and that's a disaster for the fishermen.
Usually in this case, there is not one survivor in ten. The appearance of the megalodon has been carefully studied by ecstatic marine paleontologists over the years - the first is to overturn the restoration of the past, and this guy is by no means a simple magnified great white shark. The megalodon does resemble the great white shark, but it has a proportionally shorter and flattened "nose" than the great white shark, which makes it look a little more menacing and more suitable for opening its mouth to bite undisturbed.
And this nose is also very hard, the structure of cartilage tissue is very suitable for collision - this is also their usual hunting habit, from below to hit the whale above, even rush and bite, one time to solve the whale's life, even if it is not bitten, this nose is enough to make most of the attacked whales break their vertebrae, internal organs rupture and bleed. And now, they're using this against fishing boats......
Ten fishing boats that go out to sea, under normal circumstances, four or five will meet a school of sailfish, one or two will meet a school of big octopuses or big squid, and then seven out of ten will meet a school of killer whales. This is the luck of the fishermen near the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the fishermen near the west coast of Japan, thanks to years of indiscriminate fishing of whales and dolphins, are 70% likely to encounter huge sharks or schools of swordfish, which you will not encounter if you fish in the East China Sea, because you can only catch some skinned fish or something.
In this way, about four out of ten fishing boats will not return, and one out of ten fishermen will die if they go to sea, so a large number of small and medium-sized fishermen will go bankrupt and be merged by large fishing companies, but large fishing boats are just as dangerous when they go to sea - because if they are at sea for a long time, some mysterious events will happen...... Inexplicably, someone will go crazy and jump into the sea.
Hong Long has now noticed the change himself, although his body has not grown in size now, but strangely seems to have some kind of supernatural sensation in himself - that is to say, he seems to be equipped with radar, and can detect a radius of about ten kilometers around him - this was not in the past, although in the past his ears were basically equal to underwater sonar, but there was no radar function on the water. Thanks to this, this guy has been reducing his activity more and more recently - because the success rate of predation is almost 100 percent......
The Sea Demon has a regular habit of raiding a group of fishing boats, but now that there are no boats, it will occasionally attack freighters, but recently it has switched to attacking fishing villages offshore......
