Zhang Zian blow-dried his hair and talked to the customer for a while. He asked Li Kun and Jiang Feifei to go next door to take care of the business, and he went up to the second floor.
The customer's suggestion to watch the whale was not bad, but if there was a moody giant whale in the shallow sea, it would be a different story. God knew when it would suddenly appear next to the boat, and if it overturned the boat and brought danger to the customer, it would be troublesome.
He knocked on the door, waited for a while, and then entered the bathroom.
Sihwa looked at him from head to toe and asked, "The water on your body was really sprayed by the whale?"
"Yes, I met the giant whale again, and it almost overturned the boat." Zhang Zian took out the things in his pocket and threw the wet clothes into the laundry basket, planning to wash them all together.
"What happened? You didn't play my song for it to listen to? " Sihwa frowned suspiciously. She didn't dare to say anything else, but she was very confident in her singing. She had never encountered any problems when she used her singing to communicate with the whale.
"Of course I did, but it didn't seem to work, and it had the opposite effect," Zhang Zian answered truthfully. "The strange thing is that your singing was effective on minke whales, but it didn't work on the giant whale. Do you know what's going on?"
Sihwa blinked innocently. Other than the white whale, she couldn't tell the other whale species apart. Even if he said it was a minke whale or something, she wouldn't know what kind of whale it was.
Zhang Zian told her about the important parts of today's trip to the sea, then concluded, "So far, your singing has only been played on two kinds of whales. One is effective, and the other is ineffective. I also wanted to find a few more whale species to increase the sample, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any. The problem now is that there are only two possibilities — either there's a flaw in your singing, or there's a problem with the whale. Which one do you think it is? "
"Impossible! There's absolutely no problem with my singing! It must be that your posture is wrong! "She was afraid that he would blame her, so she quickly shifted the blame.
Zhang Zian put his hand on his forehead. "What if the posture problem is temporarily excluded?"
"Then … then there's a problem with the whale! Right! It's probably deaf! "Sihwa rolled her eyes and suddenly said," Humans are deaf, and whales are also deaf! "
After she finished speaking, she was still very pleased with herself, as if saying "I'm so smart".
Zhang Zian said, "… There might be deaf people inside whales, but this giant whale shouldn't be deaf. I think it was attracted by your song."
Shihua was stunned. "Impossible! After hearing my song, it won't attack you anymore! "
"What I mean is that it did hear your song, but for some reason unknown to us, it did not understand or understand it. Do you think it's possible? "Zhang Zian explained patiently." Remember what I asked you? Are all whales able to understand your song? If I don't understand, will there be a misunderstanding? "
If it was in the past, Sihwa would have given an affirmative answer to this question without thinking, but now she was not so sure. If there was no problem with the giant whale, then the problem was with her singing. She did not want to admit this no matter what.
She tried to recall and said, "Most whales should be able to understand it, right? At least … the whales near Germany can understand it. I can learn it when I hear their song. If I can't hear it, then there's nothing I can do. After arriving in Binhai City, I can also understand the whale songs in the nearby sea … Maybe the giant whale came from a remote village! "
The low-frequency sound waves of whales could travel very far, but not infinitely far. Depending on the condition of the sea, it could travel up to a few thousand kilometers. Sihwa, who was born near Northern Europe, could only hear the whale songs in that range.
"Can you hear the voice of the giant whale now?" Zhang Zian asked again.
"No, there are too many whales nearby now. It's like a thousand ducks quacking. I can't tell who is who. I can only try not to listen and treat those sounds as the wind and rain in the background. Otherwise, I won't be able to hear what you guys are talking about. "Sihwa shook her head.
So that's how it is … Zhang Zian tried to think about it. It was really hard to have such a wide range of hearing. You could even hear some sounds that you didn't want to hear. If it was an ordinary person, they would have gone crazy. Luckily, Sihwa's brain was one-track mind.
Although the number of whales had been greatly reduced, within a few thousand kilometers, there were probably thousands of whales, including some giant whales. It was like thousands of people were talking at the same time. Trying to pick out a specific one was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
"I understand. Then I'll change the question. If you hear the song of the giant whale, can you understand and try to talk to it?" Zhang Zian threw out another question that he had prepared in advance.
"Uh …" Sihwa scratched her hair in distress and said uncertainly, "I haven't deliberately learned it. I learned it unknowingly … Probably."
"Okay, then I'll think of a way to get the whale's song." Zhang Zian nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
"Wait a minute!"
He was about to leave the bathroom when Sihwa called out to him.
"How are you going to get the giant whale's song?" Sihwa noticed the waterproof bag under his phone. "Are you going to put your phone in the water to record?"
"Of course not. The waterproof bag can only prevent daily splashes. If you really put it underwater, it might not be waterproof … Besides, even if the waterproof bag can be waterproof, it will also block the transmission of sound and cause distortion of the sound. That would be a waste of the recording. "Zhang Zian shook his head.
"Then …"
"If you want to record underwater, you can only find professional equipment. It's a high-precision recording equipment called an 'underwater pickup,'" he explained further.
"Oh, haha, so it's an underwater pickup …" Sihwa pretended to understand. "Can this thing be bought online? Like how you buy a boat online? "
"This can't be bought online. Even the almighty Taobao doesn't have it." Zhang Zian shrugged regretfully.
"Then what do we do?" she asked again.
"But I know a person. He's an associate professor in the Biology Department of Binhai University. He often goes to the field to do research. I think he should have it. I plan to give him a call later and ask if he can lend it to me. " Zhang Zian was quite sure that the dignified Biology Department definitely had such professional equipment. He was just not sure if he could lend it out.
"I … I'll call! I haven't gotten through to him on the phone yet! "Sihwa begged excitedly.
It didn't matter who called. It was the same. Anyway, he had a favor to ask of her, so he could satisfy her little wish.
Zhang Zian happily agreed to her request. He unlocked the phone screen and revealed the interface of the live broadcast app that had not been closed yet.
