Chapter 133 Five yolk eggs

When the fishing net was towed to the deck, the fried egg jellyfish in the net continued to spray poisonous water arrows, but the strength and volume were greatly reduced, and the threat to the workers became extremely small.

Obviously in the process of being dragged, the panicked jellyfish sprayed almost all of their body cargo.

Of course, the word “panic” is open to discussion. Renault is not sure whether jellyfish, a mindless creature, will have a higher level of emotional response such as “panic”.

Although this is a large fishing net with a length of more than 30 meters, there are only more than 20 fried egg jellyfish in the net, which is not as many as expected, because these jellyfish are really too big, and they are not clumsy in the water, unique water flow The jet makes them move quite fast, and it is not too difficult to dodge the fishing net.

As soon as the fishing nets were untied, several workers held 3 or 4 meter long bamboo poles and carefully pierced them at the fried egg jellyfish.

The top of the bamboo poles were tied with sharp knives, which easily pierced the outermost layer of glue, and a large amount of transparent liquid came out immediately, flowing all over the deck.

This trick is very effective. After losing more than half of the body fluid, the fried egg jellyfish stopped spraying water arrows. This is also one of the skills contributed by experienced fishermen.

For these skills, the Government Affairs Office paid a lot of extra price, but the lady consul was very generous. As long as the skills are recognized, the fishermen can use them in exchange for any remuneration including money and food.

For example, with this “bamboo stick” trick, a lucky fisherman won a full 50 silver nars with it, as well as a verbal compliment from the Director of the Fisheries Department, and promised that if there is a suitable job opportunity in the future, he will give priority to employment. he.

In the eyes of a girl, paying a small amount of money can greatly improve work efficiency, and it is a great deal to get more fried egg jellyfish in the same amount of time.

After losing the only means of self-defense, the end of omelette jellyfish has come.

Next, the heavily armed workers worked in pairs, each group concocted an omelette jellyfish.

They first used a bamboo short knife to carefully cut off the edge of the tentacles, because these tentacles can secrete neurotoxins, which is relatively dangerous. If they are stung by multiple tentacles, they may cause death.

This step requires extra care and takes a long time. It takes at least 2 minutes to cut off all the tentacles of a fried egg jellyfish.

The last step is to collect the “egg yolk”.

At this time, the volume of the fried egg jellyfish has shrunk greatly, less than 1/3 of the original. After cutting the 2 layers of gelatinous outer membrane with scissors, the innermost are two flat **** wrapped in yellow lubricating oil, which is the so-called so-called “Egg yolk”.

Place the “egg yolk” on top of the big wooden barrel, pierce it with scissors, squeeze all the lubricating oil into the big wooden barrel, and finally throw the garbage into the sea, and an omelette jellyfish will be processed.

Egg yolks are more than 1 meter in diameter, and at least 50 liters of lubricating oil can be obtained. Each barrel can hold more than 600 liters of lubricating oil. Once the barrel is full, it will be sealed with fish bone oil and transported to the bilge for storage.

The “lubricating oil” obtained from the first batch of “fried egg” jellyfish can fill at least 4 large wooden barrels.

In order to improve efficiency, all the above tasks are assembly line operations, and each worker only needs to be responsible for one step.

While the work on the White-tailed Sparrow was in full swing, other sailing ships also started to move. The captains followed Elon’s example, letting the ships cut into the sea of ​​fried egg jellyfish from the edge, and after putting the fishing nets, they traveled for a certain distance and then exited immediately.

Since the omelette jellyfish sprayed more violent water arrows at the beginning, for safety reasons, several smaller sailing ships followed the big ships to move together, allowing the big ships to attract firepower.

As long as the captains have experience, the subsequent actions become very smooth. From the beginning of the salvage to the completion of the lubricating oil extraction, it only takes less than 20 minutes to complete an operation on average.

At this rate, the fleet averaged enough to obtain more than 50 barrels of lubricating oil per hour.

According to Ronald, they have at least 5 hours before the end of the omelette jellyfish carnival. That is to say, the fleet can obtain more than 250 barrels of lubricating oil in total, with a total volume of more than 150,000 liters, which is long enough. Use of time.

On the other side, Renault has completely forgotten the fleet. From this perspective, since the subordinates have done a good job, why bother to go there and make trouble?

Isn’t it too tired to worry about such messy things every day?

Well, this is called appointing people without doubt.

After a period of observation, Renault discovered an interesting phenomenon. The more “egg yolks” there are fried egg jellyfish, the denser the nearby jellyfish.

For example, there are often more than 10 “double yolk eggs” near the “three yolk eggs”. The “four yolk eggs” will be surrounded by hundreds of other jellyfish. From the sky, the seawater around the “four yolk eggs” has become It turns yellow and white, as if a large number of fried eggs are piled on top of each other on a plate.

Obviously, this kind of fried egg jellyfish is the winner among the jellyfish. In the breeding competition, they are more popular among the same kind. Other fried egg jellyfish are vying to chase them. This is a peculiar phenomenon.

This also shows from the side that the more “egg yolks”, the stronger the jellyfish, because reproduction is a life instinct. If you combine with the strong, your offspring will tend to be stronger, and the probability of premature death is lower. The greater the probability of continuation.

Because of this, the instinct engraved in the genes makes ordinary fried egg jellyfish desperately chasing “yolk eggs”.

This also greatly facilitates Renault’s search for “yolk eggs”, where he will fly where the jellyfish are denser.

That’s the case, it’s not easy to find the “five-yellow eggs”. After watching the fried egg jelly for so long, he felt a little dizzy, and even more dizzy than his eyes was his appetite.

Yes, Renault has secretly decided that in the next two months, he will never touch the fried eggs again. Of course, the fried eggs here refer to food.

After more than half an hour, he finally found a place where fried egg jellyfish was extremely dense. The radius of 5 to 600 was completely covered with yellow and white, forming a huge disk.

There is no doubt that this guy who “recruits bees and butterflies” must be the “five yolk eggs” he has been searching for!

To Renault’s surprise, he had just approached the center of the “disc” and did not even see the “five yolk eggs”. A large number of jellyfish suddenly dived down, and the yellow and white at the center of the disk suddenly disappeared, and the area disappeared. Come bigger.

He couldn’t help but froze, what the **** are these fried egg jellyfish doing?

The next moment, Renault woke up.

No, the “five yolk eggs” are going to run!

It was precisely because the “five-yellow eggs” felt the threat of Renault that they began to dive and escape, and other jellyfish chasing the “five-yellow eggs” also followed the dive, which led to the phenomenon of collective diving.

This shows that the sharpness and IQ of the “five yolk eggs” are far beyond the same!

Renault suddenly became entangled.

How to do?

Chase it down? But he has never fought underwater. Will it be dangerous to rush into the sea?

During the long journey to the Hai Tide Islands, Renault had seen huge black shadows under the water several times, some of which were even 4 or 50 meters long, and their size made him, an extraordinary person, a little frightened.

If possible, he really doesn’t want to dive underwater, who knows what terrible things are in the deep sea?

But after finally encountering a “five yolk egg”, is it just that this experience package will run away?
