On the fifth day after the controllable nuclear fusion theory verification was completed and the test officially started, Xu Zhou received a call from Liu Zhongmin.
A moment later, with dark circles under his eyes, he saw Liu Zhongmin and Qian Jiufu, whom he had met last time, in his office.
Liu Zhongmin opened his mouth when he saw Xu Zhou, and finally stood up and poured Xu Zhou a glass of water.
"I told you that you can't endure it like this when you are young. You may develop some physical problems."
Xu Zhou yawned and waved his hand carelessly:
"How many young people don't stay up late these days? This is called youth..."
Liu Zhongmin smiled speechlessly, and Qian Jiufu beside him also smiled and said:
"Indeed, my child doesn't sleep until early in the morning. He says that the three years of daytime do not belong to him, and only the night time belongs to him..."
"Hey, we don't understand these young people now..."
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Gu Fan was almost awake, he took the initiative and said:
"In the past few days, under the comprehensive exploration of our Dragon Kingdom team, the situation on the seabed around Sakura Island has been basically understood."
When Xu Zhou heard this, he immediately looked serious. He took a sip of water, and then nodded to indicate that he could continue.
Liu Zhongmin took out a report document and pushed it in front of Xu Zhou.
"Here is the preliminary report. I will type it out as soon as it comes to me."
After Xu Zhou took it, he looked at it carefully.
He couldn't understand a lot of the data above, so he could just look at the results.
Look down, good guy!
There are at least close to a hundred creatures above thirty meters, and at least a dozen above fifty meters!
This is definitely a fucking mutation! No doubt about it!
"About 30 meters and 100 meters, and there are close to a dozen more than 50 meters and close to 60 meters?"
"Dean, are you sure there is nothing wrong with these data?"
Liu Zhongmin looked to Qian Jiufu aside.
"That's it, Dean Xu. The person in charge of the investigation team this time is my junior brother Cui Yantao. I can use my reputation to vouch for the rigor of his work. There will never be such an error."
Xu Zhou nodded, he must be confident in what he said.
He continued to look behind him, and the remaining data showed that there were also a lot of creatures under thirty meters.
For example, if you found a ten-meter-sized king squid in the past, it might shock the world, but now in the waters of Sakura Island, there are even hundreds of creatures over ten meters, and some are five, six, seven, or eight meters tall. There are countless living things.
However, they are currently in deep water areas and cannot be fished out by fishermen, so they have never been discovered.
Xu Zhou sighed, it was not too early to discover this matter.
With so many giant creatures living on the seabed, who can guarantee that they will not attack passing ships and fishing boats out to sea.
There must be a way to deal with these mutated creatures!
"Dean Xu, I think these creatures are still at the bottom of the sea now, but they will come up sooner or later. Why don't we take action first and deal with them as much as possible."
Xu Zhou looked at Qian Jiufu with some confusion and said:
"How did Professor Qian determine this?"
Qian Jiufu smiled bitterly and said:
“All battles and conflicts in the animal kingdom boil down to two words: survival.”
"Wolves eat sheep to survive, and lions kill bison to survive. Survival includes two directions, one is sufficient food, and the other is continued reproduction."
"Obviously, these giant creatures have exceeded their original size several times or even ten times. It is conceivable that the food they need to maintain their body's energy is ten times as much as before."
"It's like you originally only needed one bowl of rice to fill your stomach, but now you need ten bowls. Under such a sudden change, the fish that serve as food will be eaten up in a short period of time. In the end, the group of people without food will Monsters will definitely come to shallow water, or even human ships traveling on the water!”
Xu Zhou's pupils shrank when he heard this. Qian Jiufu was right, that was indeed the case!
Originally, all aspects of the ecology in a sea area were in a state of balance, but suddenly a group of organisms changed drastically in size, and their appetite increased by more than ten times.
It may be bearable at first, but before long, the environmental and ecological chain in the entire area will collapse. By then, giant underwater creatures without food may really attack humans!
At this time Liu Zhongmin said doubtfully:
"Maybe they will leave here without enough food?"
Qian Jiufu shook his head again and retorted:
"Actually, I just discovered this. This group of mutated giant creatures seems to be very dependent on the waters around Sakura Island."
Xu Zhou was puzzled: "How do you say this?"
"It's very simple. In fact, larger creatures have a living habit. They will not stay in one place for too long, because in terms of their food intake, they need to constantly change hunting areas to obtain constant food. .”
"But look at these giant monsters, they are all around Sakura Island, which shows that there must be some huge attraction for them!"
Xu Zhou and Liu Zhongmin immediately thought of something after hearing this, and then said in unison:
"It's nuclear sewage!"
"The nuclear sewage that caused them to mutate also made them dependent!"
At this time Qian Jiufu said:
"So I'm even worried that if one day they evolve the ability to go ashore, they will go ashore directly to attack humans for more nuclear radiation!"
After saying this, all three of them felt a chill in their backs, and suddenly felt a sense of horror.
At this moment, Liu Zhongmin's phone rang again, but this time his expression was not as calm as before, and he became frightened.
"What!"
"Start rescue operations quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhou's heart immediately tightened.
Sure enough, Liu Zhongmin immediately looked at the two of them after hanging up the phone, and said with an extremely ugly face:
"I just received a notification that the survey fleet was attacked. The huge tentacles directly dragged a logistics supply ship into the deep sea. Fortunately, the personnel escaped in time!"
Xu Zhou sighed. Sure enough, what he was most worried about had happened. These giant creatures would not stay in the deep sea forever and would actively attack human ships!
Calculating based on the size of the previous octopus, the diameter of the head is close to more than fifty meters. If the tentacles are fully opened, it may be nearly double the length.
With such a size...generally, there is really no possibility of escaping if a ship is entangled!
"How could you be attacked for no reason? Is there any action that caused it?"
Liu Zhongmin shook his head:
"It's unclear right now. Fortunately, the personnel are fine!"
"We still have to wait for reports on the general situation."
"Please wait for me for a moment. I need to contact Sakura Island. Fishermen must be banned from going to sea."
But no matter what, an attack case has now appeared. Liu Zhongmin immediately contacted General Ai Jing, who was still stationed on Sakura Island, and directly explained the reason for the incident.
After that, fishing boats are prohibited from sailing in the entire Sakura Island area!
After these matters were settled, what Liu Zhongmin and Xu Zhou needed to discuss was how to resolve the matter.
Xu Zhou said thoughtfully:
"First of all, our discussion just now remains unchanged. These creatures must be killed one by one, otherwise any ships in the future may be attacked. Sakura Island, an area that relies on the sea and eats from the sea, will lose huge value."
Liu Zhongmin agreed but raised another question.
"What to do with the nuclear sewage that already exists in the ocean? This is the source problem!"
"Thanks to our ocean current controller, most of the nuclear sewage was recharged near Sakura Island, so this mutation did not spread too far."
"But now even if we stop the discharge of nuclear sewage, what should we do with the nuclear sewage that is already in the sea? If we don't deal with this problem, we will kill a group of giant creatures, and maybe new ones will be produced."
Xu Zhou was also confused about Liu Zhongmin's question. If the nuclear sewage had not entered the sea, his purifier device could still be used, but for the nuclear sewage that had entered the sea, it was impossible to say how the purifier could clean it. Drain the sea water and slowly purify it?
The various radioactive materials produced by nuclear fission reactors are themselves nuclear waste that is extremely difficult to process.
It is now more difficult to handle in deeper water.
But it won’t work if we don’t deal with it. Just like Liu Zhongmin said, if we don’t deal with the root problem, we won’t be able to kill all the giant sea monsters!
And Xu Zhou is even more worried. If these monsters continue to stay in the sea full of nuclear sewage, will there be more terrifying mutations in the future?
"The dean is right, this matter needs to be dealt with from the source. If the impact of nuclear sewage is not dealt with, we will not be able to kill all the giant marine creatures!"
"And if something strange happens later, it might cause even more serious losses!"
Xu Zhou seemed to have remembered something, his eyes flashed slightly and he said in a deep voice:
"That's it! Give me half a day to verify it. I might have a way to deal with the root problem!"
