What do you think the plot of the novel is like?

1. The Flying Reef: Since 1866, there has been a big strange incident. A huge monster was found in the ocean, like a flying reef, and many ships were cracked inexplicably. The public was adamant that the monster be removed from the ocean.

2. For and against: There are two main schools of thought on the monster, one of which sees it as a monster of immense strength, the other as a powerful "ship under the sea". I (Aronnax, professor at the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, France) believe that the monster was a "narwhal" of incredible strength. The U.S. Department of the Navy organized a fast destroyer named Abraham Lincoln. The U.S. Navy Department organized a fast destroyer, the Abraham Lincoln, to remove the "monster". I was invited to go along.

3. As you wish, sir: Without thinking, my servant, Conseil, said, "As you wish, sir". He went with me to the destroyer captained by Farragut. The destroyer lifted her sails and anchored from the Brooklyn dock and headed full speed for the Atlantic.

4. Ned. RAND: The captain and all the seamen were united in their determination to capture the narwhal. Only the Canadian whaler Ned Rand is aware of the narwhal's existence. Rand is skeptical about the existence of narwhals.

5. Welcoming the Adventure: The ship cruised through the Pacific Ocean. Everyone's eyes are wide open, straining to see the surface. Three months passed and the seamen became discouraged and began to doubt the significance of their search operation. After six months, the mariners asked to return to the ship. The captain of the ship promised a final search of three days, after which they would return if there were no results. At the end of the three-day period, Ned Rand, who had always been impassive, suddenly shouted. Rand suddenly shouted that he had found the monster.

6. Full Speed Ahead: The Lincoln attempts to capture the narwhal, but the narwhal plays hide-and-seek with the Lincoln as if nothing had happened. After a night and a day of chasing and maneuvering, by the next night, a standoff had developed. When the Lincoln charged the narwhal, the narwhal suddenly extinguished its light and sprayed the Lincoln with water. The Lincoln met its demise.

7. A whale whose species is unknown: I was thrown into the sea and stuck with Conseil in the sea. Just as I was about to sink to the bottom of the sea from exhaustion, I was pulled out of the water by Ned Rand, who was hiding on the back of a narwhal. Rand pulls him out of the water. Ned said the creature was not a whale, it was made of steel. That's when I decided it was a submarine. We were hanging on for dear life on the roof. At dawn, the lid lifted and eight burly men came out and dragged us into the boat.

8. A movement within a movement: the three of us were put into a dark room. After half an hour, there was a sudden flash of light and two men came in. We introduced ourselves in French, English, German and Latin, none of which responded. They left, the waiter brought food, we were full and went to sleep.
