Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland
Chapter 698 The largest animal in history! The prototype of Kun?
A new sky appeared, and the picture showed a sparkling ocean.
It almost made the ancients think that it was the Mediterranean Sea again.
However, as the camera zooms out, you can see that this ocean is boundless and endless!
Its vastness is beyond imagination.
When the picture was stretched to its extreme, an icy continent appeared on the distant horizon.
The melodious sounds of animals were heard.
A creature of unusually large size appeared in the picture.
A 10-meter-high water column suddenly rose from the blue sea, and the silhouette of a blue whale emerged amid the roar of the subwoofer.
When the ancient people saw this huge marine creature rushing out of the seabed, they all exclaimed, "Is this the legendary Kunpeng?"
However, netizens now naturally know that the huge creature that appeared on the sky is a blue whale.
And the sound of the sky gradually sounded.
What is the largest creature that has ever appeared on Earth?
[Is it Tyrannosaurus? Argentinosaurus? ]
[Is it a giant squid? ]
[Is it a megalodon? ]
[Is it a mammoth? ]
[When it comes to the largest creatures, many people's first reaction is to think of those ancient beasts that have disappeared. ]
【But actually. 】
【The largest creature ever to walk the Earth.】
【It is not far from us. 】
【This is the largest creature. 】
[It’s the blue whale! ]
[As the largest animal in the history of the earth, the existence of the blue whale can be called a miracle of nature. ]
[The origin of blue whales can be traced back to the Paleocene epoch 5000 million years ago. ]
[At that time, their ancestor was not an ocean overlord, but a land mammal called "Pakicetus". ]
[It is only about the size of a wolfhound and lives in riverbanks in Pakistan.]
[These early whales retained the skeletal structure of their limbs.]
[Fossils show that their ear bone features are more similar to those of land animals, suggesting that they still rely on hearing to catch fish in shallow water.]
[As the ecological environment changed, the appearance of wandering whales about 4900 million years ago marked a key turning point in the history of evolution. ]
[This walking whale has the ability to crawl on land and swim in shallow waters, and its hind limbs are as thick as oars. ]
【Eyes move to the top of the head to observe underwater prey.】
[It's like a mix of a crocodile and a sea lion. ]
[By 4000 million years ago, Basilosaurus completely broke free from the constraints of land and its length exceeded 20 meters. ]
[Although it retained its degenerate hind limbs, it dominated the ancient Mediterranean with its streamlined body and became the first whale to fully adapt to marine life. ]
[The true evolutionary code that shaped the blue whale's body shape was hidden in the Ice Age 3000 million years ago.]
【As Antarctic krill grow explosively, fed by glacial meltwater. 】
[Transitional species such as crown-toothed whales evolved a unique sieve tooth structure.]
[The front teeth hunt fish, and the back teeth filter plankton]
[This dual-mode feeding paved the way for the birth of baleen whales.]
[Finally, 200 million years ago, the blue whale appeared as a harvester of the ocean, and with its efficient filter-feeding system, it pushed its size to the peak of life history.]
[The blue whale's body is a miracle of biomechanics.]
[An adult blue whale can reach 30 meters in length and weigh up to 200 tons! ]
[This is equivalent to the combined weight of more than 30 African elephants.]
[Its tongue alone weighs four tons, which is heavier than a small truck.]
[The heart of a blue whale is equally astonishing, weighing 180 kilograms and as big as a motorcycle.]
[Each beat can pump 220 liters of blood, and the diameter of the blood vessels is as thick as a human head]
[Each beat can pump out a large amount of blood, maintaining blood circulation throughout the body of this giant, ensuring that all organs in the body receive adequate nutrient supply.]
[To support the daily intake of 4 to 8 tons of krill. ]
[Blue whales have evolved throat folds that can expand to four times their original size. Together with the biological filter composed of baleen plates, they can swallow 4 tons of seawater in 10 seconds and filter out 90 kilograms of krill in an instant.]
[This sprint swallowing is called "the largest bioenergy event on Earth" by scientists]
[The low-frequency singing of a blue whale can reach 190 decibels.]
[It is equivalent to the roar of a rocket launch, but it is transmitted thousands of kilometers in the ocean in the form of infrasound]
[These complex sound pulses are more than just mating signals.]
[It is more likely to form a huge acoustic map to help them navigate and forage in the vast deep sea. ]
[Interestingly, the frequency of blue whale calls around the world has decreased by about 40 Hz per year over the past 1 years.]
[Scientists speculate that this may be related to collective vocal adaptation caused by ocean noise pollution.]
[Every summer, the Antarctic Ocean becomes a super dining hall for blue whales due to the abundance of krill. ]
[An adult blue whale swallows up to 360 million krill a day.]
[Equivalent to three full truckloads of biomass.]
[When winter comes, they migrate to the warm waters of the equator to mate.]
[The female whale gave birth to a 11-meter-long calf after an 7-month pregnancy. ]
[The fat content of blue whale milk during lactation is 10 times that of cow's milk, and the baby whale drinks 400 liters a day. ]
[Growing 60 grams per minute, creating a life growth record! 】
This is the end of the introduction to the sky curtain.
The main parameters of Blue Whale are listed.
I can only say that it is indeed very exaggerated, exaggerated to the extreme!
The ancient people were also shocked by the terrifying numbers of the blue whale.
Results of the battle.
Zhuangzi gazed at the sky, shocked by the size of the blue whale.
I also feel that I really like this huge and beautiful creature.
"Everyone says that the Kunpeng I drew is extremely fantastic. Today, I saw this blue whale and it actually has some similarities."
Zhuangzi spoke slowly, his voice calm yet somewhat carefree.
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun."
"Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is."
"This blue whale was born in the vast ocean. It is tens of meters long and weighs more than a hundred tons. Its heart is like a carriage and its blood vessels are like rivers."
“Perhaps the blue whale is actually the prototype of Kun?” “Kunpeng spreads its wings and soars up to a height of ninety thousand miles, and it takes six months to rest.”
"The blue whale swims, dives in the deep sea, and sails on the blue waves. It is as free and easy as Kunpeng!"
The sky continues.
[The whole body of a whale is a treasure, and the blue whale is no exception. 】
[This has also made humans covet this creature, resulting in the blue whale being hunted brutally in the past. ]
[The blue whale's blubber is a thick layer of warmth, up to half a meter thick.]
[An adult blue whale can produce 50 tons of blubber.]
[In the early days, humans hunted blue whales in large numbers and extracted whale blubber for lighting. ]
[Whale blubber burns brightly and lasts long, providing an important raw material for the lighting industry at the time. ]
[This liquid gold is not only used as lighting fuel, but is also made into soap, lubricating oil and even explosives. ]
【Its fine texture and good lubrication properties. 】
【It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, textile and other industries. 】
[The special caramel aroma wafting from the refinery once filled every street corner in London and New York]
[The more than 300 black baleen plates in the blue whale's mouth are like fine combs and are precision filtering devices made of keratin. ]
[Each piece of baleen can be several meters long and is tough and elastic.]
[After humans discovered the toughness and plasticity of whalebone, they used it to make supporting bones for women's corsets, umbrella frames, and even piano keys because of its flexible and lightweight properties.]
[The whalebone bustle that was popular among Parisian ladies in the 19th century. ]
【Let countless blue whales become fashion sacrifices. 】
[Blue whale meat has also been hunted and eaten in large numbers by humans.]
[During World War II, Japan canned blue whale meat to supply the army. A single whale could provide the protein needs of 2000 people for the whole year.]
[Glue extracted from whale bones is used as aircraft adhesive. ]
[The vitamin content of whale liver is 100 times that of beef liver and is made into battlefield first aid medicine]
[In the 20th century, with the crazy development of commercial whaling, the blue whale population was on the verge of extinction. ]
[According to statistics, during the heyday of the whaling industry, tens of thousands of blue whales were killed every year.]
[The huge population that once swam freely in the ocean has been reduced to the brink of extinction. ]
[The blue whale population has dropped from 25 to less than 5000.]
[Blue whales are becoming increasingly rare in the ocean. The once stunning sight of their huge mouths swallowing the ocean and their tail fins breaking through the waves has almost become a memory.]
[Fortunately, after the international whaling ban was enacted in 1966, the species has recovered at a slow rate of 7% per year.]
【Today, the grand scene of hundreds of whales swimming together has reappeared in the Antarctic waters. 】
[An acoustic monitoring network is guarding their deep-sea corridors 24 hours a day.]
The sky video ends.
Barrages of comments also flew out one after another.
《What a huge, beautiful creature with minimalist lines! 》
《The Spirits of the Planet, the Miracle of Life! 》
"Elegant! So elegant! The blue whale is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen."
"If there were no humans to hunt you, you would live a carefree life and travel freely around the world!"
"Killer whales specialize in killing blue whales!"
"Don't try to trick me. Blue whales are faster than killer whales and can dive deeper than killer whales."
"The 75 killer whales also took turns to hold down an underage blue whale, preventing it from breathing and suffocating it to death."
"Isn't this Kun so big that it can't be stewed in one pot?"
"Stop hunting such beautiful creatures!"
"Japan is still a beast, it's still hunting whales!"
The Japanese claim that the whales they hunt account for less than 1% of the population, so they will not cause the extinction of blue whales and other whales.
"Don't forget Britain and Norway. They were the ones who nearly killed blue whales to extinction."
Why are they everywhere?
"Ah? Aren't the British very gentlemanly, and the Japanese very polite?"
"It's just a small courtesy but no great righteousness."
……
And outside the sky.
When Cao Cao first saw the huge blue whale in the sky, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh:
"Haha, there are such strange things in this world, it really opens my eyes!"
"It's a pity that the last time I went to Jieshi to view the vast ocean, there were no blue whales to join in the fun."
It can be said that Cao Cao really appreciated the appearance of the blue whale.
Later, I saw that Britain, Norway, and Japan were killing blue whales, and many blue whales were slaughtered bloodily.
Boss Cao's face gradually became gloomy.
"Humph, what a bunch of barbarians and evil beasts!"
"If people's lives were difficult and they were starving, it would be justifiable for you to kill whales."
"But later generations have become so developed."
“A global agreement has been signed to protect whales.”
"But the Japanese still hunt and kill people indiscriminately. They are really a cruel and barbaric group that cannot be educated!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly.
"It's Britain again, and it's Japan again!"
“Why are they always involved when something bad happens?”
"Look at the blue whale in the sky. It is indeed beautiful and has a great temperament."
"It would be nice to transport such creatures to the capital for viewing."
"If I were to capture a blue whale, I wouldn't even have time to protect it, so how could I bear to kill it!"
And the same happened in the Ming Dynasty.
Qi Jiguang was not surprised at all and remained unusually stable.
Just said it calmly.
"Is it strange? This is what Japanese pirates are like."
"Greedy and cruel, cunning and unfaithful."
"Why do netizens in later generations still have unrealistic fantasies about the Japanese pirates?" (End of this chapter)
