Golden Fishery

  Qin Shiou carefully looked at these thief-headed, fat and fat bugs. He didn't recognize them at first, but suddenly remembered their identities. These things are boat maggots.

  Don't look at the name, they are called maggots. In fact, they are not insects, but a kind of clams. They are close relatives to the clams that Daguan Qin loves very much, and distant relatives to the gooseneck barnacles he loves more.

From the outside, they are no different from some worms. If you can see with a magnifying glass, they actually have some very thin white shells on their heads, which are hard in texture. They use this shell to twist their bodies to transform themselves into small ones. The drill finally gets into the wood.

  Boat maggots feed on wood. They will select a piece of wood from the beginning of their birth, then go in, devour the wood, digest the wood, so as to survive successfully.

There are many wood-eating animals on land, and they are rare in the ocean. Ship maggots are the only one that has been seen so far. This kind of little thing can cause more damage to the world's ocean transportation industry every year. Ten billion!

For example, in the summer of 2000, several piers in Maine, the United States, collapsed inexplicably. The oak piles supporting the pier were over 9 meters long and 25 centimeters thick. From the outside, they were indestructible, but the inside was covered by ship maggots. Ruined.

  Similar things have happened in Canada. In 1997, a pier at the southwest pier of Hart’s Chek suddenly collapsed and six people fell into the water. Afterwards, the police investigated the cause of the accident and found that it was also a masterpiece of ship maggots.

  In this way, Qin Shiou had an idea, why not cultivate a super ship maggot to make the Japanese sick?

  He didn’t know much about ship maggots, but he saw it by chance while looking through marine biology books. Know that this is a very tough fishery pest.

  As the so-called enemy’s enemy is a friend, the dolphin butcher near Tokyo Bay is his enemy, and the ship maggot is also the enemy of the dolphin butcher, so they can be friends?

  Qin Shiou swears. The boat maggot is his most disgusting friend in his life, but it is also the friend who can help him the most now.

  But for this new friend, he was still relatively unfamiliar, so he got up to search for information. I thought there was a way to deal with those Gulf Butchers. Daguan Qin was so excited, he couldn't help but laugh.

  Vini slapped him, and said with shame and anger: "Why restless? Honestly, get down, the massage has just begun..."

  Qin Shiou reached out with a hippy smile and picked Vinnie's chin, and said frivolously: "Little lady, what are you doing in the back? Brother, I want to listen to music now and play a flute!"

  "My daughter is here. Virtue!" Wei Ni grabbed something and threw it at Qin Shiou. The flying brother Diao had tears in her eyes, so it was me who was always injured.

  Qin Shiou turned on the computer and searched, and found that these seemingly disgusting little friends are really disgusting! Moreover, it is too suitable to use them to revenge, they can be called revenge masters!

  The ship maggot feeds on wood. In other words, they feed on cellulose, the main component of wood. Cellulose is a polymer of sugar molecules that contains rich nutrients, but other marine organisms cannot digest wood because they lack a substance in their bodies: cellulase.

  This enzyme can open and lock sugar molecules together, which is the basic condition for terrestrial animals to enjoy the nutrients in wood. Among marine organisms, only bacteria on boat maggots can secrete cellulase, so they have extraordinary ability to digest wood.

  In this way, the wood becomes a cake in their eyes, click, click, click. A wooden boat sank; it clicked and clicked again. A pier pillar collapsed; if you continue to click, click, and click, the port will be abandoned!

  In addition, ship maggots are particularly ideal avengers, they can only survive in wood. It used to be possible to drift around the world with wooden boats, but now there are still wooden boats. They were all tin boats, so no matter how powerful the boat maggots Qin Shiou made, there was no possibility of it flooding.

  Unless someone stupidly takes the wood containing super ship maggots to other piers, or the Poseidon’s energy transformation ship maggots can eat iron, they will not be able to leave Tokyo Bay.

After Qin Shiou sent the dolphins out of Tokyo Bay, Qin Shiou immediately mobilized the four sea **** consciousnesses back, and attacked everywhere, looking for the wood along the bay. There were ship maggots in these woods.

  Because of the different types of wood, the type and size of the boat maggots in the boarding house are also different. The small ones are only 2 cm to 3 cm long, while the larger ones can grow up to 1 meter, which is the thickness of a baby's arm, just like a snake!

  Regardless of the type, Qin Shiou found the ship maggots and inputted the Seagod’s energy. This time, he had spent the money, regardless of the cost, and output as much as he could.

  His purpose is to make these ship maggots evolve as soon as possible, and then reproduce as soon as possible. As long as the super ship maggots reproduce, Tokyo Bay will have to be renamed Tokyo Steel Bay in the future.

  According to Qin Shiou's investigation data, the reproductive ability of the boat maggot itself is very strong. It is especially capable of laying eggs, which can produce about 5 million each year.

After hatching, the larvae of boat maggots are very small at first, invisible to the naked eye, so they cannot be detected. When something is wrong, the larvae of boat maggots have spread all over the area.

  After the larvae swim in the water for a period of time, they begin to attach to wood when they encounter it. Their life is very happy. The wood can solve their food and lodging problems together, including eating, taking and housing together.

As long as the larvae eat wood fiber, they will grow very fast. According to statistics, boat maggot larvae at this time can grow a hundred times in 16 days; they can grow a thousand times in 36 days, which is about one month or so. Reach sexual maturity, and then begin to lay eggs...

  The more I understand, the more Qin Shiou feels this thing is terrifying.

  All aliens, dinosaurs, and blood parasites are not enough to see in front of this stuff. As long as the size of boat maggots can be magnified ten times, as long as they change their food habits to eat meat, then the end of the world will come!

  Moreover, even if the Japanese find ship maggots in the future, they probably have to catch them blindly. This thing is very difficult to deal with.

  First of all, they are parasitic in the wood, so if you want to completely exterminate them, you have to destroy all the surrounding wood, but is this possible?

  Secondly, boat maggot larvae have strong vitality, and conventional methods cannot kill them. Burning? No, they are parasitic in the wood, and once the fire is fired, the wood is gone. Freezing? Yes, but how to freeze all wooden docks at low temperature?

  Even if chemical methods are used to deal with ship maggots, it is difficult. Wood becomes their protective shell. It is not easy to pass through the wood and act on the ship maggots.

  The widely used method is to use high pressure to inject chemicals into the wood. In the sea water, these chemicals will be slowly released and then kill the boat maggots.

  But just by looking at it, you know how expensive it is to deal with ship maggots in this way!

  And the cost is not the main reason that restricts chemical methods to remove ship maggots! (To be continued~^~)
