Chapter 293: What Is This?

Since ancient times, the oceans have been mysterious and unfathomable.

Then, as soon as it was unfathomable, various legends came, among which was the legend of the sea monster.

Fishermen and sailors from all over the world have tales of terrifying sea monsters. According to legend, these sea monsters tend to be huge and strangely shaped, even with seven or nine heads.

However, with the development of science and technology and the further understanding of marine life, people have slowly solved some mysteries.

Someone has collected and analyzed nearly 1,000 reports of sea monster discoveries in the past few hundred years, excluding those that may be wrong, deliberately deceiving people, and those that are not clearly written, and there are more than 300 cases that are believed to be credible.

They fed all the details of these reports into the computer and analyzed them, and came up with several typical sea monsters, and although there were still exaggerations in these reports, people in them also found some truths to some extent.

It's a well-known fact that there is no shortage of oversized creatures in the oceans, and even more so in the ancient days of the dinosaurs.

So a lot of the sea monsters that some people see may be ancient relics, descendants of giant ancient creatures that are not extinct, or simply some kind of giant cetacean, or even some kind of genetic mutant.

There is also a typical multi-legged sea monster, which often appears in sea legends and literature, and people also find prototypes in the sea, that is, the king squid and the king squid.

The king squid can grow to about 20 meters, and the king squid can grow so much that they are both the largest invertebrates in the world. They are extremely ferocious, feed on fish and invertebrates, and can fight giant whales.

In ancient times, shipbuilding technology was not developed, and it was impossible to build too large ships, if you saw this kind of fight between giant beasts in the sea, it must be the sea water rolling, stirring up turbid waves, plus the huge size comparable to the hull of a ship, this is not a sea monster anything.

However, this is not too big for a modern ship, but the largest confirmed king squid or king squid is only a dozen meters long, and it is only speculation that they can grow to more than 20 meters.

But since it is speculation, it is not conclusive.

A 17-metre-long king squid has been measured to have 9.5 centimeters in diameter with suction cups on its wrists and feet. However, from the captured sperm whales, sucker scars of king squid with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters have been found.

It is speculated that the king squid that has fought with this whale may have been 60 meters long or even more.

If there really is such a big king squid, it is not far from the legendary "North Sea Giant Demon Kraken".

Therefore, before the ocean is fully explored, it is better not to be so subjective and self-righteous, then it is not far from danger.

Although Dong Chen's mission this time is to go to the sky, he will not change the route and wander around, but this does not prevent him from exploring on the route, so he will turn on the life detection device.

I thought what if I ran into it?

Isn't that what happened?

"What is it? Is it a whale? What kind of whale? Or a giant octopus or something? Dong Chen asked curiously.

28 meters is not small.

"The target is too far away for the feedback to form a concrete shape, and it needs to be within 50 kilometers to complete." The Advance intelligently replied.

"Okay, then lean over immediately," Dong Chen said, "You said that the front is on our waterway, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Captain, to be precise, the other party is moving towards us, if the other party does not turn, within 13 minutes, the other party will enter the feedback imaging range and life signal comparison range of the Advance."

"Good, I'm going to see what it is." Dong Chen muttered to himself.

Ten minutes passed immediately, and it was okay at first, the life signal had been coming in this direction, but in the 12th minute, it turned to the northwest, but fortunately, it was very close, and the opponent's movements were much slower than the advance number, and in the 13th minute, the opponent's simulated image finally appeared on the screen.

After seeing the simulated image of the other party, Dong Chen was directly stunned.

"Brother...... Godzilla? ”

It's not that Dong Chen is talking nonsense, but the biological image on the screen has to make him think about it in this way.

Because it is in the sea, it is in a swimming position, its forelimbs and hind limbs are basically attached to its body, and the back half of its tail gradually becomes erect and flattened, which shows that its advance depends on the twisting of its body and tail.

It swims like a crocodile, and its appearance is somewhat similar, with nails like crocodiles, and bony dorsal fins on its back, but it is much larger than that of crocodiles, and looks harder.

However, the proportions of the limbs are not like crocodiles, and its hind limbs are obviously much thicker, so it looks a bit like a carnivorous dinosaur such as Tyrannosaurus rex, but its forelimbs are not as small as those of the Tyrannosaurus Sky, and it is obviously much more combative.

And its 28-meter-long size has to remind people of the word "Godzilla".

However, compared to the traditional Japanese Godzilla, it is more like the American Godzilla that is not recognized by Japan and has been transformed from a lizard exposed to nuclear radiation.

While Dong Chen was still looking at the shape of this thing, the Advance Intelligence said again, "Mr. Captain, the target biological signal has been matched, please check." ”

Hearing this, Dong Chen looked at the matching data next to him again.

The name column is left blank to indicate that it is not a species that exists now, nor a recorded paleontology, but a new species.

Next in first place is the lizard, with a 72% similarity in life signals.

And then there's the crocodile, which has a 20% similarity.

There are also 3% similarity of life signals of reptiles such as snakes and turtles, and 5% of life signal similarity of marine organisms.

Radioactive material was detected in the organism.

An electronic device was detected inside the creature's body.

The more Dong Chen looked at this information, the more he felt that this creature looked like Godzilla, especially when he saw that the latter sentence contained radioactive materials in his body, he felt that he had not run away.

However, when he saw the last sentence, saying that there were electronic devices on this creature's body, Dong Chen was a little confused.

Clicking on the last sentence, a pop-up window immediately popped up on the screen.

After reading the content in the pop-up window, Dong Chen realized that the electronic devices on this creature were not one, but two.

One is on a dorsal ridge, and from the type of signal emitted, it should be a positioning device.

Another interesting place is in the head, and it seems to be used to issue orders.

Because within the detection range of the Advance, it turned two more ways, and each time it changed direction, the electronics in its head sent a signal.

The signal has no actual content, it is just a simple signal, but the signal length is different, just like using long-term conditioning to control pets.

That's where the interesting situation comes in.

If there is only one positioning device, it can be said that it was discovered by accident, and then I found it interesting to put on the positioning device for tracking research.

Some real-world marine biology institutes or marine life conservation organizations have done just that.

But now it's clearly being controlled, which makes people think about something else.

And looking at the size and appearance of this guy, it is very likely that it was created by genetic technology, and it was also a benign genetic mutation caused by radioactive material irradiation, otherwise it would not have grown like this and grown so big.

This made Dong Chen think of artificial biological weapons.
