    What appeared in the sky was a large bird, more than twenty centimeters longer than the red-footed boobies. It had black feathers all over its body, a large and sharp beak, and a tail as light as a swallow. It flew in the air with its powerful wings flapping majestically.  !

    This is the pirate bird, also the frigate bird known as the king of the sky!

    Yes, in Europe and the United States, the king of the sky is not the bald eagle, the national bird that Americans are proud of, nor the big golden eagle that roars proudly into the blue sky, nor the brave and capable buzzard, but this seabird that is not well-known in Asia.

    Why is this domineering seabird so famous?  Because they are in the sky, their performance is really amazing.

    Frigatebirds have well-developed chest muscles and are good at flying. They are extremely good pilots.  They are as fast as lightning when sprinting, and their fastest flight speed when hunting is 418 kilometers per hour, ranking first in the world.

    They can fly to a height of about 1,200 meters, and can fly non-stop to places more than 1,600 kilometers away from their nests. The furthest distance can reach about 4,000 kilometers. Their endurance ranks first in the world.

    What¡¯s even more amazing is that frigatebirds can fly in strong winds of level 12. They can even take off and land safely in such storms. You know, they have a wingspan of three meters but only weigh less than three kilograms!

    After swallowing the herring, the frigatebird turned its head and cast its malicious eyes on the other boobies. At the same time, it also revealed a symbol of their identity as a species, a throat pouch as red as blood on its neck.

    Boobies do not swallow fish directly into their stomachs after catching fish. They will temporarily put it in the pouch around their necks and spit it out when they panic. What the frigatebirds have to do is to make them panic and then eat the fish that falls out.  .

    "This is the Great Frigatebird." Nelson said to Qin Shiou.

    Qin Shiou nodded and secretly thought that of course I knew it was the Great Frigatebird. Although there are many subspecies of Frigatebird, there is only one Great Frigatebird in Canada.

    Qin Shiou doesn't dislike this bird with a bad reputation. He knows that frigatebirds have no choice but to become robbers. Their feathers have no oil and cannot touch water, otherwise they will drown. Therefore, if they catch food by themselves, they can only risk their lives.  Catch a few fish close to the surface.

    In addition, even if you want to get into the water to catch fish and then fly with the feathers as little as possible touching the water, frigatebirds cannot do it. They have large wings, small bodies, and short and thin legs.  In this way, their thin legs cannot support their bodies to take off directly from the water like pelicans and cormorants.

    So what if the frigatebirds don¡¯t compete for other food rations in order to survive?

    Nature¡¯s survival is so cruel. Seabirds are allowed to dive into the sea to take the lives of fish and octopuses. Are frigatebirds not allowed to take the food of seabirds?

    Besides, frigatebirds do not rob these birds of food in vain. At night, birds that are robbed of food during the day, such as boobies and seagulls, often gather around frigatebirds to roost, because this bird has a tough temperament and dares to fight against venomous snakes.  , beast.

    In Qin Shiou's view, frigatebirds can be said to be a black social organization among birds. You pay protection fees and I will protect your safety.

    Boobys are a species with relatively high intelligence among birds. Seeing this evil-minded big frigate bird targeting itself, the red-footed booby quickly swept over and flew to the bow of the open-ended boat, then flew down.  Shrinking.

    Now the big frigatebird was dumbfounded. It flew rapidly in the air, but did not dare to challenge the open-headed boat. It flew around for a few times, but when it saw that there was no chance, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky!

    "Damn it, it's so fast!" Qin Shiou directly cursed, and Nelson over there also cursed: "Shit!"

    Seeing the great frigatebird leaving, the red-footed boobies fluffed their feathers and stood up, but they did not fly directly, but looked at Qin Shiou curiously.

    The tigers and leopards licked their mouths, swung their little tails and lay down, while the birds quietly approached the red-footed boobies along the sides of the boat.

    Qin Shiou didn't know what these two guys were planning. They were planning to capture these two boobies.

    The red-footed boobies are good at flying and have extremely beautiful meat. It is also for this reason that this bird, which was once overwhelming on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, has become a nationally protected animal and a vulnerable species.

    Qin Shiou whistled, and the tiger and the leopard got up regretfully, turned around and ran back.

    Looking at the red-footed boobies, Qin Shiou fished out a palm-long herring from the bucket and threw it out.

     The two boobies spread their wings and flew up, pointed their long beaks accurately, and took the herring into their mouths at once.

    Qin Shiou kept throwing up the herrings, and the two boobies were able to catch more than half of them. After eating four or five herrings, he was full. He huddled at the bow of the ship and started to make a "coo-coo" sound and rested.

    Slowly walking over, Qin Shiou stretched out his hand tentatively. The two boobies immediately stood up warily, spread their wings and flew away.

    Qin Shiou had an idea, caught another herring, and reached out to explore it.

    At this moment, the two red-footed boobies relaxed and folded their wings again. The larger bird opened its mouth and took the fish away. Qin Shiou took advantage of the situation and wiped it on its neck, and it shook it.  head, but did not resist.

    Nelson laughed and said: "Boss, you have been with animals for a long time. Do you have any aura on you? This bird is not guarding against you. I have never seen anything like this."

    Qin Shiou knew well that it was better to give up when things were good. He did not continue to forcefully pet the two birds. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go back. Damn it, the sun is too big."

    The open-bow boat broke through the waves and headed towards the fishing ground. Two boobies rested on the bow of the boat. They only fluttered their wings when they approached the dock.

    With nothing to do for the remaining few days, Qin Shiou began to prepare to open up the coral reefs on the seabed.

    He first consulted the Australian Coral Reef Conservation Research Institute, and an expert told him that there are many ways to artificially create coral.

    What is attracting more attention now is that some Australian marine biologists welded metal frames including used bicycles and placed them in damaged areas of coral reefs on the seabed. Then they attached the collected coral reef fragments to the frames, and finally added metal  Connect the rack to power.

    Because electric current can promote the growth and reproduction of coral polyps, it can speed up the construction of coral reefs.

    The expert talked about several things in succession, and finally he mentioned a recent research idea from the University of Sydney: the modular artificial coral reef structure system (Mars system).

    The core idea of ??this system is to use concrete to make irregular structures with branches, and then cover the surface with textured ceramics, which can facilitate the growth of animals and plants in the ocean.

    Qin Shiou is not interested in the first method. He has learned that this so-called electrical stimulation method is not feasible at all and is just a gimmick.

    First, this electrical stimulation method is expensive and consumes a lot of electricity; Second, electrical stimulation of coral polyps is a method of killing chickens to retrieve eggs, just like feeding coral polyps with stimulants, which only stimulates the growth of seedlings and is not worth the gain.

    He is somewhat interested in the last so-called Mars system.  (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
