Chapter 37
The Florida Everglades have always been a paradise for reptiles. Here, reptiles in North America are reproductive together with creatures that have been imported as pets and then fled or discarded into the Everglades, competing for space for survival.Ww W.

CN In the swamp, several oblong eggs were arranged in a pile of mounds piled with rotten leaves, one of which was particularly large, three times larger than the others. The mound was not completely covered, and next to this egg was a dead Mississippi crocodile that was beginning to decay, with its tail just above the egg.
The predators did not find this egg. These scavenging creatures were busy devouring the dead three-meter-long adult Mississippi crocodile. And just as the crocodile was almost swallowed and began to break, the only surviving giant egg finally hatched.
People don't know what happened in the Everglades, but there is a middle-aged marine biologist who did not devote himself to the popular sea dragon scientific research career and the sea monster that attacked the US Navy fleet. Instead, he endured the danger of being ridiculed and devoted himself to a legendary incident in the Caribbean. He vaguely remembered that he met a girl when he was a child, and they saw a turtle crawling on the beach together. But he couldn't remember what happened next, but the turtle seemed a little special. Then several years ago, he heard the legend of the giant sea turtle in the Caribbean from the local fisherman...
For a long time, among the fishermen in the Caribbean, there was a very, very large sea turtle in this sea area. These magical creatures are sea elves. Their huge bodies are larger than football fields. Only the bravest fishermen will see them in the strongest storms. These have always been considered nonsense by fishermen, and are local legends. However, at the moment when the sea dragon appeared, even before the octopus sea monster attacking the American fleet appeared, such rumors have attracted some marine biologists to investigate. Of course, most of them have thought that this is just a local legend and gave up further action after careful research. This marine biologist named Carl is a person who has not given up yet, and therefore he is considered a stubborn monster in college and peers.
Thanks to Hong Long, marine biology has once again become a popular discipline. This time, it was purely out of interest. Many teenagers who love biology have become reserve forces. However, now, these biologists and the staff of the biological company are concerned about how to catch the sea dragon in front of them. This is not only a biological science problem, but also a serious legal and social problem. The power of the Animal Protection Organization is not small at all.
In law, these people must resolve the legal provisions that allow the capture of this sea dragon for research. After all, this is a creature with a high level of protection under the US bill, although it has not been included in the list of the most endangered animals in the Washington Convention. So they must hold a hearing and evaluate it by multiple experts - of course, there are pharmaceutical companies involved.
The technical question is how to catch this sea dragon. The less damage it causes to this creature, the better. However, this is a dangerous man-eating beast, so the safety of the people must also be considered. The trap has been placed behind, and the anesthetics are now placed first. They are planning to solve the sea dragon in a relatively gentle way - place oral anesthetics in the food. The anesthetic bombs that penetrate the scale armor of the sea dragon are now being designed - fortunately they have samples of the scale armor in their hands, which can measure the hardness of the carapace of the creature.
Hong Long knew that someone was fighting his ideology, and now he was considering whether to change his place. The initial idea was to go south along the coastline of North America and find a place to settle down in the cliffs and fjords of the Andes in South America into the Pacific Ocean. But in addition to being seen by humans, daily life is actually very relaxed and comfortable, which also makes this guy a little lazy to leave - "After all, you just need to hide in the sea, I don't think anyone can catch me."
This idea is typical of Luther's idea, and it is also the idea of most mortals in this society. Although Hong Long is no longer a human but a carnivorous sea dragon, some of his ideas are still characterized by humans. In fact, most animals are the same. So he dragged it down like this.
This delay lasted for five months. Although scientists did not further approach the activity area of the sea dragon, the collection of data over the past few days has further narrowed the daily activity range of the sea dragon and summarized the activity rules of the sea monster. In their opinion, this is a not-so-strange creature, similar to an ordinary animal. The daily activities are for finding food and rest, and living is its only thinking. No wonder they thought so. Hong Long perfectly showed the attitude of a pig's life - this is also the attitude of a otakus. His better thing than an otakus is that his activity is large enough and he can eat and wear enough food and clothing by himself.
Five months is enough to complete all the processes in a hearing, and legislation is enough to complete a complete set of processes - as long as the funder behind it is urgent enough and can give enough money. The plan to capture the sea dragon has been designed, and the pharmaceutical company is even willing to donate a large sum of money to protect the sea dragon and the symbiotic tiger fish - which even includes the cloning plan.
Further south, pharmaceutical companies have bought a large piece of land and started building the construction and research facilities of the reserve. They are willing to donate the things to the federal government free of charge after completing the research in exchange for some convenience. In Norton Bay is the site of the construction, and a bay is blocked as the sea where the sea dragon is active in the innermost part of the bay. The construction is carried out very quickly with money, but before the construction is completed, it is necessary to capture the sea dragon for the first time to implant radio equipment.
