Chapter 62: Looking Forward to Science
South Pacific, Papuan Sea.
Xiao Ba panted and returned to the boat with the bag on his back, Ye Wuxian and Lao Pan hurriedly went to help him and help him untie the backpack behind him.
"Get out of here! There's a huge cavern beneath this damn sea, and two murderous mutant eels are fighting to the death! At this time, Shen Rui also withdrew his mental control over Xiao Ba and said loudly to Lao Pan.
"Okay!"
The Razor burst out at a maximum speed of 58 knots and headed for the nearest port in Jayapura, Indonesia.
The reason for the reluctance to land in Papua is that the country is still in a state of wilderness, with countless indigenous cannibals living on the island, and even their capital, Port Moresby, is in shambles.
In the Papuan capital, the most popular profession is bodyguarding, because this South Pacific island country is so chaotic, robberies and killings happen every day, and rich people can be robbed and killed at any time if they don't hire bodyguards.
Starting from the Bohai Sea, all the way across more than 6,000 nautical miles to Papua, exploring the secret underwater base of the Japanese, and fighting at close range with the three major marine overlord-level species, this time out of Xiaoba can work hard, Shen Rui took back the dragon Shouzhu and quickly ordered Xiaoba to rest, and cared for him very much.
After the Razor drove dozens of nautical miles, Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief, those terrible mutated creatures should not be able to catch up, thinking of the thrilling encounter in the abyss under the sea, Shen Rui still had a little palpitations.
Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian placed Xiao Ba's backpack on the living room table, excitedly checking these magical beads.
Shen Rui told Ye Wuxian about the encounter with the two mutant species under the sea.
"What the hell do you think is going on? Why are there so many mutated species suddenly in the sea? Lamprey, a disgusting creature, can grow to more than fifty meters in length and have two heads? That's weird, isn't it? ”
Ye Wuxian smiled slightly, and while inspecting Long Shouzhu one by one, he said lightly: "The problem of mutated species is not just today, if you can enter the internal databases of those marine biology research institutions at the forefront of the world, you will find that a large number of scientists have already realized the problem of increased mutation of marine organisms. ”
"It's just that these studies are conducted in secret, and it's hard for ordinary people to know the specific data."
"Besides, the earth we live on is only a little bit of land, and it has not yet been fully explored, and 71% of the entire earth is made up of oceans, and it will take centuries to completely figure out such a huge ocean."
"With the current human deep diving technology, there is no way to figure out the situation in the depths of the ocean, and I am afraid that there are many amazing species that we don't know about after the deep sea."
Shen Rui nodded, human exploration and understanding of the ocean is indeed still in the initial stage, which is recognized by everyone.
After a pause, Ye Wuxian continued: "But then again, the recent mutation of species has indeed become more and more intense, and some people speculate that this may be related to the industrialization process of human beings, and a large number of toxic substances are discharged into the sea, which may really cause a large number of mutations in marine life." ”
"But these are long-term research projects, and human beings may not be able to find answers in a short period of time, so far, the best thing to do in this area is the Deep Blue Strategy Agency, but unfortunately, this marine research institute affiliated with the military, the security level is higher than that of NASA, even I, I can't dive into it to get a glimpse."
As a lover of occultism, Shen Rui has of course heard of the Deep Blue Strategy Bureau, which is said to be in Nevada, USA, where there is a Ninth District dedicated to extraterrestrial research, and science fiction lovers all over the world are flocking to the mysterious Ninth District.
However, it is a pity that the security of this kind of national strategic-level research institution is really strong, and there is very little information about the ninth district circulating, and most of the information circulating in major forums is speculation, and it is difficult to have real evidence.
The Deep Blue Strategy Bureau is an existence at the same level as the Ninth District, which belongs to the top secret of the US military, and its strategic status is even higher than that of the National Space Administration, and they have been paying attention to the mutated species in the ocean for many years and have the most first-hand information.
Shen Rui wanted to figure out why mutated species frequently appeared in the ocean, unless he consulted the top experts of the Deep Blue Strategy Bureau, it was obvious that this could not happen.
Ye Wuxian sighed deeply, "In fact, two years ago, when I got my third doctorate, I applied to enter the expert group of the Ninth Region and the Deep Blue Strategic Bureau, but unfortunately, I failed to pass the security assessment, after all, I am Chinese, I grew up in the mainland, and the US military will not let people from this background come into contact with their cutting-edge research projects." ”
"Cut, what's the big deal?" Shen Rui pouted and said, "These blind guys, because you are Chinese, do not let you contact those cutting-edge research projects, they will definitely regret it." ”
"Now that Long Shouzhu has arrived, as long as we develop a potion to prolong the life of humans, those scientists are probably asking you to join! After all, who doesn't want to live as long as possible? ”
Ye Wuxian shook his head, Shen Rui grew up on the dock after all, and his way of thinking was a little rough, Ye Wuxian was a good friend of Shen Rui, and now that his good friend was bullied, with Shen Rui's character of retribution, he would definitely bite back.
Ye Wuxian said: "You are wrong, whether I can enter the top expert group is not what those scientists say, but the decision of those politicians, I know many top scientists, they are all quite cute people, they live a sloppy life on weekdays, except for their own research projects, they don't even know how to cook instant noodles." ”
"If you want me to say, if you really develop a life-prolonging drug, you must first give it to these scientists, and you must give it to them for free, after all, science is the cornerstone of human progress, can you imagine life without the Internet, without mobile phones and computers?"
"Well, life would be too boring without the internet, right?" Shen Rui said immediately.
Ye Wuxian said: "It's not, but you must know that the Internet, computers, these are all invented by scientists, if we can let these top scientists live longer and research more cutting-edge technology, so as to promote the progress of the entire human race." ”
Shen Rui nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, scientists are indeed the most important existence of our human race, study him 5G, 6G, 7G, and expand the Internet to the entire solar system and the whole universe!" That's what makes it enjoyable! ”
"As for those politicians who prevent you from accessing cutting-edge technology, hmph, even if they kneel on the ground and beg Lao Tzu, don't expect to get even a drop of life medicine!"
Ye Wuxian asked curiously, "Then what if you like Bingbing, Avril, they come to beg you?" ”
Shen Rui touched his head and said with a wicked smile: "Then it depends on their performance." ”
"Let's not talk about this for a while, when you say this, I suddenly feel that I have a great responsibility, this life elixir will come out one day earlier, and it will save the lives of more scientists, why don't you go by sea with us, fly directly from Indonesia to Hong Kong, I think Yan Feng's family must be very anxious now."
The matter was decided like this, without further ado, once the Razor landed in Indonesia, Ye Wuxian would go to Hong Kong immediately, and Shen Rui and Lao Pan would drive the Razor back, after all, this ship cost Shen Rui more than 30 million yuan, which was his important asset.
A total of one hundred and thirteen Dragon Shou Beads didn't need to be carried with him, Ye Wuxian picked up two and put them in his box.
Suddenly, Ye Wuxian was stunned, because he saw a piece of black mineral in the waterproof backpack, which was the graphite ore in the abyss under the sea, probably brought in by Xiao Ba when he was pretending to be a dragon guarding pearl.
"This thing..."Ye Wuxian frowned, touching his chin and muttering to himself.
