Qiu Hezheng explained to Zhao Xu: "Once, when I was on my way back, the hull of the boat suddenly shook violently. At that time, I knew that I must have encountered something strange. I immediately turned the boat around and got away from here. A big octopus,

The tentacles can be nearly seven or eight meters long, and they are constantly attacking our hull."

"The attack power of that big octopus was so powerful that it almost dragged our boat to the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, we used a bomb to injure the octopus and we were able to escape."

"A big octopus with tentacles seven or eight meters long?" Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Is there really such a big octopus?"

"Not only that, but the largest octopus discovered so far has tentacles that are ten meters long. According to some marine experts, the largest octopus's tentacles should be fifteen meters long, but this is just a guess. So you can't imagine encountering something like this.

How terrifying would it be to have such a large prehistoric beast?"

"In addition to the giant octopus, are there other sea monsters?"

"Yes! One of our crew members was once attacked by a piranha."

"No way!" Zhao Xu said with a look of shock on his face: "Isn't piranha a freshwater species? How can there be one in the sea?"

"You didn't know this! There was a kind of piranha in prehistoric times, which was about one meter long. Although they couldn't fly, they had very strong jumping ability. They could jump up to the captain and attack humans. However, according to the data, this kind of piranha was

The prehistoric deep-sea piranha has long been extinct, but we did encounter it. The crew member was bitten on the arm, and we killed the dead piranha. By the way, I still have the specimen of the deep-sea piranha.

At home." Qiu Hezheng described vividly.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he said to Qiu Hezheng: "Captain Qiu, can you take me to your home for a while?"

"Okay!" Qiu Hezheng nodded. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Xu: "Boss Zhao, you have to promise me not to disclose this matter to the public. Once other people know about it, or people in the museum know about it, they will definitely keep me here."

This specimen was taken away."

"Don't worry! I won't disclose this matter to anyone."

The two talked a lot.

At Qiu Hezheng, Zhao Xu heard many new things. He was refreshed and full of yearning for this trip to the deep sea.

The most mysterious place in the world is definitely the deep sea.

The entire ocean accounts for more than 70% of the earth, and the land area is only more than 20%.

There are rich resources in the deep sea, and countries are competing to exploit them.

Qiu Hezheng said to Zhao Xu: "Boss Zhao, have you ever heard of the maritime restricted area?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said he had never heard of it.

Qiu Hezheng explained: "The restricted area in the sea is the most mysterious area in the sea. Each ocean has restricted areas of different sizes. Therefore, when we sail, we must deliberately avoid these restricted areas to have a relatively safe route.

.Some special restricted areas in the sea will emit special light. Therefore, you must be wary of the light in the sea. Currently, various countries are studying these restricted areas in the sea, but few countries have made substantial progress. I hope your friends,

It’s best not to enter the restricted sea area by mistake.”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he felt bad.

He believed what Qiu Hezheng said.

Even on land, there are extremely dangerous places. Therefore, it is natural to understand the "sea restricted area".

In front of the sea, human beings are really too small.

In this trip to the deep sea, even if he cannot find the "Dragon Pill", Zhao Xu must find Xu Lingzhu. She cannot be allowed to go into danger alone.

After the two of them finished eating, Qiu Hezheng took Zhao Xu home.

Move the TV cabinet away, and a hidden compartment appears.

Behind the hidden compartment, I saw a display cabinet made of glass.

Inside is the deep-sea piranha that is more than one meter long.

According to Zhao Xu's visual inspection, this piranha is at least one meter and two meters long. Unlike freshwater piranhas, it has a slender body and has sharp teeth.

Qiu Hezheng said to Zhao Xu: "I have already made a will. If one day I am gone, I will ask my family to donate this piranha specimen to the country. But while I am alive, this is my lifelong voyage."

A symbol of the world. When you gaze at it every day, you will be reminded of the ups and downs of maritime navigation over the past forty years."

Zhao Xu could understand Qiu Hezheng's mood.

He said to Qiu Hezheng: "Captain Qiu, why haven't you seen your family?"

"Oh! My wife died early. I only have a son and a daughter. My children are living well now and they won't let me go to sea anymore. I plan to do one last job and leave some money for them."

Qiu Hezheng had the same idea as Old Man Bai.

They are all willing to go to sea for the sake of their children. Otherwise, at their age, they should be enjoying the happiness of family at home, but they are willing to go to sea and take risks for the sake of their children.

Zhao Xu said "Oh!", changed the subject and asked: "Then when will we set off?"

Qiu Hezheng asked Zhao Xu: "Boss Zhao, have you rented the boat?"

"I've asked someone to ask, and I won't know the result until tomorrow."

"I checked the recent weather forecast, and the weather is suitable for going to sea. It doesn't matter if I'm alone. Please inform the crew to arrange things at home. We'll set off in three days!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xu nodded.

After Qiu Hezheng closed the cabinet again, he chatted with Zhao Xu for a long time.

By the time Zhao Xu returned to the hotel, it was already late at night.

The next day, Zhao Xu followed Qiu Hezheng's request and ordered the necessary items on the list. He also notified the crew to transport these items back to Conch Village when they reported to "Conch Village".

Only then did we return to "Conch Village" first.

After coming back, the first thing Zhao Xu had to do was go to the home of "Boss Cheng" of the B&B and ask how the boat rental was going.

Boss Cheng told Zhao Xu that the boat has been rented. However, the price is more expensive, and the cost of going to sea is two million. If the boat is damaged, compensation must be based on the price. Including the risk deposit, it will cost at least three million.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Okay!"

Boss Cheng asked Zhao Xu, "Did Bai Nan agree?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "He hasn't agreed yet. However, I went to the city to recruit some experienced seamen. They are qualified for this deep-sea journey."

"This method works!"

Boss Cheng said to Zhao Xu: "Boss Zhao, then I will take you to go through the procedures for renting a boat."

Zhao Xu said "Hmm!" and followed Boss Cheng from the B&B to a home that looked very wealthy.

Today’s fishing villages are no better than they were in the past.

Not only is the seafood selling well, but it has also started a vacation and tourism business. Therefore, every household’s economic conditions are doing well.

Accompanied by the owner of the B&B Cheng, Zhao Xu first took a look at the boat.

This is a small to medium-sized fishing boat with all the fishing equipment on board.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied after seeing it.

Later, I met with the ship owner.

After signing the lease contract with the other party, I transferred three million to the account number left by the other party.
Chapter completed!
