At the bow of the Monarch Raid were a few sailors smoking inferior cigarettes, blowing the cool sea breeze and blowing the cattle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Watanabe-kun, will you go back to the city this time to go into the city for a while?"
"What are you going to do in the city?" asked Watanabe-kun.
"Of course, hehehe...... The women in the city are very good-looking, much better looking than the women in my family......" The people looked at Watanabe-kun and smiled, with a look of what you know.
"I'm not going, you can go. Watanabe-kun shook his head, he wouldn't waste his money on this.
"Hey, why are you so honest?" the sailors looked at Watanabe-kun with disdain.
"Hey, what's that?" It was at this time that Watanabe-kun saw a behemoth dozens of meters in front of the fishing boat, which looked like a 'monster'. This monster looks a bit like a squid in that it has eight tentacles.
I saw this monster floating on the surface of the sea, and it looked like it might sink at any moment.
"Dead sea monsters?" a sailor looked at in shock. Apparently shocked by this ten-meter-long big guy.
"Hurry up and tell the boss, let's hurry up and get the tools and salvage it and see what the hell it is!" said an old sailor.
"Okay, I'll tell the boss, you can do it. ”
Nanno Xiu had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and after he came out, he immediately organized people to salvage this king squid floating on the sea. This guy is more than ten meters long and is estimated to be about 1.5 tons!
It will take a lot of effort to get this big guy on a fishing boat. Its tonnage is out there, it's too heavy!
At this time, everyone didn't know that this thing was the king squid, they just thought it was a monster, and it just looked like a squid.
"Wow, what kind of thing is this, it's so big! I feel like my scalp is numb when I look at its tentacles and teeth!"
"Look at its eyes are so big, so big, it's so scary. ”
"It looks like a squid, is it a squid?"
"Is it dead or not? How did I see its tentacles move, was it that I was dazzled?"
The sailors looked at the king squid that was being salvaged, and pointed at it.
"Why does it look a bit like a tentacle sea monster!"
"Well, I look like it, I heard that this is the demon of the sea......"
"It's a sea monster......
In this fifties, the world's understanding of the king squid is not widespread and thorough enough, and even in ancient times, people occasionally saw the king squid and were frightened by its huge body, and thought that they had encountered a deep-sea sea monster.
Legends like this are also passed down among the older generation of Nemuro fishing port.
The true understanding of the king squid began in the seventies (more than twenty years later), when the remains of the king squid washed ashore on the Canadian coast on several occasions, at least one of which were still alive, and with the help of these entities, people finally learned something about the king squid.
It was not until early January 2013 that the island's television and the U.S. Imperialist Discovery Channel filmed the king squid swimming in the deep sea for the first time. The crew descended by submersible to a depth of 630 meters in the North Pacific Ocean, where they photographed the 3-meter-long king squid. This is the world's first moving image of a king squid captured in the deep sea.
Therefore, the world's understanding of the king squid has not really begun to understand until modern times. For example, in the fifties, people in the world did not know much about the king squid, so most people did not know the king squid. Even many people see such a giant and are convinced that the king squid is a 'sea monster'!
Since ancient times, there have been stories of terrifying sea monsters among fishermen and sailors from all over the world. According to legend, these sea monsters tend to be huge and strangely shaped, even with seven or nine heads. The most famous of these is the "Norwegian Sea Monster" described in the Norwegian Naturalist in 1752, except that the Norwegian Sea Monster describes a giant octopus, not a squid.
It is said, "Its back, or rather the upper part of its body, appears to be about a mile and a half around it, like an island." …… Later several shiny tips or horns appeared, sticking out of the water, stretching higher and higher, some as tall as the masts of medium-sized ships, these things were probably the arms of monsters, and were said to pull the largest warships to the bottom of the sea.
Later, in the 19th century, with the development of modern zoology, the legend of the sea monster gradually disappeared.
"Old man Kimura, do you know what kind of monster this is?" asked Ishida Xiong to old man Kimura. At this time, everyone gathered around the edge of the boat and watched the king squid being salvaged next to the boat.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it!"
"Everyone, work hard, this guy is so heavy!" A dozen sailors and some machines have not been able to get this guy up for a long time.
Minamino Shuichi looked at this king squid and saw its tentacles move occasionally, knowing that this guy was not dead, but he had just fainted, but he had to get it as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be good for it to wake up. The king squid is very vicious! If you sweep people and things down, it will be gone in a minute. The king squid is unusually ferocious.
It took a lot of effort for everyone and the cooperation of two other fishing boats to get this big guy on the plate.
Looking at this king squid piled up on the deck like a hill, everyone was curious, but they didn't dare to get too close, and no one knew if it was dead or not, because they also saw its tentacles moving from time to time.
"Boss, do you know this sea monster?" asked Ishida Yu, to Shuichi Minamino.
"I don't know, but I think it looks like a squid, and it's so big, I think it belongs to the emperor among the squid, so I'll call it the king squid!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they praised Nanye Xiu's analysis.
"It's really good to listen to the boss, it does look like a squid, but it's much bigger than the average squid, its eyes are not the same, it's too big, its color, tentacles have changed a little, but overall it's still like a squid. Its size really belongs to the strongest among the squid, that is, the king. It's really appropriate to call the king squid, boss, you are really talented!"
"Boss, should we mend the knife to it, if it doesn't die, I'm afraid something will happen." Ishida said worriedly.
"It's okay, just send it to the refrigerated warehouse to refrigerate it, and if it doesn't die, it will freeze to death and suffocate to death!"
"Okay!" Ishida thought for a moment, and that was true. With the efforts of a group of people, the king squid was finally moved into the cold storage and refrigerated. I almost can't fit in this big body.
