Rebirth: I Farm in Hell to Live a Lifelong Life
Chapter 121 Aquarium
This cloud of white mist was unusual, rolling up and down to six or seven feet high, emitting a stench like that of dead fish, making it hard to breathe. The white mist also made a long sound, like a groan, rolling all the way to the west.
Xu Qingyue's face was solemn. She seemed to have read all the books in the pile that Yan Yan gave her.
The plague demon is a mountain spirit that can spread plague. All people can see is a cloud of white mist or a whirlwind. The mountain spirit looks like a green-skinned child with evil red eyes and a weird smile. Legend has it that it is the reincarnation of Exu's child after his death.
The white fog or whirlwind of the plague often emits a fishy and unpleasant smell.
However, the plague will not spread over a large area, but only target one person or a family. Both humans and animals will be infected and die from the plague.
Plague demons do not belong to the underworld ghost clan. Instead, they are evil spirits in the world of the living that live in deep mountains and bad waters.
At this time, the voice of Firefly appeared in Xu Qingyue's mind. It turned out that Firefly had drilled into the jade bracelet, so that it could communicate with Xu Qingyue without speaking.
"Master, I recognize this thing, but it is still an unconscious mountain spirit. It is called Plague Demon, and it can make people and animals sick. In the past, encountering Plague Demon was almost an unsolvable problem, but now that medical standards have improved, it should not cause serious consequences."
Xu Qingyue immediately grasped the key point in Yinghuo's words:
"It won't cause serious consequences. I mean, there will be consequences, right? They may get sick, they may die, but the mortality rate is not that high."
"Yes, that's it, Master."
Xu Qingyue immediately patted his chest, feeling that it was a correct decision to let Firefly protect the flamingos.
However, the white fog goes all the way west. Are there other animals in the west?
Xu Qingyue quickly asked the staff.
"What other animals are there west of the zoo?"
The breeder said:
"To our west is the oceanarium and Monkey Mountain."
Xu Qingyue had a headache.
Are there viruses in the ocean?
The answer is yes, and in astonishing numbers.
For nearly a century, marine biologists believed that the oceans were virus-free. When they looked at seawater under a microscope, they found no viruses at all, so they concluded that the ocean environment was too harsh for viruses to survive in large numbers.
But there are always people who are more serious. In 1986, a biologist named Rita Proctor decided to make a closer and more systematic observation. She investigated the seawater in the Caribbean Sea and the Sargasso Sea and found an astonishing number of viruses. Since then, other researchers have also confirmed that the ocean is indeed a virus soup.
There are approximately (1x1031) virus particles in the ocean. If the aquarium is connected to the sea water, Xu Qingyue doesn't know how serious the consequences will be.
You should know that diseases in water are more difficult to treat than those on land, because it is impossible for humans to stay in the water all the time to observe the health of marine life.
The scope of human activities determines that human exploration and understanding of the ocean are very limited.
Xu Qingyue pretended to be interested and asked:
"Oh? Is the seawater in the aquarium natural seawater? Because I see we are quite close to the beach."
Nie Yunlang didn't know when his sister became interested in these things, but he accompanied Xu Qingyue patiently.
[ ailove: I don’t think I have ever thought about this problem. Every time I go to the aquarium, I just look at the animals and never pay attention to these issues.
Little Sun Shines: What happened to those flamingos just now? Why do they suddenly seem so scared?
Keke: Have you ever heard that animals can see things that we can't see?
Wendy: But they will miss the sightseeing bus.]
The breeder didn't expect Xu Qingyue to ask this question, but she still answered with a smile:
“We use artificial seawater here.”
Many coastal cities with oceanariums are located in places like estuaries and inner bays, near industrial enterprises, marine aquaculture farms and shipping channels. The water is often turbid, polluted, and often has red tides, which are unbearable for delicate coral reef creatures. The cost of filtering this dirty seawater is sometimes even higher than preparing artificial seawater with fresh water.
With the development of technology today, artificial seawater can also meet the demand - sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, and 20 to 40 kinds of trace elements are mixed into "artificial sea salt" according to the proportion of minerals in seawater.
Tap water in big cities is sufficient, but most of the creatures in the aquarium live in clean seawater, which is very sensitive to pollution, and the impurities in tap water will react chemically with artificial salt. Therefore, in the backstage of the inland aquarium, sophisticated filtering equipment is equipped to remove dust, rust, sand and other impurities and chlorine in the tap water, and then add ozone for sterilization before adding artificial sea salt to prepare seawater.
[In this way, even if a virus appears, it will be within the controllable range. ]
"Fourth brother, can we go to the aquarium?"
Although Nie Yunlang didn't know why Xu Qingyue suddenly wanted to go to the aquarium, he still fulfilled his sister's request.
It’s her sister’s freedom to record the variety show if she wants to, and not to record it if she doesn’t want to. Of course he has to satisfy her.
"Okay, let's go then."
[Little Sun Shining:? Are you kidding me? We are still recording a program. We said we were going to the aquarium, so we went. Do you know what dedication is?
Shining Little Sun: Brother is too tolerant of Xu Qingyue, they are not really in love, right?
Wendy: But Xu Qingyue calls Nie Yunlang "fourth brother", and it sounds like there is a ranking. Could they be relatives?
Little Sun Shines: They both don't have the same last name, don't flatter yourself
Wendy: If you have nothing to do, just go make an appointment to get your brain treated. Does that mean cousins are no longer relatives?
Wendy: Also, I’m not a fan of Xu Qingyue, nor am I a black fan. I’m just a passerby. But you confront everyone you meet. Aren’t you afraid of bringing bad things to Nie Yunlang? You’re not a black fan, are you?
Little Sun Shines: You are the anti-fan, your whole family is the anti-fan! ! ! ]
Xu Qingyue and Nie Yunlang came to the oceanarium. The oceanarium in City B Zoo can be said to be one of the best in the country, with a wide variety of animals, including large sharks, beluga whales and other marine life.
"So beautiful."
Nie Yunlang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the aquarium that was decorated like an underwater world.
"Hasn't Fourth Brother been here before?"
Nie Yunlang replied:
"I have never been to places like amusement parks, zoos, and oceanariums since I was a child."
Xu Qingyue was a little surprised. As the fourth son of the Nie family who had been spoiled since childhood, he had never been to the aquarium?
