After Sun Ming heard Lin Xiaowei's words, he immediately thought of the deep-sea creatures that he had seen in a horror movie.

Hearing what Sun Ming said, Li Yu was very scared. He also saw some horror movies about giant octopuses in the deep sea. At that time, I just felt that this was just a fictional mysterious creature created by the screenwriter. Now it seems that this fictional mysterious creature actually exists in the real world.

"It's over, we have encountered a giant deep-sea octopus. What can we do? Will this huge octopus eat us!" Li Yu began to worry.

After listening to Li Yu's words, Lin Xiaowei comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, we are inside the spaceship, and this giant octopus can't do anything to us. Even if it is very powerful, it can't do anything to us."

"Mr. Zhao, what should we do? We have encountered a huge octopus." Sun Ming was very worried, and immediately started asking Zhao Zhongyao.

Zhao Zhongyao also saw this thrilling scene just now. However, he knew that what the spaceship encountered was not a giant octopus, but a king squid.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao said to Sun Ming: "Don't be afraid, that huge tentacle is not the tentacle of a giant octopus."

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Sun Ming asked again in puzzlement: "Mr. Zhao, this is obviously the tentacles of a huge octopus. How can you say that these are not the tentacles of some octopus."

Lin Xiaowei and Li Yu were also very puzzled after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words. After all, the two of them also saw such a huge tentacle, which was clearly the tentacle of a giant octopus.

"This is not the tentacles of an octopus, but the tentacles of a squid." Zhao Zhongyao said.

"What, it's the squid's tentacles." Lin Xiaowei felt very curious when he heard what Zhao Zhongyao said.

"You may have encountered a giant squid in the deep sea now. This is a mysterious creature called'king squid'." Zhao Zhongyao said again.

Upon hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Lin Xiaowei and the three of them were very puzzled. Lin Xiaowei immediately asked again: "Mr. Zhao, what is a king squid!"

"It seems that you still know relatively little about the king squid. Then I will teach you another lesson!" Zhao Zhongyao said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, hurry up and tell us about the king squid!" Lin Xiaowei and the others were very happy when they heard what Zhao Zhongyao said. Want to know something about this freshman squid.

After hearing Lin Xiaowei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again: "If you want to understand the knowledge of the king squid, you must first understand the difference between octopus and squid. Of course, you must also understand the difference between squid, octopus, and squid by the way."

"Okay, then Mr. Zhao will hurry up and tell us the differences between these three types of marine life!" Lin Xiaowei was very happy when he heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, and wanted to learn more about this.

"Okay, let me tell you the difference between octopus, squid, and squid!" Zhao Zhongyao said first.

"First of all, let's classify and see at which layer the three of them start to separate. If we start from the class level, the three creatures of octopus, squid and squid are still a family, and they all belong to the cephalopod class. Octopus subclass (that is, two gills subclass). Then it began to differentiate from the order, octopuses belonged to the order Octabura, squid and squid belonged to the order Tenbrachia, and squid belonged to the order Sepia alone. To At the family level, the three creatures are completely distinguished. Octopuses belong to the Octopus family, squid belong to the Squid family, and squid belong to the Calamari family. From the above description, we can see that the relationship between squid and squid is relatively close , Modern science also believes that squid and squid should have the same ancestor. Next, let's talk about the differences between the three:

First of all, the habits of octopuses are quite special. They like to use the suction cups on their tentacles to crawl slowly along the bottom of the sea. Squid octopuses prefer dark environments, so tend to be in deeper waters. The habits of squid and squid are similar. They both like light, so they like to stay in relatively shallow waters. They are also obviously faster than the octopus, with ten tentacles exerting force at the same time, they can move forward quickly in the sea.

Secondly, as we mentioned above, octopuses belong to the order of eight arms while squid and squid belong to the order of ten arms. So octopuses have two fewer tentacles than squid and squid. In addition, although octopus, squid and squid belong to the mollusk phylum, octopus is the softest of the three. Squids have cartilage in their bodies and squids even have hard bones in their bodies, both of which have more "bones" than octopuses.

Finally, if you compare it from the appearance and shape. The body of the octopus is sac-shaped, and the head is round and larger like an apple. The body of squid is relatively flat and wide, which looks like a shovel. The body of the squid is tubular, and if you cut it with a knife, it will form squid rings.

In addition, it should be noted that although only squid has the word "wu". But in fact, the three of them all have ink sacs in their bodies. As long as their bodies are mature, they can all eject ink to escape when they encounter danger. "

After Zhao Zhongyao said these words, he said to Lin Xiaowei and the others: "Do you now understand the difference between octopus, squid, and squid!"

Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu listened to what Zhao Zhongyao said about the difference between octopus, squid, and squid, and they understood the difference between the three in their hearts.

"Mr. Zhao spoke very well. We have already understood the difference between the three. It's just that we don't know what kind of magical creature this king squid is!" Lin Xiaowei figured out the difference between octopus and squid. between squid

After distinguishing, I want to know what kind of magical creature this king squid is.

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao said again: "Okay, let me talk about this king squid again!"

"The king squid lives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is about 20 meters long and weighs about 2-3 tons. It is the largest invertebrate in the world. It inhabits a wide range of water layers and is not a typical deep-sea species. The main living water The layer is 200-400m, and there is a certain range of vertical movement in the waters of the continental shelf within 200m. Juveniles and adults are important bait for sperm whales, and juveniles are also mesopelagic fish (such as: black equifin hairtail and sail lizard) The prey of the king squid feeds on other cephalopods (such as sail squid and squid) and small fishes (quoted from World Cephalopods, published in January 2009).

King squid is one of the species with weak swimming ability among oceanic cephalopods. Its funnel lock is simple and straight, its water spraying ability is weak, its fins are small, and its paddling ability is not great. The concentration of ammonia ions in the head, trunk and wrist muscles of king squid is relatively high, and the specific gravity of ammonia ions is slightly smaller than that of seawater, so it can obtain greater buoyancy. The pigment cells on the body surface, especially the back of king squid are well developed, and even the internal organs have dark red pigmentation. The expansion and contraction of the chromatophores on the body surface make the body color change rapidly, which is a protective adaptation of the giant squid (quoted from Cephalopods of the World, published in January 2009).

King squid have so far been caught mostly as a result of stranding themselves, or bodies or horny jaws found in the stomach of sperm whales, and nets have rarely caught them, even in large midwater trawl catches where king squid are rarely seen Squid (cited in Cephalopods of the World, published January 2009). The king squid has an extremely ferocious temperament, feeds on fish and invertebrates, and can fight giant whales. Abroad, there are often reports of king squid fighting sperm whales.

According to records, once people witnessed a king squid using its thick tentacles and suckers to tightly entangle a sperm whale, and the sperm whale bit the tail of the king squid with all its strength. The two sea giants rolled violently, stirring up the turbid waves soaring into the sky, and then both sank to the bottom of the water, where they disappeared. There have been cases where the king squid clamped the nostrils of the whale with its tentacles, suffocating the whale to death. The main weapon of the king squid is his ten "arms", which are covered with circular suction cups, and there is a circle of small serrations on the edge of the suction cups, which can suck out the sperm whale's meat, leaving many circular scars on the sperm whale ( The long strip scratches are left by the Physalis squid).

From this point of view, the sea monsters encountered by people in 1861 and 1878 quoted above can definitely be the king squid. How big can the biggest king squid be? This question is not easy to answer. People once measured a giant squid with a length of 17.07 meters, and the diameter of the sucker on its tentacles was 9.5 centimeters. However, sucker scars with a diameter of more than 40 cm have been found in captured sperm whales. From this, it is speculated that the king squid that fought with this whale may be more than 80 meters long. If there is such a big king squid, it is not far from the legendary Norwegian sea monster. "

Zhao Zhongyao told Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu what he knew about the king squid. After the three of them heard this, they understood what kind of mysterious creature this king squid was.

"Mr. Zhao, so what we are meeting now is a giant squid." Lin Xiaowei said again after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words.

"That's right, in such deep water, there will be no octopuses, only king squid! Although, king squid generally only live in seawater a few hundred meters deep. But it's just some individuals, not very Big king squid. King squid with a length of more than 20 meters like this usually lives in the deep sea more than 1,000 meters deep." Zhao Zhongyao said.

"So, what we are encountering now is a kind of deep-sea monster. Then what should we do? Will this king squid eat our spaceship?"

Lin Xiaowei thought, since the king squid is very big, will it eat the entire spaceship? You know, this spaceship is only about ten meters long! Since the king squid is so huge, will it eat up the entire spaceship?

After hearing what Lin Xiaowei said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, "Don't worry about this! The king squid won't be interested in metal. It won't eat the spaceship. However, it may be interested in the metal inside the spaceship. people are more interested in it. It might eat the people in the spaceship!"

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming, and Li Yu were very scared. After all, the three of them don't want to be the food of this king squid!

Zhao Zhongyao knew that no matter what, it was impossible for the king squid to eat their spaceship. Even if it is interested in this spaceship, it has nothing to do with the people in the spaceship.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we can rest assured." Lin Xiaowei felt less nervous after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words.

The same is true for Sun Ming and Li Yu. After listening to what Zhao Zhongyao said, they became less nervous. It feels like the king squid is outside the spaceship, and there is nothing they can do about it. Because, they are protected by the spaceship, which is naturally very safe.

But just when Lin Xiaowei and the others were no longer worried, they suddenly felt the spaceship start to shake violently. This level of intensity was much stronger than the previous tremor.

"Ah! What's going on here? The spaceship is malfunctioning." Lin Xiaowei wondered if there was another malfunction in the spaceship. That's why it trembled so violently.

However, he carefully checked the various systems of the spacecraft, and the results showed that they were all normal. Nothing goes wrong at all.

But the spaceship is still shaking violently! Let Lin Xiaowei, Sun Ming and Li Yu sitting inside

, that was very scary.

Sun Ming and Li Yu hurriedly looked out of the porthole now. They were shocked when they saw it. Because the two of them saw that there were a few long black shadows outside, which had already captured the entire spaceship.

And the huge tentacle sticking to the porthole before, now started hitting the glass of the porthole again, as if it wanted to break the glass and grab the people inside.

"No, we are under the control of this huge king squid. It wants to eat us! If our porthole glass is cracked by it, then we will be finished." Sun Ming was very scared. Looking at everything in front of him, his face turned pale with fright.

Although Li Yu was bolder than Sun Ming, he could feel scared when he saw the huge black shadow outside the porthole and the huge tentacles sticking to the porthole.

Even Lin Xiaowei is very scared now. After all, he had never experienced such a ground. It's just that he is the most courageous among the three. Moreover, he is also the leader of their moon landing team! It can be regarded as the leader of Sun Ming and Li Yu.

Now that the situation is serious, although Lin Xiaowei is also very scared. But he still pretended to be fearless. Looking at Sun Ming and Li Yu, he comforted: "You don't have to be afraid, our spaceship is very strong. The porthole is also very strong. Although the king squid is powerful, it is impossible for it to hit the porthole glass no matter what. Cracked."
