Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

Old Yi gritted his teeth, "Alright... then wait for my news."

After Wang Ye communicated some other matters with the officers, he left the conference room.

Returning to the lab, he continued with the cultivation of the clones.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific Ocean.

Several countries had dispatched multiple nuclear submarines to the Mariana Trench area, starting to search for traces of the Megalodon. Amidst the roars of the nuclear submarines, countless small fish and shrimp swam around the ocean.

The detection equipment on the submarines mainly includes periscopes, radar, sonar, and radar warning receivers. Sonar is the primary detection tool for submarines when underwater, consisting of passive noise sonar and active echo sonar. Noise sonar can passively identify, track, locate, and measure the distance of vessels, while echo sonar can actively determine the target’s position, distance, and movement factors.

Most of the nuclear submarines were now using sonar to search for the Megalodon’s traces, although it seemed like looking for a needle in a haystack, given the Megalodon’s forty-meter length, its presence was quite significant on the seabed. Moreover, the deeper the Mariana Trench goes, the smaller the area, so as long as they dispatched enough nuclear submarines to cover a wide area, they would eventually find the Megalodon.

Numerous nuclear submarines gradually descended to a depth of about eight thousand meters, the depth where Wang Ye had encountered the Megalodon during his live broadcast.

The majority of submarines used mainly for military warfare operate at depths between 300-500 meters.

Only a few submarines, mainly used for exploration, can dive to thousands, even ten thousand meters deep.

But these submarines usually carry no weaponry.

Most weapons lose their effectiveness at such depths.

However, these nuclear submarines were different; they were urgently developed by top scientists from various countries to dive to depths of eight thousand meters and still possess some combat capabilities.

But their combat capabilities were not high. Due to reduced loading space, each submarine could only carry about five torpedoes, had only one torpedo tube, and moved very slowly, with a speed of just ten kilometers per hour, generating a lot of noise, which was almost the exact opposite of a submarine’s stealth.

But there was no choice, the capability to carry torpedoes to a depth of eight thousand meters was already the limit for submarines; they could not further improve performance on this basis.

Once at the eight-thousand-meter depth, the pilots of each nuclear submarine began to communicate with each other.

"What’s the situation on your side?" a nuclear submarine pilot said over the radio.

The other pilots of several nuclear submarines responded over the radio:

"We still haven’t found any trace of that beast."

"I’m really curious, is it really in these waters? What if it moved to another depth?"

"That’s not something we need to worry about. What we need to do now is finish sweeping this area. If we find the Megalodon, we’ll blast it and bring it back; if not, we’ll report back and search in deeper waters next time."

"But can the firepower we carry really defeat that Megalodon?"

"That thing is over forty meters long, even the largest Blue Whale isn’t that big, right?"

The pilots anxiously discussed while using sonar to search for signs of the Megalodon.

They didn’t want to throw their lives away like this.

In the past, during the live broadcast, they had witnessed the ferociousness of that Megalodon firsthand.

If that thing took a bite at them,

the shell of their submarine would probably be penetrated instantly, and sitting inside, they would undoubtedly die.

In other words, unless they defeated the Megalodon in one strike, they would die.

A moment later, a man who sounded like a captain said in a deep voice, "Don’t worry, no matter how strong that beast is, it can’t withstand ten torpedoes."

Torpedoes are powerful enough to destroy the underwater structure of a ship, a single hit could severely damage a destroyer, one or two hits could sink or heavily damage a ten-thousand-ton merchant vessel, and two or three hits could heavily damage or sink a ten-thousand-ton cruiser.

In their opinion, no matter how strong the Megalodon was, it was still a carbon-based lifeform. Even Wang Ye could fight it and win, so how strong could this Megalodon be?

Presumably, a single torpedo would severely injure it. Moreover, combining all the nuclear submarines, they carried more than dozens of torpedoes in total, making it seemingly easy to crush and kill the Megalodon with firepower.

The scientists and leaders must have considered these factors, which is why they dispatched these nuclear submarines to search for the Megalodon. They were too savvy to throw away valuable resources and personnel without absolute confidence. But what they didn’t know was that this Megalodon wasn’t like ordinary large creatures, cumbersome and vulnerable. Being immersed in the Extraterrestrial Crystal Cluster for a long time, it had evolved high-elastic muscle fibers that could easily withstand missile blasts, burst into supersonic speeds, and possess a bite force capable of shredding any metal. With the current level of human technology, unless nuclear weapons were used, it was absolutely impossible to kill this Megalodon.

"That being said, indeed, that Megalodon, no matter how strong, would lose its combat power under a barrage of numerous torpedoes."

"However, the higher-ups prefer that we capture it alive, so be mindful of that."

"No problem."

Just as the pilots were conversing.

Gurgle...

A massive, pitch-black creature slowly swam out of the corner. Its eyes were blood-red, and as it slightly opened its mouth, it bared its terrifyingly sharp teeth. Combined with its menacing muscles, it seemed capable of effortlessly tearing apart any creature or steel in the world. Upon closer observation, one would notice ripples around it, appearing as though they might vanish at any time. Clearly, this was the Megalodon these nuclear submarines were searching for.

Yet, the pilots in the nuclear submarines were completely unaware of the impending mortal danger creeping up behind them. Their detection equipment—sonar—did not register any signs of a large creature.

It’s essential to know that sonar works by emitting ultrasonic waves. When these waves encounter objects in the water, like schools of fish, they produce echoes. These echoes are received by the sonar equipment, and by calculating the time difference and intensity of the sound waves’ travel, it can determine the object’s position, size, and movement direction.

Therefore, practically any creature can be detected by sonar,

but the Megalodon is an exception, possessing a Primordial Qi Force Field similar to Wang Ye’s.

This high-pressure field can absorb the ultrasonic waves emitted by sonar, preventing the waves from bouncing back to the submarines, ensuring they cannot be detected.

The Megalodon, having locked onto a nuclear submarine, began slowly encircling it, searching for an opportunity to attack. This was its naturally developed hunting habit over tens of thousands of years. Whenever encountering a foreign creature or object, it would first circle around, observe for a while, and once it understood the other’s behavior, it would launch an attack.

When it previously fought Wang Ye, it did the same, but unfortunately, it encountered Wang Ye.

A few minutes later, the Megalodon finally found an opportunity to attack. It slightly opened its massive mouth, muscles beginning to tense,

BOOM!!!

In the next moment, it shot out like a cannonball, instantly covering hundreds of meters, biting into the midsection of the nuclear submarine.

Chish!!!

A sound of metal tearing followed.

Its sharp teeth easily tore the nuclear submarine in half. The reactor and circuitry inside were stimulated, resulting in a small explosion. The pilot inside the nuclear submarine didn’t even have time to react before perishing. But the explosion didn’t cause significant harm to the Megalodon, only grazing its outer skin, and the injury healed within seconds.

After shredding one submarine, the Megalodon didn’t pause and continued as a swift shadow, tearing apart a second submarine.

BOOM!! BOOM!!!!
