The speed of that dolphin is too fast - or, in other words, Xiangshan's prosthetic body moves too slowly under the water. Although the burrowing dragon has tried its best to design the buoyancy device as close to fluid mechanics as possible, this main
A prosthetic body used for road combat cannot explode at super high speeds in the sea.
It is not impossible to forcibly inhale seawater and then heat it and spray it out, but some weak points of the prosthetic body may not be able to hold up, and in such a shallow sea, the movement of doing so would be too great, and it would easily attract the power of the protector.
After chasing the mountain for several hundred meters, the dolphin fled further and further away.
Xiangshan stopped in the sea, his thoughts were very complicated.
"Senior?" came the original messager's signal. Several other people were sitting in the vehicle and could only share what Xiangshan saw. And they were limited by the bandwidth that the electromagnetic signal could carry, and the pictures they could see
Quality is limited.
They didn't see clearly what the big thing was.
Xiang Shan said: "Something is wrong, something is definitely wrong. Put other things aside... let's track that dolphin..."
"Senior?" The original informant was somewhat different, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"It is impossible for dolphins to continue to this day in a purely wild state." Xiang Shan whispered, "Dolphins are marine mammals and breathe with their lungs...the natural lungs cannot directly absorb oxygen from seawater..."
"ah?"
"Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for benchmarked marine organisms to float." Xiang Shan said: "Before benchmarking, the overall density of many swimming marine organisms would be slightly lower than that of seawater... These organisms also have corresponding
Use the organs to adjust this buoyancy to ensure that you can move in the vertical direction..."
"But after standardization, metal-based proteins will suddenly increase the overall density of organisms by a few percentage points, and terrestrial animals like humans will not be able to float at all. If the buoyancy organs of marine organisms remain at their original size, they will not be enough.
I'm afraid that only by swimming upward with all your strength can you ensure that you are at a relatively shallow depth..."
It is precisely because of this that even if the ocean is rich in biological resources, Yawgmoth does not think that many animals can survive the mass extinction.
"Not being able to float" is a fatal injury. For floating plants, it means sinking to the bottom of the sea where there is no exposure to sunlight. For animals, low temperature, high pressure, and lack of food are equally fatal.
Unless there is manual intervention, the size of the cavity in the animal's body, the proportion of fat and the like are adjusted first.
Alternatively, some marine organisms with large populations can rely on their stronger damage resistance after benchmarking to forcibly withstand the damage caused by the deeper oceans, and then spend more energy swimming upward every day, desperately eating those artificial creatures in the shallower layers.
Modified plankton.
Perhaps three hundred years of virus-catalyzed mutation plus natural selection can preserve a few small fish and shrimps... and squid.
But it's too difficult for those marine artiodactyls. These creatures need all their strength just to breathe.
During the No. 1 infection incident, the animal protectionists who tried their best to save the whales also took this into consideration. Yawgmoth adjusted the whale's genes to make it easier for the standardized whales to accumulate lipids. At the same time, they also planned to use righteousness to protect the whales.
They can also use swim bladders to provide buoyancy for whales, or lay artificial gills on the surface of whales. In addition, considering that whales have extremely high intelligence, they also considered teaching whales to "help each other". When young whales are not strong yet,
The mature whales, who had undergone prosthetic transformation, helped them to breathe on the surface of the water.
But this package plan should not be completed in the end. As the war burned into space at an incredible speed, the battle between the first-generation knights and the thieves left the earth. Yawgmoth also participated in that battle, and
The betrayal at the end of that battle.
This is an unfinished business.
Xiangshan doesn't think the whales can really survive. Without human help, the whales would be at a loss to even breathe on their own.
It is said that there are "language" and "cultural" differences between groups of killer whales similar to those of primitive humans, but this may not be enough for them to survive that man-made disaster.
Moreover, there is no description of this aspect in the literature of the Scientific Research Knights.
No one knows these things exist.
But...if...
Metal-based transformation will further increase the transmission speed of nerve signals and enhance the thinking ability of organisms.
Maybe human beings are already smart enough, or maybe most people are not yet able to control such a powerful brain without training...
But for those creatures that are approaching a certain tipping point...
A certain emotion drove him to check it out.

Hikasi held half of the squid in her mouth and swam quickly. The tongue of the marine creature stretched and contracted flexibly, taking away the inner threads of the mollusk in its mouth. The color of the mollusk's skin changed inexplicably and regularly, and it seemed that it was not a simple near-death reaction.
But Hikasi couldn't see clearly.
If we look at it by human standards, all dolphins are short-sighted. Dolphins understand this quite well. They can hardly use the tools that humans use to measure distances, such as rulers.
But dolphins also have their own senses. In water, sound waves are much more convenient than light.
Unfortunately, dolphins' senses are really incapable of detecting "color changes".
Hikasi sucked the delicious juice in her mouth hard. She had not eaten for a long time. The fish that exist now are too small, and it is difficult for bottlenose dolphins to catch such small fish. And the resources are not enough for the dolphins to completely protect themselves.
Integrated, completely dependent on electricity for survival.
They only made the most basic modifications, using an independent battery to replenish energy for the central nervous system. This somewhat relieved the pressure. But dolphins are not humans after all, and their bodies also need to be worshiped.
In recent decades, dolphins from far away have discovered this brand-new creature in the sea - humans call it "squid" or "squid". For the hungry dolphins, this is a rare
It's a pity that this kind of thing is too rare, and humans always persuade dolphins not to eat them to extinction, so the dolphins keep suppressing their appetite.
But Hikasi was really hungry.
After eating only half of the squid, the torture coming from my stomach became clearer.
It's just that my mind is a little clearer.
Only then did Hikasi realize that before she lost her mind and rushed out, there seemed to be something else around the squid...
"Is it a human?" Hikasi thought: "Judging from the shape, it is very different from the humans that have appeared in the past, very unlike..."
"But what if it's a human?"
"It's over, we have to hide from the humans outside..."
