CHAPTER XXVI
Just as the whaling ships began to make their way to the Hokkaido fishing grounds, the discussion about the sea dragon also reached a peak, and the question was who had the right to name the creature? In the end, it was the Yankees who snatched the right, and although it was the Japanese fishermen who first saw the sea monster, the Yankees believed that their submarine was the first to encounter the sea dragon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And the United States is far ahead in biological science, the study of paleontology is the first in the world, so they first zoological classification of sea dragons.
First of all, there is no doubt about the vertebrate subphylum of the phylum Chordates, and then the reptiles are also accepted by most scientists, but there is controversy about whether it is a suborder of tuning or a suborder of dipholes, the former is a variety of plesiosaurs and upper dragons, and the latter is dinosaurs and cangsaurs, and the debate is concentrated here about which of these sea dragons is descended. Of course, the Yankees themselves were arguing, and in the end they could only vaguely assume that they were descendants of some kind of dragon of the order Dikoreidae - after all, the extinction of the upper dragons was much earlier than the dragons.
"So it's the Canglong family?" As soon as such words were spoken, they immediately caused a wave of rebuttals. Judging from the pictures and photos, it is difficult to say that Hong Long is a scaly order above the Canglong - because what he has on his body is definitely not a scale armor, but more similar to a thick carapace, which is the difference between scale armor and plate armor. And the limbs of this sea dragon are very obvious to crawl on the ground like crocodiles, which is completely different from the cangsaurus that has become flippers and can only be in the sea. Unless there are fossils that prove that one of the species climbed onto land, the sea dragon should never be included in the family Sauridae.
Thus a completely new family appeared, the Sea Dragons. And Hong Long was fortunate enough to be a unique creature of the family - the sea dragon of the family Hailong, the sea dragon of the family Ichir - because the famous paleontologist was of Germanic origin...... But this was undoubtedly condemned and ignored by the Asian countries - the mainland usually called this sea dragon Ao Guang Dragon or Sea Dragon King, while the Japanese generally called it the Eight Miscellaneous Dragons, and the Koreans simply called it Sejong Dawang Dragon, but the northern branch called it General Kim Dragon...... But Hong Long didn't care what his name was, anyway, he knew that he had a name - Hong Long. But sometimes he is a little self-deprecating, "If it is the full name, shouldn't you call me Hong Longlong?" When did I become Sonic Boom......"
At present, Hong Long is cruising with the tiger fish brother in the vast Hokkaido fishing grounds, and the abundant seafood makes the two sea monsters full of brains, and the radiation-rich aquatic products greatly promote the further development of the two sea monsters. Bo Fu, who caused all this, was quite disciplined, and he limited Hong Long to a real creature - although it was not very scientific at all, but this was still a real system, wasn't it, so Hong Long's growth was really limited - about thirty meters was his limit, although the reptile grew for life, but even if he lived for a thousand years, the final length would never exceed forty meters. Of course, the same is true for his little brother of the tigerfish, who will never be more than 15 meters long - even this fish will live for thousands of years.
The thirty-meter-long sea dragon and the twelve-meter-long tiger fish are already sea monsters, and if it weren't for Bo Fu's discipline, Godzilla would have shown you every minute - after all, this thing also has a history of Bo Futon. Thanks to the advent of sea dragons, Hokkaido's fishing industry plummeted, and no fishermen dared to go out to sea to fight for their lives, and at best they fished in shallow offshore waters, but they did not catch valuable big fish, especially tuna, which is the favorite of the Japanese. Cutting off people's fortunes is like killing one's parents - if not worse, so everyone calls out to the brothers of the whaling ship and offers them a reward to kill the sea dragon - as for animal protection? Treasured ancient creatures? If Lao Tzu's wealth is cut off, he will die! If you can't repay the loan, Lao Tzu is worse than feeding the sea dragon, do you know!
The whaling ship used fish blood and the like to lure the sea monster, but this time it used sonar more advanced - the sonar used for fishing. If you were a stupid beast, you would probably be spotted by these boats, or caught by them, or lured to the surface by a whaling fork to kill them. But Hong Long is wise, he saw these warships that killed countless whales from a distance, and while sneering, he very simply found a hard-to-find sea cave on the complex coastline of Hokkaido and climbed in it directly to sleep, while the little brother of the tiger fish habitually only migrated in the sea near the cave where Hong Long was, and was not fooled at all.
These ships drift on the sea, and every day is a waste of silver, and it is very expensive to go on like this. So after a whole week of nothing, I had to roll back in disgrace. Hong Long is not interested in fighting to the death with the gunpowder-propelled whaling cannons, and it is too tiring to dive into the sea to row the bottom of the whaling ship, and the wear and tear of his minions is also quite serious, so when it is time to admit it, the financial pressure on the guy who is rolling back is even more serious, isn't it?
The big boats rolled back, but due to the pressure of life, those fishing boats and shrimp boats still had to go to sea. Now that the well-fed sea dragons don't want to sink them all in the sea, Hong Long decides to pick some of the unlucky ones to attack and remind them of the fear of the ocean being ruled by dragons......
That's what Hong Long thinks, and that's what he does, usually in a whim, picking a random unlucky guy and launching a lightning attack, but sometimes he frolicks like a cat and mouse, slowly driving the fishermen into despair. But this time, unless he died in the attack, Hong Long will not attack the fishermen who fell into the water again - but it is estimated that some of them would rather be killed if they think of the loan or something, after all, the insurance claim does not consider the sea dragon as force majeure, does it.
As attacks become more common, so does the knowledge of this surprisingly ferocious sea monster. Marine surveillance vessels began to conduct intensive patrols of the fishing grounds, and even the shadow of a U.S. Coast Guard vessel appeared here. As a result of the numerous attacks, there is a constant debate over whether or not he should be included in the Washington Convention - and there is a dispute over whether to protect a rare creature that has become a habit of attacking humans. The East Asian view is that the sea monster must be killed or at least captured, while the Western view is that the sea dragon that appears to be only one must be protected - except for Honglong, there is no trace of a second sea dragon in the entire East Asian sea, from the South China Sea in the south to the Sea of Okhotsk in the north.
The high intensity of patrolling of Hokkaido's fishing grounds caused Hirotaka to relocate him, and he once again appeared in the waters of the Sea of Japan near the mainland – and this time it was the turn of the fishermen of the peninsula and the fishermen of the mainland to be unlucky.
