244 Observation and Imagination
It is one of the few clearly identified organisms in the Weishi Weili Peninsula so far, and it is a special product of the swamp flats on the east coast of the peninsula, especially in this Fuya Bay under the Shrike Cliff, which is preliminarily confirmed to be non-toxic and harmless, and the Ministry of Non-Human Affairs has docked the research project of this species to the Ministry of Agriculture, and will soon launch the joint food nutrition and safety certification.
Brother Qiong's light was no longer only shining in the sea water of the small pit in front of Scarlet's feet, but also moved happily to the arc of the stone ball in the stone crevice. The poor little scaly shrimp had a slightly reddish back shell that had lost its transparent luster. Probably fainted a long time ago, lying motionless on the curved surface.
The small-scale shrimp is originally a quagmire thing, and only crawls out of the burrow in the mud after the tide recedes, and feeds on the marsh flat, but it cannot withstand the sun, so it can only be limited to the surface of the silt.
Scarlet turned her head to look at the wet swamp beach she had just crossed, and then at the reef group, and secretly wondered, could it be that this small-scaled shrimp was stupid, miscalculated the tide, and crawled out of its burrow when the sea still covered the tidal flat, and then was forced to drift with the tide at low tide, and was pushed onto the stone ball by the broken waves?
Or did the small-scale shrimp follow its inner rhythm and crawl out of the burrow on time after the tide receded, but was too adventurous to accidentally climb out of its home and onto the reef?
In any case, Crimson is now interested not only in the cobblestone balls, but also in the small-scale shrimp that is always stuck to the cobblestone balls. You know, it has been lying on its stomach on the smooth side of the stone ball, and it looks like it is dying, but it can always stay there. Is the interfoot suction of small-scale shrimp so strong?
Scarlet wondered. Because the small-scale shrimp is a research project that has been established for a long time, and because she is the head of the robot management of the non-human department, she has the obligation to learn more about biological characteristics in the coexistence and interaction with the tamarind creatures, so she decided to take a good look at the details of the small scale shrimp and the surface of the stone ball, and maybe add more attribute characteristics to the small-scale shrimp under the shrike cliff.
She stepped over the central hollow of the reef beneath her feet.
The bio-detection system loaded on the communicator pushed a picture of the lone small-scaled shrimp on the stone ball. Compared to when I first arrived, the scene of shrimp and other creeping intertidal creatures on the swamp beach was much more deserted.
The detection system is still dutifully annotated next to the squayptune with the description given to the squayster by the Department of Species Taxonomy of Science.
The auxiliary guards behind Scarlet obviously received the same push reminder and followed Scarlet unhurriedly.
When she was about two steps away from the stone ball, she stopped. She was blocked by the outer edge of the two flat reefs holding the stone balls.
She half-crouched down, pulled down the hat that was not very useful, and let her line of sight be level with the stone ball, and looked in through the viewing window of the protective hat.
She has always been a serious and rigid person, so she always remembers that in the current update of the third edition of the field work wearing protection manual, it is written: the protective hat does not need to be worn during the operation, but it can be worn independently when it is in a very close distance with the work object or when the individual thinks it is necessary to wear it.
Now it's very close, and that's what she thinks needs to do.
The viewing window of the protective hat did not change the brightness of the light on Brother Joan. She could still see very clearly, the small scale shrimp's fine and even some fragile feet were caught on the surface of the stone sphere, and she really didn't know how it did it.
Shrimp feet secrete mucus? Do shrimp have suction cups on the soles of their feet? Scarlet wondered, and continued to observe another detail. It must have four long tentacles on its head, only one of which was attached to the surface of the stone ball at this moment, and the other three seemed to be broken, and the fracture was straight against the stone ball, if it was not broken, it seemed that these tentacles were inserted straight into the stone ball.
"Chief Yan, what did you find?" In the distance, Ke Ideal shouted.
Scarlet was about to answer, but suddenly her heart moved, why was it so close, her geological and mineral systems did not push a special hint to her about the stone ball, obviously it still has something special in the reef group.
"Chief Yan......" Xu Jincai shouted, seeing that Scarlet was still standing with his waist bowed, he couldn't help but turn his head and smiled, "Old Peng, I'll go over ...... too" He paused, and saw Scarlet stretched out his right arm, and his wrist swung towards them.
But she didn't look back, she kept staring ahead.
Scarlet slowly stepped back, not even giving a word to the auxiliary guards. She knew that the auxiliary guards were always with her. She also knew that on the Oji-Ori Peninsula, the Auxiliary Guard and her loaded knowledge system of environmental information were the same, with or without prompts, all of them were synchronized, and the Auxiliary Guard could not be more sensitive than her.
"Let's take a look." Peng Feng and the others tightened their faces and rushed towards where Scarlet was located.
Scarlet slowly stepped back, staring intently at the stone ball, and finally focused her eyes on the junction between the stone ball and the small scale shrimp.
Yes, now it is not the junction of the small-scale shrimp and the stone ball, but the junction of the stone ball and the small-scale shrimp. The poor little scaly shrimp that couldn't move was lying on the stone ball, but she had already thought the other way around. The three tentacles of the small scale shrimp look like they are broken and pressed against the stone ball, and there is another possibility that the three tentacles are not broken, and the remaining parts that cannot be seen are not in the stone ball?
The visuals are the same.
The three tentacles were stuck, or bitten, enough to lift the poor little scale shrimp, no matter how smooth and weird the position of the sphere, only when the sun was enough, the small scale shrimp was completely dehydrated, and the limbs were crispy, it could break off its tentacles and fall down.
Now the poor little scaly shrimp has a reddish dorsal shell, but it is not yet at the last moment, so it can still be hung by tentacles, and it looks like the soles of its feet are firmly attached to the surface of the stone sphere.
Scarlet felt that such a conjecture could be valid.
Footsteps rang out on the reef behind her. She stretched out her right arm and pressed her palm back again. The footsteps became lighter.
Even though she didn't explain, the auxiliary guard had already seen something strange in her expression and movements, and took the first step in front of her, entering a state of alert.
The jet-black ball did not change in the slightest, except for the hanging of a small-scale shrimp that was almost dead, and its composure was really no different from that of a stone.
"What's wrong?" Peng Feng's voice was muffled. Needless to say, the other auxiliary guard he brought with him rushed to the front, and together with his fellow auxiliary guards, they both blocked a protective barrier.
"The balls in front are weird. I've summoned the Fellow and the Hunter back to do a hunting observation. Scarlet replied methodically, turning her head and asking softly, "Chief, do you think it's a living thing, or a non-living thing?" ”
"Retreat." Peng Feng spit out a low drink, and Xu Jincai had already had a weapon in his hand and hid the scarlet silk beside him.
The group hurriedly retreated, and Scarlet felt that Peng Feng had left less than a second for Ke Ideal to observe, but everyone hugged and retreated, and she was wrapped in it, so she didn't say anything, and followed quickly.
