Xiang Yang saw through Zhou Lili's thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "There is no antidote for being bitten by a blue-ringed octopus."
"Ah?" Zhou Lili was stunned: "There is no antidote?"
"Yes." Xiang Yang said seriously: "The toxicity of the blue-ringed octopus toxin is very strong. It will paralyze the respiratory system of the prey bitten by it and cause it to die within an hour."
Even Song Guoning was moved now. He asked, "The mortality rate is 100%?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "And this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that there is no pain when being bitten by a blue-ringed octopus. The bitten person may not even feel that he has been injured. Many divers did not know that they were bitten by a blue-ringed octopus until the moment of their death, and they continued to pick up blue-ringed octopuses on the seabed and play with them with great interest."
Song Guoning rubbed his hands together. "This is a bit scary. The poison is strong, and you won't feel anything after being bitten. The poison takes effect quickly, and the consequences of poisoning are serious. I see that there are many people diving in your Yanlong Village. Haven't you ever found this kind of octopus before?"
"Absolutely not." Xiang Yang said very affirmatively.
Once bitten by a blue-ringed octopus, the person is basically dead. The blue-ringed octopus toxin will affect the entire human nervous system in a very short period of time. The poisoned person will have blurred vision, lose the sense of smell and language ability, have difficulty breathing, and his limbs will become paralyzed. Because it is a neurotoxin, the victim will not be able to feel these symptoms even if he has already developed them.
If any of the villagers in Yanlong Village had encountered such a terrifying creature, it would have been known to everyone long ago.
"That means they live permanently in this sea area. They don't swim towards the shore, but this kind of thing is unpredictable. Mr. Xiang, do you have any way to get rid of this blue-ringed octopus?" Song Guoning asked.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "Because the blue-ringed octopus is so poisonous, it has no natural enemies in nature. In the ocean, the blue-ringed octopus is one of the most poisonous creatures. A bite from this octopus will kill you. The only thing to be thankful for is that this octopus will not actively attack humans unless they are under great threat."
Song Guoning wiped his face and asked, "No natural enemies?"
"In fact, it's not that it doesn't have natural enemies. It's just that its natural enemies are rarer than it. Basically, there is no need to think about making them extinct by releasing their natural enemies. This is impossible." Xiang Yang said helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true." Song Guoning said with a smile, "First, tell me what its natural enemies are."
Seeing that Song Guoning was still unwilling to give up, Xiang Yang could only say, "Okay, then I'll tell you about a few species of creatures and see if you can get a few of them over, Mr. Song."
"Well, tell me." Song Guoning said domineeringly, "Whether it's flying in the sky or swimming in the water, as long as you can name it, I should be able to get it."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Sperm whale."
"What?"
Song Guoning glared and asked, "Whale?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The entire whale family is the natural enemy of the octopus family. Among them, the sperm whale can devour tens of thousands of blue-ringed octopuses in one bite. It is definitely the biggest natural enemy of the blue-ringed octopus."
"You think too highly of me." Song Guoning said, "The only person in the world who can get a whale privately is probably Bill Gates, who raises whales in his own yard. I can't get this one, let's try someone else."
Xiang Yang shrugged and said, "In addition to sperm whales, there are also hawksbill turtles."
The hawksbill turtle is a type of sea turtle. It is a large and ferocious carnivorous animal in the ocean. It often appears in coral reefs. It mainly preys on fish, shrimp, crabs and mollusks. It also eats blue-ringed octopus and jellyfish. It has strong mobility and swims fast. It likes to forage in coral reefs, continental shelves or shallows covered with brown algae.
Song Guoning was completely silent now.
What is hawksbill turtle
First-class protected animal.
There are more of them than giant pandas, and many marine life parks do not have them.
Where can he get a hawksbill turtle
Xiang Yang smiled and said, actually... he could get the whale.
In fact, the blue-ringed octopus has another common natural enemy, the basking shark. Like the hawksbill turtle, the basking shark is not afraid of food poisoning. When food is extremely scarce, it will even eat garbage and other waste thrown away by ships.
But Xiang Yang would not tell these.
Xiang Yang is actually very conflicted right now.
On the one hand, he was looking forward to people like Li Chao coming in to invest and quickly build up the Qinglongwan coastal tourist area. On the other hand, he didn't want all the tourism projects in the entire Qinglongwan sea area to be divided up by people like Li Chao.
Everyone is selfish.
Xiang Yang is not that selfish. Even if he doesn't engage in water projects, he still has ways to make money.
But Xiang Yang also has a sense of closeness and distance, he has to consider the villagers. Xiang Yang believes that the villagers cannot beat Li Chao and his friends in the water rides, but as for the underwater rides, Xiang Yang feels that with his help, the villagers of Yanlongcun can still manage them.
However, this will take time for the villagers to change their mindset and accumulate funds.
Xiang Yang is now buying time for the villagers.
"There is no solution to the blue-ringed octopus, and besides the blue-ringed octopus, we don't know how many other dangerous marine creatures exist in this sea area. It is not easy to develop coastal tourism in Qinglong Bay." Xiang Yang tentatively said.
Song Guoning and Li Chao looked at each other.
Li Chao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will surround the coastline with nets, and we can discuss the rest slowly."
Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Brother Chao, Mr. Song, you guys can discuss it slowly. I will continue to work in the sea."
"Okay, go ahead." Li Chao nodded.
Xiang Yang immediately walked towards the side of the ship.
"Wait." Song Guoning called out to Xiang Yang.
"Um?"
"The blue-ringed octopus actually has a natural enemy." Song Guoning said with a smile.
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. The blue-ringed octopus does have a natural enemy, but the basking shark is not easy to deal with either!
Song Guoning took out a blank check from his pocket and said, "From now on, I will accept creatures like blue-ringed octopuses. Are you willing to catch one for 100 yuan?"
"puff!"
Xiang Yang almost vomited blood. It turns out that the last natural enemy of the blue-ringed octopus you mentioned is you
Xiang Yang said speechlessly: "Boss Song, there are a lot of blue-ringed octopuses under the sea. The group I saw before probably had no less than a thousand."
Zhou Lili also said: "The most important thing is that these blue-ringed octopuses may not be caught in a short period of time, because there is no difference between a thousand and one for us. For those of us who are engaged in development, the only difference between danger is whether there is danger or not, not whether there is more or less."
Li Chao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Brother Ning's idea is brilliant. We can pay some money and hire someone to catch these blue-ringed octopuses. We won't have to worry about not being able to catch all of them. Brother Xiang, what do you think of this idea?"
Xiang Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "It is feasible, but it will take more time than one or two days to complete."
Using this method to clean up the blue-ringed octopuses, it will take at least a year to ensure that all the blue-ringed octopuses are caught. Because after all the blue-ringed octopuses are caught, people will have to continue to patrol the waters for several months. Only when this type of octopus is not seen for several consecutive months can it be considered that this type of octopus has been truly cleared.
