Chapter 41: Seabed Breeder Reactor (Part I)
"Our task today is to carefully investigate the ecosystem of Tridacnis. I hope you will cooperate well and strive to find the miracle as soon as possible! Do you understand? On the morning of the 22nd, Zhou Qiaoqiao called five people to him and analyzed his plan. Considering the special geographical location of Octopus Paradise in the Emperor's Seamount, a preliminary exploration of the structure of the Emperor's Seamount is carried out by the way. may have been overly excited, only mentioning the Tridacnic Continent, and not mentioning the emperor Haishan, which attracted a lot of discussion.
"Tridacn? Huhu, I said sister, can you stop talking so stupid? Directly say that you can find someone to accompany you to the small world to experience romantic sunbathing. It's so obscure, oops, it's easy to think about it! Xia Xingyu jumped a few times excitedly and spoke first.
"We need to have a sense of urgency to save the world. Sightseeing will only cost more lives. "Tuna tips.
Ouyang Lan stared at Zhou Qiaoqiao's brutal eyes, and sighed softly, what she was most worried about was that Zhou Qiaoqiao snatched her Yun Longfei, and she couldn't get rid of her fear. She took her hand and said calmly: "I hope everyone will work together to face the apocalyptic crisis of the world. If it's just for the two of us to keep going on and on, then what's the point of so-called happiness? We can talk about it when we get back to Beijing. ”
Yun Longfei heard the meaning of Ouyang Lan's words, didn't say a word, turned around and walked to the dart-shaped submarine, and began to sort out the necessary materials, including weapons.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's face turned purple with anger, and he broke away from Ouyang Lan's hand angrily, and shouted angrily: "Oh my God, what are you gods thinking about?" Didn't you hear my decision? Investigate the ecosystem of Tridacna Island and discover the special structure of the Emperor's Seamount! Do you understand? Do you understand everything? Who dares to talk nonsense again, beware of my sister scolding him for three thousand generations! Dislike! ”
Four people immediately agreed. Only Yun Longfei stayed away from her and turned a deaf ear. Zhou Qiaoqiao crossed her hands on her hips and watched his every move angrily. If it weren't for Ouyang Lan standing beside her to dissuade her, I'm afraid she would have to make things difficult for Yun Longfei again!
Yun Longfei was busy in obscurity. One moment to sort out the data, one moment to carry weapons, another time to overhaul the dart submarine, in short, there is not a single minute to idle. Ouyang Lan and Ma Yu couldn't stand it and went over to help. Jin Kun and Xia Xingyu planned to carry the firearms, but were stopped by Zhou Qiaoqiao. Xia Xingyu was a little reluctant, and Zhou Qiaoqiao glared at him fiercely, which frightened Xia Xingyu's forehead sweating, so she had to stand behind her and watch. The two understood that she was torturing Yun Longfei in disguise.
Everything is ready. The Einsatzpen sat on a dart-shaped submarine, piloted by Xia Xingyu, and swam to Tridacna Island.
…………………………
Tridacnis is a small sandy island located 30 kilometres north of Octopus Paradise with a small area of only 20,000 square metres. The island has a rare clamshell shape and is full of character. The island is densely wooded, vibrant, and full of green life, like a paradise. What makes it unique: On the 50-meter-wide beach, thousands of clams are stacked horizontally, which is quite spectacular! Viewed from above, the island looks like a shining pearl embedded in the deep blue sea. Shocking! This is the extraordinary wonder of nature!
Ma Jue and Xia Xingyu were responsible for guarding the dart-shaped submarine, and Yun Longfei, Zhou Qiaoqiao, Ouyang Lan and Jin Kun landed on the island to investigate. The beach is dotted with a variety of clams, and Zhou Qiaoqiao can distinguish all the species of clams at a glance: large clams, scaly clams, scaleless clams, devil's clams, rib clams, red clams, long clams, and Roche clams. But shockingly, most of them are outrageously large. The largest devil's clams are 10 meters long. What a once-in-a-lifetime super miracle! In Zhou Qiaoqiao's impression, the largest clams are only 2 meters in size. Under normal circumstances, these super kings would not be possible. She began to doubt the normality of the island's ecosystem.
The same problem is in the forest. Yun Longfei and Jin Kun found that there were many anomalies in the forest. The first is that you can't see any animals. Secondly. A group of strange trees that are not known grow very luxuriantly, and the ground is darkened by large fan-shaped leaves. The vines inside are densely packed, and a large number of insect traps and insect traps lurk inside. The two were shocked, isn't that a man-eating strain? Finally, the forest can actually emit a slight smell of sea! Isn't this the realm of the Dead that looks like an oasis?
The most terrifying thing is Ouyang Lan's astonishing discovery. She loves all kinds of delicate seashells on the beach, and can't help but run over to take pictures, only to find a large number of strange footprints on the beach. These footprints are very special, almost all of them are several thorn pits more than 20 meters long, each thorn pit is half a meter in diameter, plus the round cake-like traces surrounding it, it is not difficult to speculate that the huge footprints come from the giant octopus dark beast, whose individual is at least more than 100 meters! This had already frightened Ouyang Lan, and what was even more terrifying was that a large number of human skulls had appeared in the shallow sea nearby! What kind of oasis is this? It's clearly a terrifying world of death! Ouyang Lan couldn't stand the stimulation, couldn't help screaming, and retreated step by step.
The three of them immediately rushed to Ouyang Lan's side, paying attention to her discovery, and became more and more panicked.
"The Dark Beasts have already been here, and many people have been wiped out here." Yun Longfei carefully examined the size of the thorn pit and was secretly surprised.
"It's not a good place, the forest is a paradise for cannibals, a real cannibal cave. It's hard for me to imagine how this kind of guy could be here. The tuna glanced back at the forest, looking confused and frightened.
"It's clear that somebody is doing something here." Yun Longfei stepped on the beach vigorously, and under the thin layer of sand was a large number of coral rocks.
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked left and right and gasped. "There's no ecosystem here, it's the realm of the Dark Beasts. It's horrible! ”
"What's more, it's only 30 kilometers from Octopus Land! If the Dark Beast were to attack Octopusland, oh my God, I couldn't have imagined it! Ouyang Lan exclaimed, "Danger is already approaching the doorstep. What should we do? I'm really scared! ”
"Fear will not solve anything, we must face everything bravely." Yun Longfei gently patted the shoulders of the two big beauties and gave them confidence, "Since there are traces of dark beasts in Tridacna Continent, then the Emperor Haishan under the sea will not be much better. ”
"Do you mean that there may also be a Dark Beast near the Emperor's Seamount?" Ouyang Lan asked.
Yun Longfei nodded heavily. "There must be traces of them. Things are starting to come to an eyebrow. ”
…………………………
The four people quickly returned to the dart-shaped submarine and carried out seabed exploration according to Yun Longfei's suggestion. The Emperor Seamount stretches for more than 2,000 kilometers from north to south and is 110 kilometers wide from east to west. From the base of the seabed, the highest point will be more than 4,000 meters. If the structure of the Emperor's seamount is fully explored, it will be a long-term and huge project. How can it be detected in two or three days? If you want to detect anomalies, you are looking for a needle in a haystack! Yun Longfei has long considered these drawbacks, and in order to improve work efficiency, combined with the scope of the mysterious shipwreck forbidden area, the detection target is locked on the seabed north of Octopus Paradise and within a radius of 500 kilometers. At least 60 mysterious shipwrecks have occurred in this area.
The dart-shaped submarine sailed out of the shallow continental shelf on the west side of Tridach Island and slowly dived along the ridge. After 70 meters above sea level, the water was already pitch black. Yun Longfei turned on the super strong spotlights in 6 directions of the hull and took a closer look ahead. The luminosity is good. Large objects can be seen up to 500 meters ahead. Of course, this is the realm of the Dead World, and there is no sign of life in sight. The Einsatzgruppen carefully observed the shape of the ridge and found that there were tooth marks left by creatures in many places, showing a long series of several strings, which lasted for more than 500 meters, which can be described as a masterpiece! In some places, there are even two rows of huge hook marks with a diameter of 10 meters and a depth of 50 meters, which stretch into an arc-shaped chain more than 200 meters long, which is particularly amazing! The Einsatzgruppen couldn't imagine the size of the creature that created the grappling marks! Zhou Qiaoqiao speculated. It is a strange creature similar to the Kolosblaeksprutte, which is at least 1,800 meters long. However, the maximum size of the king squid is only 20 meters, compared to the strange creatures that leave hook marks. Far from an order of magnitude! Of all the dark beasts found so far, only the Overlord Anemone Demon can reach this standard, but it has no hooked claws on its giant brachial feet. It's clear that the hook marks are from another supergiant creature! The horrors of the Dark Beast. Far more than just the disaster brought by the Overlord Anemone Demon!
The dart-shaped submarine dived to the bottom of the sea and did not find any suspicious creatures, there was no life there at all. The dividing line between the emperor's seamount and the basin is very clear. It appears that there has been a considerable undersea orogeny. A 50-kilometer-long mountain, unbelievably affected by the mantle or some supernatural factor outside, rises from the bottom of the sea and grows to form two strange islands. According to the time when the satellite discovered the island, the island was born no more than 6 years ago. It is also a miracle that this kind of super-scale submarine orogeny has not been detected by the countries of the world! While the Einsatzgruppen was shocked, they began to wonder if the cause of the island was an unknown supernatural factor.
The dart-shaped submarine sailed north along the seabed, until it crossed the natural highest point of the Emperor Seamount, entered the east side of the Emperor Sea, continued to dive to the bottom of the sea, and sailed 20 kilometers south along the mountain baseline, and generally saw the wrinkles of the orogeny. The Einsatzgruppen team preliminarily concluded that the mountain ascent may not have been formed by an ordinary orogenic movement.
During the voyage of the dart-shaped submarine, Zhou Qiaoqiao discovered a most evil thing: all the sea creatures around the emperor's seamount completely disappeared!
…………………………
"Sister Zhou, sailing in the bottomless ocean is really exciting and frightening. Our investigation is over, is it possible to return? Xia Xingyu turned his head and asked Zhou Qiaoqiao, who was sitting in the back seat.
Zhou Qiaoqiao kept observing the topography of the mountains and the seabed, and was particularly excited and excited. After a while, he said slowly: "Well, the ecosystem here is all gone, it's abnormal!" Let's investigate 300 kilometers further! ”
"300 km?" Xia Xingyu exclaimed, "Sister, have you made a mistake?" If you sail another 300 kilometers, we'll be in Octopus Land! Huhu, brother doesn't want to do any useless work, and wants to go back early for a hearty meal! ”
"You know how to eat! It's strange that I don't feed you to the king squid! Zhou Qiaoqiao sank her face and was angry.
"Well, let's investigate another 100 kilometers, and if we don't find anything unusual, we'll go back. What do you think? Ouyang Lan stood up and played a round game.
"That's it!" Everyone agreed.
Yun Longfei glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao beside him, smiled and shook his head helplessly. Zhou Qiaoqiao glared at him angrily.
The dart-shaped submarine dived to a position 300 meters above the bottom of the sea and slowly sailed south along the mountain. The speed of 30 knots is enough to see the structure of the seabed and mountains. They are convinced that the mysterious shipwreck in the Pacific Northwest is no accident. A lot of information shows that the sea area about 300 kilometers north of Octopus Paradise may be the source of the accident, and a large number of submarines have mysteriously disappeared. China's stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have also twice spotted a large number of unidentified sea monsters haunting here. One of the purposes of the Einsatzgruppen was to find the wreckage of the submarine. Until 9:50 a.m. in East 11th District. They got nothing.
Yun Longfei looked at the sea water outside the window and said to himself: "How good it would be to be able to stage a classic battle between a sperm whale and a king squid in such a spectacular underwater world!" ”
"Let the king squid eat you first!" Zhou Qiaoqiao leaned on Yun Longfei's right shoulder and shook him angrily.
It didn't matter, and a floating black shadow suddenly appeared 600 meters ahead. The Einsatzgruppen realized that it could be a sea creature. What exciting news to see a creature in the depths of the lifeless ocean! Zhou Qiaoqiao ignored the warnings of Yun Longfei and Ouyang Lan, and insisted on asking to meet him and see what was going on. Outcome. The two are close to each other, and what is presented in front of the Einsatzgruppen is a purple-black super king squid! This guy is 50 meters long and is devouring a 16-meter sperm whale. The sperm whale is entangled in 10 giant brachiopods, and its head has long since become an empty skeleton. A faint mist of blood filled the sea, exuding a bloody and terrifying atmosphere! The king squid was able to eat the sperm whale, which is good news! Zhou Qiaoqiao recognized at a glance that the giant beast in front of him was not a biologically recognized king squid, the normal organism was red, and its size was far from that big! She looked closely and found out. That guy actually has a ring-toothed round mouth at the tip of his wrist and foot! It's clearly a dark beast!
The Einsatzgruppen was terrified, who would have expected that they would run into such a monster!
"Oops, super scary! What do we do now? Xia Xingyu panicked. Ask for advice from Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"What do you say? Pighead, do you want us all to become a meal for the dark beasts? Don't run yet! Zhou Qiaoqiao was anxious, stomped his feet and shouted.
"Yes...... But where are you going? ”
"Silly melon. Run up! ”
Seeing the dark beast slowly swimming towards the dart-shaped submarine, Jin Kun said uneasily, "I'm afraid we can't run away, we should deal with that guy calmly." ”
I'm talking. The hull of the boat shook violently, and there was a great danger of being blown up. A huge brachial foot covers the observation window in front of it. All the Einsatzgruppen could see was a fraction of a giant suction cup with a diameter of 40 meters! At the same time, two hideous-looking skeleton octopuses swam to both sides of the dart-shaped submarine, and a pair of red eyes as big as oil drums reflected an eerie fierce light! The skeleton octopus is huge, with a body length of more than 100 meters, how can a 12-meter-long dart-shaped submarine withstand the siege of the behemoth? What's more, the troll that can easily suck the dart-shaped submarine with just one giant brachiopod is not an ordinary individual, but a giant dark octopus up to 1,200 meters long! This behemoth can destroy an aircraft carrier in seconds! Any warship that hits this super monster can only be hung by a group! What's more, it's such a small point as a dart-shaped submarine!
The dart-shaped submarine was trapped, the Einsatzgruppen fell into chaos, and Zhou Qiaoqiao and Ouyang Lan cried in fright. Only Yun Longfei always remained calm. There is no absolute doom in the world, and miracles can happen at any time! He suddenly thought of the special relationship between the dark beast and the Black Cross organization, they are an organization, why not imitate and hang the logo map of the Black Cross organization, maybe there is a way out! Thinking of this, Yun Longfei immediately took out two black mandala logo drawings from the information bag under the seat and pasted them on the protective windows on the left and right sides. They were right in the sight of the Darkbeast. Sure enough, a miracle happened! The dart-shaped submarine that was about to approach the mouth of the giant dark octopus was abruptly stopped and unexpectedly released! Then, several tiny dark beasts swam near the dart-shaped submarine, seemingly guiding the Einsatzgruppen to an uncharted territory. The Einsatzgruppen understand that they think of themselves as their own. Luckily, thankfully!
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't care whether Yun Longfei agreed or not, and forcibly leaned on his shoulder to take a nap to relieve his nervousness. Ouyang Lan sat on Zhou Qiaoqiao's right side, very indignant in her heart, but she was helpless, let's talk about it after the crisis together!
Ten minutes later, the dart-shaped submarine was led to an unfamiliar area and stopped. The giant dark octopus swam straight ahead and quickly vanished. Other dark beasts swam quickly to the bottom of the ocean. There are only dart-shaped submarines, alone in the dark and empty sea.
"Where is this?" Zhou Qiaoqiao asked nervously.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be too bad in the world, at least we're all safe and sound now." Yun Longfei looked out the window, and a hand holding a uranium shooting gun slowly loosened.
"This is definitely the fairyland we have always dreamed of, and the best clue to it! Look, what's on the other side of the sea? Ouyang Lan stood up. Nervously and excitedly staring in the direction of the bottom of the sea.
The Einsatzgruppen looked at the bottom of the sea and was shocked! What do they see? Hemispherical pink buildings with a diameter of about 300 meters are scattered across the flat seabed. Each building glows a faint pink glow. The luminous area is huge, and it is rare in the Three Realms. Although the light is far less than the sun, it can be compared to 5 Mid-Autumn full moons! It was a spectacular sight for the Einsatzgruppen to see from 500 meters above the seabed. Everyone wonders: what are the pink buildings on the bottom of the sea?
In order to see the face of the pink building clearly, Yun Longfei motioned to Xia Xingyu to dive the dart-shaped submarine to a distance of 150 meters from the pink building. Under the super-powered spotlights and pink light, all the buildings under the sea can be seen in full view. The scene was creepy. The pink building is a charming light pink color throughout, with a group of slender vessel-like objects scattered on the surface of the building in a net, and the dark pink wrinkled membranes with a diameter of up to 1 meter are dotted between the grids, which fluctuate regularly under the perturbation of water pressure. It seems to be exchanging some kind of invisible matter or energy with the seawater. The whole shell is not as safe as a rock, but constantly emitting a slight and irregular shaking. The outer shell is a thick, translucent body that completely obscures the large amount of luminous light within. The Einsatzgruppen speculated that the luminaries could be artificial suns. Groups of slightly fainter objects move around the building, sometimes converging, sometimes scattering, sometimes obscuring some of the bright areas. The Einsatzgruppen were suspicious of the nature of the moving objects. What are they? Is it a special undersea base built by humans? Or is it an underwater civilization built by people under the sea? Or is it some other mysterious object? The pink buildings are not only large in scale, but also in large numbers, a rough number. There are thousands! What an exaggerated and huge complex of mysterious buildings!
"Those buildings are so vivid, so cute! Let's dive to the bottom of the sea and have a look! Zhou Qiaoqiao suggested.
Others applauded. Xia Xingyu couldn't wait to drive a dart-shaped submarine into it and enjoy this rare paradise!
Only Yun Longfei stared at the pink building for a long time, and seemed to find something abnormal. "Wait! We can't go in! It may not be an undersea base there. ”
Yun Longfei pointed to the edge of the pink building. A swarm of black objects quietly moved to the inner edge of the building. After hesitating for a while, he finally got out. When the Einsatzgruppen looked closely, it turned out to be a group of strangely shaped dark beasts! Human-faced fanged octopus monster, skeletal octopus, staggered octopus, roundmouth octopus, anemone octopus, thousand-eyed octopus, brain tumor octopus...... There are so many of them, and the appearance is quite terrifying! These guys are all about 3 meters long. They quickly swam to the foot of the Emperor's Haishan not far away. Throw yourself into a pile of rubble and eat it. The Einsatzgruppen were amazed, the dark beast actually ate stones? No, exactly. They eat a variety of ores, including coal, various living and organic matter, and even metal scraps. Even more terrifying things are yet to come, the body of the dark beast grows larger as the amount of food it consumes, and in just 15 minutes, it quickly expands from the initial 3 meters to more than 10 meters! The size of the dark octopus and the skeletal octopus has increased to more than 50 meters! This is really a rare "ultimate growth technique"! The Einsatzgruppen finally saw the food source of the dark beasts, but they did not expect that they had such a terrifying dietary function, far beyond the bottom line of normal creatures' metabolism. There are countless mineral energy sources in the ocean, and it is no problem to sustain the survival of the dark beasts. The Einsatzgruppen even wondered if they were carbon-based creatures or not.
The next step in figuring out where the Dark Beasts come from is where they come from. Coincidentally, a group of dark octopuses dragged a bunch of basketball-sized "flesh eggs" into each pink building. The outer shell of the building seems to be very accommodating to the Dark Beasts, allowing them to come and go freely. After the "flesh egg" enters the interior, a group of black objects quickly disperses into the bright area and stands still. Half an hour later, the dark area in the pink building increased in a large area, and began to move closer to the edge, and after a while, thousands of small dark beasts drilled out of the pink building, and then swam to the ore pile at the foot of the Emperor's Haishan Mountain, repeating the actions of the previous batch of dark beasts just now, and soon turned into a behemoth with a body length of 10-50 meters! The same process is happening in other pink buildings. In just one hour, hundreds of thousands of dark beasts emerged from the pink building, grew into giant individuals, and then swam across the Emperor's Seamount and rushed to the waters of the Northwest Pacific! Only then did the task force realize that those pink buildings were actually biological multiplication piles dedicated to cultivating dark beasts! All of the Darkbeast's development is done in these underwater creatures multiplication piles! No wonder the number of dark beasts invading the coastal countries of the Northwest Pacific continues unabated, I see! This fabulous super-cutting-edge technology is by no means beyond the reach of current human beings!
"It's horrible! We've got to destroy these guys right now! Otherwise, human civilization will be completely destroyed by them! Zhou Qiaoqiao nervously stood up and asked to launch the shaped torpedo.
"Do you want to die now?" Yun Longfei slanted at Zhou Qiaoqiao's panicked expression and pressed her to the seat.
"What do you say? Do you want them to continue to run rampant? Humans will definitely finish playing! Zhou Qiaoqiao shouted angrily.
"Long Fei is right, it's useless for us to be anxious now." Ouyang Lan held Zhou Qiaoqiao's shoulders and said softly, "If the bombs can really work on them, wouldn't the nuclear submarines of the United States and Russia have discovered them and destroyed them a long time ago?" Do we need to do it now? They are able to do this without any interference, and they obviously have superpowers. Our weapons do nothing against them. If you want to blow up this place, there may be only one way, and that is to find their weak spots. ”
"Isn't their nemesis uranium?" Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
Yun Longfei shook his head slightly. "It shouldn't be more than that. Strictly speaking, uranium is not the ideal weapon against them. There are millions of them, and how much uranium do we have to deal with them? And that's not even taking into account radioactive contamination! There is definitely a reason for the incident, it must be a trap! These guys are man-made, and the real intention of the designers is probably that we will destroy them with uranium, and then we will be destroyed by radioactive contamination of our own making. Don't you think it's a vicious serial trap? The only way to deal with them should be to discover their weaknesses. Otherwise, we will never win. ”
"So, according to you, what are we going to do?"
"To find their true weakness, we must first find the mysterious stronghold of the Black Cross, the owner who created them. Now, that's what we're ultimately aiming for. Yun Longfei took the picture of the biological proliferation pile taken by Ouyang Lan and looked at it with a solemn expression.
"The vast sea is so big, it is 10,000 times more difficult to find their mysterious stronghold than to find a needle in a haystack." Xia Xingyu looked up and marveled, at a loss.
"Don't worry, we've found these bio-proliferation piles, and I'm sure their stronghold won't be too far from here." Ouyang Lan comforted everyone.
As he spoke, a 160-meter-long US nuclear submarine slowly sank down from a short distance ahead. The hull is riddled with holes, with no less than 50 holes up to 3 meters in diameter, and it is likely to be the masterpiece of the Roundmouth Monster. The hull was heavily twisted and deformed, and based on the suction cup marks on the hull, it was assumed that it had also been attacked by a giant dark beast with a body length of more than 800 meters. The size of that behemoth is second only to the Overlord Anemone Demon. The nuclear submarine crashed into the bio-breeding reactor, and the task force hoped that the wreckage would be able to open a big hole in it so that they could get a glimpse of the true face of Lushan, or take the opportunity to launch a shaped torpedo to blow it up. However, when the wreckage of the nuclear submarine sank to just 50 points from the biobreeding reactor, it was quickly dissolved by some invisible material. In just over 10 seconds, the entire wreckage of the nuclear submarine completely disappeared!
