Six Hundred and One. Fighting Wits and Courage (1/?)
I was a guest at a friend's house today, and we went out to play together during the day, so the update is late. Now that Danke has just returned to his home, he immediately began to update the code, working hard...
Qin Shiou took the ipad and took a look. The photo showed a colorful shrimp, lobster!
The overall color of this lobster is blue, but there are large and small colored spots and plaques on the back shell, which looks very beautiful. These colors are intertwined, making the lobster's back brilliant like a starry sky.
He flicked the screen, and the following series of photos were of lobsters. The number of these lobsters was about dozens, hiding in the crevices of a reef, and it was obvious at a glance that this was a small population.
Qin Shiou is very familiar with this kind of lobster. This is the first batch of lobsters that were infected with Galfia bacteria and rescued by the energy of Sea God. At the beginning, he noticed that the color of these lobsters' carapaces changed. Now as the lobsters grow up, the color changes. It is becoming more and more obvious.
Balzac and others looked at Qin Shiou excitedly, and asked repeatedly: "How is it? How is it? Is it a new species? They have never appeared before, right? Look at the number, although it is not much, but it is obviously enough. A small population, it's just amazing!"
Why are scientific research ships running around the world? Explore the mysteries of marine species! For them, the greatest glory is the discovery of a new species.
New species are often named after the discoverers. Experts on a scientific research ship once discovered a new species of seal in Antarctica, but Balzac has not made any achievements in this regard.
Think about it, if there is a kind of shrimp called Balzac lobster in the world, and it is so beautiful. That picture is so beautiful Balzac was drunk.
Qin Shiou had no idea about the naming rights of species, but looked at the excited experts. He still smiled: "Do you want to study it? Ok, if you are willing to give me British Columbia spotted abalone. Then you can study it as you like."
It just so happens that he lacks a chance to show this starry sky-back shell lobster. If the experts give an explanation, no matter whether it makes sense or not, it will be very good.
Hearing what Qin Shiou said, the experts were not happy again. They collected these B.C. piebald abalones after traveling around the North American waters for so long. How could they be willing to give them to Qin Shiou?
Balzac tried his best to persuade: "Look, this is a good opportunity to make your fishery famous. If you find a new lobster species in your fishery, then you can gain both fame and fortune. This new type of lobster is very ornamental. You can sell for a high price."
Qin Shiou said: "If you want to catch my lobster, you have to pay the price. What I want is abalone. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
Neither side would budge.
The conversation broke up again.
Qin Shiou reckoned that the members of the expert team must be regretting not catching the lobster before he came back. Otherwise, where are these things?
He guessed that these people would also play the same tricks. Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of those experts, could he not guess what these people's wishful thinking was?
But Qin Shiou didn't say anything, he just gave orders to Huzi and Leopard. Let them hide around the beach to spy on these fish farmers.
In the evening, the experts finally caught a leatherback turtle, but took it up for a look. They found that the tortoise did not have their marks on it, so they had to put the tortoise into the water unhappily.
The great leatherback turtle is inexplicable. What's the point of catching and touching it and then throwing it away? It glanced contemptuously at a group of experts, then ducked into the bottom of the sea with its head shrunk.
The evening St. John's news showed today's fisherman's parade. The activity escalated in the afternoon, and other fish farmers came from Nova Scotia and Quebec to support them. This time the government was alarmed, and the government promised to give them an explanation after discussing with the Ministry of Fisheries.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sun completely fell below the sea level, and a leather raft was lowered from the scientific research ship. Balzac looked in the direction of the villa surreptitiously, and found no one, so he took two assistants and got on the leather raft with confidence. raft.
"Look, that kid is still immature after all, does he think we are brainless? Yes, we promise not to touch his fishery, but there is a premise, the premise is that his fishery will not affect our scientific research work. "An assistant said triumphantly.
Balzac was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, we are doing something bad after all, so let's keep a low profile."
Another young assistant argued: "No, teacher, we are doing scientific research. In the kingdom of science, there are only contributions and no stealing. We have not done anything shameful."
Balzac acquiesced to the meaning of the two, and said: "What I am worried about now is that these lobsters are just some small mutants. If that is the case, our efforts will be of little value."
The three of them were only focused on discussing and did not see a small figure leaving quietly.
The one who left was naturally the tiger. It crawled on the ground and walked cautiously. After getting far away from the sea, it got up and ran to the villa quickly.
Seeing the tiger rushing to find him, Qin Shiou understood that Balzac and others had made a move. As he knew, facing the temptation of a new species, these people who are obsessed with scientific research could not bear it after all.
Following Huzi, Qin Shiou went to find the leopard who had been monitoring the kayak. The little leopard was lying on the beach. On the sea not far away, a kayak floated slowly with the waves, and three figures were standing on it. Busy.
Qin Shiou nodded to the second little tiger and leopard, and immediately, two loud dog barks broke the silence of the night: "Wow, woof, woof!"
As soon as they heard the barking of the dog, the three people on the boat who deployed the shrimp trap silently shivered together, and then a flash of light shone on them through the darkness. Balzac looked back, but was caught The iodine tungsten light was so harsh that I couldn't open my eyes, so I could only cover my face.
Seeing Balzac cover his face, Qin Shiou thought that the old man had no face to face him, so he saved some face for them, and said relaxedly: "Hey, Mr. Professor, are you here on the sea at this time to enjoy the moon? ?”
Hearing Qin Shiou's teasing voice, Balzac's old face flushed, and he said with a sneer: "Yeah, hehe, moonlight..."
He looked up at the night sky, it was dark, the weather was bad, there would be no moon at all.
Helpless, after being arrested, Balzac hurried back to the No. 2 scientific research ship. Qin Shiou watched them leave the fishing ground and go to the hotel in the town, and couldn't help laughing.
Even so, the stubborn experts refused to trade abalone with Qin Shiou as a bargaining chip.
Private property is sacred and inviolable, which is stipulated in the Canadian Constitution, so Qin Shiou does not allow them to catch fish and shrimp from their own fishing grounds, so the experts just can't do it.
But they also have a way, which is to seek the right to conduct fishing research in the Daqin Fishing Ground from the Ministry of Fisheries in the name of discovering new species.
They have a way, and so does Qin Shiou. He used the sea god's consciousness to control these abalones and put them into a dormant state.
The dormant state of abalone occurs when the water temperature and oxygen content in the water are insufficient. It is not common in the ocean, but it is not uncommon in fish tank culture. (To be continued..)
