Chapter 129: Rational Planning
Where do octopus monsters come from?
The only thing that is certain is that it once lived in the Antarctic waters.
Mo Fan looked through the basic information of the octopus monster, this octopus monster had 11 stomachs. If you know enough about marine animals, you probably know that toothed cetaceans generally have 4 stomachs, while the first beaked whale has 15 stomachs. In addition, there are many marine creatures with multiple stomachs......
It's not uncommon for the octopus monster to have 11 stomachs, after all, it's in size. Its 11 stomachs, each with different functions. When I killed the octopus monster, I destroyed a few, and there are still a few stomachs left, some of which are used to store food, and each stomach pouch can store nearly 100 tons of food. There are undigested Antarctic shrimp, cold polar fish, emperor penguins, seals, orcas and other obvious Antarctic creatures.
Then test the octopus sucker barb, which is a special tissue formed by cell keratinization, which can detect the food that the octopus monster has eaten in the past, and determine that the octopus monster has lived in the Antarctic waters for a period of time, which may be a month or longer, because there is no detailed data and the growth rate of the octopus monster is not known.
It is known that the Pacific giant octopus has a high IQ. Previously, scientists have speculated that the Pacific giant octopus may be able to produce intelligence if it had a human lifespan. I don't know if it's true or not...... According to the size of the giant octopus monster, it must not grow that big in three or five years......
Mo Fan clicked on the wisdom catalog.
It says that the octopus monster has 1 brain and 8 brains, and the eight brains are attached to each tentacle. It's the same as a regular octopus...... However, there are more than 400 billion neurons in the octopus monster's brain.
That's pretty scary.
The number of neurons in the human brain is about 86 billion, which is about the same number of neurons that a baboon's brain has. But there are more than 400 billion neurons in the octopus monster's brain......
Octopuses may not have human intelligence, but at least they have the potential to give birth to intelligence.
Mooro is responsible for the study of the octopus monster, which is mainly from various universities, dozens of pages, and has a lot of professional knowledge, including DNA and DNA comparison with existing animal species on Earth. Mo Fan couldn't finish reading these materials all day, so he simply copied a copy: "Is there anyone or a country that wants to clone the octopus monster?"
"I don't know. Mooro shook his head: "By the way, this is a female octopus monster." If it is the same as other species of octopus, it means that it is still in the growing season. ”
Growing period of Nima......
Mo Fan's cheeks twitched slightly: "Are you sure?"
"Sure. Known octopuses, even the four-year-old Pacific giant octopus, have only one chance to spawn in their lifetime. Because of the huge energy consumption, and the motherhood of the female octopus, they will endure starvation until the baby octopus is born......"
"I know that when the little octopus is born, the big octopus will die. I have read these articles 'Great Mother's Love'. Mo Fan put away the USB flash drive and then visited the No. 2 laboratory.
This is the largest and largest laboratory used to monitor and track whale movements and study marine ecology. At present, the main subject of research is pearl farming......
Black pearl farming in Tahiti, which began in the sixties of the last century, has its own system. The original farms were in Bora Bora, and the pearl farms in the Tikhau Atoll were established in the last decade, but the quality has not been as good as those in the Society Islands. The pearl farming technology is basically very mature, and it is quite difficult to improve it.
Mo Fan listened to a lot of explanations from Mooro, saw that the time was almost noon, and said goodbye and left.
Driving the yacht, he met Xiao Mo and a group of miscellaneous whales on the way, Mo Fan warned Xiao Mo through his mind to stay here with peace of mind, don't run around indiscriminately, don't cause trouble. Before figuring out the origin of the octopus monster, Mo Fan was not at ease that it roamed freely.
Back at Tikhao Atoll, Mo Fan first went to Pearl Island, had a meal with Professor Matt, and began to sort out the company's affairs.
The former manager of Tak, the pearl farming company that has all the pearl farming occasions in the entire atoll, is still in the police station, waiting to be prosecuted and imprisoned. Greed for money is not terrible, everyone likes money, but a gentleman loves money and has to take it in a proper way.
Tahiti is big and small.
The industry engaged in pearl farming is even smaller, and the news spread quickly.
Pearl farming in Tikhau Atoll is based on locals, most of whom are the atoll's indigenous people. Mo Fan bought the atoll, and the aborigines of the atoll became rich overnight, but there were still many people who were willing to stay and continue to work. After Mo Fan took over the farm, he raised everyone's salary, which is a good job.
After the impromptu meeting was held, all the personnel looked at Mo Fan, worried about the fate of being expelled. It's not that I'm afraid of losing my job, but ......
The people of Tahitian, especially the inhabitants of the Tuamotu Islands, are for the most part, very simple. There has been a case of corruption at the Mofan farm, which seems to be the first corruption case in the Tuamotu Islands, and it is believed that it will soon reach the Lunjira Atoll. At this time, he was expelled, and when he returned to the village, he inevitably gossiped and was regarded as a dishonest person.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... A few days ago, the general manager of the company was fired by me. You ought to know why...... Since I bought all the farms in the atoll and set up Tak, each of you has received at least 30% more wages than in the past. I hope you work well and not be affected...... I have already found someone for the general manager of the company, and the company will resume normal operations soon. ”
The farm is only responsible for breeding and taking pearls, and does not come into direct contact with money.
The extra salaries paid by Rotoruwa to several female workers were paid directly to their wage accounts. The investigation of the incoming and outgoing funds in and out of the account of Rotarowa did not reveal any other suspicious expenditures. That guy is really stupid and bold, and he is invincible.
Mo Fan said a few words, and then met with the heads of the two departments separately.
The farm has two divisions, the part that is responsible for the pearl extraction and pearl core implantation, and then the culture department.
"When I bought the farm, I remember that the total size of the farm was 300,000 clips. "The farming here is to put two stainless steel nets together, and one clip is equal to six rare shells, or less. It is harvested after three to four years of cultivation......
"Yes, 296,200 clips. The supervisor of the breeding department said: "About 1.45 million pearl shells." ”
"Who sets the current harvest amount?"
"Rotoluwa, he formulated. I objected, but ......"
Black pearls are produced by black lipped oysters.
Black lipped oyster is a very rare pearl oyster, which has extremely high requirements for water quality and environment, and only lives in atoll coral waters. The Tuamotu Islands were also introduced for farming later, and not all atolls are suitable for its life......
The cultured black lipped oysters usually only take the pearls and do not kill the shells, and then take the pearls and put them back into the sea to continue to raise. Of the pearl oysters that have undergone the core extraction operation, only 30 of the 100 pearl bells will produce pearls, and only one or two of them will become perfect products. Naturally occurring perfect black pearls are even rarer, and it takes almost 10,000 black lipped oysters to find one......
Farming has the benefits of farming. The previous day's production was 1,500 pearls, requiring 5,000 oysters, while culturing pearls took three to four years...... With the scale of the farm, according to the current harvesting volume, it will be harvested in more than a year, and a vacuum period will be formed.
With 43 farmers and pickers working in the farm area, handling 5,000 pearl oysters per day is no small challenge. Besides, the pearl thing, not the more you produce, the more profitable, unless there is a particularly large scale.
"Reduce production. It is necessary to ensure continuous picking in the future and reasonably plan for sustainable development......" Mo Fan touched his chin: "In the future, the tourism industry will develop, and you can still make a gambling industry." There shouldn't be a lot of mother-of-pearl oysters left, so you can start with a new harvest. The most important work in the future is to cooperate with Professor Matt to improve the pearl culture program and establish the experimental culture area. ”
