Chapter 1641 Island
Qin An is like a prophet, because what he said is absolutely correct.
When Weng Lan and Qin An set foot on Canio Island together, they were discovered immediately and were warmly entertained by the residents of the island.
"It's like a dream. You are the only guests who have landed on Canio Island in more than thirty years!"
The island owner named Nande Lu looks to be about seventy or eighty years old. He has a thick beard, but his body is still very strong and strong.
"Grandpa, are they really from the mainland? It turns out that the legendary mainland is real. I thought you were telling me a story to lie to me."
Nan Delu's grandson is thirteen years old and his name is Nott. He is a handsome blond boy.
"But how did you get here? Didn't the naughty manta ray overturn your boat?"
While drinking the fruit wine brewed by the islanders, Weng Lan asked curiously after listening to Nott's words: "What is a stingray?"
Qin An was well-informed and had a super encyclopedia, so he spoke first without waiting for Nandelu's reply:
"Manta rays were also called manta rays before the end of the world. They belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which are sea fish with huge wings like bats. After the end of the world, there are three known mutants of this fish, the flying electric tail fish and the large-winged dragon fish. , and the hell devil fish. The devil fish they are talking about is one of the mutant species of devil fish swimming nearby, the big-winged dragon fish. This mutant species of devil fish is harmless, and the average mutation level of the population is between six and eight. level, have certain intelligence, and can already communicate through some short-frequency sound waves, forming a simple social structure. Their temperament is actually extremely docile. The purpose of approaching human ships is just to express friendship, but they often do so because they do not know the importance. Capsize the hull.”
Weng Lan and the islanders looked at Qin An with admiration, wondering why he knew so much.
Qin An naturally knows that the compilation work of the book "Record of End-of-Day Creatures" has not stopped over the years. Although Guo Shuai's father has retired, the team responsible for compiling the End-of-World Creatures has been established, and journals will be issued every month to introduce their new discoveries. The apocalyptic species now include many time-traveling races. Qin An used to read the "Record of Apocalyptic Creatures" publication every month when he was in Kowloon City, so he naturally knows more about it.
"So what does the so-called Big-winged Dragonfish look like? Are the other two mutants good or bad?"
Looking at Weng Lan, who was very curious about knowledge, Qin An smiled.
When they were at home, he and Weng Lan both liked to watch the animal world. It seems that Weng Lan's interest is still the same as before, and he is very interested in strange animals.
Qin An cleared his throat, naturally willing to continue to show off his knowledge in front of Weng Lan.
"As the name suggests, their wings have evolved and become very huge. They can reach about ten meters with level five mutation and above. As the level of mutation increases, their wings will become longer and longer. The Flying Electric Tail Fish is Their body structure has mutated and they have completely transformed into amphibians. They can live in the water or stay in the air for a long time like birds. Their attack weapon is their tail. The tail of the manta ray originally has weak electricity. After mutation, they can release It emits a powerful electric current that can paralyze the body of ordinary people with special powers. It is also possible to be electrocuted directly without superpowers. This kind of devil fish mutant is not common, and there are no more records about its temperament in relevant books. . The mutant species of Hell Manta Ray is a bit hateful. They are absolute carnivores and will attack all sea creatures that are weaker than them. Of course, they will also attack people. Fortunately, there is no such mutant species nearby, so the residents of this small island Only then can we survive here for so long. Oh, and also, there is actually a mutant tribe of dolphins nearby. After mutation, these dolphins have a good IQ, which can be said to be no lower than that of humans. They are also friendly to humans, Ka The location of Neo Island is considered the territory of this group of dolphin people, so there have never been any powerful and dangerous sea beasts on the island. In fact, they were all driven away by the dolphin people."
Dolphin people?
Weng Lan's eyes lit up immediately.
She used to like dolphins, and she knew that dolphins are very intelligent aquatic mammals. Because it has a developed brain with many sulci. The more sulci, the more developed its intelligence will be. The average brain of an adult dolphin weighs 1.6 kilograms, the average human brain weighs about 1.5 kilograms, and the average brain of an orangutan weighs less than 0.25 kilograms. In terms of absolute weight, dolphins rank first, but in terms of the ratio of brain weight to body weight, human brains account for 2.1% of body weight, dolphins 1.17%, and orangutans only 0.7%.
In other words, dolphins are more intelligent animals than gorillas, but they live in the sea. Humans know of their existence and try to study them, but in the end they cannot get more information.
But this does not prove that dolphins are not intelligent. In fact, humans and marine creatures are completely different worlds. On the same Earth, creatures in the land world and the ocean world have gone through different evolutionary routes. Humans eventually became king on land. However, the area of the Earth's oceans is several times the area of the land. Who can guarantee that dolphins with developed brains will not be intelligent? Woolen cloth?
Maybe they have just evolved their own wisdom and character, or maybe they also have a lot of scientific knowledge of their own, which is only applicable in sea water, and these so-called abstract sciences are never accessible and understandable to humans.
Then after the apocalyptic outbreak, the composition of the earth's atmosphere gradually changed, and the emergence of sword spirit gas particles activated deep mutations in cells. It is not surprising that the "human" nature of dolphins became more prominent!
"Qin An, do we have a chance to meet these dolphin people?"
Weng Lan's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Qin An, his eyes full of expectation.
Qin An smiled bitterly and sighed:
"It's not difficult to see them. If you want, I'll take you to see them. Anyway, we have plenty of time."
Nande Lu and others did not understand the subsequent conversation between Qin An and Weng Lan in Chinese. At this time, they were still curious about the identities of the two people and where they came from.
Qin An smiled at Nande Lu and began to tell them about the changes of the earth over the years while eating.
All the islanders were dumbfounded. They were in a paradise here. They didn't know that the world had changed so much and that aliens had begun to settle on the earth.
After dinner, Qin An said goodbye to Nandelu. He also asked Nandelu for his opinion and asked him if he wanted to leave the island and go to China.
Nande Lu finally shook his head, but he asked Qin An to take Nott away.
