Advanced Players in Arc

Since ancient times, the ocean has been mysterious and unfathomable.

Then, out of the unfathomable depths, came all kinds of legends, among them the legend of sea monsters.

Stories of terrifying sea monsters circulate among fishermen and sailors from all over the world. In legends, these sea monsters are often huge in size, weird in shape, and even have seven or nine heads.

However, with the development of science and technology and mankind's better understanding of marine life, people have slowly solved some mysteries.

Someone once collected and analyzed nearly a thousand reports on the discovery of sea monsters in the past hundreds of years. After excluding those that may have been mistaken, deliberately deceptive, and unclearly written, there were more than 300 reports that were considered credible.

They input all the details in these reports into computer analysis and came up with several typical sea monsters. Although these reports are still exaggerated, people have discovered some truths in them.

It is well known that there is no shortage of super-large creatures in the ocean, especially in the ancient age of dinosaurs.

Therefore, many of the sea monsters seen by some people may be ancient relics, descendants of giant ancient creatures that have not become extinct, or simply some kind of giant whales, or even some kind of genetic mutants.

There is also a typical multi-legged sea monster that often appears in marine legends and literary works. People also find prototypes in the sea, that is, the giant squid and the giant physalis squid.

The king squid can grow to about 20 meters, and the king physalis squid is not nearly that big. They are both the largest invertebrates in the world. They are extremely ferocious in nature, feed on fish and invertebrates, and can fight giant whales.

In ancient times, shipbuilding technology was underdeveloped and could not build very large ships. If you saw such a fight between giant beasts in the sea, it would definitely be caused by the rolling seawater, causing turbid waves to rise into the sky, plus the huge ship that was comparable to the hull of the ship. Huge size, this is not a sea monster.

However, this is not too big for modern ships, but the king squid or king squid that has been confirmed so far is only a dozen meters long. It is only speculation to say that they can grow to more than 20 meters.

But since it is speculation, it is not a conclusion.

People once measured a 17-meter-long king squid, and the suction cups on its arms and legs were 9.5 centimeters in diameter. But from captured sperm whales, people have found sucker scars from giant squid with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters.

It is speculated that the giant squid that fought with this whale may be 60 meters long or even more.

If there really is such a big king squid, it would not be far from the legendary "Kraken".

Therefore, before the ocean is completely explored, it is better not to be so subjective. If you are too subjective and self-righteous, you are not far from danger.

Although Dong Chen's mission this time was to go to heaven and he would not change the route and wander around, but this did not prevent him from exploring on the route, so he turned on the life detection device.

I was originally thinking, what if we meet?

As a result, this happened.

"What is it? Is it a whale? What kind of whale? Or a giant octopus or something?" Dong Chen asked curiously.

28 meters is not small.

"The target is too far away and the feedback information cannot form a specific shape. It needs to be within 50 kilometers to complete." Qianjin answered intelligently.

"Okay, then get closer immediately," Dong Chen said, "You mean the front is on our channel, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Captain, to be precise, the opponent is moving towards us. If the opponent does not turn, within 13 minutes, the opponent will enter the feedback imaging range and life signal comparison range of the Advance."

"Very good, I want to see what it is." Dong Chen said to himself.

Ten minutes passed immediately. It was okay at first. The life signal had been coming in this direction, but at the 12th minute it turned to the northwest. Fortunately, it was already very close. The opponent's movements It was much slower than the Forward. At more than 13 minutes, the opponent's simulated image finally appeared on the screen.

After seeing the other party's simulated image, Dong Chen was stunned.

"Brother... Godzilla?"

It wasn't that Dong Chen was talking nonsense, but the creature image on the screen had to make him think this way.

Because it is in the sea, it is in a swimming posture. Its forelimbs and hindlimbs are basically attached to the body backwards, and the second half of the tail gradually becomes an upright flat shape. It can be seen that its advancement depends on its body and tail. of twisting.

It swims like a crocodile, and its appearance is somewhat similar. It has crocodile-like horny armor all over its body, and it also has bony dorsal fins on its back, but it is much larger than a crocodile's and looks tougher.

However, the proportions of its limbs are not like those of a crocodile. Its hind limbs are obviously much thicker, making it look a bit like a carnivorous dinosaur such as Tyrannosaurus rex. However, its forelimbs are not as small as King Kong, and are obviously much more capable of fighting.

And its 28-meter-long body makes people think of the word "Godzilla".

However, compared to the Japanese Godzilla in the traditional sense, it is more like the American Godzilla that was transformed from a lizard exposed to nuclear radiation and was not recognized by Japan.

While Dong Chen was still looking at the shape of this thing, the Qianjin intelligently said, "Mr. Captain, the target biosignal has been matched, please check."

Hearing this, Dong Chen looked at the matching data next to him.

The name column is empty, indicating that it is not a currently existing species or a recorded ancient creature, but a new species.

Next on the list is lizards, with a life signal similarity of 72%.

Then there is the crocodile, with a similarity of 20%.

There is also a 3% similarity in the life signals of snakes, turtles and other reptiles, and a 5% similarity in the life signals of marine organisms.

Radioactive material has been detected in the organism.

Electronic devices were detected inside the creature's body.

The more Dong Chen read this information, the more he felt that this creature looked more like Godzilla. Especially when he saw the sentence that contained radioactive substances in his body, he felt that he had not run away.

But when he saw the last sentence, saying that this creature had electronic devices on its body, Dong Chen was a little confused.

After clicking on the last sentence, a pop-up window immediately popped up on the screen.

After reading the content in the pop-up window, Dong Chen realized that the electronic device on this creature was not in one place, but in two places.

One is on a back. Judging from the type of signal emitted, it should be a positioning device.

The other place is interesting, it's on the head, and it seems to be used to issue orders.

Because it was within the detection range of the Advance, it turned twice again. Every time it changed direction, the electronic device on its head would send out a signal.

The signal has no actual content, it is just a simple signal, but the length of the signal is different, just like using long-term conditioned reflex to control a pet.

This is where things get interesting.

If there is only one positioning device, it can be said that someone accidentally discovered it, and then found it interesting and put on the positioning device for tracking research.

Some marine life research institutes or marine life conservation organizations in the real world have done this.

But now that he is obviously being controlled by someone, he has to think about other things.

And judging from the size and appearance of this guy, it is very likely that it was created by genetic technology, and it was also caused by benign genetic mutations caused by exposure to radioactive substances. Otherwise, it would be impossible to grow like this and grow so big.

This reminded Dong Chen of artificial biological weapons.

In a few hours, there will be an additional update for the cute host. Writing science fiction is so slow. Not only do you have to think of the plot, but you also have to look up a lot of information and understand the general meaning. Two hours of information, five words of writing, embarrassing.
