Chapter 149: Antarctica

That jade bone, Professor Zhao was deeply impressed, how could he forget.

"Of course I do, but neither I nor the researchers involved in the identification are sure if it's a bone or not. Professor Zhao said.

"I have two complete bird bones in my hands that resemble jade bones. It's crystal clear, it's better than the bone I showed you earlier, it's very complete, and it's a one-legged bird when it's stitched together. Mo Fan said.

"One-legged? You found it at the Mobian ruins. ”

"Yes!"

"One-legged, quezamobia, sun god bird...... The red-crowned crane with a red head does not eat grains, has a green fire on its body, and has two wings and one ...... feet" Professor Zhao remembered the oracle bone inscription of Queza Mobia in the Oracle Bone Inscription at the Mobia site. In the professor's cognition, these are legends and myths, like the bizarre recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

"I don't know if there is fire on the body, but it is indeed one-legged. And there are two pairs of bird bones, both of which are one-legged. ”

Mo Fan successfully piqued the professor's interest.

Professor Zhao took a deep breath: "You won't deliberately say something in Tahiti to trick me, or do you want to know more about the octopus monster?"

"You don't necessarily know more about the octopus monster than I do. Mo Fan habitually took out a cigarette, Professor Zhao also lit one, Mo Fan continued: "Do you know how big the octopus monster is?"

"I don't know. ”

"The octopus weighs 3,200 tons, which is the weight of its death and weighed in sections. When it was alive, it should have weighed more than 3,500 tons. The largest known creature on Earth today is the blue whale, which is usually 22-33 meters long and weighs between 150-240 tons. In other words, the octopus monster weighs more than 14.5 times that of the already largest blue whale. Mo Fan paused to give the professor time to digest, and then continued: "The octopus monster's brain is 40 meters in diameter, and its eight tentacles spread out occupy five to six football fields...... In addition, there are more than 400 billion neurons in the octopus brain, compared to 86 billion neurons in the human brain. ”

Professor Zhao took a deep breath: "I want to see the two pairs of bird bones in your hands. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. ”

"It's Tahiti, you have to go there yourself. ”

"Okay. Professor Zhao nodded: "If you want to know more information about the octopus monster, I can tell you, but you can't reveal the news to the outside world." ”

"Yes. ”

"I went to the National Science Park the other day and heard a few researchers talking about octopus monsters, they were all my students, I was curious and asked, and they told me some less important information. Professor Zhao touched his chin: "They first said that the Tahitian sea monster is real." He also said that some time ago, an Antarctic fishing boat in our country caught an octopus monster. ”

"The fishing boat caught it?" Mo Fan's eyes widened, Mo Fan's combat power of the octopus monster was clear, and it was impossible to kill the octopus monster without using torpedoes and these weapons. Moreover, the 100-meter Antarctic fishing ship encountered an octopus monster, not to mention hunting, whether they could protect themselves or not is a problem.

"Too specific information they didn't disclose. If you want to know, you'll have to ask Geeyang's father, I don't know if he will tell you. ”

"Father-in-law, what is his position? Curious. Mo Fan shrank his head and said with a hippie smile.

Professor Zhao knocked Mo Fan: "In the heart of the commander-in-chief of the Antarctic scientific expedition, the head of the organization department." Tell you clearly, if you have a military background, you have to dare to be sorry for Yangyang, hum! Professor Zhao said with a smile.

Belch?

The legend of China's eight overseas military bases is true.

Mo Fan was in awe in his heart: "Is it a very big officer?"

"That's not it, Geeyang's father is a party position. These are complicated, and Geeyang's father is the second-in-command of the base......"

"That Mengxi's father. Mo Fan thought of the yacht that was sold to Meng Xi cheaply before, and he should not have made a mistake.

"Meng Xi's father is a scientific researcher. ”

That's good.

Back to the previous topic. Mo Fan knew too well the fighting power of the octopus monster, and said: "I have personally come into contact with the octopus monster, it has a ferocious temperament and infinite strength, and the blue whale of several hundred tons is just a toy in its hands. I estimate that it is unlikely that a hundred-meter fishing boat would want to hunt an octopus. ”

"I don't know what else happened in this. It may be that the military really hunted it, but it may not be ......"

"October. The Antarctic expedition has officially begun, and all kinds of supply ships have been sent back and forth, hoping not to encounter the octopus monster again. ”

Professor Zhao was a little worried: "Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky. Tell us why you're interested in octopus monsters. ”

"Didn't I tell you about the origin of the jade bones before? I bought a yacht and came back, ready to set out to find the island in some time. The bones of the spirit beasts that turn into jade are quite rare, and maybe there are other discoveries from them. If I have enough time, I'm going to go to Antarctica. And the first place where the octopus monster appeared was in Antarctica. ”

Professor Zhao handed Mo Fan a cigarette, and he also lit one: "There are many unknown risks in the Antarctic waters, and your ship must be big and strong enough." ”

"Nameless. ”

Professor Zhao was puzzled, and Mo Fan continued: "A 225-meter superyacht with ice-breaking capabilities. It cost me nearly 10 billion. ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Professor Zhao choked on his cigarette: "Ten billion." You...... What a loser. ”

"It's just 10 billion, drizzle. ”

"I don't bother to talk about you, it's your own money anyway, how you like to spend it. As long as you are careful and have a plan. ”

"Rest assured, supporting the operation of a yacht is not a big problem in terms of my financial resources. ”

"If you're going to Antarctica, you'd better find a few more experienced people. You can find your father-in-law in this regard......" Professor Zhao said and laughed, "In addition to scientific research work, the Antarctic Station also accepts business tourism, so let him arrange a few reliable and experienced guides for you." ”

"Hmm. Thank you grandpa. ”

"You kid...... Why do you have to go to Antarctica now? "Professor Zhao is actually itching, he has never been to Antarctica, if it weren't for the arrangement of the work schedule, he really wanted to go over and take a look, and see the ice and snow world that he had handed over to his son for more than ten years.

"Curious. Mo Fan laughed.

Antarctica, Antarctica.

It was a truly mysterious world, covered with hundreds to thousands of meters of ice.

Many people may not know that the highest continent on earth is not the Asian continent with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but the Antarctic continent.

The Antarctic continent has an average elevation of 2,350 meters above sea level on its natural surface, much higher than Asia, the highest of several other continents. But if you strip away the ice sheet that covers the Antarctic continent, it has an average height of only 410 meters, which is much lower than the average height of the entire Earth's landmass.

Beneath the Antarctic ice, there are more than 200 identified subglacial lakes, some of which are really active and are called the Antarctic Subglacial Pipeline. Underneath the ice, meltwater flows within a vast and thin layer and passes through a cave system connected to it......

Here, the Antarctic continent is also considered to be a continent with ancient civilizations. There has always been 'Atlantis Antarctic Theory', Mo Fan found Atlantis, but it does not prevent empathy, the Antarctic continent may really have an ancient civilization, but it is another civilization.

Mo Fan chatted with the professor, and Zhao Jiyang helped his grandmother in......

"What are you grandparents talking about, look at the time. Grandma looked at the professor reproachfully.

"The two of us are bragging, and the excitement is rising. Professor Zhao looked at the time: "It's so late." ”

It was almost 12 o'clock, and Professor Zhao stood up and said, "Sleep, let's leave Tahiti tomorrow." ”
