Chapter 1013 Whale Explosion

The phone rang a few times and was picked up.

"Hey?"

"Hello? Is this Ke Shaohui from Fishery? I'm Zhang Zian. We met once when we rescued that minke whale..." Zhang Zian was worried that the other party would forget about him, so he introduced himself straight to the point.

"I remember, what's the matter?"

Zhang Zian glanced at the gray whale carcass not far away, and explained as quickly and clearly as possible: "It's a shame to call your private number, but if you call the fishery work phone, the response is really too slow... That's it, in The last time the minke whale was stranded a little further north, an adult gray whale stranded and died here."

"Oh? Already dead?" Ke Shaohui confirmed.

"Well, I guess he's been dead for at least 14 hours, probably washed up on the beach last night." Zhang Zian replied.

"Okay, let me record it. I am currently dealing with an incident of going fishing privately during the fishing ban period. I will send someone there later. Thank you for calling..."

On Ke Shaohui's side, there was a more serious noise. A fisherman with a strong local accent could be heard arguing with the fishery staff.

"No, no, you didn't understand." Zhang Zian knew that the other party didn't understand the urgency and seriousness of the matter at all.

He can also understand, after all, there have been almost no sightings of whales in Binhai City before, and the fishery personnel have neither experience nor contingency plans, and are not familiar with the characteristics of whales at all. It will take several years to establish effective countermeasures.

"Don't hang up the phone just now." He warned in a serious tone, "I tell you, it is very dangerous to strand a dead whale on the shore! When the whale dies, the bacteria in their body begin to decompose the cells and tissues, and the carbohydrates , fat and protein are decomposed into carbon dioxide, nitrogen and methane, which is the process of decay. But the problem is that the whale's skin is too thick and strong, and there are too many fats and proteins in the body, so the large amount of gas produced cannot be excreted from the body, and it will be in them The accumulation in the body continues, and the air pressure is also rising, when the value of the air pressure reaches a critical point..."

"What will happen?" Ke Shaohui asked. The noise on his side was quieter, it seemed that he had moved to another room, obviously Zhang Zian's words and tone had attracted a certain degree of attention from him.

"It will explode."

Zhang Zian did not make alarmist remarks. It is not uncommon for whales to explode after being stranded.

After the death of most animals, the corpse will undergo a process of decay, provided that it has not been eaten by other scavengers. The process of decay is similar, but the corpses of other animals hardly explode after death, and whales have too much fat in their bodies. No other animal will accumulate so much fat, and the fat will produce a huge amount of gas when it breaks down.

A few years ago, there were rumors that a fat man weighing more than 500 pounds in the United States was cremated after his death, and the fat sprayed from the body ignited a crematorium in Virginia.

The truth of this news is unknown, but assuming it is true, the culprit is not oil, but gases, including methane, produced by the decomposition of oil. When the skin was heated and melted, the high-pressure gas accumulated in the body finally found a vent channel, and it sprayed out with the residual oil, which caused a fire, not to mention that it contained flammable gas.

A 500-pound fat man is so cruel, think about what will happen to a whale weighing tens of tons after death?

There are only three passages connecting the whale to the outside world - the cloaca, the throat and the blowhole on the back. The gray whale has two blowholes, but there is no essential difference.

When the whale is alive, the whale can control the opening and closing of these channels through muscles, but when the whale is dead, the muscles lose control, and these channels will be sealed under the weight of tons of fat, and the gas produced in the body has nowhere to vent Unfortunately, the skin of the whale is too strong, causing it to become an inflated balloon.

No matter how strong the balloon is, if it continues to pump air into it, it will eventually cross the critical point at a certain moment and explode.

If the whale is dead in the deep sea,

None of this is a problem, as sharks and other fang-toothed monsters will quickly destroy the integrity of the whale's skin. The gas in the body escapes, and the whale's body cannot continue to float on the sea surface, and it naturally sinks into the deep sea, forming a whale fall.

Ke Shaohui roared violently, ordered everyone present at his place to shut up, and asked Zhang Zian nervously, "Explosion? Are you sure?"

"Okay, the explosion is only a matter of time."

Zhang Zian explained to him the reason and process of the whale carcass explosion in a concise manner. As for the consequences of the explosion...

He glanced at the whale carcass, and found that the group of young people who took pictures did not heed his warning, and still gathered near the whale carcass. There was even one person who tried to climb onto the whale body to take a selfie. No one knows how high the air pressure inside the whale carcass is at present, and no one knows how long the whale skin can last. A person's weight may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

If the whale carcass exploded under that man's crotch... then he could really go to the moon for nine days, and he could say goodbye to his balls.

A truck tire explosion can seriously injure a person, not to mention a whale carcass that is countless times bigger than a truck tire.

In addition, the group of people who were a little farther away because of the naughty brats still did not disperse.

In early 2004, a sperm whale ran aground and died off the coast of Yunlin County. According to local newspaper reports, about 600 melon-eating people gathered at the scene, enduring the low temperature and severe cold, just to satisfy their curiosity to see the whale, and even attracted a large number of vendors, selling melon seeds, drinks and snacks at the scene...

As a result, the sperm whale exploded in the downtown area while it was being transported to Tainan City for autopsy. The bloody scene was comparable to the scene of a horror movie.

At present, the number of people gathered here is far less than 600, but many people are coming after hearing the news. From time to time, newcomers curiously run to the whale carcass to take pictures. Especially today is a holiday, everyone has free time, and they are happy to come and see the appearance of an adult giant whale with their own eyes.

If things go on like this, the scene in 2004 is likely to repeat itself.

The size of this gray whale is not much smaller than that of the sperm whale, and the power of the explosion is bound to be almost the same.

Zhang Zian took a photo of the scene and sent it to Ke Shaohui, saying: "The most troublesome thing is that there are still a lot of onlookers eating melons at the scene. I advised them to leave, but the helpless people kept their words light and they didn't listen to anyone."

Ke Shaohui's heavy breathing came from the phone. He cursed angrily and said, "I will rush there as quickly as possible. On the way, I will call the police to maintain order. Please try your best to persuade everyone to evacuate the scene!"
