Golden Fishery

"Has the research on that black carapace yielded results?" Qin Shiou asked hastily.

Sanders shook his head and said, "No, it's something else. Why do you want me to study that kind of carapace?"

Qin Shiou explained: "I participated in an event in Amsterdam some time ago. At that time, a company showed their research results in this area, which may be epoch-making, so I hope you will also study hard."

Sanders became interested and asked: "Epoch-making? But I searched on the Internet and books, and I didn't see much information related to this kind of carapace. The only thing related is a marine reptile that appeared in Sino-Singapore era, and became extinct in the Pliocene."

The Miocene and Pliocene are two periods of the Earth's Cenozoic Era. The former is five to eight million years ago, and the latter is about two million years ago.

Qin Shiou didn't know the years of geology. He touched his nose and didn't continue to talk about this topic. He just wanted to wait for the old professor to come up with the analysis results.

He and the old professor still don't know what this reptile, which is thought to be extinct for millions of years, represents behind it.

Mr. Ross’s fishing ground has newly built a circle of colored steel tiled houses. This is a laboratory for Sanders. The equipment in it was brought by him himself, ranging from petri dishes to centrifuges.

One room in the laboratory is a dark room with no windows, and a fan is used for ventilation, because some experiments must be carried out in a dark environment.

The old professor took him into a black room. After turning off the lights, the room was completely dark, and fluorescent lights of various colors radiated from the darkness, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. Some are emitted by instruments, some are fluorescent markers, and some are emitted by living things.

Fluorescence suddenly lit up around him, and Qin Shiou was a little surprised for a moment: "Hey, Professor. Your laboratory is really beautiful!"

Sanders said with a smile: "If you like, you can come in often, but it's not good to stay in there for a long time. Most of these fluorescent lights are chemical fluorescent lights, which have slight radiation and are harmful to the human body."

There are fluorescent powder marks on the ground. Therefore, although there is no light, it is not difficult to walk.

Just joking, the old professor took him to a test bench, and then pulled out a black cloth, which covered the large fish tank. When the black pull opened, a magnificent species appeared in front of Qin Shiou.

These are a few jellyfish, exuding light blue fluorescence. The reason why they are called magnificent species is that the fluorescent light on the jellyfish is not strips, but dots. The fluorescent brightness on these dots is different, so as the jellyfish swings its body,

A little squirm. Blink like a little blue star!

Qin Shiou had never seen such a jellyfish before. He lay down in front of the fish tank, looked at these little creatures in surprise, and said, "Professor, this is your newly discovered species... Oh, no, this is the blue sail jellyfish?!"

After seeing the appearance of the jellyfish, he recognized their identities. After all, he has been in contact with these little things in the past few days, and now the production line is still roasting batches of dried jellyfish from time to time.

Sanders nodded and said, "Yes, this is the blue sail jellyfish."

"Then you inserted fluorescent genes into them?" Qin Shiou stood up and asked, "Ha. They are very beautiful little creatures, very suitable for ornamental jellyfish. Isn't it?"

Sanders shook his head and said: "No, I didn't insert fluorescent genes into them. When I found them, they looked like this. Obviously, this is a genetic mutation!"

Qin Shiou was amazed: "Where did you find them? This genetic mutation is so wonderful that it has created such a beautiful species! We should go to the sea to find them. If they form a new species, they will definitely be able to survive in the sea." There is an uproar in the world!"

Fluorescent jellyfish are not uncommon, and this species exists in sea areas such as Japan, China, and the Philippines. The scientific name of this species is nocturnal jellyfish, and they have a strong ability to emit light due to the photoprotease in their gonads.

But this kind of noctilucent jellyfish is different from them. The luminous frequency of noctilucent jellyfish is the same, that is, one part is glowing, while the noctilucent jellyfish has luminescent cells all over the body, and the luminescent proteases are scattered. Mottled, more beautiful!

Sanders covered the fish tank with a black cloth, turned on the light and said, "I found them last night in the seawater purification pond. I was surprised at the time, thinking that the fishing ground had been invaded by nocturnal jellyfish, but after research, As you can see, I was even more surprised!"

Qin Shiou put the four sea god consciousness into the water. He has been monitoring the movement of jellyfish in the sea these days, but he didn't find the existence of this kind of luminous sail jellyfish.

Saunders continued: "Now I don't think that this jellyfish has mutated into a new species, but that they are small group mutations, the reason is unknown, and follow-up research is still needed."

"These mutated new individuals are very sensitive to light. Even incandescent lamps can burn them, so they are destined to only live in the deep sea and at night."

The four sea god consciousnesses are darting through the water quickly, and they will still encounter some jellyfish one after another, and the number is not much. After these days of targeted salvage, the disaster of jellyfish in the fishing ground has been avoided.

Poseidon's consciousness has traveled through a large area of ​​the sea, and has not encountered this kind of luminous sail jellyfish. According to Sanders, after he went to the vicinity of the Dungeness crab farm, he saw fluorescent flashes on the bottom of the sea, and a group of sail jellyfish lived here.

Because of the daytime, the sea area near the farm is near the sea, the sea water is very clear, and the sunlight can directly penetrate the sea water. These noctilucent sail jellyfish cannot survive in this kind of place.

Sail jellyfish have no brains, but they have strong instincts. These small things either hide in the shadow of coral reefs, or move to deep water, and some follow the big fish, moving with the help of the waves caused by the swimming of the big fish. in their shadows.

Qin Shiou infused these luminous sail jellyfish with Poseidon's energy. These things are so beautiful, he wants to try whether he can train them to survive in the offshore waters, so that at night, the seaside of the fishing ground will shine with stars, which must be too beautiful to behold!

There are only such a few sail jellyfish, and he is not afraid of causing disasters to the fishing ground. There are thousands of leatherback turtles, which are specially designed to restrain the existence of these jellyfish.

After Qin Shiou watched the distribution of the noctilucent sail jellyfish, he guessed: "Professor, could there be some connection between the noctilucent sail jellyfish and the Dungeness crab? You said that the noctilucent sail jellyfish found lived around the purified waters, right?" ? And that’s where Dungeness Crabs live.”

The sail jellyfish is a tropical indicator species, while the Dungeness crab is a creature in the frigid zone. Under natural circumstances, the two sides cannot meet. Now that they meet, some strange chemical reactions may indeed occur.

Sanders said: "I also have this guess, and follow-up research will be in this direction. Now, I want to keep this species, but I don't know if it is allowed." (To be continued)
