Chapter 56: Sperm Whale vs. King Squid

Xu Feng's plan, the next stop is a more famous port: the port of Malacca. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Strait of Malacca may be familiar to those who are familiar with geography, and it should be regarded as a relatively important artery connecting the world's maritime trade and transportation.

During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He docked at this port many times when he went to the West, so there are still many relics of Zheng He in the city of Malacca.

Xu Feng's route this time also has to pass through the Strait of Malacca, and needs to stop in Malacca for supplies.

"Report to the captain, there are huge waves and terrible cries in the sea ahead, and the first mate asks you to take a look on deck!" A pirate minion interrupted Xu Feng's relaxed calm, and his tone seemed to be very nervous.

Xu Feng got up, pushed open the door of the captain's room, and came to the deck at the bow of the ship, where he found that many pirates were looking into the distance calmly.

Following everyone's line of sight into the distance, they saw the waves churning a few nautical miles ahead, accompanied by a loud roar far beyond the waves.

"Tell the lookout to give me the binoculars!" Xu Feng immediately ordered, and after a short time, the telescope was handed to Xu Feng's hand.

Following the telescope, Xu Feng found a huge fish figure in the faint waves, which looked like a whale, but why did it toss so much? Aren't whales very docile in general?

Xu Feng ordered his pirates to drop all the sails, then reduce the speed to the minimum, and then climbed up to the highest observation deck on the ship with binoculars. He didn't dare to sail the ship directly to that unquiet sea, no matter why, a crazy whale was enough to bury his princess in the sea.

At this glance, Xu Feng observed for two hours, and finally saw what was going on. couldn't stop being excited, and then while watching, I kept imagining in my heart, thinking that I suddenly became a reporter from a TV station, doing a live TV broadcast in front of nearly 10 billion viewers around the world:

"Ocean TV, Ocean TV, here is the latest report brought to you by Xu Feng, the most famous gold medal commentator of Ocean Radio. At present, our ship is sailing in the waters of Southeast Asia, located at 106 °C east longitude and 3 °C north latitude, and in the sea area not far in front of me, a spectacular event that is rare in a century has occurred, a cross-century war that has never been seen before or since.

Audience friends, this is a cross-century battle. Let's start by introducing the players from both sides.

Red Player, Super Heavyweight from the Ocean: Sperm Whale with a body length of more than 15 meters! The weight can be up to 30 tons. It is said that sperm whales have excellent diving capabilities, diving up to 2,200 meters and can stay underwater for up to two hours, which is the best deep-sea overlord in the world.

Next up is our Blue Player: the Invincible Overlord from the Deep Sea, the legendary King Squid, if I'm not mistaken! Listen, what a domineering name, King? That's enough to show the strength of our blue players.

Now there is a fierce battle going on on both sides. From the analysis of the battle situation, it is now our red player Sperm Whale who has the upper hand, and the situation of the king squid does not look good, not good! The sperm whale actually bit the head of the king squid, which is a trick to cut off the offspring, but our blue player still hasn't given up, it's still resisting violently, amazing! The king squid actually used its huge washing plate to firmly block the sperm whale's nostril on the left side, which is the vent where the whale breathes.

Here I want to popularize science, although the sperm whale has two nostrils, but only the left nostril can breathe normally, and the right nostril is naturally blocked, and it has been just an ornament since ancient times.

The king squid's trick is really powerful, because the only nostril that can breathe is blocked, and the sperm whale helplessly opens its big mouth, wanting to breathe through its mouth.

The king squid took the opportunity to pull his head out of the bloody jaw.

The time for the counterattack has come, and our blue side players, the oversized king squid with a body length of more than 20 meters, is conducive to its thick tentacles to firmly entangle the mouth of the sperm whale.

The sperm whale struggled violently, and the two sides began an hour-long battle. Is it our overweight sperm whale that is the winner? Or will our blue player's extra-long king squid be able to hold out until victory? Let's wait and see!

Belch! If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown!

……

Xu Feng stopped his somewhat silly conjectures, looking at the sea that was gradually beginning to restore peace, and couldn't help but feel a little excited that he could see this kind of battle.

About sperm whales, Xu Feng is acquainted, because this animal is found in almost all seas, and its shadow can be found wherever it is. However, although they are carnivores, they generally do not attack human sailboats.

And the reason why it can be seen that the squid that fights the sperm whale is the king squid is because the king squid is one of the favorite foods of the sperm whale. They are natural predators, just like cats and mice, except that the king squid plays the role of a mouse.

Legend has it that the king squid can directly stretch its tentacles from the bottom of the sea to the ship, catch the seafarers on the ship and put them in their mouths, and even more powerfully, use its two strongest tentacles to cut the sailboat in two.

Under normal circumstances, the king squid is not the opponent of the sperm whale, but the king squid that Xu Feng met this time may be a battle thief among the squid, so he will knock down the sea from the deep sea.

If it was in the deep sea, the big nostrils of the sperm whale were blocked, and it is estimated that the outcome of this battle would be rewritten, but this poor squid was actually brought to the surface by the sperm whale, and the result can be imagined.

Although Xu Feng didn't see the scene where the sperm whale ate the king squid, judging from the tentacles that the king squid gradually let go at the end, it is estimated that this big squid will be more than lucky.

The play was over, and although Xu Feng had an endless aftertaste, he honestly climbed down from the lookout and returned the telescope to the lookout.

"That's it! Everyone obeys the order and immediately hoists the sails! Full speed ahead, target: Malacca Port! Xu Feng gave the order to move on, and then couldn't wait to return to the captain's room, because he unexpectedly saw this once-in-a-century battle, which was equivalent to having the most fierce conversation, and he now had to quickly find two beauties to brag 13!

[Note: The location is located in the long strait between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian-administered island of Sumatra.] The strait has a southeast-northwest trend. Its western part belongs to the Burmese Sea, and its southeastern end connects to the South China Sea. With a total length of about 1,080 kilometers, the widest part of the strait is 370 kilometers in the northwest and only 37 kilometers in the narrowest part of the Singapore Strait in the southeast. 】
