The next day, Yang Yun and the other five boarded a transport ship bound for Sona Island, while Luo Gandao and Wang Aiai were arranged in the building. When Zheng Zha left, he deliberately left them a contact device, and the two sides agreed that as long as they came back from Sona Island, they would come to pick up the two and go back to the warehouse together, and the two sides would use the contact device to keep in touch.
As for Yang Yun's gambling offer, Chu Xuan finally accepted it, but it is unknown why.
Do you want to understand the meaning of human nature, or do you want to take a bet in your leisure time to relieve your boredom? I'm afraid only the author of the sixth order knows......
Thanks to the documents of the young man Jin, everyone arrived at Sona Island at about eight o'clock in the evening. As soon as the transport ship reached the outskirts of the island, the loud roar of wild beasts was heard from the island, and everyone finally saw the fleet around the island, consisting of several cruisers, several destroyers, and some small destroyers, and from the eyes of everyone, some small boats entered and exited the island from time to time, but it seemed that it was a combination of some researchers and soldiers.
The transport ship obviously also belongs to the formation of this fleet, not long after the arrival of the transport ship, the two small destroyers have approached the transport ship on the left and right, and then the handover of the army, Zheng Zha and the others do not understand these things, and they are too lazy to care, anyway, a few soldiers came to them after a short time, telling them that the small motorboat is ready, and they can take them into the fortification base on the shore of the island at any time.
The soldier, who was also a lieutenant, led the way and said to the crowd, "You are museum personnel who have come to collect specimens, right? I remember the day before yesterday the soldiers had just transported three Tyrannosaurus rex eggs ashore. How? Did you make a specimen?"
[Eh, I'm sorry, the three Tyrannosaurus rex eggs in your mouth seem to have been transferred, or are they ...... by our hands]
Zheng Zhe wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "Well, I have arrived at the museum, and I can make a specimen after the inspection." ”
The lieutenant only asked casually, and did not take it to heart. He then introduced to Zheng Zha and others: "Remember, don't go out of the tightrope cordon after going ashore, not only huge dinosaurs or small velociraptors, compared with dinosaurs, several insects are also terrifying." We have placed a lot of insect repellent and insecticide on the cordon, otherwise our soldiers would not have been able to dock......"
Terrible insects?
This information immediately caught Chu Xuan's attention, and he immediately asked, "What about insects...... Are the soldiers afraid of the number or size of those insects? As far as I know, ancient insects must have been very large, right?"
The lieutenant nodded, "Yes, these insects were normal, but a few months ago they began to grow in size, and their numbers began to increase rapidly, about a month ago, a mosquito was actually as long as an arm, and if it sucked blood, there could almost be a bullet hole in the arm...... But the strange thing is that after the beginning of this month, those insects began to die in large numbers, and they kept dying in large numbers, and it is for this reason that you were asked to collect the corpses of insects, right?"
Chu Xuan pondered what he remembered at the moment, Yang Yun hurriedly took over the topic and said with a smile: "That's right, that's the case, but the order above is to collect some plant specimens and fecal specimens, right?"
The lieutenant said casually: "Then I don't know, anyway, we are absolutely not willing to set foot on this island for half a step." At that time, in order to seize the high ground on the shore, we bombarded the high ground almost with naval guns for most of the day, and even the land dried up, but when we went up, dozens of people still died......
As they spoke, they had already moved from the transport boat to the edge of the boat, where a small motorboat was parked, and when the four of them had boarded the motorboat, the lieutenant drove the motorboat towards the island.
The crowd looked at Dinosaur Island from afar, and the island looked really beautiful. The island is covered with green trees, and the trees look very tall, although it is about eight o'clock in the evening, but the sunset is still lingering on the seaside, and the blood-red afterglow is reflected on the island, and the whole island looks as beautiful as a fairyland.
The lieutenant muttered, "Looks beautiful, doesn't it? This island used to be bare in many places, but I don't know why, but recently not only dinosaurs and ancient insects have appeared in large numbers, but also those ferns, don't look at those big trees. It used to be all ferns like ground grass, but now they have all become giant trees dozens of meters high, and the wood quality is surprisingly good, you don't know, those researchers are even trying to get some edible ferns out, so that the world can be fed and clothed...... A group of neuropaths. ”
The crowd didn't ask anything more. Just as the yacht continued to move forward, suddenly a fish full of carapace jumped out of the sea, the fish was four or five meters in size, fortunately did not hit the yacht, otherwise the small yacht would have been knocked over.
"I see......"
Chu Xuan lowered his head and muttered, and his voice could only be heard by Zheng Zhe and Yang Yun beside him. So Zheng Zha asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”
Chu Xuan said in a low voice: "I have read some papers that study the body types of ancient organisms. One of the corollaries is that the oxygen content at that time was higher than it is now, which led to the creation of gigantic organisms. ”
"At the same time, insects are in some ways a little more resilient than reptiles. But in some ways, life is much more fragile...... For example, with the current oxygen to continue to maintain that huge body, reptiles will feel very uncomfortable as if they have suddenly moved from flat land to the Tibetan plateau, so that it will take a long time to adapt. ”
"And if the insect body still keeps growing...... When you reach a certain distance, you can only die, there is no doubt about it. ”
"Is that the real reason why the lieutenant said that insects have been dying in large numbers since last month?" Zheng said.
Chu Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, I can probably guess the mad scientist's research, he should have researched some biological degradation substances or medicines, so that the reptiles within the scope of this island have a suitable environment for them to grow and reproduce, and those ferns have also begun to grow again, as for the kind of fish just now, it is also an ancient fish, a dire fish...... There may be other signs, but overall we're lucky. ”
Zheng Qi asked curiously, "Lucky? What kind of luck method can we call it lucky?"
"Yes, we were lucky. ”
Chu Xuan said extremely seriously: "Compared to those dinosaurs that can be killed by attacking with firearms, what is really terrifying are those insects. They may not be able to hurt a giant dinosaur, but what if those ancient insects attack us? Countless insects are enough to devour us...... If that's the case, it's a different kind of difficulty and another way to fix it. ”
"Insects, plants, dinosaurs, degraded agents, ......"
Listening to Chu Xuan's words, Yang Yun stared at Sona Island at sunset, thoughtful.
Chu Xuan, although your inference is very scientific, it cannot explain some other situations.
Degrading agents, can they really affect even plants, but why does it only affect the extent of the island and not spread?
And...... What about the dragon on the other island?
