Chapter 12 Section 11 Sea Dragon King

During this period of time, I always feel that there is something on my mind, but no matter how I think about it, I just can't remember it.Now being reminded by Wang Chenfei's words, I finally remembered that incident.Immediately said: "Mr. Wang, come with me and show you the situation." Wang Chenfei said, "What's wrong?" Before I could explain further, I took him to an area of ​​the island, pointed to that place and said, "I definitely remember correctly, when I first came to the island, there was a very flat black road here, but look now." At this time, this area is almost filled with sea water, which is constantly rushing to the surrounding reefs. Wang Chenfei frowned and said, "Are you sure you are not blind?"

I said: "How is that possible? Because that section of the road is very flat, I even touched it with my hand. I definitely passed this place from above." Thinking of this, I felt a chill in my heart, and couldn't help shaking.Wang Chenfei squatted down and said, "It's really strange, what's going on?" Before the words were finished, we suddenly saw a pale object popping out of the water. We were unprepared, and we were so frightened that we took a few steps back and sat on the ground.When we settled down and looked at it carefully, although we were not afraid anymore, we were even more surprised because it was a severed arm of a person.I saw it rushing out with the sea, rising and falling on the square pit, as if it was alive.After a while, Wang Chenfei went over and fished out the severed hand from the water, only to see that the arm was pale, and the broken flesh at the broken place had long since lost a trace of blood.Judging from its state of being soaked in seawater, it has not been in the water for a long time.

Wang Chenfei said: "Xiao Zou, it seems that your judgment is correct. There are giant aquatic creatures in this sea area, and they are still very dangerous. This arm was bitten off. Look at the cut surface of the wound." I leaned over to take a look, and saw that the bones and muscles at the fracture were surprisingly neat, which shows that the teeth of this creature are very sharp. Wang Chenfei said: "Have you ever understood the aggressiveness of aquatic life?" My voice was a little trembling: "No, I don't understand these things, I spend all my study time playing."

Wang Chenfei patted me on the back and said, "It's okay, even if it is there, we can't get it. Those of us who specialize in marine life have to do homework in this area. From the analysis of the broken arm, the one who attacked its owner must be a huge monster, obviously This person was swallowed into the mouth by the aquatic creature, otherwise it would be impossible to bite the arm. The mouth of the great white shark is big enough, but it can only bite off a certain part of the human body , it is still impossible to reach the standard of swallowing an adult alive." I said: "How do you know it can swallow people alive?"

Wang Chenfei said: "The reason is very simple, because the broken arm is obviously outside the teeth when biting, and the person can only be bitten into the mouth as a whole. Of course, you may think that more than one aquatic creature attacked this person. It is also possible to tear it into pieces and eat it. But even the teeth of the great white shark cannot leave such a flat cutting surface, only teeth thicker than this arm can do it, just like a kitchen knife, you two The effect of chopping a piece of meat with a knife is definitely different from that of chopping a piece of meat with a knife."

Wang Chenfei was much calmer than me. He talked about these creepy scenes, but his voice was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing. Compared with his cautiousness when he went to the island before, he seemed like two people, and I gasped. He took a breath and said, "As far as you know, does this sea area have the conditions to grow giant aquatic organisms? Although I don't know much about this, I also know that not all waters are suitable for giant aquatic organisms to live in! " Wang Chenfei thought for a long time and said: "If you explain it according to general scientific knowledge, the answer is definitely no. Because the Yellow Sea is an offshore sea, the water depth is nothing compared to those deep seas. It seems that there is no room for giant creatures to live. In fact, this is a This is a kind of cognitive error, and the correct statement should be this: This sea area does not have the conditions for the growth of giant aquatic organisms, but the living conditions are definitely available, which means that there may be grown giant organisms here. To put it more simply, it is Although those things are not registered here, it is very likely that they will come here for tourism or drop in."

I said: "I understand what you mean. It's like the monsters that sailors saw on the surface of the sea. Although only the deep sea environment can breed giant beasts of this size, they can also live on the surface of the water." Wang Chenfei said: "That's right, you all know that the largest aquatic creature in the world is the blue whale, and the most ferocious aquatic creature is the great white shark, but that's not always the case. Have you heard of the Sea Dragon King?" I said, "I've heard of it, it's in Journey to the West." Wang Chenfei couldn't help laughing, and thanks to him being able to laugh, he said: "It's not the kind of myths and legends, I'm talking about a kind of extremely ferocious aquatic creatures. They are a bit like salamanders, with flat bodies and no necks. , the head and the body are connected together. This aquatic creature is an extremely extreme creature, and it is very magical. The female sea dragon king lays eggs once a year, but its cycle is calculated on a two-year basis, because once in six or seven It is different in summer in December, and once in winter in December. It will lay eggs in a place very close to the sea surface in summer, and the hatched sea dragon king will be very small, and can only grow to half a meter at most Long; and the sea dragon king hatched from fish eggs in the deep sea in winter can grow to at least 30 meters, which is the largest sea dragon king we have detected so far, but it is not ruled out that there are larger ones."

I said, "There are such miraculous aquatic creatures?" Wang Chenfei said: "Unknown aquatic creatures are generally miraculous, and those that are not miraculous have been discovered." He thought for a while and said softly, "We are the second batch of scientists who went to the island. You should know about the first batch. All of them died. Absolutely, not only for scientific research, but also for prisoners and soldiers. We didn’t know what the mission was before we went to the island, and we only found out after we went to the island that it was to investigate the death of those scientists.”

I was so dizzy and dizzy by his sudden words, it took me a long time to come back to my senses and said: "What you said is true?" Wang Chenfei didn't answer my nonsense, he sighed and said: "It stands to reason that the investigation of the cause of death should be done by the public security department, not us, but that matter did fall on us at that time, you Do you know why?" I faintly had an ominous premonition, shook my head and said, "I don't know." Wang Chenfei said: "Before doing this investigation, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, which is valid for a lifetime. If it is revealed, I will be in bad luck. That's why I haven't talked about it."

I said, "Don't worry, even if you kill me, I won't reveal a single word." Wang Chenfei nodded and said: "I believe in you, because now I only trust you alone. The purpose of telling you this matter is to hope that you can have a general understanding of the situation you are facing, so that you can live well. go down." My voice was a little trembling: "What is it, so serious?" Wang Chenfei said: "During the Second World War, the Allies once formulated a combat plan called 'Poseidon's Halberd'. To put it bluntly, the Allies planned to use large marine organisms to interfere with and even attack the maritime military installations of the Axis Powers. , because the cost of raising these giant aquatic organisms is much lower than the cost of building warships and submarines. The human diving limit mentioned by the scientific community is not the final version. In fact, the military has long been able to dive deeper, but they refuse to use this The results of the research are shared with the scientific community. Note: I am talking about the US military and the German military. Because the Axis powers are also conducting similar scientific research projects, and in the mid-to-late 1940s, the diving depths of both countries have been It surpasses the underwater diving equipment developed by the modern scientific community, but this is a top military secret, and they will not say it clearly."

I said: "Then the real purpose of the Chinese scientists you said to go to the island is..." Wang Chenfei said: "That's right, at that time, every warring country tried its best to use the sea resources at hand to find, raise, and control all kinds of giant aquatic creatures that could be mastered. Our country discovered the giant sea dragon king in the Yellow Sea. Small sea dragon kings are very docile aquatic creatures, even as pets, but large sea dragon kings are very tyrannical, they prey on all aquatic creatures in their domain, including sharks and whales." I said: "It's really hard to believe what kind of creature this is because it feeds on these animals?" Wang Chenfei said: "This is hard for you to accept! Do you know the US Navy's assessment report of the top ten factors that may lead to human extinction? The threat to marine life exceeds that of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, ranking only after meteorite impacts and climate change. Three." I was surprised and said: "How is this possible? If the frequency of volcanic eruptions is not high, at least the damage caused by earthquakes is more than that of a living thing? No matter how big and fierce this kind of creature is, it can't go ashore?" Wang Chenfei said: "Of course what I said has a premise. The first is the rising trend of sea water. In fact, why do humans fear the rise of sea water? It's not that they are afraid of being submerged by sea water. It is not impossible for human beings to build buildings in the sea with their current scientific level. It is because of the aquatic organisms in the seawater. The closer we are to the seawater, the closer we are to them. The consequences are unimaginable. The second is the genetic mutation of marine organisms, which can go ashore, which is also very terrifying. A certain country’s military once discovered a similar case , but because they discovered it in time, they used abnormal means to wipe out the aquatic creature that attempted to land. If this kind of creature invades the land inhabited by humans on a large scale, and we want to completely wipe them out with our current scientific methods, It is simply impossible, there is only one way, to detonate nuclear bombs on a large scale, and both sides will die.” I said: "What are you talking about that can have such terrible destructive power?" Wang Chenfei said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I don't know whether this news is true or not. I just heard it, but the Sea Dragon King is a real species. Because the 'Poseidon's Halberd' was not released after the war." There is no final plan, and those giant sea monsters that were once raised by humans should now live very nourishingly in the vast ocean, and we went to the island later to collect the information that once existed." I said: "No wonder you are so calm and not as nervous as I am. It turns out that you have experienced such incredible things. So are you doing it for money? I don't think so." Wang Chenfei said: "Money is not important to me. I just hope that everyone can live in peace. To be honest, I don't understand why Mr. Meng asked me to come here, but I am very clear about my purpose: it is definitely not for money. " I said: "Teacher Wang, compared with you, my awareness is really too low." Wang Chenfei said sincerely to me: "It is good for you young people to have your own pursuits. After all, this money is not stolen. Now it is a market economy. It is the nature of businessmen to value money. There is nothing shameful, let alone It’s about enlightenment. But there is one thing, don’t lose your life here, this island is really evil, and Huangquanyan is not called for nothing.” After thinking for a while, I said, "Then do you think the pair of eyes I saw on the sea on the day of the storm were the eyes of the Sea Dragon King?" Wang Chenfei said: "It's very possible, even if it's not its eyes, I think it's the eyes of a giant aquatic creature." I looked back at the vast sea area not far from me, feeling more and more cold, and said, "Mr. Wang, or else we should go back, I really don't feel safe here." Wang Chenfei smiled and said: "It seems that you are really not suitable for making this kind of money."
