Chapter 128: Octopus

On Tuesday night, when Li Xiaoyan went to work, she was taken by Liao Wenzhi to another office that had been locked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 On the huge panel desk is a football-sized crystal octopus with two obsidian eyes the size of a ping-pong ball, lying on a jagged white coral stone. Behind the desk sat a person, in a dark blue casual suit, lined with a black jumper, very neat three-seven hair, black shiny, looking down and flipping through documents. Liao Wenshan said: "Xie Dong, Li Xiaoyan is here." As soon as the man raised his head, he looked at Li Xiaoyan, and what Li Xiaoyan saw was a casual and keen gaze, yes, Xie Jun. Li Xiaoyan bowed slightly and called, "Xie Dong." ”

Liao Wenshan turned around and went out, Xie Jun stood up, pressed his hands on the table, and said, "Smiling, you look pretty good." You fall out of love, should I congratulate you, or should I feel sorry for you? Or unscrupulously didn't say? Pretend not to know? I won't pretend, I'm like this, I know what I know, I don't know what I don't know, and I'm always honest with everyone, including myself. Or maybe you're not out of love, it's just a show? Huh? How are things going to turn out? For money, fake breakups, get money, and get back together. Yes, wishes are always perfect, but reality is smoky and unpredictable. Sister, you need to be prepared. ”

Xie Jun took out a bottle of mulberry fruit vinegar from the cabinet behind him, two cups, and poured them full. Turning out of the desk, he motioned for Li Xiaoyan to sit down on the sofa next to him, put a cup of fruit vinegar in front of Li Xiaoyan, and said, "Mulberry fruit vinegar, produced by our company." If you like to drink it, I'll give you a box for the female classmates in your dormitory and class, and at school, and of course, the male classmates. Xie Jun stood up, went to the cabinet and took out a stack of brochures, sat on the sofa, put the brochures in front of Li Xiaoyan, and said, "Show your classmates, if there is someone who is willing to help us sell products, I will give a commission." Xie Jun stood up again, went to the cabinet and took out a bottle of fruit vinegar, came back and sat down, and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Try mulberry fruit vinegar first." Li Xiaoyan took a sip, Xie Jun said, "How is it?" Li Xiaoyan said: "It's not very sweet, it's a little sour, it's very appetizing, it's delicious, and it's faint and has a very aftertaste." ”

Xie Jun nodded and said, "Know the goods." Taking mulberry as the main raw material and wine yeast BM45 as the alcoholic fermentation strain of mulberry fruit vinegar, the optimal process parameters of mulberry fruit vinegar alcoholic fermentation were determined by orthogonal experiments: total sugar content 16g/100mL, inoculation amount 3%, fermentation temperature 28°C, SO2 addition amount 40mg/L, ASL41 acetic acid bacteria were used as mulberry fruit vinegar acetic acid fermentation bacteria, and the optimal process parameters of mulberry fruit vinegar acetic acid fermentation were determined by orthogonal experiments: inoculation amount 10%, stirring speed 80r/min, Fermentation temperature 33%. I only make healthy food, natural quality. Although the situation of garbage everywhere is caused by people, people are still the animals that hate garbage the most and are the most afraid of garbage. On the one hand, ruthless destruction, on the other hand, desperately demanding that there be no human pollution, the animal that can best embody the contradiction is human, and wants to cover up. Actually, I don't think people deserve to eat pure natural things, but only synthetic, genetically modified, chemical fertilizers, hormones, and things that have been stirred with all kinds of additives. ”

Xie Jun stood up, paced to the desk, held up the octopus on the table, and said, "You don't know yet, do you? When I was an octopus in my previous life, I was brutally fished by fishermen, and at my last glance before I died, I saw the prosperity of the world, so I decided to be reincarnated in the world. When I was in the underworld, I had four wrists and feet chopped off, and the pain that I now recall makes my soul hurt and chill. I'm a mollusk, and it hurts even more when I get my bones pierced. The more I grew up, the more I found that this is a spiritual desert, all prosperity is based on the cruelty of animal competition, and the beauty of the human world is the infinite pursuit of human beings' requirements for a sense of existence, and this infinite requirement has made the world more and more ugly and low, and they do not pursue beauty and harmony itself. I want to be an octopus again, hiding in the cracks of the rocks at the bottom of the sea, using my soft wrists and feet to use my ingenuity to catch my lovely food: all natural and unpolluted. ”

Li Xiaoyan's head seemed to be washed by the pure seawater, and he looked at Xie Jun quietly and gently. Xie Jun knew that she understood, and did not think of herself as a crazy weirdo. She was well-meaning and cared for him. His words have undoubtedly narrowed the distance between the two and pointed straight to the heart. This is someone who can confide in because she doesn't take it as a joke.

Xie Jun said: "Have you watched "Exploration"?" Li Xiaoyan said: "Yes." Xie Jun said: "There is a film called 200 million years later, which says that the intelligent creature on the earth after 200 million years is our octopus. This is evidenced and foreshadowed: octopuses have 33,000 sets of genes, about 10,000 more than humans. Octopuses have well-developed brains, nerves, and eyes, conceptual thinking, and look in mirrors, and they use tools to walk with both brachiopods while the other brachiopods are used for camouflage. It is said that understanding how the octopus controls and coordinates the other eight soft brachiopods could help engineers design more agile robotic arms or robots that don't require brains. Octopuses have a strong ability to learn, and instead of learning from their parents, they are constantly improving from their own experiences. And the smartest thing about us is that we like to hide ourselves, and we don't want to be scared. This is also the most unfortunate point, being used by humans to catch us with bottles and cans. We are still very simple, but in 200 million years, just like human beings now, all animals and plants will exist for our survival as food that we raise and grow. ”

Li Xiaoyan finally laughed, and Xie Jun also smiled, and said, "What is the highest survival skill in society and nature?" Li Xiaoyan said: "Go ahead." Xie Jun said: "Wrong, concealment and camouflage, these two ways are not only the best way to escape, but also the best way to attack." Seamless means that the application of these two methods is extreme, and it will be successful. Li Xiaoyan said: "Modern people pay more attention to the truth and facts, because the amount of information received by people is too much, with the increase in the amount of information processed by human beings, the insight has also improved, concealment and camouflage are the representatives of scheming, which will make people disgusted, because there will be a feeling of treating others as fools, and no one wants to be treated as fools." Everyone is comparing who is smarter than whom, for example, I say that I am smarter than you and more knowledgeable than you. Xie Jun said: "Then why is there biomimicry?" Li Xiaoyan said: "We imitate nature and life, not the brains and behaviors of reptiles and mollusks." ”

Xie Jun said: "Why are there feints and fouls in basketball games?" Li Xiaoyan said: "That's the game." Xie Jun said, "What about the NBA? That's pure fighting. Li Xiaoyan said: "You are right, concealment and camouflage are the basic and primitive means of survival. Xie Jun said, "Are you interested in octopus?" Li Xiaoyan said: "If you are reincarnated by an octopus, I am willing to know a little more." ”

Xie Jun said: "When we face danger, we will bend and fold six of our eight brachiopods upwards to make the shape of coconut shells, and the remaining two brachiopods will stand on the ground of the seabed, secretly moving backwards, like small coconuts that can move, fleeing in backwards and strides, in a very funny posture." We can also simulate seaweed. And the speed of walking with two brachiopods is much faster than with eight brachipeds, and the maximum speed of the former is about 0.14 meters per second. Not only can the octopus spray ink six times in a row, but it is also able to change its color and structure like the most nimble chameleon, becoming like a stone covered in algae, and then suddenly pounce on its prey, who simply doesn't have time to realize what's happening. Octopuses crawl between reefs, crevices and seabeds with their nimble wrists and feet, sometimes disguised themselves as a bunch of coral, sometimes as a pile of glittering gravel, and can quickly mimic venomous creatures such as sea snakes, lionfish and jellyfish to avoid attack. ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "It's an extremely clever means for lower-level creatures, but for higher-level creatures, it's an ineffective little trick." It is said that the cockroach has an IQ of more than 200 before death, but it cannot hide from a human slipper. ”

Xie Jun glanced at Li Xiaoyan, and then said: "We are very fond of hiding in all possible containers, and we are crazy about all kinds of utensils, and we are eager to hide in hollow vessels. The octopus not only loves to drill bottles and cans, but also all containers. A large bottle with a mouth diameter of less than five centimeters with a volume of nine liters was recovered in the English Channel, and an octopus with a thickness of more than 30 centimeters was found inside, and a Greek shipwreck cargo hold found on the seabed not far from Marseille, France, was filled with amphorae and large jugs, almost each of which contained an octopus. The sinking of the three-story ship has provided the octopus with thousands of good homes. For more than 2,000 years, octopuses have lived in such wrecks for generations. After the wrecked plane sank to the bottom of the sea, the gasoline tank also provided shelter for the clever octopus. Even the skull of a man fished out of the Mediterranean Sea has an octopus hidden inside. ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "After all, it is a mollusk, too simple, if you want to rule the world, you really have to wait for someone to die." Xie Jun took a sip of fruit vinegar and continued: "Because of this unlucky hobby, insidious humans often use crockpots, bottles, and fishing gear to catch octopuses. Japanese fishermen sink clay pots of various shapes to the bottom of the sea every morning by tying them to long ropes. After a while, the fishermen bring up the clay pots, and the octopuses that stubbornly refuse to come out of the pots will come out with just a little salt in the pots. Indian fishermen take the same approach with conch shells. They often weave eight or nine hundred large conch shells into fishing nets, and they can catch two or three hundred octopuses every day. Cuban fishermen use conch shells to trap octopuses. Tunisian fishermen can also catch octopuses by throwing drains to the bottom of the sea. ”
