The king physalis squid has beautiful huge round fins and the largest eyes in the world, but their brain is very small, only 30 grams, which is 1/70 of a human.
The King Physalis Squid has the largest "beak" among squids and can easily crush bones without any problem.
There are small otoliths in their ears, which are used to distinguish directions. There are circles on them, similar to annual rings, and one circle represents a day, so if you want to check its age, you can look at this thing.
Because the king physalis squid grows quickly and dies quickly, their lifespan is only about 450 days, so it is relatively easy to check the age of individuals.
Their blood is blue, and the anus passes under the gills. They have eight arms and two tentacles, the long one is the tentacle, and the short one is the arm. The arm feet have barbs that can rotate 360 degrees, similar to the claws of a tiger.
, which can be up to 8cm long and can easily make a 2-inch deep wound in the blubber.
Males are rarer than females. Males have evolved spermatophores and inject tadpoles into females. The diameter of their eggs is about 1mm. Most of the eggs found so far are female. In 2007, a New Zealand crew captured a female juvenile in the Ross Sea of Antarctica.
King Physalis Squid.
It is rare to capture a giant squid alive, and its remains are usually only found in the stomachs of sperm whales or large sharks. There are only a few complete individual samples, but they are all immature giant squids.
Therefore, so far, scientists can only rely on these samples to estimate that the adult Physalis Squid is about 14 meters long, but no truly grown adult individuals have been found yet.
Now the "Big Mac" squid caught by Han Kongque and his colleagues is more than 13 meters long and weighs more than 700 kilograms. It is already the largest and best-preserved squid caught by humans so far.
"The lower beak of the giant king physalis squid mentioned above is only 4.3 centimeters wide, but compared to the largest squid beak found in the stomach of a sperm whale, this is quite small. This indicates that there are even larger king physalis squids."
Finally, Song Min made a conclusion.
After listening to this, Qin Ge immediately said: "Wow! The economic value of this kind of hesitation is huge. If it can be raised alive, it can grow to more than ten meters long in more than four hundred days. If we specialize in breeding such giant squid, it won't be enough."
Sent?"
Song Min rolled her eyes and said, "Where do you plan to raise it? This is a deep-sea creature."
"Isn't it living quite comfortably in shallow water?" Qin Ge also despised Song Min without hesitation.
Song Min argued: "Maybe he will die soon."
At this time, Han Peacock said thoughtfully: "This situation is unlikely. We caught it in the shallow sea. This shows that it can also live in the shallow sea. However, if you want to breed this thing...
It's not that easy. At the very least, you have to figure out whether it is a female or a male.
Although males are rare, if it is a male, just kill it for meat. It will not reproduce. If it is a female, it looks like it is actually an adult. If it gets pregnant, it will give birth to a large number of babies.
Squid can be farmed.
However, there is another question here, how much does it need to eat every day? If it eats a lot, how will it be raised in the future? Will the price of selling it after raising it be enough to make the seafood it eats worth?"
Everyone looked at Han Peacock blankly. This boss was the boss. Qin Ge just mentioned it. The boss had already thought about how to breed in the future.
Han Peacock looked at everyone funny and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to raise such a big squid?"
Liuxu gave him a funny slap and said, "Do you really want to raise it? What if such a dangerous thing hurts someone?"
"There are many things that can hurt people, but it's not like no one keeps them. Venomous snakes, pythons, and crocodiles are so dangerous, aren't there still many people raising them? If this is really a female King Physalis Squid, if it can survive
It came down and laid eggs successfully. We kept it.
If it is not suitable on land, we will raise it in the sea. I don’t think I have told you that I have enclosed a piece of land in the sea and am now stepping up construction. If you are willing to go when we return, I can give you the coordinates and you can go and take a look.
Look, that place is very suitable for keeping the King Physalis Squid in captivity." Feeling that everyone was looking at him more and more strangely, Han Peacock immediately told his plan.
"You have enclosed a piece of land in the sea? Can people enclose land in this ocean at will?" Song Min looked at Han Peacock strangely.
Han Kongque said: "Haha, I built several artificial islands in a shallow sea with a few friends. It has been more than a month since the construction started, and I don't know how the construction is going."
"You are really a rich man. There is no room for you on this land, so you have gone to the ocean." Song Min said.
Liu Xu also knew for the first time that Han Peacock actually had a foundation in the outer sea. However, no matter how he said it, he felt that it was unreliable. Building artificial islands in the outer sea would be a waste of money, right?
"A game for rich people, you have to spend money to play it! But the boss can afford it." Luo Yun sighed.
Jiang Shandao: "The boss is so vigorously building the Longyun, is it just for the island?"
Han Kongque said with appreciation: "Look, you only see that I am burning money, but you don't see the value of that island. Jiang Shan has a strategic vision and can understand the role of the Longyun at a glance."
"So the Longyun is also the product of your money-burning plan?" Song Min had already guessed why Han Kongque invested huge sums of money to develop a series of simulation weapons.
Is Han Peacock using a very subtle method to protect his artificial island?
"How can it be said that it is a waste of money? How many years has fish farming been carried out in cages? Your thinking is too conservative. Now fishery resources are becoming increasingly scarce, so we must take the lead and put marine culture in a place without any pollution.
Only in this way can we make a fortune.
Therefore, you must pay attention to this King Physalis Squid. If the breeding is really successful, we will distribute it, and my artificial island will have a unique pillar industry." Han Peacock said very seriously.
Song Min said: "Although it sounds a bit whimsical, many geniuses' ideas are actually crazy. Let's just leave it to fate! If this is really a female king physalis squid, it might actually be able to lay a lot of eggs."
"How many eggs can be laid?" At this time, Qin Ge's curiosity arose again.
"Why do you care so much?" Song Min said.
Qin Ge said with a bitter face: "I have to think carefully about my son. Look, if this king Physalis Squid lays many eggs, can you share some with us? Then I will go to the boss's artificial island to contract
A fish pond is home to this giant Physalis squid.
If I really make money, I can save it for my son as a wife. The cost of marrying a wife will become higher and higher in the future. If I don’t make preparations early, my son may be single in the future.”
Although Qin Ge was joking, no one in the audience smiled. Not talking about the women, except for Luo Yun and Han Kongque, all the men here seemed to be bachelors.
Especially the crew and security guards on the ship are all older youths. These people are all veterans. Among them, they are either navy or army scouts. After retiring from the army, they worked outside and were recruited by Han Peacock. Since they have no family, they can only work for a long time.
Drifting on the boat.
The reason why these young men endure so much hardship and struggle to make money is just to get a wife?
So although Qin Ge was joking, it was not ridiculous at all.
Zhang Xiangyue, who had finished handling the chores on the ship, happened to come over: "There are many young girls from Asan Kingdom. Why don't you all rotate to Asan Kingdom for duty in the future and bring back a bride from Asan Kingdom."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Don't think too much about this kind of thing. Girls from Asan Kingdom will not marry foreigners, even poor people. If someone marries a foreigner, their whole family will be despised."
Zhang Xiangyue touched his head and said, "I heard that girls from their country can hardly get married, so why don't you want to marry a foreigner?"
"Girls in their country can't get married because the men require heavy betrothal gifts, not because no one wants them." Han Peacock was also quite speechless about that weird country.
Qin Ge said at this time: "What's the point? The girls from Asan Kingdom are not particularly beautiful? If you are willing, I will find a group of beautiful girls for you, from Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Central Asia, Russia, etc."
Our country favors boys over girls, but there is no such saying abroad. With the salary and benefits on board our ship, even according to the standards of flight attendants, it is absolutely no problem to find female crew members. If it really counts, the ship is safer than the air after all."
So everyone looked at Qin Ge, especially the crew members on the ship. Their eyes were shining. If they really found a group of high-quality girls to work on the ship, wouldn't they be the first to get the most?
"Sister-in-law Luo, are you telling the truth?" A man standing next to Jiang Shan said a little embarrassed.
As soon as he spoke, the silent atmosphere was broken, especially the crew members, who all started talking.
"Don't mess around. Whether you will be happy in the future depends on now." The man who spoke before said.
Qin Ge suppressed a smile and said: "How is this true or false? It all depends on the boss! In fact, it is not just foreign girls, we also need to give domestic girls a chance. In the future, our Longyun will run around the world, so it will
Talents in various languages must be reserved no matter what.
I won’t speak English, but we also need to understand the dialects of some coastal countries or small island countries, especially the languages of Southeast Asian countries. If there is no translation, we will definitely encounter some troubles in Southeast Asia in the future.”
"I heard that most of the people who study foreign languages are girls, and they are all beauties. Let's do it! It's the Chinese New Year when we go back this time. Taking this opportunity, we all have a good rest. Qin Ge will be responsible for recruiting some talents for the ship.
You can recruit a group of people of all kinds.
They are usually allowed to do logistics work on the ship. When necessary, let them play their own roles. The greater the role they play, the higher the bonus. Of course, the basic salary can also be higher. After all, they are running a ship and the salary is small.
I’m afraid no girls will want to work on the ship.”
