Chapter 1017: Captivity

Coast Guard people, based on sonar data recordings, plotted the mysterious guy's real-time swimming on the fish detector screen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was confirmed that it was indeed not a cetacean, but a super-large animal that resembled a jellyfish swimming and swimming!

As for how big it was, when the ship's underwater imaging sonar was turned on, it simply stunned the guards on this patrol ship!

At present, the technology of underwater optical camera system is not mature, and underwater imaging sonar can produce high-definition sonar images with almost the same image quality in the water, and clearly depict its accurate shape.

As soon as Han Xuan got off the helicopter, the lieutenant colonel hurriedly led him from the deck to the observation room and showed him a printed black and white picture.

Rubbing his hands back and forth, he said with an excited expression: "This is the picture we just captured, as you said, this is indeed a sea monster in the shape of a squid."

God, do you know how big it is?

According to our estimates, it could be 26 meters! The error is no more than 3 percent!"

Han Xuan picked up the paper and looked at the pattern on it, he had already guessed that it was a king squid just now, and at this moment he confirmed his thoughts, he was happy and nervous, and asked the other party: "Didn't you lose it, is it possible to drive it back to the sea?"

"Well, it's still under our tracking.

It responds to sonar, which means that the guy has hearing.

Deliberately avoiding the path of our ship, and cunningly, trying to escape into the deep water, at least one more ship can encircle and drive it out.

Do you want to live? Can a corpse with only a little wound?

It would be a shame if it escaped, I have lived at sea for more than twenty years and have never seen this animal with my own eyes.

I heard that when the destroyer USS Stan was repairing in the port of San Diego a few decades ago, many lacerations and animal claws were found on the sonar hood, but it seemed to be an animal called the Antarctic squid, which was more similar to it......"

The head of the patrol ship named Skrin replied.

I was probably tired of the boring training cruise all day, and when I encountered such a rare thing at the moment, my expression was very excited, and I wanted to fire a cannonball now and blow it up.

Han Xuan stood in front of the radar screen, looked at several light spots on it, especially the one that was specially marked, and said: "Pay attention to the whales around, they have a strong response to sonar, which can easily cause whales to lose their direction and run aground."

I haven't figured out what to do with this king squid yet.

Deep-sea fish like this tend to die soon after leaving the surface due to pressure changes.

There have been reports of king squid and sperm whales fighting on the surface, which means that they can leave the surface for a short time, and may not be able to live in shallow waters at all.

I don't know the structure of this mollusk, and no one can give an answer, so let's drive it to the offshore and see.

If it unfortunately dies, use it as an experimental specimen, and there should be a lot of king squid in the deep sea, and their remains are often found in the stomachs of sperm whales......"

In the past, it was found that the king squid was mostly the corpse of a squid that had washed up on the shore or in the shallow sea.

Because this animal lives in the sea below 1,000 to 2,000 meters, where the light is very weak, the king squid has eyes bigger than a basketball, and in the shallow sea, due to the strong light, it can be instantly blinded.

And because the pressure is reduced, the muscles of the king squid will become loose and weak, and then die, just like people have never seen live hairtail fish and squid in the market......

Another ship also arrived from a jurisdiction dozens of nautical miles away after receiving the order.

The king squid's movement speed was as high as thirty-six kilometers per hour, and if it hadn't been able to continue to move at full speed, Han Xuan would have almost lost it.

Under the interference of sonar and several underwater bombs, it finally changed its course and began to flee to the shallow water on the shore according to Han Xuan's expectations, probably losing its way and making its route difficult to figure out.

The surrounding cetaceans lie down and often jump out of the sea in a rage under the interference of sound waves, and flee far away.

Normally, when the Navy encounters large marine mammals, it will voluntarily turn off sonar, but today is a bit of an exception.

The Great Penguin was originally going to catch the sea monster, but when she heard about its size, she went back in a huff.

No way, the fishing net is too small to fit two bus-length king squid......

The stalemate lasted for several hours, and the people who remained on the shore waited for news until the afternoon when they finally heard that the boats had appeared a few kilometers offshore.

Thinking that he had caught it, he hurriedly packed his things and set off for the location they said.

And Han Xuan is here.

He was standing on the deck at the moment, looking at the huge pale red squid legs that were several stories high, and Anya next to him was already frightened.

Originally, this king squid, which was easy to bully, had been forced to have no way out, and the water depth was less than 100 meters.

Who knew that a two-cargo killer whale suddenly appeared just now, probably wanting to use it as food, ready to snatch it from under the hands of the three warships, and the oversized squid suddenly went berserk!

Now it's using a suction cup to wrap around the adult killer whale.

People were horrified to find that it actually knew how to use one of its claws to plug the vent at the top of the killer whale's head!

It seemed that killing whales had gained experience and knew where their weaknesses were, and Han Xuan finally understood why the gray whale in the morning was not fatally injured, but why it died.

Like the killer whale in front of him, who was about to run out of oxygen, he was suffocated to death by the king squid covering his "nose"!

Both often appear on the surface of the sea and sink again.

The waves stirred up by the fight were six or seven meters high, and the long legs of those squid were out of the water, dancing like snakes, this scene was shocking!

The reporters who were filming on ABC TV were shaking their hands.

Knowing that this animal was afraid of ultrasound, the captains of several warships ordered to strengthen the deep absorption frequency at the same time, and soon saw a murder whale covered in red circles, fleeing far away in a panic, and the deaf and blind king squid was powerless to float on the sea.

Looking at the tentacles that still writhe, it shouldn't be dead yet......

Despite the fact that this squid is huge, it is not too heavy, so it called the Great Penguin again, carefully loaded it with the largest fishing net, and slowly dragged it to the artificial bay of the Gambo Sea Ranch.

The water in the bay is not deep enough, it is still too small, but for the time being it is only suitable for storage.

During this period, Han Xuan received many phone calls, most of them presidents of some well-known universities, including Brown, Harvard, and Cambridge.

They were asked to pass on the news that they would rather have only the body than let it go, which was a major biological discovery.

But the king squid, who seemed to be stronger than people thought, lay motionless at the bottom of the sea outside the window of his room that night, with some pale blue blood on his body.

When Han Xuan got up the next day, he thought it was not dawn.

Then I found out that the big squid had blocked all his windows...... (To be continued.) )
