Golden Fishing Village

PS: There was a problem with the author's backend before. I have already published chapter 1322, but it seems to have been swallowed. I have been waiting for a few minutes, but it has not been refreshed. I can only re-publish it. In case it is released later, please understand that it is not a repeated update to deceive. ****

Now in order to take care of Eve, a piece of Ambergris Lake has been fenced off, almost isolating the giant softshell turtle.

Ao Muyang didn't want to raise it, it was a waste of time and effort. He encouraged Yan Yinghao to bring the giant softshell turtle here in order to use the golden drop to save its life. After all, there are only two giant softshell turtles alive in the country.

Seeing him walk away with his hands behind his back, Chen Xin was a little anxious. He waved and said, "Director Ao, don't leave in a hurry. Let's talk, talk carefully. This is a giant softshell turtle. How many places want to raise it..."

"Then whoever wants to raise it can raise it."

Chen Xin said, "Are you really not tempted? There are only two giant softshell turtles in the country."

Ao Muyang pointed at himself and said, "Then there is only one old Ao in the country."

Chen Xin thought for a while and said, "The main thing is that you have no protection value."

Ao Muyang walked faster, almost jogging all the way.

The marine biologist who came to the village this time was called Shen Zhifu. He was very famous and came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

His image was different from Li Ji. Li Ji usually dressed like an old man on the streets and didn't care about his clothes. Professor Shen paid great attention to his image. He wore a Zhongshan suit, his silver-white hair was combed meticulously, and he might have put hair oil on his head. The most important thing was that he wore sunglasses very fashionably even in the house.

Li Ji introduced the two people. When Ao Muyang shook hands with him, he smelled a faint fragrance: the old man also used men's perfume.

The other party's attitude towards life made Lao Ao feel ashamed. Seeing how exquisite and refined others live, he, a young man, was just a sloppy pig boy in comparison.

Shen Zhifu has many titles. He is not only a marine biology expert of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also a member of the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He also has some other titles, such as he is a member of the National People's Congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

The two shook hands. Shen Zhifu pointed to his sunglasses and said, "Mr. Ao, let me explain first. I don't take off my sunglasses not because I am arrogant and don't know etiquette, but because I am old and have eye problems. For me, even the light in the room is too dazzling above my head at noon."

Hearing what he said, Ao Muyang felt more comfortable and felt that he was respected, so he quickly said politely that it was okay.

Li Ji mediated, and the three of them exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business: "Xiao Ao, Teacher Shen is looking for you this time because he needs your help. Please help with a fishing activity in Hongyang Bay. They need a batch of sea hares, blue-spotted sea hares."

Ao Muyang immediately asked, "Is it for sea powder?"

Sea hares are sea slugs. They are not rabbits, but a kind of snail. They belong to shellfish that live in shallow waters. They are named because of the two pairs of tentacles on their heads that protrude like rabbit ears.

This kind of marine life has something in common with echinoderms such as sea urchins, that is, there are many species, more than 3,000 species, and the distribution range covers the world's waters, from the tropics around the equator to the North and South Poles.

There must be sea hares in Hongyang Bay. Ao Muyang caught them before. When he sent Lu Zhizi that aquarium, he put several marine life in it, including sea hares.

Speaking of which, the aquarium has been moved to his building, and Lu Zhizi is still looking after the aquatic creatures inside. He put a few sea slugs in it at that time, and now they have multiplied into a small race.

Sea slugs are hermaphroditic creatures, which means that they have two reproductive holes, male and female, but this does not mean that they can produce and sell themselves. They still need a mate, but they don’t need a mate of a specified gender.

After listening to Ao Muyang’s words, Shen Zhifu asked with interest: "Yes, Mr. Ao, it seems that you know a lot about sea slugs."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Know a little bit."

The blue-spotted back-anal sea slugs produced by Hongyang are a very precious species among sea slugs, because the egg bands they produce are called sea powder, which is a very precious Chinese medicinal material, especially effective in tumor treatment.

Shen Zhifu came for the sea powder, but it is very difficult to catch the blue-spotted back-anal sea slugs, because they feed on various seaweeds and have a very special ability to avoid enemies, that is, they turn into the color of the seaweed they eat.

If they eat red algae, their bodies will be rose red, and if they eat brown-green fucus, their bodies will be brown-green.

In this case, they are particularly good at hiding, and it is difficult to catch them, and it is even more difficult to catch them on a large scale.

Ao Muyang told Shen Zhifu about the situation. Shen Zhifu took out a paper fan from somewhere, opened it and fanned it.

He laughed twice in a very stylish way and said, "We don't need to catch them on a large scale, just a part of them, because we don't want to catch sea slugs for raw materials, but want to get a batch of sea powder for research."

Ao Muyang's heart moved, and he said, "How many do you need? If you need less, I may be able to help."

Shen Zhifu smiled in surprise and said, "Do you know where there are sea slugs? We don't need many, just about two hundred will be enough."

Two hundred is indeed not much, but Ao Muyang doesn't have that many. Sea slugs lay a lot of eggs, but few hatch, because their eggs are connected into a line, and almost every kind of fish can eat them.

Ao Muyang smacked his lips and said, "Then we have to go to the sea and look carefully. This is not easy. Since you need sea powder, you should come here in the first two months. They usually lay eggs in February and March and September and October, right?"

Shen Zhifu raised his fan and patted his palm, saying, "That's right, but isn't it more difficult to collect sea powder directly? We want them to complete their reproduction in the spring before fishing, and then collect sea powder in the autumn through artificial breeding."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "Teacher Shen's intention is good, but it is easy to catch sea slugs some time before spawning. They will mate continuously when they mate. If it is at other times, they will hide in the seaweed."

What he said is related to the mating habits of sea slugs. If only two sea slugs meet, the male organ of one sea slug will mate with the female organ of the other sea slug. After a period of time, they will exchange organs and mate again.

Yes, they are each other's sweethearts, and the mating process is very fair...

In addition, this situation is not common. Usually, there are always dozens of sea hares gathered together. When two sea hares start to mate, other sea hares will also join in the fun:

The female sea hare at the front is used to mating with the male vagina of the second sea hare, and the female vagina of the second sea hare mates with the male vagina of the third sea hare, and so on. If there are enough sea hares, they will eventually form a ring. As the saying goes, the face is born in the ring, and the rings are scratched.

This is one of the spectacular scenes in the ocean. Because sea hares eat different colors of seaweed, they will become different colors. So if there are several rings together at this time, they may overlap under the impact of the water flow, just like the five Olympic rings.

Recalling this spectacular scene in the ocean, Lao Ao felt strangely exciting.
