Cyber Heroes

In fact, the reason why Xiangshan said "leave" so simply was because he gradually recalled more details.

For example, Mr. Ola Freeman has actually always hated Xiangshan.

Because of the incident with the scaly-horned gastropod snail, Freeman was indeed grateful to Xiangshan for a long time. But this positive perception was almost exhausted by 2040. Around 2060, Ola Freeman’s daily activities included “trolling on social media about news reporting on Xiangshan-related information.”

Mr. Ola has too many reasons to hate Xiangshan. Xiangshan is a technologist, an industrialist, and a very skillful capitalist. Ola Freeman is an environmentalist and has a certain tendency to oppose big industry. And for a period of time at the end of Secret Wars, Ola Freeman felt that Xiangshan, who founded the Superman Enterprise, was partly responsible for that corrupt situation.

To put it simply, Xiangshan and this guy are incompatible.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Aura still firmly believed that Nia Guti and Yawgmoth's entry into the Superman Enterprise was a huge mistake and was adding to the inequality in the capital world.

Judging from the veteran's performance, Ola Freeman is very prestigious in this underwater base. Judging from the tone of his words just now, it seems that the grudge from back then has not completely disappeared.

Xiangshan may also seem a little embarrassed to stay here. In this case, it would be better for him to take the initiative to get supplies and leave.

As long as Panic is safe, the people and whales here have been a big help.

He never expected that Aura would retain him.

"It's impossible for me to refuse asylum to her guardian in front of the child. And Kledich told me something. It seems that you encountered Yawgmoth's bastard army." Orla Freeman waved Waved his hand: "Your equipment is not suitable for underwater use at all. I think you need more than 'a little' supplies... You'd better make them yourself."

When we got here, Hopkins, the sperm whale, let out a long cry. According to Xiangshan's understanding of whale language, this should mean that he wants to leave. Aura nodded and said something to Hopkins. Then, a chubby killer whale pushed its head toward the mountain and motioned for him to go down by himself.

Jumping off the whale toward the mountain, he turned around and waved. The big whale also waved its fins. It seems that he also understands the "goodbye" in human body language.

Then, the huge sperm whale took three young killer whales and headed for the shallow sea.

Only in shallow seas can there be plankton that can provide them with food.

Soon, the whales disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the melodious whale songs in the infrasound frequency band still echoing.

Aura and the soldier led Xiangshan forward, while the dolphin held up Panic's escape capsule and quickly shuttled back and forth between the few people, enjoying themselves very much. Xiangshan couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Were they exposed to some cruel humans this time? How come they don't feel any pressure at all?"

"Pressure? This sea has already given them too much pressure." Aura sighed: "Survival is already very difficult. Adding more pressure is just that. Why bother asking them 'Why should they be happy'?"

"That's right." Xiang Shan nodded: "It's not easy. Those big men still have to take the cubs of other species with them, constantly looking for food?"

"Although they use electrical energy to replace respiration, their bodies still need nutrition and will still be hungry. Dolphins can only eat when they are young. The same goes for killer whales. They are only allowed to eat baleen whales or baleen whales when they are young. milk. After the first estrus period of sexual maturity, they will give up their physical bodies forever and enter mechanical bodies to further reduce consumption. And the bodies they abandon will not even be wasted..."

Xiang Shan was shocked: "This way..."

"Is it weird?"

"No... Well, aren't you afraid of prions and the like?"

Prion, also known as prion, is an infectious agent that does not contain nucleic acid. It is something that was accidentally born due to misfolding of proteins in humans. It accidentally has the ability to make "correctly folded proteins" become the same as itself. Such misfolded proteins are continuously produced and accumulated in every organism. But the organism's immune function will also actively eliminate these misfolded proteins. And cannibalism can easily cause misfolded proteins to exceed the threshold of the body's self-purification ability.

"The diet of some killer whales originally included similar species." Aura raised her head, looked at the unexplained darkness above, and sighed: "Orcas are actually a very complex creature. They existed before the great infection. Different tribes have different dialects and dietary preferences, and there are even differences between 'settled' and 'safari'. Some whale groups do hunt killer whales from other tribes."

"In fact, many large toothed whales prey on other whales. If prions were really that scary, whale groups with a tradition of hunting their own kind would have become extinct long ago."

Speaking of this, Freeman sighed: "Furthermore, only industrialized meat and bone meal can lead to large-scale infections of mad cow disease. The unwanted bits and pieces of beef cattle are made into meat and bone meal, and fed to the next generation of meat." Cows, and so on, lead to a gradual increase in prion levels. The same goes for cannibal tribes among humans. Their funeral benefit is to eat the flesh of their own kind in order to inherit his courage, strength, wisdom - and Misfolded proteins. A tribe would have to repeat these funerals for many years, eating each other for a long time."

"But the guys here are all from different species. As long as you pay a little attention, it is difficult to have that kind of problem. This kind of meat, as well as whale milk, occasionally some baleen whales will come back with a mouthful of small fish and shrimp. We Make those fish and shrimp into minced meat - that's all they can eat for the rest of their lives."

Speaking of these whales, Ola Freeman's tone was much more natural.

Soon, Xiangshan and the others came to a certain place. The dolphin's tail stirred wildly, spreading the mud and sand, revealing a lid. The warrior opened the lid, and then the group got in.

This is a section of pipe made of man-made material. The pipe went straight down at first, then turned a U-shaped bend and headed straight towards the mountain. After that, the corridor behind Xiangshan was blocked by a gate, entering a closed area. The water pressure begins to gradually decrease.

Only after decompression did they move on.

"Okay, we're here." Aura's tone finally showed some brightness: "This is the result of our two hundred years, the town of Dolphins."
