Chapter 151 Group Comparison Experiment of Lei Guang Shui Hao
The thunderfly has a big head, and its compound eyes are very large, which makes it easier for it to see underwater.
It has a large appetite and needs to travel many places every day to fill its stomach.
There are two cable-like tentacles on the top of the head. When the mouth is opened, spiral-shaped sharp teeth appear inside.
It has six legs. The front tentacles are thick and powerful, and there are hairs on them. These hairs have a radar-like effect and can help the thunderfly sense the movement around it.
The male's thunderfly tail has a hook shape, just like the shape of a plug.
The female's tail is square, like the shape of a socket.
The Sun Flower Emperor took out the thunder bladder and the crystal core of the ancient lantern fish, which were important experimental materials.
Ye Bai actually discovered a problem. What the Eye of Insight saw was only a possibility. In fact, there were some deeper evolutionary routes that were not revealed.
This time he also used this opportunity to test whether his thoughts were correct.
Although the Eye of Insight is powerful, relying too much on it may be counterproductive.
After all, the Eye of Insight is equivalent to knowing the answer in advance. As long as you follow the requirements of the Eye of Insight, you will basically have an 80% to 90% success rate.
This is equivalent to wasting Ye Bai's first talent - photographic memory.
This talent is the most suitable talent for conducting experiments. It allows Ye Bai to observe carefully and find clues.
Ye Bai was divided into five groups, and the proportions of thunder galls and ancient lantern fish crystal nuclei were fed in the ratios of three to seven, four to six, five to five, six to four, and seven to three.
Let’s see if a miracle happens and a hidden evolutionary route emerges.
Of course, in order to prevent the thunder worms from starving to death, Ye Bai had to invest a lot of night larvae.
First, it is helpful for Ye Bai to observe how the thunderfly eats and how much night larvae it consumes in an average of 24 hours.
The second is to observe how the thunderfly preys on night larvae.
As for where the night larvae come from, if you cast a fishing net in the Jiaying River now, nine out of ten cages will be full of night larvae.
There is no shortage of resources for this kind of high-quality protein. The people in the Animal Pet Guild would like you to pack up all the night larvae and take them away.
But Ye Bai knew that this would not fundamentally solve the problem unless the night larvae could be eaten and tasted good.
In this way, invasive alien species such as night larvae may be eaten to the point of extinction, and may even require artificial breeding to continue the race.
After all, the Yandong area is said to be edible for those who crawl on the ground and swim in the water.
Even a kind of food called water cockroach is known as a delicacy. It is boiled in boiling water to remove the smell of urine, then fried in an oil pan, and then sprinkled with a handful of cumin and salt and pepper. The taste is not too bad. good.
It's a pity, the skin of dark night larvae is very hard and the taste is unbearable.
It only takes five days for them to advance from larvae to night mosquitoes.
As long as the night mosquito absorbs enough blood, it can give birth to the next generation. This time ranges from three to five days.
Therefore, you must take advantage of these few days to snipe the night mosquitoes, otherwise the night mosquitoes will absorb enough blood and form an army of night mosquitoes. In history, the outbreak of night mosquitoes turned the people of a small country into white bones.
At that time, the leaders of the Night Mosquitoes all turned into four-winged black mosquitoes. This alien beast was so difficult to deal with that nuclear bombs were finally deployed to completely destroy it.
Judging from system intelligence, it is the people of the Five Poison Sect who are secretly supporting the growth of Night Mosquito.
It looks like we will have to face off against the Five Poison Sect in the near future. This is a sect that is good at manipulating poisonous insects.
Ye Bai made a phone call, and the people from the Animal Pet Guild caught a large number of night larvae.
Because of his outstanding performance at the meeting, he has been appointed as the deputy leader of the epidemic prevention and control team, specializing in coordinating research on the evolution of water hyacinth and night mosquito prevention and control.
The reason why Ye Bai was entrusted with such an important job at such a young age is because everyone felt that Zhang Lingxue behind Ye Bai would help.
After all, Zhang Lingxue appointed Ye Bai to attend the meeting on his behalf. Ye Bai was studying the evolution of water hyacinth, while Zhang Lingxue was studying the evolution of water hyacinth.
In fact, Zhang Lingxue was just crazy busy in order to cope with the inspection. Now she was in retreat all day and night, and even the control of the secret land of the burrowing rat was given to Ye Bai.
Now it is very difficult for Ye Bai to even see Zhang Lingxue, let alone others. She will definitely act like I am busy and don't come to me for anything.
Ye Bai thought about it carefully and realized that the night mosquito and the blood pool actually complemented each other.
Dark Night Mosquitoes need the essence of blood to reproduce in large numbers, and the blood pool contains blood essence.
As long as resources are sufficient, it may be possible to cultivate a two-winged black mosquito. As for cultivating a four-winged black mosquito, it is estimated that a massive amount of resources will be needed.
The tanks that Ye Bai put out were very large, each with a space of two meters by two meters by two meters.
Each water tank is equipped with at least four cameras, and the cameras are also protected against electric shock. In this way, the movements of each lightning water turtle can be clearly observed.
Between the different groups of lightning water flies, Ye Bai also made a mark on their backs with a marker.
There are large and small night larvae, the big one is about the size of a fist, and the small one is about the size of a thumb.
Ye Bai put a hundred night larvae into each water tank.
In this way, he can better record the number of night larvae that the thunderfly worms prey on in a day. With objective data, Ye Bai can better advance his work and give an explanation to the people of the breeders' union.
The dark night larvae swung their tails flexibly in the water tank. Their swimming speed in the water was not slow. They swung their bodies flexibly and made flexible movements in the water tank.
Moreover, as soon as they saw the lightning water flies, they seemed to be like sharks smelling the smell of blood, surrounding the thunder water flies.
The food of the night larvae is very mixed, including dead branches and leaves, and small fish in the river. Even if they are strange beasts like thunder-light water flies, which are much larger than themselves, they dare to fight them.
The night larva stretched out its needle-like mouthparts, and they stabbed hard at the body of the Lei Guang Shuihao.
Some thunder-light water bugs ignored the attacks of the dark night larvae at all. Instead, they opened their mouths and sucked hard in the direction of the dark night larvae. Dozens of the dark night larvae swallowed them into their mouths and chewed them with their sharp teeth.
Its movements were so big that it scared the night birds around it into hiding, for fear of being spotted by the lightning and water flies.
Some lightning water turtles erupted with traces of electric arcs. As the arcs spread throughout the water tank, all the night larvae were trembling with electricity and floated up with their bellies turning white.
They were struck by the lightning and stretched out their thick and powerful claws, directly grabbed a stunned night larvae, and bit off the head in one bite.
Some thunder-light water bugs lazily summoned a small vortex in the water tank. All the night larvae felt a terrifying suction force coming from the vortex, and they were sucked into it before they had time to move. , the body was beaten to pieces.
The thunder water snake opened its mouth and sucked it in, and these stumps and broken arms were sucked into it.
At this moment, Ye Bai discovered that a fist-sized night larva suddenly floated motionless on the water.
Its body is constantly struggling inside.
A crack opened in the dark night's back, and soon the crack spread, getting bigger and bigger, as if something was trying to get out.
Not long after, a pair of slender legs was exposed, and a wet night mosquito crawled out of it.
Before it could react, it was swallowed by the lightning water turtle, and in the end, only a piece of skin was left floating alone on the water.
The thunder-light waterfly has been observing the night mosquito for some time, and when it saw it emerging from its pupa, it immediately attacked.
At this time, Ye Bai made another observation. Compared to the night gnats, the lightning water flies seemed to be more interested in the night mosquitoes that were about to emerge from their pupae.
They even began to stop attacking the fist-sized night larvae. Instead, they drove out the smaller night larvae.
Ye Bai watched them specifically attack the night mosquitoes that had emerged from their pupae but had not yet been able to fly.
There were a lot of larvae floating on the water tank. Ye Bai counted them, and it seemed that his guesses were few.
The male thunderfly ate about 600 night larvae in just one hour.
The female thunderfly ate about 500 of them.
Including the digestion time of the thunderfly, the male thunderfly can eat about 6,000 night larvae in a day, while the female can eat about 5,000.
Ye Bai also discovered that these lightning water flies are very clever. They will catch small ones and enlarge them, deliberately keeping those night larvae that are about to emerge into mosquitoes, and swallow them the moment they emerge from their pupae.
Before Ye Bai could conduct the next evolution experiment, Ye Bai was called away by a phone call from a breeder's union.
Before leaving, Ye Bai also asked Da Hui and Sun Flower King to prepare records. They had to record how many times they fed into the water tank, and Da Hui also made sure that no night mosquitoes could escape.
Since he was walking in a hurry, Ye Bai arrived at the Cultivator Guild in less than ten minutes.
President Liu and President Wang looked depressed and their faces were as dark as ink, as if something had happened.
“Ye Bai, a large-scale invasion of night mosquitoes occurred in Xijiang Province. The situation is quite critical. Special inspection envoys have been sent to deal with it.”
“Small-scale night mosquitoes have also appeared in various cities in Yandong Province. Now President Zhang requires us to come up with a plan for each city.”
“Especially in Jiaying City, since it is not far from Xijiang Province, we are afraid that some night mosquitoes will migrate from Xijiang Province.”
“So we must come up with a countermeasure.”
“The idea of dragonflies is a good idea, but we currently have no way to form a large-scale dragonfly population. This is the most important problem we face now.”
Hey, actually it’s not that I want to write about hydrology. There are some plots that I came up with myself. For example, I probably know the plot about floods now, so I’m going to specialize in this direction. Thank you all book friends for giving me the opportunity. I will do my best. Keep writing. Last month, I planned to read this book every month. Thank you for your support. Sometimes, I have to promote the development of the plot. At the starting point, I will read it every day. It’s so tiring, and the psychological pressure is too great. If I could write four thousand of this book in one day, I would probably write better.
