"If it's feasible, then we can do it. I will then purchase equipment and recruit personnel." Song Guoning said.
"We have ready-made personnel in Yanlong Village." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "The fishermen in our village are all first-class swimmers."
This could generate income for the villagers and buy them time to accumulate funds. There was no reason for Xiang Yang to stop this.
Here, Xiang Yang was discussing some specific events with Song Guoning and others.
On the other side, Zhang Qicheng went to the bottom of the sea and was completely attracted by the bizarre scenery on the seabed.
Sometimes he chased and threatened a blue-ringed octopus, and sometimes he swam up to a sea turtle and touched its head. His curious baby look made Chen Qingsheng, who was following behind him, speechless.
Suddenly, Zhang Qicheng's eyes lit up. He saw a stone fish more than 30 centimeters long, half buried in the sand on the seabed.
Zhang Qicheng swam over quickly. When the stonefish saw Zhang Qicheng coming, it remained motionless and didn't even lift its eyelids.
"Is it dead?" Zhang Qicheng was so curious that he tried to turn the stone fish over with his hands.
Chen Qingsheng behind him was shocked and quickly grabbed Zhang Qicheng's arm, waving one hand desperately, indicating to Zhang Qicheng that the stone fish could not be touched.
It turns out that this is not an ordinary stonefish, but the rose stonefish, known as the poisonous king of the sea.
There is also a beautiful legend about the rose stone fish.
Legend has it that when Nuwa was repairing the sky, she accidentally dropped a stone into the sea. The magical colored stone lay at the bottom of the sea waiting for Nuwa to pick it up again and repair the sky.
However, Nuwa actually forgot that a colorful stone fell into the sea, and she didn't remember it until the sky was repaired.
After the sky was repaired, the colorful stone remained in the sea.
As time went by, the small colorful stone became spiritual and became an elf at the bottom of the sea, turning into a 'rose stone' that looked like a colorful reef.
Of course, this is just a beautiful legend.
All the myths and legends in this world have only two purposes: one is to make people believe that there are gods in this world, and the other is to make people believe that everything is God's will. All these precisely prove that there are no gods in this world.
The rose stonefish is a type of stonefish, also known as the rose poison fish. It has a flat body, the front width is approximately equal to the body height, the head is very large, and the shape is similar to an irregular polygon. The fish's mouth is very large and slanted, and from a distance it looks like a vertical crack.
Unlike ordinary stonefish, the rose stonefish does not have any scales on its body.
However, if someone thinks that the defense of rose stone is not good because it does not have fish scales, they are totally wrong.
Although the rose stone fish has no scales on its body, its skin is very thick and has many leathery protrusions of different sizes and shapes. These make its defense really like stone, which is very, very hard.
Zhang Qicheng looked at Chen Qingsheng and gestured with his hands, signaling Chen Qingsheng to grab the rose stone.
Chen Qingsheng nodded, then gestured with his hands, indicating that Zhang Qicheng should step back a little.
After Zhang Qicheng retreated for a distance, Chen Qingsheng took off the net bag from his waist, and then carefully placed the opening of the net bag over the head of the rose stone.
The rose stone finally sensed the danger. It flapped its tail, jumped out of the sand pile, and used the poisonous sting on its back to hit the opening of the net bag.
"So ugly!" Chen Qingsheng frowned. This fish looked even uglier than the ordinary stonefish. There were three wide horizontal bands on its body sides, and a wide arc-shaped stripe in front and behind the pectoral fin. The color in the middle and the outer ends was very light.
Zhang Qicheng became excited. He had only taken a quick look just now and found that the length of the fish might be more than 40 centimeters.
Forty centimeters may not be a big deal for marine fish, as there are plenty of fish in the ocean that are more than ten times longer than this. However, in the stonefish family, this length can definitely be considered a behemoth. A rose stonefish of this length can definitely be placed in a five-star hotel as a treasure. Even in a hotel, no one would be willing to eat it, so it has to be kept as a sacrifice.
Chen Qingsheng's hand shook, and the opening of the net bag was unable to catch the stonefish.
Zhang Qicheng immediately waved his hands and asked Chen Qingsheng to try again.
However, Chen Qingsheng shook his head and spread out his hands, indicating that he had tried his best. The width and height of this fish were larger than the opening of the net bag. It was impossible to catch it in the net bag without touching the poisonous spines on its body.
Zhang Qicheng was scratching his head anxiously. If he saw such a big stonefish, he would definitely not let it go.
However, it is not easy to catch such a large rose stone fish. There are several poisonous fins on the back of the rose stone fish. These poisonous fins are sharper than knives and can easily cut through the skin of most creatures except the leatherback turtle.
There are also venom glands in the body of the rose stone fish, and each venom fin leads directly to the venom gland.
There is a venom sac hidden in the venom gland of the rose stone. The venom in the venom sac is as toxic as cobra venom. When the venom fin stings the target, the venom sac will immediately inject the venom into the prey's body through the venom gland and stinger.
If a human were stung by the poisonous fins of a rose stone, the death would be very ugly.
First, the stab wound will expand rapidly, and the muscle will quickly expand into a ball just like an inflated balloon.
Then, the stabbed person will feel dizzy, followed by continuous cramps, and finally shock and unconsciousness.
Chen Qingsheng pulled Zhang Qicheng and pointed his finger at the water, signaling Zhang Qicheng to get on the boat first and then think of a solution.
Zhang Qicheng immediately shook his head.
Go up
What a joke.
He went up there. What if the stonefish ran away? Who could he turn to for justice
What he didn't know was that if Xiang Yang were here, he would swim back to the surface without hesitation and ask the people on the boat to give him a fish basket or fish tank before coming down.
Rose stones are actually very active throughout their lives. Their activity range is usually only a few meters in radius. Even if they encounter ferocious marine predators, they never escape easily. They live like an immobile stone, lurking in the piles of rocks on the seabed all day long, disguising themselves to blend into the surrounding environment, waiting for an opportunity to prey on small fish and crustaceans that swim close to them.
There is no such thing as escape in the dictionary of rose stone fish.
When you find a rose stone fish on the seabed and don't have the right tools at hand, don't hesitate, just go ashore and get the equipment. Not to mention the time it takes to go back and forth, even if you come back after a month or two, they will still stay there waiting to be caught.
