"Xiao Qi, tell me about it, have you all been down for a long time, have you found anything amazing?" At this time, Li Lao looked at the people who surfaced, and suddenly couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted. 》x.[]

The expert who was called Xiao Qi was the eldest in Gu Hongyu's eyes just now, and now he was naturally called Xiao Qi by Li Lao, which always gave Gu Hongyu a strange feeling.

Taking off the respirator and eye mask, Expert Qi was pulled onto the shore of the lake, and said excitedly with a sigh of relief: "Li Lao, Meng Lao, ......this lake seems to have more types at the bottom of the lake than other inland lakes, along the way we saw all the lake mussels, crabs, red shellfish snails that exceed the same body shape, as well as a large school of fish, with dense algae, these situations are different from other lakes, what surprises us even more is that there is a siphon phenomenon at the bottom of the lake, the amount of water is very large, even if it is closer to more than ten meters, there is a strong feeling. ”

It turned out that the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake was a siphon, and Gu Hongyu was popularized again.

What Expert Qi expounded was still very objective, but the expressions of Professor Li and Professor Meng did not change, and they were only slightly surprised when they finally heard that there was a siphon phenomenon.

"Siphon at the bottom of the lake, this phenomenon also exists in other lakes, but it is very rare to have a strong induction of more than ten meters like you said, the depth of this dive should be more than 20 meters, the amount of water that siphon is indeed huge!" Li Lao analyzed.

Professor Meng also replied: "It's really weird, the water loss is so large, but the lake surface can't see the drop in the water level or other fluctuations, it seems that the amount of water coming from the Red Lake can only be greater than the amount of water siphoned away." But this is a desolate Gobi surrounded by it, and even if there is an underground water system, it can't be so big! ”

Not to be outdone, other experts spoke one after another.

According to one expert, "the life on the bottom of the lake is slightly larger than other lakes, and my opinion is that the lake is basically not exploited on a large scale, and it is not the result of the current mechanized development." ”

"Yes, I also agree with Lao Zhang's statement, when we see a school of fish weighing more than ten catties somewhere at the bottom of the lake, and those shellfish at the bottom of the lake basically accumulate years to develop into a large kind of Chengdù."

"Xiao Gu, this lake is contracted by you. Looks like you're going to have a great harvest this winter! ”

“……”

In the end, Professor Li asked the key question: "This time, you went down again and found boneless transparent fish and puffer fish." Could it be that these are the results? ”

This asked several experts who had just entered the water to look at each other, and Gu Hongyu didn't know what they found in half an hour.

An expert stood up at this time and said: "Elder Li, the underwater terrain of this lake is complex, and the depth is extremely inconsistent. The species of organisms are relatively diverse. I don't have anything else to discover about a few of us. However, such an environment meets the growing conditions for boneless transparent fish and puffer fish. ”

"What about you?" Professor Lee pointed to the other three.

Among the remaining three, two of them shook their heads in unison, indicating that there was nothing else to be gained from this trip. And the Qi expert among them slowly untied the small cloth bag on his waist at this time, and everyone's eyes were focused there.

What immediately appeared in front of everyone was a glass bottle the size of a teacup, filled with water, and in the bottle was something that Gu Hongyu had never seen before, it was like a small tube with a large end and a small end swimming in the water in the bottle.

Before Gu Hongyu could ask what this kind of thing was, an expert next to him exclaimed: "This, this is a fire insect, but how can this appear in an inland freshwater lake?" ”

Fire bugs? Gu Hongyu now knows the name of the "cut pipe" in the bottle in the hand of Expert Qi, but how can it be called a fire insect, thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Professor Meng, who was the most familiar in the crowd.

Of course, Professor Meng knew Gu Hongyu's appeal, so he gently teased: "Xiao Gu, the lake you contracted is really amazing, and now a new species has appeared, maybe when our country will requisition it for you!" ”

But listening to Gu Hongyu's ears was really shocking, if there were really many inexplicable creatures emerging one after another, then this lake really had the possibility of being nationalized.

But before Gu Hongyu could think about it, Professor Meng began to speak: "Now the creatures in the Xiaoqi bottle do look very similar to fire insects, but this kind of creatures have always been found in the ocean, and they have never been found in inland freshwater rivers, and I don't know how they can live in the Red Lake?" ”

"Fire bugs are not a single creature, but are made up of thousands of individual individuals. These vegetatively reproducing fire bugs can be as small as an eraser and as large as 18 meters long. Like many large marine animals, such as whale sharks, fire bugs are filter feeders that absorb seawater, which contains zooplankton. When they devour the plankton, they spit out the filtered seawater. ”

The creature, which looks like a tube that collects a lot of bubbles, which scientists call a "fire bug", is about 7 centimeters long and is a spherical aggregate organism that is the "inhabitant" of the aggregate. Each tiny individual acts like a pump to provide water and nutrients to the organism, allowing the aggregate to survive while also emitting light. Professor Li carefully followed Gu Hongyu, a little white, to popularize the knowledge of fire insects again.

Gu Hongyu unconsciously touched his head: "But the insect in front of you doesn't shine, how can you conclude that it is a fire body insect, what if they just look similar?" ”

Expert Meng laughed and said: "Xiao Gu, don't you look at who we are all writing about, these bits brought by Professor Li are all leaders in aquatic biology research, can this still deceive you?" ”

"Ah, well...... isn't it too shocking, didn't Li Lao just say that this thing lives under the ocean, and it's amazing to find it in this red lake again." Gu Hongyu smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go, we'll prove it when we get back!" Professor Li didn't ask much else now, so Ma San called someone to pack up the equipment and items on the field.

This is not far from the Kohongyu wooden house. Soon they returned to the makeshift tent, which was tightly covered at the moment, Gu Hongyu wanted to turn on the electric light, but Professor Meng went to stop him and said, "Xiao Gu, don't panic, now you can prove that what Xiao Qi caught back is not a fire insect?" ”

Looking at the surrounding environment, Gu Hongyu suddenly realized: "In a dark place, can fire insects shine?" ”

The crowd did not answer him, and the question was indeed a bit redundant.

Expert Qi then returned to the back of the tent, and without saying much, he carefully took out the bottle and placed it on the table, and soon Gu Hongyu saw that the strange "pipe" emitted a misty light. It's really a world full of wonders.

"How. This is the letter, right? After proving that this was the fire insect, the electric light in the tent was lit, and Expert Meng said with a smile on his face.

All the experts were immersed in joy, today is the first time to go into the water to have such a harvest, it is too smooth. From this point on, an idea also came to the minds of other experts. That is, there must still be species in Honghu that they have not seen.

If Gu Hongyu knew what they thought, he would definitely take it for granted. No, he now has such animals as blue snakes, electric eels, crocodiles, and pythons, but the Red Lake is eye-catching enough at the moment. He didn't have any intention of letting these animals out.

Expert Qi quickly replaced the fire insect in the small bottle into a larger aquarium, next to the boneless transparent fish and puffer fish that were begged by Expert Meng a few days ago, and many experts immediately surrounded them.

"Elder Li, Elder Meng, in addition to catching this fire body worm, I have other discoveries." Expert Qi didn't know when he came over.

"Oh, and discoveries? What did you find? "Elder Li was aroused, not only him, but also Expert Meng and Gu Hongyu on the side.

Expert Qi silently cleaned up and said calmly: "Under the bottom of the lake, I also found a kind of horseshoe crab (hou) worm, which looks like a dinosaur three-eyed shrimp, but this thing is very flexible at the bottom of the water, I didn't catch it." ”

"Dinosaur three-eyed shrimp, this creature has also been found in other parts of our country, it is a very common species, there is nothing unusual!" Expert Meng spoke at this time.

Expert Qi shook his head: "Old Meng, the dinosaur three-eyed shrimp I found this time is different from the ordinary one, not only is it big and its color is also golden, I don't know if it is an ordinary mutated individual, or other dinosaur three-eyed shrimp in the lake are like this?" ”

"Let's check this slowly, we still have plenty of time this time, plus Xiaogu guarantees us logistics, we don't have any worries, everyone will take root here before the temperature drops significantly!" Professor Li decided at this time.

"Okay, Lao Li, then we have company, not only there are many species of aquatic life here, but there are also many birds and terrestrial wildlife by the lake, when will I take you to the reeds on the other side of the lake to have a look, I am guaranteed to open your eyes!" Hearing Professor Li's words, Expert Meng immediately became happy.

Expert Qi sighed on the side at this time: "I found one thing here, that is, the Red Lake seems to have an inexplicable attraction to the surrounding creatures, and the general lake does not have so many novel species even if it is Qing~Hai Lake!" ”

"It's really full of too many mazes, waiting for us to reveal the truth to the world after the investigation, maybe there will be more surprises waiting for us in the future, everyone has worked hard during this time, and strive to make greater discoveries, so it's worth the trip!" Professor Li said with a smile.

"I think one of the secrets here may have a lot to do with the underground water system here, and I am afraid that many new creatures are brought to the Red Lake by the underground water system." Said an expert.

"The huge siphon at the bottom of the lake is also a secret."

"Anything is possible, let's calm down and take a good look at it, let's see what the final result is."

Gu Hongyu thought in his heart at this time that the existence of these creatures in the Red Lake was because of the fragments of the immortal source, and he didn't know if this lake would be so mysterious in the future!

He didn't come to the end of the underground water system, and Gu Hongyu also looked forward to having time to explore the unknown secret! (To be continued......) R640
