Chapter 730 Little Surprises and Little Troubles
It turns out that nature is far more wonderful than people imagine.
As a land plant, moss is very tenacious, but it is certainly not an easy task to allow it to grow in water.
Chen Ling uses spiritual water to induce birth and soak it, which is absolutely no problem.
But in a tank, there will not only be moss scenery, but also other aquatic plants.
Aquatic plants are very good at competing for fertilizer. Once they adapt to the environment, they will grow extremely ferociously.
At that time, the moss will have little living space. The aquatic plants will squeeze and block the moss, and no moss will be visible in the tank. This will lose the meaning of moss landscaping.
In addition, after moss is transferred to water, it needs both fertility and new water, which is a relatively difficult category to maintain.
It is better to simply play with moss tanks and moss bottles.
It is small, and it is quite pleasing to the eye when placed on the table.
Therefore, Chen Ling had no success playing with moss before.
Of course, there were too many things he could play with, so he didn’t focus enough to experiment a few more times, then threw them aside and never cared about them again.
Unexpectedly, the little apprentice accidentally discovered a simple way to successfully turn moss into water.
This method cannot be said to be simple.
It can only be said to be a ‘use doctrine’.
It is the moss that has been soaked in water and is still growing well in streams, rivers and other waters outside. This is equivalent to pure wild moss that has completed the water transfer in its natural state.
Shen Jiayi tried it secretly, and he was able to raise it well after bringing it back.
Of course, to keep this well, you have to respect the growth habits of moss.
That is to say, after harvesting it, it should be placed in a dark corner with little light. Otherwise, it will be the same as when the water was not transferred. If the light is strong, the growth will be very slow, and it will turn yellow quickly and become unsightly. nice.
It can be said that it has changed from a small negative plant to a small negative water plant.
"No wonder Jiajia placed all these bottles in this corner, and even placed them behind the flower pots."
Chen Ling muttered, but with a smile on his face.
The little apprentice really gave him a big surprise this time.
It also made his mind active.
Now that moss can be ‘grown’ in the wild, you can harvest it and plant it yourself.
So, medical maggots can also be thrown into the cave using this method. For example, in that desert area, there is nothing, and some flies can be isolated there.
Nothing else is given, just some flowers and plants are planted to force them to collect pollen to survive.
There will definitely be a group of people who don't adapt.
But as long as there are those that adapt and reproduce, then the second generation will be considered to be initially ‘settled’.
A honey-gathering fly mutated.
However, this honey-gathering fly will continue to undergo gene purification and mutation...
Chen Ling thought about it, and his thoughts continued to spread out.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this idea is very feasible.
Chen Ling picked up the umbrella and strode out. After going out, he turned up the mountain and entered the cave.
Flies are not easy to find this season.
After Chen Ling entered the cave, he was not in a hurry to do anything else. He just came to the newly opened desert area.
A ‘test field’ was set aside.
A large area of flowers and plants was born.
When the weather clears, go to Wang Lixian’s greenhouse to see if there are any flies.
He remembered that last year, every time there was a sunny day, when Wang Lixian pulled up the thatch to dry the greenhouse, a layer of flies would fall on the plastic sheet inside the greenhouse.
I don’t know if there will be any more this year.
"The flowers are planted, let's go see the fish. Besides, there are some spiritual fish that haven't eaten in the cave for a long time."
Chen Ling glanced at the flower field on the edge of the desert and ducked away Came to the lake.
What a coincidence. As soon as he arrived here, there was a huge black shadow in the big lake. He was startled by his sudden appearance. It shook suddenly and splashed a huge vortex on the water surface. .
Chen Ling was also splashed with water.
He wiped his face and felt happy in his heart: "You have been wandering around in front of me and you still want to run. Can you run?"
With a wave of his hand, this huge black shadow appeared in the sky. on the water.
The whole body is smooth, hard, scaleless, and gray. At first glance, I thought it was a shark.
This is naturally the sturgeon that Chen Ling put in.
“As expected, when I grow up, I will look a lot like the water monster in the reservoir.”
Chen Ling let the big sturgeon float. The sturgeon, which was about 1.5 meters tall, was plump and fat. There was panic and fear in the fish's eyes, but it couldn't break free.
But just looking at the appearance, it already has the aura of a giant thing in the water.
"It's already two meters long. I can't let you grow any longer. It's time for you guys to serve it."
Chen Ling gently stroked the sturgeon with his hand. Fish Body smiled gently.
The sturgeons are kept in the cave. Although it doesn't matter if they grow bigger, Chen Ling still doesn't want them to grow too big.
The main reason is that this thing is too harmful to small fish, shrimps and fry.
The sturgeon looks like a big guy, which is quite intimidating. In fact, on their menu, they still feed on benthic animals, small fish and shrimps in the water.
It doesn’t mean that if you are big and have a big appetite, you will catch big fish to eat.
But as they grow bigger and bigger, no matter how fast the fish and shrimps in Dongtian reproduce, they will not be able to feed them, and they will soon eat them all.
"The water area in Dongtian is also a bit small. I will expand the water area next year. Although Dongtian is magical, I don't need to consider circulation. If I want to grow the fish to a look that I am satisfied with, it is not enough to have only one big lake. I must try my best. Form a river system and try to circulate the water as much as possible."
Chen Ling thought to himself and tried the weight of the sturgeon in front of him.
The body length is about 1.5 meters and about 120 kilograms. The figure is neither fat nor thin, so it is relatively well-proportioned.
“Tsk, I’m still a little thinner. If I could raise the koi to such a long length, I’m afraid I would have gained more than two hundred pounds.”
The carp in the wild river reached 1 No matter how long the rice is, it can grow up to a hundred pounds.
Not to mention the domestic koi, which can easily exceed this number.
Thinking of koi, Chen Ling wanted to go to the lotus pond to see how the ornamental fish were doing.
Waving the sturgeon that had been identified as food, let it float to the thatched house.
I walked slowly to the stone bridge and leaned over to observe the fish in the lotus pond.
Speaking of which, Chen Ling hasn’t looked carefully at the fish he released for more than half a year.
Come here now and take a look, and you will be shocked.
On the clear water below the stone bridge, groups of colorful fish were floating and swimming on the water. The big and small fish were densely packed, as if the entire water surface was covered.
No matter which direction you look, you can see fish everywhere, all kinds of fish, big and small.
Some small fish are only half a finger long, and their bodies are already colored. They swim in groups behind the big fish, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
Chen Ling looked at it and was dumbfounded: "Damn, what a fairy-like lotus pond, but you turned it into a fish pond."
Not to mention watching such a huge number of fish.
After seeing this, Chen Ling felt like feeding pigs.
He endured the feeling of dizziness, took a closer look, waved his hand to get the bucket, filled a few strips, and checked the condition. Fortunately, the quantity was just too much, and the condition was still very good. .
“Fortunately, the time is short, otherwise I would have wasted such a good resource if I had raised them and turned them into wild fish.”
The pure wild environment will be left alone for a long time. .
Ornamental fish will gradually degenerate. After three generations of breeding in the outside world, they will degenerate into wild fish, such as good goldfish, and finally completely become crucian carp.
Although the cave environment is good, it is also a pure wild environment.
Although the cave is magical, with so many species of fish mixed together and constantly interbreeding, it is impossible to say that there is no risk of degradation at all.
"I have to go out a little more next year. This number is too much."
Chen Ling frowned: "There are so many letters asking for puppies now, if they all come to buy fish That’s it.”
Unfortunately, for most people, it’s okay to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a dog, but they can’t bear to buy a fish.
“Well, I’m afraid not many people will be willing to buy this cartoon if it includes fish content.”
“Arowana is becoming more and more popular now, so I’d better keep my arowana. Finally, let's ask Lao Du and the others to take advantage of the dragon fish's east wind to deal with it."
"..."
Chen Ling thought and walked around the stone bridge and lotus pond. Circle, in the small garden next to the stone pavilion, bees are still busy flying in and out.
Chen Ling found another swarm of poisonous wasps mutated in the cracks in the rocks in the corner.
He hasn't figured out how to use the poisonous bee yet.
He couldn't tell whether the poison was strong or weak.
The only thing I can think of right now is to use it to make wine.
He simply cleaned up the garden, letting the messy fallen leaves rot away as soon as possible, and dealt with some messy branches and leaves that blocked the path, making the garden clean and tidy again.
Just go back to the thatched house again.
Just as he was about to take the sturgeon out to kill, Chen Ling suddenly discovered that a new species of fish appeared in the ditch around the thatched house.
In addition to red eels, there are also several white catfish and golden catfish.
To be honest, fish such as catfish and loach are prone to mutation, mainly because they eat everything.
If you eat too much dirty food, mutations will easily occur.
However, the catfish here in Chenling are mainly mountain catfish, which is a little better to watch than the catfish in Hegouzi.
Some shrimps also change color. Some river shrimps turn red, and some turn deep black.
Some crayfish also turn into golden red and blue colors.
“After seeing too many fish, the mutated shrimps are still more beautiful.”
Chen Ling was so happy to see the hunting spirit that he squatted by the ditch and fished out a few crayfish. The shells on their backs were changing. It's blue, and there are tiny dots of stars written on it, which makes it look a bit dreamy.
"Good guy, you are so beautifully groomed, how can I be willing to eat you in the future?"
I also fished out a few red and white grass shrimps. The red and white sections are distributed one by one, which is also very beautiful. , looks more beautiful than some ornamental fish, and more pleasing to the eye.
“Okay, okay, it seems that it is imperative to expand the water area. There is no need to wait for next year. I will start working on it after the greenhouse is built. I don’t know how to transform such a large desert area. Now I will occupy the space and transform it. A river comes out."
With motivation, Chen Ling has the energy. The joy of breeding lies not only in the satisfaction of increasing breeding numbers, but also in the joy of cultivating new varieties.
Even the small annoyance that there are too many ornamental fish in the cave is not worth mentioning.
When the time comes, there will be no problem in dedicating a river to raise them, as long as they are willing to behave and continue to mutate stably.
