Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 460
460 Terrifying Undersea Creatures
Controlled nuclear fusion could greatly improve the level of a planet’s civilization.
Once it appeared, the human world would undergo a world-shaking transformation.
Wu Mo also thought of something even more complex than controllable nuclear fusion.
Strictly speaking, this was not an invention, but a substance that existed in the universe.
No one could really restore it, and it was said that the world’s top scientists had only developed 0.01 grams of it in a top laboratory abroad!
!!
This substance was extremely terrifying. If it was truly restored in the present world, it would likely bring a destructive blow to the world.
All of a sudden, there was a call from inside the base. The heads of various departments and several high-ranking officers walked solemnly to the conference room.
Wu Mo did not receive the notification, so he was puzzled and clueless about the situation.
Recently, the base had been holding similar meetings frequently, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
“Chief Engineer Wu, the observation period for the second batch of soldiers who received the gene strengthening drug has ended. All the physical test data has been released, and one of them requires your personal review.”
Xu Wanqing came to the Institute of Special Biology with the documents in her hand to find Wu Mo and ask for instructions.
Wu Mo nodded and examined the soldier’s physical data.
“Oh? It has amplified his strength by ten times. It has exceeded our expectations greatly!”
Wu Mo was surprised to find that after this soldier had taken the gene strengthening drug, his body’s various indicators had increased by more than ten times! Under normal circumstances, three times the strength was already beyond his expectations.
What did ten times indicate?
Wu Mo noticed that during the fist strength test, the soldier had delivered a punch with all his strength, and its force had reached an astonishing 1,500 kilograms.
He could kill a tiger or a wild bull with a single punch.
He was a real-life version of Superman! Wu Mo sighed internally. This was the amazing effect of the gene strengthening drug.
While they had achieved a major breakthrough with the gene strengthening drug, Wu Mo was still looking forward to more gains.
He was now focusing on the popularity of the Life First potion.
“The Life First drug has been approved by our higher-ups, and it can be used on a large scale.
“Currently, the number of people who have agreed to undergo the Life First drug test has reached three hundred!” Xu Wanqing told Mo Wu.
The reason why Life First could achieve such a breakthrough was inseparable from its scientific nature and sustainable development.
After the birth of Life First, Life Second would also be born.
Wu Mo predicted that Life First’s plan had reached a mature stage. Soon, the dream of adding another 60 years would no longer remain a dream.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.
Apart from Wu Mo, the rest of the R&D Department did not attend.
The people in the conference room were senior officers and heads of various departments. They had one thing in common: They had worked in the Maritime Department or directly managed the Maritime Agency.
“Everyone, I believe you are aware of the importance of this photo. This was taken during the military exercise on the southeast coast the day before yesterday. According to the location’s information, it might be at thirty-six degrees north latitude and seventy-eight degrees east longitude. It’s twenty nautical miles away from the site of the military exercise.”
The analyst was holding the remote control, and the image on the projector was gradually enlarged.
Thanks to the military’s camera, the photo remained clear even after it was magnified dozens of times.
Everyone saw a golden head on the projector. Its huge body was half exposed above the seawater, and its bean-like eyes emitted a dark green light.
Its inverted triangular mouth looked familiar.
“So this unknown creature swallowed the tentacles? What kind of creature is it?”
Everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.
The analyst continued,” According to the photographer and witnesses, this golden-headed creature quietly observed the military exercise from ten nautical miles away before it disappeared into the sea. They sent out a cruiser to search the area but found nothing.”
Many speculations emerged in everyone’s minds.
“Hmph! A cruiser can explore a range of eight hundred meters below sea, yet it can’t find this unknown creature. It’s obvious that the creature lives at least a thousand meters below the surface of the sea,” a mighty officer slowly said.
“It’s obviously below a kilometer. This guy swallowed a few giant beasts the last time. This time, I estimate that it’ll dive thousands or even tens of thousands of meters deep,” another officer replied.
The old chief patted the table with both hands and said in a serious tone, “Everyone! This is not a science fiction movie, but a living creature. We have to take it seriously! There’s a huge and mysterious creature lurking in our waters. It will likely continue to cause trouble for fishing boats and warships. We have to solve this problem as soon as possible!”
The old chief’s heavy words made everyone present feel downcast.
They had thought of many ways to capture this unknown creature, but they had failed.
Besides, what kind of creature did those huge tentacles belong to?
Could there be such a huge octopus in the sea besides the Giant Sable Squid?
“If only Chief Engineer Wu’s Deep Sea Eye is already developed. With that device, we can observe the movements at the bottom of the sea at any time and find the creature.”
One of the officers was deep in thought.
The old chief nodded and instructed his assistant, “Invite Wu Mo over!”
The meeting was not opened to the members of the R&D Department. All of them were directly under the management of the first-tier organizations.
However, since the Deep Sea Eye was mentioned, Wu Mo was inevitably invited.
When Wu Mo arrived at the meeting room, the first thing he noticed was a shocking photo on the projector.
“Oh, what kind of creature is this?”
Wu Mo noticed that the creature had an inverted triangular mouth, and its eyes were like huge green beans, which shone with green light.
It looked like a toy, not like any animal that actually existed!
Furthermore, the creature’s head was covered in golden scales, and the part that was exposed above the water looked like a glowing head.
In the end, the analyst explained the origin of the mysterious photo and the scene to Wu Mo. Then, everyone held their breath and waited in hopes that Wu Mo would give them some good news about the Deep Sea Eye.
Wu Mo had already checked on the progress of the Deep Sea Eye’s development before leaving his dormitory. It was already more than 90% complete and was expected to be ready in the next two days.
He confidently said, “I estimate that the Deep Sea Eye will be able to enter the field in two days. This is a critical time. I hope that the Maritime Agency will increase its supervision over the next two days.”
Hearing Wu Mo’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.
The mysterious sea area had to be strictly controlled. Otherwise, if a similar sea disaster occurred again, the problem would be even more serious.
One could call the first occurrence an accident and be understanding about it.
One could also explain the second occurrence as a result of neglect, or the unknown creature being too secretive and difficult to guard against.
However, if there was a third occurrence, the nature of the situation would be completely different!
Not only would it be difficult for the old chief to explain himself, but it would also be difficult for everyone present to absolve themselves of the blame.
Therefore, this was everyone’s responsibility, and no one could escape it.
Although developing the Deep Sea Eye was a losing business, Wu Mo knew that not everything was about monetary profit.
Facing the two tragedies that had already claimed dozens of lives, Wu Mo was determined to find the mysterious creature with golden scales and reveal its true face.
Finally, the Deep Sea Eye was successfully born.
When the fifteen-meter-long, oval-shaped device that resembled a giant eyeball was slowly revealed, all the officers present were shocked!
“Heavens, is this the Deep Sea Eye? Isn’t this just a huge depth sensor?”
