Volume III Chapter 10 Hidden Dangers
found the silver dragon with a mutation in body color, Li Sheng was not sure if it was because of a genetic mutation, but he felt that eight out of ten [nine] was. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He carefully controlled the water around the fish so that the fish could not struggle, then reached out and grabbed the fish and controlled its body with air, leaving only the mouth to move.
When the silver Arowana is brought out of the water, the thick black scales on its body reflect the sunlight, highlighting the metallic color in it, as if it was plated with a thick layer of black metal.
He asked the worker, "Have you ever seen such a fish before?" ”
"Nope. But the silver ones have caught a few. But I ate them all. ”
Arowana are ornamental fish in Asia, but they do not have this fate in South America, and are usually placed in the fish market as food fish. Even the purebred silver Arowana in Asia is no longer of much value. Nowadays, ornamental arowanas are crossed from Australian or Asian arowana. And the price of those xenos is not as crazy as it was back then. The days of a million-dollar article are long gone.
So he didn't blame the workers for eating the fish, but this one was also a different species, and he didn't think about eating it like that: "I'll take this fish away." You don't have an opinion. ”
"Uh, boss, take it if you like." This lake belongs to Li Sheng, and of course this fish is also his. He wanted to take the fish, and the workers, of course, had no opinion.
Li Sheng asked people to find a relatively large plastic bucket, put the fish inside, and then hoisted it back to the villa by helicopter. When he returned to the villa, he didn't know where to keep it. If you want to feed such a large fish, you need a fairly large fish tank. He wanted to get a suitable fish tank, which was also troublesome.
Finally, he put the fish in a large plastic bucket and raised it first. This fish was quite bold, and not long after it was put in the bucket, it began to eat the worms that Li Sheng had thrown down.
Li Sheng thought about what to do with the fish. Eating it is the most straightforward, but it seems to be a bit wasteful. It's also a hassle to raise. But this doesn't seem to be bad, there don't seem to be any decorations in the villa, and adding a fish tank should be more angry. It's just that the large fish tank is also more troublesome to clean.
Do you want to bring it back to Huaxia? It occurred to him that the countries of East and Southeast Asia are still very fond of such ornamental fish.
He was planning to go back, so he could take a fish back to show Chen Bo. He needs to have a relationship in China, maybe there is a relationship that likes Arowana.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. Perhaps the only all-black Arowana in the world, rare is precious, and people who like Arowana receive such a gift more precious than any gift.
But he just thought so, and as a result, Zhang Feng called him and said, "Boss, those workers have found a small group of small black arowana, about the length of a palm." ”
Li Sheng suddenly felt a little beep for a dog. However, he still felt a little lucky, and the black dragon fish would not necessarily be the same as this one when it grows up. After all, the small fish of the black arowana is black.
Besides, even if those arowanas were still black when they grew up, they were only found on Silent Farm. As long as he doesn't sell out, it won't be overflowing.
However, immediately afterward, workers discovered new variants of silver arowana one after another. The way to harvest the algae is no longer to use a tractor to tow it, but to install a motorized rotary machine directly on the shore to tow the flat-bottomed boat full of kelp back with steel cables, which can tow back at least 60 tons of kelp at a time, and each time it comes back and forth much faster than the previous tractor.
Perhaps it was the new harvesting method that allowed the giant algae in the two lakes to be harvested relatively quickly, and the discovery of black arowana that aroused the curiosity of the workers. They soon spotted three more colors of Arowana.
A purplish-red, the edges of the scales of this Arowana are deep purplish-red, with a gradual fading of color in the middle until the center turns red. One is golden. This gold is very simple, just like pure gold. The last one is pink, but the head is lighter, the tail is darker, the scales are also darker at the edges, lighter in the center, and the middle is very even.
This made Li Sheng feel a little dizzy. Could it be that the water in this small lake can really make some special changes in Arowana?
However, he caught a few pairs of mutated arowanas of various colors, and he observed them for a week, but he did not find any changes in the body color of those arowana. Those arowanas are still as lustrous as gold, and the color is very positive. This shows that Arowana can survive in ordinary water.
The tourist visa to China has been completed. He didn't rush to go right away, but let people catch a few intact Arowana. He planned to take it to Huaxia together.
There was indeed more than one black arowana, and the workers saw at least five or six, but they only caught one more. The others were all only two captured. Both are a male and female couple. It took them a lot of effort to find these four pairs of fish.
Li Sheng saw that the number of these heterochromatic arowanas seemed to be quite a lot, and after thinking about it for half a day, he asked Anthony to ask the construction team that was still building the runway to find a time to get a rockery fish pond out of the courtyard of his villa. In the future, he plans to catch some different color arowana and keep them inside. It's just that now that these have been caught, he still decided to continue to take them to Huaxia.
He didn't plan to go through any quarantine or anything like that. However, looking at the health status of these fish, it should not be a sick fish, and quarantine should be redundant, as for viruses and bacteria. What he wants to say is that there is nothing detectable for such a large ornamental fish. The quarantine authorities can't kill a single such fish for testing.
If you are worried about viruses and bacteria, you don't have to go through the ports of the Amazon estuary. Otherwise, the load-bearing water brought back will also bring back all the viruses and bacteria in the river water.
Li Sheng packed the eight fish in large plastic buckets, and then threw them into the space, planning to leave for China tomorrow.
But at this time, something happened to the farm again.
Worried, Thomas came to his office and told him that a pony in Pastoral Nine had disappeared two days earlier.
There are already more than a dozen ponies on the farm, all of which were born to the farm's herding horses.
Although Li Sheng is a little pity, he doesn't feel anything. Those were ordinary horses, and there was not much loss if they were lost. "Probably ran into the forest by the river to the south," he said. "There may be crocodiles in the forest over there, and there is a possibility that they will be eaten. What's more, it's flood season again, and it's possible that the horse accidentally fell into the water and drowned.
Thomas whispered: "If it's a crocodile, I'm not too worried, on land, the crocodile's mobility will be affected to a certain extent." I'm worried about anacondas or forest anacondas. ”
Li Sheng looked at him as if he was very nervous, and was a little puzzled: "Even if the python eats it, there is no way to be nervous now." Just tell the workers not to go near the forest. ”
Thomas nodded and said, "Now it can only be like that." But we can't take it lightly. Animals hunt in relatively fixed areas. If they hunt successfully in one place, they will come more often afterward. Whether it is a forest python or a water anaconda, they are still very mobile on land. In particular, our grassland grass is dense and tall, and it is difficult to spot if another python enters. That's what I'm worried about. ”
When Li Sheng heard him say this, he felt that it was not unreasonable. He stood up and took two steps, but thinking that he might not be able to find it if he looked for it himself, he asked, "Have you ever asked people to find that forest?" Did you find anything? ”
"Nope." The area of the forest is quite large, and it is not easy to search for it.
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You tell the workers to be careful." Anyway, it's strictly forbidden to enter the forest for the time being. You should also pay attention to safety in your daily life. ”
"I'm afraid it will cause panic!"
"It's better than someone having an accident." Panic may make people more cautious.
Li Sheng said: "You should also pay attention to this matter during this time. ”
Thomas frowned and said, "I will." He thought for a moment and said. I figured I could get the security team to search the forest. ”
Although Li Sheng had his own thoughts, he still said: "Okay, I'll call Babur and Zhang over." ”
In about ten minutes, Babur and Zhang Dingbian rushed over.
Thomas told the two of them his guesses.
Li Sheng said: "Your security team is more proficient in searching, can you send some people in to find it?" However, it is better not to act alone, and if you find it, shoot it directly. ”
Babur nodded and said, "That's our job." We'll take care of it. "The job of the security team is to keep the farm safe, and now the safety of the farm workers can be threatened. The security team must do its part.
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then you go back and make arrangements." I will go to Huaxia tomorrow and let me know if I find anything. ”
After the three of them left, Li Sheng thought about it for a while, but he was still not at ease, so he drove a helicopter to the south near the forest. Released the energy field induction. He found a lot of animals in the forest, such as giant dolphins and caimans. No pythons were found.
Searching the entire forest, his head hurts. The python was not found, and he was a little relieved. But it's not entirely reassuring. After eating large prey, pythons can digest for a long time. If the pony that ate it was really a python, maybe the python was hiding from digesting in a safe place.
He didn't ask Thomas about the size of the pony, but there were only a dozen or so ponies on the farm, and he remembered that the latest one seemed to have been born more than two months ago.
A python that can swallow a pony may be able to swallow a person as well. But now he can't eliminate this possible hidden danger. And it will take at least a few days for a python to digest such a large amount of food. If he really hid and digested it, he might not be able to wait for it to reappear during this time.
In addition, he arranged for a security team and asked Thomas to warn the workers. He felt that nothing should happen in half a month. And his arrangements to go to Huaxia have already been decided, and he doesn't want to delay this matter.
He asked Thomas to explain a few words, reminding him that if there was a python, it might not appear again in the next few days.
Thomas nodded and said, "I also told Babur and Zhang about this." So in the last few days, the security team has not been able to go in and search for the time being. ”
When Li Sheng heard him say that, he put down this matter for the time being, and prepared to go to Huaxia with peace of mind.
