After becoming an octopus

Human beings have never stopped researching and exploring unknown things, and the vast and boundless universe is one of the goals of human beings' uninterrupted exploration.

After humans landed on the moon, different countries around the world have launched manned spacecraft into space one after another, heading towards Mars, which is the most likely planet in the solar system for human migration. Currently, 23 countries have successfully landed on Mars.

In addition to exploring whether there are living things on the planet, humans also have the ambition to transform Mars into a second inhabited planet.

With the increase of the earth's population, the consumption of the earth's resources is accelerating. A planet suitable for human survival not only satisfies mankind's curiosity about the unknown, but also represents the possibility of obtaining more available resources from it.For this reason, human beings are very concerned about the transformation of the colonized planet.

Wanting to transform the planet is not whimsical, but it is not easy to realize it. In addition to many technical problems that are difficult to overcome, it will also consume the resources of the earth itself.

Once you decide to participate in the transformation of Mars, the funds will pour out like flowing water, and you may not get any good results in the end.

After landing on Mars, human beings once again fell into a bottleneck.

As mentioned earlier, human beings have never stopped exploring the unknown, and this unknown is not limited to space.

Professor Zhang Rui, a marine biologist who has always been obsessed with exploring the deep sea, believes that the resources in the deep sea are beyond human imagination. It is only because of the difficulty in mining that human beings guard the treasure mountain and cannot enter.Compared with spending a lot of resources to transform a planet that may not get results, exploring the mysterious ocean will ultimately benefit more.

This statement was criticized by citizens as short-sighted and even ridiculed by foreign countries when it was not based on precise interests.There are infinite possibilities in space, how can resources for exploring space be cut because of unseen benefits?

For a long time, there were not many people who supported Zhang Rui's views until 2116.

This year, Zhang Rui made a major discovery in the exploration of the ocean. The industrial research team funded by him with all his wealth finally developed a model that can withstand the pressure of [-] meters of deep sea water before he was about to sleep on the street. deep sea probe.

The first launch of the deep-sea probe took a lot of deep-sea scenes. One month later, a hundred ocean probes were scattered on the seabed around the world, and the camera of one of the deep-sea probes took pictures in the deep sea below [-] meters in the Antarctic sea area. Arrived a magical image.

In the pictures sent back from the camera, shallow-sea creatures and deep-sea creatures can ignore the restrictions of water pressure and environmental differences, and appear in the same space at the same time. There are even unknown species flashing past the picture, and the light hits the bottom of the sea. The style is both romantic and weird.

As soon as this video came out, it was immediately questioned that it was video synthesis, but after professional testing, it was confirmed that it was a real video.Even so, some people still have doubts about this, thinking that Zhang Rui is trying to grandstanding.

The clamor on the Internet does not prevent the country from appropriating funds for marine research projects. Zhang Rui has benefited a lot from this video. Countries have heard the news and want to obtain detector manufacturing technology from him. Zhang Rui has no intention of revealing the technology at all. However, many ocean detectors were sold at high prices.

After obtaining the ocean probe that can gallop under the deep sea of ​​[-] meters, the research on the ocean in various countries has entered an unprecedented hot stage. In the next ten years, there have been probes that have taken shocking pictures in the deep sea. Some probes have even captured images of several previously undiscovered species of marine life.

It's a pity that every time this kind of phenomenon is encountered, the ocean detector seems to have encountered a layer of diaphragm, unable to continue to explore further, and breaking into it will only damage the detector.

What is even more incomprehensible is that when someone launches a new probe to locate the damaged probe, except for the wreckage of the probe, there is no previous lively underwater ecological world in place.

After Professor Zhang Rui was abandoned by the original scientific research institute, he formed a team and began to study the deep sea. After repeated experiments and research, he published a speculation and research paper on the strange ecology under the [-]-meter deep sea.

Based on the conclusions obtained from continuous experiments, he speculated that there may be a strange magnetic field under the deep sea. Within the coverage of this magnetic field, creatures can find their most suitable living conditions.He named this mysterious sea of ​​magnetic fields - the Sea of ​​Absolute Balance.

Some people agree with this statement and some people refute it, but there is a sea area suitable for the survival of various marine life in the deep sea, which has become the consensus of mankind.

……

The earth calendar is 2135 years.

In the huge room with slightly dim light, large and small aquariums occupy most of the space, and several strangely shaped instruments are running at the same time, making a slight buzzing sound.The spacious room resembles a carefully remodeled aquarium.

Zhang Zexi carried the small bucket and walked a little wobbly along the narrow path between the aquariums. The fish in the bucket leaped out of the water, splashed a few clusters of water, and then fell back down again.

Holding the bucket in his right hand, he stopped in front of one of the aquariums which covered an area of ​​ten square meters and was about three meters high.

The aquarium is extremely quiet, and there are no traces of other living things in the clear water.

With his left hand, he grasped the scorpion on the side of the huge aquarium, nimbly climbed up to the top of the aquarium, opened the groove on the top of the aquarium, opened the special opening, and poured the small fish into the aquarium. Quickly close the opening again.

I went down the aquarium along the □□.

The small fish swam away quickly after entering the water. The wide space made them mistakenly think that they had regained their freedom, and they unconsciously let down their vigilance and roamed leisurely in the water.

In the dimly lit aquarium, the stones that were used as decorations suddenly opened their eyes.

In the next second, the sound of splashing water continued, and the small fish wandering in the water gradually disappeared, replaced by a few traces of blood remaining in the water, and these traces quickly disappeared in the water.

Zhang Zexi watched the changes in the aquarium intently, and a secret excitement rose in his heart.

'Stone' seemed to be swimming slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Zhang Zexi, and opened its big scarlet mouth to attack Zhang Zexi who was watching the excitement.

'Stone' Senbai's fangs hit the bulletproof glass of the aquarium, and the whole room shook slightly.

Zhang Zexi took a step back subconsciously, and then leaned up again, carefully observing this strange fish.

"Does the balanced sea really exist?" He murmured.

Eighteen years ago, the first probe to photograph the balanced sea successfully captured some marine life in it, and brought it back to land through the probe.At that time, the balanced sea area was not yet closed, but after humans successfully captured the creatures in the balanced sea area, they were completely isolated.

The stone-like monster in front of him was a product of that time.

The middle-aged man stared intently at the picture on the screen of the instrument, moved his fingers from time to time, and tapped the buttons on the console. Hearing this low-pitched question, he pulled out a little thought and gave back to his son, "If you If you can find a stronger argument that there is no balanced sea, then I welcome you to overturn this view."

Zhang Zexi is about to come of age, with the vigor of a young man, and a very beautiful and pleasing appearance, but her smart eyes are a little restless, "Several of my classmates always say that those video materials are fake, and there is no way that the bottom of the sea can appear." A place like the Balancing Sea."

Zhang Rui kept a straight face, and unconsciously showed a bit of disdain in his tone, "It's up to them whether it's true or not. The exploration of the seabed has already begun, and the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

"What about the doubts of other marine biologists?" Zhang Zexi moved to his father's side with his hands behind his back.

"Because they have doubts, their achievements are not as high as mine." Zhang Rui said this confidently, and he also has the confidence to say so.

The cell phone rang, and the alarm clock set by Zhang Zexi rang. He wiped his hands with a tissue on the table and said, "It's time, Dad, I should go back. Tomorrow..."

"I'm sorry for Zexi. I need to go abroad tomorrow, so I can't celebrate your birthday with you. You can go play with your friends." Zhang Rui picked up his phone and transferred a sum of money to his son.

"You said the same thing last year and the year before last." Zhang Zexi's tone was unavoidably disappointing, but it was not just last year and the year before last.Zhang Rui is always very busy. If he wants to see his father, he can only go to the other party's research institute, "But I will be an adult tomorrow... Forget it, I'm leaving, go get busy."

"There will be a thunderstorm tomorrow night, don't play too late, remember to go back early." Zhang Rui followed Zhang Zexi and sent him out.

Zhang Zexi left the research institute, ran [-] meters and turned back, waved to his father who sent him out, with a smile on his face, as if the disappointment just now had disappeared, "Go back, I'm leaving."

……

The curtains of the room were not drawn, and the light of lightning flashed outside the window from time to time, illuminating the furnishings in the house. The thunder that followed immediately shattered the window glass, and the furniture in the room made a shaking hum.

A bulge bulged on the soft double bed, as if frightened by the thunder, the bulge writhed a few times uneasily, and it took a while for a head to emerge from the bed.

Zhang Zexi squinted his eyes sleepily, looking at the furnishings in the house with the occasional thunder light, and it took him a while to remember that this was his own room.Thunder and lightning still occupied most of the sky with great fanfare, and the bean-sized raindrops began to fall, and the water droplets made a crackling sound on the window glass.

The clock in the room had already pointed to 25:[-] in the morning. Zhang Zexi sat up from the bed, a thin layer of sweat covered his body with the quilt, and patted his drowsy head from the hangover.

Just yesterday, he stepped into the ranks of adults, went to the bar with his friends, and was supported when he came back.

He slept deeply, and if it wasn't for the thunderstorm, he would probably sleep through the night.

The stickiness on his body was uncomfortable, and he dragged his feet into the bathroom.

Turn off the tap and lie down in the bathtub.

Before he could sigh comfortably in the future, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in the room, and Zhang Zexi, who was lying in the bathtub, was the first to suffer. The numb and painful electric sensation spread all over his body, and he fell into a coma after only a few twitches.

Before he lost consciousness, there was only one thought in his mind: He knew that he couldn't take a shower during a thunderstorm, but no one told him that he couldn't take a bath in the bathtub during a thunderstorm!
