Whales were the largest creatures in the world. Among them, the largest blue whale could reach 30 meters in length and weigh more than 200 tons. It was much larger than the largest dinosaur.
These behemoths that lived in the ocean weren't actually fish, but mammals. They had an IQ comparable to a ten-year-old child, and they had a gentle temperament. They were very friendly to humans, and there were often situations where whales saved people.
But humans weren't so friendly to whales!
Because whales were full of treasures and had high value, they were crazily hunted by humans.
Whale meat could be eaten, whale skin could be used to make leather bags, and whale oil was extracted from whale fat because its viscosity didn't change at high temperatures. Therefore, it was used as lubricant for some precision instruments. The economic value of killing a whale was considerable.
Following the mass hunting of whales by humans, the number of whales sharply declined, and many species of whales were on the verge of extinction. Finally, in 1986, the World Whaling Commission passed the "Global Convention on the Ban of Whaling".
But this convention only strictly prohibited commercial whaling, and didn't stipulate scientific whaling. Therefore, when other countries basically stopped whaling and began to pay attention to the protection of whales, the State of Sun continued to hunt whales under the banner of "scientific research", turning a deaf ear to the opposition of various governments and organizations.
Sea Shepherd's biggest enemy was the "scientific whaling ships" of the State of Sun!
The "battle" between the two sides was far more than what Chen Mo saw. In fact, the two sides had been fighting for more than a decade!
Sea Shepherd had more than a dozen anti-whaling ships that were directly donated or purchased by environmentalists from various countries. They would patrol the main areas where whales were active, and if they encountered the whaling ships of the State of Sun, they would use dangerous and radical methods to interfere with the whaling operations, use ropes to entangle the whaling ships' propellers, throw stink bombs, and even ram and forcibly board the ships to stop them.
The State of Sun had always called Sea Shepherd an environmental terrorist organization, and even sent warships to provide protection for the whaling ships, sinking several anti-whaling ships.
Obviously, the scene that appeared in front of Chen Mo was the anti-whaling ships of Sea Shepherd preventing the "scientific whaling ships" of the State of Sun from killing whales.
In fact, it wasn't just whaling. The two sides had also had many conflicts over dolphin hunting.
Every year, the State of Sun and Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture would carry out large-scale dolphin hunting activities. Fishermen drove motorboats to drive tens of thousands of dolphins to a small bay that was closed on three sides and hunted them with harpoons. Every year, at least tens of thousands of dolphins were slaughtered here. During that time, the entire bay would be dyed red.
Every year, Sea Shepherd would send out a large number of people to Dolphin Bay to organize the dolphin hunt despite the resistance of the local government, police, and residents.
If one were to ask which country hated Sea Shepherd the most, it would definitely be The State of Sun!
After figuring out the origins of the two ships below, Chen Mo couldn't help but frown.
Although Chen Mo was not a compassionate person, he was still very resistant to the act of killing whales and dolphins.
If it was in the past when productivity was lagging behind and even filling their stomachs was a problem, it would be fine. After all, it was for survival. But now, it was obviously far from the point where they couldn't survive without killing whales. Moreover, the cost of these whaling ships for ocean operations was not cheap. Obviously, it was not something that ordinary fishermen could own.
Moreover, to be able to get the support of the government, wantonly hunt in the name of scientific research, and even dispatch warships to escort them, there was obviously an unknown chain of interests behind this.
Due to the destruction of the environment by human beings, under the influence of the greenhouse effect, ocean pollution, overfishing, and other factors, the marine ecology had suffered tremendous damage.
Now, when countries and various environmental protection organizations in the world were working hard to protect the marine ecology and restore the whale population, The State of Sun was wantonly hunting whales for its own selfish reasons, destroying the results of other people's hard work.
If it was someone else, it would be fine. But for Chen Mo, who took the responsibility of protecting the earth, or in other words, the entire earth was his private property, their behavior had crossed his bottom line.
In the past, Chen Mo's attention was all on shuttling between worlds, improving his strength, and developing his forces. He did not pay attention to this.
Now, his strength was close to the level of Heavenly Father, and he was already an invincible existence on earth. Shendun and Hydra were also developing rapidly, so there was no need for him to worry too much. As the guardian of the earth, he should do something for the earth!
Since he happened to run into it, he would go and take a look!
He used his telekinesis to sense the situation in the cabin behind him. As the only sober and normal person on the plane besides Chen Mo, Gao Yuan was performing his duties as a flight attendant, busy taking care of the other passengers. Chen Mo believed that without his permission, Gao Yuan would not rashly enter the cockpit.
Immediately, Chen Mo did not waste any time. He adjusted the plane to autopilot mode and asked Jarvis to pay attention to the plane's situation at all times. He got up and walked to the back of the cockpit, where the two fighters could not see him. Estimating that it was about time, he immediately teleported and disappeared from the cockpit.
The next moment, Chen Mo, who had turned on the stealth device, appeared on the sea below. The two ships that were still fighting fiercely were not far in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo had lowered his altitude before to increase the air pressure and oxygen content in the cabin. Now, it was convenient for him to leave the plane without worrying about being detected by the radars of the two fighters.
In the stealth state, Chen Mo flew directly above the two ships and had a panoramic view of the two sides fighting. Soon, he discovered a situation that he had not seen before.
Not only were the two sides on the ship "fighting", but in front of the bow of The State of Sun's whaling ship, a small speedboat was constantly speeding back and forth, seemingly trying to stop the whaling ship from moving forward. However, the whaling ship did not seem to care about them at all and did not slow down at all. Moreover, on the bow of the ship, a crew member was operating a huge explosive whaling gun like an anti-aircraft machine gun and aiming at the sea in front of him.
Chen Mo immediately turned his gaze to the sea in front of the whaling ship. Soon, he saw a huge slender figure swimming quickly under the sea dozens of meters away.
It turned out that they had already discovered the whale and were preparing to launch an attack!
The explosive whaling gun on the bow of the whaling ship was specially made for whaling. It was very powerful and could insert the heavy whaling harpoon deep into the whale's body. Moreover, the harpoon was also equipped with explosives. Once it was shot, it would explode in the whale's body. The whale would be dead before it could be dragged onto the ship!
