My Deep-sea Fishery

Li Gesheng looked at Xiang Yang's serious face and thought it was a little funny, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Could it be that octopuses can also use tools?"

"Yes, yes, the octopus is a very capable animal. It can use various tools skillfully, such as carrying stones."

Stones are very versatile for octopuses.

The octopus knows how to use stones to build buildings. When there is nowhere to hide, the octopus will build a house by itself. It piles stones, shells and crab shells together to build a nest similar to a volcanic eruption, and then hides in it. less than it.

In addition, stones are also offensive weapons and self-defense weapons for octopuses.

When an octopus fights with natural enemies, it often grabs two stones that are half the size of its head. One is the octopus' attack weapon. Self-defense weapon, when it fights with other ferocious marine predators, it will use a large stone as a shield in front of its head. No matter which direction the opponent attacks from, it must attack its head first. The rock it rolls around.

Blocking the octopus can't beat the opponent, and when it wants to retreat, it will break the back with stones.

"Octopuses can also build houses? Brother Xiang, are you talking nonsense? Why haven't I heard of this?" Li Chao looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously.

Zhang Qicheng also frowned, "I do know that octopus, like squid, likes to hide in bottles and cans, or sunken ships and other sealed places. I don't know about building houses."

Many animals have the habit of building nests.

The most famous ones are birds, such as swallows. The nests made by swallows are still a very precious food material.

But those are all creatures on land, and there are very few creatures that build nests among marine creatures.

"Yes, octopuses can build houses, and octopuses can build houses is very interesting." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Octopus is one of the most common creatures in the ocean. Xiang Yang had learned about this creature when he was in school, so he knew a lot of things, and Yang also knew a little about many interesting things that have no practical use but do exist.

"Every time an octopus builds a nest, it is done at night. Before midnight, there is no movement at all. After midnight, the octopus seems to have received an order. It will quickly use its eight legs to crawl quickly on the bottom of the sea, collecting fish everywhere. It can carry stones that can be moved, and gather all those stones together to build a stone house that can be drilled by itself."

In 2009, scientists discovered an "Octopus City" at a depth of 10-15 meters in Jervis Bay in eastern Australia.

The layout of that octopus city is similar to that of a city where human beings live. The houses are well arranged, and there are standard intervals between houses, just like the convenient and developed transportation in a city.

At first, scientists thought they had discovered an alien civilization and were very excited.

But later, through research and investigation, it was learned that it was actually a gathering place for a group of octopuses.

A series of stone nests form the octopus city, with peculiar buildings and perfect layout.

Those stone nests are mostly made of food scraps, glass bottles and fishing bait.

Scientists speculate that the octopuses stretched their tentacles out of the stone nest and gathered the surrounding gravel to strengthen their nest, but the specific reason is that the formation of Octopus City is too old, and the researchers have no way of knowing what it really is. secret.

A scholar published a report on Octopus City in the journal "Marine Freshwater Behavior and Physiology". The report said: Octopus City does exist, but Octopus City is more like a university dormitory than a city. In Octopus City, octopuses will interact with each other. Cooperating and signaling, protecting mates, males chasing each other, changing roommates, and even ignoring unwelcome companions.

The discovery of Octopus City broke people's inherent cognition of octopuses.

Before 2009, scientists defined octopuses as lonely and solitary. Marine biologists believed that octopuses were moody and eager to live alone, and they were not interested in so-called companions or partners. When the larvae hatch, they leave.

After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he found that Li Chao, Zhang Qicheng, and Li Gesheng were all looking at him with tangled faces.

Xiang Yang suddenly burst out laughing, "Why do you all look at me with this expression?"

Li Chao laughed and joked, "Brother Xiang, I didn't expect you to have a talent for telling stories."

Xiang Yang: "."

Xiang Yang took it as a story, and Li Chao and the others took it as a story, but they didn't realize that what Xiang Yang said was actually true.

Seeing that Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng didn't believe it, Xiang Yang didn't explain much, "Come on, cut open this bamboo saury, let's roast this fish first."

Li Chao and the others didn't take it seriously, but someone did.

It was a tourist in Li Gesheng's live broadcast room.

"Ge Sheng, I checked on the Internet just now, and what that buddy said seems to be true."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"What really?"

"Octopus City? Don't be ridiculous. You don't dare to shoot like this in sci-fi movies. How could this kind of thing be true?"

"If it's true, I'll broadcast the 15th electric fan on the day of the live broadcast."

There was a voice of doubt in the live broadcast room.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, the man said angrily, "Is it true that you don't know how to search online?"

Then

"Fuck!"

"my eyes!"

"There really is an Octopus City in this world!"

"How is it possible? I don't have any impression of such explosive news?"

The live broadcast room exploded in an instant. Dozens of people abruptly gave the impression that hundreds of thousands of people were watching the live broadcast. Even the popularity of Li Gesheng's live broadcast room improved several industry rankings in an instant. A dozen tourists came in.

Li Gesheng looked at the barrage, and then at Xiang Yang who was standing in front of the barbecue grill, "Brother Yang."

"Huh?" Xiang Yang looked at her.

"What you just said is true?" Li Gesheng asked.

Xiang Yang smiled, "I never tell lies."

Li Chao, Zhang Qicheng and others were confused, "What's true? Why never tell lies."

"Octopus City!" Li Gesheng handed the phone to Li Chao, and imitated everyone's way of calling Li Chao Brother Chao, "Look, Brother Chao, my friends in the live broadcast room just checked online. There is Octopus City."

Li Chao insisted, "This is impossible."

"I checked it online? Which online? I'll check it too." Zhang Qicheng took out his phone and typed in the words Octopus City.

Then, he read word by word: "In 2009, people discovered an octopus city off the coast of Australia. On September 27, 2017, scientists found another octopus city with a depth of 10-15 meters in the nearby sea."
