Chapter 902 Appease
If it were not in such a tense state, if Zhang Zian was not riding a light inflatable boat but in an aircraft carrier, surrounded by three minke whales of different sizes, it would be very exciting, but he Time is really not happy.
The male adult minke whale is eager to protect the flowers, and deliberately wants to show his bravery in front of the female whale in order to win the favor of the beauty, and Zhang Zian's boat becomes the object of his performance.
The semi-adult minke whale tried its best to stop it, but it was more or less effective. The male whale's aggressiveness was slightly weakened, but he still did not give up his guard posture completely. If there was any disturbance, it would probably attack the boat again, and this time it might not be a warning attack. Instead, they attacked directly.
The situation reached a stalemate for a while.
Zhang Zian didn't intend to continue the stalemate. It was meaningless to him to win this cold war, and it would be miserable if he lost. He held the motor handle tightly with his hand, and was ready to flee the scene if the situation changed.
The reason why he didn't flee immediately was that he was worried that the sound of the motor starting and the propeller turning would break the deadlock and anger the male whale.
According to the manual, the top speed of this electric motor is 12 kilometers per hour, which is similar to that of a toy. This speed is not worth mentioning in front of whales, and it can catch up in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Zian was in a dilemma... No, it should be said that he was in a dilemma, and it was impossible to advance.
Can the minke have to be expected to convince the non-related male?
No one likes to leave their fate to other people, let alone a whale.
Zhang Zian racked his brains to figure out how to get out of this embarrassing situation. With a swipe of his free hand, he touched the underwater speaker thrown at the bottom of the boat.
Yes! How did I forget it?
He slapped his forehead, and just remembered that Shihua had recorded a sound, which was intended to appease the giant whale, telling it that the man in front of him was a good person and would not hurt it.
So this recording should also be effective for this male whale, right?
He quickly took out the memory card in the underwater speaker, replaced it with a new memory card, placed the speaker underwater, and turned on the switch.
With the speaker as the center, the low-frequency sound waves, which are basically inaudible to the human ear, spread in the sea water at a speed far faster than the propagation speed of sound waves in the air.
Zhang Zian stared closely at the male whale, secretly praying that Shihua would be reliable once in a while.
Almost as soon as the sound starts playing,
The three minke whales reacted to varying degrees. After the sound played for two to three minutes, the aggressive male whale had completely relaxed its guard, stretched its body, and paddled lazily, showing its wariness in body language. meaning disappeared.
The female whale became more relaxed, floating and swimming slowly on the water like a semi-adult minke whale, her gray-black back almost undulating next to the assault boat.
There is such an immediate effect?
Zhang Zi'an was surprised, it was simply amazing, it seemed that Shihua was not bragging when she said that she could communicate with the whale.
Now that it is safe, there is no need to rush to evacuate.
He also relaxed a lot, paralyzed in the boat and panting heavily.
It's embarrassing to say, I was almost scared to pee just now, and it also made him feel the fragility of the assault boat even more. If it blows, it may capsize.
He picked up the binoculars and took a closer look at the male whale. It kept an appropriate distance from the mother and the child, so that it could be rescued in time in case of danger without causing them to feel too much pressure.
There are several scars on its body, all of which are old scars, which seem to be formed naturally, and may be left from fighting other sea creatures, and of course they may be left from fighting with the same kind.
The courtship competition of whales is very fierce. In order to compete for the position of "chief escort whale", two or more male whales will spare no effort to expel each other from the female whale, so how to judge the winner? Just to see who is physically stronger.
They will use the air column from their nostrils to intimidate each other. If it doesn't work, they will jump out of the water and smash back to the water surface, splashing huge water foam to attack the opponent. Just use their huge bodies to slam each other violently, to see who can't bear it first, and whoever escapes in despair.
Two male whales of about ten tons hit each other with enough force to squeeze a small fishing boat into twisted twists.
Due to the existence of various parasites such as whale lice, the body surface of adult whales is not as smooth as it seems. They may injure themselves or each other during impact, but they will not cause fatal injuries.
The scars on the body of this male whale are probably the proof of its strength in the courtship process.
Of course, the male whale, which is currently acting extremely infatuated, will immediately transform into a ruthless scumbag once the seed is successfully planted, lift up his pants and slap his butt, and leave, leaving all the tasks of pregnancy, childbirth and feeding to the female whale... …
Zhang Zian observed the interaction between the mother and baby minke whales with great interest. However, most of their bodies are submerged underwater, and only their backs can be seen. It is a pity that there is no underwater camera. They are swimming in the water at this time His elegant posture is completely invisible and can only be imagined.
The male whales swam a little far away, patrolling about 400 to 500 meters away, as if they were guarding them.
Zhang Zian looked at his watch. It's not a short time to go out today. Besides, the dark clouds in the sky may rain at any time. The purpose of the sea trial has been achieved. He also saw three minke whales by accident. It can be said that the mission has been successfully completed and it is almost time to turn around. After returning to the shore, it will take some extra time to deflate the assault boat and pack things.
"Kids, I'm going home first, you have fun."
He said goodbye to the half-adult minke whale by patting it on the back as it surfaced. Although it was much bigger than him, it was undoubtedly a child in terms of age.
As if it understood, it flicked its tail reluctantly and splashed some water on the boat, as if unwilling to say goodbye to its little friend.
Although minke whales don't live in groups and don't like to go with their own kind, Zhang Zian is not a whale after all, so he is not included.
"It's okay, I will visit you often in the future, as long as you hear the previous voice, you will know that it is me. If it is not me, don't get so close."
He warned, but maybe they can't understand such complicated sentences, and... they seem to be a little absent-minded, and suddenly become agitated, twisting their bodies uneasily.
what happened? What happened to them? Are you hungry?
Zhang Zian was wondering when the male whale not far away let out a deep and long cry, flicked its tail fin like a propeller, and approached here at high speed.
