There was a knock on the door, and Ye Han, who had fallen on the bed, turned over and sat up: "Please come in!"
The violinist pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Are you still sleeping?"
"I woke up early, but I just don't want to move." Ye Han rubbed his face, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the violinist's shoulder. The original 2 cents and 1 cents had been replaced by 2 cents and 2 cents.
"Promoted?" Ye Han was very surprised, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations." The violinist took out a pair of military ranks and threw it to Ye Han, "This is yours."
Ye Han caught it and looked at the rank of major in the plastic bag. Ye Han couldn't help but sigh.
I think that after spending several years in the army, I was just a top soldier in the end. Now it's better. After only a few months of putting on the military uniform again, I became a major like a rocket.
"Do you need me to congratulate you?" the violinist teased.
"Forget it." Ye Han casually put his rank aside, "How long do we have to rest here?"
"One or two days, no more than three days at most," the violinist said.
Ye Han burst out laughing: "I've asked you to tell me for a few days, so you still don't have any confidence?"
After the task force arrived at the port, it was announced to be disbanded the next day. Except for the landing ship Buzhoushan, which stayed in port to rest and recuperate, the four escort warships all left the port the next day. No one knows where they went.
The power armor scientific research group headed by Qu Jiang stayed in the military port with the Buzhoushan. Qu Jiang was busy moving the equipment installed on the ship these days.
Ye Han originally thought that the laboratory would return to its original location, but the piano master said that the superiors had rearranged a new location. Only Qu Jiang knew the specific location.
During the break, the only work is to rest. The two of them have nothing to do, so getting together to chat is the most important work every day.
Lei Lei now only has these two kittens, and the two of them get together with Hu Chui all over the world every day. Although they have not known each other for a long time, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds... Cough, don't have any impure thoughts!
While we were chatting back and forth, there was a sudden thunderous explosion outside the window. The two people immediately looked out the window and saw a water column of more than ten meters high slowly falling on the sea outside the pier.
"What's going on?" Ye Han looked at the sea with vigilance, "Isn't the Bei Bang coming?"
"Give them some courage!" The violinist curled his lips disdainfully, "Let's go out and have a look!"
The navy's camp was built not far from the pier. When the two people ran out of the dormitory, many sailors had already rushed out of the yard.
The sailors were in groups, pointing at the sea and whispering.
Ye Han vaguely heard words like mines and port blockades, and he couldn't help but be shocked. When was the port blocked by mines?
At this time, another column of water rose into the sky, and about two seconds later, the muffled sound of the explosion reached everyone's ears.
The whispers of the sailors immediately stopped, and everyone looked at each other, unsure of what was under the water.
Buzhoushan's battle alarm suddenly sounded, and then several other warships also sounded the alarm. The sailors ran away as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye. Only Ye Han and the piano master were left looking at each other.
A moment later, the third mine exploded, and the Buzhoushan's main turret also began to rotate toward the sea. A shell fell into the water, exploding a small water column.
The landing ship's main gun has a caliber of only 76 millimeters, and the explosive power is not comparable to that of mines, but the sound of the explosion is not much quieter.
Several other warships also opened fire one after another, leaving Ye Han confused: "Isn't there really a sneak attack by a Beibang submarine?"
"Of course not." A voice said.
Ye Han and the violinist turned around at the same time and saw Qu Jiang, who had not shown up for several days.
"What is it if it's not a submarine?" the violinist asked curiously.
Ye Han suddenly said: "Did you encounter this thing the night you returned home?"
Qu Jiang nodded: "That's them."
"How big will this shrimp get?" The violinist smacked his lips and almost drooled. "It would be great if I could get one to eat..."
At this point, his mood suddenly dropped a lot: "It would be great if the prawns were still there, he loves prawns the most."
Qu Jiang sighed and changed his subject: "I caught half of them that night. One shrimp is about five to eight meters long, and the claws are two to three meters long. It cannot be stewed in one pot."
Ye Han almost burst into tears, thinking to himself, you are also a school-level officer after all, why can't you play tricks that can't be stewed in a pot?
"It's only six meters long, how could it break a submarine?" the luthier asked in confusion.
"It's a mantis shrimp." Qu Jiang said, "I've learned about it in the past few days. This thing is very ferocious, has good eyesight, and can easily break crab shells when it comes to swimming. Palm-sized mantis shrimp can even break crab shells."
A glass tank for fish.”
As he spoke, he made a tapping motion.
"Isn't that too exaggerated?" The violinist was dumbfounded, "That's a submarine..."
"The mantis shrimp hit the pressure-resistant shell between the two ribs. The submarine itself is an old model that is about to be retired, and the pressure-resistant shell of conventional submarines is not as thick as you think." Qu Jiang said.
The piano master shook his head and sighed: "It's good now. Even the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the sea have begun to grow in size. Maybe the shrimps will grow to be as big as an aircraft carrier in the future, and we still don't know who will eat whom... It's not that puffed viruses can't.
Can you survive in sea water?”
"No." Ye Han said, "But the salinity in the stomachs of fish and shrimps is not as high as that of sea water. Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimps, one by one."
The violinist's face suddenly changed: "A larger lobster is only thirty or forty centimeters long, right? Such a small shrimp can grow to seven or eight meters long. How big will a shark or whale become infected with the puffing virus?"
Ye Han's cheek twitched: "I hope the puffed virus won't work on fish."
It’s scary just thinking about it. The legend of Kraken has been around since ancient times. The ten-meter-long king squid is still common in modern times. It is said that the largest king squid is 80 meters long. If the giant sea creatures are also giant in proportion to the mantis shrimp, whatever.
A giant squid must be more than two kilometers long?
A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only a little over five hundred meters long.
There are also giant whales. The length of the blue whale seems to be more than thirty meters. When magnified two hundred times, it is six kilometers... What a small island!
Of course, the possibility of growing that big is not high. After all, the larger the body of a creature, the more food it consumes. Even a resource-rich ocean cannot withstand the crazy plundering of a group of giant beasts.
The consequences of the super-giantization of marine life are either that the super-giant marine creatures compete with each other for living space, and only a few species are left in the end; or that a large group of giant marine creatures prey on each other, and in the end they all starve to death without finding food.
After thousands of years of evolution, organisms can gradually adapt to the earth's environment and form stable ecological habits and food chains. Great changes in a short period of time will inevitably cause a series of chain changes, and the possibility of reshaping a stable food chain is extremely small.
