After Peng Fei walked over and opened the door for Clyde, the bearded captain started shouting as soon as he came in. At the same time, he looked around the control room with his eyes.
As the captain of the "Xuan Rui", Clyde has entered this room, but usually he cannot enter unless he has the permission of Li Zhen or Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, so Clyde is also very curious about this control room.
.
"Captain Clyde, look at this thing..."
Zhuang Rui handed the printed piece of paper to Clyde. This was automatically printed after the radar scan. Zhuang Rui believed that Clyde, as a professional, would understand it.
"Is this a radar scan?"
Sure enough, Clyde just glanced at it and saw it, but then his expression changed drastically. He pointed at it and said: "Boss, this... what is this? Is it possible... was there something under our ship just now?
Submarines exist?”
Although there is a navigation radar in Clyde's captain's cabin, the survey function of that civilian product is far from comparable to the radar in the monitoring room.
Clyde knew that the objects that could appear on the military radar scanning screen must be entities that could move on the seabed. On the surface of the light spots on the scanning map, before Zhuang Rui issued the order, there was something in the water below the Xuan Rui.
There are objects moving.
It's just that Clyde has lived at sea for decades and the largest marine creature he has ever seen is a blue whale that is more than thirty meters long. With his imagination, he still cannot combine the light spots and creatures on the scanned image.
linked.
"No, even a nuclear submarine is not that big. Oh my God, this... what on earth is this?"
However, after looking at the data on the size of the object in the scanned image, Captain Clyde immediately overturned his judgment. As a qualified captain, Clyde still had quite a wealth of knowledge about ships.
Including nuclear submarines, the largest submarine in the world now is the Russian Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarine. This 172-meter-long nuclear submarine is equipped with 20 missile launch tubes loaded with SS-N-20 ballistic missiles, and its range reaches 8,300 meters.
kilometers, allowing the Typhoon class to hit any target in the same hemisphere as it.
The Typhoon-class nuclear submarine currently holds the record for the world's largest submarine in terms of volume and tonnage, and the data in Clyde's hands shows that the volume of the object under the sea water reaches more than 700 meters.
Obviously, there does not seem to be such a large submarine on this planet. Not to mention submarines used on the seabed, even the world's largest supertanker Nok Nevis is only 458 meters long.
.
"Captain Clyde, I suspect...this is probably a creature!"
Zhuang Rui's words made Clyde jump up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, waving his hands and said: "Impossible, boss, there are no such big creatures in the world, not even dinosaurs.
It can’t be this big…”
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said seriously: "Clyde, there are too many things we don't know about in this world. Would you have thought before that such a giant python lives in the African jungle?"
Although he could not bring back all the skeleton of the giant python, Zhuang Rui kept the snake head, which was the size of a millstone, as a trophy. Clyde had also seen it with his own eyes.
"This...this is different. The display on the radar is seven to eight hundred meters in size..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde was a little speechless. After taking another look at the data in his hand, he still shook his head like a rattle, refusing to believe Zhuang Rui's inference.
Seeing the 50-year-old old captain's deceitful behavior, Zhuang Rui's depression was dispelled a lot, and he said with a smile: "Then how do you explain the results of the radar scan? Captain Clyde, you can't say this."
Is it a volcano that can move with legs?"
After thinking for a while, Clyde said: "Is there something wrong with the radar? My radar monitoring over there is all normal..."
"Captain Clyde, this radar scanning system was disassembled from a Russian nuclear submarine. Do you think it will malfunction?"
If Zhuang Rui hadn't used his spiritual energy to sense the giant thing on the seabed, maybe he would have accepted Clyde's statement. But as the saying goes, seeing is worth hearing a hundred times. Zhuang Rui had seen it with his own eyes, so of course he would stick to his statement.
.
"A creature that is seven to eight hundred meters away, this...how is this possible?" Clyde was still shaking his head.
"There is nothing impossible. Prehistoric giant crocodiles can appear in the forests of Central Africa. It is not surprising that some mutated creatures appear in this huge ocean. By the way, wasn't there a legend about the Squid King that was spread in the sea in the past? Maybe this is the case.
It’s just a big octopus…”
When Zhuang Rui said this, he suddenly paused, with an incredible expression on his face, "Octopus? What he saw before, the dozens of thick pillars under the monster, could it be the monster's tentacles?"
Clyde didn't pay attention to the change in Zhuang Rui's expression, and said to himself: "Well, boss, that's just a legend, and its size is only fifty or sixty meters. It's incomparable to this one. In my opinion,
There is probably something wrong with the radar system..."
"No...it's an octopus. That's right, the creature on the bottom of the sea must be an octopus!"
Zhuang Rui interrupted Clyde's words with some excitement, causing Peng Fei and the bearded captain to look at him with puzzled eyes.
"Well, I guess that guy on the bottom of the sea must be a mutated marine creature. According to biologists' predictions, only creatures like octopus can grow indefinitely..."
Zhuang Rui scratched his head and gave an explanation that dissatisfied both Peng Fei and Captain Clyde. However, Zhuang Rui was very excited in his heart. He finally thought of what kind of creature that monster was!
"Brother Zhuang, that's too nonsense. How can a small octopus grow so big?" Although Peng Fei believed Zhuang Rui's biological theory, this creature was an octopus, which Peng Fei couldn't accept.
Whales are pretty much the same.
"Yes, boss, those are just legends. No one has ever seen such a big octopus..."
Captain Clyde also had a look of disapproval on his face. He still thought that there was something wrong with the radar scanning system in this monitoring room.
"My dear..."
Seeing that both of them didn't believe it, Zhuang Rui almost didn't say what he saw with his own eyes, but he choked the words when he said it, "Dear... I'm so angry, why are you two so angry?"
Don’t believe it?”
"Do not believe!"
"Don't believe me, boss, you must be hallucinating."
Peng Fei and Clyde said in unison.
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, but that sea area is indeed dangerous. I think... it's right for us to exit first, right?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde nodded in agreement this time and said: "This is as it should be. Originally, there was a devil area. Maybe, boss, what you saw was the figure of the devil..."
"Damn, can't the devil be an octopus?"
Zhuang Rui was so angry at Clyde's words that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. If he had known earlier, he would have said that there is a devil below, and he would have wasted so much saliva with this foreigner for nothing.
"No!" Clyde and Peng Fei nodded at the same time.
Zhuang Rui was so angry at the two of them that he said, "Okay, let's go back and wait until the ship has sailed far away. Let's take a helicopter and go to that sea area. I'll show you what's down there!"
Zhuang Rui said this not because he was angry with the two of them. He also wanted to go back there and investigate more carefully. After all, he was very confused when the underwater creature moved just now. Zhuang Rui did not dare to conclude that the thing was an octopus.
.
However, with such a big thing hiding under the sea, Zhuang Rui has completely lost interest in the treasures in that sea area. No matter what kind of creature it is, with Zhuang Rui's ability, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Brother Zhuang, even if we go back, we still can't lure that guy from the bottom of the sea out, right?"
Although Peng Fei was brave, he still had lingering fears about these creatures that should only live in legends. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but retreat.
"Just make some noise then. Let a few bombs go in. I believe the shock waves from the bombs will alarm the guy below..."
Zhuang Rui is very confident about eliciting the creature below. As long as he releases his spiritual energy, I believe he will surely induce the creature to bubble up.
But before that, safety issues must be taken into consideration. If the creature is really an octopus, if its tentacles are long enough, it may perform a scene of underwater creatures masturbating.
As he got further away from the sea creature, Zhuang Rui observed that the number of creatures in the ocean gradually increased, and the ocean that nurtured human life returned to a vibrant scene.
After four or five hours of sailing, the Xuan Rui returned to Portuguese waters. In sight, the patrol ship on which General Lascaux was riding could already be seen.
It was only then that the big rock in Zhuang Rui's heart finally fell down. The monster in the depths of the ocean was already a hundred or two hundred miles away. It should be safe, right?
After contacting Lasco, a small boat was released from the other party's patrol ship and quickly sailed towards the Xuan Rui. The brief conversation between Clyde and Lasco just now did not explain the reason for the return. This made
Lasko was very curious.
…
"There is some truth to what Mr. Zhuang said. Let's go and see it together, using the helicopter on my ship..."
What Clyde and Peng Fei didn't expect was that after telling Lasco about this experience, the general showed strong interest.
