Chapter 132 Fishing for Water Monsters

Deng Jiaying was speechless for a moment.

"You're right, so we borrowed sonar detection equipment from the Marine Science Academy."

Professional sonar detectors can detect large organisms at the bottom of a lake or ocean and construct a rough outline of the seabed organisms through reflected echoes.

To a certain extent, professional instruments can make up for Su Ran's lack of detection capabilities.

"You came just in time. Now I am just worried about how to deal with the water monster."

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. If Su Ran wants to uncover the true identity of the water monster and restore peace to Shuangtou Village and a dozen nearby villages, he must first find out what the water monster is.

If it is some kind of large terrestrial creature, then use the same methods to deal with terrestrial creatures; if it is an aquatic fish, then use the same methods to deal with fish; if it is really a primitive creature that has never been discovered by humans...

Draining the lake is not a solution.

The next day, when the villagers of Shuangtou Village learned that Su Ran was going to catch the water monster for them, many people gathered outside the door early in the morning.

When Su Ran opened the door and saw so many villagers standing outside, he wondered if he had seen it wrong. He closed the door again and opened it again. Yes... there were still so many people.

"Um... Good morning, everyone."

Maybe Mantou and Dahei stole someone's chicken, and the villagers came to settle the score with them? But it was impossible for the two little guys to do such a thing.

Chen Sisi hid quietly behind the door. She always felt like she was caught cheating and was blocked outside the door.

Qin Wangyuan, on the other hand, was at ease, taking his water cup and toothbrush and running to the yard to get some water. Su Ran always felt that Old Qin had seen bigger scenes than this.

"Brother Su Ran, you have resolutely helped us catch the water monster this time, and we all want to see you off. We in Shuangtou Village really have no way to repay your kindness to us, so we want to raise some money to build a statue for you after this matter is over."

Dang Shancheng said sincerely, from Su Ran helping the herdsmen drive away the wolves, to this time expelling the water monster, which one was not for the benefit of the whole village?
There is a saying that goes, if you care about the people, the people will naturally lift you up.

"There's no need for the statue, and we haven't even started working on it yet." Su Ran has the confidence to fight the water monster, but he can't say anything for sure.

"Brother Su, I'll go with you." Zhang Dapeng volunteered. He felt that he should be able to help Su Ran by then.

"OK."

Soon, surrounded by villagers, Su Ran, Deng Jiaying and other staff members drove the equipment vehicle to the plain.

Because the water monster has attracted much attention from the outside world, many people came to the scene to witness the shocking scene. After all, Chinese people love to watch the excitement. For this reason, the local police specially dispatched police to the scene to maintain order and set up a cordon to separate the crowd from the scene by 300 meters.

Although the distance is far, they can be present at the scene in person and want to see it more clearly. The only CCTV reporters who are allowed to enter have become the way for these people to watch.

"Hello, I'm CCTV reporter Wang Bingbing. Director Su, are you available for an interview?" Even though the national goddess now knew Director Su's name, Su Ran was a little surprised.

Looking back, Su Ran, like everyone else, could only watch Wang Bingbing’s reports through the screen. Unexpectedly, today, the protagonist on TV is right in front of him.

"We are debugging the equipment now, and will use sonar to detect the monster at the bottom of the lake later."

Deng Jiaying answered first, and then she dropped the debugged equipment into the bottom of the lake and got in the car.

Su Ran followed, followed by CCTV reporter Wang Bingbing. Chen Sisi was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so she didn't dare to let Su Ran be alone with the two girls.

The small rear compartment was filled with various devices and screens. Four people were squeezed in the small space, and the air was filled with different aromas.

The netizens in the CCTV live broadcast room were so envious that their eyes were bloodshot.

"Hate, why wasn't I the man in the car?"

"Ahhh, three beautiful ladies, God Su is so lucky."

"If Wang Bingbing is willing to be my wife, I am willing to live with Sister Sisi."

"You are dreaming. As long as I can marry Sister Sisi and drive a nice car and live in a villa, I will be willing to do it." "The two brothers in front are really dreaming. Get out of my way today and let me wake them up."

"No, Brother Su, where did you bang your elbow?"

……

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was cheerful and the people in the carriage were on high alert.

The sonar detection equipment dropped into the bottom of the lake began to work and began to search for underwater creatures around it.

"The sound waves have been transmitted. If there are obvious changes in the waveform on the screen, it means that a larger creature has been detected."

Deng Jiaying explained the working principle of the instrument to the three people.

"Is it like now?" Su Ran pointed at the ripples on the monitoring screen that were obviously changing rapidly.

Deng Jiaying quickly imported the ripples into the analysis device, and a large biological silhouette began to form on the originally blank screen.

"Through echo analysis, it was found to be an aquatic fish three meters long."

Three meters long?

After hearing this data, not only the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned, but even Deng Jiaying herself was a little puzzled by what she had just said. Not to mention how shocked Wang Bingbing and Chen Sisi were.

Instead, the three girls looked at Su Ran, only to find that he was quite indifferent.

"According to the conversion, the fish can be up to three meters long and weigh at least sixty kilograms."

After the dark clouds parted and the bright moon appeared, Su Ran finally had some clues.

"What kind of fish can grow so big? Is there something wrong with the instrument?" Wang Bingbing couldn't help but look at Deng Jiaying and asked.

Deng Jiaying shook her head. "This instrument is worth more than two million. There's no way it could go wrong. Besides, the model built based on the ripples transmitted by the echo is very clear. This huge creature has a dorsal fin and a tail fin. It's obviously a fish."

"Su Ran," Chen Sisi suddenly called softly, "Do you know what kind of fish this is?"

"I think that's it."

Who?
Su Ran drove everyone to the downstream national wetland park. A large number of rare freshwater fish naturally bred in this lake.

After communicating with the staff, Su Ran was allowed to catch fish samples in the lake.

So he took Dahei and searched around the wetland park, and finally found the freshwater fish he was looking for on the shore.

The resting freshwater fish was completely unaware that it was being watched. When Su Ran saw it, he rushed over, and the freshwater fish tried to run away but was already firmly caught in his hand.

"The Taimen is a large cold-water freshwater fish. It is found in major rivers in Northeast my country. It is a carnivorous fish that preys on fish and frogs, snakes, rodents, waterfowl, etc. that live in water. It matures in 5 years, and the longest lifespan is 83 years."

After listening to Su Ran's brief introduction, Wang Bingbing signaled the photographer to point the camera at the freshwater fish in his hand.

"...Brother Su, so you mean the monster at the bottom of the lake is this salmon that's not even as long as your arm?"

Wang Bingbing glanced at the barrage in her hand and relayed this sentence to him.

Su Ran looked relaxed and said in a very firm tone, "That's right. Don't forget what I said just now. As a carnivorous fish with a lifespan of more than 80 years, Taimen can even grow to more than ten meters long if it doesn't encounter any natural enemies."

As a wildlife expert, although Deng Jiaying did not know much about fish, she had heard industry insiders talk about the fact that Taimen salmon can grow to unimaginable lengths.

Deng Jiaying looked at him expectantly: "So, Su Ran, what are you going to do next?"

"What else can we do?" Su Ran laughed out loud, "Of course, go fishing!"

　Tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be a day, ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
