Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 662: Tides of Death Curse and Leviathan
Under the guidance of the sailors, the students passed through most of the port and finally entered an open-air warehouse area built with high walls.
Afterwards, these children saw a real Roshan.
That is, the Warcraft-class sea monster hunted by the Twin Towers.
It is flat, with an astonishing body length of more than 70 meters, including the pelvic fins on both sides of the body, it is more than 50 meters wide, lying on the flat ground, and the height is close to 18 meters.
Such a behemoth made these children scream with excitement, and their faces were full of emotions such as surprise, admiration, and admiration.
Only there is no fear.
Even if they saw the sharp teeth in the sea monster's mouth that were longer than ordinary people, the children couldn't see the slightest fear in their eyes, but they became more excited.
Many courageous children even stepped forward, reaching out to touch the rough gray skin of the sea monster, or knocking on the sea monster's teeth mischievously.
This is a generation that grew up in the new era.
They are not like their parents, whose fear of powerful monsters is deeply ingrained.
On the contrary, in the past few years of living in the sea tide collar, the children have seen and heard the following news:
"Yesterday the Navy killed a large sea monster."
"The army cleared a certain island and killed many beasts."
"A large amount of fresh sea monster meat arrived in the department store today, with a 50% discount."
"The Government Affairs Department distributes sea animal meat, and each family can receive it for free according to a quota of 2 kg/person."
In the eyes of children, sea monsters and sea beasts are just human prey, and their meat is a delicacy on the table.
So, would you be afraid of a dish?
of course not.
With the daily ears and eyes, the children of Haichao collar naturally formed a concept-human beings stepped on beasts under their feet.
This is the biggest change that Renault has brought to another world.
In the process of using magic technology to transform the entire human world, he redefines mankind.
...
A brawny man in an officer's uniform walked up to the students and introduced himself with a smile:
"Dear students, good morning, everyone, I am the Captain of the Navy, Gonzalez, the extraordinary water system, and my other identity is the ‘senior researcher’ of the ‘Institute of Marine Biology’..."
"Entrusted by the principal of your school, I will introduce marine life to the students..."
After hearing the words "extraordinary water system", a group of children suddenly showed a clear look of admiration.
In today's ocean tide, due to the popularity of magic machines, the role of the transcendent on the battlefield has been greatly weakened, and this change has made the situation of many transcendents even more embarrassing.
Take the supernatural beings of the fire element as an example. In terms of arson ability, they are crushed in all directions by incendiary bombs such as "preserved eggs".
No matter how powerful the fire element is, can it blast a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high?
In terms of individual combat power, 5 magic armored vehicles are fully capable of contending with a fire superhuman, and 10 armored vehicles can beat the fire superhuman to the ground.
The combat power means status, and the combat power is not as good as the magic machine, and of course the status will be shaky.
However, since a certain traverser put forward the strategy of "establishing a professional academic research institution", the transcendents suddenly discovered a new world.
A genius young man is a typical example. This guy has never been on the battlefield since he was promoted to the Extraordinary of the Wind Element. He has been fighting in the various laboratories of the Rune Research Institute every day. He brought his pretty little maid to the market every day, and his life was extremely moist. .
Inspired by this, a large number of extraordinary people took the initiative to join the Rune Research Institute, Weapons Research Institute, Magic Plant Research Institute, Agricultural Research Institute, or other newly established scientific research institutions, either full-time or part-time.
Gonzalez is one of the latter.
When the navy has a mission, this guy will accompany the fleet on a long voyage as a "captain of the navy."
During all the tasks of marine biology research, this guy will join the professional scientific expedition team as a "senior researcher" to explore the ocean.
As an extraordinary person in the water system, he can go deep into areas inaccessible to ordinary people, such as diving into the deep sea of nearly a kilometer, and at the same time have a stronger ability to deal with dangers, such as a sudden encounter with a sea monster. With one-handed ability to control water, he is enough to save his life. , Will not be swallowed by the sea monster.
Because of this, the Institute of Marine Biology attaches great importance to Gonzalez.
In addition, the part-time senior researcher also has not a small economic benefit. It can receive an extra high salary of up to 10 kinals/month, and there are various benefits. Why not?
This miracle of "letting powerful transcendents do the work of scholars" can only be seen in Hai Chao Ling.
...
"... I think students should have learned the knowledge of the'food chain' in the'biology' textbook... This is a great Lord Lord, creatively proposed concept, Lord Lord believes that the most initial energy comes from sunlight, and It is'solar energy', which is transmitted layer by layer in the food chain, from the lowest "primary producer" to the highest predator..."
Gonzalez paced slowly and talked freely.
"The Institute of Marine Biology has confirmed that the'plankton algae' in the ocean are the'primary producers' in the marine food chain. They convert solar energy into energy substances through a special mechanism called'photosynthesis' by the lord. ."
"Plankton algae are extremely widespread, from the hot equator to the perennially frozen polar regions... In the first half of this year, marine biology research conducted two large-scale scientific investigations."
"In the Moon of the Orioles, we sent a scientific research ship to the Xinghai Continent near the equator. As long as you take a little bit of sea water in the sea area with ocean currents, put it under the microscope, you can see thousands of things. Planktonic algae."
"In the first rainy month, the scientific research ship sailed another 8,000 kilometers and arrived at the'Ice Sea Area' adjacent to the northern polar regions... Oh, you won't believe what the researchers on the scientific research ship saw..."
At this point, Gonzalez's voice became high-pitched, and the children listened very seriously.
"We saw the legendary'Flame Tide'. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the entire sea area was burning, and flames continued to rise from the sea. This scene looked amazing."
"The fishermen of the Snow Thorn Kingdom call it the'Tide of the Curse of Death.' They believe that if they are contaminated by the wave of flames, they will definitely encounter the doom of death."
"However, after investigation, we found that it is actually a special kind of red algae. We named it'ice red algae'... When the temperature reaches a certain level, the ice red algae will explode crazily and countless ice red algae The algae covered the entire sea area and dyed the ocean red."
"Ice red algae has a wonderful property. When the sun is strong, it will release a special gas, which will absorb the light of other colors in the sun, leaving only the red light."
"Therefore, the flames the fishermen see are not real flames. The huge amount of red gas released by the ice red algae is blown by the sea breeze and fluctuates constantly. It looks like a raging flame is ignited on the surface of the sea."
"This gas is slightly toxic. If ordinary people stay in it for too long and inhale too much gas, they will be poisoned and die. This is why it is called the tide of death curse..."
This kind of unheard of anecdote, the children can't help but scream in a low voice, and their small faces are full of longing.
Gonzalez smiled slightly and turned to talk about the sea animal-related topic.
"According to the food chain theory, the upper layer of planktonic algae is the fish that feed on it, that is, the'filter-feeding fish', as well as large or small sea animals."
"In fact, it is true. Together with other researchers, I sneaked under the wave of flames several times..."
Gonzalez squinted, and said in a tone that was half reminiscence and half amazement:
"We have seen countless sea fishes and beasts... Oh my god, there are too many of them. There are countless large and small sea fishes crowded together. No one knows how many sea fishes are in a school, and no one knows the flames. How many schools of fish the tide has attracted... The total number of marine fish may be 100 billion, or 500 billion, or more..."
"Among them are small fishes of 1, 2 meters long, medium-sized fishes of 5 or 6 meters long, and even a large number of sea animals, they are desperately devouring ice red algae..."
At this time, a naive voice suddenly interrupted Gonzalez.
"Dear Lord Gonzalez, why do sea beasts eat algae? Don't they only like to eat meat?"
"Of course not." Gonzalez laughed. "This classmate,'sea beasts only eat meat' is a misunderstanding that has lasted for thousands of years... The sea beasts that ordinary people see are all carnivorous predators. , Which led to this prejudice."
"This is not the case. In the survey conducted by the Institute of Marine Biology, we found hundreds of sea animals that feed on planktonic algae."
"For example, in the process of exploring the Tide of Fire, we witnessed a total of more than 30 different kinds of sea beasts... Among them, there are gregarious sea beasts that are no more than 10 meters in size, and their strength is only slightly stronger than that of the human awakened, and they are also longer For a 50-meter-long transcendent sea beast, the scientific research ship dared not approach it at all."
"I have even seen a super giant sea beast over 150 meters in size. It is much larger than the sea beast hunted by the Twin Towers. I guess it weighs at least 10,000 tons, maybe 15,000 tons..."
Unexpectedly, this sentence evoked a while again.
Gonzalez looked around and continued:
"Lord Lord deliberately named it-Leviathan!"
"I saw with my own eyes that a Leviathan opened its mouth completely. It looked like a super black hole. It could fit the entire Twin Towers... It just swam fast with its mouth open, and it will meet along the way. The ice red algae that arrived, swallowed it all into the stomach..."
"I just saw Leviathan's shadow from a distance, and I was so frightened that I was trembling. I think ordinary people would definitely have a nightmare when I look at it."
"However, it is interesting that the herbivorous sea animals including Leviathan seem to have very good tempers. I have never seen them attack other fish actively and only eat ice red algae with one mind..."
