CHAPTER XXIV
Whether it's a sea dragon or a giant tiger fish, they are not on the list of the Washington Convention at the moment, which means that they have no protection in this world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Yankees are going through the process of domestic legislation, but Japan has not included these two sea monsters in the list at all in legislation - so it is legal to hunt these two monsters...... Of course, Greenpeace and animal protection groups don't see it that way.
But no matter how you look at it, the sea dragons and giant tiger fish that have recently attacked fishing boats in the three countries have crossed the line of protected animals - even Bengal tigers or Siberian tigers will most likely be killed if they attack and eat people, or at least they will be captured and taken to zoos. Moreover, the frequency of attacks and the number of people killed and injured by Hong Long and the little brother of the tiger fish are properly what they looked like in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - that is, the records of the Chavo man-eating lion and the Indian man-eating leopard and man-eating tiger...... Records show that Hong Long and the Tigerfish have killed at least 110 people, about half of them have been eaten to a greater or lesser extent, and they have sunk more than 20 fishing boats, damaged more than 100 fishing boats, and some of the missing fishing boats may have been the work of these two monsters who have toppled the Sea of Japan - and all this in just two months.
The largest number of fatalities were also found on the mainland, which also operated the most at sea, but South Korean fishing vessels were the highest proportionally speaking, while Japan had the second highest number of boat losses and human losses among the three countries, and there was even one unlucky Russian fishing boat on record.
Scientists can't tell whether the two sea monsters are associated or something else, but two completely different species can actually hunt together - yes, scientists see the sea dragon's attack on the fishing boat as a hunting activity, because there are also sightings of the sea dragon killing whales in the sea and eating it. It's a bit of a stretch to equate whales with fishing boats, but it's a possibility.
So now that the sea dragon has caused an incident, the little book will do it first.
In the sea area infested by sea dragons, it has long become a forbidden place for fishermen, who wants to send death to fish there. However, on the contrary, the planes of some of the three countries patrolled the sky, and in particular, the mainland maritime surveillance dispatched the most planes, and now public opinion on the mainland is also arguing with each other about whether to hunt or capture this sea dragon -- in the past, animals attacked people as anecdotes or old stories, but now it is a fact that is happening in front of us, a bloody fact, and the sea dragon really eats people. If it had been a shark instead of a dragon-like creature that all three countries had historically worshipped, it is estimated that an official action would have been made long ago...... In fact, the big ships of the sea guards have also begun to prepare to escort the large fishing boats that have been converted to catch the sea monster -- the reason why it is necessary to refit is because all the whaling ships on the mainland have long been withdrawn, and commercial whaling has long been illegal.
The Whale Maru had carefully arrived at its destination, the last documented attack had taken place in the nearby waters, and it was now possible to encounter the ferocious sea monster at any time, but it was also the goal of everyone - as long as the sea monster dared to surface - the heavy whaling fork with a barb on the bow of the ship was enough to cool the sea dragon! It is a murderous weapon propelled by gunpowder, with a conical arrow and four barbs that unfold when it hits the target, and if it hits, the countdown to life has already begun, and there will be an extremely painful bloodletting process before death.......
Hong Long didn't know that there were ships ready to deal with him, but he fully understood the power of human weapons, and according to his own opinion, not to mention any cannons and torpedoes, even small-caliber rifles, I am afraid that they are also difficult weapons to deal with. "I don't think that the carapace on Lao Tzu's abdomen and eyes can withstand the fire of a small-caliber rifle, as for the carapace on the back that can withstand 7.62, it's already good, and 12.7 is probably going to be over. But fortunately, the pistol can still block it, and I'm not afraid of those bullets when I'm underwater. "Hong Long used to be a fan of mythbusters, and he also watched one of the episodes of the rumor that a bullet was shot into the water, water can greatly reduce the power of bullets, and most of the bullets have reduced most of their kinetic energy when they are shot into the water one meter. So as long as he's in the water, there's no need to be afraid of guns or anything.
This sea dragon can absorb some of the oxygen from the water through the back of its mouth, and because it has three lungs, it can move underwater for more time than most whales. It's almost time for Hong Long to start all the way north with the little tiger fish brother and finally arrive at the Hokkaido fishing grounds.
So Whale Maru had already decided from the beginning that he would pounce this time, but the people on the ship didn't know it yet. They were still discussing how to lure the sea dragon out, "I think it's better to use whales, sea dragons eat whales, don't they?" Someone said that, and of course someone immediately said, "Why do I think it's cannibalism?" Whales are nothing more than concoctions. Of course, the man was quickly dragged out and beaten. The result of the discussion was to try it out with fish offal and fish oil and blood, and then see if we could use whales to trap the sea dragon.
Barrels of fishy fish oil, fish blood, and chopped fish head and tail entrails were thrown into the sea, staining a large area of sea water red, attracting a lot of sharks, but there was no sign of sea dragons and tiger fish, and after two weeks of circling around the sea, the whole group had to declare the failure of the capture and apologize to the people on television...... In the past two weeks, they killed two minke whales and did not induce sea dragons, which made the animal protection organization boil over the sky, and all kinds of condemnations appeared. And there have been no sea dragon attacks in the past two weeks, and there have been no sightings recorded in the Sea of Japan, so it looks like the sea dragon disappeared along with the tiger fish?
Of course this is impossible! On the fourth day after Whale Maru announced the failure of the operation, the Tsugaru Strait was still stormy and rough, and it was a good day to stand on the hill outside Cape Shirakami and watch the waves of the sea. There are indeed many tourists wearing raincoats and standing on the viewing platform at the top of the mountain and watching the waves. There are telescopes for a fee, and it is not the Japanese who are discovering the situation, but tourists from the mainland. Ma Qiang is very bored, this time he accompanied his godfather and godmother to Japan to play, according to the idea of this product, he went directly to Tokyo Kabukicho to spend a good flower, the result is a Hokkaido food tour, but the godfather can not object to the money, so this Ma Qiang can only obediently serve the two adults to play. So he was so bored that he spent money to go to the telescope, but instead of looking at Aomori across the sea, he shook the fixed telescope and looked left and right. This look shows that the hall of fame is coming.
Ma Qiang suddenly stood up, still holding the telescope with both hands, but this guy scolded indistinctly, and then bent down excitedly to lean on the telescope, and when he stood up again, he began to yell!
