my wonderful zoo

Chapter 253 New Species-Electric Ray
"This is just a female. I don't know if she's pregnant. If not, I have to catch another one to propagate the population..." Considering that it is winter and the animals have not yet come into spring, there is a high probability that this electric ray is not pregnant. Chen Xun quickly left the zoo.

"Have the fleet stop, go back to the place where we just caught the electric rays, and try to catch them again to see if you can catch some more." Chen Xun ordered.

"Is it that disc-shaped fish that looks like a fan?" his subordinate asked.

"Yes, it's the one that was dedicated to me just now." Chen Xun replied.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the fleet began to turn around and return. Under the guidance of a part-time fool, they quickly returned to the place where they had just salvaged the electric ray. All the fishing nets in the fleet were taken out, and some sailors jumped into the sea and dived in. Search underwater.

"Be careful, this kind of fish will discharge electricity, and it will kill you if you get electrocuted in the water." Chen Xun reminded.

People can withstand 220V voltage for a short time in dry air without dying, but it is different in water. 36V can easily kill people.

The part-time fisherman who caught the black-spotted double-finned electric ray was stunned directly and took a while to wake up.

After the arrangements were made, Chen Xun returned to the zoo to start testing this new fish species.

I remember reading a popular science article in my last life. The electricity of the electric ray comes from a kidney-shaped honeycomb generator on both sides of the ventral surface of the cephalothorax.

This generator is a perversion of muscle fibers, and the voltage produced by a single "generator" is very weak.However, there are a lot of them, arranged in a hexagonal column, like an "electric panel" column.

There are 2000 electric poles on an electric ray, which works out to 200 million generators.

This is very scary. Although it is not as good as the electric eel, which cannot kill people, it is already very strong.

If it is strengthened by the zoo and the power generation and voltage are increased, it will be very powerful.

Moreover, Chen Xun's most important thing is to obtain the characteristics of this discharge. With a human's size and weight, after obtaining this ability, he will definitely be much stronger than the electric ray.

Entering the zoo, he found the electric ray again. Chen Xun found that it dived deeper than before. It was basically similar to a king squid. He guessed that this fish might be a deep-sea fish species. No wonder he couldn't catch it before.

Use the zoo permissions to make it float up.

After catching the electric ray ashore, Chen Xun began to test its discharge ability.

The simplest and most direct test method is to let it discharge electricity towards itself. Anyway, the body in the zoo is just a mind body and cannot die.

Once, twice….
When the electric ray runs out of power, put it back into the sea, eat and rest, and then catch it again.

After electrocuting himself, Chen Xun started electrocuting some small fish and shrimps.

Finally, I found that the voltage of this electric stingray is not very powerful, it is estimated to be about 100V. It can electrocute small fish and shrimps to death at once, but for the human body, it only numbs the body for a while.

However, if it comes in contact with water or wet skin, it can still stun people.

After continuous discharge, the current will gradually weaken and disappear completely after 10 to 15 seconds. The discharge capability will be restored after a rest.

"It's amazing. If we can multiply to [-], then control them and make a machine to collect electricity, this will be a small 'fish power' power station." Chen Xun sighed in his heart.

Putting the dying electric ray back into the sea, Chen Xun left the zoo.

"how long it has been?"

"Captain, it's been more than an hour and it's going to be dark soon," the subordinate replied.

"Let's anchor here tonight and set off again at dawn tomorrow." There was no news from his men, which meant that another electric ray had not been caught yet.

The experiment in the zoo just now allowed Chen Xun to confirm that this kind of fish should be a deep-sea fish. With Chen Jiajun's current salvage ability, the possibility of salvaging it from the deep sea is very slim.

It's just a matter of luck, just in case someone gets stuck and wants to swim up and take a look.So Chen Xun planned to wait a little longer and wait one night to see if there was any miracle.

"Turn on all the oil lamps and illuminate the entire sea area." Chen Xun thought of the fish lamps of later generations and remembered that fish have phototaxis.

"Yes! Governor."

Seeing his men busy under the light of the oil lamp, Chen Xun looked forward to the development of technology more and more.

As he learned about various animals, Chen Xun had a vague hunch that the lighthouse jellyfish might not be a large jellyfish. It was possible that this jellyfish was very small and only lived in specific sea areas.

This should be the reason why Chen Xun has never caught it.

Therefore, we can only wait for technological development to advance for a long time before we can catch it.

"It would be great if I could dive into the deep sea and catch the electric ray with a harpoon." One net after another, no trace of the electric ray was found, which made Chen Xun slightly disappointed.

"Yes! You can dive down and catch him!" Suddenly, Chen Xun thought of a way.

Immediately return to the cabin, enter the zoo, find Octopus, and take it and hundreds of its kind to the black-spotted double-fin electric ray.

"Look clearly, it's this kind of fish. I need it very much." Chen Xun pointed at the electric ray and introduced the giant squid.

"Come, feel it." He directed the electric ray to discharge electricity at the eight claws.

Compared with the huge size of BaZhao, the black-spotted double-finned electric ray is too small. I wonder if BaZhao feels it.

"Remember? This is how it feels."

Then he let several other king squids feel it, and now Chen Xun clearly saw signs of shaking on their tentacles.

After leaving the zoo, I came to the side of the boat, put my hand on the outside of the boat, and with a pop, a giant king squid appeared on the sea. It was an eight-clawed squid.

Plop, plop…!
In the middle of winter, Chen Xun didn't go into the water. He just stood on the boat and released hundreds of giant squid like dumplings.

"Okay, go and look for me. If you find the fish just now, catch it for me!" Chen Xun ordered.

I saw Ba Zhao taking the lead first, followed closely by the other king squids. All the squids dived deeper and deeper into the water, and soon they were no longer distinguishable by the naked eye.

"I hope you can succeed." Chen Xun muttered as he stood in anticipation. "But regardless of success or not, the source of new fish species will definitely become very abundant in the future."

"Captain, this big fish is really obedient, but I don't know how it tastes." Chen Zhuang came to the side and asked a speechless question.

"I guess they are also curious about how you taste." Chen Xun replied helplessly.

"I just wanted to ask." Seeing that Chen Xun was not interested in talking about this, Chen Zhuang ended the topic. However, he took a sip of saliva when he finished speaking, indicating that he was not really just talking.

"I'll give you one for you to taste later, it probably won't taste good." In the end, Chen Xun was also aroused by him.

In my previous life, I heard that squid meat is sour, but I have never tasted it, so I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Now that I have the chance, I really should try it.

Besides, the king squid in the zoo are all fortified, so they shouldn’t taste bad.

The meat quality of the previous Mongolian horse meat has changed greatly, and it does not have the sour taste of ordinary horse meat.
