Chapter eight hundred and fortieth undersea mandarin ducks
The last day of this month, please vote for me.
Cheng Jun and others wanted to visit their territory, and Han Peacock also began to inspect his territory.
There are so many treasures in the ocean because it is so big that it makes you feel boundless.
Han Kongque carefully protected Liuxu and Zhou Meiren as they walked into the water. Because the water did not cover them, it made the three people's walking even more difficult.
"Boss, you really don't need us to follow you?" Huangshan said a little worriedly as he looked at the three Han Peacocks walking towards the ocean slowly.
Han Peacock thought for a moment and said: "I have a locator on me, so just follow me on it!"
Although he was confident of protecting Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren, he still wanted to be just in case. If he was overconfident and an accident happened, that would be bad.
"Is it really okay?" Seeing the sea water getting deeper and deeper, Zhou Meiren finally became a little scared.
Liu Xu was on the other side, holding Han Kongque's arm tightly. Hearing the fear in Zhou Meiren's voice, Liu Xu smiled and said, "I finally see the feminine side of Sister Zhou."
"Liuxu, you are wrong. When did Zhou Meiren act like a man?" Han Peacock chuckled and hugged the two women, then jumped into the depths of the sea. The three of them immediately floated in the middle of the sea.
"Are we floating in the sea?" Zhou Meiren didn't pay attention to Han Peacock's instigation, but was surprised that we were floating in the sea.
Han Peacock laughed and said, "When LiuXu and I went into the water for the first time, she was not as surprised as you."
Zhou Meiren said: "You are all non-human beings, so naturally your reactions are different from mine."
Zhou Meiren stroked the thin layer of water curtain and felt very magical: "Your magical power is indeed unique."
Han Kongque said: "This is all caused by the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. If I rely on my own ability, it will be okay to prop up a water curtain in this shallow sea, but it will not work in the deep sea. The water curtain cannot resist
Water pressure in the deep sea.”
"Are we moving?" Zhou Meiren watched in surprise as the scenery on the seabed kept moving back.
Han Kongque said: "Of course we are moving."
Zhou Meiren rolled her eyes at Han Kongque and said, "I'm not stupid. Of course I know you are moving. I mean, I didn't see any movement from you. Why are we moving?"
After Han Kongque glanced at Zhou Meiren, he said proudly: "Of course it is propelled by water flow, similar to a ship. This is the magical power I developed after having the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. In the water, I am a god. This
It’s flying.”
After Han Peacock finished speaking, he immediately started to accelerate. They quickly moved on the seabed. Seeing that both of them were nervous, Han Peacock said: "Don't worry, if there is an accident, I will send you two into Xuanyuan Water Control
Qi, it’s absolutely safe there, so don’t worry.”
The corals and seaweeds in the shallow sea, as well as the various fishes that shuttled between them, all receded quickly.
"Slow down, I'll use DVD to record all of this." Zhou Meiren was dazzled by what she saw. But she didn't forget to record these things.
Han Peacock is not interested in seeing these things in the shallow sea, because he has taken a lot of catkins in the past.
"When I shoot in the deep sea, everything is the same. It feels fresh after watching it once, but it doesn't feel like it after watching it too many times," said Han Kongque.
Liu Xu said: "Sister Zhou saw this scene for the first time, so she naturally wanted to take a picture. Please slow down."
"Let's go to the deep sea as soon as possible while there is sunshine. Otherwise, the bottom of the sea will be pitch black and there will be no lights. If you want to see these scenes, we can come at any time. There is no need to take pictures here. Let's take pictures.
, and you can't let others see it. If you want to see it, I can take you down at any time." Han Peacock had no intention of stopping.
"Stop for a moment. I'll take the photo and take it back to show the child. He doesn't have time to come here." Zhou Meiren was attracted by the scenery outside and could only anxiously ask Han Peacock to slow down.
"Child?" Han Peacock stopped moving in confusion, and the three people were suspended in the sea and stopped moving.
"Child? What child?" Zhou Meiren asked as she looked at the two people staring at her.
Liu Xu said: "Sister Zhou, just now you said you took a video and went back to show it to your child."
Zhou Meiren smiled and said: "My nieces and nephews are from my cousin's family. Han Kongque has never met them, but he should have met their father."
Han Kongque frowned and said, "Is it from Zhou Chengyun's family?"
"Yes, Zhou Chengyun's eldest brother's child is very cute." Zhou Meiren said.
Han Peacock once again took the two of them to the distant sea quickly: "When I get back, I will ask Liu Xu to make a copy for you. Although it is the scenery under the sea in the Maldives, it is not much different from here."
"Okay!" Zhou Meiren put the DVD away.
Without Zhou Meiren to cause trouble, Han Peacock kept increasing his power, so their speed became faster and faster, and they soon drifted dozens of nautical miles.
"Okay, the sea water here is hundreds of meters deep. Let's explore here." Han Peacock looked at the locator and found that clams were found here.
"Are we looking for clams here?" Zhou Meiren asked curiously.
Catkin said: "Don't think about Tridacna for now, let's look for some beautiful corals first! I think there are a lot of corals here. We can pick up some freshly dead corals and take them back as decorations."
Seeing the two women moving around among the corals on the seabed, Han Peacock quickly said: "Be careful, there are sea snakes here. You two just have to take a look, don't move around casually."
"Sea snake?" Zhou Mei and Liu Xu stopped their movements at the same time. The excitement just now has completely disappeared. Women are naturally afraid of snakes.
Han Peacock said: "There are a lot of venomous snakes in the sea, and they are no worse than those on land, so it is better to be careful. I will give each of you a cane. If you see something you are interested in, use the cane to pick it up and have a look."
Han Kongque handed the two women a cane and told them to be careful. However, his arm was always holding one of the two women's arms.
As a result, the two women could freely flip around with one hand, but Han Peacock could not do anything.
However, holding two beauties, even if you do nothing, is still a happy thing, so Han Peacock watched the two women happily exploring around the seabed.
"Peacock, what do you think this is?" Just as Han Peacock felt the warm fragrance of the two women's soft jade, Zhou Meiren shouted.
"What? Let me see." Before Han Kongque could react, Liuxu hurriedly turned around and looked at Zhou Meiren.
Han Peacock followed the two walking sticks and saw a long, weird thing that looked flat and looked very ugly.
This thing has a broad horseshoe-shaped cephalothorax, a much smaller segmented abdomen, and a long, pointed tail sword.
The upper surface of the cephalothorax is smooth and raised, with a pair of compound eyes on the sides and a pair of single eyes that can sense ultraviolet rays at the front of the midridge. There are 6 pairs of appendages on the ventral surface of the cephalothorax.
"Is this the Chinese Horseshoe Crab?" Liu Catkin looked at Han Peacock, while Zhou Meiren looked at Liu Catkin.
Han Peacock also looked at Liu Xu: "You are really knowledgeable and talented."
"Is this really a Chinese horseshoe crab?" Liuxu looked at the horseshoe-shaped animal on the ground with a diameter of sixty or seventy centimeters in surprise.
At this time, Zhou Meiren said: "Look, there is a small one on its back. I wonder why this thing is so strange!"
LiuXu smiled and said: "Isn't this strange? They are mandarin ducks under the sea!"
"Mandarin ducks under the sea?" Zhou Meiren said in surprise.
“Because each female horseshoe crab is accompanied by one or more male horseshoe crabs, especially during the spawning period, the female horseshoe crab digs a series of shallow pits in the sand and lays 200 to 300 eggs in each pit, and then the male horseshoe crabs use semen to lay eggs.
Egg coverage.
Once a male and female become husband and wife, they become inseparable. The fat female horseshoe crab often carries her thin husband on her back while hobbling along. When she catches a horseshoe crab, she becomes a pair. Therefore, horseshoe crabs are known as 'undersea mandarin ducks'."
Watching Liuxu talk about the characteristics of horseshoe crabs, Han Peacock felt a little sad. Liuxu was completely relaxed. If it turned out that she would never say this, she would look at Han Peacock with expectant eyes.
Trust him and let him show off his superior IQ.
Maybe he saw the look in Han Peacock's eyes, so Liu Xu said, "Did I steal your limelight? Otherwise, why don't you show off too?"
Han Peacock gave Liuxu a very bright smile and said: "This is a horseshoe crab, but it is not necessarily a Chinese horseshoe crab, because it is too far away from China. It can be named Beauty Horseshoe Crab in the future, because it was discovered by a beauty."
"Then this beauty must be a Smurf." Liu Xu said with a smile.
Zhou Meiren glanced at the two people and said, "You two, are you bullying me for not understanding these marine animals?"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "The blood of horseshoe crab is blue. Use the blood of horseshoe crab to make a reagent, and then drip it into the injection. If the reagent solidifies or changes color immediately, it means that the injection contains bacteria that can cause fever, shock or even death."
Toxoid, it is for this reason that horseshoe crabs are now being hunted in large numbers, and their numbers have decreased a lot."
"Is blood blue? Is there really blue blood in this world?" Zhou Meiren asked in surprise.
Han Kongque said: "Let Liu Cainv give you some popular science."
Liu Xu said: "Actually, there is nothing strange. It's just that the blood of horseshoe crab contains copper ions, and its blood is blue. The extract of this blue blood is called 'Lulu reagent', which is very useful in medicine. It
It can accurately and quickly detect whether the internal tissues of the human body are diseased due to bacterial infection.
In the pharmaceutical and food industries, it can be used to monitor toxin contamination, and many laboratories now use horseshoe crab blood to study cancer. However, scientists who use it for scientific experiments draw blood from the horseshoe crabs and then release them."
Zhou Meiren watched Han Peacock collect the pair of horseshoe crabs into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and then said: "Since the horseshoe crabs are so useful, does it mean that you have found another source of wealth?"
Han Peacock said: "It takes 15 years for a horseshoe crab to grow from the size of a thumb to adulthood. Female horseshoe crabs have to molt 18 times and males 19 times. It is not easy to breed horseshoe crabs for such a long time."
Liu Xu said: "Don't be so sullen, just smile if you want. I know the life habits of horseshoe crabs. If you put them in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, they will definitely make the horseshoe crabs grow quickly."
"Xuanyuan's control of the water flag still has this effect?" Zhou Meiren asked in surprise.
Liu Xu said: "In the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner, the horseshoe crab has fewer natural enemies and sufficient food. With the help of active water, the most important thing is that it can save several long periods of growth in the horseshoe crab. In this way, if the horseshoe crab cannot
It’s weird to grow up so fast.”
Looking at Zhou Meiren's puzzled look, Han Peacock said: "The larvae of the horseshoe crab hatch from the egg after several weeks, and are about 5 mm long. They use the stored yolk as a source of nutrition. Individuals in the second larval stage already have a short telson.
, feed on small animals and overwinter in mudflats.
The individuals in the third larval stage look like tiny adults. The larvae molt and enter the next larval stage. At this time, the epidermis splits around the edge of the cephalothorax and then falls off. The body length increases by about 25% with each molt, until it is 9 to 12 years old.
It molts about 16 times to reach sexual maturity, and the adult feeds on marine worms. These are not problems in the Xuanyuan Water Banner."
Zhou Meiren nodded and said: "There is no winter in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and there is plenty of food. Just these can speed up the growth of the horseshoe crab. It seems that Han Peacock, you are really a god of wealth."
Han Kongque glanced at Zhou Meiren and said, "Don't you regret it?"
"What do you regret?" Zhou Meiren asked in shock.
Han Kongque said: "I regret giving me your family treasure. Everything I have now is brought about by Xuanyuan Controlling Water Flag."
Zhou Meiren smiled: "Why should I regret it?"
"Why don't you regret it?" Han Peacock asked.
Zhou Meiren glanced at Han Peacock charmingly and said: "Invest, idiot, I invested in you, and now I have begun to see returns."
Zhou Meiren smiled so proudly that both Han Peacock and Liu Xu were stunned. Zhou Meiren had never acted so charmingly before, so both of them were a little uncomfortable.
However, the two of them soon became even more uncomfortable, because the proud Zhou Meiren screamed, which made Han Kongque tremble immediately.
"Insect." Zhou Meiren climbed directly on top of Han Peacock, wrapping her legs tightly around Han Peacock's waist. If Han Peacock hadn't been so strong, just this one move would have turned the three of them into giants.
Just when Han Peacock had just stabilized his body and wanted to see where the bug came from, the catkins on the other side of him had already been silently hanging on Han Peacock's body. This made Han Peacock's body, which had just balanced, immediately
It swayed again.
There was no other way, so Han Peacock had no choice but to escape from the bottom of the sea and float into the sea water. In this way, the three people were wrapped in a thin layer of water curtain and turned over in the sea water.
After such a turn, the two women screamed again. Han Peacock could only use his magical power to control the sea water, press it towards him, and stabilize his body.
"Two eldest sisters, where do the insects in the sea come from? They are also snakes, right?" Han Peacock said helplessly.
Zhou Meiren said: "It's not a snake, it's indeed a bug. It's a white bug. It looks disgusting, just like a caterpillar. I can see it clearly. It has no head, so it's definitely not a snake."
"Okay, okay, I'll use my magical power to sense it. If it's an insect, I'll go over and crush it to death." Han Peacock said helplessly.
After Han Peacock released his magical power, he quickly locked onto the target, because the thing was really conspicuous, and if it squirmed, it would really be a bit penetrating, so Zhou Meiren's reaction was considered normal. (To be continued)
