Chapter 66: Find a babysitter for the big fish

The island of Maka hangs out in the sea.

In the early morning, mist drifts over the calm sea.

Humpback whales sing beautifully, like the chant of a kraken, distant, ethereal, and a little sparse.

But a moment later, another humpback whale also sang, like a beautiful symphony, which shook the heart.

The wonder and greatness of nature is far beyond human imagination.

On the docks, construction workers who were about to start work heard the voice, and several Polynesians bowed down in the direction of the sea.

……

"It's noisy. Mo Fan was still sleeping with his head covered, and the humpback whale's call was beautiful, mixed with the call of the killer whale and the muffled roar of the blue whale.

“Boss,Boss。 It's terrible, it's not good......" Tanui hurried over and shouted outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Humpback whales, the giant beasts of the sea worshipped by the Nanata people, they are surrounded by killer whales. There are several Nanatas among the dock construction workers who are ready to go out on a boat to help the humpback whales. ”

"Damn!"

Who else worships humpback whales?

Mo Fan hurriedly turned over and got up, he knew that with Xiaomo, it was impossible for killer whales to hunt humpback whales.

"Neuropathy. Did they go to sea?"

"Stopped by someone...... There was fog at sea, and none of them had large ships. ”

Mo Fan jumped into the four-wheel drive SUV, let Tanui sit on it, and hurried to the dock: "Hey guys, killer whales didn't hunt humpback whales. ”

The three young men of the Nanata tribe were stopped by others, and when they heard Mo Fan say, they all looked over.

"Listen to me, killer whales don't hunt humpback whales, and they don't fight. You listen carefully, those guys are friendly......"

"However, killer whales are ferocious predators. The young men of the Nanata tribe did not believe, and said.

"Well, I'll take you out to sea. ”

James ran over: "Boss, can you take me? I want to go to sea too." ”

“OK。 Mo Fan pointed to the Itama 76, 76-foot yacht and asked James to bring the keys.

"Can you take me?" said the big man Hawaksa shyly.

"Get on board. ”

Carrying seven people, Mo Fan drove the yacht towards the sea.

On the misty sea, visibility is only about 100 meters.

Mo Fan called out a small foam, and the deep-sea 'nuclear submarine' slowly swam over, making a 'click, click' sound, asking Mo Fan, 'What are you doing'.

Along with Foam, there are several killer whales, which swim around Foam like loyal guards.

Mo Fan stopped the boat, went to the water deck behind the yacht, and touched Xiaomo's head.

Sperm whales are veritable large heads, with their heads taking up a third of their bodies. Others watched from the sun deck and the stairs, not daring to come down.

A young man of the Nanata tribe was bold: "Mr. Mo Fan, can you really communicate with whales?"

"Perhaps. Mo Fan smiled: "Only Xiaomo listens to me, and the other whales, I can't call them." ”

After a while, the humpback whale mother and the humpback whale father came over with a baby humpback whale, and there were also cruising killer whales nearby, they were playing. Emerging from the fog and disappearing into the fog is such a harmonious scene that feels too unreal.

"Well, they're not fighting. "Mo Fan asked Xiaomo to go out to play by herself, and Xiaomo sent a message of 'hungry' again.

What a foodie......

Mo Fan ordered Xiao Mo not to hunt and drove the boat back to the port.

This group of big guys will not leave anytime soon, and they must be taken care of and useful in the future.

Different cetaceans have their own different habits, such as blue whales, which like to eat small shrimp and small fish, and eat an amazing amount of food. Killer whales eat everything, but different killer whale families have their own recipes...... Then there are humpback whales, sperm whales.

A blue whale needs about 7 tons of food per day. Three humpback whales, almost 3 tons of food. Seven sperm whales, at least 5 tons of food to prepare. Finally, there are twenty-seven killer whales, which also cost about 10 tons of food.

"James, where can I buy a lot of small fish and shrimp. ”

James spread his hands......

"My father ran a fishing company. "Nanata young Ariak said.

"I need about 25 tons of fresh seafood, 17 tons of fish, 5 tons of squid, and dried shrimp...... Anyway, it's good if it's cheap. ”

"I called my father. "Eriac asked his father for a relatively good price.

"Mr. Mo Fan, are you planning to raise whales?"

"I have to give them something to eat, or the ecology of my sea will ...... They are coming with Xiaomo and will not leave for a short time. Can you help me find a cheap and stable supply channel?"

"Of course, there are a lot of fishermen in the Eastern Islands, where the fish is cheap and fresh. However, you can only buy small fish, such as scale shrimp, and if the quantity is huge, you can only find a fishing company to purchase, and the price of scale shrimp is cheap. ”

"Is there any interest in quitting and come and help me. ”

Eriac perked up: "It's my pleasure. ”

"You need to recruit on your own. The main job is to help me feed the big fish......"

"Okay. ”

Mo Fan pulled James away, and the big strong man Havaksa smiled and hugged Eryak's shoulders: "How about I help you?"

"Of course. ”

In the office of the dock, Mo Fan turned the globe on the table: "What association contacted me before?"

"The A. Matt Mooro Society, an institution that studies the survival habits of sharks and cetaceans. ”

"Help me contact their chair and have them take care of the whales. Mo Fan touched the stubble on his chin, looked at James, and asked.

"Nice note. A large group of whales of different species live together, and it is not easy to take care of them. It is said that I know that even the same kind of whales have different recipes in different families......"

"Stop selling your knowledge, let them come over as soon as possible. ”

At noon, a fishing boat loaded with seafood came over, and Mo Fan boarded the boat, checked the food for the whales, and then drove the boat to the deep sea area.

They are all small fish the size of the palm or smaller, and they weigh more than 20 tons and are all thrown into the sea.

Sperm whales love to eat squid. Humpback whales love to eat small fish...... The blue whale is basically not refused, but it swims at the bottom and waits for the sperm whale and the blue whale to eat when they are full.

The fisherman who came over was stunned. Someone wanted to take a photo with his mobile phone, but was stopped by Mo Fan.

The most numerous killer whales are not interested in small fish and shrimp, and the real overlords of the ocean are very arrogant.

There were two one-meter-long tuna at the bottom of the cold storage, which should have been missed by the fishing company, and were picked up by Mo Fan and thrown into the sea, which attracted killer whales.

"Damn!"

Mo Fan was speechless, there was tuna in the recipe of this group of killer whale families, and it seemed that it was still the staple food.

As a killer whale lover, you may know that different killer whale families have different recipes, some eat fish, some eat penguins, some eat seals, and passerby whales (wandering whales) are the most taboo, preying on dolphins, cetaceans, sharks, and eating whatever they catch. The fixed killer whale family is very attached to the family recipe that has been passed down, and it is quite difficult to get them to eat small fish in a different way......

If you only eat small fish and feed this group of whales, 20,000 dollars a day is less than enough. But killer whales are too picky eaters and have little interest in small fish......

Mo Fan asked the fishing company to transport a batch of big fish......

Final checkout, $38,000.

After that, the average daily expense was $30,000. Fortunately...... Mo Fan guessed that this group of whales should not be near Maka Island all year round. Then Mo Fan guessed wrong, this group of whales followed Xiao Mo, where Xiao Mo went, where did this group of whales go. Unless the foam is included in the space......

It's almost $11 million a year, which is nothing to Mo Fan.

Keep them and they will definitely be useful in the future.

Besides, with a group of obedient whales, it is still difficult to estimate how much value can be created in a year. In short, it won't be a loss.

In the evening, the cetacean research came to the island by helicopter, and Mo Fan took them with him, and then called Havaksa and Eliac to let Xiao Mo get to know him.

"Professor Matt, you're probably familiar with it. Mo Fan touched Xiao Mo's generous face.

"Not strange, not strange. It's called Mo......" Professor Matt trembled with excitement.

"This area is home to killer whales, blue whales, and humpback whales, all of which are headed by small foam horses. If you have a good relationship with it, the other whales won't attack you. ”

Professor Matt's unreserved excitement: "I, can I touch it?"

"Of course. ”

Xiao Mo was impatient to be touched by other people, and sprayed Matt's face with seawater: "Oh God." It's so exciting...... In fact, killer whales basically do not attack humans, and humpback whales and blue whales do not attack humans either. "Killer whales have a ferocious temperament, but strangely enough, there have been very few instances of killer whales attacking humans, and there have not been a single case of human death, or even playing with humans. Rather, it is sperm whales, and some sperm whales will actively attack humans, but not for food, but just to attack, feeling the instinctive reaction of the threat.

Matt has been studying cetaceans for decades, and apart from being in the aquarium, he has had very few first-hand encounters with cetaceans.

Now seeing so many whales at one time, can not be excited.

"Mr. Mo Fan, thank you so much. I will definitely take care of them. ”

"Don't rush to thank you just yet, all members of your institute must sign a confidentiality agreement. Any papers, photographs, research results to be published publicly...... I have to read it and agree to it. ”

"Of course, that's no problem at all. But we may need your assistance in our preliminary work......" Matt was shocked, incredulous, and envious that Mo Fan could get along with the whales, but the truth was in front of him, and these whales seemed to listen to Mo Fan.

"Yes. ”
