Xiang Yang nodded without asking any more questions. He thought that Li Gesheng might be a new anchor, so he comforted him casually, "It's okay, take your time, this is what newbies do."
Li Gesheng opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was not a newcomer.
Soon, the charcoal burned red.
Xiang Yang led people to put charcoal into the barbecue grill.
"Hurry, Lao Zhang, help me cut open this octopus. I want to eat teppanyaki octopus today." Li Chao grabbed a large octopus over 30 centimeters in one hand and turned to shout at Zhang Qichao.
"Ha." Zhang Qichao laughed, the meaning was self-evident.
Xiang Yang was shocked to see Li Chao holding a live octopus with one hand, and quickly shouted: "Brother Chao, put it down, you can't hold an octopus like this, it's dangerous."
Although the octopus is a mollusk, it is actually a very dangerous creature. It is a famous victorious general in the ocean. Except for whales, many of its natural enemies are no match for it.
Li Chao shook off the octopus's tentacles that were about to wrap around his arm with one hand, "Don't worry, your brother Chao never does anything without confidence. Although I'm not a fisherman, I have caught more octopuses than you, and an octopus of this size can't hurt me."
Xiang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "So you are also a veteran."
Li Gesheng asked curiously: "Brother Yang, Brother Chao, are octopuses scary?"
"He's a bully in the ocean. Are you afraid of him?" Li Chao said.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Octopuses are extremely powerful and smart. Many marine animals are afraid of them. Their eight tentacles are very sensitive, and each tentacle has about 300 suction cups. The pulling force of these suction cups is very terrifying. If a person's arm is sucked by an octopus' suction cup and pulled down, it will definitely tear the person's skin."
Tang Bao gave a more detailed data, "For an octopus weighing 15 kilograms and with tentacles 1 meter long, each of its suction cups can have a pulling force of 100 grams, and its total suction force can reach more than 200 kilograms. No matter what creature is entangled by the octopus, it is extremely difficult to escape. In other words, the octopus's suction cups can entangle creatures that are more than ten times its own weight, and can easily kill creatures that are more than ten times its own weight."
"So scary!" Li Gesheng exclaimed, and his eyes were different when he looked at the octopus in Li Chao's hand.
Xiang Yang smiled.
There is actually more to the horror of octopuses.
The most terrifying thing about the octopus is that its tentacles are as highly sensitive as human hands and are used to detect external movements.
When the octopus is resting, its tentacles will be on duty for one or two days. The tentacles on duty will constantly explore the surroundings. If any external creature approaches, the octopus will immediately jump up and fight with the opponent.
When Xiang Yang discovered the French blue dragon on the seabed, he encountered a squid that was more than three meters long. Xiang Yang rushed up without hesitation.
If the three-meter-long squid was replaced by an octopus over three meters long, Xiang Yang would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation, and would not have the slightest desire to fight.
However, it is more likely that the three-meter-long octopus will turn around and leave without hesitation when it sees Xiang Yang.
Unlike warlike creatures such as the giant squid, although octopuses are scary, they are not warmongers. Not only do they have the same high winning rate in battles as Zhao Zilong, but their tempers are also similar to that of the undefeated general Zhao Zilong.
A French biology professor once shot a very interesting video on the seabed. In the video, a well-fed octopus was lying on the beach to rest.
At this time, a ferocious sea lion pounced on the octopus.
Sea lions are very warlike. The octopus didn't want to pay any attention to the sea lion, so it simply mutilated one of its tentacles and fed it to the sea lion as food. It then constricted the blood vessels in the wound to make it heal quickly, and then swam away leisurely.
As a result, at this time another sea lion came from another direction.
One of the two sea lions was devouring the octopus's tentacles, while the other pounced on the octopus fiercely.
At this time, the octopus, which had already mutilated one of its tentacles, became angry and waved its remaining tentacles towards the sea lion.
After a fierce battle, the result was unbelievable to the biologists. One of the two sea lions was seriously injured and escaped, while the other was entangled by the squid's tentacles and dragged to the bottom of the sea where it suffocated to death.
"Speaking of octopuses, there is another interesting thing." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Octopuses have extremely strong vitality. Since octopuses can store water in the mantle cavity, they will not die quickly after leaving the sea water. They are more drought-resistant than humans. It is said that humans can only live for three days without drinking water, but octopuses can live for four or five days after leaving the water."
"It can tolerate drought better than humans? Is it still a fish?" Li Gesheng asked in surprise.
"That's not all." Xiang Yang opened his hands and gestured, "Octopuses have another unique way to escape. When I was in college, a teacher once took us to do an experiment. In the laboratory, the professor put a one-meter-long octopus into a sealed box, leaving only a small hole less than three centimeters in the box. As a result, we watched helplessly as such a large octopus crawled out of the small hole less than three centimeters."
This is a true story.
The octopus's body is really very soft, just like a piece of plasticine. Not only can it change its shape at will, it can even turn itself into a pancake.
At this time, Li Gesheng suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that someone in her live broadcast room gave her a set of gifts worth 500 yuan, and typed for her to ask Xiang Yang to continue speaking.
Li Gesheng quickly pointed the camera at Xiang Yang and asked, "Brother Yang, what you said is so interesting, can you tell me more?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Of course, there are many interesting creatures in the ocean, and there are many more magical creatures than octopuses. But since we are talking about octopuses today, I will talk about octopuses first."
Li Gesheng nodded repeatedly. She had already noticed from the corner of her eye that after Xiang Yang said this, someone in the live broadcast room gave her another gift.
Xiang Yang smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what the biggest difference between humans and apes is in Darwin's theory of evolution?"
Li Gesheng blinked and said with a silly look on his face: "IQ?"
"No." Zhang Qicheng walked over. "It's tools. Humans and apes have a common ancestor, so there was no difference in IQ at the beginning. The reason why they eventually split into two completely different evolutionary methods is that human ancestors learned to use tools."
"Is that so?" Li Gesheng asked quickly.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.
Then Xiang Yang's expression turned serious, "What I'm going to say next is something very terrifying."
