Chapter 849: Incredible
After Xiangshan exited the cockpit, he turned to the research room at the other end.
This is a very small research room, whose main function is to study and preserve biological samples. It is even equipped with a dissection workbench that is rare in this era. There are many mechanical arms hanging down directly above the workbench, which seemed to be fixing something before, but this thing was directly blown up.
It is even difficult to say whether this is intentional. This area seems to be the most intense part of the entire submarine's resistance, with bullet holes everywhere, and several huge scratches - these scratches should not be so big originally, but the result of the phonon knife causing the wound to "grow".
There is even a half of a familiar blade on the ground. It seems that one of the scientific knights has good martial arts and is also equipped with a phonon knife.
But he was still directly crushed by the enemy.
Quickly restore the process of the sword fight. The two swordsmen should be fighting swords quickly between the flying bullets, but the swords do not touch. One of them was obviously more skilled. After three moves, he used the tip of his sword to gently pierce the opponent's sword spine. The characteristics of the phonon knife caused the opponent's long sword to break in the middle.
"Hey, hey, hey..." "Fanatical" grinned: "No way, this move is a bit like..."
"Xun Sword Dao? A little bit like it."
"Criminal" fell into deep thought: "Tell me, who is so bored that he uses that kind of primitive semi-finished martial arts to fight the enemy?"
Xiangshan shook his head. I can't think of it.
Xiangshan was about to leave, but he sensed something. He turned back quickly, but found a squid in the corner of the submarine...
It might be a squid... right? According to Xiangshan's biological knowledge, squid, also known as squid, should be a cephalopod living in shallow waters.
This is a place with a depth of nearly two thousand meters!
But if you say it is a larva of deep-sea squid such as giant squid, it doesn't really look like it. Deep-sea cephalopods such as giant squid are indeed larger in size, but their mobility is slower than their shallow-sea counterparts. After discovering that Xiangshan noticed it, this squid immediately jumped several meters away. This kind of agility is not like that of a slow-moving deep-sea mollusk.
——The damage resistance brought by benchmarking allows shallow-sea creatures to enter the deep sea?
——But why did it come down? Benchmarked animals prefer high temperatures more than native animals on Earth. Even animals that originally lived in the deep sea will find ways to move to shallower waters after benchmarking, otherwise they will easily become extinct...
After thinking for a moment, Xiangshan slowly retreated and left here.
He does not have the conditions and resources to study wild animals now. No one knows how many filter-feeding squids there are on Earth. Meeting two in a row may mean that they are not rare, but there is another possibility that this squid is a sample captured by the scientific knight, and the attacker accidentally broke the container containing the sample.
Squids are just squids.
Xiangshan does not think that squids can achieve a leap-forward improvement like dolphins. Cephalopods do have extremely high intelligence (relative to other animals), but their intelligence development is very limited.
Cephalopods do not have the "myelin sheath" unique to vertebrates, and can only increase the speed of nerve signal transmission by increasing the cross-sectional area of nerves and reducing resistance. This is also the reason why human neurologists first used squids to study nerve cells. However, the overly thick nerves limit the evolution of the complexity of cephalopod neural networks.
Benchmarking surgery cannot allow these squids to obtain complex neural networks. Dolphins, which already have complex neural networks, may cross a certain critical point due to benchmarking.
This sunken submarine seems to have been scraped by someone, and no more evidence can be found.
This submarine has not sunk for a long time, and the scientific research knights related to it may find something wrong at any time, and the sea force of the protector may rush over at any time. Considering this, Xiangshan quickly left the submarine and reconnected the buoyancy device.
After that, Xiangshan circled around a few more times. The silt and gravel on the ground are very soft. Xiangshan observed carefully and found some traces.
It seems that something has stirred up the water flow and smoothed out some traces on the ground. Xiangshan couldn't tell what the trace was, but it shouldn't be a footprint.
Xiangshan thought of the dolphin's tail again.
——Are dolphins really related to this? Are those intelligent dolphins working for a certain force now?
——Also, who would do it here? It doesn't look like a knight. Is the internal struggle of the government so bloody? Or...
While thinking, Xiangshan left the seabed and floated to the vicinity of the vehicle.
After returning to the vehicle, Xiangshan made public the visual information he recorded and called others to discuss it together.
After reading all the intelligence, Yuan Wenren tentatively proposed a guess: "Senior, do you think it is possible that those dolphins did come to the sunken submarine, but the sinking of the submarine had nothing to do with them?"
"Considering the speed of the dolphin we encountered, it may have arrived only one or two hours earlier than us. And the monitoring equipment of our vehicle has not detected any obvious movement. It can be seen that when it sank, we were still far away from it. It may have sunk more than ten or twenty hours ago."
Xiangshan nodded: "It makes sense. And in this way, the two different disassembly traces can be explained."
Those "brutal sabotages," designed to hide information, were the work of those who sank the submarine.
And those "meaningless careful disassemblies" are for... searching for resources?
Maybe the dolphins did it.
Sixth day lamented: "The dolphins are not having an easy time..."
Xiang Shan nodded. The items that were dismantled are quite unimportant and can be seen everywhere on land. But the dolphins still chose to take it away. Their resource scarcity is dire.
"But having said that, one dolphin shouldn't be able to carry so much stuff..." Xiang Shan thought, "It looks like there's more than one?"
Yuki was more concerned about another question: "You guys...how did those dolphins discover that the submarine was silent? If they had nothing to do with the person who sank the submarine?"
Liuri asked: "Is their habitat nearby?"
"It's possible. Then make a note of this." Xiang Shan nodded: "We can't find anything more here. Recover the drone and let's move on."
Following Xiangshan's instructions, the underwater drones that had been released earlier came back one after another. Sixth and Yuki began to sort out the intelligence recorded by the drones.
Xiangshan began to take notes.
Suddenly, Yuki exclaimed: "Master, this is incredible...you have to look at this..."
"Ruined……"
