Han Kongque is still very satisfied with the crew members on the ship now, and they all know the secret of the Longyun. Even in order to win over them, Han Kongque needs to find a wife for each of them.
You must know that many of these guys are from poor family conditions. They make money just to marry a wife and respect the elderly. How do you marry a wife on a ship? How do you respect the elderly?
Therefore, most of these people have the idea of working hard for a few years and then getting off the ship and leaving after making enough money.
This is not what Han Kongque wants, so Han Kongque really has to think about how to keep them. This is really not the case. Finding them a wife on the ship can tie their hearts even more.
When it comes to women, even those who are usually taciturn will give some reference opinions from time to time.
Seeing that these people were discussing more and more enthusiastically, Qin Ge came out to pour cold water again: "Stop, you all have wonderful ideas, but we have recruited a beautiful woman, can you keep her? Even if she is allowed to stay, how can any of you succeed? Will you be able to embrace a beautiful woman?"
"Boss, please leave me some land on your artificial island. I also want to breed King Physalis Squid." It was the same man who spoke before, and his reaction was quick.
Jiang Shan didn't react so quickly. He said a little strangely: "Huang Jijun, why did you think of raising squid?"
"It's okay, I've liked raising fish since I was a child, and I like this cute aquatic animal very much." The young man named Huang Jijun said without hesitation.
At this time, Da Liu came out of nowhere: "Deputy Captain Huang, every time I make squid, it seems that you don't eat it? And I heard that your family is from the northwest, how come you have liked fish farming since you were a child? , do you have water there?"
Seeing everyone looking at him with contempt, Huang Jijun said without changing his expression: "What do you know? It's because our hometown is short of water that fish farming became my dream. It's because I like squid, so I don't I’m willing to eat it.”
"I'm going to vomit. Do you like squid? Don't be joking, I think you like money, right?" Jiang Shan also reacted at this time: "Boss, please leave me some land. I will also decide to like squid in the future. I also raise them, and there are many fish in the ocean that are worthless. As for the King Physalis Squid, even if it doesn’t taste good, it’s worth a lot of money just because of its appearance.”
"Yes, it only takes four hundred and fifty days to die. Calculated this way, it will definitely take less than a year to reach adulthood. At that time, we will only sell males. The males will grow bigger and can be sold at a higher price, but they will not be able to have children. In this way, we But we have a monopoly on this industry, how much do you think this King Physalis Squid can sell for?" Huang Jijun even thought of the industry rules and prospects.
Although he couldn't keep up with Huang Jijun's ideas, he still followed Huang Jijun's thoughts. Jiang Shan's reaction was not slow: "I think the price cannot be lowered. First, laboratories in various countries need it. After this batch is sold out, the next step will be It means aquariums in various countries. Once all the aquariums are available, we will sell them to five-star hotels around the world. If the quantity is large, we will push it to the market. It can grow more than a thousand kilograms a year, which is better than raising pigs. too much."
Looking at the wonderful discussion among these crew members, Liuxu and the other girls could only look at each other in shock. Now that they have been completely defeated by this group of men, it seems that breeding the King Physalis Squid has become an inevitable fact.
"Song Min, how many eggs can this King Physalis Squid lay at one time?" Liu Xu was already worried about whether the eggs laid by this King Physalis Squid would be enough by then.
Song Min resisted rolling her eyes. She glanced helplessly at the crowd who were all staring at her and said: "No one knows this. After all, no one has ever seen the king physalis squid lay eggs. However, judging from the production situation of the squid, it is also I can deduce some.
Calamari live in sea areas not too far from the coast. Every spring when they spawn, groups of squid swim to the shore to lay eggs. The eggs are wrapped in a rod-shaped, transparent gelatinous sheath. There are often many rod-shaped The base of the egg sheath is connected together and attached to rocks or other objects. It looks like a white flower and is very beautiful.
The reproductive migration of squid is obviously affected by temperature. The surface water temperature of spawning clusters is about 13-16℃ for Japanese squid and 22-24℃ for Chinese squid.
The species is generally divided into three breeding groups: spring group, summer group and autumn group. The living habits of each group are different.
The eggs mature and are laid out in batches. The eggs are wrapped in a gelatinous and transparent rod-shaped egg sheath. Each egg sheath contains several to hundreds of eggs, and an individual can lay hundreds to tens of thousands of eggs;
Therefore, many egg sheaths are often gathered together, rather like elongated petals, and the eggs are often scattered on the seabed or attached to other objects.
The hatching period varies depending on the species. For example, the hatching period of Squid squid takes about 1 month, while the Chinese squid only takes about 8 to 16 days. The water temperature has a great influence on the hatching time.
The hatching rate of squid is very high, generally up to 70-80%. The hatched larvae are similar in shape to their parents. They can swim back and forth, left and right in the water layer with the help of the spray from the funnel, and can grab food.
The larvae grow very quickly, reaching a carcass length close to that of their parents in about half a year. The next year their gonads are fully mature and they return to the sea where they were born to mate and lay eggs. Their parents die one after another after reproduction, and their lifespan is usually one year."
"Wow! It takes about half a year to grow to a length close to the parent body. Doesn't this mean that it only takes half a year to raise and sell?" Han Peacock was also surprised this time.
"Sister Song...Sister Song..." Han Peacock had just finished being surprised when he heard Qin Ge's cry that was a bit choked with tears.
"That King Physalis Squid is not dead yet, it's too early for you to cry." Song Min was usually the best friend with Qin Ge, so they often joked.
"How could I cry? But if it's like what you said, I think we are really about to eat the King Physalis Squid." Qin Ge pointed at the King Physalis Squid in the pool.
Song Min looked over and was immediately stunned.
Han Peacock and the others also discovered something unusual in the pool. It was really as beautiful as petals!
At this time, the rod-shaped transparent colloids on the pool wall are stuck together and attached to the pool wall. They are shaped like white flowers, which is very beautiful.
Han Peacock said: "Song Min, you just said that the squid is a reproductive migratory animal, so what happened to the king physalis squid? It didn't come here because it was about to lay eggs, right? "
Song Min didn't know what to say at this time, and only a biologist like her knew what this meant.
So far, most of what scientists know about giant squids comes from their carcasses.
In the past century, people have only obtained 50 giant squids, and these squids were all corpses, most of which were washed up on the beach by the waves after being killed.
Recently, Japanese scientists captured a 7-meter-long living giant squid in the ocean for the first time, giving people their first glimpse of the most mysterious animal on earth.
As the ocean environment changes, giant squid may replace sharks and whales and become the new overlord in the ocean.
Humans continue to capture the giant squid's biggest natural enemies - sharks and whales, which directly increases the squid's living and activity space. At the same time, the increasingly warm sea water also helps the squid expand the range of food capture.
The "territory" occupied by giant squids in the ocean continues to expand. According to data, the number of giant squids has grown faster than other fish species in the past 25 years.
In recent years, giant squids have been discovered in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The power of giant squids in the oceans has continued to increase. This trend is not limited to the southern hemisphere, but also occurs in various parts of the world.
Now, Korean Peacock and others have actually discovered giant squids coming to lay eggs in the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean. This is enough to show that this kind of creature is spreading around the world at an unprecedented speed.
Song Min expressed her worries, and Qin Ge laughed heartlessly: "Why are you worried about this? We should take advantage of the fact that the King Physalis Squid is not overflowing, and quickly raise a batch to sell, so that we can marry all the brothers.
Wife, if the sky falls, there will still be a tall person holding it up!"
"Yes, even if the king physalis squid floods, it is impossible to run to the shore. We will definitely be safe." Liu Xu looked at Han Peacock with a smile. He had an artificial island, but he didn't know that the island was surrounded by the king physalis squid.
What will happen after that?
Han Peacock said with a helpless smile: "Okay, we have been tired for a day, let's all go and have a rest! Such creatures are definitely not able to challenge human beings' status on the earth. If they really overrun, they will only add a new population to us.
A delicious meal.”
After everyone left, Song Min sighed: "In the end, we still couldn't save the life of this king Physalis Squid."
Han Peacock said: "Try to save its children! If these eggs can hatch smoothly, it will be more cost-effective than getting this adult king Physalis Squid."
Liu Xu rolled her eyes at Han Kongque and said, "You just want to make money. You are already so rich, why are you still so eager for money?"
Han Kongque said with a smile: "What I want is not money, but things. No matter what they are, as long as they are real things, I want to collect antiques, animals, plants and beauties."
"Okay, let's not disturb your sweetness here, so as not to hurt your eyes." Song Min took some seawater and took it back to the laboratory for testing.
Han Peacock looked at the stretched catkins and said with a smile: "Are you tired? Let's go have dinner. After dinner, we will go back to the room to rest."
Liu Xu frowned and said, "What should I do? I don't want to eat."
"Then let's rest for a while and then eat later." Han Peacock sent Liuxu back to the room, poured her a glass of activated water, and then walked out of the room.
He first came to the kitchen, wanting to prepare some delicious meals for Liuxu. After looking around, most of them were seafood. In addition to seafood, there were also some meat and vegetables that were not fresh.
Han Peacock frowned. Apart from seafood, it was not easy to eat fresh food on the ship. However, looking at Liu Xi's lack of appetite, Han Peacock was a little worried.
It seemed that they could only make do with a meal first. Thinking of this, Han Kongque planned to leave with Liu Catkin tomorrow.
At this time, Han Kongque began to regret bringing Liu Xu, a pregnant woman, on board the ship.
