Chapter 361 Understanding Sea Monsters

"This thing reminds me of an octopus." Ivan stood beside the ironclad ship, looking down at the corpse of the sea monster.

The sea monster's body was really too big, and its head was two and a half meters higher than the ironclad ship, which was the result of being bombarded.

If it is a sea monster in good condition, it must be very big.

"But it's not an octopus. I've eaten that kind of sea creature. It's much smaller than it, and it doesn't have such mutated tentacles." Captain Felton shook his head, pointing to the sea monster's tentacles.

The kraken's tentacles are sickle-shaped and bony, like sharpened blades.

The head of the sea monster has exploded, and there is no intact flesh except for the tentacles.

This sea monster was already dead, its blue blood slowly flowed into the sea, and the color of the blood merged with the deep blue sea.

Many sharks smelled the fishy smell and swam over violently.

"As expected of a sea monster, look at this tentacle. Although there is a round suction cup on the tentacle, the blade at the end of the tentacle is too deadly. If it gets stuck in it, we will die." Heinz said in surprise.

The crew members present had basically experienced sea monster incidents, but this was the first time for them to observe the corpse of the sea monster up close.

Those tentacles floated on the surface of the sea, revealing sharp blades, which made people feel scared.

What kind of bone is that, it grows so sharp, so flat, so sharp, like a polished blade.

"Your Majesty Allen, what do you think?" Captain Felton looked at Allen, wondering what conclusion the knowledgeable Allen would draw.

Allen was using the identification technique to check the body of the sea monster at this time. The identification words are as follows:

“[Eight-legged sea monster] This is a huge sea creature with blade-like tentacles, soft elastic skin, no eyes, sound wave detection twice as strong as that of dolphins, and likes to bask in the sun when it is full.”

"If there are huge objects passing by, they like to make some climbing behaviors..."

"Additional identification: it is the offspring of a certain civilization's experimental product, and its genes are different from ordinary octopuses."

After reading this piece of information, Allen said slowly: "Its huge body shape and mutated tentacles are related to genetic modification."

The orcs on the boat groaned, but they didn't expect that the sea monster was actually a genetic creation.

The word gene was coined in the biology textbook written by Allen. The naval personnel on the scene had experienced a short-term education, knew biology, and probably knew what a gene was.

"Has the gene really been modified?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"Genes can be modified. If we want to increase our lifespan, modifying genes is also one of the ways to live forever." Allen said lightly.

Orcs have a limited lifespan, but after modifying their genes, immortality is really not a problem.

For a while, the navy had infinite longing for the gene phrase, maybe their generation may really break through the limit of lifespan.

Allen ordered people to salvage the sea monster. Their ironclad ship has a small lifting machine, which is a preparation tool for lifting the sea monster, and it just comes in handy now.

The orcs pushed out the lifting device, and the four small steel wheels on the bottom rolled hummingly to the side of the ship. The lifting arm stretched out above the sea, and a steel cable and a large iron hook hung down.

At this time, the sharks were still swimming around. Some sharks were shot by the orc Allen with a gun, and more "meat" floated on the surface of the sea.

Then he used echolocation to confirm that there were no large fish underwater for the time being, and asked the soldiers to go down and insert the iron hook into the body of the sea monster.

The sailors jumped onto the sea monster's body and inserted their hooks into the bloody, charred flesh.

The huge head of the sea monster has been blown up, and its size is not very heavy.

When the crew returned, the orcs tried to lift the sea monster by hand, but they failed because the sea monster was too big to lift.

After that, a small steam engine was moved, and steam power was used to move the tentacle corpse of the sea monster onto the ironclad ship.

After the carcass of the sea monster was carried on board, the orcs gathered around, touched it here, touched it there, sniffed it with their noses, and even some orcs wanted to stick out their tongues to taste it.

I heard that octopus is a delicious food that can be eaten raw... The orcs thought so, but no one moved their mouths, because this is a sea monster, a genetically mutated monster, not a real octopus.

Allen took a box of surgical kits from the infirmary, which contained scalpels, scissors and other things.

Ivan and other orcs stared wide-eyed and watched Allen perform the dissection operation around the sea monster.

Anatomy is the first medical knowledge Alan taught the orcs. However, most of the crew members present had never seen Alan perform an operation. They only heard that the medical technique in Tomorrow City was very novel, and they would use knives on patients.

At this moment, Allen demonstrated the anatomy tutorial to everyone on the spot, dissected the whole tentacle of the sea monster step by step, and demonstrated its muscle tissue structure to everyone.

After a while, the sea monster's bone knife tentacles were completely separated from the bone and flesh.

The orc lifted this huge bone knife with both hands, not to mention that it was quite heavy, it weighed a hundred catties no matter what.

And this sea monster has a total of thirty bone knife tentacles, and the weight of the bone knife alone weighs three thousand catties.

When the sea monster was still alive, its real weight was undoubtedly heavyweight, and its strength was also great. Visually, a tentacles slashed, and it could cut off the main mast of a wooden sailboat.

"Will tentacles like this pose a threat to our ship?" Rhodes worried.

"Our ironclad ship's underwater armor is as thick as 15 centimeters. Don't worry, it's hard steel and it's not so easy to be pierced," Allen said.

Because of the existence of sea monsters, the armor thickness of the ironclad ship is also very thick, and a double-layer hull is also made. When the outer steel plate is broken, there is still a protective layer. In addition, the double-layer hollow design also enhances the buoyancy of the Pioneer.

Such a hull is an enhanced design by Allen. The orcs naturally don't understand the data in this regard, and they only rely on their intuition to think that the ironclad ship is a bit unreliable.

After dissecting the sea monster, Allen also had a deep understanding of the variation of the sea monster.

First of all, the tentacle muscle tissue of the sea monster is very developed, and the arm strength of a single touch is enough to swing a bone knife weighing a hundred catties to slash violently, just like ordinary humans chopping like a kitchen knife.

In addition, the round suction cups on the tentacles also have a strong adsorption force. If the sea monster wants to climb up the ironclad ship, it will be no trouble at all. Just stick to the armored wall, press and absorb the tentacles one by one, and it will take a few seconds to climb up the deck. .

In addition, the sea monster's skin has a lot of softness. When an ordinary dagger is inserted into its skin, the blade will only penetrate into the skin, but it will not produce a bleeding wound, but will absorb the blade instead.

This kind of skin is a genetic choice, which causes an adaptive change in the skin. When a sharp sharp object wants to pierce the skin, its skin will become smoother, thereby wrapping the sharp object and greatly reducing friction , and the outer skin will also increase the viscosity, absorb the weapon, and produce a sense of sight that the weapon has successfully broken the defense.
