Analyzing the Deep Sea Abyssal Devourer

After leaving the ice cap area, the Pansy floated to the surface, towing Albacore.

The crew of the Albacore opened the hatch, crawled out, and breathed in the fresh air.

Medical team members flew over and began examining and treating each patient one by one.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious.

Xiwo flew to the deck of the Pansy.

"The Albacore is unable to launch another attack for the time being."

"I'll say this in a deep voice, "Xiwo said.

I wasn't talking about the ship.

"I know you can fix the submarine."

"But these crew members will need some time to rebuild their mental state."

Su Ming nodded.

Long-duration submersible voyages in darkness, confinement, and insurmountable danger.

In my ear, I heard an alarm indicating a equipment malfunction.

Outside the cabin were deep-sea walls that could crush a person into a pulp.

The work at hand cannot be stopped.

This pressure is not something we can't handle.

But it will take time to digest.

"I will arrange for the crew of the Albacore crew to do some work on shore for a while, so they can recover," Su Ming said.

"It's good that you know."

Instead of going into the cabin, everyone decided to start their discussion on the deck.

The Zijin stretched lazily in the cold wind.

"A phenomenal life."

She let out a long sigh.

"Charybdis certainly deserves that title."

"He himself is a part of nature."

With the help of remote communication, Chloe on the other side of the Spinel Port also joined the meeting.

"----Wow, you guys have accomplished a huge amount of work in just one day!"

Looking at everyone, she couldn't help but sigh.

Then Chloe pulled out a stack of ancient scrolls.

"I am responsible for this."

"There are indeed eyewitness accounts and written records regarding Charybdis."

She found a book, flipped through it, and began to read aloud the ancient text, "When the water level drops, there is no wind."

"Because it's not the sea that's moving."

"Something at the ends of the earth parted its crimson lips slightly."

"When she is still, she is like the tranquil seabed."

"Once it starts moving, the whole world seems to be crushed."

"Occasionally, large swarms of krill can be seen gathering, being sucked into the murky area in front of that dark shadow."

"The tears will become crystal clear."

"This is the goddess of the sea, who has opened her eyes to the sky."

After reading it aloud, Chloe spread her hands.

"I'm so sorry, I mistook these records for sentimental, melodramatic poems."

Her tone carried a hint of self-pity.

"----I really didn't expect that this kind of thing could be considered documentary literature!"

Beianqi asked curiously, "What kind of book is this?"

Chloe flipped back to the cover and glanced at it.

"In the North Sea lives a flat, sea monster called ' The Fish Bigger Than the Sun.'"

Upon hearing the book's title, everyone fell silent.

Chloe coughed lightly.

"What's wrong? When this ancient book was written, long titles were all the rage."

Zijin continued, "In short, it's a disaster-level, filter feeder, mainly feeding on krill and plankton."

"Judging from the way those sleeper sharks fled for their lives," Xiwo added.

"Charybdis, you wouldn't mind having a big bite if you wanted to."

Su Ming chimed in, "With that mouth of his, let alone a marine creature like a whale."

"Pansy could be swallowed whole!"

Chloe continued to peruse the ancient records and introduced them to everyone.

"Based on these scattered records, Charybdis, in terms of its overall habits, belongs to the cold-blooded type of life."

"It consumes very little energy."

"They rarely patrol," spending most of their time entrenched in their positions.

"Moreover, His dormancy period is often measured in decades or even centuries."

"As for this period of high activity, it usually lasts for about six months."

Su Ming frowned.

This is clearly not good news.

Soon, the North Pole will enter the polar night.

There is no sunlight for 26 hours a day.

The following winter brought not only extreme cold but also strong winds.

This is extremely dangerous for outdoor operations involved in satellite launches.

"So, we can't wait for Him to leave on His own?" Su Ming asked.

Chloe analyzed, "Based on the 'blue tide' phenomenon over Feimaina, Charybdis stayed in that sea area for a full thirty years."

They ate that place until it was cleaner than a licked-clean plate.

"The reason it moved here is probably because He emptied out that other place."

"I was so hungry I had to move."

Su Ming sighed upon hearing this.

"Looks like he's a homebody too."

It was a rare feat that Su Ming managed to thwart the destructive actions of the Plundering Clock.

Unexpectedly, Charybdis came over on his own.

He hadn't encountered such bad luck in a long time since he arrived in this other world.

When they do touch something, it's usually at an overwhelming level!

****

Chloe made a rough estimate.

"Judging by the food reserves here in the Arctic Ocean, it should be enough for Charybdis for at least ten years."

Beianqi was the first to suggest a solution. "Why don't we take a more conservative approach and bypass Him?"

There's more than one route to the North Pole.

It's simply a matter of going one or two thousand kilometers west, crossing the other side of the North Pole.

But Su Ming shook his head and rejected the idea.

"This plan is not safe."

"The entire Arctic Ocean is interconnected beneath the surface."

"Charybdis is currently active, and no one can guarantee that He won't wander to the North Pole."

"And one"

He paused.

"Our torpedoes, at most, only managed to scratch it a few times."

"But who knows, maybe he'll end up like that Miss Dragon—"

"Holding a grudge."

Chloe couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zijin raised her foot and stomped hard on Su Ming.

He snorted.

Even the Quail couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He quickly bent down and unfolded a notebook.

"Chairman, speaking of torpedoes, I have some bad news to report."

"Our torpedoes failed to make contact with it at all."

The data from the sonar feedback was analyzed frame by frame.

The Quail observed that even when those torpedoes maneuvered and changed course...

It was still about thirty meters away from Charybdis's body.

All of them exploded prematurely.

"No wonder so few fragments were produced," Su Ming sighed.

Although he hadn't originally expected to take down the guy with ordinary torpedoes.

But if you can't even touch it, the problem becomes serious.

"We need to analyze this guy's specific defense mechanisms first," Su Ming said.

Zijin glanced at him with some surprise.

"You've still decided to fight?"

"We must fight!" Su Ming said resolutely.

Xiwo raised his hand.

"The Albacore was above us at the time, with all its detection equipment running."

"A full-body scan was performed on Charybdis."

"The footage from the process has also been preserved."

"Beautiful!" Su Ming immediately praised.

"Immediately begin research and analyze the structure of Charybdis," he said to everyone.

"And there are also possible defense mechanisms!"

"Okay!" everyone responded.

****

Later, the Pansy returned to Spinel Port.

Su Ming was extremely sleepy, so he went to take a nap.

When he woke up, he found everyone gathered in the conference room.

Everyone was gathered around Charybdis's data and information, engrossed in analysis.

"President."

The Quail projects a 3D model onto the screen.

It was a flat, strip-shaped outline drawn by countless lines.

Its overall shape resembles an extremely long, giant ruler.

The quail enlarged the model.

As can be seen, Charybdis has no tail, but rather two heads with identical structures.

One is on one side.

The body between the two heads is roughly divided into forty-seven segments.

These data are a synthesis of all detection data, especially the information recorded when the Albacore flew by at close range.

This was obtained by repeatedly summarizing and processing data using the computing power of the Electricity-Swallowing Beast.

"Its outer layer is over ten meters thick on average, and its material hardness is close to that of rock."

As he spoke, the quail enlarged the model.

"You can't see inside."

"However, since it is a filter-feeding life form, it most likely has large cavities inside its body, along with corresponding digestive organs."

"What about your body temperature?" Su Ming asked.

"The temperature is exactly the same as that of the mid-level seawater, 0.9 degrees Celsius."

"However, during the chase, their body temperature rose to a maximum of 5.7 degrees Celsius."

"After stopping, it slowly fell back down."

"A typical cold-blooded animal," Su Ming said, stroking his chin.

"The temperature of the upper seawater is -1.7 degrees Celsius, right?"

"Yes, close to the freezing point of seawater," the Quail replied.

"I wonder what will happen if Charybdis drops to this temperature," Su Ming thought, his mind wandering.

"It's certainly possible to slow down the movements and enter a state similar to hibernation," Chloe said.

"Can they just freeze to death?" Su Ming pressed.

Chloe shook her head.

"Don't get your hopes up; it's unlikely."

"Most normal cold-blooded animals can withstand temperatures as low as minus ten degrees Celsius."

"Some species can even withstand temperatures as low as minus twenty degrees Celsius."

Su Ming had no choice but to abandon his plan to freeze Charybdis to death.

"And what about His extraordinary abilities?" he continued to ask.

"He can generate a high-intensity water flow to sever near his body surface," Zijin replied.

"There are no signs of spellcasting."

"This is a very typical example of natural spellcasting by a living being."

"From an energy density perspective alone, it's indeed not very good."

Zijin spoke, she looked up at the enormous model on the screen.

"But with this size and scale, its power is by no means small."

"In other words, we can't get too close to the Pansy," Su Ming said.

"Absolutely!"

"These are just the eddies on the surface of the skin."

The scene changes to Zijin.

When Charybdis caught up to the Pansy and came closest, there were abnormal fluctuations in the water flow.

However, the Pansy escaped using supercavitation.

"It is speculated that He has the ability to spew, but the range is only five kilometers," said Zijin.

****

Taya is extremely busy.

The Earth Support Team was also busy.

They immediately shifted their focus to nuclear weapons.

After all, Charybdis is just a "wild" target, so there's no need to worry about the "Tranquility" spell of the Plundering Clock causing the nuclear chain reaction to fail.

But after several rounds of calculations, a sigh of helplessness still rippled through the conference room.

There are no shortcuts to uranium-235 purification.

It can only measure the scale of the stack, the separation work of the stack, and the energy of the stack.
