Chapter 706: Whale Stranding
"Love β Γ· Storyβ" provides you with wonderful novels to read.
Before Wei Hang could finish speaking, the group of people couldn't help but cheer.
I can't help it! With such a big school in their village, I don't have to worry about having no chance to make a fortune in the future.
"Don't be too happy just yet, building a high school is not a trivial matter, and it is not something that can be built in a short period of time. I estimate that it will take at least half a year to prepare. After all, in addition to construction, the most important thing is to manage talents, teachers, etc. Wei Hang said to them.
"Haha! We can wait, no hurry, no hurry!"
said that they were not in a hurry, but Wei Hang knew very well that they were the most anxious.
A group of people couldn't bear the joy, they were very lucky, at that time, a village of people was determined to follow Tangjia Village and merge into Tangjia Village.
Look at Dingcai Village, now those people don't know how much they regret it, they can only watch the other villages that have been merged into it eat meat. It is said that there are young people in their village who smashed the window glass of their clan elder in the middle of the night.
It can be seen that the villagers have a lot of complaints about this. If it weren't for the fact that the other party is a clan elder and has a detached identity, he might have to come to the door to quarrel or even beat someone.
As they chatted, there was a sudden buzz outside.
The old village chief went out to take a look, and found that many people were swarming towards the beach.
"What's going on?" he asked, stopping one of his own villagers.
The villager was a little excited: "On the other side of the beach, there is a big fish stranded, more than 10 or 20 meters long! I heard that it is a whale." The scientists at the Biological Research Center have all gone, and now they are organizing people to push the whales out into the sea!"
"Whale stranding?" a group of village committee members stared wide-eyed.
This kind of thing, even if they have lived by the sea for decades, is extremely rare. After all, whales are rarely found in shallow waters. There were two blue whales outside, which were brought back by Weihang.
Every day, there are tourists who go out on a boat to watch and bring a lot of seafood to feed them. However, the appetite of whales is not ordinarily large, and even if a hundred or dozens of people pool money to buy a meal for two whales, it is very painful.
"Let's go, let's see!" the old village chief led everyone towards the beach.
When they arrived at the beach, Wei Hang found that Professor Yu and they were also there, and they were organizing the tourists present, as well as the villagers and others, to help carry the huge whale back to the surface.
"How did you get to the beach? It's a sperm whale. Wei Hang asked.
Sperm whales are easily recognizable, and the most obvious feature is the huge fish head.
Compared to the body, the sperm whale's head appears disproportionately heavy and large, with the largest brain in the animal kingdom, while the tail appears light and small, which makes the sperm whale's body resemble a large tadpole. The head of an adult male whale is particularly prominent, usually accounting for four to one-third of the total length of the body, and is roughly square in appearance.
Unlike most other fish, it breathes through its lungs and belongs to sea beasts, not sea fish.
Upon observation, the sperm whale has a dark grey to dark skin on its back, which appears tan in bright sunlight. Abdomen is silvery-gray and whitish. The upper lip and lower jaw are white near the tongue. There are usually irregular white patches on the flanks.
Weihang knows more about this huge sea beast, belongs to the social creatures, often by a small number of male whales and large groups of female whales, young whales form dozens of more than one, or even two or three hundred large groups, every year because of reproduction and foraging for the north and south migration, its swimming speed is very fast, up to more than ten nautical miles per hour, and sperm whales have excellent diving ability.
Because sperm whales dive for a long time, there is little chance of seeing them on the surface, but their special shape and jets make them not easy to confuse with other large cetaceans. Between dives, sperm whales float or swim slowly at the surface of the sea, resembling giant driftwood in appearance.
Interestingly, sperm whales float on the surface of the water to sleep, sleep very deeply, and often float on the surface of the water for several hours. When the ship is suspended and drifting at sea, it is common to find large whales sleeping quietly next to the ship.
Weihang's fleet has encountered such a situation two or three times, which amazed the crew.
Professor Yu shook his head: "I don't know, this sperm whale is like crazy, it broke in from the outside, and then hit this beach headlong." β
Now, they researchers, are investigating, by the way, to check the physical condition of sperm whales.
Hearing this, Wei Hang had a guess. It is very likely that it is the aura emanating from Tangjia Village that attracts it.
In a moment of excitement, he crashed into the beach, causing this stranding.
Those who observe carefully will notice that the sea area of Fisherman's Bay is becoming more and more abundant in marine life. Even biologists don't get a good explanation for the time being.
They believe it may be related to the sudden bloom of seaweed in this area of Fisherman's Bay.
Seaweed, as a relatively low-end organism in the ocean, is the "feed" of most marine fish, and the more things you eat, the more you will naturally attract more creatures to come, and gradually form a virtuous circle.
The world's famous fishing grounds are formed in this way.
They predict that in a few years, the area around Fisherman's Bay will form another famous natural fishing ground on the edge of the South China Sea.
As for why this is the case, they do not have an answer yet, and it is still being studied. It's a pity that they will never investigate the results, and the reason lies with Weihang.
"It's an adult sperm whale that looks pretty well fed. Professor Yu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sperm whale opened its mouth and spit out a large piece of meat.
When everyone saw it, it was a huge squid tentacle. Many tourists keep taking pictures, and it feels very fresh.
Everyone also knows that the favorite food of sperm whales is squid, especially the king squid, which is simply their favorite.
A villager standing in front of the sperm whale's mouth suffered, and the sperm whale opened its mouth wide and not only spit out a large piece of meat, but then spewed out a huge vomit that washed the guy out.
"Vomit!" the guy vomited, and he couldn't help but vomit when he smelled it.
When everyone present saw it, they all burst into laughter, which was nothing short of a miracle! How unlucky it was? Let a fish vomit rush out, douse itself, and finally vomit wildly.
The guy jumped headlong into the sea, and he couldn't stand it.
"Damn! I'll settle accounts with you later. The young villager cursed and washed his stolen goods.
The others no longer dared to stand in front of the mouth of this sperm whale, after all, with the experience of the past, that guy was too embarrassed. It's scary to think about, and it's like a big bucket of water thrown at you.
On the beach, a woman said even more amazingly: "Wash the old lady, it's disgusting, don't climb into my bed tonight." β
The lad wailed, and the people on the shore laughed wildly. Reading, a better reading experience.
