I'm sleepy, brothers and sisters, vote for it! ****

Qin Shiou hurriedly bit not only his own little guy, but also the fish, shrimp, crabs, mussels and turtles in the fishing ground, Balzac laughed and said: "Don't worry, my little man, we are here to do research, not to be butchers." ”

The people even gave a guarantee, Qin Shiou had nothing to say, so he let the scientific expedition No. 2 stay on the dock and took them to the town to eat and stay, of course, they paid for it themselves.

During the meal, Qin Shiou deliberately took them to Father Hickson, and specially told Daddy to slaughter these people ruthlessly, he hoped to drive them away in this way.

As a result, there are not a single poor person on the research ship, and even if they do not use the scientific research funds given by the state, the mere contribution of their own studies to famous magazines such as "Nature" and "Ocean" is enough to earn funds that can be squandered.

Knowledge culture can be translated into money.

Walking through the streets of the town in the spring after eating, Balzac and Duff and his party showed intoxication on their faces, and Duff muttered: "Look, the spring breeze, the green grass, the red flowers, and the birds chirping, how enchanting the scenery of my hometown is." ”

"Yes, it's beautiful, and what we've been doing is preserving it, protecting the oceans," Balzac said. ”

When Qin Shiou heard them say this, he felt that it was true that people did not come for the idea of beating his fishing grounds, and his own appearance was like; Some of the chickens had their stomachs, so they dismissed the plan of the United Hotel owner to slaughter these people.

Before the people on the scientific research ship started working, Qin Shiou hurriedly used his Poseidon consciousness to send those guys who didn't see many people to the bottom of the deep sea, such as schools of bluefin tuna. For example, the hideous and terrifying sea snake, such as the black overlord with amazing body length......

The next day. Balzac and the others did not study the leatherback turtle in the first place, but first sorted out the information on their ship.

Word. Balzac invited Qin Shiou to visit on the boat, and when Winnie made a request, he did not refuse, a very generous and honest old gentleman.

Qin Shiou originally thought that the length of the scientific research No. 2 ship was about 50 meters, but when he boarded the ship, he found that he had underestimated the ship, which was 70.5 meters long, 13.84 meters wide, 8.03 meters deep, 7.17 meters draft, and 3424 tons of displacement. Accommodation for 26 researchers is available.

Duff is a very personable scholar, and he even personally led Qin Shiou and Winnie on a tour, and talked about the facilities on the ship:

"In order to obtain some large items, we are equipped with cranes at the end of the ship, which can easily grab ten tons of seabed boulders, remember the Martian DD42 meteorite? It was it that grabbed it, and look at its big claws, how powerful! ”

"The DPS1 dynamic positioning system was used on board, and an ice-class reinforced multibeam sonar system and an acoustic Doppler flow profiler were installed. There are 75kHz and 150kHz respectively, with a long coring capacity. If your ship is going to change the positioning system, then I recommend using DPS1. ”

"Our boat is very quiet, so you will be invited to experience it the next time it starts. This facilitates fish research. Although the ship is not an icebreaker, it is designed to sail at 2 knots in 2.5 feet of ice, which is remarkable. Is that right? ”

"The ship is equipped with a modern winch with a 10,000-meter-long cable, including a deep-sea traction winch, a thermohaline depth measurement winch, and a hydrographic winch. Our colleagues can collect samples directly from the seabed. A set of hose winches can be remotely controlled via a computer to raise and lower scientific equipment. Manipulating research instruments to probe the water column and the seafloor. ”

"On top of that, we have satellite receivers on board that can transmit information in real time to classrooms around the world, even at the South and Arctic......"

Duff showed the two of them around the ship's facilities, and then walked into a cabin filled with rare sea creatures they had collected for study.

In this way, Qin Shiou's eyes were opened, and he saw many strange creatures that could not be seen by the sea god's consciousness at the bottom of the sea, such as luminous fish that could shine in the dark, batfish with terrifying appearance, scorpion fish like a reef, electric rays with a short temper, and so on.

"What kind of fish is this?" Winnie asked, pointing to a small, pale cyan fish with an elongated oval body and a rounded outline on the back of its head.

Du Fu smiled and was about to be introduced, Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said: "California Tsing Yi, a very strange fish, it is said that they are all females when they are born, and only when they grow into adults do they partially transform into males. ”

After listening to Qin Shiou's words, Du Fu nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, their habits are very strange, they are one of our research subjects, and we want to know if their sex changes are related to hormone secretion." ”

"What's the use of that?" Winnie asked.

At this moment, Qin Shiou was speechless, Du Fu smiled and said: "It is very useful, you know, many animals and fish are now in a state of imbalance in the ratio of male to female, and even some animals and fish have only one or two females or males left, which may become extinct at any time." ”

"If the cause of the metamorphosis in Tsing Yi in California is studied, it may be applied to those animals and fish that are on the verge of extinction, right?" Qin Shiou added.

Duff snapped his fingers and laughed, "Exactly!" ”

Qin Shiou continued to walk forward, behind the bony fish was shellfish, he suddenly shrank his gaze, pointed to the dozens of large and small abalone in the fish tank in front of him and asked: "Oh my God, don't tell me, this is the BC spotted abalone?!" ”

These abalone are covered with a thick calcareous half-faceted shell that resembles a large ear and is a right-handed spiral. While most abalone shells are dark greenish-brown in color, these shells have delicate spots on them that make them look as beautiful as the legendary BC spotted abalone.

After Qin Shiou asked, Duff smiled and said: "You have a lot of knowledge, my man, yes, this is the British Columbia spotted abalone, it is rare now, we only found such 55 in Alaska, and there is no more to find it." ”

BC spotted abalone, the world's top abalone, known as the freshest in the seven seas, is not only delicious but also very nutritious.

This abalone has strict requirements for the living environment, it needs to grow in absolutely clean cold water, and the growth rate is very slow, it takes ten years to grow from abalone fry to the size of a young child's palm!

BC spotted abalone was once a national treasure of Canada, but unfortunately due to environmental pollution and people's crazy overfishing, they have now disappeared, as early as ten years ago the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans issued a ban on the trade and capture of this abalone.

Qin Shiou's fishing grounds are now very rich in species, all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, mussels, turtles, and sea cucumbers are available, but there is a lack of sea cucumbers, and what he has always wanted to breed is the BC spotted abalone, because he believes that under the protection of the energy of the sea god, this kind of abalone will definitely become rich in resources again.

It's a pity that he hasn't found the shadow of the BC spotted abalone for more than a year, and now, the opportunity has finally come! (To be continued......) R1292
