Chapter 212: Deep sea axe fish
The terrible Devil's Wave just now originated from the deep sea several kilometers below. In addition to stirring up the water of more than tens of billions of tons, it also brought some unlucky deep-sea fish onto the water.
These deep-sea fish are an out-and-out gift.
From this point of view, the wave of the devil is more like the test of the ocean to humans. If you withstand the wave of the devil, you will receive a gift. If you can't stand it, go and go with the deep-sea fish.
The first person to discover a deep-sea fish was a sailor.
This guy was almost scared to pee in the Devil's Wave incident. As soon as the sea surface calmed down, he couldn't wait to come to the "toilet", intending to pee soaked urine to pressure him.
The "toilet" on the alien sailing ship, of course, cannot be as fully equipped as the earth ship, with a separate compartment and a flush toilet installed in it.
The toilet of Haichao is so crude that it is actually a thick wooden board protruding from the ship wall below the second deck.
A large hole was taken out of the plank. This is a special squat position for the "upper large". The excrement from the "furnace" will fall directly into the sea below from the hole.
For the alien turtles, the ocean is the most natural toilet, a super toilet covering most of the planet.
In order to prevent the tragedy of "falling into the toilet" when the wind is high and the waves are violent, a fence is thoughtfully installed around the wooden planks.
The sailor's habit is rather unique. He prefers to watch this kind of "water column falling from a height" scene, so he was "stunned" while staring at the sea carefully.
As a result, the servant suddenly discovered that there was a black shadow flashing underwater.
Judging from the shape and movement of the black shadow, he immediately realized that it was a marine fish, and its swimming speed was extremely slow. According to the length of the shadow, its body length was no more than 2 meters, and it was only a medium-sized marine fish.
But the question is, how can marine fish appear in the sea during the storm season? Don't they all hide under calm water? Why didn't I run when I saw the sailboat?
"Brother Shock" also noticed that there seemed to be more than one marine fish underwater, and in just one minute, he saw several dark shadows.
School of fish!
This must be a school of fish.
This discovery was immediately reported to the sailor, and then passed to the first officer Rudolf's ears.
So Lutherford called a few sailors, took out a medium-sized fishing net, and tried to catch the fish.
Unlike the previous White-tailed Sparrow, Haichao is a multi-functional sailing vessel, equipped with almost everything on board, including two all-steel fish cages.
When the magic motive dragged the fishing net up, everyone was surprised when everyone saw the marine fish in the fishing net.
There are only 6 or 7 fish in the fishing net. From the appearance, they are the same kind of fish. They look weird. Even an old sailor with 20 years of experience as a fisherman has never seen this kind of fish.
Although these turtles don't have much knowledge, they can guess that most of them are deep-sea fish, and they must be related to the waves of the devil.
These marine fish are about 1.5 meters long, very flat, less than 30 cm wide, and have a very strange appearance. From the side, they look a bit like an axe. "Axe fish" should be a more appropriate name.
They have white scales, slightly transparent, and faintly visible skin. The head accounts for a large proportion of the body, almost more than 1/3. A pair of fish eyes are also surprisingly large, almost the size of two fists, and they are still upward. Bulge up.
The mouth of the fish has been kept open, and it seems that it cannot be closed. The mouthful and sharp teeth are clearly visible. It looks hideous and ugly. From the position of the mandibular joint, the angle of their mouths may be more than 120 degrees, which is enough to be called "blood." The basin has a big mouth".
Judging from the habit of axe fish in groups, it is clear that this is a group of ferocious predatory deep-sea fish, accustomed to collective hunting.
In addition, the waves of the devil must not only entrap these unlucky fish, there are definitely shallow sea fish, but why only axe fish caught in the fishing net?
This is also related to the body structure of deep-sea fish.
They live in deep sea areas all year round, where the water pressure is very huge. According to the mentally retarded algorithm of 10 meters at one atmosphere, such as 3000 meters deep underwater, the water pressure is equivalent to 300 atmospheres.
In order to adapt to this terrible pressure, deep-sea fish have embarked on a unique evolutionary path.
This road can be described in one word: Use softness to overcome rigidity!
Their bones are generally thin and soft, easy to bend, muscle fibers are denser, and even the fish skin becomes very thin. In other words, their flexibility is particularly good.
As a result, the huge pressure exerted by the sea on the fish is transferred to the body.
To be precise, the seawater transferred to the body allows the high-pressure seawater to resist the high-pressure seawater.
But this also brings a side effect, that is, it is only resistant to high pressure, not low pressure, unless it is some powerful alien species, such as deep-sea fish that have been strengthened by magical energy.
But axe fish are not included in this list, they are predators, yes, but they are just ordinary fish.
When the axe fish unfortunately got on this "deep sea elevator", their lives entered a countdown. The drastically reduced external pressure broke the balance of internal and external pressure, causing them to suffer serious internal injuries in an instant.
Therefore, after the devil's wave subsided, the shallow-water marine fish that "ridden the wrong elevator" immediately dived underwater, and the axe fish was about to burp and couldn't go.
Then, the news of "found deep-sea fish" made a sensation on the ship.
Elon immediately asked Ruderford to organize a large-scale fishing, and before leaving the sea to go to Boot Island, he should catch as many deep-sea fish as possible.
Because no one knows how long the upcoming storm will last. Before the storm ceases, the Ocean Tide can only stay on the Boot Island, and prepare more fresh food to be prepared.
Even if there is no shortage of food on the ship, those foods are almost all pickled and sun-dried foods. No one wants to eat that stuff every day. What's more, this is also a reserve for transportation to Midway Island. Try not to consume it if you can.
The deck of Haichao quickly became very lively. Almost all the sailors and the island guards crowded on the deck to watch this extraordinary salvage activity with enthusiasm.
Even on the earth with advanced navigation technology, there are very few people who have the privilege of witnessing deep-sea creatures, let alone otherworldly turtles, so of course, all those who are free will come to watch.
Since most of the deep-sea fish are on the verge of death, or have already died, the fishing process is very easy and enjoyable, and wherever dark shadows are found, it is enough to cast nets wherever they are.
The fishing activity only lasted less than an hour, and the harvest was not too rich. The fish caught were less than 1,000, and the total weight was less than 80 tons. Most of them were axe fish, but there were also several other types of fish. , Looks ugly in general.
This is also another typical feature of deep-sea fish: anyway, it's so black that you can't see it, so you don't have to worry about the image.
This disappointed everyone, but Renault felt it was normal.
Because the deep sea is not like some people imagine, there are endless schools of fish, all kinds of small fish, big fish and giant fish.
On the contrary, the deep sea is very barren, and the marine fishes living here are all bitter among the fish.
The fundamental reason lies in the sunshine.
In the ocean, sunlight is the source of almost all energy. Phytoplankton converts inorganic matter into organic matter through photosynthesis. They are also the first layer of the food chain.
But in the deep-sea area, to be precise, below the "dull zone" of the deep sea, sunlight cannot penetrate, and darkness is the eternal theme.
On the earth, the starting depth of the matte zone is 1000 meters. In another world, even though the sun is slightly stronger, the depth will not be much worse.
Without sunlight, there will be no phytoplankton, which means that there is not enough food. Naturally, there are far fewer fishes living here than the rich ocean surface.
What do deep-sea fish mainly eat?
The answer is that the food debris or other fish remains that fall in the upper seawater, that is to say, they are a group of garbage pickers.
But relying on such a little bit of garbage, of course the deep-sea **** people can neither eat well nor have enough to eat, so what should we do?
Regarding this problem, the normal way of solving this problem falls on the four words "increasing income and reducing expenditure."
Let me talk about open source first.
What is open source? Just go to other places to get more food. For example, you can swim hundreds of kilometers up there. Those begging for food know that if you can’t find food here, then change to another place.
Unfortunately, the deep-sea fish refused to do this, not because of their strong self-esteem, but because-it is very dangerous.
MMP, it's not that labor and management don't want to swim up, they will explode in place as soon as they go up!
Even if it can be carried, the upper layer of food is correct, but there are many predators, and maybe it will be delivered to you.
Of course, there are freaks and alien species created by magic in the alien world, and they are not included in this discussion.
(There is also a particularly awesome fish on the earth, such as deep-sea cod, which can dive to nearly 3000 meters at the deepest and can also float to the surface)
Since the source of income is not enough, there is only a throttling.
How to throttle?
Just to save money, no, save energy, useless organs, all labor and capital are not needed.
I heard that the buddy in the shallow sea has a fish bladder, which is full of gas, and depends on whoring up and down. Our deep-sea men don’t need this stuff, we cut it!
Life in the deep sea is too stressful, not to mention the waste of energy in the swim bladder, it is also prone to puncture tragedies, no, blow bladder tragedies.
It is not enough to "cut the kidney", energy can also save flowers.
Muscles are a big energy consuming user, and lying still can consume energy, but you can't avoid it. It really makes the "fish" entangled, so let it be less important.
Fat, let's... No, the deep sea is too cold, so if you can't wear a down jacket, it will be more fat.
Just keep your mouth open. It takes a lot of effort to switch on and off, and you have to open it wider so that you can pick up **** wherever you swim, and you can pick up more.
However, despite all the efforts made, it is still inevitable to go hungry every day.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Didn’t you say that if you don’t eat enough, you are more hungry, it will increase your lifespan and reduce diseases, so we don’t call it starvation, it’s Xiuxian, you know?
Don't laugh, many problems are caused by eating up, understand?
In addition, it is not wrong to have enough food, but there are fewer predators.
We immortal cultivators feel that life is difficult. There are few fish willing to cultivate immortals, and naturally there will be no more predators.
The land is wide and there are few enemies. What does this show?
High security!
It is precisely because the deep sea is pushing so hard that there are too many deep-sea fishes, even though the area of the Devil's Wave is surprisingly large. In fact, there are not many deep-sea fishes that have caught up.
After catching enough fish, Elon gave an order, and the Haichao set sail again.
