Chapter 148: The Sea Monster
Lan Mu didn't go to Bai Ze just in case, and he didn't return to Shadow Island directly.
He dived about 500 meters into the deep sea, all the way north, and after swimming for an unknown number of kilometers, he finally stopped weakly.
"It did it the first time!"
"And got ten pieces of Best metal!"
Although Lan Mu was injured, he was in a happy mood.
He thought that the super-mobile team would be strong, but after this battle, he learned about the opponent's fatal weakness.
It is said that every member of the super-mobile team has Best Metal, so that they are equivalent to always having a handle in front of Lan Mu.
In the future, if he wants to encounter a super mobile suit, Lan Mu has an idea, the metal plate that originally protected his chest may turn into a long sword to pierce his chest.
"Gollum!"
Lan Muhu ate and drank from the sea, rose slightly, and stopped about a hundred meters.
"There are no pursuers...... Hehe, even if there were, it would never be possible to find me in the sea. â
Lan Mu closed his eyes and floated in the sea to rest.
The oak tree was swallowed by him, and the life ball automatically absorbed the energy, and calculated the time, which was about four days.
Lan Mu decided to wait until the energy was replenished.
He was tired from a night of high-intensity fighting, coupled with a particularly large tsunami. The laziness of the cold-blooded animal came up, and it was too lazy to move at all.
The sun rises and sets, and the four days are fleeting.
At noon that day, he was 100 meters below the surface of the sea, and he could barely get a little sun here.
Six large whaling ships unwittingly came to the nearby waters and happened to be chasing a blue whale.
The whaling ship was clearly flying the flag of Japan and China, and the crew of the six ships with a total of more than fifty people shouted excitedly, and continued to accelerate the pursuit of a large float, under which a whaling javelin was stuck in the upper end of the tail of a blue whale, and it would not be long before the trolling ship could kill it.
The whaling industry has been around since ancient times, and with the improvement of technology, the number of kills is increasing every year.
Due to the discovery of oil and overkilling, the whaling industry declined in the late 19th century. In the 20th century, the whaling industry was revitalized with the discovery of new uses for whale products, but the whale population was in danger of extinction
Retrospectively. With a history of more than 400 years of commercial whaling, Hiwa is currently the world's largest whaling and whale-eating country. In 1986, the International Convention on the Prohibition of Whaling came into force, and the member countries of the Whaling Commission renounced commercial whaling, including Japan and Japan. However, since 1987, Japan has been circumventing international conventions under the banner of "scientific research." Mass whaling was restarted.
Despite the Greenpeace protests and attempts to stop the whaling of Hiyori, the whaling has not stopped.
"Caught up!"
Not far in front of the whaling fleet was a wounded blue whale that had fled, one of them ordered.
"Pull it up!"
"Poof! Poof! â
Two more shots, and a fast-firing javelin was inserted into the blue whale's body.
The blue whale was exhausted after being chased for a long time, and finally couldn't swim at the moment.
The flotilla surrounded the blue whale and dragged it into a large ship.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
They laughed and clapped and encouraged each other to work as a team, and it was an excellent whaling operation.
A refining furnace was installed on the whaling vessel. This allows whalers to refine valuable whale fat into oil at sea and store the whale oil in zĂ i barrels, without having to drag the whales back to shore for processing. With such processing capabilities, whaling vessels often have the ability to stay at sea for long periods of time.
The fleet stayed in the area and quickly and quickly began to process the blue whales.
Shinki Sano is the captain of this fleet and a cadre of the Mitsui Shipping Group, and the whaling operation was carried out in the name of scientific research.
They had planned to go whaling in Antarctica, but as they passed through the nearby waters, they noticed a huge tsunami in the central Pacific Ocean.
Many species of whales are found nearby, and they are naturally reluctant to go far. Directly ignoring the ban, the whaling spree began here.
He was watching his men handle whale oil when suddenly a man came running to report to him in a panic.
"Minister Sano, underwater sonar has spotted an unidentified creature underneath. Body...... Huge ......"
Sano Shinmu said, "Whales? â
"No...... Much bigger than a blue whale and looks like a sea serpent? â
The sonar detector can roughly see the outline of the life on the seabed, as long as the distance is not too far and there is little interference, it can basically distinguish the target species, not to mention that the target seems to be still stationary in the sea.
"Sea serpents? Leave it alone...... Wait a minute! What did you say? Bigger than a blue whale? â
Sano Shinki's attention finally came to attention. To know that the blue whale is the largest animal in the world, what sea snake will be bigger than the blue whale?
"Really! Minister, come and see! â
They came to the underwater sonar reactor and it was obvious to see a serpentine silhouette with half of the body coiled, and even then, much larger than a blue whale!
"How long is that?" Sano Shinki said stunned.
The subordinate swallowed and said, "Preliminary estimate...... Ninety meters long! â
"Nani!"
Sano Shinki jumped up excitedly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, slowly stretched upward, and finally laughed directly.
"I found such a big sea snake in the shallow water, this is ...... This is already a sea monster, right? â
"Strange sea monster carcasses are occasionally found around the world, but never really found a sea monster until now, and I didn't expect one to be so close to us! Hahaha! â
"Can you be sure if it's alive or dead?"
The subordinate replied, "I don't know, it's been standing still for a long time." â
"Hmmm......"
Shinki Sano ran out of the cabin and shouted at the crew who were working hard.
"Stop! Stop it! â
The crew looked at him one after another, not knowing why.
"Get moving! Two hundred and forty meters away from us, there was a sea monster! â
"If we can capture it, our group will attract the attention of the world!"
"The group's research institute will definitely go crazy with our discovery!"
The crew looked at each other, the whaling was so good, why did they suddenly catch some sea monsters?
Although they went to sea in the name of scientific research, did they really engage in any scientific research?
This group of people are all veteran fishermen and sailors in Japan, who have been whaling and dolphin hunting all year round, and have never encountered a sea monster for so many years.
"Minister, are you kidding? Where are the sea monsters? Isn't it a big whale? â
"Maybe it's a squid or something......"
The crew laughed, not caring about the sea monsters.
However, Sano Shinki roared angrily: "Just now, the sonar detected a giant beast with a length of 90 meters, just a hundred meters below the surface of the sea, this is simply at your fingertips!" â
"Now! Immediately! Go capture that sea monster! â
"As long as we get it, international environmental organizations will no longer be able to stop us from hunting in the name of scientific research......"
"The discovery of the sea monster is our greatest scientific contribution!"
Everyone saw that the minister's face was stern, and what he said seemed to be true.
"Is there a sea monster?"
"Si Kuoyi! Ninety meters! â
"Are we going to catch monsters?"
Shinki Sano has always had a lot of prestige in the company, and at first he thought he was joking, but when he heard that he was so serious, he immediately believed it.
Soon, six ships rushed to the target.
"Minister, it's just a hundred meters below."
"Good! With a high-powered whaling cannon! â
At the sound of an order, the two javelins shot straight into the sea, but after shooting about forty meters, they were weak, and they couldn't shoot the sea monster at all.
"The sea resistance is very high, and the whaling cannons can't hit that deep."
Where Sano was willing to give up, he immediately asked people to bring in more explosives and a box of special shells.
"More explosives from the whaling cannons, stand by!"
"You guys, go into the water with the steel net, catch it, and we'll drag it."
"Bring these concussion bombs, it is a fishing weapon developed by our group this year, it will emit strong infrasound waves on the bottom of the sea, destroying the visceral blood vessels and brain cells of marine creatures......"
"Attention! You have to determine whether the other party is dead or alive first, if it's just a corpse, just salvage it with a steel net! Don't destroy the corpses! â
Shinki Sano advised, so the ten crew members changed into diving suits, brought equipment and weapons, namely one end of the steel mesh and a concussion bomb.
"Hey!" They shouted, one jumped upside down, and sank into the water.
Ten crew members are constantly diving, and a searchlight above their heads shines on the world beneath the sea.
As the water depth continues to increase, fifty meters ...... Seventy meters...... Ninety meters ......
They finally see the sea monster for what it really is.
A huge serpentine creature entrenched ninety meters long, with distinct layers of black scales.
Stout and sturdy, like a mountain in front of them, a fear of the deep sea enveloped them.
"It's ......"
They saw a snake head bigger than a bus, with a one-man tall patterned horn, and huge snake eyes like a cold giant hole in the dark seabed.
"Uh-uh-uh......"
The crew was stunned, stiff, and their heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
When they actually saw the sea monsters, they were already overwhelmed by fear.
"Dragons?" (To be continued.) )
