This is a routine surgery performed on Yuan Yuan (a cat), an expert in a certain field on the island. He has a small dried fish in his mouth and is happily eating it on a rock.
As a result, Little Earl (the dog) swam over and splashed water on the ground, and Yuan Yuan (the cat) quickly devoured the dried fish. After finishing, it tried to escape, but it was too late.
Lu Zhizi rushed to the rescue and finally rescued Yuan Yuan (a cat) from a certain area on the island.
Seeing Lu Wuyai's angry face, the little count (dog) cautiously swam towards the deeper part of the river to avoid his rage.
"Stop causing trouble!" Lu Wuyai shouted angrily, pointing at the little count (dog).
The little Earl (dog) only had half its head above water, its nose was upturned high, and its eyes were wide open, making it look very cute.
Lu Wuyai asked in confusion, "How do you plan to train Yuanyuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island?"
Lu Wuyai said, "I made a mistake with the food inducement method. I thought that Yuanyuan (the cat) couldn't jump over a certain area on the island, so I thought I would put a small dried fish on the rock and use the food to lure him to swim to the rock to get the food."
Knowing the terrifying jumping ability of Yuan Yuan (the cat) from a certain island territory, she changed her plans. While comforting Yuan Yuan (the cat), she asked Gu Yuxin to place a piece of dried fish on the other side of the river.
This time, he crossed an entire river, which Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island definitely couldn't jump over.
But Yuan Yuan (the cat) wasn't stupid. After getting ashore, he ran along the river, then crossed the bridge to the other side to eat dried fish. This still didn't achieve the goal of training him to swim in the river.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai waved his hand and said, "Little Earl (dog), go eat some dried fish."
The little count (dog) was very excited and swam quickly out of the river. After getting ashore, he swallowed the dried fish in one gulp.
"What are you doing?" Lu Wuyai said angrily. "Stop causing trouble, okay?"
Lu Wuyai explained, "I didn't cause any trouble. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. I need to make Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island understand this principle. If he doesn't want to swim there, he can't eat the dried fish."
Later, he placed a small dried fish on the riverbank. Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island was helpless. It rubbed its paws on the opposite bank, gritted its teeth, jumped into the water, swam a few strokes, and with a splash, finally completed its journey across the river.
Lu Wuyai gave him a high five: "Well done, you're really smart."
Lu Wuyai waved his hand and said, "Kid, although I didn't get into Stanford University, I used to be a top student."
After luring Yuan Yuan (the cat) into the water with food, Yuan Yuan (the cat) discovered that the calmness of the river was not scary, and gradually he was no longer afraid of water.
Now it was ready to go into the sea. Gu Yuxin took it to the beach and gestured for it to go swimming in the sea.
The waves rolled on the beach, the sea breeze blew across the water, and wave after wave crashed violently against the sand, making a "whoosh, whoosh" sound.
Yuan Yuan (the cat) remembered the fear of being dominated by the waves during a stormy day, and shrank back into Lu Zhizi's arms, not daring to move.
Lu Wuyai found a reef about five or six meters from the shore and put some dried fish and cat food on it.
Swimming is a physical activity. After swimming in the river for a long time, Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island was still very hungry. Seeing the cat food and dried fish, and with Lu Wuyai and Lu Wuyai coaxing her, she finally swelled up. What courage!
Before going into the water, it first checked to see if Earl (the dog) was nearby. Previously, when it swam in the river, Earl (the dog) would always throw it out.
The waves crashed, and the little count (dog) disappeared from sight.
Seeing this, it felt relieved, jumped into the water, raised its head, and swam towards the reef.
Finally, it stepped onto the reef, finally, it climbed onto the reef, finally, it held the dried fish in its mouth.
Lu Wuyai was very happy: "This child is no longer afraid of seawater."
Lu Wuyai asked in confusion, "Where is the little count (dog)?"
Suddenly, a dog's head appeared on the surface of the sea near a small reef. Little Earl (the dog) swam close to the reef, pounced, and slapped the unresponsive Yuan Yuan (the cat) into the water...
Lu Wuyai was dumbfounded: "My God, what is this? An assassin's sneak attack."
The little count (dog) is full of energy and always wants to play pranks. He and the head of a certain island's territory (cat) are the only ones in the water, so he doesn't act like the head of that territory; the cat can act whoever he wants.
Moreover, Yuan Yuan (the cat), a resident of a certain island, is usually very domineering in the local village. Little Earl (the dog) also wants to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson so that he knows who the leader of Coconut Grove Village is.
Having no other choice, Lu Wuyai went into the water to play, throwing frisbees and rubber balls. Its energy was limitless. Lu Wuyai quickly understood the feelings of Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of the island—utter despair.
Over the next two or three days, whenever he had free time, he would take Yuan Yuan (a cat) from a certain area on the island to the beach to play, gradually coaxing it to no longer be afraid of the ocean and accept swimming in the water.
Yuan Yuan (the cat)'s fear of seawater stemmed from psychology, not instinct. After he realized that the seawater couldn't help him, he stopped being afraid.
And so, on a fine, sunny day, Lu Wuyai set sail again.
Because the catch in the near sea is too small, he plans to go to more distant waters this time, and may have to spend the night at sea. So he took some time to train Yuan Yuan (a cat) who lives on a certain island, so as not to scare it when encountering strong winds and waves.
In addition to refueling the fishing boat, he also brought two large oil drums filled with diesel fuel.
He transformed the cabin into an icehouse, where fish caught from the sea could be frozen and preserved.
Carrying dry food and fresh water, he steered his fishing boat into the deep sea.
As they were setting off, they encountered Longtou. Li Zhijie pointed at his boat and said, "You want to go out for fun? How can anyone go out on a yacht like this? This is not the style of us fishermen."
Li Mupeng, who was on the boat, also advised, "Brother Yang, this fishing boat is not a fishing boat. You can't get the nets out. If you ask me, you might as well change boats."
Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "I'll just take a look around first. Going out to sea isn't just for fishing, it's also for leisure and entertainment."
“A rich kid,” Ochi Yoshihiro mocked.
Lu Wuyai paid no attention to his comments, leisurely steer the ship towards the sea.
There are few fish near the shore, so he found a waterway with few boats and encountered a group of pomfret at noon.
There are two common types of pomfret on the market: golden pomfret and silver pomfret. Golden pomfret is often more beautiful and plumper than silver pomfret, but it is much cheaper.
Taking Hongyang Seafood Market as an example, golden pomfret costs 20 to 30 yuan per catty, while silver pomfret costs at least 70 to 80 yuan.
The reason for this price difference is that the golden pomfret on the market are all farmed fish, while the silver pomfret are all wild fish.
Gu Yuxin is currently encountering a group of silver pomfret. The larger fish are like small palm-leaf fans, while the smaller ones are as big as a child's palm. Be gentle.
He was delighted when he confirmed it was a silver pomfret.
He knew that golden pomfret had been successfully farmed on a large scale. Even if wild fish were caught, they would try to prove their identity, but silver pomfret might not.
Silver pomfret cannot be farmed. They are very fragile and easily killed by stress. Artificial breeding techniques have always been a challenge.
Gu Yuxin heard about a nearby farm and wanted to raise silver pomfret. However, the fish fry only lasted a few days. Because someone shone a flashlight on the fishpond at night, a large number of silver pomfret were frightened and died the next day.
In addition, it is particularly susceptible to parasites during its breeding season, and its disease resistance is very poor. Even a minor scratch on its scales can easily lead to infection and disease.
In addition, silver pomfret has a very special structure called "esophageal lateral sac", which is very rare and is only found in a few species of fish such as silver pomfret.
The lateral sacs of the esophagus are used to process food. They need to swim constantly to keep the sacs active, so raising these fish requires a huge amount of space, which is a challenge in artificial breeding. The larger the space, the higher the breeding cost.
Silver pomfret typically inhabit the upper and middle layers of the ocean at depths of 2 to 100 meters. While they can be found in shallower waters, a school of fish appearing near the surface, as he encountered today, is extremely rare.
Upon spotting the school of fish, he immediately switched the fishing boat to autopilot mode, grabbed the propeller, and followed from behind.
He followed the school of fish for a while, and after roughly confirming the characteristics of the fish, he returned to the boat and, as usual, set traps in the path in front of the fish.
The fish fell into the net. He was using a large-mesh net, which only caught the big fish; the small fish could escape through the mesh.
Some of the large fish fell into the fishing net, and the group of fish scattered in fright.
Lu Wuyai flipped the metal stone and dragged the fishing net up. The little count (dog) on the boat grabbed the net and pulled it back to help.
Now that Yuan Yuan (the cat) has overcome his fear of the waves, he has come up to help: he helped catch a fish and played with it with his paws.
After throwing the net of fish into the cabin, Lu Wuyai jumped back into the water to continue searching for the fish.
The fish were startled and fled. They will scatter temporarily, but will gradually gather together later.
Lu Wuyai focused intently on the group of fish, gently pinching the persimmon; he was well-versed in this art.
From noon to afternoon, it took four or five hours, basically one net per hour, and he estimated that he caught four or five hundred catties of silver pomfret.
Such a large catch is nothing to the fish. What the fish fear are large fishing boats. A single fishing net can wipe out an entire school of fish.
Lu Wuyai was very satisfied after catching this batch of silver pomfret.
After giving the little count (dog) and Ah Miao some fresh water, he decided to stay in the water to absorb moisture in preparation for the next time.
The voyage went smoothly, so he checked the weather and hesitated about whether to go home.
Normally, he wouldn't have much of a catch when he went out to sea in September. He had planned to explore the sea thoroughly, but unexpectedly, he has now luckily reached his destination ahead of schedule, and in fact, returning home is also a possibility.
After thinking for a while, he decided to turn the bow of the boat and let it sail slowly. If he could catch another fish, he could get home as soon as possible, which would be great.
The fishing boat switched back to autopilot mode, bobbing rhythmically on the waves. Lu Wuyai soaked in the water behind the boat, the setting sun casting its golden rays upon the calm sea.
However, one person is a little bored.
So he wiped the seawater from his face and sang along with the sound of the waves: "I only pity the grass growing tall by the stream, the orioles singing deep in the trees. The spring tide, with its rain, comes late, and the ferry crossing is deserted. Good poem, good poem, bang bang bang."
The little counts (dogs) looked over from the ship and barked twice in unison: "Woof, woof, woof."
Upon receiving the news, he slowed down the ship, then reversed the golden pill, releasing a drop of golden water that dispersed into the sea.
Lu Wuyai remembered that the golden water droplets seemed to be very attractive to fish, shrimp, and crabs. He wanted to conduct an experiment; perhaps he could use the golden water droplets to lure some large fish.
If the experiment succeeds, fishing will be much easier for him in the future.
When the golden droplets enter the ocean, few fish are actually lured in, except for a small school of mackerel, a slender, vibrant fish and a major economic species.
With that, he smiled and prepared to cast his net to catch a batch of fish.
As a result, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that the group of mackerel that had rushed over upon hearing the news had also scattered.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai immediately guessed what had happened: a large carnivore had appeared, and the mackerel had been scared away.
So he dipped his head into the water and carefully observed the surrounding sea. What he saw made him gasp. He guessed that a predator had appeared, but he hadn't expected one so powerful.
A group of fish swam up from the depths of the ocean; they were fast and fierce.
This group of fish was small, only about ten in number, but each one was enormous. Lu Wuyai estimated that the largest fish was close to ten meters long, and most were over seven meters long.
They are enormous, with smooth, streamlined bodies. Overall, they look like missiles—beautiful yet dangerous.
Upon seeing these fish, Lu Wuyai gasped: "Sharks!"
Judging from its size and swimming speed, it is undoubtedly a shark. So what kind of shark is it?
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that each of the large fish had only black and white bodies, with distinct colors. Except for saddle-shaped grayish-white spots behind their fins and spindle-shaped white spots behind their eyes, they were generally pitch black, with large round heads and mouths. If you ignored their size, they looked quite strange.
However, in this case, no one can ignore their size. They are enormous. Some have tall, straight dorsal fins, while others have curved, sickle-shaped dorsal fins. Regardless of which one, their length must be close to one meter.
And so, the fish's true identity was revealed: a killer whale.
He was wrong. It wasn't a shark, but a whale, a whale far more majestic than a shark, the ruler of the ocean.
The exact number of life forms in the vast ocean remains unknown. Humanity understands the sun, moon, Mars, and Venus, but our understanding of the ocean is still insufficient. What kind of creatures live in the deep sea is currently unclear.
Undoubtedly, the ocean is home to many aggressive creatures, such as the Australian box jellyfish, which is highly venomous. Sea snakes are another example; all sea snakes are venomous. Another example is the king squid of a certain island territory, also known as the king sea squid, both of which are marine giants.
But compared to killer whales, they are not enough to claim the title of ocean apex predator. Only this type of whale is the most powerful species in the ocean.
Yes, this large fish that looks very much like a shark actually swims at the same speed and behaves like a whale. Its scientific name is actually orca, but in Europe and certain island regions, it's commonly known as the shark killer.
Gu Yuxin was surprised to encounter a group of orcas here. As far as he knew, although orcas could be found in almost all ocean areas—from the equator to the polar regions, from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere—it was still quite rare for them to appear in a particular island or a specific area of the ocean.
After living there for over 20 years, he heard that the year he took the college entrance exam, someone had caught an orca in the neighboring town of Hongliu. At the time, someone had caught two orcas and brought them ashore to sell. He immediately called the coast guard to take them to a nest.
Orcas are formidable predators, but they are best known for their exceptional friendliness towards humans. There are currently no recorded instances of orcas attacking humans in the wild, but there are reports of orcas rescuing people.
Although they had a good reputation, Lu Wuyai still obediently climbed onto the ship, first and foremost for his own life. Even with the Dragon Pill, his small body was not enough to be swallowed whole by other orcas in the ocean.
Secondly, he must keep a close eye on the little earl (dog) and the head of a certain territory on the island (cat). If these two fall into the water, the orca won't have enough teeth. It's estimated that the orca would be quite happy to have such a snack if it saw them.
The orca swam swiftly in the water beneath the small boat. After a while, a fish emerged from the water, followed by a jet of water shooting out at an angle.
As a type of whale, orcas are also mammals, and they need to surface from time to time to spout water and breathe.
Besides surfacing to catch its breath, the orca also leaped over the Dragon Gate with a carp in its arms, jumping out of the water.
With a loud bang, the small boat bounced around on the sea as if it had been hit by a hurricane.
On a certain island, a cat named Yuan Yuan was furious and roared at the killer whale, "Meow my ass!"
Lu Wuyai quickly dragged it back. When this little brat first entered the international chess world on the island, he wasn't afraid of AlphaGo at all. Looking at the little count (dog), the little count (dog) knew how powerful the orca was, so he would obediently tuck his tail between his legs and hide.
A small killer whale surfaced. Only a small portion of its round head was visible, followed by its round eyes, as it peered at Lu Wuyai from the water's surface. It looked like it was spying.
In fact, this is not voyeurism; it is called floating voyeurism, which is a form of surface observation.
Gu Yuxin took a large sea bass and threw it to the baby killer whale. As the sea bass fell into the water, the baby killer whale swam out, and Lu Wuyai saw its full form.
This fish is about three meters long, which is small compared to the other older fish in the group.
Lu Wuyai estimated that the baby killer whale was still a calf, probably born a few months ago.
The friendliness of orcas towards humans is not a fabrication. Lu Wuyai fed the baby orca a bass, and the baby orca immediately showed him kindness and swam to the yacht to see him.
Yuan Yuan (the cat) glanced at it sideways: Look at you. Get out of here.
Fortunately, Lu Wuyai had been watching it closely. As soon as it raised its front paw, Lu Wuyai immediately grabbed it and pushed it in front of Little Earl (the dog): "Just keep an eye on it, don't let it cause trouble."
