Chapter 1286 – Speculation
“Boss, what the hell is going on?”
After Peng Fei walked over and opened the door for Clyde, the bearded captain yelled as soon as he came in, and at the same time a pair of eyes looked around this monitoring room.
As the captain of the Xuan Rui ship, Clyde had entered this room, but normally, he could not come in unless he received permission from Li Zhen or Zhuang Rui Peng Fei, so Clyde was also curious about this monitoring room.
“Captain Clyde, take a look at this thing!”
Zhuang Rui handed Clyde a printed out piece of paper, this was automatically printed out after the radar scan just now, Zhuang Rui believed that Clyde as a professional must be able to read it.
“This is the radar scan?”
Sure enough, Clyde only glanced at it and saw it, but then his face changed greatly, pointing to the top and said, “Boss, what is this …… this? It’s hard …… could it be that there is a submarine present just now underneath our ship?”
In Clyde’s captain’s room although there is also the existence of nautical radar, but that kind of civilian product survey function, is far from being able to compare with this monitoring room radar.
Clyde knew that the object that could appear on the scanning screen of this military radar must be an existence that could move on the bottom of the sea, and the surface of the light spots on the scanning map, before Zhuang Rui gave the order, there was an object moving in the seawater underneath Xuan Rui’s ship.
Only Clyde had lived at sea for decades, and the largest sea creature he had seen was just a blue whale that was more than thirty meters long, and with his imagination, he had not been able to connect the light point on the scanning map with the creature.
“No, even a nuclear submarine doesn’t have such a large size, gosh, what the …… hell is this?”
However, after looking at the judgmental data on the volume of that object on the scanning map, Captain Clyde immediately overturned his judgment, as a qualified captain, Clyde’s knowledge of ships was still quite rich.
Including nuclear submarines, the world’s largest submarine, when the Russian Typhoon class strategic nuclear submarines, this boat length of 172 meters of nuclear submarines, equipped with 20 missile tubes loaded with SS-N-20 ballistic missiles, its range reaches 8300 kilometers, allowing the Typhoon class to strike to any of the targets in the same hemisphere with it.
The Typhoon-class nuclear submarine was the current record holder for the world’s largest submarine in terms of volume and tonnage, and the data in Clyde’s hands indicated that the object beneath the sea water reached a volume of seven hundred meters or more.
Obviously, there didn’t seem to be any submarine that existed on this planet that was this large, not to mention the submarines that were applied to the bottom of the sea, even the world’s largest supertanker, the Nook Nevis, was only 458 meters long.
“Captain Clyde, I suspect …… that this is most likely a creature!”
Zhuang Rui’s words made Clyde jump up violently like a cat that had its tail stepped on, waving his hands around and saying, “Impossible, boss, there is no creature this big in the world, even dinosaurs can’t be this big.”
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said seriously, “Clyde, in this world, there are too many things unknown to us, before you would have thought that a giant python like that survived in the African jungle?”
Although he hadn’t been able to bring back the entire python’s skeleton in its entirety, Zhuang Rui had put away the snake’s head, which was the size of a millstone, as a trophy, and Clyde had seen it with his own eyes before.
“This …… this is not the same, the radar shows that it is seven or eight hundred meters in size!”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Clyde was somewhat speechless, just after taking another look at the data on his hand, he still shook his head like a rattle drum, how he refused to believe Zhuang Rui’s deduction.
Seeing this fifty-something year old captain’s rogue behavior, the depression in Zhuang Rui’s heart was dispersed quite a bit, and said with a smile: ”Then how do you explain the results of this radar scan? Captain Clyde, you’re not going to say that this is a volcano that has legs that move, right?”
After thinking for a while, Clyde said, “Could it be that the radar has made an error? The radar monitoring on my side, but everything is normal!”
“Captain Clyde, this radar scanning system, was dismantled from a Russian nuclear submarine, do you think there will be a malfunction?”
If Zhuang Rui didn’t use his aura to sense that huge thing at the bottom of the sea, maybe he would really accept Clyde’s statement, but as the saying goes, hearing is better than seeing, and Zhuang Rui had seen it with his own eyes! Of course he would stick to his word.
“A seven or eight hundred meter creature, how is this …… this possible?” Clyde was still shaking his head.
“There’s nothing impossible, a prehistoric giant crocodile can appear in the Central African Forest, it’s not surprising for some mutated creatures to occur in this huge ocean, right, wasn’t there some legend of the Squid King circulating in the ocean in the past? Maybe this is a big octopus!”
When Zhuang Rui said this, he suddenly paused, a trace of incredulity showing on his face, “An octopus? The situation he saw before, the dozens of thick pillars underneath that monster, could it be the monster’s tentacles?”
Clyde didn’t pay attention to the change between Zhuang Rui’s expression, and said to himself, “Ahem, boss, that’s just a legend, and the volume is only fifty to sixty meters, and this can’t be compared at all, in my opinion, it’s estimated that the radar system is out of order.”
“No …… is the octopus, yes, the creature at the bottom of the sea, must be the octopus.”
Zhuang Rui somewhat excitedly interrupted Clyde’s words, causing Peng Fei and the bearded captain, both to look at him with a very puzzled look.
“Uh, I guess, that guy at the bottom of the sea, must be a mutated sea creature, according to the biologists’ prediction, only creatures like octopus can grow without limits.”
Zhuang Rui scratched his head and gave an explanation that made both Peng Fei and Captain Clyde very dissatisfied, but in Zhuang Rui’s heart, he was thrilled that he finally thought of what kind of creature that monster actually was.
“Brother Zhuang, that’s too much bullshit! How can a tiny octopus grow so big?” Although Peng Fei believed in Zhuang Rui’s creature saying, but this creature being an octopus was something Peng Fei couldn’t accept, replacing it with a whale was more or less the same.
“Yeah..! Boss, those are just things in legends, no one has ever seen an octopus this big.”
Captain Clyde also had a look of disbelief on his face, he was still thinking in his heart that it was the radar scanning system in this monitoring room that was the problem.
“I’m pro ……”
Seeing that both of them don’t believe it, Zhuang Rui almost didn’t say the words that he saw with his own eyes, but the words were held back by his mouth, “Pro …… angry, how come both of you don’t believe it?”
“Don’t believe!”
“Don’t believe it, boss, you must be hallucinating.”
Peng Fei and Clyde said in unison.
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly and said, “Fine! But that sea is indeed dangerous, so I think …… it’s right for us to exit first, right?”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Clyde nodded deeply this time and said, “This is the right thing to do, originally it was the devil area there, perhaps, what you see there, boss, is the devil’s figure.”
“Shit, can’t the devil be an octopus?”
Zhuang Rui was furious by Clyde’s words, if he had known he would have said that the devil is down there, wasting so much saliva with this foreigner.
“Can’t!” Clyde and Peng Fei nodded at the same time.
Zhuang Rui was exasperated by the two and spoke, “Come on, turn around and wait for the ship to sail far away, let’s take a helicopter and go to that sea again, I’ll let you guys see what’s down there in the end!”
Zhuang Rui said this is not and two people gambling, he also want to go back there and then carefully survey some, after all, just happened when the undersea creatures move when the mind is chaotic, Zhuang Rui also dare not conclude that that thing is octopus.
But with that big guy hiding at the bottom of the sea, Zhuang Rui was considered to have completely lost interest in the treasure within that sea, no matter what kind of creature that thing was, with Zhuang Rui’s ability, there was nothing that could be done about it.
“Brother Zhuang, we just can’t lure that guy at the bottom of the sea out even if we go back, right?”
Although Peng Fei was bold, but for these creatures that should only live in legends, he still had palpitations, and after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, he couldn’t help but beat a retreat.
“Just make some noise when the time comes, let a few bombs go in, I believe the shockwaves from the bombs will startle that guy down there.”
For luring out that creature below, Zhuang Rui was confident, as long as he released his aura, I believe he would definitely lure that guy to bubble.
But before that, the safety issue must be taken into consideration, in case that creature is really an octopus, if its tentacles are long enough, it might perform a scene of undersea creatures’ grandmothers!
With the distance from that sea creature, Zhuang Rui observed that the creatures within the ocean slowly more and more, the ocean that nurtures human life, has returned to a vibrant scene.
After four or five hours of sailing, Xuan Rui ship back into the Portuguese waters, in the line of sight, can already see the patrol ship that General Rasco took.
Until this time, Zhuang Rui heart mentioned in the throat of the big stone, is considered to be completely down, from the depths of the ocean monster has a couple hundred nautical miles away, should be safe, right?
After contacting with Rasco, the other side’s patrol ship released a dinghy, and quickly sailed towards Xuan Rui’s ship, just now Clyde and Rasco’s short call, did not explain the reason for returning to the ship, which made Rasco’s heart very curious.
“What Mr. Zhuang said, has some truth to it, how about this! I’ll go with you guys to check it out, use the helicopter on my ship!”
What Clyde and Peng Fei didn’t expect was that after telling Rasco about this experience, the general was the one who showed a keen interest.
