MTL - Mermaid Effect-Chapter 14

In 1959, US nuclear submarines had been frequently operating under the Arctic ice – it was better able to confront the then giant Soviet Union.

However, at the time, everyone did not think that nuclear submarines, in addition to the shock of war, were able to take humans to areas they had never explored before. Under the Arctic's billion-year-old ice shell, a predator at the top of the bio-chain in ancient times was sleeping.

At the beginning, people just wondered that there were a lot of nuclear submarine accidents during this period - Americans thought they were Soviets, but after a while, the information collected from the Soviet side surprised the US side - the Soviets It is also believed that those accidents were done by Americans.

However, at the time the coordinates of the two submarines were separated by nearly a hundred kilometers.

Finally, the Americans finally discovered it - an extremely beautiful and extremely horrible creature.

It looks like a huge fish, of course, just a long view... there are five-toothed bones at the tail, two to four pairs of eyes on the head, and strong and powerful tentacles can be ejected in the mouth, making it easy to submarine The propeller is twisted and deformed.

It has a special, separate action system with special muscle structures that make it impossible for them to have a feeling of exhaustion. In addition, the hollow spines of the hollow structure interact with those muscles, making them unimaginable and flexible. The skin is composed of a multi-layered combination of chitin and calcareous material, which is far stronger than any material that humans can make at that time. The mucus secreted by the epidermis was initially judged to be highly toxic by humans. It was not until after years of research that people discovered that it was not a venom, but a very high concentration of viral aggregates, even the slightest scratches. Let its prey be infected, and the physiological tissue dissolves under the infection of a virulent virus. For the mucus of this organism, their viral polymer reaction is so strong that most normal people cannot determine its true composition. On the dark sea floor, their blue-green fluorescence is like a Christmas lantern for the celebration of death.

Well, as of here, it seems to be just an ordinary sea creature... but soon everyone noticed its singularity.

It looks like some kind of bony fish, but it has the regenerative properties of the cnidaria. It takes less than twenty-four hours to smash it in half, and two new fish will appear again in humans. In front of... At the same time, because of the hot weapon attacks they have received, they will evolve a harder outer shell with a thicker buffer layer on the inner layer.

A creature that regenerates and evolves in a very short time.

"...We call this thing 'original species'." Simon said to Ryan. "In 1972, the Soviets met a small settlement of 'Sai'. According to the original information at the time, about three, and that is Three of these things made it easy to break the K-19 nuclear submarine into pieces. The funny thing is that the Soviets have thought that it was an American submarine. By that time, the government began to train them as Biological weapons. After all, they are much more useful than monkeys carrying an anthrax virus bottle."

Speaking of this, Simon showed a malicious smile.

"They...not the same as before."

Ryan looked carefully at the information Simon had given him, and the muscles in his mouth were tight.

Simon’s gaze slid unconsciously from the other’s cheek.

"This is of course. At the time, too many people died to capture the native species, some of which even affected the military's military deployment in the Pacific Ocean. For a possible biological weapon, this sacrifice is too large. However, the government has proposed a compromise method. After the order was delivered, the submarines responsible for the fishing found that they no longer need to work hard to capture the * materials, and the body does not matter. Next, we finally let go of our hands and feet and used a lot of lethal weapons. I can imagine that it was a terrible blow, and an entire fleet was attacking. In this extreme case, an interesting thing happened - - The 'native species' that have almost been killed by torpedoes have completely turned into another kind of creature under attack, which is what you just saw, the human body, the tail of the fish. This is a special kind of them. Extreme state - the regeneration ability of lower creatures disappears, and the destructive power and attack power are geometrical growth, just like the violentization of boss ... "

When Ryan heard "violent", he once again revealed an indescribable sorrow, thanking God that Simon was not aware of it.

"And most importantly, in this situation their morphology is more similar to the types of creatures we know, I mean, they will become smarter... so in the end, our lovely scientists started to brain They are fixed in this state by various possible means. Thank God, and finally succeeded... The individual after success is called 'reformed species' - and the whole experiment is the 'Saibu plan'. ”

"The Serbian plan is still going on..."

“Yes, of course, it’s only the initial goal of stabilizing ‘primary species’ into ‘transformed species’, and then we found something else...”

Simon showed another picture in front of Ryan.

“Is it different?”

he asks.

That is a photo of a mermaid, but...

"The color of the scale... What is the special meaning of red?"

Ryan quickly caught the point.

“Yes, this is a 'red scale'. I said before that the native species can be split into different individuals... Later our research showed that virtually every so-called 'Serma' settlement was only at the very beginning. There is a subject, which is derived from the development of the embryo, and is more powerful than the split individual. The way to distinguish it is the color of the scale. The color of the differentiated body after division is a more dull blue-green color, which we call 'blue scales'. ”

Simon set the photos of "blue scales" and "red scales" into a side-by-side mode. This way makes the difference between the two more obvious.

The mermaid with red scales is actually much smaller, but its human characteristics are more obvious. Even through the photos, Ryan seems to be able to see the rich expressions and emotional features of his face, in a dim background. Next, its golden red tail is very eye-catching.

"'Bluescale' is completely subordinate to its 'red scales', the latter to the former is like the queen of the bee colony, of course, the difference is that the 'worker bees' here are split by the 'Queen'. The mermaid has no gender. The characteristics, but one thing that can be determined is that only the 'red scales' have reproductive ability, and the 'red scales' and 'red scales' will temporarily differentiate genders for mating in the case of sufficient food, and then breed new ones' Red scale '."

In the process of Simon's explanation, Ryan kept head down and digested the information on the computer that was belonging to the scorpion at an alarming rate. Soon he discovered the abnormality of the matter.

“The body of the material here is almost all the ‘blue scales’ you said, why?”

Simon made a long whistle.

"You found a blind spot, dear Watson."

After he finished, he couldn't help but laughed, and Ryan stared at him.

Simon can almost see the subtitles that roll from Ryan's face - "What the **** are you laughing at?"

"So I hate the elderly," he muttered. "Unfortunately, or fortunately, the 'red scale' directly mate... is an unusually rare situation. I think even the earth probably won't want to see it. To this kind of creatures multiply. Moreover, don't create illusions, the 'Sai''s individuals are actually very rare. As of now, even the original species we only captured seven, only one of which is red scale, and it It was only transformed into a modified species 16 years ago... It died of complications two days later. So far, we have not seen the native species of the blue scale. The Americans were so lucky that they directly got rid of it. The only and largest of the Arctic Ocean is the 'Serma' group. At present, all of our experimental individuals can only cultivate themselves. We have used a lot of data to make the measurement, and the conclusion is that the creature like 'Serma' is global. Individuals within the scope will not exceed three digits, and 'red scales' should be between ten and twenty. - Think about it, in the ocean of the whole earth, just a few 'red scales', their In case of no easy task, even more bred offspring is a small probability of things.
