Master of Thermodynamics

The white spot is clearly some kind of marine life.

In terms of scale, the number that Renault sees alone may not be less than 3,000, and the total number of the island is likely to exceed 10,000.

How come so many animals suddenly appeared?

Where do they come from?

But didn't Elon said that Boot Island is a relatively desolate island. Except for birds, there are almost no other animals on the island?

Thinking of this, Renault has a definite answer.

This must be the creatures that migrated from other places after entering the storm season. Most of them gather here for only one purpose-reproduction.

Just like the penguins or some seabirds on the earth, they will gather from all directions to the breeding ground during the breeding season, starting a carnival of love and desire.

Only after the turbulence appeared in the sea, the alien turtles on the Hai Tide Islands stayed at home and did not go out anymore, so I didn't know that there was such a phenomenon at the door of the house.

Several sailors on the Haichao also noticed this scene, and they greeted other people to come out to watch. The deck quickly became lively. Seeing something strange to watch, no one cared about the biting cold wind anymore.

Elon also came out of the captain's room. He climbed to the top of the aft deck, held binoculars to observe for a moment, and walked straight to Renault.

This kind of binoculars is also a portable equipment specially equipped by Renault for the navigation department, and it is also a by-product of Renault's development of optical rangefinder.

It has a magnification of 10 times. The lenses and prisms are all ultra-high-precision parts manufactured by [Nian Power]. The light transmittance is more than 90%. The image quality is very good, and there is very little stray light. Is a very good telescope, the price easily exceeds 10,000 oceans.

"Your lord, the creatures on the Boot Island seem to be ice seals..." When Elon said his discovery, his face was obviously shocked.

"Ice seal?" Reynolds immediately became interested when he heard that there were also seals in the other world.

Elon noticed the look of Lord Lord, and told all the information he knew in an interesting manner.

"Ice seals are a kind of creatures that live in the northern permafrost. They are completely shrouded in darkness for half a year each year. In the coldest winter, even fire-type transcendents dare not enter the snowy field. Only a few kinds of creatures can. Living there, the ice seal is one of them..."

What Elon calls the "permafrost snowfield" is the Arctic region in another world.

"It is said that ice seals tend to operate as a family unit, whether hunting or sleeping. They generally do not approach human ships easily, but their tempers are not very good. If there is a ship near the ice seal group, they will also fight back……"

"I heard that adult ice seals have a kind of natural ice ability, which can easily freeze enemies. When ice seals use their abilities together, they can instantly freeze a 20-meter-long sailboat..."

"Many people believe that there are at least 100 Extraordinary-class ice seals in the sea near the permafrost. According to rumors, there are even more powerful Warcraft-class ice seals, and there is more than one..."

"I originally thought that ice seals would only appear in the permafrost. The Boot Island is more than 1,000 nautical miles away from the permafrost. I didn't expect that there would be so many ice seals here..."

Finally, Elon concluded with one sentence.

"It seems that humans know too little about ice seals..."

Renault couldn't help but curl his lips.

The alien turtles don't know "too little" about ice seals, but very little.

In what Elon said just now, except for the first sentence, the whole story is "said", "heard", "according to rumors" and so on. Are you sure you are not teasing me?

The ghost knows how many truths and fallacies are in these rumors.

In this world, you can't expect to have any serious biology experts.

Because the alien world is so dangerous. The kind of academic experts on the earth die faster than anyone in the wild. They can only add food to the beasts and want to conduct biological research in the alien world. At least he is an extraordinary person.

But transcendents are enough to be famous, so why go to the wild to make a few waves? What if you encounter a monster that can easily squeeze the extraordinary to death?

Elon can know so much information, which is already very good. These "supposed" and "heard" are the proof of his extensive knowledge, and it is not an exaggeration to be called "a polymath".

If placed on the earth, a person like Elon would be a qualified "netizen" at best.

Isn't the netizen just a species that is busy talking about hearsay every day? It's not much different from Elon.

On the contrary, Renault, based on limited information, inferred more things.

The reason why the ice seals come to Boot Island, in addition to participating in the carnival, most of them have the purpose of coming here to spend the winter.

Because the Arctic is in the coldest period at this time, many fish either dive into the deep sea or migrate away, which is the period when food is scarce.

The water temperature of the Boot Island is relatively high, and the food is relatively rich. The mother seal is easier to prey here, and can also accumulate more nutrients during pregnancy, so that the baby seal in the belly will develop more robustly.

When the storm season is about to end and the temperature rises, they will return to the permafrost, which coincides with the time of human sailing. This is why Elon has no knowledge of the existence of ice seals on Boot Island.

Renault is also sure that the baby seals will be born in the first rainy month and the hot month of the coming year, because that is the period when the Arctic sea has the highest temperature and the most fish.

More food means that hunting is easier, the baby seals can also get more food, and the survival rate is greatly improved.

Renault asked: "Have anyone ever counted how many ice seals there are in the permafrost snowfield?"

Elon pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "There are no relevant statistics, but I estimate that it will definitely not be less than 1 million."

Renault nodded and turned to look at the Boot Island. At this time, Hai Chao was turning, preparing to bypass the island and drive to the south side of the island. The strong sea breeze and the inertia of the huge hull made the hull slightly tilted by a small amount. angle.

In his opinion, "1 million" is just a very conservative number. The oceans of other worlds are so rich, not to mention 1 million ice seals, 5 million can still be raised.

Therefore, there will only be more ice seals in the permafrost snowfields, and the number of Extraordinary ice seals will definitely exceed 100.

There are almost 10,000 ice seals on this island right now. Will there be Extraordinary ice seals?

Renault was moved.

Because every transcendent creature means a pill for perfection.

And every time an extraordinary creature is hunted, it means one step closer to the sixth page.

Although he knows that compared with ordinary ice seals, the Extraordinary ice seal is already another species, and its living habits will definitely be very different from ordinary ice seals, but he still wants to try to search for Extraordinary ice seals.

Renault stared at the small black spot that was squirming in the distance, and suddenly dropped a sentence: "I'll go to the island first. You go directly to the southern fjord. Don't land on the island for the time being, and don't disturb the ice seals..."

Then he carried a speargun, soaring into the sky, and flew towards the island of boots.

Renault believes that no matter how awesome and extraordinary creatures are, they can't stand up to a "spear gun", and a speargun is completely enough.

With his ultra-fast flight speed, the distance of 3 or 4 kilometers was almost instantaneous. After approaching more than 200 meters of the rocky beach, he saw the appearance of an ice seal.

According to alien traditions, ice seals are also larger than their terrestrial counterparts.

Seals on the earth, such as harbor seals, have a body length of only 2 meters, but ice seals can easily break through 5 meters, which is longer than a BMW 5 series, and there are also large ones with a length of 6 or 7 meters.

In terms of appearance, ice seals have two most notable characteristics.

First, they are fat.

When they use their stubby limbs to crawl awkwardly on the reef, their body's fat is shaking like waves, and even the thick skin covered with white fluff can't cover the waves of flesh. From a distance, there is a bunch of white flowers and fat. The meat is rolling, and it looks ridiculous.

At first glance, they know that the fat content in their bodies is surprisingly high, and only in this way can they withstand the terrible extreme low temperature.

Second, their body surface is covered with wonderful ice patterns.

Whether it is on the limbs or the spindle-shaped body, there are a large number of light blue ice patterns. The larger the size of the ice seal, the denser the ice patterns on the body.

It is worth noting that the patterns that make up the ice patterns are quite strange and have some mysterious laws. Obviously, the patterns are not only decorations, but also have a certain relationship with their ice talents.

These ice seals are in groups of 6 or 7, scattered scattered on the rocky beach. In each group of ice seals, there must be an ice seal that is extraordinarily large, and the rest of the ice seals are smaller.

Reynolds guessed that the larger ice seals should be males, while the others are females. That is to say, the ice seals, like their counterparts on Earth, are also polygamous creatures, and the stronger the ice seals, the more powerful they are. The more female seals there are.

When he was passing by at high speed on the island, he saw the largest seal group with more than 15 seals. The male ice seals in it were 8 meters long, which was a mountain of fat.

Seeing Renault flying above, the seal group suddenly became commotion, the ice seals roared one after another, and the low roar of "ah oh ah oh" spread far away, and some male ice seals even tried to chase him.

However, their body structure is more suitable for swimming. On land, they are the short legs of the short legs. They are not even qualified to eat ashes behind Renault.

This also shows that in the mating season, all male ice seals have turned into grumpy brothers, and any creatures will be attacked mercilessly as long as they approach their territory.

However, it is not the uninvited guest Renault that really makes them so aggressive, but other males.

Renault clearly noticed that there were many solitary ice seals walking around the seal group, staring at the female "leopards", always preparing to win love with a sword.

In order to guard against hateful competitors, the male seals only chased a few meters before returning to the seal group.

After realizing this, a smile appeared on his face.

It seems that even if the extraordinary ice seals are not found, they can still pick up a lot of corpses.
