Chapter 6 Chapter Two

Not long after, I went out of town because of business, and soon received a call from Meng Yang: He invited me to dinner. Although it wasn't long before the project started and there were a lot of things I needed to deal with, I still explained the work and flew back there in the evening, just to have a meal with Meng Yang at noon the next day. The place where Meng Yang invited him to dinner was not a luxurious place, it was a rustic restaurant in the suburbs. I drove there at noon and he hadn’t come yet. After waiting for a while, I saw him driving his Volvo slowly. After coming to a complete stop, an old acquaintance of mine came down: Wang Chenfei.

He and I are not in the same way. I am a businessman and he is engaged in scientific research, so we have no contact after that incident. Today we saw each other again and exchanged pleasantries.What surprised me is that he is also the "manager" hired by "Giant Whale Equipment". Of course, I know in my heart that the nature must be the same as mine. We chatted for a while, and when we talked about the whale driver, I didn't expect that Wang Chenfei had already done imaging processing, and handed me a photo. I saw that there was no obvious difference between the person on it and us, except that his mouth was slightly bigger. point, and the lower row of teeth clearly protruded from the mouth, adding a bit of sturdy look.I don't know whether it is based on imagination or basis, but this whale driver is actually wearing a tights made of fish scales. He has a strong physique, and there is a layer of mucous membrane between his fingers and toes.

I looked left and right, and asked, "Where are their gills?" Wang Chenfei drew the position of his throat and said: "There is an opening here, which is their gill." I said, "So they can't talk?" Wang Chenfei smiled and said: "What are you thinking? They are fundamentally different from us, at least in terms of our current physical characteristics." We didn't know why we were asked to come during the meal. It turned out that they had to go to sea to study a new drug and needed our company. Moreover, this trip was not in vain. Meng Yang offered 10 million yuan per person.

Faced with such a huge reward, Wang Chenfei pondered slightly: "Although there is money, safety is still the first priority. In fact, many creatures that have been discovered in the sea have not been reported. Don't leave the area below the sea surface as a treasure." It's too simple to think." I said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to worry about. Compared with the price offered by Mr. Meng, it doesn't matter if it is a little risky. By the way, Mr. Wang, science should be universal?" Wang Chenfei said: "Actually, there are many truths in this world that are covered up. You don't have to doubt my point of view, because ordinary people don't necessarily believe these things, and telling these things casually may cause panic. Unnecessary. Scientific work is only carried out by a small number of people, and most people have no access to this area. Even those of us who engage in aquatic biology research may not be able to grasp all the image data in the world. Aquatic creature, can you think of it?"

I said: "I really don't know. I always thought that the popularization of science is very important. Shouldn't we immediately report the fossil we discovered to the media?" Wang Chenfei said: "That's right, but there's a reason for that. That fossil is an ancient creature. No matter how terrifying the ancient creature is, it's an extinct species. It's nothing to talk about it, but if it exists in reality, then Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Meng, am I right?" Meng Yang said: "Don't worry, everyone, we are only going to an island in the Yellow Sea, and it is only three or four days' journey by water from the Shandong Peninsula, not too far away."

Hearing Meng Yang's words, Wang Chenfei seemed relieved. He sighed and nodded, "The Yellow Sea is a shallow sea, and there are no big waves. It is reasonable for you to conduct experiments on it." Meng Yang said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that we are so determined to develop this biological agent. If this aquatic organism grows in the Japanese Sea or the Atlantic Ocean, then I am not willing to do it. Yes, I have seen a man-eating crab in the Sea of ​​Japan with my own eyes, it is a full 2 ​​meters long, I really don’t know how big its body will be.” Wang Chenfei said: "Have you ever seen a killer crab in the Sea of ​​Japan? It is the most distinctive aquatic creature in the Sea of ​​Japan. It can only be regarded as a pet on the bottom of the sea, but this kind of creature is more than enough to overturn a small yacht." .”

Meng Yang said: "Who said it wasn't! At that time, I was fishing with some friends at sea. When we saw this scene, we set off and ran away. Fortunately, it didn't catch up, otherwise it would be really troublesome. Let me think about it Just be afraid." We chatted and laughed, and basically decided on this matter. On the day I signed the contract and went to sea, I found out that besides the giant whale equipment, there are a group of people. It is said that they were sent by the Academy of Sciences to assist in the research, but I see their temperament. Not really a scientist.
