Under the sea water, a green-ringed sea snake is hunting.
The hunter is hunting fiercely, and the prey is struggling fiercely.
Next to them, Feng Yi, who was wearing a diving suit, was quietly holding his mobile phone and pointing the camera towards them.
The mobile phone has been put on a waterproof case, and the shooting function is among the top configurations on the market.
The sea water is not particularly deep, and the light is acceptable. Sea snakes may not like locations where the water is too deep.
Now Feng Yi could clearly take pictures of sea snakes preying on eels.
It should be some kind of snake eel. Although it has the word "snake" in it, it looks like a snake at first glance, but it is still a fish. Many sea bloggers trick people into saying they caught snakes, but they actually caught eels that look like snakes.
Anyone who has been to an aquarium and seen eels knows that many eels like to hide half of the eels, or only expose a small section. Once someone approaches and is frightened, they will quickly retreat into the sand.
Now, this eel is hunted by a sea snake. Of course it wants to get back into the sand, but the sea snake won't let it.
The sea snake bites and doesn't let go, using the entanglement to continuously pull it. The sea snake's fierce force is also another kind of death strangulation.
Feng Yi lowered his presence and took pictures quietly.
Catching sea snakes is not just a task, he also regards the process as exercise.
After coming here for the past few days, he has already understood that maybe because of his own reasons, there are very few fish and snakes in the area near the shore.
People who arrived here before him said that there were people fishing here before, but now they go elsewhere if they can't catch them. Even people who catch sea snakes have to run far away to encounter sea snakes, and they can't even be seen when they get close.
Therefore, it is still a question of self-control.
Feng Yi put on a diving suit and went into the water during the day, practiced diligently for two days, and finally made significant progress.
At least the sea snake in front of me can ignore him when hunting for prey.
Feng Yi relied on his sense of smell and perception to know that there were sea snakes and eels here, not luck.
But he won’t tell anyone about this. Anyway, when others ask him, he will reply:
"As soon as I walked over, I saw snakes and eels twisting each other!"
"The twisting was extremely intense!"
"Then I raised my phone excitedly..."
When the sea snake finally pulls the eel out of the sand, Feng Yi will continue to follow and photograph it for a while, and then catch it back.
This is an ordinary green-ringed sea snake. It will be released after being taken back to record and sampled. However, there is a dedicated person to do the follow-up work. Feng Yi's task is only to catch the sea snake.
No, it’s not just about catching sea snakes.
Feng Yi also needs to sort out the video, edit it and post it online.
Not only can you complete the tasks given by the Publicity Office of the Joint Security Bureau, you can also practice your self-control skills and catch sea snakes.
Perfect!
Feng Yi was filming a sea snake swallowing an eel in the sea. At the same time, there was a small conference room at the monitoring station.
Several experts from different research fields gathered here to discuss matters. Not all of them were from the Sea Snake task force, some were attracted by Professor Shen's story.
"Could the sea snake that is suspected to be a new species not have lived in this area before? Could there be factors from Mo City involved?"
"It's possible that the mutation over there drove it away from its original living environment and it was discovered only when it came here. We can expand the search scope."
"But there is no evidence now, and the data collected there are still being analyzed, so we can only guess."
"Old Shen has suffered a serious crime this time, and he is still lying down."
"But he also seized opportunities that others did not have! I heard that he is still sorting out materials while lying on the hospital bed. It is estimated that he will be able to write a paper after he is discharged."
Speaking of these, it is inevitable to also talk about the original factory.
Not everyone values broad-spectrum antivenoms so much. Many people may never encounter a live snake in the wild in their lifetime, and the possibility of encountering highly venomous snakes is even lower. Most people have no need to use them at all. This "magic medicine".
They were just shocked by this research result, and the main reason why they paid so much attention to broad-spectrum antivenin drugs was that they knew that the Ancestral Factory had discovered more things that could create higher value in the process of researching this drug, such as that year The "Ancestor S" series of active substances that caused a global sensation, and the current "Ancestor Y" series are another example.
Anyone who knows the Ancestor Factory knows that the company was originally founded with the purpose of researching broad-spectrum antivenoms. Therefore, whether it is the "Ancestor S" that once caused countless waves, or the "Ancestor Y" that is currently gaining momentum, it is very likely that It has something to do with snake venom!
It’s not that no one wants to crack it. Everyone has speculated whether these two ancestor series of active substances were discovered from a certain kind of snake or certain types of snakes?
However, when it comes to studying snake venom, whether at home or abroad, there are so many people, so many powerful laboratories and teams. It can be said that all the known snakes existing on the planet have been tried, but none of them can crack it! Valley out
Therefore, some people later suspected that the so-called by-products of the research process of broad-spectrum antivenom drugs were just a cover they launched, a disguise to interfere with everyone's vision and make everyone's logic go astray?
Maybe it wasn't found in snakes?
Maybe some kind of plant or other animal on land or in the ocean?
After all, there are so many organisms with medicinal value in the world!
"They hide it very carefully! No one can find a trace of it at all."
"It would be the same for me! Such a powerful tool for making money, if you don't hide it well, you will have to take advantage of others!"
Sitting on the right side, a fat middle-aged man holding a cup of tea. He is researching active substances in marine life. Hearing this, he said: "It may be that it was discovered from some kind of snake, but no one has done enough research."
No one can confidently say that they have thoroughly studied a certain organism. Who can study the mysteries at the cellular and molecular levels thoroughly with today's technology?
Luck is very important!
Maybe because of a certain opportunity, we can make a new discovery that shocks the world!
"It makes sense. There are many blind spots."
"This is their trade secret and is only studied in the core laboratory. No one can see it."
What is annoying is that Ancestral Factory is not a listed company, and it has sufficient financial resources and connections. Outside capital has limited interference with them, and they cannot dig out any useful information, let alone others who do not have strong capital.
The man who studied active substances in the ocean was silent for a moment and then said:
"Is there a possibility that through a certain opportunity, they discovered a new species of sea snake, whose venom does not contain neurotoxins as the main component, but a more complex mixture of toxins. Then the active ingredients were separated and purified, and the
Among them, substances with strong effects and special functions are artificially transformed and synthesized for clinical use...
"That 'new species' is in the sea now, but we haven't discovered it yet!"
This statement is supported by many people.
"It is possible that humans still know too little about the ocean, and the research on sea snakes is very limited. No one knows how many types of venomous snakes there are in the ocean and what the composition of their venom is."
The cost of research on sea snakes is too high. Even if you spend money on it, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even if you spend manpower and time on it.
"Maybe it's a mutant, or maybe it's a new species!"
"The likelihood of new species is higher."
"Well, in short, the Ancestor Factory is going to make a lot of money this time! With this trump card in their hands, they can stabilize their current position!"
Several people chatted about their speculations for a while, and then turned to another topic.
They are gathered here not just to discuss how the ancestor factory produced these magical substances, but also for another important purpose.
Group buy!
"We were not able to catch up with the first batch of trial packs of 'Ancestor Y', but now that the Ancestor Factory has officially started selling it to the outside world, we have to seize such a good opportunity no matter what! The inconvenience is that they only sell it in boxes."
There are ten small tubes in a box, and the capacity of one tube is no bigger than a baby's little finger.
The regular price is definitely not as cheap as the trial version. The price for the trial version can be said to be sent directly from the ancestor factory as a welfare price to partners. The official sale price is another.
It's too expensive and one person can't afford the risk. So find more people to join the group.
Buy a box and give each person a tube or half a tube, which is enough for them to study for a period of time. Those who work in the same place can share a tube together.
If we can really use limited materials to research something, it will be much easier to apply for scientific research funds. Even if we can't apply for funds, we can still find others to invest. There are many big bosses who are willing to invest in the research of the Ancestor series of active substances.
No matter which way you go, once you get money, you can buy more. It’s better to save some for initial research.
While we were chatting about how to do group buying, how many boxes we bought and how many we shared, someone suddenly said:
"Hey, isn't Feng Yi here? Do you want to bring him in?"
"Well, that guy doesn't seem to be short of money. You can ask him if he's interested. I saw him reading Professor Shen's paper two days ago."
"It's better to say goodbye. I also know some kids from rich families, but do you think I should call them out on this kind of thing? They don't understand! There are so many nonsense! You may not be really interested in reading the paper, and you don't study it, so you can drag me in.
There will be some new troubles. Besides, you also know that he has money. If he is really interested in this, he can buy a box by himself, so why bother sharing it with others? "
He just doesn't like asking outsiders to come in and interfere!
