Live broadcast: My leisurely life on the island

Chapter 218

Zhang Heng glanced at the data and subtitles in the live broadcast room, and smiled, after all, he didn't have the heart to turn off the screen.

After all, wouldn't it be lonely if no one watched the whale fall in this prosperous age?
"Keep boasting, I will give you a feast."

"This is the most luxurious whale fall feast in history, I invite you to watch it with me!"

Zhang Heng sat on the little bitch, looked at the vast sea, and shouted loudly.

This incident was also a shock to him.

After all, human beings are small, and there are too many unknowns and uninterrupted.

Today's whale falls, that's the case.

Everyone knows that whale falls are the most beautiful, but they don't know that no whale is willing to turn into a pile of dry bones for people to enjoy.

Just like in reality, there are still a small number of people who donate organs and corneas.

This is not wrong.

It's just that it looks so noble when it's done.

This has nothing to do with indifference!

Even if he rises to a certain height, Zhang Heng can't guarantee that he will donate in the future...

Some things look simple, but how difficult it is to practice.

This whale, even as a human, is a great and understanding mother.

"Let Zhang Heng give you a ride!"

Sitting on the little slut, Zhang Heng felt a little sad for no reason. He listened to the whining whale sound with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise. This sea area will not be hunted by anyone while you are alive."

Zhang Heng pointed at the whale that turned back, and said firmly.

Blue whales have a long lifespan, generally reaching about 50 years old, and the longest can reach 90 to [-] years old.

Zhang Heng dare not promise too long, because his lifespan is still limited.

It should be fine for a few decades though.

"Scumbag, we remember that we will never hunt this sea area in this life."

"We will help you fulfill and keep your promises."

In the live broadcast room, everyone did not expect such an agreement between Zhang Heng and Blue Whale. Apart from shock, they admired it more.

With decades of perseverance, in exchange for a prosperous whale fall.

The team of blue whales gradually drifted away, and there were waves of waves in the vast sea from time to time.

And behind these whales, a sad figure gradually stopped.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

Before long, the ecosystem here will be more complete.

A whale fall process can sustain the growth of at least 43 species and more than 1 organisms.

It's just that the process is long and poignant.

There are roughly four stages, and the duration is as short as one year or several years, and it will affect the ecological environment of the nearby sea area for 300 years.

In the mobile scavenger stage, hagfish, sharks, and some crustaceans feed on the soft tissue in the whale carcass as it sinks to the bottom of the sea.This process can last from 4 to 24 months, depending on the size of the whale.

For the blue whales, this process is the most painful, because 90% of the whale carcasses will be decomposed during this process.

The stage of opportunists belongs to the second process. Opportunists can adapt to the corresponding environment in a short period of time and reproduce rapidly.The environment mentioned here refers to whale carcasses and whale bones.At this stage, some invertebrates, especially polychaetes and crustaceans, can use the residual whale carcass as a living environment, live here, and at the same time eat the residual whale carcass, constantly changing their own environment.

Zhang Heng watched the group of blue whales leave, and his mind was full of all kinds of scientific information brought to him by the whale skills.

Facing the camera, he started a science popularization about whale falls in the live broadcast room.

At this moment, the live broadcast room was surprisingly quiet, except for the screen full of gifts, there was no one who interrupted.

What Zhang Heng is saying now is too scientifically avant-garde, and many so-called experts and professors have not researched it yet.

But starting today, many papers will appear, and many experts and professors will become famous.

Because at this moment, many well-dressed people are desperately recording every word Zhang Heng said.

The next third stage, I habitually call it the chemoautotrophic stage, because with the further dismemberment of the whale carcass, a large number of anaerobic bacteria will enter the whalebone and other tissues, decompose the lipids in them, and use Sulfate dissolved in seawater acts as an oxidizing agent, producing hydrogen sulfide.

Chemoautotrophic bacteria such as sulfide bacteria use these hydrogen sulfide as an energy source, and use dissolved oxygen in water to oxidize it to obtain energy.And the organisms that live in symbiosis with chemoautotrophic bacteria also have energy supplements.

There are many kinds of food chains. What I have mentioned are just examples. How many creatures will benefit is impossible to estimate.

The final stage can almost be said to be the stage where the blue whale completely dissipates.

When all the organic matter in the remnant whale body is consumed, the remaining bones will turn into reefs and become a gathering place for deep-sea creatures.

The place where the whale bones are transformed is like an oasis in the desert, where many creatures will spend their lives in peace.

The poignant whale fall, the complicated process, it's admirable if you go deeper.

"It's so complicated!"

"Master Zha is indeed worthy of being a talented student, even if he is like Zhacheng, he is still so talented."

"Quickly ask Professor Zhang, does he know what the scumbag said?"

"Don't ask, Zhang Jiaoshou hastily closed the live broadcast room, probably because he was taking notes after listening to the scumbag's science popularization."

"It's unimaginable for a person to be both scumbag and talented."

"You overlooked a question!"

"Scumbag, he's so handsome!"

"No problem!"

In the live broadcast room, more people didn't think deeply about the process of the whale falling, but were entangled in Zhang Heng's talent.

Especially those female fans, they can't wait to go to the extreme east island immediately.

Then, then, I can only beg Father Sun to wait until it gets dark.

On the vast sea, Zhang Heng finally stopped. He patted the little bitch and let out a long sigh.

The group of blue whales had already gone, and he had already seen the beautiful whale fall process.

He believes that there will be a bright tomorrow in the sea ahead.

In contrast, human beings will return to the thick earth after death, while blue whales are another brand new beginning after death.

In the nutrient-poor deep sea, the death of a whale is a feast for other creatures.

From the moment they died, the deep sea began to accept the gift of this huge creature.

The vast blue sea is extremely blue.

The cool sea breeze, with its salty taste, seemed to be silently seeing off the blue whale.

Zhang Heng turned around slowly and stepped onto the fishing boat.

He looked at the sea with infinite emotion in his heart.

In this situation, he really wanted to recite a poem.

The sea was so peaceful and still.

How many stories go unheard.

Desolate underwater world.

It has its own path to prosperity.

what humans do.

It is to return all their lives to the ocean.
