Chapter 189: Fighting the Giant Worm
In the smooth hall of the Taiping Imperial City, a solemn and oppressive atmosphere was enveloped. It's so solemn that it's almost breathless.
On the throne sat the slightly anxious and tired Empress, and on the lower side were generals such as Torres, Psimon, and Huliusius; On the other side were a number of gray-robed patriarchs led by Bailov.
"Now, according to the intelligence gathered from all sides, it has been learned that the escaped felon, Akentero, has made a comeback and brought back a huge and dangerous giant worm." The Empress broke the silence in the hall: "Please give your opinion on the current form."
"Your Majesty, I think this is a little easier than dealing with thousands of whales before!" Torres said.
"Oh, tell me about your opinion." The Empress asked.
"We prepare enough ice and mine bombs to form a minefield, and then lure the giant worms into the minefield and then detonate them. Bang! ”
"I don't think it's the right thing for the general to do." The gray-robed patriarch Bailov said.
"Why?" The Empress asked.
"The body of the giant insect is huge, and the leather armor is hard. There must be a sufficient amount of blast energy to destroy it. However, our preliminary estimate of this equivalent value is that it will also cause a tsunami and earthquake. Such a consequence would not only affect terrestrial humans, but also cause the Taiping Imperial City to shake. ”
"The Taiping Imperial City has been built for so many years, and has been safe and sound after so many tsunamis and earthquakes, are you too worried?" Torres did not quite agree with the opinion of the patriarch Bailov.
"The construction of the Taiping Imperial City, the construction materials and other various manufacturing techniques came from the ancient Mu Empire civilization. It took dozens of generations of craftsmen to improve to build today's glory, and it stands to reason that preventing earthquakes should not be a problem. "As for the fact that causing a tsunami will spread to land, this is also a major problem."
"You can't blindly believe that the walls and dome of the Imperial City can withstand such a huge shock wave," Bailov continued to argue, "There has never been such a big bug in the Pacific Ocean, if it is only a bug and it is not too dangerous, but it is a dangerous guy controlled by Acantero, so we must prepare to destroy it." Never before in history has explosives of this magnitude been used. Therefore, the maximum defense of the Imperial City's walls and domes against the shock wave is not supported by sufficient data. ”
"That's ......," Torres hesitated for a few seconds, "Then can we lure the giant worm to a place a little farther away from the Imperial City and set up a minefield there?"
"No, there is more than one city where merfolk live at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean." "In addition, if it is detonated, the sea will radiate the energy of the shock wave in many directions and travel far away, and other cities will also suffer," Bailoff said. The same is true for the terrestrial world. ”
"But......" Torres was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Empress's words:
"Patriarch Bailov has a point, if the sturdiness of the Imperial City can't stop that shockwave, then the other cities in the mermaid world will definitely not be able to withstand such a major impact."
The scene fell silent again, and the air was as heavy as ice.
"Do you have any suggestions, Bailov?" The Empress asked.
"In fact, it is still feasible to use blasting methods to eliminate giant insects, but we must consider the advantages and avoid the harm."
"Then you must have a solution."
"One of the pieces of information that has been collected is that the weakness of the giant insect may be in the throat. Throughout Acantero's habit of manipulating whales, he hid in the mouth of a giant whale. Then it is possible that now he controls the giant insect and hides in the throat of the giant insect, as long as he accurately blows the throat of the giant insect, then the giant insect will not die and its vitality will be greatly damaged. If my inference is correct. ”
"You have a good point." "Then it's time to find a senior blasting specialist and make a complete minelaying plan," said the Empress.
"Hmm!" Torres frowned slightly anxiously.
"What's wrong? Does the general have something to say. The Empress asked.
"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to make a plan. The difficulty is that the most senior demolition expert in our Imperial City has passed away not long ago, and his student has died inexplicably not long ago. It was a coincidence that they died before they were needed. ”
The scene fell silent again.
"There's another guy who's proficient in demolition, but he's not qualified enough." "And there's a little bit of a physical disability," Bailov said.
"Who? Now this situation is a little less qualified, maybe the reason is that we don't believe in him enough, who is he? The Empress asked.
Bailov hesitated for a few seconds, and slowly replied as everyone stared at him:
"Submarine volcano geothermal energy expert, Jellyfish Enchantress's husband Reikaze ......"
Dada, the tuna pet and a student of the late whale pet owner Liulena. After witnessing the murder of his teacher, he always wanted to do his part to avenge his teacher. At this time, at the request of Torres, he participated in the planned operation to trap the giant insects.
After the emperor ribbon fish, which is particularly sensitive to seismic movements, discovered the approximate hiding and movement location of the giant insects, synaesthesia gave the pet owner Jia Long. Jalon shares the information with Dada and Torres, and the plan unfolds step by step.
In the past, the behavior was that big fish eat small fish, but today's arrangement is just the opposite, small fish trap big fish. Dada summoned hundreds of millions of tuna and gathered dozens of nautical miles from the outskirts of Hero Town. This is because the intelligence indicates that the giant worm is attempting to invade Hero Town, and there is a small earthquake under the seabed in this area along with many bubbles.
The real bait is a school of whales that Torres ordered with craftsmen. The whale was chosen because the intelligence showed that the giant insect loved to eat whales. These fake "whales" are very realistic, with a vocalization device hidden in their stomachs that can produce whale calls. There are also many thin lines on the outside that are pulled by many tuna around them, forming the appearance of a small fish controlling a large fish "puppet". From a distance, it looks like a giant whale is singing and chasing tuna food.
According to the plan, Dada floated at the "commanding heights" closer to the sea surface, and commanded a group of tuna that pretended to panic to avoid whale hunting and crashed into the rock bed where the giant insect was hiding. Use the method of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to attract the attention of the giant insect, as long as it attracts the attention of the giant insect, it will poke its head out and probe upwards to detect movement.
Fisherman fishing requires skill, experience and patience. After a few tuna commotions and collisions on the seabed, the giant worm, unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, finally broke through the rocks and attacked a giant whale. As in previous predatory patterns, it sticks out its head and opens its massive mouthparts almost instantaneously. It's just that the huge school of tuna is like a swarm of annoying flies that disturbs the giant worm's perception of the surrounding situation, so the giant worm pounces on the first bite and fails to catch the puppet whale controlled by the tuna.
Dada commanded the tuna school to set up a huge ecstasy array, the fish moved and flickered, gathered and scattered, left and right, and formed a dazzling battle array by the refraction of light and shadow in the water. Disrupts the Giant Worm's senses, luring it to attack and luring it towards the real ambush circle.
In order to maintain the energy consumption of such a huge body, the giant insect must eat a certain number of whales. So once hungry, even if you have to go into a minefield, most of the people in Acantero will not be able to control the giant insects.
And the appearance of the giant insect really made Dada and Torres and others gasp, this product is really big enough! Enough thunder people.
"Almost, Dada, implement the first set of combat plans." Torres said to Dada, who was directing the tuna on one side.
"Understood!" Dada's eyes flickered.
