Chapter 456 - 456 The Deep Sea Eye
456 The Deep Sea Eye
There, an unimaginably huge tentacle was waving wildly behind the huge ship like a crazy whip. It was the main culprit behind the ship’s destruction.
The old chief adjusted his posture and rested his chin on one hand as he stared ahead expressionlessly.
He had already witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Now, he just wanted everyone to come over and take a look and voice their opinions.
Wu Mo locked his gaze onto those tentacles and thought that they resembled the tentacles of the legendary Giant Sable Squid!
It was a terrifying creature that lived in the deep sea area nearly 10,000 meters below.
Most of these underwater behemoths lived in groups, and now dozens of tentacles had appeared at the same time. What was behind this?
“The Giant Sable Squids are working together. What’s going on?” Wu Mo frowned.
He had a plan. He wanted to develop a monitoring device that could be placed at least 10,000 meters below the sea. It would be responsible for detecting every move on the surrounding seabed in real time.
They would collect samples regularly and send them back to analyze the activities of the seabed creatures and the changes in the ph of the seawater.
If such detection equipment could be fully installed in the waters near China, they could monitor the movements of these underwater beasts at any time.
The scene suddenly changed, and a huge squid was instantly bitten by an inverted triangular mouth!
“Stop!”
At this moment, a comrade who looked like an analyst waved the remote control in his hand and paused the video.
Freeze!
The image slowly enlarged.
Even without the frame count, one could still vaguely see the dense teeth in the inverted triangular mouth tightly gripping the tentacle.
Immediately after, dark blue blood flowed out of the tentacle!
“This looks like a species of octopus, but it’s not the Giant Sable Squid. It’s another creature. Moreover, it was very likely that this creature had yet to be discovered in the world!”
As soon as the analyst finished speaking, it immediately caused a wave of discussion.
One of the officers frowned and asked in confusion, “Since this unknown creature has already appeared, has the Institute of Biological Analysis sent anyone to investigate?”
However, another robust officer said, “Everyone, I believe that the most important thing today is not to prove the true identity of this unknown creature that is suspected to be a giant squid, but to first confirm what the creature that just ate the antennae is!”
He knocked on the conference table and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, look at this ship. According to our estimation, the draft is more than 50 tons. There will be no problem sailing in this area! However, a fishing boat accident not long ago had forced the sailing route to be terminated. How did this ship enter?”
This question caused everyone to speculate. Someone said, “Let us make a bold guess. The real creature behind these tentacles may also be a large race at the bottom of the sea!”
“They might have come out to hunt and treated this ship as their prey, but in the end, they encountered an even more mysterious and terrifying creature. That’s why there’s such a show.”
The officers expressed their opinions one after another, but Wu Mo remained silent.
Suddenly, the bureau chief said, “Wu Mo, what do you think?”
Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Wu Mo.
“No matter if it’s this large tentacle creature or that mysterious unknown creature,” Wu Mo said slowly. “They all live at the bottom of the southeast coast. Decades of exploration activities have not found them, which is enough to prove that we need to develop a new device to monitor the dynamic of the deep sea at any time.”
The bureau chief asked, “Wu Mo, you’re right. However, such a device is very complicated for us humans. The technical difficulty is very high. I wonder if you have any good ideas?”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes became brighter and brighter, waiting for Wu Mo’s answer.
To detect the Giant Sable Squid, a device had to be placed 10,000 meters below the seabed.
The record of extreme diving for humans was that they could only stay there for less than five hours because the terrifying pressure at the bottom of the sea was no joke.
The current materials could only slightly resist the pressure. To carry out the detection device on the seabed, it would still need to maintain a stable feedback for a long time.
The requirements for the layout of the optical fiber, the stability of the material, and the impact of the environment were too high.
But who was the person standing there now?
He was the top judge of the China Elite Awards committee and had dozens of important medals on him. He was the number one person in the field of scientific research.
Everyone began to look forward to it. Could Wu Mo create such a monitoring device?
Wu Mo answered the old chief, “I already have a rough idea. This device will be named the Deep Sea Eye. The initial estimate is that it will be placed near the southeast coast, 10,000 meters below the sea area 36 degrees north latitude.
“However, the specific situation of the progress requires accurate feedback from the maritime agency.”
“No problem. The mysterious 36 degrees north latitude has become a hot topic. Many people don’t pay attention to the specific location. I’ll get the relevant departments to give detailed opinions on this matter later.”
The old chief nodded quietly and pondered.
In fact, the 36th degree north latitude had already become a well-known name.
However, why did no one notice its longitude?
This was because on this north-south latitude line, there was not only the mysterious wrecked sea area, but also a large natural forest similar to China.
Many incomprehensible miracles had appeared in these forests and caused a global sensation!
Moreover, this latitude line extended all over the world, and there were also some strange natural miracles in the territories of other countries.
Therefore, everyone suddenly ignored this shipwreck and did not pay attention to which meridian it was located on.
Now, everything was completely different.
Wu Mo was currently working hard on the Deep Sea Eye, which required him to accurately project it to the bottom of the 10,000 meters deep to better lock onto this mysterious sea area.
“Everyone, please continue watching!”
The old chief’s voice was solemn. Then, the analyst nodded and the video continued to play.
The inverted triangular mouth swallowed the entire tentacle. The root of the tentacle seemed to have been forcefully broken by the strange creature in an instant, barely saving itself.
This scene made everyone gasp.
At the same time, a large amount of sky-blue blood floated on the surface of the sea, dyeing the surrounding seawater with a strange color.
“Wait! Look at that inverted triangular mouth. What kind of creature is it?” a masculine officer immediately shouted.
“This is the footage taken by the survivors from the big ship three hours ago,” the analyst replied with a bitter smile. “There are only these scattered fragments and angles.”
“Sigh, what a pity! It would be great if he could capture the full appearance of the creature with the inverted triangular mouth!”
All the officers shook their heads.
Many of the officers present were from the navy and had been on missions at sea all year round, but they had never seen or heard of such mouth-shaped underwater creatures.
Based on this limited information, they could not even make a basic judgment, let alone reveal the true face of this creature.
