My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 484: The glory days of Nautilus (Part 2)

"Student Xiang Yang." A professor looked at Xiang Yang, "Please tell me where the straight-shelled Nautilus is."

Xiang Yang frowned! Although the biology expert spoke politely, he had an undoubted tone, which made Xiang Yang feel a little unhappy.

Although Xiang Yang had already thought in his heart that the straight-shelled Nautilus was going to be handed over to the scientific research team, this tone still made Xiang Yang a little angry.

"Old Qian, what are you doing?" Professor Chen Yu felt the change in Xiang Yang's face very sensitively. Before Xiang Yang spoke, Professor Chen Yu said.

"Dean Chen." The professor named Lao Qian hadn't noticed Xiang Yang's change yet. He wondered: "What's wrong with me?"

"Are you a robber?" Professor Chen Yu scolded unceremoniously.

Professor Qian's expression turned into a pig liver color. He quickly said: "I'm sorry, Dean Chen, I forgot that he is your student."

"Bullshit." Professor Chen Yu said unceremoniously: "What if it is my student? What if it is not my student? If it is not my student, you can just ask someone to take you without even discussing the distribution of benefits. Go for that straight-shelled Nautilus?"

Professor Chen Yu is not only a serious scholar, he is also the dean of the Ocean University of Ocean Biology Snow Academy. In his life, he is not greedy for money, bad for sex, and he does not form cliques.

He did this not only to favor Xiang Yang, but also to cherish his feathers.

In the past few years, too many so-called experts and professors under the banner of scientific research and so on, greedy too many treasures of the people, have already tarnished the reputation of many experts and professors.

Professor Chen Yu cares very much about his reputation. When he saw Xiang Yang frowned, he immediately thought of the past that some experts and scholars were greedy for folk treasures.

Seeing Xiang Yang's anger, Professor Qian immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Professor Chen Yu just snorted, "Scientific research is not a robber. If you take it, you have to give it back. The annual scientific research funding is originally paid by the taxpayer. We can't be a robber in front of the taxpayer. We should compensate. A penny of money can’t be less."

Professor Qian nodded quickly.

Professor Chen Yu looked at Xiang Yang and said with a smile: "Student Xiang Yang, are you sure that the conch is really how many meters long?"

Xiang Yang nodded quickly, Xiang Yang was very sure about this.

Xiang Yang knew that Professor Chen Yu wanted to determine whether the conch was a straight-shelled Nautilus.

In fact, Xiang Yang had already determined whether the conch was a straight-shelled Nautilus.

Since discovering the straight-shelled nautilus, Xiang Yang deliberately checked a lot of information related to the straight-shelled nautilus.

In its heyday, the straight-shelled Nautilus encountered the strongest competitor of the horseshoe crab.

Both the straight-shelled Nautilus and the plate-footed horseshoe crab played a knockout and evolutionary game in the mid-Cambrian.

But until the end of the Cambrian, the straight-shelled Nautilus and the plate-footed horseshoe crab did not completely defeat each other.

The struggle between the straight-shelled Nautilus and the plate-footed horseshoe crab has always been that the straight-shelled Nautilus has the upper hand, which lasted until the end of the Ordovician.

After experiencing the mass extinction event in the end of Ordovician, the straight-shelled Nautilus was badly injured and eventually lost to the horseshoe crab, but it still maintained a very high position in the ocean.

In the Devonian period, due to the emergence of the Deng’s fish, the sea horseshoe crab was forced to move to land, and the straight-shelled nautilus could not go ashore. It was oppressed by the Deng’s fish and completely lost its dominant position. In the last Permian period, The appearance of the spiral tooth shark made the straight-shelled nautilus family dying. By the Triassic, the ichthyosaurs ruled the ocean and the straight-shelled nautilus was completely extinct.

Nautilus has fought, fought, been brilliant, and has fallen into disrepair. To this day, hundreds of millions of years have changed. It has killed the scorpion horseshoe crab and most of the prehistoric creatures. It has become a planet on this planet. Existence like a living fossil.

"Student Xiang Yang, can you take the teacher to see that conch?" Professor Chen Yu asked.

Xiang Yang was about to agree, and Professor Chen Yu spoke again, "We will not let you work in vain, you just need to take us to find the conch, whether it is a straight-shelled nautilus, we will pay you 1,000 yuan. Remuneration, if it is determined that the shell is really straight-shelled Nautilus, I can give you at least 200,000 yuan, and if it does not violate the principle, as long as it is within my ability, you can do whatever you want Make a request, as long as I can be complete, I will promise you."

"No, no money." Xiang Yang hurriedly said: "Teacher, you are doing scientific experiments. If you really research something, it is also a good thing for the country and the people. I think it's not a good thing to talk about money. Anything designed to benefit the motherland cannot be traded."

Professor Chen Yu patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have a very high level of consciousness, and I am very pleased with the teacher."

"But teacher, I am not making a deal with you. The money given to you is a recognition of your practice and a reward."

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at the ocean, sighed slightly, and said, "You may not know what a straight-shell Nautilus is."

"Or you don't know its value yet."

"When it comes to nautilus, everyone might think of those ancient creatures that are floating in the water. Although they belong to the same kind of cephalopods such as squid and octopus, but they are very lazy ancient creatures. However, the nautilus has just emerged from the evolutionary tree When it appeared, ~www.readwn.com~ actually had some quite aggressive similar, and the most famous among them was the straight-shelled Nautilus that once dominated the ocean."

"This kind of creature that once dominated the Ordovician, which may be reminiscent of the legendary sea monster today, can be regarded as the hero of the Nautilus, but how did this huge creature disappear?"

"These are all secrets. The so-called truth is divided into different opinions, and no one can give an accurate answer."

“At present, the fossils of the straight-shelled nautilus are mainly unearthed from the coast of the Baltic Sea. There are also a large number of small populations that belong to the straight-shelled nautilus but are completely different species. But it is almost certain that these Straight-shelled nautilus with huge differences in size and size, without exception, are quite fierce predators, especially large nautilus. Their recipes include almost all the oceans including other kinds of straight-shelled nautilus Animals. However, due to the heavy shell of the straight-shelled nautilus, their hunting cannot actively pursue the prey, but uses an ambush strategy similar to that of an octopus. When the prey approaches, the straight-shelled nautilus will rely on the tentacles to move the prey. Catch. Although there were other predators in the Ordovician ocean in addition to the straight-shelled nautilus, due to their large size, few other types of hunters could threaten them."
