I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 428 The Shadow of the Giant
Antarctica, Ross Sea, research vessel Georgiavia.

"Cologne, is there a problem with the water quality test report?" A woman in a heating suit asked a colleague while observing the nearby sea with a telescope.

The survey vessel Georgiavia belongs to the Semak Ocean Fishery Group. Because of the ocean war between Genghai Group and Taigao Company, the ocean environment has undergone major changes. The large fishery group has always carried the name of the original sin enterprise. .

After the flood of devil salmon, most of the distant water fishing enterprises either transformed into aquaculture industry or simply went bankrupt.

The Semak Group is one of the few companies that has persisted until now. On the one hand, it vigorously develops finished product processing technology, and strives to optimize the taste of devil salmon to a level that humans are willing to accept. new fishing areas.

If Tang Ji was here, he would definitely be able to find the shadow of his childhood from the LOGO of Semak Group, which is the largest producer of devil salmon.

"Everything is normal, Verna. The turbidity is a little lower than last year. I don't understand why there is a blank area in this area." Cologne stared at the electronic display, but all his attention was on the coffee beside which the progress bar had passed 90.00% on board.

"The previous report of the group said that nuclear radiation residues were detected on the nearby ice shelf. What do you think caused it?" The captain is a very serious man, and the Georgiavia is an old-fashioned research ship that is behind the times. The ship is over 40 years old and requires close cooperation between sailors and captain to keep everything on track.

The good news is that this ship was built for the polar scientific research team, and the quality is excellent. The bad news is that the captain and sailors are also as old as this ship.

"Captain Wilson, the nuclear radiation on the ice sheet dozens of kilometers away will not affect the Ross sea area." The woman explained: "We'd better not pay too much attention to the things there, and the group also prohibits us from approaching the ice shelf."

"In our time, this place was an absolute protection zone, but now, some people even carry out nuclear explosions here!" Captain Wilson complained, ending the topic, he was very clear that what he said was nothing but nonsense.

The woman is more aware that the nuclear bomb was dropped by the military technology group, and the ground facilities there belong to the petrochemical alliance. God knows if this is the beginning of another round of conflict between the enterprise alliance and the petrochemical alliance. In this matter.

"It seems that we will have nothing to gain today." Cologne, who was snailing in the equipment room, picked up his coffee cup in satisfaction. Although the old ship did not have any air leakage, the heat preservation equipment obviously did not meet the requirements. The temperature in the cabin is below [-] degrees for a long time, drinking some hot coffee is definitely the best enjoyment
While Cologne was enjoying this warm moment, a warning came from the radar. According to the feedback, a huge monster with a length of more than 200 meters passed the bottom of the ship just 80 meters underwater.

Cologne doesn't care about this. This is the extension area of ​​the Ross Ice Shelf, and ice is often found underwater. It may be a bulge of the underwater ice layer, or it may be the edge of a sunken iceberg.

But soon, the radar alerted again, and another huge shadow flashed 150 meters below the ship. This time, the projected area of ​​the shadow was 100 meters long, and formed a cross with the previous shadow route.

This is not some icicle, but the projection of an iceberg!

"Captain Wilson, the radar has detected a large foreign object hovering under our ship, not a metal object!" Cologne tried to keep his voice calm, and simultaneously opened the log upload during the conversation. With the instinct of an oceanographer, his keen Perceive another possible outcome of the problem they are investigating.

That is, a super-large underwater creature that can treat all living things as nutrients appeared underwater in this area!

When Cologne was in college, his teacher once assumed that the marine system has self-defense properties. Because of the existence of devil salmon, under the survival of the fittest, a new species will eventually be born, limiting the number of devil salmon within a reasonable range .

And because the devil salmon is almost the final form of the small fish template, the new species is either a medium-sized social species, similar to a dolphin, or a super-sized whale, which chases the devil salmon.

"Cologne, how big is the underwater foreign object you mentioned?" Captain Wilson's voice sounded a bit strange, as if there was a hint of excitement and fear in doubt.

"I don't know, maybe 80 meters, maybe 100 meters, our radar." Cologne was interrupted by the captain before he finished speaking.

"No, it's at least 200 meters in size." Captain Wilson said firmly, as if he had already seen the thing.

"My God! It." Verna's voice became the last voice left by the research ship Georgiavia to the world. No one knew what happened to it, and it just disappeared.

The Semak Group did not pay much attention to this news. After all, compared with the ups and downs in the stock market, a missing survey ship is a trivial matter. They have other things to worry about outside the stock market, such as a certain shareholding ratio exceeding Nine percent of the major shareholders suddenly disappeared, and it is said that they participated in the Phoenix Project.

Compared with the indifference of the Semak Group, Mikkelsen is much more concerned about this news.

Although the Semak Group is not a member of the Enterprise Alliance, the Joint Investigation Office has considerable influence in the European Union. Mikkelsen got the exact news twelve hours after the Georgiavia research ship disappeared.

Most of the time was wasted on reconfirming whether the research ship Georgiavia was hit by a storm and lost its signal.

"This is a satellite image of the local waters [-] hours after the disappearance of the Georgiavia. There is no wreckage, no debris, no oil stains. It seems to have disappeared out of thin air." In the huge conference room at the Lost Mountain base, Mikkelsen once again A meeting was held.

Everyone present knew very well that the disappearance of the ship was obviously directly related to gluttony, and the last recording from the Georgiavia had already named the appearance of the underwater giant.

With the ability of gluttony, it is not impossible to eat up a piece of sea area and grow to an exaggerated size of 200 meters.

When it was in the polar warehouse, its size had already surpassed the limit of human beings, and what limited it was only the amount of food it could eat every day and the living space it had to live in.

"I have sent an investigator to Ross Sea to look for signs of gluttony. The next thing we will discuss is how to deal with him if gluttony is found." Mikkelsen set the theme of the meeting.

As the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Joint Investigation Office, in addition to his own fruiting bodies, Mikkelsen also has a group of investigators who are themselves superhuman.

This time, the investigator he sent was nicknamed 'Sea King', who was almost sent to hunt Tang Ji underwater who had just robbed the Moonlight Gold.

Mikkelsen now remembered that the big ship that carried Mr. Lucky and the angry deity at that time, if Aquaman went, I am afraid that it would be the anniversary of the burning.

"The problem is that it is very difficult for us to physically erase gluttony. The protein conversion rate of the biological tissue wreckage you brought back was briefly maintained at 60.00%." ​​Wu Qianying frowned: "What do you still have?" Can the method be the same as the pioneers, imprisoning it?"

Mikkelsen shook his head helplessly: "That's why we have to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with binge eating."

According to the information submitted by Semak, they discovered that there was a large-scale decline in the total biome in some areas in the Ross Sea two and a half months ago. This situation soon became more and more serious, and even formed the so-called Blank Biosphere.

From the point of view of time, it coincides with the time node of gluttony entering the water. Obviously, after a brief recovery and evolution underwater, gluttony quickly adapted to the pressure at a depth of 500 meters to 800 meters underwater, which is also the habitat of Antarctic krill. depth.

That is the food that fishing companies have acquired the most in the ocean over the years. Their reproduction speed is fast, the cycle is short, the conversion rate is high, and they are rich in nutrients.

According to the Cermark Group's estimate of the area forming the blank biosphere, the fishing boats should have harvested about [-] tons of krill there, but in fact the fishing nets only caught less than [-] tons of krill in the end.

Calculated according to this figure, over the past eighty days, Gluttony has obtained an average of 75 tons of food per day. If it is considered that it was in a state of self-cultivation in the early stage and could not effectively obtain food sources, this number has gradually increased. Then its Appetite and predictable reminders are too surprising.

"So the problem we have encountered is how to destroy giant marine life." Wu Qianying knew that some of the people present could not form specific associations with words, so she simply pulled out a picture of a blue whale: "This is an extinct blue whale, the largest Individuals can grow up to 30 meters in length, with a total weight of about 180 tons, and the observed record of gluttony this time, was dictated as a body length of more than 200 meters, and the entity data detected by the radar exceeded 100 meters."

"According to the body density of the blue whale, its current weight should be in the range of 12 tons to [-] tons." Wu Qianying zoomed in on the blue whale, and placed Tang Ji's Beamon armored truck next to it thoughtfully. The length of that thing is only a little over [-] meters.

Tang Ji had a rare feeling of scalp numbness. He is now fighting enemies from different worlds. He can see flying and fire-breathing creatures of the same kind every day. Creatures fight.

The last time he saw gluttony, although the pile of meat had already given people a kind of shock from the soul, it was obviously not as good as this time-it was really in a state of stocking, and there was no limit to gluttony.

"We have reason to believe that if there is no upper limit for binge eating, I'm afraid this is just his infancy." A marine biologist who was specially called to the meeting coughed and spoke excitedly: "Because of the appearance of the devil salmon, And the extinction of large underwater mammals such as cetaceans, Antarctic krill is actually in a dangerous state where it is difficult to reproduce."

"But now, gluttony has filled the gap left by creatures like cetaceans, which devour krill on a large scale, eventually excreting the iron-containing excrement, and releasing enough carbon dioxide in the process to make Antarctic phosphorus The shrimp population has returned to its original number." The marine biologist talked eloquently, as if he had returned to the days when he was teaching in school: "In the end, he will continue to grow up before the amount of gluttony completely exceeds the peak of the Antarctic krill population. .”

"And the number I'm talking about is more than [-] million tons of edible parts per year." The oceanographer explained loudly: "If gluttony can maintain the current protein conversion rate, then the only thing that limits its biological size is the natural limit .”

"That is to say, think in a good direction. If gluttony is really completely dominated by instinct, it is likely to be supported to death by yourself in the future." Wu Qianying told a cold joke at the right time: "On the contrary, it may become a real existence. Leviathan."

"Can you completely cover a creature of this scale with your flames?" Mikkelsen no longer had a smile on his face. It's hard to laugh when it's against you.

"Underwater?" Tang Ji frowned, and he was a little helpless with the new form of gluttony: "It's hard to do. When I was in Paris, I borrowed the anger of the citizens, but in Antarctica"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what Tang Ji meant.

"What if we count greed on our side?" Mikkelsen asked again, but this time it was Wu Qianying.

"If he can drag a thousand-ton monster out of the water at a depth of 1000 meters, we may be able to find a way to imprison gluttony." Wu Qianying stroked her glasses: "We can try, at least not loss."

"If all goes well, we also need a large enough pit to burn and dissolve the gluttonous body." Tang Ji added, and this proposal was supported by everyone.

And no one mentioned during the whole process, what to do if gluttony doesn't cooperate with them.

They obviously need to take some risks, first find Gluttony underwater, and then reason with it and persuade it to be slaughtered.

Anyway, they have already slaughtered one of the seven original sins, so what's the difficulty in doing it again, right?
"I still need some new weapons." Tang Ji looked at the caliber of the prelude, and then at the tactical dagger he carried with him, suddenly feeling a little shabby.

"There are metal 3D printers in the base. No matter what type of cold weapon you want, you can print it out within two hours." Wu Qianying replied: "I hope they can really be used."

"Why don't we think about it again, who else can we ask for help?"
