Evolution from scratch with added points.
Chapter 331 0330 Percussive Breathing and Red Muscle
"Can observing the structure of other creatures also increase attributes?"
"Wait... This should be a learning instinct generated for its own evolution! Just like before, when stimulated by the environment, the body underwent adaptive evolution."
“Observing with the naked eye also provides sensory stimulation!”
Chen Jue's eyes widened slightly, and he was greatly shocked by the sudden new prompt on the panel.
As for Zhang Jian, who was standing by, after noticing that Chen Jue had been staring at the gills of the bluefin tuna in a daze, he also laughed and said, "Chen Jue, this should be your first time fishing for such a large marine fish, right?"
"Tuna are famous for their ability to swim! They swim from the moment they are born until they die, even when they are sleeping or resting. It is not easy to catch them with a hand rod. It takes a lot of energy."
"For people like us, we can only catch two or three fish a day and then basically return to the port."
Zhang Jian said this because he mistakenly thought that Chen Jue had caught such a big fish and was exhausted from fishing.
But although he said it unintentionally, the listener took it to heart.
"Swimming while sleeping?"
"Wouldn't that make it a perpetual motion machine? Won't they feel tired?" Chen Jue was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He had been studying knowledge related to the human body, but had not studied in depth the diversity of other organisms.
Even if one has the maximum level of [Fishing] skill, one is still at a loss when it comes to such a wide variety of seafood.
"Of course you will get tired. What animal won't feel tired?"
"Tuna will also sleep when they are tired of swimming! However, their gill muscles have degenerated, so unlike other fish that can breathe by swallowing water, tuna have to keep swimming forward to breathe, so that water can keep flowing through their gills to ensure oxygen intake."
"Because it swims all its life, the meat quality is very good, which is why tuna meat is so expensive."
“It’s expensive for a reason!”
Zhang Jian briefly introduced the principles of [cavitary breathing] and [impact breathing].
Professional anglers like them who make a living from the sea are naturally very familiar with the living habits of fish.
After listening to these two special breathing methods, Chen Jue began to have many thoughts.
Looking at the spindle-shaped body of this bluefin tuna that looks like a waverider missile, Chen Jue thinks that the name "impact breathing" is particularly appropriate.
Other fish can breathe by swallowing water by opening their mouths, easily and instinctively.
Tuna swim so fast, but they can only survive by constantly hitting the water.
"One can survive by lying down and doing nothing, while the other one keeps inward until death. This is probably the result of natural selection and survival of the fittest!" Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as if he saw the chosen workers in nature.
Of course, in addition to [impact breathing], it also gave Chen Jue many new ideas for the evolution of gills.
The physiological characteristic of tuna that they swim non-stop throughout their lives also made Chen Jue think: "If human muscles can also evolve like tuna, can we also maintain long-term high-intensity exercise without feeling tired?"
Just imagine, if there were employees who could screw in screws while they were sleeping, it would be a situation that would make even the capitalists laugh in their dreams.
……
With the first bluefin tuna being caught on board, Zhang Jian and the two anglers from the island countries became extremely excited with the financial incentive.
The action of swinging the rod and casting the pole has obviously become more active than before.
After all, you can earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan by catching a fish. Such a high income is almost the ceiling for people engaged in physical labor.
Of course, after listening to the physiological characteristics and habits of tuna's [impact breathing], Chen Jue was also not idle.
First record these new discoveries on your phone, and then slowly extract them into the table of "The Strongest Human Training Plan" later.
In addition, Chen Jue heard a lot of knowledge about tuna from Zhang Jian during his subsequent fishing trips.
For example: The reason why tuna keeps swimming is that except for the bones, gills, fins, eyeballs, brain and other organs, the rest of its body is basically muscles!
Moreover, these muscles are not ordinary muscles, but extremely special [red muscles].
For Chen Jue, a "reckless man" who has trained so hard that his brain is almost full of muscles, he is more excited than anyone else when it comes to knowledge about muscles.
You should know that the human body's skeletal muscles are divided into two types: red muscle and white muscle.
White muscle can provide instantaneous explosive power, but it is difficult to sustain it. It is specially used for heavy and explosive anaerobic exercise. In addition, white muscle is also the main body of basal metabolic rate. Red muscle, on the other hand, has weaker explosive power, excellent durability, and can store oxygen. It is specially used for long-term low-intensity aerobic exercise.
To give a more obvious example, long-distance runners in track and field appear to be extremely lean and tall just from their appearance. This is because their daily training has made the red muscles in their bodies extremely developed.
But when it comes to sprinters, this appearance feature is reversed, and their thick thighs and torsos show off their powerful "white muscles".
“No wonder tuna meat is bright red when cut open.”
"It turns out that most of its body is made up of red muscle."
"The large amount of red muscles provides super endurance, allowing it to keep swimming continuously." Chen Jue muttered to himself.
In addition to the outrageous red muscle ratio of nearly 99%, the body temperature of tuna is also very different from that of other cold-blooded fish.
Due to swimming for a long time, the body temperature of tuna is usually maintained in the range of 33.9~35℃, which is lower than that of human body but much higher than the temperature of sea water.
Of course, tuna is not a true biological perpetual motion machine.
Any muscle, once it exceeds its endurance limit, will experience symptoms such as muscle dissolution.
According to Zhang Jian, after the tuna is brought ashore and cut open, if the meat quality shows what the island country's catering industry calls "burned" condition, the price will drop sharply.
This "burning" is because the tuna struggles violently during the fishing process, which causes lactic acid accumulation in the muscles and a rapid increase in the core temperature of the fish body, causing blood to rush into the muscle tissue and form exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis.
"If I can increase the percentage of red muscle in my body."
"If we can stimulate the gills to evolve completely, and turn passive underwater breathing into active breathing, then wouldn't it be possible for us to swim underwater like tuna, or even cross the ocean with our bodies alone?"
After learning a lot of physiological knowledge related to tuna, Chen Jue's eyes began to become hot.
He never expected that he would have so many unexpected gains while going out fishing to kill time.
In particular, simply by observing the structural diversity of other creatures, one can stimulate prompts on the panel, and it also allowed Chen Jue to master a new method of brushing attributes.
Of course, with these new physiological and evolutionary discoveries, Chen Jue’s expectations for subsequent fishing were greatly reduced.
After fishing for another hour or so and seeing no more fish, Chen Jue simply put down his fishing rod. While admiring the vast ocean, he occasionally looked at Zhang Jian and the two anglers from the island country who were trying their best to fight for those few pieces of silver.
This continued until the evening, when three tunas of different sizes were stuffed into the ice storage in the cabin, and the fishing boat slowly returned to the fishing port.
"It's a pity that Ibaraki-san is out of luck."
"Otherwise, we would have returned with a full load." Zhang Jian said with some regret as he steered the boat.
The two anglers from the island country also had different expressions on their faces, and they were sitting in the cabin, puffing on their cigarettes.
This is what life is like for people who live by the sea. There are air forces every day, but not many people really make a lot of money.
However, just when everyone was taking a break and chatting, a large, slightly rusty warship with rows of antennas like a clothesline appeared in Chen Jue's sight.
"Is this... a ship from the US military base?" Chen Jue asked curiously.
Zhang Jian introduced the situation, saying, "This is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. There are several of them docked at the White Beach base. Sometimes Nimitz-class aircraft carriers also come here, as well as some active submarines."
"On the day when the warships are open to the public, you can buy tickets to visit them."
Chen Jue was also moved when he heard this.
In order to contain this dog of an island nation, the United States has illegally stationed troops in Ryukyu for so many years, relying entirely on these powerful ships and guns to flex its muscles and demonstrate its confidence and military power.
However, as time goes by, these old ships can no longer hold up.
Not to mention the distant areas, in the Middle East, the hypersonic anti-ship missiles growing in the desert are enough to cause trouble for these old ships.
The funniest thing is that the American warships kept silent after being hit by hypersonic missiles, and the entire Internet blocked the news of their bombing, for fear that the invincible image they had created for many years would be shattered.
This is really the ultimate application of the ostrich's head buried in the sand approach.
"White Beach Base?"
"I have nothing to do anyway, why don't I sneak in to take a look at night?" Chen Jue muttered in his heart, staring at the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer entering the port in the distance with his eyes flickering. (End of this chapter)
