Endless route

Chapter 58 19. The truth about the Kraken

Zheng Yun was stunned by these words. He had no idea that Professor Zhang actually knew his adoptive father. He quickly asked politely: Teacher, do you know my father?

It's just acquaintance. When he brought you to register for school, I happened to be playing chess. He said that I was a bad chess player, so I played more than ten games with him, but I couldn't beat him. Later, I occasionally asked him to learn chess.

Professor Zhang showed a tired smile and looked at the ghost general next to Zheng Yun, especially the two long knives:

I don't know what kind of profession Lao Jiang is, but you should be better than others. Lao Jiang is timid. You are more courageous. It's a pity that you don't continue to study for graduate school. How did you get here?

Don't dare.

Zheng Yun waved his hand quickly, and then roughly explained the situation, starting with Professor Zhang's wife looking for someone, and also mentioned Liu Ming and several people, as well as the rescue situation, but omitted the trip to the island to kill monsters.

It is indeed difficult to save people in this kind of weather. This time I have learned more. Warships will be helpless when facing the relics left by our ancients.

Professor Zhang sighed and asked Zheng Yun to sit in front of the bonfire. He turned to look at the ghost general next to Zheng Yun: Are these two your friends? Not bad. They are so tall. Please sit down and have a rest.

They are not good at words. Zheng Yun replied.

If you can come here to kill, don't leave in a hurry. This Qianzhou Strait is somewhat hidden. Professor Zhang meant something.

I'm here to save you, teacher. Zheng Yun shook his head and said. He really wasn't here to explore ancient buildings.

It's not necessary. The more than thirty people around me are from our scientific research team, and they carry equipment worth over 100 million. I'm going alone, and there's no place to put my face.

Professor Zhang pointed around. A group of middle-aged and elderly people, all Western professors, had been looking at Zheng Yun and the three of them. Zheng Yun only noticed them now.

This is my student Zheng Yun. He stumbled all the way here. He looks ugly and laughs.

Professor Zhang pointed at Zheng Yun and introduced him in English. He was joking, but his face was full of pride and pride, showing off to other professors.

Zheng Yun was silent. Professor Zhang's serious scholar-like persona was somewhat broken.

But he could understand and satisfied the professor's vanity. He turned around and nodded to the other professors, and quietly asked the ghost general to shake the blood off his body.

Then there was a chorus of praise.

Other professors are very envious.

Although we are trapped, we have done some research and found that the sea monster here should be a member of the Mammalian order Carnivora, a member of the same genus as hundreds of species of mermaids. It has the characteristics of living in groups and has a cruel temperament that is difficult to domesticate.

Looks like an accident.

But we can't rule out human factors. Did you hear a strange wind sound on the way here? It should come from a musical instrument called a xun.

It is rumored that the sinking of the Qianzhou Strait Marine Corps was caused by Zhang Kuixi's command to the sea monster. I don't know how he tamed the sea monster, but he probably used Xun to command it.

The sound of this xun is almost identical to the sound of natural sea breeze blowing over the islands and reefs. If there was no wind at the time, I would not be able to tell whether it was true or false. This thing must have been made by a master, and its internal structure is extremely delicate and complex.

Professor Zhang spoke seriously, and his painting style changed instantly, returning to the feeling of an old professor.

I've heard it, and I've heard similar sounds near Qianfu City in the sea. Zheng Yun opened his mouth to add clues, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He had heard this sound more than once, and indeed once it was Wu Feng who heard it.

Is this actually man-made?

If the disaster was caused by a storm, Zheng Yun wouldn't have anything to worry about. But if the sea monster was ordered by humans, then the problem would be huge, and the level of danger would suddenly skyrocket.

Offshore Qianfukuo City? That shouldn't be wrong. Qianfukuo City is the only calm harbor near the W-04 and W-05 jump lines, and the surrounding islands and reefs are densely packed. The warm currents from the southern hemisphere converge here.

When the W-04 and 05 storms hit, fish schools will be driven here, so fishermen have gathered here since ancient times, and it may also attract a large number of sea monsters.

The sirens have lived in the nearby waters for tens of thousands of years. It is assumed that every time a storm hits, they can go to the offshore to eat and drink. The storm will definitely cause strong sea winds, which will be blown to the offshore with the ocean currents, causing nearby islands to The reef made a similar screeching sound.”

The siren is likely to be tamed by nature. Once it hears this sound, it subconsciously thinks that there are fish nearby that are being driven and gathered to enjoy a feast, so they hear the sound and go looking for it.

If the hypothesis is true, then it is not difficult to command the sea monster. As long as the sound of the wind on the island is copied, the sea monster can be attracted, and then the sound of the xun can be used to command.

Zheng Yun nodded frequently.

He secretly thought that he was worthy of being a professor. His words were explained in a simple and profound way, and he used only very simple principles to deduce the scientific explanation for commanding the sea monster.

I also lamented that the Qianfu City near the coast was a treasured place of Feng Shui, where typhoons and tsunamis did not dare to intrude. I did not expect that this characteristic was one of the causes of the Kraken.

It seems that many of the mysteries and weirdness of metaphysics are based on insufficient scientific development, and its weirdness is limited by the times.

The metaphysical result of commanding the sea monster is actually caused by the topography, ocean currents and the movements of fish schools.

But the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

The ancients may have observed and recorded this phenomenon, or perhaps some famous officials saw the truth and then made ancient xuns to use them.

Spanning hundreds of years.

The sound of the xun still echoes in the sea.

This subtle blend of history and modernity gave Zheng Yun some strange feelings in his heart.

At that time, Zhang Kui had been planning for a long time and blew the sound of the xun on the sea in order to ambush the Emperor Jia with hidden monsters in the shallow sea. However, he did not know what caused the sound of the xun today.

The only thing I don't know is how Zhang Kuixi made the sea monster like to eat human blood, how he controlled it and hid it in the shallow sea, and how he made it attack ships.

do you know?

As Professor Zhang was talking, he suddenly asked Zheng Yun a question with a strange expression.

I really don't know. Zheng Yun said truthfully.

He only knew how to get to the Three Demon Islands, which was discovered and recorded by ancient sea guards.

The ancients did not have modern scientific knowledge. When they encountered matters such as commanding the sea monster, they had insufficient knowledge and regarded it as metaphysical records. They had not and could not conduct in-depth research.

Or maybe it's the same as last time, everything has been discovered, but because the angle is different, the details are deliberately hidden to avoid future troubles.

I thought you knew, your family should have some knowledge to know. Professor Zhang said calmly.

What did the teacher say? Zheng Yun was confused.

This kind of mysterious mysticism is so complicated that I can't explain it clearly. I didn't believe in anything before, and I even argued with your father while playing chess. Until your father showed me a video, a video that can never be explained scientifically. Professor Zhang's expression suddenly changed. A change.

What video? Zheng Yun's scalp went numb. He didn't expect that his adoptive father would be so angry that he would hug the family.

You haven't seen it? Then I really can't tell you. You should know it later. Professor Zhang suddenly smiled again, and then patted Zheng Yun on the shoulder:

There is a problem with the Qianzhou Strait, but it is not impossible to solve the problem. If we can find Na Xun, we may be able to lure these sea monsters away and save people.

Can't we use the radio to record? Zheng Yun didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he had a plan in mind.

How can a radio be compared with the Xun? The Xun should be restored one to one. There is a sea engraved in the Xun and three thousand islands and reefs. The population is the wind and the Xun is nature, so it can be so lifelike.

Professor Zhang smiled and said, and added: You probably just want to hear me talk about the ancients, right? It's the same habit as your father, to value the past over the present.

...

Zheng Yun was silent.

The adoptive father is indeed of such a temperament that he prefers antiques, but he also has his own reasons. The secret realm behind the black jade pillow is indeed not something that modern people can figure out.

Think about it. The xun is probably played by people. There might be some conspiracy behind it. You have to weigh it carefully. Don't go if you're not completely sure.

Professor Zhang advised.

I have sent people to find the underwater idols. If there are more of them, can we drive away the sea monsters here?

Zheng Yun is now a little worried. Is it possible that the person who stole the statue is the person who controls the sea monster here and deliberately salvaged the statue and took it away?

If this is the case.

Then Hu Ruihua and the others are in danger.

The underwater statue here may be made of a compound. It may emit a smell to drive away sea monsters. It should also be useful.

Professor Zhang nodded.

Zheng Yun sighed silently. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became about whether Hu Ruihua and the others could get the statue.

Qianzhou Strait is the only way to Qianfu City. In fact, he is now closer to Qianfu City than Hu Ruihua and the others.

Compared to the more dangerous Three Demon Islands, maybe you can go to Qianfu City to take a look first.

As long as he bypasses Sanyao Island and can swim through the Qianzhou Strait, and the luxury cruise ship is stranded here, there is no shortage of fuel, then he can go to Qianfu City to find out.

Thank you [Tuberculosis Ghost] for the 100 reward, thank you very much!

This book is... really science fiction.
