"We definitely won't have you build submarines." General Wang laughed. "But I hope you can build anesthetic bombs."
"Anesthetic bombs?" Song He froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Add some chemical ingredients, fire them near the sea monster, and anesthetize it?"
"Exactly. Our current method of capture uses a strong electric current, but the results aren't good. If the current is too weak, it won't affect such a huge sea monster. If it's too strong, it'll kill it outright." General Wang nodded.
"We could also try high-strength capture nets and mechanical arms, but even if we increased the submarine's speed, its turning would still be clumsy. It would be very difficult to catch the sea monster directly at close range."
"So chemical ingredients are the optimal solution. Fire an anesthetic bomb, let it burst into an anesthetic mist, and quickly paralyze the sea monster. That way, we can calmly capture it alive." After explaining, General Wang looked seriously at the two of them. "Any difficulties?"
"Of course there are difficulties. Every species requires different anesthetic ingredients, and the sea monster may even have built-in resistance to toxins." Song He looked troubled. "Without experimental samples, we can only experiment based on other octopuses and try to develop a broad-spectrum anesthetic."
"Do the experimental samples have to be an entire living body?" General Wang asked. "Would severed limbs work?"
"We can give it a try. Something is better than nothing. They should be as fresh as possible. Ideally, they should still have living cells by the time they're delivered here!" Song He's eyes lit up.
"Good. I'll tell the Submarine Unit later and have them try to collect some sea monster tentacles." General Wang nodded. "Then it's settled. We'll get the tentacles, you'll make the anesthetic bombs, and we'll work together
