Qin Shiou carefully looked at these thieves, thieves, fat and fat insects, he didn't recognize them at first, but he suddenly remembered their identities, these things are ship maggots.

Don't look at the name disgusting to be called maggots, in fact, they are not insects, but a kind of clams, and the clams that Qin Daguan loves very much are close relatives, and the gooseneck barnacles that he loves more are distant relatives.

Outwardly, they are indistinguishable from some worms, but if you look at them with a magnifying glass, you can see that they actually have some very thin white shells on their heads, which they use to turn themselves into small drills and eventually burrow into the wood.

Ship maggots feed on wood, and from birth, they choose a piece of wood, burrow into it, devour it, digest it, and survive successfully.

There are many wood-feeding animals on land, which are rare in the ocean, and ship maggots are the only one seen so far, and this small thing can cause more than 10 billion damage to the world's marine transportation industry every year!

For example, in the summer of 2000, several wharves in Maine, USA, inexplicably collapsed, and the oak stakes supporting the piers were more than 9 meters long and 25 centimeters thick.

Something similar happened in Canada, in 1997, a pier in the southwest pier of Kazakhstan suddenly collapsed, and six people fell into the water.

In this way, Qin Shiou had an idea, why not cultivate a super ship maggot to disgust the Japanese?

He didn't know much about ship maggots, but when he was looking through books on marine biology, he came across them by chance and knew that they were a very tough pest in the fishing industry.

As the saying goes, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, and the dolphin butcher near Tokyo Bay is his enemy, and the ship maggot is also the enemy of the dolphin butcher. Wouldn't they be friends that way?

Qin Shiou swore that the ship maggot was the most disgusting friend in his life, but it was also the friend who could help him the most now.

However, he was still relatively new to this new friend, so he got up and searched for information. Thinking that there was a way to deal with those bay butchers, the Qin officials were extremely excited. I couldn't help but laugh.

Winnie slapped him and said shyly and angrily, "Why are you restless? Honestly lie down, the massage has just begun......"

Qin Shiou reached out to pick Winnie's chin with a hippie smile, and said lightly: "Little lady, what are you doing behind the scenes, brother, I want to listen to music now, blow a flute!" ”

"My daughter is here, virtuous!" Winnie grabbed something casually and threw it at Qin Shiou, and Brother Mink, who was flying in the air, had tears in his eyes. Why is it always me who gets hurt?

Qin Shiou turned on the computer and searched for it, and found that these disgusting little pot friends were really disgusting! Moreover, it is so appropriate to use them for revenge, they are called revenge experts!

Boat maggots feed on wood, or rather, they feed on cellulose, the main component of wood. Cellulose is an aggregate of sugar molecules that is rich in nutrients. However, other marine organisms cannot digest wood because they lack a substance in their bodies: cellulase.

This enzyme can open sugar molecules that are locked together. This is the basic condition for land animals to enjoy the nutrients in wood. Among marine organisms, only the bacteria in ship maggots secrete cellulase, so they have an extraordinary ability to digest wood.

In this way, the wood became a cake in their eyes, and a wooden ship sank with a click, click, click; Click, click, click. A pier pillar collapsed; Keep clicking, clicking, the port is going to be scrapped!

In addition, ship maggots are particularly ideal avengers, they can only survive in wood and can previously drift around the world with wooden boats. Where are there wooden boats now, they are all iron boats, so no matter how powerful the ship maggots made by Qin Shiou, it has no possibility of flooding.

Unless someone stupidly takes the wood containing the Super Ship Maggot to another dock, or the Poseidon Energy Modified Ship Maggot can eat iron, they will not be able to leave Tokyo Bay.

Just do it, after Qin Shiou sent the dolphins out of Tokyo Bay, he immediately mobilized all the four sea god consciousnesses back, and attacked everywhere to find wood along the bay, and there were ship maggots in these woods.

Because of the different types of wood, the types and sizes of the ship maggots that lodge in them are also different, the small ones are only 2 cm to 3 cm long, while the large ones can grow up to 1 meter, which is the thickness of a baby's arm, like a snake!

Regardless of the type, Qin Shiou found the ship maggot and input the Seagod's energy into it, this time he made a lot of money, regardless of the cost, he can output as much as he can.

His purpose is only to allow these ship maggots to evolve as soon as possible, and then reproduce as soon as possible, as long as the super ship maggots breed, then Tokyo Bay will have to be renamed Tokyo Steel Bay in the future.

According to Qin Shiou's information, the ship maggot's reproductive ability itself is very strong, and it is particularly capable of laying eggs, which can produce about five million eggs per year.

When hatched, the larvae of ship maggots are initially small and invisible to the naked eye, so their presence cannot be detected, and by the time something is wrong, the ship maggot larvae are often already scattered throughout the area.

After swimming in the water for a stage, the larvae begin to attach to the wood, and their lives are very happy, and the wood can solve their food and lodging problems together, and even eat and live together.

As long as the larvae eat wood fiber, they will grow very fast, according to statistics, the larvae of ship maggots at this time can grow a hundred times in 16 days; It grows a thousand times in 36 days, and grows for about a month, then reaches sexual maturity and begins to lay eggs......

The more he understood, the more Qin Shiou felt that this thing was terrifying.

What aliens, dinosaurs, and blood parasites are not enough to see in front of this thing, as long as the size of ship maggots can be magnified tenfold, as long as they change their feeding habits to eat meat, then the end of the world will come immediately!

And even if the Japanese found the ship maggots in the future, they would probably have to catch the blind, and this thing was very difficult to deal with.

First of all, they are parasitic in wood, so if you want to completely exterminate them, you have to destroy all the surrounding wood, but is this possible?

Secondly, ship maggot larvae are so tenacious that conventional methods cannot kill them. Fire? No, they live in the wood, and once the fire is lit, the wood is gone. Frozen? Yes, but how do you freeze all the wooden piers at low temperature?

Even with chemical methods, it is difficult to deal with ship maggots, and the wood becomes their protective shell, and it is not easy to pass through the wood and act on the ship maggots.

The widespread method now is to use high pressure to inject chemicals into the wood, where these chemicals are slowly released and then kill ship maggots.

But just by looking at it, you can see how expensive it is to deal with ship maggots in this way!

And the cost is not the main reason for limiting the chemical method to get rid of ship maggots! (To be continued......)
