CHAPTER XXXVIII

Here's how it happened, on this day the sea dragon unexpectedly changed its behavior pattern, and on the beach in the area of raging and dangerous reef rapids, with a steep mountain cliff in the background. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEvery time the flood is dormant, he looks for a place like this to spend twenty-four to forty-eight hours of dangerous shedding. Now he did the same trick again, stretching his body in this place and falling into a semi-comatose state.

For four hours, the sea dragon remained motionless, and of course the scientists immediately noticed the situation. The drone began to shoot at a low altitude, and from the footage, people saw that the sea dragon seemed to be in a state similar to the skin of a snake - the carapace on its body was gradually cracking. "We have to try, it's a rare opportunity. The manager in charge of the Hailong project said that since the boss has made a decision, then the wage earner can only do it.

Several "security guards" who had retired from the Marine Corps approached Honglong very carefully. The sea dragon did not react to this, and one of them dared to touch the sea dragon with his hand, and found that the sea dragon did not react at all, so he said a few words into the walkie-talkie. The other two worked together to glue the small device in their backpack to the sea dragon's neck, and the small tablet in their hands immediately showed the sea dragon's heartbeat, which was much slower than that of humans, about two beats a minute.

More people came to the sea dragon's side, and the scientists ventured to try to examine the sea dragon's body with various instruments, and after everyone dodged, one guy even risked his life to shoot a hollow syringe propelled by high-pressure compressed air into the crack in the carapace of the sea dragon's abdomen, and took a blood sample from it. Even so, Hong Long is still not sober. Now, you can be sure that the creature is in a slumber of shedding shells—the original hard carapace can now be peeled off with your hands.

People could finally rest assured that they would be able to judge the sea dragon as it was the last time humans could observe it from such a close distance. "What a beautiful animal. What kind of animal is it? We're finally going to have an answer. "A lot of equipment was connected to Hong Long's body, and the crane was also transported by helicopter to this rocky beach. A preliminary examination of the sea dragon concluded that it was a warm-blooded creature, and that Hong Long's blood had always been maintained at a temperature higher than that of the human body.

"It has two hearts! It's not a feature of any kind of creature, any kind of higher being!" "The scientists who checked the heartbeat found a new result, and they were able to confirm that the sea dragon had two hearts, which made everyone stunned. Of course, this is not possible, and a preliminary examination of the sea dragon's respiratory tract and appearance shows that this sea dragon is similar to a composite of reptiles and mammals, and it seems that it should have something to do with many fossils on the earth.

The most important thing now is to move the sea dragon to the transport ship - but this is a serious problem, as people look at the giant tiger fish cruising on the surface and say they are stressed. This tiger fish is no less powerful than the great white shark now, and in terms of size, this guy is almost close to the megalodon, and although this guy may not be able to attack large ships at sea, it is also very dangerous.

Pharmaceutical companies have money, they have money, and in this part of the country, they can do almost anything with money - such as hiring large lifting helicopters that were originally used by the navy. However, this is still a problem, because of Hong Long's body length and weight, the ch53 series helicopter produced by the rice people just can't fit, so only the Russian Mi-26 helicopter can transport this big guy. Nothing that can be solved with money is not a problem, under the emergency coordination, under the opening of millions of rice knives, only eight hours later, a Mi-26 came to the neighborhood. Twelve hours later, the Mi-26 was hovering in the air.

The sea dragon is still shedding, but people have used a crane to lift it to a metal grid platform, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars made of titanium alloy is light enough and tough enough to be hoisted after the sea dragon's body is fixed with the lock on it.

At this time, the carapace on Hong Long's body had begun to fall, and of course each piece of the carapace that fell was carefully collected. The hanging rope on the Mi-26 had been hung on the rigging point, the helicopter began to climb high, and the sea dragon gradually left the ground. On the surface of the sea, the tiger fish suddenly jumped out of the water, and then dived into the sea and disappeared.

Located in the innermost part of Norton Bay, the construction of the Sea Dragon Research Institute focused on the monitoring and installation of the sea dragon active area and the construction of research institutions, and most of the equipment has been installed overtime with the help of money - this moment the United States has recreated the speed of the construction of the Empire State Building in the last century and the efficiency of the repair of the Enterprise into battle. After the sea dragon was transported, it was first placed in the seawater, and the towing boat dragged the sea dragon with an airbag tied to it into a narrow tank.

The movable tank acts as a floating dock, lifting the sea dragon out of the sea while transporting the sea monster along the tracks. And in orbit, there are research facilities. First of all, of course, a three-dimensional scan of the sea dragon and an MRI examination were carried out at the same time, in order to be able to develop a drug to anesthetize the sea monster - so that it would be easier to study. In the rest of the sea, including land, everything remains pristine wilderness, except for the construction of floating barrage nets on the sea. The entire institute is surrounded by high walls, including a small airfield and a simple road to communicate with the outside world and transport supplies. The institute has its own power and satellite network, and pharmaceutical companies have invested a lot of money to do all this.

Of course, Hong Long has not woken up yet, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten hours for all the carapaces on his body to fall off, and then it will take about the same time for the new carapace to harden, and at that time, he will be active again. As a carbon-based organism, Hong Long does not have the so-called situation that cannot be scanned or examined, of course, scientists completed these examinations in the first time. "Two hearts, three lungs, four kidneys, and two stomachs, what kind of creature is this?!" After seeing the 3D mapping of Hong Long completed by the computer and the automatic conversion and filling of the MRI map, more than one scientist's original concept was shattered.

However, there is not much time left for them, and they must complete as detailed examination records as possible, while leaving enough tissue samples. Ten hours later, Hong Long was dragged to a beach very similar to when he had lost his shell, and the people left after the airbag was quickly removed. Now that there are enough cameras to monitor the creature, and a radio transmitter implanted in the sea monster's nascent carapace, they can now concentrate on their research.
