461 Guess
Someone slowly touched the Deep Sea Eye’s outer shell and exclaimed.
Such a device was a dream-like existence. Even the magical forest sprite could not compare to it!
“Wu Mo, is there any difference between this Deep Sea Eye and your original design?” the old chief asked with concern.
He clearly remembered that Wu Mo had once vowed that “once the Deep Sea Eye was deployed near the southeast coast, it could reach ten thousand meters below sea level!”
However, a design idea was just an idea, and reality often differed from an ideal outcome.
Many people set many goals when designing something, but the final product often failed to meet expectations.
Even so, Wu Mo confidently patted his chest and promised the old chief.
“Don’t worry, Old Chief. This Deep Sea Eye can dive to a depth of about 12,300 meters. Its information feedback was extremely accurate, with a delay of five seconds at most. At the same time, it was equipped with a large memory that could perfectly reproduce all the images and sounds within a kilometer.”
Following Wu Mo’s introduction, the crowd gasped in admiration. Everyone once again looked at the strange equipment in front of them.
“The Deep Sea Eye lives up to its name. It’s like Poseidon’s eye, able to monitor the movements of the seabed at any time!” an officer said emotionally.
“That’s right. With the Deep Sea Eye, the entire sea area, up to a depth of more than ten thousand meters, will not be able to escape our surveillance!”
Another senior official in charge of the Maritime Agency nodded repeatedly.
The recent strange events in the mysterious sea had put him under a lot of pressure, but with this equipment, the current problem would be greatly alleviated.
“However, it’s best to limit the range of the Deep Sea Eyes to ten nautical miles. Otherwise, the feedback might not be timely.”
“If an accident happens, the Deep Sea Eye itself might be damaged!”
Following Wu Mo’s explanation, everyone realized that the Deep Sea Eye had to be used at a critical moment.
In other words, the Deep Sea Eye would be placed in the southeast sea area, near the shipwreck area at 36 degrees north latitude.
If he went beyond this place, not only would it lose its practical significance, but it might also cause an unpredictable disaster.
“Wu Mo, do you have any other suggestions?”
The old general noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be hiding something and immediately asked.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and finally replied, “Old Chief, why don’t you deploy a close combat company to the area near the sea area where the accident happened in case of any emergencies?”
Hearing Wu Mo’s firm words, many officers nodded in agreement.
In fact, they had long considered using force to forcibly control the sea area, because the nature of the current incident was extremely special. It was impossible to completely control the situation with only remote monitoring.
Once that unknown mysterious creature appeared again, who could guarantee that they could capture it in time?
Wu Mo’s suggestion was approved by everyone, and a well-trained special forces company was transferred from the local area.
Coupled with a cruiser, it would be stationed 24/7 near the sea area where the accident occurred. Once there was any situation, it would be able to provide timely feedback.
Everyone left the meeting room, but the old chief asked Wu Mo to stay.
Wu Mo’s heart tightened. The old chief had deliberately asked him to stay. Could it be that there was still a lot of unknown information that he wanted to tell him?
The old chief’s voice became more and more serious.
“Wu Mo, there’s actually a lot of information that I haven’t disclosed to the public, but I hope to tell you alone.”
The old chief sighed and could not help but say.
“Oh, Chief? Was it about the mysterious unknown creature?”
Wu Mo’s intuition was very sharp. He immediately guessed the old chief’s worries.
The old chief nodded with a bitter smile and said, “That’s right, this matter is really shocking! According to the information feedback from the third submarine formation on the southeast coast, they had already captured the initial information about the creature with the golden head and the inverted triangular mouth.”
“Oh, then where is the image?”
Wu Mo was instantly tempted. If he could see the creature’s true appearance, he might be able to analyze whether it was a mutated large creature caused by a nuclear leak.
Moreover, its original structure should have originated from some large mammals in the sea, such as whales.
Then, the old chief turned on the projector again and played a mysterious video.
The picture was rather blurry because the monster was churning the seawater when capturing the information, which caused the information to be difficult to capture.
However, the relevant technicians quickly restored a picture that was close to the real situation based on the fragmented information!
The projector showed a huge creature. Half of its head was exposed above the sea level, and the remaining 90% was hidden in the water.
This creature’s head was as huge as a bear, and its ears were extremely small, which made them almost impossible to detect!
Its neck was unusually long, and it almost took up one-third of its entire body.
Its huge body was quite similar to a whale’s. It was smooth and scaleless. This formed a strong contrast with the green armor on its head, which, made it seem particularly strange and inconsistent!
This unknown creature had four legs, and its feet had evolved into flippers!
Although the fins were not huge, it could still slide freely in the sea with its huge body. Its speed was not slow at all.
Wu Mo recalled that when he first saw the video clip, the golden-headed creature only took a few seconds to get close to him from afar. It was hard to imagine how it pushed its body forward at such a speed.
“Wu Mo, did you see that? This kind of creature is simply a fantasy. It’s something that we humans can’t imagine. I seriously suspect that there are two possible sources!”
Wu Mo nodded silently and listened to the old chief continue.
“First of all, it’s very likely that it’s a product left behind by an alien civilization before our civilization!”
This idea was extremely bizarre. It was even bolder than the students’ research that Wu Mo had seen at the research training academy.
However, Wu Mo and the old chief knew that this possibility was not groundless.
“The second possibility is slightly more realistic than the first. This monster is very likely to be the pollution effect caused by some country’s secret nuclear tests!”
The original form of these creatures should be similar to deep-sea whales.
After the nuclear contamination, their genes gradually mutated. After dozens or even hundreds of generations of evolution, they finally formed the appearance before them.
After the old chief played a video, the submarine captured the unknown creature’s deep cry. It was like a dull bird’s cry, but it had a mechanical indifference.
Even the top biologist couldn’t analyze the rhythm and frequency of the recording to get more information about the unknown creature.
The old chief shook his head. If he encountered another disaster at sea, he would not be able to bear it.
Wu Mo also understood the old general’s feelings, but for now, they could only rely on the Deep Sea Eye.
