Chapter 136: Cetacean Conqueror
There are simple living facilities on the patrol boat, Mi Lu slept until dawn, rubbed his eyes, found that there was no Ao Tang around, and hurriedly climbed up.
Above the sea, the red is rising, the light is sprinkled, the blue sea is covered with a layer of red glow, Mi Lu Wow sighed a few times, and hurriedly ran to the cockpit, and said coquettishly: "Ao Tang, you must wake me up tomorrow morning, I want to watch a complete sea out, well, let's watch it together." ”
"Okay, I'll hold you tomorrow morning." Ao Tang let go of the driving and used the power of the dragon king to push the waves forward, while handing the toiletries to Mi Lu.
The patrol boat was only used for short distances offshore, and there were not many supplies on it, and there were only a few bottles of mineral water for fresh water. However, Ao Tang will never be short of water, and when he stretched out his hand, the sea was already steaming, and it was drizzling for half a minute, and he took the container and used it as washing water.
"Where?"
"Just past Preparis Island and on our way to the Coco Islands."
"Oh, Ao Tang, you've worked hard to drive the boat at night, do you want to rest for a while?"
"It's okay, hehe, what do you want for breakfast?" Ao Tang turned over the supplies, this boat can carry 10 people, and the materials on it are the amount of 10 people for 1 day, there are compressed biscuits, there are also individual self-heating food, and two cans, pick it up and take a look, I can't help but sigh, "How can there be Chinese on the package?" ”
Mi Lu said with a smile: "Ao Tang, you don't know, my country's individual rations are exported, but many times they are delivered, especially when disasters occur in some countries, there are a lot of them, and the military food is simple and hunger-resistant, and the victims are the most welcome." ”
"Oh, I thought that the Burmese taste could be tasted fresh, but it turned out to be our own, so aren't you tired of eating? Forget it, I'll catch two fish and grill them. ”
"Oh, don't bother, it's just breakfast."
"Haha, it's not a hassle for me to catch fish."
As he spoke, he walked out, and with a casual move, he had already forced two fat sea fish to jump out of the water.
"Mmmm, it's two mackerel, hey, I found two big lobsters over there, come over to me......"
Mi Lu watched from behind, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, fortunately there was only one Ao Tang, otherwise fishermen all over the world would commit suicide.
Ao Tang found two knives from the boat, and removed two thin iron bars from a simple bed, cut them and cleaned them, and then barbecued them, and after a while, the fragrance was already wafting.
"It's a pity that there are no condiments on the boat, and barbecue is a weak point in my cooking skills, so I can only be so-so."
Mi Lu is not picky, not to mention that it is roasted in Ao soup, even if it is ordinary, she also thinks it is delicious. While he was eating happily, Ao Tang suddenly sighed and asked, "Lulu, do you want to see dolphins?" ”
"Are there dolphins nearby? Where, where? Milu stood up, looked around, and even took a look at the goggles left by the captain, but found no sign of the dolphin.
Ao Tang laughed: "It's still far away, there is a large group, it's the Irrawaddy River dolphins." Just now, an aquarium came into my 100-mile sensing range, and it was driving the dolphin towards the Pacific Ocean, so I asked it to turn around and meet it in two or three hours. ”
"Expelled?"
"yes, drive away." Ao Tang had a smile on his face, and he was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Orca team.
Ten members of the killer whale team are scattered to the seas to carry out a plan to conquer the entire cetacean. Killer whales are cetaceans-dolphins-killer whales, so the first step, of course, is to conquer the killer whale family from which they originate, and then expand from the killer whale genus to the entire dolphin family, and then take down the entire cetacean.
Among them, Tiger Ding came to the waters of the Indian Ocean, and after conquering dozens of ordinary killer whales, he used this as a team to launch a fierce attack on the Irrawaddy River dolphin population in the Bay of Bengal. Now in the pursuit, he has left the Bay of Bengal, and under the conscious drive of Huding, he is coming towards the Andaman Sea.
Although it is named after the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar, and can also live in inland freshwater, it is sometimes called the Irrawaddy dolphin, but it is not a real freshwater dolphin, but it can adapt to both seawater and freshwater. There are more than 7,000 dolphins in the world, and 90 percent of them live in the Bay of Bengal, not in the Irrawaddy River.
Biologically speaking, the Irrawaddy dolphin and the killer whale are close relatives, but the surname is the opposite, the killer whale has the prestige of "killer whale", but the Irrawaddy dolphin is notoriously timid, once it encounters other dolphins or cetaceans, its first reaction is to run away. So weak, it's no wonder that Tiger Ding hit them with his mind early.
However, trying to conquer more than 6,000 dolphins at a time, how to surround and intercept them, and minimize their escape is also a difficult problem, and Hu Ding is quite ambitious. Ao Tang remembered that the killer whale team was the first to ignite four, three big and one small, and the tiger Ding was the small one, still underage.
And for Oyu, although the dolphin is timid, it is not completely useless. The dolphin is one of the easier dolphins to domesticate, often helping fishermen drive fish into their nets, and can be used by Ao Tang if he develops marine fisheries in the future.
The patrol boat arrived in the Coco Islands first, and about three hours later, dolphins began to appear in the northwest, accompanied by the clattering and chirping of the dolphins.
"This is the Irrawaddy dolphin? So much! It's elegant. ”
Mi Lu looked at it with a telescope, the dark gray-blue dolphin looked really good, and there were thousands of clusters, which was spectacular.
Ao Tang laughed and said, "Elegant fart, they are now fleeing in panic." ”
Normally, the maximum speed of the dolphin is only about 20 kilometers per hour, but now it is chased by killer whales for 100 kilometers in three hours, and it can be said that it has used its strength to eat, and it has surpassed its own limits under the condition of life and death.
Soon, the figure of killer whales also appeared, only thirty or forty, either chasing behind, or attacking in combination, intercepting from the flanks, the fugitives did their best, but the pursuers were at ease, because the maximum speed of killer whales was 55 kilometers per hour. With twice the speed, the killer whales can try not to let the dolphin escape, and most of the cetaceans are used to group action, and the chasing soldiers are fierce, and in a hurry, the dolphin does not think about scattering at all, only knows to huddle together, have more companions, and have more illusory sense of security.
Of course, it is impossible to absolutely stop the escape, there will always be fish that slip through the net, from the Bay of Bengal to the Andaman Sea, there are now only 5,000 of the 6,000 dolphins left. By the time they reach their final destination, there may only be two or three thousand left. But once the two or three thousand of them have been domesticated by the Aquatic Orcas in the Aqua Tribe, it will be easy to go back to the Bay of Bengal to catch deserters.
Ao Tang smiled: "Since I'm here, let's help Hu Ding." ”
The aura of the dragon king suddenly enveloped the past, and not only the five thousand dolphins, but also the killer whales other than the tiger ding, were also trembling and did not dare to move.
If it is an ordinary fish, it is a brainless low-level animal, even if it is suppressed by the dragon king for a while, when the dragon king is gone, it will return to normal, because most fish only have a few seconds of memory, and they will forget it after that, as the so-called "ignorant are fearless". Unless it is repeated oppression, so that the fish form a long-term habit, it is like the Arowana of Ao Tang, which is practiced by crabs every day, and finally takes sports juggling as an instinct.
But cetaceans are different, especially the dolphins among cetaceans, because of their superficial intelligence, they know fear, and can remember fear, and as long as they are afraid, they are easy to surrender. Ao Tang's coercion this time made Hu Ding's conquest and domestication of the dolphin much easier.
"Meet the Dragon King." Tiger Ding came out of the crowd, preded a lot in the past six months, desperately replenished the vitality of the aquarium, in terms of age, the tiger Ding is still underage, but it is already larger than the ordinary adult killer whale, with a length of more than 10 meters.
"Well done Huding." Ao Tang praised it, and then pointed to Mi Lu and said, "This is my wife." ”
Hu Ding is smart, immediately turned to Milu, erected his head, and floated in the water, which is one of the signature movements of cetaceans and dolphins, "floating peeping", and arching together with pectoral fins, just like human fists and saluting, and the head is also bowed, which is considered to be worshipping.
Mi Lu's face was full of joy, he smiled and beckoned, and shouted, "Hello Huding." ”
At this time, Ao Tang relieved the dragon king's coercion, and the Irrawaddy dolphins and ordinary killer whales were still silent and did not dare to move. Tiger Ding turned around and chirped a few times, and the ordinary killer whales immediately swam over, learned the movements of Tiger Ding, and paid homage to the Dragon King and the Dragon King's wife.
Mi Lu cheered even more: "Wow, even ordinary killer whales are so smart." ”
Ao Tang laughed and said: "This is the good of the leader of Hu Ding, and now there are dozens of them in front of me, and in the future, I will gather tens of thousands of cetaceans and dolphins and let them worship you, the main mother." ”
"Uh-huh." Mi Lu nodded busily, other men chasing women, offering 9,999 roses, or piling up flowers in a certain square, it is already very romantic, but Ao Tang can let tens of thousands of dolphins visit her, which is a happiness that other women can never have. And when the housemother said it, it made her heart even sweeter.
While he was immersed in joy, a disturber suddenly appeared in the distance, and a hovercraft appeared in the southwest direction, and Tutu Tutu sped away.
Seeing a machine gun on the ship, and thinking of the Andaman Islands in India to the southwest, Ao Tang knew that it was the Indian Navy that had arrived, and perhaps it was the super-large-scale dolphin swarm movement that attracted the attention of the Indians.
"It's not the Indian Navy, it's the Indian Coast Guard." After all, Mi Lu was born in a military family, and the army is extremely knowledgeable.
"India also has a coast guard, huh? I thought it was only in the United States. ”
Mi Lu grinned: "There are basically countries with sea areas, but the names are different, for example, we have five systems: border and coast guard, maritime supervision and law enforcement, fishery administration law enforcement, coast guard law enforcement, and customs anti-smuggling, which basically share the responsibilities of the coast guard." ”
"The hovercraft." Mi Lu took a closer look with a telescope, "It's the H182 of the Indian Coast Guard, bought from the British, although there are not many weapons, but there are many functions......"
Mi Lu thought about the information he had read back then, and casually reported the data, with a maximum sustained speed of 46 knots, a maximum intermittent speed of 51 knots, a cruising capacity of 400 nautical miles, and a crew of 14 people...... So fast! Ao Tang suddenly remembered, now this PB90 patrol boat, the maximum speed is only 28 knots, in fact, because of the aging, not even 14 knots, can not meet Ao Tang's dream of a sea ride. Looking at the speed at which this hovercraft is coming, it seems that it is well maintained, not 46 knots but also 40 knots, which is better than the 14 knots under the old feet.
Why don't you grab it and have fun?
