"What's going on?" On the other side of the communicator, Kirk looked a little nervous. Anything that could be classified as' big trouble 'by Warsaw was definitely difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Kirk, I've discovered some echo conches in the coastal area. Please send your men to evacuate them. The situation is urgent, please act immediately!"
Warsaw's voice was trembling slightly, and this made Kirk even more worried. What kind of echo conch could cause this famous' Mermaid Princess' to react like this?
Although there were many things he did not understand, Kirk still followed Warsaw's instructions and immediately sent his men over with the best equipment. Kirk even personally supervised the operation.
When Kirk saw the image sent over by the underwater personnel, he was shocked.
The diving personnel pushed aside the seaweed and revealed six conches that were about ten meters long. Other than their size, they did not look much different from other conches. However, it was these six conches that caused Warsaw to tremble in fear.
"These echo conches must not be damaged in the slightest. If they are broken, it is highly likely that they will emit sound uncontrollably. If they emit sound, then everything will be too late." Warsaw said.
Kirk sent out one order after another into the communicator. At the same time, the Feniers Family had already put the coastal area under martial law. If there were any unusual movements or suspicious people, they would kill Wushe.
"What is an echo conch?" Kirk finally asked.
Warsaw forced a smile upon hearing this, "I was careless. Even the natives of Sector H rarely know about echo conches, much less those who are not from Sector H. It is normal that you do not know about them."
After adjusting her breathing, Warsaw continued, "You know that fishes and many other marine creatures do not have ears in the true sense of the word. They receive and feel sounds through their skin. Some sounds will gather some special sound waves. We cannot hear these sound waves, but they will cause pain when they act on our eardrums. "
Warsaw pointed at her head, "That is why many humans will feel a headache when they hear certain sounds. Or perhaps, the sound waves that are beyond the range of human hearing are completely inaudible to humans. However, these sounds have a huge impact on the creatures living in the sea. "
"I wonder if you have heard of 'Sea God's Summon'?" Warsaw asked.
"I remember Tobo reading a fairy tale that involved the 'Call of the Sea God'. In the story, the Sea God would summon the monsters that lived deep under the sea to punish the sinners." When Tobo was young, Kirk used to read him fairy tales. He had seen such a story, but Kirk had never taken it to heart. After all, it was just a fairy tale.
"It sounds like a fairy tale, but the Call of the Sea God is real. It happens in the deep sea, in the Abyssal Crevice. When there was a change in the seabed's crust, due to some physical or chemical reasons, there would be some sounds coming from the cracks. Even the most advanced instruments could not simulate it. Humans will get headaches if they hear these sounds, and in severe cases, they will die directly. However, for sea creatures, especially the giant deep-sea sea beasts, these sounds will stimulate their skin, making them excited, and they will chase after the sounds.
Hearing Warsaw's explanation, Kirk felt goosebumps all over his body. The communicator in Kirk's hand was on, and Castella was listening quietly on the other end of the communicator. He could not help but sigh at the unknown mysteries of Sector H.
"Echo conches live at the bottom of the sea, and they usually live around those cracks. Every time a crack makes a sound, the echo conch will remember the sound. Every few years, they will emit the sound they remembered and attract the deep-sea creatures. These creatures will then bring the echo conches to other places and reproduce. For young echo conches, the water environment in the crack zone is not suitable for them. When the crack makes a sound again, the echo conch will stick to the deep-sea creatures and return to the crack's surroundings, absorbing the certain factors released from the crack for the echo conch's growth.
Therefore, for adult echo conches, the area around the crack is a place they must survive. If they leave this place, they will not live for more than twenty years. Before the echo conch dies, they will emit one last sound, and it is also the loudest sound they have ever made in their lives. "
"According to the condition of this planet's ocean, there are no deep sea cracks like that, so it is impossible for echo conches to exist. Right now, the echo conches under this sea area should be brought over by the Wiesen Family. Because the condition of this planet's ocean is not suitable for reproduction, and there are no cracks that emit sound to 'summon' sea creatures, these echo conches have always been in a state of hibernation. However, this state of hibernation is about to reach its limit. If they were placed in the deep sea, they could still persist for three to five years, but placing them near the sea has undoubtedly accelerated their death. There is a possibility that they will emit their final sound at any moment. "
Kirk could not help but recall. The cooperation between the Feniers Family and the Wiesen Family had been cut off five years ago, and the closest period of cooperation was ten years ago. These echo conches should have been secretly placed into the sea ten years ago as well. This meant that the Wiesen Family had been plotting against the Feniers Family since ten years ago. They had set up a hidden bomb on this planet that the Feniers Family used as Sector H's administrative center, and the joint suppression of the Feniers Family and the Binger Family over the past two years had caused the Wiesen Family to decide to activate this sleeping bomb.
Kirk checked for a bit, and according to the records of the coastal sea's defense system, there were no threatening incidents here a month ago. However, if there was anything unusual, then it would be those dolphins that had appeared at that time. On this planet, it was not rare for dolphins to appear in groups near the sea. This was especially true in the past few years, as similar situations had appeared in every part of the planet's coastal sea.
From the looks of it, those dolphins had been trained to transport these echo conches here. Since there were only dolphins and conches, the defense system did not classify them as a threat. After all, they had never encountered such an incident before. Moreover, Kirk had never objected to the activity of dolphins and other sea creatures near the sea in the past, but now …
"Perhaps the Wiesen Family was the one who planned the dolphin swarm incident in the first place. I remember that there are people in the Wiesen Family who are skilled in taming, and the Wiesen Family's experienced tamer has always kept a low profile and is unknown to the public."
Kirk and Castella also agreed with Warsaw's opinion.
"As long as these echo conches have not reached their final deadline, as long as they have not made any noise, this matter will be easy to handle. After we get them out, we can throw them far away into the depths of the sea and blow them up. No matter how they scream, they will not have any impact on the coastal areas."
Kirk sighed. "I hope so." At the same time, he transferred a group of people over to strengthen the defense, to prevent external interference.
Inside the manor.
Huimao squatted on the windowsill, looking in the direction of the sea. Silin sat on a chair next to the window, reading a book. Huimao's cat tail was draped over his arm.
Huimao could see what was happening in the distant coastal sea. Although he could not see the situation at the bottom of the sea, Huimao could monitor the communication device in the aircraft parked above the sea. Through monitoring these conversations, he could roughly understand what was happening. Huimao listened to every word of the conversation through the communication device. Then, Huimao transmitted this information to Silin through his tail on Silin's arm.
From an outsider's perspective, there was nothing unusual about this man and cat.
"Hmm? There are fish coming! And there are quite a lot of them! "Huimao suddenly said.
