Beast Studio

The observer stared closely at the computer screen, mentally reporting the depth of Liu Wei's location.

"50 meters!"

"Rescue immediately!"

The lifeguard started the lifeboat and hung up to observe the sea level and get ready for departure.

Liu Wei dragged the giant squid out of the sea, but the squid was still clinging to his body.

"There!"

The lifeguard determined the direction, increased the power, and rushed away.

When the two lifeguards approached, he was stunned for a moment.

The giant squid wrapped around Liu Wei's body is too big.

Without Liu Wei's tentacles floating on the sea, they didn't know where to start?

As long as you reach out, you will be entangled by the giant squid. Apart from a life jacket, the lifeguard has no other protective equipment, so it is difficult to fight against this huge king squid.

Liu Wei stretched out his right hand from the water and waved the harpoon a few times.

The lifeguard received the message conveyed by Liu Wei, took the harpoon from his hand, and stabbed the carcass of the giant squid without hesitation.

One hit.

Suddenly, the surrounding seawater was dyed a dark green color.

The giant squid quickly extended its arms and legs to wrap around the harpoon, and the lifeguard immediately let go.

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, took off his mask, grabbed the lifeboat with both hands and climbed up.

Then he operated the lifeboat to follow the giant squid, and when it let go of the harpoon, he grabbed the harpoon and dragged it into the lifeboat.

The vitality of the king squid is very tenacious. Its tentacles and arms are moving and fully expanded, covering most of the lifeboat.

The two lifeguards took a few steps back when they saw this. Liu Wei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it has no strength anymore!"

After that, tie its body to the lifeboat.

The camera focused on the giant squid, and Liu Wei smiled and said, "Brothers, this guy almost killed me in the deep sea!

Let’s take a closer look! "

"It looks strange, right? Let me introduce its body structure to you in detail.

First, the fins! Liu Wei stretched out his hand and pinched the top part of the giant squid, "The fins are fins that grow on cuttlefish, squid and other molluscs. They rely on their fins to swim."

The king squid has short fins, so its swimming ability is not very strong. This is the main reason why I was able to drag it out of the deep sea!

The king squid floats in the deep sea mainly relying on ammonia ions in the muscles of its head, trunk and wrists. The density of ammonia ions is smaller than that of seawater, which can provide buoyancy for the king squid. "

Liu Wei stretched out his hand and gestured, "From the top of the fins to the top of the eyes is the carcass, and the part between the carcass and the arms and legs is its brain. The brain of the king squid is very small, and the eyes account for one-third of the entire brain. 1. The weight of the eyeball of a king squid of this size can reach 20 to 30 kilograms.

Its vision is very good. The retina of its eyeballs has extremely sensitive cells that are used to capture the weak light in the low-light layer. Those lights are most likely emitted by its food! "

"Damn it, thirty kilograms of eyeballs! So scary!"

"I always thought it was all a squid's head except for the tentacles!"

"My knowledge has increased!"

Liu Wei continued, "Next is the most creepy body part we have seen, the arm legs. The arm legs of the king squid are its main weapons for hunting. There are many suckers distributed on them. When launching an attack, the suckers move quickly It unfolds, then closes, sucks the prey tightly, then fixes the prey with the barbs on the suction cup, and then eats.

The two longest tentacles are its tentacles. The front end of the tentacles is a tentacle spike, which is used to sense and test prey. At the same time, there are strong muscles on the tentacles to wrap around the prey. It feels like a python wrapping around it. Same on body. "

Liu Wei reached out and grabbed the tentacles of the king squid and squeezed it. The sucker turned over and protruded outward.

After letting go, he started squirming on the lifeboat again.

That feeling is indescribable.

Disgusting!

Not to mention!

I just feel unwell and itchy all over my body.

"I haven't been able to measure the true length and weight of this giant squid yet, but it seems intuitively that he should be over ten meters!" Liu Weidao.

The longest known king squid in the world is currently 13 meters long, including the length of the tentacles, which is nearly two-thirds of the entire body of the king squid.

The Dream used a crane to vertically fish the giant squid onto the deck.

The crew was stunned.

"too big!"

"I've never seen such a big squid!"

"It's so scary. Will it eat people?"

Liu Wei asked two brave young men to take the measuring tape.

The measurement is 11.3 meters!

If its tentacles and arms are removed, the head and body are less than three meters long.

Not as scary as the legend says.

Liu Wei looked at the giant squid hanging vertically on the crane with satisfaction, "Brothers, this is the sea monster that is rumored to be able to arm-wrestle with a sperm whale!"

"Just make the tentacles a little longer. It's as big as a sperm whale, so I can't do it!"

“The sperm whale’s favorite food is the giant squid!”

"Those unscrupulous magazines are misleading people!"

"I still thought that the giant squid was really sixty or seventy meters tall and could capsize a boat!"

Liu Wei laughed and said: "Those rumors were all fabricated from domestic pseudo-scientific popular science books in the early years. Even now, when you search for king squid online, the pictures that pop up are also extremely exaggerated.

Here, let me clarify that the giant squid is not that scary at all, and it does not have the ability to kill sperm whales.

A comparison will make it clear.

Based on scientific measurements of multiple entities, scientists infer that large individual female king squid can reach 13 meters in length, with a carcass length of about 2.25 meters and a weight of 280kg.

On the other hand, the sperm whale has an average body length of 16 meters and a weight of 40 tons. Large individuals can grow to 20 meters and more than 60 tons. Compared with the giant squid, it can be said to be compared to elephants and ants. They are not on the same scale at all. opponent.

In fact, when the king squid encounters the sperm whale, it can only choose to escape or be eaten by the latter, and has no ability to resist at all.

It is precisely because the sperm whale likes to eat molluscs such as giant squid that it has evolved excellent diving abilities and often dives into the deep sea to hunt giant squid.

Of course, during the process of resistance, the giant squid will also use its tentacles and arms to absorb the head of the sperm whale, but it will not cause harm to the sperm whale and will only leave some traces of the suction cups.

In the end, the giant squid couldn't escape being swallowed. The sperm whale had two rows of thick teeth on its lower jaw. It opened its mouth and swallowed the giant squid in a few mouthfuls! "

"Hahahaha, the anchor has such a good image!"

"I followed suit!"

"By the way, is the king squid delicious?"

"It must be delicious! Sperm whale's favorite!"

Liu Weizheng was communicating with the audience in the live broadcast room, and the message came from the bridge, "Captain, satellite phone!"

Liu Wei climbed up to the bridge and answered the phone, "Hello! This is the Dream, and I am the captain Liu Wei!"

The other end responded: "This is the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. We have received information that the Dream has caught a giant squid. Captain Liu Wei, are you ready to deal with it?"

"Eat?" Liu Wei blurted out.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, "Captain Liu Wei, is the captured king squid still alive?"

"already dead!"

"Captain Liu Wei, China lags behind developed countries in the world in the study of marine life. The Chinese Academy of Sciences hopes that you can keep the carcass of the giant squid in good condition. When the Dream goes back on course, we will check it back and make living specimens. If it can be preserved, This will be the largest king squid specimen in the world!"

"I understand!" Liu Wei responded!
