Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 190
The white dot is clearly some kind of marine life.
In terms of scale, Renault alone can see no less than 3000, and the total number of the whole island is likely to exceed 10000.
How can so many animals suddenly emerge?
Where do they come from?
But didn''t Elon say that boot island is a relatively desolate island, and there are almost no other animals on the island except birds?
With this in mind, Renault has a positive answer.
This must be the creatures that migrate from other places after the storm season. Most of them gather here for only one purpose - reproduction.
Just like penguins or some seabirds on earth, they will gather in breeding places from all directions every breeding season to open a carnival of love and desire.
just after the turbulence appeared in the sea, the woodlouse on the islands of the tide islands stayed at home, and no longer went out, so they didn''t know that there was such a phenomenon at the door.
Several sailors on the ship Haichao also noticed this scene and called others out to watch. The deck soon became lively. When they saw something strange to see, no one cared about the biting cold wind any more.
Elon also came out of the captain''s cabin. He climbed to the top of the back deck, looked through his binoculars for a moment, and then went straight to Renault.
This kind of binoculars is also a portable equipment specially provided by Renault for the navigation department, and a by-product of Renault''s development of optical rangefinder.
Its magnification is 10 times. The lenses and prisms are ultra-high precision parts made by "mind power". The transmittance is over 90%. The image quality is very good, and there is very little stray light. Even if it is placed on the earth, it is absolutely an excellent telescope, and the price easily exceeds 10000 ocean.
"Lord, those creatures on boot island are like ice seals..." Elon spoke of his discovery with obvious shock on his face.
"Ice seal?" Hearing that there are seals in the alien world, Renault immediately became interested.
Elon noticed the look of the Lord and said all the information he knew.
"Ice seal is a kind of creature that lives in the permafrost snow plain in the north, where it is completely covered by darkness for half a year. In the coldest winter, even those with extraordinary fire system dare not enter the snow plain. Only a few kinds of creatures can live there, and ice seal is one of them..."
Elon''s "frozen snow field" is the Arctic region of the alien world.
"It''s said that ice seals often carry out activities as a family unit, no matter hunting or sleeping. They usually don''t get close to human ships easily, but their temper is not good. If there are ships close to ice sea leopards, they will fight back..."
"It''s said that the adult ice seal has a talent ability of ice system, which can easily freeze the enemy. When the ice seal group uses the ability together, it can instantly freeze a 20 meter long sailing boat..."
"Many people believe that there are at least more than 100 super ice seals in the waters near the permafrost. According to the rumor, there are even more powerful Warcraft ice seals, and more than one..."
"Originally, I thought that ice seals would only appear in the permafrost. The distance between boot island and the permafrost was more than 1000 nautical miles. I didn''t expect that there would be so many ice seals here..."
Finally, Elon made a conclusion with one sentence.
"It seems that humans know too little about ice seals..."
Renault could not help but curl his lips.
''s understanding of woodlouse seals is not too little, but very few.
In Elon''s story just now, except for the first sentence, the whole story is full of such words as "it is said", "heard", "according to the rumor". Are you sure you are not teasing me?
The devil knows how much truth and how much falsehood there are in these rumors.
In this world, you can''t expect any serious biologist.
It''s because the alien world is so dangerous. The academic experts on earth, who go to the alien world and die faster than anyone else, can only add a dish to the wild animals. If they want to do biological research in the alien world, they must at least be extraordinary.
Can be extraordinary enough to be called a success, why go to the wild blind a few waves? In case of encountering Warcraft that can easily crush the extraordinary, what should we do?
It''s very good that Elon can know so much information. These "said" and "heard" are proof of his wide knowledge. It''s not too much to be called "erudite".
If put on the earth, such a person as Elon is only a qualified "netizen" at best.
Isn''t netizen a species busy with hearsay every day? It''s not much different from Elon.
Renault, on the contrary, infers more from limited information.
The reason why the ice seals come to boot island is not only to participate in the carnival, but also to spend the winter here.
Because at this time, the Arctic is in the coldest period, and many fish either dive into the deep sea or migrate away, which is the period when food is most scarce.The water temperature of the island is relatively high, and the food is relatively rich. The female seal is more likely to prey here, and can accumulate more nutrition during pregnancy, so that the baby seal in her belly can develop more healthily.
When the storm season is coming to an end and the temperature rises, they will return to the permafrost, which is just staggered with the sailing time of human beings. This is also the reason why Elon has no knowledge of the existence of ice seals on boot island.
Renault is also sure that the baby seals will be born in the first rainy month and the hot month of the next year, because that''s the time when the Arctic sea has the highest temperature and the most fish.
More food means easier hunting, and seal cubs can get more food, greatly improving their survival rate.
Renault asked, "has anyone ever counted how many ice seals there are in the permafrost?"
Elon pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "there are no relevant statistics, but I estimate that there will be no less than one million."
Renault nodded, turned and looked at the boot island. At this time, Haichao was turning around the island and was ready to drive to the south of the island. The strong sea wind and the inertia of the huge ship made the ship tilt slightly.
In his opinion, "1 million" is only a very conservative number. The ocean is so rich in other places, not to mention 1 million ice seals, 5 million can still afford it.
Therefore, there will only be more ice seals in the permafrost, and the number of super ice seals will definitely be more than 100.
There are almost 10000 ice seals on this island. Will there be super ice seals?
Renault''s heart is beating.
Because every extraordinary creature means a perfect tonic pill.
And every time you hunt an extraordinary creature, it means you''re a step closer to page 6.
Although he knew that the super ice seal was another species compared with the ordinary ice seal, and its living habits would be greatly different from the ordinary ice seal, he still wanted to try to search for the super ice seal.
Reno stares at the creeping black spot in the distance and suddenly drops a sentence: "I''ll go to the island first. You can go directly to the South fjord. Don''t go to the island for the time being, and don''t disturb the ice seals..."
Then he took a fish gun and flew to the boot island.
Renault believes that no matter how powerful an extraordinary creature is, it can''t stand a "gun of heaven''s punishment". A fish gun is enough.
With his super fast flight speed, the distance of only 3 or 4 kilometers is almost instantaneous. After approaching the stone beach for more than 200 meters, he saw the appearance of the ice seal.
According to alien traditions, ice seals are also larger than their terrestrial counterparts.
Seals on the earth, such as spotted seals, are only 2 meters long at most, but ice seals easily break through 5 meters, which is longer than a BMW 5 series, and there are also 6-and 7-meter-long big guys everywhere.
In terms of appearance and physical appearance, ice seals have two most significant characteristics.
First, they are very fat.
When they use their short and thick limbs to crawl clumsily in the reef, their fat all over is shaking like waves. Even the thick skin covered with white fluff can not cover the waves. From a distance, there is a mass of white fat rolling, which looks ridiculous.
You can see from a glance that the fat content in their bodies is amazing. Only in this way can they withstand the terrible polar cold.
Second, they are covered with wonderful ice patterns.
A large number of light blue ice lines are distributed on both the limbs and the spindle shaped body. The larger the ice seal is, the denser the ice lines are.
It''s worth noting that the patterns that make up the ice patterns are quite strange, with some mysterious rules. Obviously, the patterns are not only decorative, but also related to their ice talent.
There are six or seven of these ice seals scattered on the rocky beach. One ice seal in each ice seal group must be extra large, while the others are smaller.
Renault speculated that the larger ice seals should be male, while the others are female. That is to say, ice seals, like their counterparts on earth, are also polygamous creatures. Moreover, the more powerful the ice seals are, the more female they will occupy.
When he passed the island at a high speed, he saw the largest group of seals, more than 15. The male ice seal in it was 8 meters long, which was a fat mountain.
Seeing Renault flying over the sky, the seals were in a commotion, and the ice seals roared one after another. The low roar of "ah woo ah woo" spread far away, and some male ice seals even tried to chase him.
However, their body structure is more suitable for swimming. On land, they are the short legs of the short legs, and they are not qualified to follow Renault.
This also shows that in the mating season, all male ice seals become grumpy brothers, and any creature who approaches their territory will be mercilessly attacked.
However, it''s not Renault who makes them so aggressive, but other males.
Renault obviously noticed that there were many isolated ice seals swimming around the seals, eyeing the female "leopards", always ready to take over the love.In order to guard against the hateful competitors, the male seals only chased a few meters and returned to the seal group.
When he realized this, he couldn''t help smiling.
It seems that even if no extraordinary ice seal is found, many corpses can be picked up.
