Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Uncle Klaas hurriedly explained: "We know that the favorite food of toothed cetaceans is octopus. ↑ In the top novel, o can be said that the two of them are natural enemies. And this ship is a Japanese whaling ship. Maybe ......"

Hearing Uncle Klaas say this, everyone also reacted.

Perhaps it is because there is still a strong whale breath on this whaling ship, so this huge octopus will regard it as its own enemy.

Gong Xue said at this time: "Uncle Klaas, your idea is not wrong. However, I remember reading reports before that these large octopuses usually only live in the deep sea. Even the most ferocious sperm whales, trying to kill this large octopus, carry them from the deep sea to the shallow sea, using water pressure and air pressure to suffocate them to death. But why did this giant octopus still run to the surface? ”

Uncle Klaas was stunned for a moment, but he also figured out the reason, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Zhou Quanbei said with a smile: "Giant octopuses generally live in the deep sea, and the temperature there, I'm afraid, will not be much stronger than this sea." In terms of survival, the conditions are the same. As for air pressure and water pressure, I think there should be other ways. ”

Jer~Mason said: "Zhou, this big guy, it, it shouldn't come here to attack us, right?" ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, "Jer, don't worry." This thing is a mollusk after all, and although it is huge and powerful, unless it has weapons and crab-like pincers, it will not be able to break through the ice on this sea. ”

Hearing Zhou Quanbei's explanation, Jer~Mason was a little relieved, but after a while, he figured it out, "Zhou, that doesn't mean that if there is no ice on the sea, it will still ......"

Zhou Quanbei diǎn diǎn head, "Yes, Jer. However, our ship is much larger than the previous one. This thing shouldn't be able to help us. ”

"So, those dozen expedition members, what the hell is going on with them? We haven't seen any changes to this ship. They, why did they, disappear? Jerry ~ Mason said again.

Regarding this problem, Zhou Quanbei was also puzzled and unable to figure out how to do it.

Uncle Klaas said, "I wonder if we can imagine it." For example, at the beginning, a giant whale was fighting a huge octopus, but the giant whale was about to win, and the octopus was about to die, and at this time, the whaling ship appeared......"

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but diǎn diǎn head, Uncle Klaas's idea, most likely, is the reproduction of the scene at that time.

The Japanese on this ship probably discovered the existence of the octopus after hunting the giant whale, but at this time, they had already consumed a huge amount of physical strength, but this octopus recovered.

According to the description of the famous writer Melville in "Moby Dick", the whale is actually a creature with a very high IQ, although it is not as good as humans, but it is not much different.

Scientific research in later generations also shows this diǎn.

However, this huge octopus really cannot be explained by scientific common sense.

However, the ocean is inherently unpredictable, and what human beings have explored now is only a very small part, such as the seabed salvage of Zhou Quanbei and his party this time, which is still the most difficult work in the world.

Even, in later generations, there were some classified documents that were revealed, and during the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the United States tried to study some huge marine offensive creatures to use against each other's navies......

Species itself is a process of evolution with the environment, and the organisms on it have evolved for as many years as the earth has existed.

No one can predict whether there will really be some unique mutant xenomorphs.

As for the first batch of expedition members, before, Zhou Quanbei and these people didn't notice where they entered the cabin, perhaps, this giant octopus has been lurking under this ghost ship, these unlucky ghosts, I don't know what they touched, were all swept under the ice by this big guy.

It's just that the culprit has been found out, Zhou Quanbei is not an expert in marine biology, and it doesn't make much sense to study these, this is the work of Uncle Klaas, and he changed the topic with a smile: "Jer, I think, we shouldn't be serious with this big guy who has no thinking now, what we should care more about is where the expedition of the Mi people and the Japanese is now." ”

Jer~Mason also reacted, "Zhou, I also have this intention." Let's still think about the good. ”

Leaving this sea area, Zhou Quanbei and his party searched in the nearby sea area for a few days, but unfortunately, they found nothing, and the big white guy did not appear again, I don't know if it is really like the habits of its kind, 'die when you see the light'.

However, after this incident, the atmosphere of the crew on the ship has also changed a little, and it has become much more rigorous, and no one dares to be careless.

"Zhou~, you say, could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction? Or has the treasure ship sunk to the bottom of the ocean as the ice and snow melt? "I haven't found it for a few days, Jer~Mason is not only a little troubled by gains and losses, but also full of doubts about everything.

Zhou Quanbei shook his head, although the weather has been better in the past few days, and the expedition ship has not encountered a snowstorm again, but the temperature is still very cold.

At this time, it is only the beginning of April, and if you want to wait until the ice melts in this area, it is estimated that it will be at least July or August.

But even if it does, it doesn't melt completely, and in September and October, as the weather gets colder, ice freezes up again.

According to the information sent back by the Japanese expedition before, the treasure ship was stuck on the ice, which means that this ship, although ancient, may not have sunk.

If it really sinks to the bottom of the sea, then there is not much point in salvaging it.

After all, the cost of deep-sea operations in the cold Arctic Ocean alone is, I'm afraid, already worth more than treasure.

Therefore, the salvage company seems to be able to get rich overnight, but in fact, it is not a profitable business every time.

If there is no rigorous and in-depth investigation and no accurate intelligence, it is very likely that you will lose all your money.

For example, it's like this operation of Jerry ~ Mason.

However, Zhou Quanbei is optimistic about this.

Jer~Mason may be untargeted, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, but those United States and Japanese consortiums will not, if there is no accurate intelligence, they will definitely not scatter eagles.

"Jer, my friend, you should be patient. Even if we can't find the treasure, if we take that big creature back and make it into a specimen, I think there will be people who will be willing to pay a high price for it. Zhou Quanbei teased with a smile.

Jer~Mason couldn't help but smile, "Zhou~, you are really a genius, why didn't I think of it." It's really a genius idea. I think museums and private collectors will be happy to pay for it. ”

The two sat together, laughing, chatting and fart, but at this time, the observer on the dǐng sent back information, and not far ahead, an expedition ship was found in operation, with the Japanese flag flying on it.

The two of them couldn't help but perk up, and the Japanese ship appeared, which showed that there was nothing wrong with their own general direction.

Soon, an expedition ship of the same size appeared in view.

It's just that under this ice and snow, the little devil's 'sanitary napkin' flag is really a bit dazzling.

After a simple exchange of flags, soon, someone from the other party came to the boat on the north side of Zhou Quan.

Although peers are enemies, working under such conditions, having one more companion will always make people feel more secure, not to mention, no one on either side has really found the treasure.

The little devil on the boat is a middle-aged man about thirty years old, named Tian Gang Xinxiong, full of the unique ability, shrewdness, neatness, and firm eyes of the elite of the island country, so that people can understand that he has a strong heart at a glance.

However, he obviously did not expect that Zhou Quanbei, a yellow-skinned person, would appear on the German-flagged expedition ship, let alone that Zhou Quanbei was actually a Chinese and one of the major shareholders of the ship.

It's just that once he learned about Zhou Quanbei's identity, he no longer had any contempt, and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Jer, according to the information we have obtained, that treasure ship is in the nearby area, and it will not exceed one latitude. However, we have been working here for more than ten days, but unfortunately, we have not found it. We suspect that most likely, this treasure ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea. In other words, the information we have received is itself wrong. ”

Jer~Mason couldn't help but be furious, and directly scolded this Tian Gangxin Xiong for being a bloody dog.

The Mason family has a wide range of businesses in Japan, especially in finance, working with Mitsui and Mitsubishi, two huge chaebols.

Putting on the name of the family, Tian Gang Xinxiong really didn't dare to refute, but explained: "Mr. Jer, our expedition members have all gone through rigorous tests, and I also believe that their intelligence will not be wrong, but we have not found the right path. ”

Zhou Quanbei said at this time: "Mr. Tian Gang, what I want to know is, where is the American ship now?" Do you communicate with them? ”

Tian Gangxin Xiong shook his head, "Before we set off, we also got information from the United States, but we have been in this sea area for almost a month, but we have not found the exploration ships of the United States. ”

Zhou Quanbei diǎn diǎn head.

This sea area should have been considered a waterway more than 100 years ago, but due to harsh conditions and terrain changes, it has been abandoned for many years.

Although it is the intelligence of the Japanese, according to the style of the Mi people, their intelligence may be more accurate than these Japanese.

In other words, the information obtained by Zhou Quanbei, including these Japanese, is not accurate enough.

Although on the map, a latitude and longitude is only a few millimeters, but under actual conditions, it is not known how many times larger.

Tian Gang believed that Xiong had made some brief exchanges here, and then returned to their ship.

Jer~Mason hurriedly discussed with Zhou Quanbei: "Zhou~, what should we do?" Do you want to give up here and go to the people of the United States? ”

Zhou Quanbei shook his head, without accurate information, where to find those Mi people? Moreover, even if the information of the people of the United States is accurate, it is difficult to guarantee that they are not the most accurate information on this sea.

There are no specific coordinates, which means that everyone still has a chance.

"Jer, we Chinese people have a saying, called you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I think we're still trying our luck here. ”

Jeer~Mason saw Zhou Quanbei's expression, and his mind was a little steady, "Zhou~, I listen to you." But should we follow these Japanese? ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, "Jer, you send someone to inform those Japanese, keep in touch at any time, and the interests are all involved." ”
