In the past few days, Zhang Zian had been dreaming about that nameless German cape. He had dreamed about those densely packed weird marine creatures, and he had even created even weirder creatures in his dreams.
In the unfathomable ocean, there were many creatures that were enough to challenge the boundaries of human imagination. Once these creatures were all attracted by Sihwa's appearance in Binhai City, it was hard to imagine what the consequences would be. Evil sharks, giant whales, and giant squid gathering at the port would probably cause a big commotion.
It was comparable to a weapon of mass destruction!
Therefore, Zhang Zian was very concerned about the answer to this question.
Sihwa shook her head blankly, indicating that she didn't know.
Obviously, her ability to summon marine creatures was one of her passive skills. The source was probably in the phrase in her characteristic, "Provoke the fish to come to sleep with its companion." Because she was so beautiful, many marine creatures were unknowingly attracted to her, wanting to sleep with her.
Zhang Zian scratched his head. What should he do?
Sihwa didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all. She just hummed her own children's song and played with the little yellow ducks.
"One little yellow duck, two little yellow ducks, swimming to see oppa, oppa is not at home, coming back to find Sihwa …"
"Quack!"
Richard flapped its wings and flew up from downstairs. It happened to hear what he was saying, so it interrupted, "You idiot! Did you forget? Didn't she sing a song at that time and sing the white whale away? In my opinion, you should have brought the white whale back and rode it to see the Japanese actress that you've been longing for. That would have fulfilled the saying, 'If Japan rides the whale today, when will Zi' an return as a crane? '"
Zhang Zian picked up the soap and threw it at it. "Damn it! This is a f * cking couplet! "
"Quack!" Richard dodged it cleverly and flew downstairs to tease the other elfins. From afar, Zhang Zian could hear its noisy voice coming from the stairwell. "Raise your head to throw the soap, bend over to offer your chrysanthemum! I've finally matched this ancient couplet! "
As soon as it left, the second floor suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Zian thought about it carefully. What it said made a lot of sense. Of course, it wasn't about the white whale bowing down to offer its chrysanthemum. It was just that after hearing Sihwa's song, the white whale had left the coast and returned to the deep sea. This meant that although she couldn't control the sea creatures and make them not follow her, she could make them leave.
"Shihua, when we were on the coast of Germany, you sang a song with the white whale, right? Then the white whale left? "he asked.
"Yes." She nodded absentmindedly.
"Then can you do the same and make the marine creatures that are approaching Binhai City leave?"
She nodded and then shook her head. "It's too far, I can't hear it."
"You mean, if the sea creatures are too far away, they can't hear you?" he asked again.
"Yes."
Well, he hadn't considered that.
If Sihwa could leave the pet shop and go to the sea or the seaside to sing, then there would be no problem, but she couldn't leave the pet shop for the time being …
Should he try to record her singing and play it at the beach?
But that wouldn't do. Even if it was released at the seaside, how far could it travel?
Zhang Zian couldn't think of any other way to bring the mermaid to Binhai City. He didn't expect it to cause so much trouble.
He was about to go downstairs for a walk, and maybe he could think of a way. At that moment, he heard Sihwa mumble to herself, "If Oppa hears my singing, will he come here to look for me …"
"That's impossible." Zhang Zian took the opportunity to dispel her thoughts. "Isn't your oppa in Korea? This place is a few hundred kilometers away from Korea! "
She pouted. "A few hundred kilometers? How far is a few hundred kilometers? But I clearly heard the whale crying in that direction. "
As she spoke, she raised an arm and pointed in the direction of the North East.
Huh?
Zhang Zian froze and looked in the direction she was pointing, but he could only see the bathroom wall.
"Wait, what did you mean just now?" he asked. "You heard the whale crying? You can hear the whale crying from here? Why can't I hear it? "
"Because you're an idiot! Didn't that bird just call you an idiot? "She made a face at him.
Zhang Zian wasn't in the mood to joke with her. He asked seriously, "Sihwa, please answer me seriously. Can you hear the whale now?"
Sihwa rolled her eyes slyly. "Is there a reward for answering?"
"Yes, yes, of course there is," he answered casually.
"What's the reward? I want to watch TV! "she said excitedly.
Zhang Zian thought for a moment. "I can promise you to shorten your waiting time, but it's impossible to watch TV right away. I only have one TV at home, and Grandpa Tea is watching it right now. You see, Grandpa Tea is old. We have to respect the old and love the young, right? "
"Is it the tea-colored old cat that asked me to put on clothes?" she asked childishly.
"Yes, it's called Old Time Tea. You can call it Grandpa Tea like I do," Zhang Zian answered.
She wasn't very willing, but she reluctantly agreed. "Then will you keep your promise?"
"Of course," he promised. "Now answer my question."
"I can hear it. Not just the whale over there, but over there, over there, over there, and over there!" As she spoke, she waved her hand and pointed around, covering almost a 180-degree range from 2 o 'clock to 7 o' clock. She looked very serious, and it didn't seem like she was joking.
Zhang Zian understood.
The range of a human's voice spanned two to three octaves, while the range of a whale's voice spanned eight octaves. They could make a low murmur that human ears couldn't hear, to a high-frequency scale that almost pierced the eardrum.
Sound traveled at a speed of 340 meters per second in the air at room temperature, but in the sea, it traveled at a speed of up to 1,500 meters per second.
Whales used their low-frequency sound waves to communicate over long distances, and they could even send a simple signal to their whale companions thousands of kilometers away.
Relying on low-frequency sound waves alone was not enough to cross such a long distance. Whales could do this because there were "deep sound channels" in the major oceans. The so-called deep sound channels were actually water layers of different densities. Due to the difference in density between the water layers, they had the characteristic of guiding sound waves. However, this deep sound channel was only open to low-frequency sound waves, and it was a benefit that whales enjoyed exclusively.
The sound signals of whales were very complicated, and different types of whales made different sounds. Even the same type of whale would have a unique regional accent because they lived in different areas, just like humans.
They sang endlessly in the sea. Were they talking to each other, or were they humming a little song to entertain themselves? Although a lot of research had been done in recent years, humans still had no way of knowing.
Sihwa said that she could hear the sound of whales, and she pointed in the four directions of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. This meant that she could hear the low-frequency sound waves emitted by whales in the surrounding waters. This might be the privilege of being an elfin.
As soon as he thought about this question, he immediately asked in surprise, "Sihwa, why are whales crying?"
"I don't know …" She shook her head, puzzled. "I only know that they are crying."
Although low-frequency sound waves traveled extremely far, the amount of information they carried was very low, only one bit per second. In comparison, when humans spoke, the amount of information carried by each word was 10 bits.
So Sihwa was not lying, nor was she deliberately evading. She could really only hear the whales crying, but she had no way of knowing why they were crying.
Maybe after a while, there would be new information.
Sure enough, she tilted her head and listened again, then said, "The sound is very chaotic. They seem to be running away, as if they are being chased, and being … killed …"
As she said this, her face showed fear. Her white and smooth skin was covered with a layer of fine goosebumps because of the trembling.
"Forget it, don't listen anymore. I already understand," Zhang Zian interrupted.
Her mouth was half open, and she stared at him in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
"It's whale hunting. There may be people secretly hunting whales in Korea." Zhang Zian sighed. "This is obviously against international conventions, but … it's very difficult to completely stop it."
