It's night, and the lights are still bright inside Tsugaru Fishery Co., Ltd. in Aomori Prefecture.

"Master, please advise." Junichi Takano bowed and served the plate with both hands, on which was a freshly cooked abalone.

Known as one of the three famous teachers in the Japanese abalone industry, Hiratani picked up the knife and fork, although he did not understand the way of the sword, but for decades the attainments in the table knife have been superb, along the texture of the abalone, moisturizing the thing silently cut it, looking at the mesh pattern of the cutting surface, he couldn't help but nod, and half of it was divided again, and then put it in the mouth, licked a little abalone juice on the tip of the tongue, the teeth touched the abalone meat, chewed it gently, the strong fragrance and true flavor overflowed between the lips and teeth, closed the eyes and tasted the feeling carefully.

Junichi Takano and the seven or eight middle-aged and young people next to him held their breath and waited for Master Pingya's ruling, and the sound of an old-fashioned wall clock on the wall ticking and ticking sounded, making them nervous and excited every second, nervous because Master Pingya's brows were slightly furrowed, and excitement was because his brows were stretched.

Almost more than two minutes, Pinggu finally opened his eyes, as a master standing at the top of a certain industry, he has his own bearing, there seems to be light in his eyes, looking at the eyes of Junichi Takano and others, he couldn't help but show a smile, and came to a conclusion: "There is progress." ”

"Oh!" Everyone cheered, and Junichi Takano, who was the leader, said excitedly, "Master, with your guidance, we will definitely be able to revitalize the name of Aomori Net Abalone!" ”

If Ao Tang and the water tribes heard it, they were afraid that they would be dumbfounded, their target was Jipin abalone in Aomori Prefecture, why did this group of Aomori people say what net abalone? Where did Ji Pin Bao go?

Actually, Jipin Bao is from another county. Yoshihama from Iwate Prefecture, whose real name is Yoshihama Bao, although Japan has left Asia and entered Europe, but it has been influenced by Oriental culture for thousands of years, and still maintains some oriental habits in its bones.

Abalone is divided into dried abalone and fresh abalone, and the three most famous dried abalone in Japan are Aomori net abalone, Aomori Woma abalone, and Iwate Yoshishina. Really speaking, Aomori net abalone is the hardest brand, but how can net abalone have good luck? The quality is not as good as the name, you look at the Jishinabu in Iwate Prefecture. Jipin is the best, this is a good name, and as a result, the net abalone was sold. was put on the name of "Jipin Abalone" by others, and after a long time, people who don't know the inside story think that what is produced in Aomori County is Jipin Abalone, which makes Aomori's group of people half dead, we are obviously not Jipin Abalone!

Pinggu bowed slightly, and admonished: "We Japan is the kingdom of abalone, but the world is constantly developing, China has exploded production, Mexico has developed canned abalone, Australia, the Middle East, South Africa and even those backward small countries in Southeast Asia are developing the abalone industry. This is an external enemy, and our internal enemy, hmph, can't underestimate the two guys Hanada and Kumai, who will retreat if they don't advance against the current. are all making progress, that is a small step forward is also a retreat, we have to stride forward! ”

Hanada and Kumai are the other two masters in the Japanese abalone world, one is the Woma abalone, and the other is the real Jipinbao abalone, and Junichi Takano and others dare not be rude to the other two masters. But they still have more confidence in their own masters.

At this time, another disciple on the side of Gao Ye Jun took out a document and said in a good manner: "Master, the nutrition analyst has reported another great event. He respectfully handed over the document, but found that Master Pinggu had no intention of answering, so he had to continue the oral report, "According to our continuous cultivation, the nutrition of abalone has been further improved, and it is no less than eggs!" ”

The other disciples who didn't know in advance couldn't help but sigh and said excitedly: "Master, this is a great event, many people slander that an abalone is not as nutritious as an egg, now we can prove our innocence and slap them in the face!" ”

"Yes, master, we can advertise 'abalone that is more nutritious than eggs', it will definitely be able to ......," the man said, as if he sensed that something was wrong, and he couldn't go on. …,

"Bastard!" Master Pinggu was furious, snatched the nutritional analysis document, tore it to pieces a few times, and kicked the disciple who was going to make a stupid advertisement, "Do you want to harm the abalone industry?" Abalone is eaten with taste, not nutrition! ”

Pinggu was about to continue to teach the fools a lesson, when an employee hurried in and shouted, "Master Pinggu, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Without Hiratani's voice, Junichi Takano had already drunk and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Chief Takano, something is wrong, something happened to the cages at sea, something happened!"

"What!" Pinggu rushed forward, grabbed the employee, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone stole it!"

"Bastard! Do the guards on the farm eat? ”

Junichi Takano persuaded Pingya: "Master, please calm your anger, I'll go over and see it immediately, maybe it's not a big problem." ”

Pinggu let go of his hand angrily, thinking that what Gao Ye said was not wrong, maybe there was no danger.

For aquaculturists, the matter of stealing cages is not news, not only in Japan, but also in almost all countries, every year or even monthly, nothing more than malicious competitors, or those who can't see others get rich, or personal enemies, in short, these despicable villains secretly cut the cages of the farm.

If it is a fish farm, once the cage is cut, the fish must run around, especially in the sea, and the direct run is gone, and the loss can be described as great. Pinggu, Gao Ye and others often pay attention to the breeding news at home and abroad, for example, there was an example in China not long ago, in early August, a company was cut more than 100 cages, the loss of nearly 20 million!

Aquaculture is a high-risk thing, no one knows when there will be despicable villains, cutting cages, throwing pesticides, really causing huge losses, even if the police solve the case, the real murderer may not have money to pay.

But abalone farming is different from general aquaculture, abalone is not a fish, but a shellfish, even if the cage is cut, it is nothing more than sinking to the bottom of the sea, at most a small part is carried away by the current or eaten by some marine animals, the vast majority is safe, nothing more than recycling. Of course, abalone can't crawl away, and it can climb forty or fifty centimeters per minute, but what is this speed?

"Junichi, then please. Well, if you have a lot of work, you can ask the prefectural agricultural office and the Cultivation and Fisheries Promotion Association for help, our net abalone is an important product in the prefecture, and they will not sit idly by. Also, don't forget to report the incident to the prefectural police headquarters, huh. It must have been made by someone from Hanada or Kumai! ”

Junichi Takano was silent, although they were competitors, but Master Hanada and Master Kumai couldn't be so tasteless, right?

an hour ago. Lan Yi led the army of the aquarium and came to the Pinggu net abalone farm, of course. The aquarium is only regarded as Jipin abalone.

The first ones who arrived in the waters of Aomori Prefecture to reconnoiter were Gun A, Gun B, and Hu Xin -- Hu Xin was transporting two gun shrimps, and the gun shrimp were in charge of reconnaissance -- Gun A reported to Lan B: "Secretary Lan Yi, we have already reconnoitred the entire Aomori sea area, there are fourteen large-scale abalone farms, the largest two are two, here is one of them, and the other is quite far away in the northwest. ”

The other is the abalone farm in the flower field.

"Good." Lan Yi climbed on the head of a whale shark and looked around at the army of water tribes, full of confidence and pride, "There are 36 people on this expedition." Claimed to be 360 people, what a mighty army! At that time, Cao Mengde claimed to be 800,000, but the tree was wiped out, but we and other water tribes were not afraid of fire attacks, that is, Zhuge was resurrected and Zhou Lang was reincarnated. In the face of my 360 army, I can only be captured. ”

Lan Yi looked at Gun Armor, although the Atlantic Task Force came back, but it was sent by Lord Dragon King to do something else, and there are still only three standing committee members of the Chuanshan Water Tribe, Lan Yi, Gun Armor, and Red Armor, and Red Armor stayed on Qingshan Island. Gun Armor is the number one general on the expedition, although Lan Yi thinks that the killer whale Blue Whale will be more powerful than Gun Armor. …,

"Gun armor, you lead the whole team of gun shrimp, eight crayfish, and five giant chapters to rob, no, to recover the interests that originally belonged to Lord Longwang."

"Yes, use me in the first battle, and I will win."

Killer whales, blue whales, whale sharks, these large giant aquarists are not suitable for entering the dense cage farms in front of them, otherwise the messy nets will entangle their bodies. Although the giant chapter is also a behemoth, but the octopus is different from others, it can be contracted and bent very well, and each of the five giant chapters carries a large iron box, which is the seawater-resistant stainless steel box customized by Ao Tang to transport the treasures of the sea, each with a volume of 400L, and on the blue whales and whale sharks, there are more spare boxes.

As for Lan Yi himself, the dignified secretary, of course, he has to strategize and sit in charge, and he doesn't need to rush to the front in person.

The crayfish rushed to the front, the chelicera were as sharp as a knife, and the network cable made of composite materials was easily cut. The spear shrimp did not open fire, and the eighteen shrimp soldiers worked together to drive the rain, not really to rain, but to form a current by pumping the seawater in the area.

The current pushed the abalone in the cage to swarm to the cut gap, and Juzhang was already carrying the big iron box, the mouth of the box was facing the breach, and soon filled a box, pulled up the iron box fence, and carried it back to hang on a certain blue whale. As the cages were cut open and boxes of abalone were loaded, it didn't take long for the abalone farms to be swept away.

"Let's go to the big farm in the northwest, and after recycling the big ones, we will recycle the small farms, well, as we go north, it seems that the abalone farms in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures are bigger. At that time, it will be recycled together, and then the nuclear sewage will be promoted, so that the nuclear sewage will contaminate the abalone in Iwate and Miyagi. ”

In fact, Iwate Prefecture is indeed the largest abalone production in Japan, with an annual output of five or six hundred tons, followed by Miyagi Prefecture with two or three hundred tons, and Aomori Prefecture with less than two hundred tons. When Japan produced 4,000 tons a year, China only had 20 tons, and now when China produced tens of thousands of tons a year, Japan was less than 2,000 tons.

Junichi Takano hurried to the seaside farm, they had boats, people and lights, and they patrolled through the cages one by one, and they couldn't help but be angry.

"Bastard, all the cages have been cut out, Ozawa-kun, you are derelict in your duties!"

Ozawa is the security captain of the farm, on duty day and night, regular patrols, this is the responsibility of the security team, others to cut the net must be a boat, it is impossible for a diver to cut the net? Ozawa's face was full of shame, and he couldn't defend himself.

Gao Ye snorted and said, "I'll give your security team a chance to make up for it, you dive down, pull a few nets out of the periphery of the farm, so that the abalone can't crawl away, and wait for all of them to be salvaged and recovered tomorrow morning." ”

Ozawa looked at the sea, although this is an offshore area. But there is also a dozen meters, and it is actually quite dangerous to dive in the middle of the night, but in order not to lose his job and not become a homeless man to sleep in the park, he can only endure it.

"Hey, we've got it."

Ozawa ordered a few security guards who were unwilling but did not dare to object. The farm has spare improvised diving equipment, tied to ropes and taken with diving flashlights. Pulled a large net and jumped into the sea.

But after a while, Ozawa floated up and shouted at Takano in a panic, "Section Chief Takano." Underwater, underwater ......"

"What's going on underwater?" Takano hurriedly asked, could it really be that some competitor hired divers to cut the nets, and the divers were still there?

Ozawa looked like he was surprised, half shocked and half frightened, and said, "There are no abalone under the water, not one!" ”

"Impossible!" Gao Ye was shocked, the abalone climbed very slowly, and with the nature of the abalone, it may not crawl away. …,

Several other security guards also surfaced one after another, and also reported: "Section chief. I don't think there's any abalone down there. ”

Gao Ye's face turned pale, and he suddenly woke up, and said: "You are laying a net on the periphery, maybe the abalone didn't climb outside at all, go to the inner circle to find it." ”

A moment later. Ozawa and the others floated up again: "Chief Takano, there really isn't, not one." ”

"How is that possible? It's not scientific! Takano muttered to himself, could it be...... He pointed at Ozawa and shouted angrily, "Did you cut the net a few days ago, you only found out now." Shirk responsibility before saying ...... tonight"

Ozawa shouted, "Mr. Takano, the company was inspected in the afternoon." ”

Gao Ye was stunned, isn't it, when he inspected the farm this afternoon, everything was normal, so it was true that the net was cut at night, but it is impossible for the abalone to climb so fast?

Gao Ye stared at the dark sea in the distance in a daze, what the hell was going on? Suddenly, my heart moved, revealing a look of shock, could it be...... Whale plague?

It's not that Takano is good at association, but last year's whale disaster made the Japanese remember deeply, the whale disaster was an inexplicable thing, and now it is also an inexplicable thing, and it is also a matter of the sea, no wonder Takano thinks so, he can't help but be afraid, after the whale disaster destroyed Japan's whaling industry and shipping industry, did he start with the aquaculture industry? Amaterasu, Buddha, God, why are we in Japan so in so many calamities?

Gao Ye returned to the shore in despair, if the abalone was still there, he would naturally do his best to keep the abalone and recover the abalone, but now this situation is not something he can handle, while asking his subordinates to call the police, while thinking that the police are okay.

After a while, his subordinates rushed over in shock and reported: "Section leader, the big thing is not good. ”

Gao Ye smiled bitterly, the matter has come to this, what is worse? It is nothing more than a fresh start, the cultivation of abalone is not a year or two, like them, who make high-end abalone, often have to be raised for seven or eight years or even more than ten years, which is almost a devastating blow to the company.

"Master Pinggu called the farm just now, and after knowing the situation, he, he ......"

"What's wrong with Master Pinggu?"

"It seems that he is in a hurry, he has a stroke, and the company is taking him to the hospital."

Gao Ye almost didn't faint, if Master Pinggu didn't work, then the company wouldn't even have a chance to make a comeback.

In another area of Aomori Prefecture, Hanada was woken up by an employee in the middle of the night and said angrily: "Even if it's the end of the world, I'll wait until an old man like me wakes up." ”

"Master Hanada, it's not a small recklessness, it's really a big deal, all the abalone in the Tsugaru Net Abalone Farm is missing, and Master Pinggu has a stroke."

"What?" Hanada suddenly got up, "That guy from Pinggu...... How so? "Although it is a competitor, but there is no sympathy, 10,000 steps back said, even if the situation is the same as water and fire, there is also a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

Moreover, Hanada frowned and asked, "All missing?" What does that mean? How could abalone be missing? ”

"Listening to the news from the police, it seems that someone dived and cut the net and stole all the abalone."

"Impossible!" Hanada shook his head and said, "The police are all laymen, and the net abalone farm produces dozens of tons of abalone every year, and there are more abalone that have not grown up by age, hundreds of tons, can divers steal them?" ”

Hanada picked up his mobile phone and was about to ask someone in person, but the mobile phone rang.

"Master Hanada, something happened to our farm, the net was cut, it seems、It seems that the abalone is all gone, the master ......"

Hanada rumbled in his head, and he couldn't listen to the words anymore. The phone fell directly on the tatami mat, and his voice trembled: "This, this, what the hell is this, what's going on?" ”…,

In the seawater, another box of abalone was hung on the blue whale with a steel cable, and the gun said: "Secretary Lan Yi, all abalone farms have been recovered." ”

Lan Yi looked at the time on the Rolex diving watch, it was still early.

"Lord Ryuwang said that we only need abalone, but we can draw inferences. Aomori Prefecture has the second largest production of scallops and sea cucumbers in Japan, so I will continue to work hard to destroy their scallop farms and sea cucumber farms. Pack them all for me and take them home. ”

"What if the Dragon King doesn't like scallops and sea cucumbers?"

Lan Yi pouted and said, "Then let's be a snack for our aquarium." After thinking about it, he said, "There are also fish farms, and the cages are cut." Drive fish out to the open sea and destroy their aquaculture before polluting their agriculture, fruit industry, and forestry. ”

On August 18, overnight, Aomori Prefecture, an important fishery base in Japan, was devastated.

The next morning, the Japanese dignitaries who received the news panicked, and the prime minister called a meeting of senior officials, think tanks, and aquatic experts.

"What the hell is going on? Experts, be sure to give me an answer. ”

The experts looked at each other and ransacked the entire marine breeding base in Aomori Prefecture overnight, which is simply not something that a human country can do. Even Americans can't do it, so it's no surprise that "whale plague ......"

As soon as this word came out, there was a dead silence in the conference room.

Because the whale plague was the first to be named, even if there are non-whale monsters in the future, humans are collectively referred to as whale plagues. At present, there are four types of whale disaster monsters that have been confirmed by humans: blue whales, killer whales, whale sharks, and giant medals. If it's a monster with eight tentacles like Juzhang, it's really easy to sneak into the farm and cut the cages, but how did the monsters get rid of the farmed aquatic products? Those fish may have swam away on their own, but abalone, scallops, and sea cucumbers must have been transported, how? If you talk about tonnage, there are giant monsters like blue whales. It may not be difficult to transport hundreds or thousands of tons of aquatic products, but the blue whale has no hands, and how many abalones, scallops, and sea cucumbers can be picked up by the only giant medal with "hands"?

Why are there whale plague monsters? On this point, human beings are nothing more than three points of view, one is the concept of gods and demons, there is no shortage of superstitious people in the world, after the whale disaster, more people began to believe in the existence of gods and demons, and the whale disaster animals are all gods and demons or monsters; The second is the alien view, maybe the alien flying saucer is lying in the Pacific Ocean, using alien technology to transform the animals in the ocean; The third is genetic mutation evolution, which is relatively scientific, but unfortunately it is still nonsense.

If it is a god or a demon, then the gods and demons have their own means of gods and demons, and it is naturally not a problem to transport away a small number of abalone, scallops and sea cucumbers.

If it was an alien, maybe the alien flying saucer was in the Aomori Sea at that time, and it directly packed the abalone, scallops and sea cucumbers.

If it was a genetic mutation, maybe the whale monsters learned to make tools, such as making chests or something.

Either way, it's not what humanity wants to see.

Although the loss of aquatic products in Aomori Prefecture is heavy, it is still insignificant to a country and even the entire human race, but gods and demons or aliens or evolving whale monsters can threaten the survival of human beings!

And what makes the Japanese government even more painful is, why is it always me who gets hurt? Obviously, instead of engaging the United States, Japan, and South Korea, you are running to Spain, why are you bullying us again?

Why don't you bully Portugal by the way? France is also very close, Britain is just to the north, it is better to go to the Mediterranean, Africa, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia, why do you have to go back to East Asia? Moreover, East Asia is East Asia, and there is a huge China in the west, so why don't you go and harm China?

The Japanese people are thinking ill-intentionedly, but they are still helpless how to deal with this new whale disaster, and if there is a way, their whaling industry and merchant marine industry will not be finished. …,

Although according to the situation of the last whale disaster, the whale disaster monsters often avoid the navy when they encounter it, which seems to indicate that the navy can suppress the monsters, but the monsters are too flexible in the sea, and the navy can't catch them!

Send the navy to guard the farms? Unrealistic, not only are there not so many warships, but the cost of the navy is very high, and it will be a loss for Japan as a country to maintain a small aquaculture industry. What's more, the Diaoyu Islands have been in trouble with China recently, and the navy is powerless.

"Why don't we ask the United States for help?"

Others couldn't help but shake their heads, last time the United States was also targeted by the whale disaster because it helped Japan, and later South Korea was also hit by the whale disaster in order to help the United States. Although I don't know why the whale plague attacked Spain, all countries have now understood that they should not take the initiative to provoke the whale plague, otherwise they will be asking for trouble.

The prime minister sighed secretly, leave it to fate, it's a big deal, the guy on the right wing is ambitiously preparing to come to power, so it's good to give that guy a headache.

The meeting lasted for a whole day, but it turned out that nothing was done, and the bigwigs patted their butts and were about to go home to sleep, when the secretary rushed in and reported: "There is an accident at the Jishinamu Farm in Iwate Prefecture......"

The bigwigs glanced at each other, and the prime minister said weakly: "Got it, dismiss the meeting." ”

High-ranking officials of the Ministry of Fisheries lamented, and one of them said, "Shall we sell all our fisheries companies to other countries?" ”

"How can it be so easy to sell? There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the last time the shipping company wanted to sell it, those hateful foreigners were stunned to drive down the price of cabbage. ”

One of the high-ranking officials, who presumably owns the fishery industry in Iwate Prefecture, exclaimed, "Why am I so unlucky? I'm going to go bankrupt, I didn't do anything wrong, right? ”

The prime minister walked over, patted the man on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's not you who is wrong, it's the world." ”

On August 25, Tiannan University opened, and Ao Tang did not go as usual.

On August 28, Ao Tang returned to Spring City and celebrated Chen Yuanyuan's birthday with Mi Lu. Watching TV while eating, the news channel is showing continuous reports of whale disasters. From last year to now, except for a two-to-three-month hiatus in the first half of this year, whale disasters have always been the highlight of news channels in various countries.

Ao Tang muttered, "It's good that the production of abalone in Japan is low, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell it." ”

Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan both nodded, Ao Tang snatched all the abalone in Japan, that is, the annual output of 2,000 tons, and put it in China's abalone production, although 2,000 tons is a lot, but it is not much, and it will not attract special attention. In the final analysis, there is no essential difference in the quality of Japanese abalone and Chinese abalone, and it is only the brand that is expensive.

Chen Yuanyuan said: "If there is any Japanese specialty that other countries do not have, you can't sell it if you grab it, so as not to be suspicious." ”

Ao Tang laughed, and saw another piece of news, although the aquaculture industry in the United States, South Korea, and Spain was not attacked by this whale disaster, but they were also sold to other countries, which seemed to be a cup of the bow.

Seeing Ao Tang's pride, Mi Lu said: "After all, the United States is the world's number one power, and their military institutions and scientific research institutions must be stepping up research on whale disaster countermeasures, and what special technology may be able to be developed?" ”

Ao Tang nodded, he is also a human being, of course he knows the power of human beings, he can go to the moon for nine days, he can go down to the five seas to catch turtles, and the power of science and technology should not be underestimated.

As he spoke, the doorbell rang.

The three little octopuses, who were enjoying their birthday cakes, raised their heads and crawled to the corners of the sofa and cupboards. Chen Yuanyuan sat closest to the door, walked over and looked at the cat's eye, and immediately opened the door. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
