Chapter Eighty-Eight: Overlord
Underground Aquarium. The pen~fun~pavilion www.biquge.info cold wind blows in the circular glass tunnel, keeping it at the same level as the water temperature. The air is humid, and there are only dim smart control lights. However, inside the tempered glass, the diving lights placed in various places in the water reflect the unfolding lights, making the deep blue water look particularly bright. The free-to-visit hammerhead shark glides quietly over the wide backs of manta rays. The big manta ray, hidden in the muddy bottom, opened its eyes lazily, spread its wings and muddied the sediment and water stones and fled. The clumsy sunfish stared feebly at the glass, seeing the man walking in front of it.
With one hand in his pocket, Ding walked along the wall inside the tunnel, walking briskly through the tropical fish area. The long, empty aquarium tunnels are sparsely populated with tourists. The little girl and her mother happily counted the colorful corals floating under the glass. A swarm of glowing jellyfish moves rhythmically through the water.
Ding Yi walked straight to the deepest part of the aquarium tunnel. He glanced at his phone and stuffed it back into his pocket, turning off the surveillance video in the tunnel.
In the depths, there is a platform for large marine animals to visit. But the latent light inside the glass didn't turn on. Ding Yi saw a large black shadow, moving on the huge wall in front of him.
"See you again, Officer Dingyi." An Ran was standing in front of the glass wall, waiting for Ding Yi. He turned around and stretched out his hand to greet Ding Yi.
Ding glanced at it, still hiding his hand deep in his pocket, and did not accept the warm welcome from Mr. President. "What did you call me here for?" Ding Yi raised his head, remained hostile, and asked coldly. Enron also had a wound patch on his forehead, and he had not recovered from the crash the day before yesterday. This reminded Ding Yi of what had just happened between the two of them.
"Forgive me. It wasn't supposed to be here. I'm sorry, but I've just finished work. Because of the busy time, I have to grieve you Ding Yi to come to my temporary workplace to take the time to meet. Come, let me first introduce you to this 'biggest' new citizen of Tamyun City, Xia Mei. After speaking, An Ran turned around and raised his hand, and used the hacker chip to turn on all the water lights in the tempered glass; The dot matrix effect lights up at the same time on the dark glass like a synchronized nine-square grid. In the deep blue water, the huge black shadow let out a long, mysterious low cry, and turned over to show a white wave of water.
A huge black and white killer whale appeared in front of Ding Yi's eyes! It opened its head down, kissed straight to the bottom of the aquarium, and then rolled over to swim to the top of the tank. The glass of the water box is also huge, about 50 meters high, about 30 meters high behind An Ran, and the remaining 20 meters are in the underground space of the next layer and the tunnel landscape area of the upper layer. Ding Yi was amazed and surging, looking up at the creatures swimming in the huge space. He unconsciously stepped forward and touched the glass screen. Between distractions, I accidentally touched the intelligent stereoscopic science projection.
"Strong, shy and timid baby. Haha, don't you feel very intimate? An Ran stroked the glass wall and rubbed it gently, and the killer whale was obedient enough to swim over and gently rub its dorsal fin in front of the glass where the two of them were.
"Why?" Ding Yi suddenly had a question, turned his head to An Ran and asked.
"Because the chip you and I implanted can pick up a small part of the low-frequency sound waves, which is the common sound of dolphins and whales. Oceanographers call this peculiar sound that travels through the water the whale song. They conducted scientific research by making whale songs into a sound spectrum, and then studied the living and social habits of whales. Our biohackers, on the other hand, can directly use the chip to receive the sound of these frequencies in their entirety, and directly make relevant analysis and emotional responses. So, this has led to whales and biohackers, two species with completely different sea and land, thinking that they can communicate with each other. ”
Ding Yi was very surprised, and he was indeed very teachable. He did feel that he could sense the mind of the killer whale in front of him. Even if he had never seen this behemoth.
"It's called Natsumi. From the SeaWorld Center in Florida, USA, the 21st generation of captive-bred killer whale calves from the Shamu killer whale family. Since 2019, animal protection groups have banned any form of zoo killer whale performances, and on the surface, they have banned artificial breeding of killer whales. But the scientific study of killer whales has not ended. Genetic engineering has saved the increasingly weakened family of killer whales in captivity. Rejuvenate them and restore them to greater vitality, fertility and healing, as well as greater psychological endurance after leaving society; At the cellular and genetic level, the Chamux line has evolved into a new, more powerful species. Enron's eyes were filled with an indescribable sense of pride.
"The Natsumi you see in front of you is only fifteen years old, but her body length is already more than 15 meters, which is more than the largest killer whale that has been discovered. They will be the largest and most intelligent dolphins in the family. This is all thanks to the increasingly sophisticated genetic technology. Once released into the ocean, the members of the Chamu family will have a hundred years of retiring all other killer whales and reconstructing new killer whale cell lines through breeding, predation, and the highly social life characteristic of killer whales. ”
"These huge and intelligent black and white creatures, with no natural predators, have evolved to the top of the marine food chain for tens of millions of years, and are the masters of the ocean."
Natsumi let out another lonely whale cry and swam past Ding Yi's side. The water splashed, and a low primitive sound wave appeared in the water, Ding Yi suddenly felt a heart-piercing headache, and the deep-sea phantom in his previous dream seemed to suddenly surge up from the depths of his soul. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists against the glass wall.
"It looks like your chip and its band frequencies overlap a lot." An Ran noticed Ding Yi's pale face, "Try to divert your attention; Otherwise, focus too much on translating its sound spectrum, and your brain fluid will be shattered by its energy sound waves like water in a glass. ”
"Thanks, thanks for the reminder." Ding Yi was sweating profusely and gasped weakly, "I, I can feel its loneliness." ”
"Oh sorry, I did it, it's my fault. The foundation of Qishen Group donated this free aquarium to Tamyun City, and I presided over the introduction of Natsumi out of personal feelings and hobbies. When I was at Imperial College, I was involved in this biological research project on gene therapy and modification of killer whales. So I was lucky enough to get a spot to keep it. Sorry, I try not to make it feel lonely and have time to be a dutiful keeper and chat with her. Would you like to try it, change into a wetsuit and go in and dance with it? It is absolutely safe, non-aggressive to humans, and will be especially friendly and close to biohackers. ”
"Honestly, I'd love to try it, but not today. You're asking me to come here today, it's not just about visiting a big fish, right? As he spoke, the figure of the killer whale floating on the blue glass wall behind the two of them.
"I really want to find a like-minded person to witness the completion of today's orca pavilion with me. But unfortunately, someone came to steal my stuff yesterday - Officer Ding Yi, why did you sneak into my office and steal my stuff? An Ran finally got to the point and broke the tacit understanding that had been maintained between the two men.
"I'm also sorry, President Enron, that I'm sorry to have found you in the course of pursuing a drug case. I've always wanted to believe that what the media is reporting is all you have. But my investigation only proves that that's not all the positives and negatives of you. ”
An Ran lowered his head helplessly and smiled, and the shadow and water streaks of the killer whale turned over and rippled from the ground.
"You've got the bubble stuff?" He whispered in Ding Yi's ear, with a nasal fierceness.
"I can only be sure that your name is written on the list of raw materials that are allowed to be produced and sold to subordinates. The handwriting is neat, there is no trace of imitation, and the president himself signs it, and there is no need to do any handwriting identification. Ding Yi smiled coldly.
"Data obtained through illegal means can be used as evidence in court?" An Ran rolled his eyes and said.
"Absolutely." Ding Yi was-for-tat.
"So as evidence, how much is it possible to send me to prison?" An Ran wiped his nose.
"It's not very likely. President Enron, you are only a supplier of raw materials and not directly produced foamed drugs, and perhaps you instigated those skilled biohackers to produce foam for you, but I don't have enough evidence to arouse the interest of the prosecution. As for your background, we are very aware of the material and financial strength of Qishen Group and An's Consortium; Pharmaceuticals you operate through complex and vast connections, money operations, and I think the chances of sending you to prison are actually very low. Ding Yi seemed honest and said calmly, "However, for a character like you." If the bubble data is exposed, it will definitely make a big move. Just as your brother did; Stock prices will dive, the industry will be shaken, and there will be a series of unexpected negative chain reactions. ”
"So what the hell do you want!" An Ran couldn't stand Ding Yi's provocation, shook his hand and untied his suit, he turned around and pointed at Ding Yi's nose angrily, "What do you want!" Do you want me to die like my brother? No! Tell you I wouldn't do that! In a pig's eye! Even if I lose the group and let that old man die, I won't admit defeat! ”
"So far, I've only been shocked. Why are you doing this. Why did the Qishen Group get involved in the manufacture of contraband for serious crimes? With your profits and scale, why bother with contraband with huge risks and costs? ”
"You won't understand, and I can't explain it to you. It's like the secret my brother defended to his death. An Ran shook his head in refusal, he suddenly took a deep breath, and uneasily pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Ding Yi! I can't explain this to you, unless you die right now! ”
"Meaningless." Ding Yi stretched out his hand and pushed the muzzle of the gun away, "I have uploaded the information of the bubble to three computers that are electrostatically screened. If my people don't see me today, it's safe to go back. They upload data from thousands of ports to the public network at the same time. ”
Killer whales leisurely swing their strong fins and push the waves against the glass wall. It realized that there was a transparent diaphragm between it and the whale shark.
"I knew you were going to do that, grass! I really shouldn't have let you go in the first place! ”
"Win or lose, President An, it's just that you can't stop me, it's not that you shouldn't."
"Whatever you want, let's get to the point. Don't tell me any justice, you know it's impossible to send me to prison. And you didn't activate the arrest warrant, you didn't have any plans to arrest me, and now you came as promised, it means that you are a smart black cop; What you want is your stuff, your interests. ”
Ding Yi was secretly glad, stretched out his hands in his pockets, walked towards the aquarium glass, stretched out his fingertips, and stuck them on the glass; In the deep blue waters, a huge shadow swept by.......
