1120 Attraction at the genetic level
At the beginning of October, a 095 was slowly sailing from south to north along the west coast of South America.
The sonar soldier listened intently as usual, and suddenly a strange look appeared on his face: "Captain, there is a situation!" ”
The captain smacked his wit: "What's the situation?" ”
The search operation has lasted for more than ten days, and the speed of the alien battleship is calculated, and the alien can reach any corner of the earth, but until now, no alien warship has been found.
I haven't found it for so long, isn't it......
The sonar soldier said: "The terrain is not right! ”
The captain leaned in curiously, and was shocked to find that the screen was no longer familiar with the underwater landscape, but countless layers of roots.
The captain immediately decided: "Right full rudder, take a closer look!" ”
"Full rudder right!"
The submarine approached the coast, released unmanned reconnaissance equipment, and everyone finally saw the seabed with their own eyes.
At this time, the seabed was occupied by countless coarse milky white giant vines, each of which was thicker than a submarine.
Countless tender green tentacles grow on the vines, and the tentacles gently flutter with the current, like endless grasslands growing from the bottom of the sea.
Large and small fish and shrimp swim around the grassland and seem to be very adapted to the environment here.
Everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them, and everyone knew that the giant vine was definitely not an earth plant.
The captain immediately reported the situation to his superiors, and the news immediately detonated in the northern capital, and then detonated the whole world through the channels of the northern capital, causing a huge earthquake among the high-level leaders of various countries.
No one dared to ignore this situation, and the satellites located over South America gave up searching for alien warships and immediately turned their attention to the coast.
The remote sensing results were shocking, and the distribution range of giant vines was far beyond expectations, and due to the limited detection depth of satellites, the countries immediately ordered the fleets near South America to move towards the coast, asking the fleets to find out the details of the alien plants as quickly as possible.
The fleet, which was not near South America, was also ordered to immediately sail to the nearest land to check the seabed.
The results are not optimistic, with giant vines all over the coast of South America and also found in southern North America, and it is clear that giant vines are spreading northward.
Then came news from Africa, where the situation was even more serious than in South America, where a large number of giant vines were found on both sides of the Red Sea, around the Mediterranean Sea, and even in the Persian Gulf.
Soon after, giant vines were found in Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and various seas south of the equator, spreading faster than expected.
Although no one knows the specific purpose of the giant vine, the purpose of the aliens to spread the giant vine is definitely not simple, and countries have passed a resolution to eliminate the giant vine as quickly as possible, even if they use nuclear weapons.
The navies of various countries immediately took action, and at this time, although everyone shouted that unity was earth-shattering, when it came to the real thing, all of them took care of their own interests first, and the multinational fleets that had been crisscrossing the oceans not long ago went back to their own homes to find their own interests, and fell apart overnight.
The Northern Capital mobilized all the ships that could be mobilized, and divided all the ships into two parts, one part patrolling the sea and frontier day and night to supplement the lack of satellite remote sensing; The other part immediately went south and planned to assist countries in clearing the giant vines.
Since the giant vine has not yet been found in its own territorial waters, the pressure on the northern capital is not great, but the situation in the United States and Europe is different, and the giant vine has spread to the north, and the situation is urgent.
On the American side, the U.S. fleet directly used depth charges against the giant vines, and the explosion immediately destroyed more than a dozen giant vines - this alien plant is surprisingly fragile!
But then the Americans were dumbfounded, the broken alien plants actually attracted countless sea creatures, countless fish and shrimp were crowded, fish by fish, and fish squeezed fish, competing to eat the broken alien giant vines.
Looking down from the boat, the sea is full of splashes, as if this is not the sea, but a bath full of fish.
In the aftermath of the insect plague, terrestrial ecosystems were devastated, and most of the terrestrial life was wiped out.
Marine life has also been greatly affected, but marine life reproduces quickly, and the characteristic of puffing viruses is that the faster they multiply, the faster their body expands.
However, after the body size swells, the reproduction rate decreases due to the problem of the growth cycle. Giantization means a slowdown in the rate of evolution, which inhibits the puffing rate of marine organisms, creating a new balance between body size and fertility rate.
The marine ecosystem has been reshuffled at an extraordinary rate, but within a few years, a new ecosystem has been re-established and is thriving...... At present, most of the food of human beings comes from the ocean, and it is difficult to say whether human beings would be able to survive until today if it were not for the rapid recovery of marine ecology.
But marine creatures have their own way of living, and they usually don't interfere with anyone except predators, and no one thought that these big guys would actually gather together in order to grab giant vines...... What is the magic of the alien vine?
The fleet went to another place and immediately collected the fragments of the giant vine, which was found to be rich in nutrients and unusually attractive to creatures infected with the puffing virus.
This attraction is established at the genetic level, and even those who study the giant vine specimens are attracted to the giant vine and always want to swallow the giant vine specimen.
Human reason has no problem resisting temptation, but it is not the case with sea creatures that act purely on instinct, they are completely incapable of resisting giant vines.
In-depth research also found that the giant vine can not only arouse the appetite of the giant creatures, but also promote the reproduction of the giant creatures, and the giant vine is simply the perfect food for the giant creatures.
Thinking of the giant bug army under the control of aliens, no matter how stupid your brain is, you can guess the purpose of the aliens.
The ecology of Africa and South America has been completely destroyed by aliens, and if aliens are allowed to master the oceans, then there will be nothing to do with humans on Earth.
With the belief that it would be better to feed the fish than to leave it to the aliens, the fleet once again plunged into the operation of removing the giant vines, and countless sea creatures were competing for each other, which was even more lively than the carnival.
On the European side, the first to fire the first shot was the Italian navy, and the navies of other countries followed, and ships destroying giant vines could be seen everywhere along the Mediterranean coast, the Red Sea coast, and the North African coast.
Many distant-water fishing vessels are also involved in the sabotage, but they tend to be mainly fishing, and the destruction is only to attract fish, which is so inefficient that some even believe that it is not necessary to remove the giant vines, and that retaining them can contribute to the significant development of the marine ecosystem.
Of course, governments are very sensible and will never be dizzy because of the small profits in front of them.
But just when everything was going in a favorable direction, an unexpected news broke the world: the African swarm had crossed the Strait of Gibraltar!
