ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Golden Fishery", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter qdread), and quietly tell me! What appeared in the air was a big bird, the body length was more than 20 centimeters longer than the red-footed boobies, the whole body was black feathers, the beak was large and sharp, the tail was light like a swallow, flying in the air, the powerful wings were fanning, majestic!

This is the pirate bird, and the warship bird known as the king of the sky!

Yes, in Europe and the United States, the king of the sky is not the bald eagle, the national bird that Americans are proud of, not the golden eagle that roars in the blue sky, nor the bustard, but this kind of seabird that is not well-known in Asia.

Why is this domineering seabird so famous? Because they are in the sky, the table is truly stunning.

The warship bird has well-developed pectoral muscles, is good at flying, and is an extremely good pilot. They are as fast as lightning when they sprint, and they can fly at speeds of up to 418 kilometers per hour when hunting, ranking first in the world.

They can fly to an altitude of about 1,200 meters, and can fly non-stop to a place more than 1,600 kilometers away from the nest, and the farthest can reach about 4,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world in terms of endurance.

What's even more amazing is that the frigate birds can fly in a force 12 wind, and they can even complete safe take-off and landing in such a storm, you know, they have a wingspan of three meters, but they only weigh less than three pounds!

After swallowing the herring, the frigate bird turned its head and set a malicious glance on the other boobies, revealing a sign of their species, a blood-red throat pouch on its neck.

Boobies are not swallowed directly into their stomachs after fishing. They will temporarily rest in the pouch around their necks and vomit out in a panic, and all the frigate bird has to do is to make them panic and then eat the fish that falls.

"It's a big frigatebird." Nelson said to Qin Shiou.

Qin Shiou nodded, and secretly said in his heart that of course Lao Tzu knew that it was a big warship bird. Although there are many subspecies of the frigate bird, there is only one species in Canada.

Qin Shiou didn't hate this kind of bird with a bad reputation, he knew that the warship birds were forced to be robbers, their feathers had no oil and could not be wet. Otherwise, you will drown, so if you catch food yourself, you can only risk your life to catch a small number of fish close to the surface.

In addition, even if you want to get into the water to catch fish and then fly when your feathers are as little as possible in the water, the frigate bird will not be able to do it. They have large wings, small bodies, and short, thin legs. In this way, it is difficult for their thin legs to support their bodies to take off directly from the water like pelicans and cormorants.

In this way, in order to survive, what can the frigate birds not compete for the rations of other food?

Nature is so cruel to survive that if seabirds are allowed to burrow into the sea to take the lives of fish and octopuses, shouldn't warship birds be allowed to take food from seabirds?

Besides, the frigate birds did not take their food for nothing. At night, birds such as boobies and seagulls, which are preyed on during the day, often gather around the frigate birds because of their fierce temperament. Dare to fight against poisonous snakes and wild beasts.

In Qin Shiou's view, the warship bird can be said to be the hei social organization among birds, you pay the protection fee, and Lao Tzu protects your safety.

Boobies are a species with a relatively high IQ among birds, and when they saw that the big warship bird with a big drop in the heart and eyes was aiming at him, the red-footed boobies quickly swept away. He flew to the bow of the open-headed boat, and shrank down from it.

Now the big warship bird was dumbfounded. It flew fast in the air, but it did not dare to challenge the open-headed boat. After flying a few laps, and seeing that there was no chance, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky!

"Damn, it's fast!" Qin Shiou directly exploded the national scolding, and Nelson over there was also national scolding: "! ”

Seeing the big warship bird leaving, the red-footed boobies shook their feathers and stood up, but they didn't fly directly, but looked at Qin Shiou curiously.

The tiger and leopard licked their mouths, wagged their little tails and fell down, and the birds crept along the sides of the boat to get closer to the red-footed boobies.

Qin Shiou didn't know the plans of these two guys, they were planning to take down these two boobies.

The red-footed boobies are good at flying and have extremely beautiful meat, which is why this bird, which once spread all over the west coast of the Atlantic, has become a nationally protected animal and a vulnerable species to extinction.

Qin Shiou whistled, and the tiger and leopard got up regrettably, turned around and ran back.

Looking at the red-footed boobies, Qin Shiou took out a palm-length herring from the bucket and threw it out.

The two boobies spread their wings and flew up, and their long beaks pointed up with precision, and they took the herring into their mouths at once.

Qin Shiou kept throwing the herring up, and the two boobies could catch more than half, and after eating four or five, they were full, and they shrank in the bow of the ship and began to make a 'coo' sound to rest.

Walking over slowly, Qin Shiou tentatively stretched out his hand, and the two boobies immediately stood up vigilantly, spread their wings and flew away.

Qin Shiou had an idea, grabbed another herring, and reached out.

At this moment, the two red-footed boobies relaxed and retracted their wings, and the slightly larger bird opened its mouth to pick up the fish, Qin Shiou wiped it on its neck, it shook its head, but did not resist.

Nelson laughed and said, "Boss, you've been with animals for a long time, do you have any breath on your body?" This bird is not even wary of you, I have never seen anything like this. ”

Qin Shiou knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he didn't continue to forcibly pet the two birds, waved his hand and said, "Let's go back, damn it, the sun is too big." ”

The open-headed boat broke through the waves and headed for the fishing grounds, and the two boobies rested on the bow of the ship, until they approached the pier, before they flapped their wings and flew up.

There were few days left without much to do, and Qin Shiou began to prepare to open up the coral reef on the bottom of the sea.

He first consulted the Australian Coral Reef Conservation Research Institute, and an expert told him that there are many ways to artificially create corals.

What is now attracting more attention is that some marine biologists in Australia have welded metal racks, including discarded bicycles, to the damaged areas of coral reefs on the seabed, and then connected the collected coral reef fragments to the racks, and finally connected the metal racks to the power supply.

Because electric current can promote the growth and reproduction of polyps, it can speed up the construction of coral reefs.

The expert spoke in quick succession, and finally he mentioned a recent research idea from the University of Sydney: the Modular Artificial Coral Reef Structural System (MARS System).

The core idea of this system is to make irregular structures with branches out of concrete, and then cover the surface with textured ceramics to facilitate the growth of marine flora and fauna.

Qin Shiou is not interested in the first method, he has learned about this so-called electrical stimulation method, which is not feasible at all, it is just a gimmick.

First, this kind of electrical stimulation method is very expensive and consumes a lot of electricity; Second, electrical stimulation of polyps is a means of killing chickens and taking eggs, just like giving polyps excitement to them.

He was a little interested in the last so-called MARS system. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
