Chapter 992 "California Missile Crisis"
Two ships sail slowly on the surface of the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I knew that the ship was moving forward, but there were no references on the endless sea, and I could barely feel them moving.
The scene in Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" really appears on the blue whale, and a group of killer whales are eyeing this rare, easily accessible food.
They often emerge from the water, following this innocent blue whale with a tragic fate, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
In the wild, juvenile and sub-adult blue whales are often a meal on the plate of killer whales, and if there are enough members in the killer whale group, they can even kill adult blue whales.
One is the largest animal in the world and the most ferocious animal in the ocean.
Despite their large size, blue whales feed on plankton, filter seawater for food, have no teeth, and are not fast swimmers, making them no match for killer whales.
Hemingway's old man can't keep the big fish he lives on, but Han Xuan can.
The Snowy Mountain, which follows the carcass of the blue whale and makes a special sound underwater to drive away the whales, is equipped on the Riva yacht.
Originally, in order to prevent the blue whale from striking, these big guys relied on their strong bodies and did not look at the road when swimming, and many unlucky fishermen were knocked over by them in this way.
Due to the low power, the sonar did not work very well against killer whales, and the blue whale was bitten by them a few times after all.
Han Xuan was very distressed by this, and he also planned to make this unlucky ghost blue whale into a specimen and put it in his Candle in the Wind Building under construction as an ornament.
Fortunately, the bite was not too bad, and there is a way to remedy it, such a big blue whale is rare, and it is a pity to be thrown into the ocean to fend for itself.
The largest known dinosaur, Argentinosaurus, weighed only about 90 tons, and this big guy probably weighed twice as much, so it can be seen how big it is, almost the same as 180 Poohs.
Resist the harassment of various predatory fish along the way, and gradually approach the waters of California.
Jason was happy for hours after getting Han Xuan's promise of giving him a five-day vacation, planning to take advantage of this vacation to go to Las Vegas to find his little girlfriend.
By the way, I took her to the hospital, ten years ago I couldn't cure my eyes, maybe I can now, medical technology has advanced rapidly in recent years......
Han Xuan, a single Wang, was jealous of his show of affection all day long, and was mocking in a strange voice:
"She doesn't like you if she has bad eyes, and if she sees you like this, she may not like it.
What is it called...... Oh yes, see the light die.
Am I right, Anya?"
Anya wore a sunhat and looked at Jason with her lilac eyes under the white brim, and replied, "I think Mr. Jason is handsome."
The face and body are very suitable for sculpture, and I have been learning this recently, but instead of carving human figures, I mainly use animals. ”
Han Xuan saw that Jason heard this compliment, and his mouth was almost grinning, knowing that the taunt skill had failed.
pinched Anya's little face, and said helplessly: "Why don't you know how to cooperate with me?"
"I know, I just don't want to. ”
"Break up.
Don't ask, love ......."
The girl suddenly threw out a wide roll of her eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot......
At this moment, the fishing rod in front of Han Xuan moved.
I have slept in the morning, and there is no entertainment on the sea, so I can only rely on fishing to pass the time.
A few fish were caught before, but they were all released back into the sea.
This time, when he picked up the fishing rod, he clearly felt that the weight was full, and the whole rod was bent into an "N" shape, and if it were not for the good quality, it would have broken a long time ago.
Feeling that there were fish struggling, Han Xuan thought it was seagrass again at first, but when the thing came out of the water, he realized that it was not.
It is gray in color, about the size of two basketballs, and has an irregular shape.
Pull it up hard and throw it on the deck, squat next to it and poke it with a straw in a cup, it's hard.
The old man was lying in a chair reading a book, and he had recently become obsessed with Ni Kuang's Wesley series novels, which was not at all appropriate for his age.
The assistants and bodyguards did not know Chinese, and thought that this was some kind of famous Chinese book, which was used to cultivate sentiment.
Only Han Xuan knew that his old man actually fell in love with science fiction, and he was out of control, taking it with him wherever he went recently.
Calling an experienced old man, Han Xuan asked him, "This is ambergris, right?"
“…… Probably, cut it open and see. ”
Old Man Han put down the book, walked over and leaned over, staring at it left and right for a long time.
After saying this, he stepped aside, and Lopez's bodyguard pulled out the saber at his waist and sliced it hard without saying a word.
There are many things of different materials in it, and there is a mess of everything, and the color of the most central part is obviously different.
"It's really ambergris.
Look at the one in the middle, it's supposed to be the squid's teeth.
I've heard that when a sperm whale eats a squid or an octopus, it can't digest certain parts of it.
When those things stimulate the sperm whale's intestines, the intestines secrete a special wax-like substance, wrap them up, and slowly form ambergris.
The ambergris I use is all white, and the seller told me that it will take more than 100 years to soak in the sea water before it becomes pure white.
The whiter the ambergris, the more fragrant it will be when it is dried, and this piece is still gray, and it has been soaked in the sea for more than ten years at most......
The ancients didn't know where it came from, so it was the saliva of the dragon.
There are hundreds of thousands of sperm whales in the ocean, so this thing is actually not rare, it can be bought for money, and they are also used in perfumes.
It's a bit of a novelty to catch it yourself, but like musk coffee beans, it's actually animal excrement.
Han Xuan hurriedly trotted to wash his hands, and when he came back, he said, "Then throw it back into the sea and bubble again, it's a pity to use it now." ”
"Well, that's right, I'll wait a few decades to get it. Ramirez said suddenly.
If you really don't say it, it's a blockbuster.
The people around him looked at him with expressions like """ like this ( ̄▽ ̄)......
Han Xuan was speechless for a long time, and said: "I suggest you go and see a little story called Kezhou Seeking a Sword, you are a bit similar to the protagonist." ”
"Like what?"
Isabelle replied helpfully, "He meant all the same stupid." ”
“…… Damn!"
Dragged down by the big guy of more than 100 tons, it was already evening when he approached the port of Long Beach.
The Coast Guard has received several reports of attempts to smuggle "large missiles" into the United States.
The news quickly reached the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., where spy satellites were used to find out that there was actually a missile behind the ship, as people had said.
This incident has aroused great attention from the US military.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union did not dare to be arrogant, and the missiles were transported secretly.
And that ship, in the open, actually wants to deliver missiles to the United States?
A certain admiral was furious, and personally arranged for the alert level of the California coastline to be quickly raised by two levels, and dispatched six warships and more than 20 helicopters near the accident site to round up the ship and not allow it to dock.
It also ordered that all ships in the port of Long Beach be banned from going to sea, that the local population be evacuated, and that two F-18 Hornet fighter jets were sent to take off with missiles and that the unidentified vessel be destroyed if necessary.
As soon as the Snow Mountain docked, the old man received a call from the captain of the supply ship, saying that he was surrounded by the coast guard, and someone asked them to surrender, and the formation was a bit big.
And said that it might be because of the whale, and asked him to come over to help explain clearly, but there was no way, and the Snow Mountain yacht turned around and drove back.
Halfway through, Han Xuan unexpectedly saw two F18 "Hornet" fighters developed by Northrop Grumman, and was interested in commenting.
Now he doesn't know that the main culprit for the whole thing is the rocket booster...... (To be continued.) )
