869. Dangerous Corpse
Lying on the beach was a blue whale, a terrifying big guy, now bigger and scarier, some of whom couldn't tell it was, and now it looked more like a sea monster.
The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. It is said to grow to forty meters long. Qin Shiou has never seen the longest blue whale. He has only seen twenty meters of it. When he saw it, he was shocked and was inspired to be the sea god.
That happened more than five months ago. Qin Shiou and Nelson met the big blue whale together, but later they didn't encounter such a big guy again.
Blue whales can be seen in Newfoundland fishing grounds, but they are not easily seen. This is related to their appetite.
Blue whales have larger mouths than train caves, but they cannot eat big fish. They can only eat Arctic shrimps and various soft cephalopods in the North Atlantic, so most of them survive in the southern hemisphere because Antarctic has rich krill resources, which is what can feed them.
This blue whale is bigger than the one that Qin Shiou saw last time, and is 27 or 8 meters long. Its body surface is an ugly rat gray, with light-colored fine marks on the back and white spots on the chest. These marks and spots are now supported very much.
If you don't look carefully, you can no longer tell the true appearance of this blue whale. Its whole body is very swollen, as if it is a big ball that blows to the extreme.
Originally, there were more than twenty huge folds on the blue whale, and its abdomen were covered with wrinkles, but now the wrinkles are gone, and the skin is as smooth as leather. A policeman raised his foot and kicked it, and the skin fell into it, and then it bulged.
Shaq shouted when he saw this scene: "Hi. Man, don't fucking us if you want to die! Stay away from it. Don't touch its body! And, fuck you damn smokers. Extinguish the smoke quickly!"
A police officer laughed and said, "Shake, my old guy, you are too serious. We don't disrespect the body of this blue whale..."
"Fake Squid, Davis! I don't care whether you respect this thing or not, leave it quickly! It will explode! It is now a time bomb!" Shaq roared.
The police were very sensitive to the word ‘bomb’. As soon as Shaq said this, they immediately stepped back a lot. Sheriff Roberts took off his cigarette and asked, “What does it mean. Time Bomb?”
Shaq sighed and said, "You idiots, I heard that the police are all college students, why don't you even know such simple common sense?"
Qin Shiou knew what Shake meant. Once the whale's corpse swelled, it was indeed more dangerous.
When whales are alive, they keep eating, and they store a lot of food in their stomachs at all times, mainly shrimp, crab, squid and crustaceans. These things will produce gases such as methane, hydrosulfide and ammonia after being digested by whales.
Therefore, whales have to float to the water surface to ventilate every once in a while, not only to inhale oxygen, but also to spray out these methane gases.
And before the whale dies, if it happens to discharge these combustible gases, then nothing is wrong, but if this gas is not discharged, it is dangerous.
After the whale dies, internal tissues and organs will be severely affected and bacteria will spread very quickly. In this way, the proteins in their bodies will decompose them to produce a lot of gases, which are mixed with combustible gases, which seriously increase the pressure on the abdomen and intestines.
Once it is not handled properly, it is an explosion!
A big whale that is 27 or 8 meters long. Of course, this blue whale must not be so big during its lifetime, at most twenty meters. Its body surface was expanded by gas after its death and had such a large volume.
But no matter what, once a big guy explodes, no one around him can survive.
Shaq and Qin Shiou explained this to the police. Roberts forced a smile and said, "Is this a bit alarmist? Can this thing explode?"
Qin Shiou immediately searched the Internet for several news about whale explosions to show him. The most recent one was that two years ago, a sperm whale body rushed to the beach of the Faroe Islands. A biologist conducted an on-site dissection, but it exploded. The biologist and his research team had no bones left!
"Look, the body of this sperm whale is only fourteen meters after it expands. You can measure how big this blue whale is by yourself." Qin Shiou said, pointing to the statistics after the news reports.
Roberts looked blankly for a while, turned around and shouted, "You little bitches raised by your mother! Get out of here! Pull the cordon and get out quickly! Fake, Romeo, are you still smoking? I order you to put it out within two seconds! Otherwise I will stuff the cigarette into your asshole!"
Qin Shiou looked at the corpse of the blue whale. It had already swelled up, like a big ball, and its body emitted a foul smell like a sewer. Nelson said that it was the smell of hydrogen sulfide. If it was a little thicker, a cigarette butt could ignite it and then cause an explosion!
The first whale body was discovered by a tour guide. He was investigated by Roberts and said that when he got up at 5:30 in the morning and came to the dock to check the cruise ship, he found the big whale being blown to the beach by the waves.
This big whale has been dead for a few days, probably in the deep sea. The sea breeze has been on the rise a few days ago, and its body inflated to the water surface and finally rushed to the shore.
The tour guide was also a little shocked now, and he said, "I don't know if it will explode, but it's farther away from it, guys, look, this was what I took in the morning, just two and a half hours, it has expanded a circle!"
Qin Shiou went up to look at the screen of his phone. There was a photo on it. The blue whale was smaller than now.
Seeing this scene, Roberts, Qin Shiou and others immediately drove away from the whale's corpse for a distance, which was 200 meters long.
After receiving the news, the town's acting mayor, Hani Rambo, reported to the St. Johns Fisheries Bureau that whales are not a trivial matter, and Canada does not allow hunting whales and sharks. It is necessary to investigate the dead whales, clarify the cause of death, and find the person responsible.
When people from the Fisheries Bureau learned that the blue whale corpse was swelling, they immediately reminded them not to watch or study it. Once the whale corpse is dangerous, they have to invite experts from Toronto or Ottawa to deal with it.
At this time, it was already lively around the dock. The first time tourists saw whales, especially the blue whales have become so big and so strange. Of course, not to mention tourists, residents have never seen such a scene.
So, by noon, four or five hundred people had gathered to watch the corpse of the blue whale, and the camera flash lights were even more lit up, which was almost blinding.
Qin Shiou found Roberts and said, "This won't work. Man, everyone is a little too close to each other. You ask your guys to pull the cordon a little further."
Roberts smiled and carried the belt on his beer belly, and said awkwardly: "This is too dangerous, Qin, you know we are all family members, we..."
"Fake! You are policemen!" Qin Shiou couldn't help but interrupt him. This guy was so useless. (To be continued...)
