Japanese man-eating crabs are also called tall crabs. Their legs are fully extended and can reach two or three meters in length. They stand about one meter tall and move quickly. Unlike Alaskan king crabs, which are huge but move slowly.
It has a docile personality and is easy to catch.
The reason why tall crabs are called man-eating crabs is because there were cases of man-eating crabs actively attacking humans in Japan, so they were called so. Maybe divers mistook the man-eating crabs for Alaskan crabs when they saw them.
That's a tragedy.
"Is it just such an incident?" Chen Si asked Nelson. He thought for a while and then said: "The quality of the anti-pressure suits worn by these divers is very good, and the whole body is sealed. If they are attacked by a man-eating crab, they should still be able to survive."
If they don't die, can they still monitor their life breath?" Chen Si is very familiar with American technology.
"It can't be found at all." Nelson continued with a painful look on his face: "This is not just one incident, the same thing happened many times. Look at this." Nelson played another video. In the video, there were also two people.
A crew member, they were diving to the bottom of the water, and then the camera went dark and nothing could be seen. Except for the first video, everyone else basically disappeared like this. A total of thirty-five divers were sent into the water, but they came out alive.
There were only twenty-seven of them. Eight divers just disappeared underwater. Seeing that the situation was not good, Nelson immediately issued an emergency notice and called all divers back. Otherwise, the number of losses to these divers may be even greater.
"What is going on? Can you analyze it for me?" Nelson wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a breath. After losing eight soldiers at once, he didn't know how to write a report and submit it.
"There is more than one aggressive marine life here." Gu Fengchun said first. Nelson was immediately attracted by his remarks and said: "Mr. Gu, please continue."
"Mark me the accident sites of these accidental divers." When Gu Fengchun was watching these videos just now, he obviously discovered some details that ordinary people would not pay attention to. This is the basic professional function of an archaeologist.
"Okay." Nelson immediately signaled his men to make marks on the monitor. According to Gu Fengchun's request, the people who had the accident were divided into two different colors.
"Look." Gu Fengchun pointed at the distribution map and said: "This distribution map is centered on the warship and extends in radiating lines. The nearest one is three nautical miles, and the farthest one is seven nautical miles. Please look at the first incident.
Location, they had the accident in the direction of four o'clock." Gu Fengchun paused and then said: "The rest were concentrated in the direction of eight to eleven o'clock. This means that there are only these two places in this sea area.
The greatest danger.”
Chen Si narrowed his smile and listened carefully to Gu Fengchun's analysis. But in his heart, he was wondering how Nelson could lose more people. No, he didn't want Gu Fengchun to make an analysis, so that Nelson would have a headache for a while, and it would be better if more people died.
He also knew that Gu Fengchun's heart was not as dark as his, and he would not be able to do such a thing.
Nelson nodded repeatedly. This was a basic elimination method. As an officer with excellent qualities, he could also do it. However, when the situation was endangered, he only focused on the number of casualties and forgot what he should do more.
"It can basically be judged that the dangerous existence in this place is tall crabs, also known as man-eating crabs." Gu Fengchun's hand drew a circle centered on four o'clock, and a programmer immediately marked the place.
Danger areas in red.
"But here, we still need further judgment." Gu Fengchun drew again in the direction of eight to eleven o'clock, and then said: "List to me the time sequence of the accidents in these areas and the distance between them."
Nelson was very impressed. Gu Fengchun had a very thoughtful mind! After the data came out, Gu Fengchun frowned.
Needless to say, everyone saw the clues. The time when these people got into trouble ranged from thirty seconds to one minute, and the distance between each of them was not far. The farthest one was only half a mile, and the closest one was only three hundred miles.
Less than 1 meter.
What is strange is that these people disappeared from far to near, starting from eleven o'clock counterclockwise, and gradually moving towards eight o'clock. The distance was getting closer and closer to the destroyer. "What's going on?
What happened?" Nelson shook his head, very puzzled.
"Has the submarine you sent out returned?" Chen Si suddenly asked.
"Not yet." Nelson responded, and after speaking, he motioned to the programmer on the side to turn on the monitoring of the submarine. He looked at the data on the side and said: "The two small boats are currently safe, and one is at six o'clock.
The direction of the clock, one is in the direction of two o'clock, where the sea is deeper, they have dived about 400 meters now, everything is normal."
However, Chen Si and Gu Fengchun became excited at the same time and said loudly: "Let the submarine at the six o'clock direction come up immediately, quickly!"
Nelson was puzzled when he saw the sudden change in the faces of the two men. Gu Fengchun's voice came out of concern for human life, but Chen Si felt sorry for the submarine. There were only two such small submarines on the destroyer, and one was lost.
If so, that would be a pity.
Both Chen Si and Gu Fengchun had roughly judged what was attacking the diver.
It's a big octopus. In Northern Europe, this thing is also called the Norwegian Kraken. It's not easy to make such a judgment before seeing the real thing. But it's not too difficult for Gu Fengchun and Chen Si. From the video
It can be seen that these divers have been close to the bottom of the sea. Judging from the recorded bottom of the sea, they all found a trace that is not easy to find: drag marks are left on the sand on the seabed. It is as if something is pressing on it and being dragged across it.
Generally speaking, Gu Fengchun first thought of the Leviathan that had chased them away from the ship not long ago, but he quickly rejected this idea. Because the Leviathan was too big, if it appeared, the destroyer's sonar would definitely have it.
sensed.
Later, he discovered that there would be a period of black ink before the picture disappeared in the video. Most people might think that this was the camera being blocked or broken, but Gu Fengchun judged it this way. It was the black ink sprayed out by the big octopus, which interfered with the prey's sight.
, and then capture.
The only thing the two were unsure about was how big the giant octopus would be.
How big a giant octopus can be has always been a matter of concern to marine biologists. Among the giant octopus corpses found, the longest giant octopus, with its body and tentacles connected, is a total of 18 meters long. And in the deep sea
One can only imagine how big the undiscovered giant octopuses can be. Some sailors have seen giant octopuses hunting sperm whales in the vast ocean. Sperm whales are huge, but giant octopuses can be easily hunted.
You can imagine how huge this big octopus is.
After hearing what the two said, Nelson immediately turned on the communicator and loudly shouted in English: "The submarine is ascending and will return immediately!" He repeated this several times.
And just when he issued this command, the submarine detection display at six o'clock disappeared from the screen.
"What, what's going on?" Nelson's voice trembled.
"We must have encountered a giant squid." Gu Fengchun frowned and expressed his conclusion.
"Oh, damn!" Nelson said loudly with veins on his forehead exposed: "Stupid pigs, turn on the deep-sea radar and all detection systems, prepare torpedoes, I'm going to kill that big squid that bitch." That little submarine.
But it was worth a lot of money. The counterfeit was about five million US dollars, which was more expensive than the Apache. There were also two senior submarine pilots in it. These were the elites of the military! They died inexplicably like this.
, I would be really sorry for Uncle Sam if I didn’t avenge them.
The corners of Chen Si's mouth rose slightly. Seeing this evil smile, Gu Fengchun was very puzzled and asked Chen Si: "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Si raised his right index finger, put it to his lips, smiled mysteriously, and said: "It can't be said, it can't be said!"
On a small Russian warship dozens of nautical miles away, Qin Chuan's ears felt hot and he sneezed "out of breath..."
"Who is thinking about me?" Qin Chuan muttered. Jin Ying next to him frowned, holding a report sheet in his hand, and said: "In three hours, nineteen of our team members died, including
Twelve of them were Russian sailors, most of them were killed by sharks, and three were killed by sea snakes. Also, it seems that some crew members saw traces of the sharks. I wonder if it was an illusion..."
Qin Chuan listened to the casualty data without blinking a brow. When he heard the word "mermaid", he immediately became interested and immediately said: "Where did you find the shark, mark the location. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it will be
The three nautical mile radius over there is listed as a key reconnaissance target."
Jin Ying nodded and quickly took notes on the tablet.
"Chen Si, it seems that I am one step ahead of you. In this race against time, you have obviously lost." The corners of Qin Chuan's mouth also raised slightly, and he smiled reservedly.
"Ha... Qiu..." Chen Si's nose itched, and he let out an earth-shattering sneeze. He wiped his nose awkwardly, rolled his eyes at Gu Fengchun, and said: "It's okay to curse people with your mouth, but in your heart you still have
Even if I scold you, you are still not a human being!"
Gu Fengchun's face twitched and he shrugged his shoulders. He was speechless.
The target of the big octopus was quickly determined. The size of this octopus would not be less than 30 meters. If it could be caught, it would definitely cause a sensation. But Nelson, who was so angry, didn't think so much, and he immediately shouted loudly.
To: "Torpedo aim, shoot!"
Gu Fengchun was shocked and was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen Si with his eyesight.
