Chapter 53: Shocked
The mutated hornet was resting, but Yang Song could not rest.
On the one hand, Yang Song is not sure about the work and rest time of the snake, and on the other hand, the snake is a cold-blooded animal, and can sense prey through heat.
Anaconda is a kind of python, so it has all the characteristics of snakes.
So Yang Song is destined to not be able to rest well tonight.
Only one-third of the consciousness was left to monitor the mutated anaconda on the body, and Yang Song transferred all the remaining two-thirds of the consciousness to the octopus clone.
It is very difficult for people in the night to wake up when they are awake, because there is darkness everywhere, which makes people feel very lonely.
Of course, this situation does not exist for the killer, because the killer is originally a good member of the dark world.
But Yang Song is just an ordinary person who has received special training and is still far from the level of a killer, so in the dark night, Yang Song feels loneliness without exception.
Lonely people always find something to do when they are lonely, but in this tropical jungle, there is obviously no way to find anything to do.
So Yang Song had to draw his consciousness to the octopus clone, hoping to find some fun.
As soon as his consciousness was transferred to the octopus clone, Yang Song encountered a long-lasting problem.
Among this tributary, Yang Song met the electric eel, a creature known as one of the four major killers in the Amazon River Basin.
Electric eels, an eel-shaped South American fish of the family Elbaceae family. They can generate electric currents that can knock people out. They are the freshwater fish with the strongest discharge capacity among fish. The output voltage is 300 to 800 volts. Therefore, electric eels are known as the "high voltage line" in the water.
The electric eel is slow to move, inhabiting a slow-flowing freshwater body, and from time to time it floats up to the surface, swallows air, and breathes. It is long, cylindrical, scaleless, gray-brown, and can reach 2.75 meters (9 feet) long and weighs 20 kilograms (49 pounds). The dorsal fin and caudal fin degenerate, but occupy nearly 4/5 of the total length of the tail. It has a long anal fin, which swims by the fluctuations of the anal fin. The tail has a generator, which comes from muscle tissue and is innervated by the spinal nerves. It can emit voltages up to 650 volts at will.
The body surface is smooth and without scales, the back is black, the abdomen is orange-yellow, there are no dorsal and ventral fins, and the anal fins are particularly long, making it the main swimming organ. There are two pairs of generators with long spindle shapes located on both sides of the tail spinal cord.
The muscles on both sides of the tail of the electric eel are composed of 6,000-10,000 muscle sheets arranged regularly. There are connective tissues separated between the sheets and many nerves pass through the central nervous system. Each muscle sheet is like a small battery and can only generate a voltage of 150 millivolts, but nearly 10,000 "small batteries" can generate a very high voltage when connected in series.
Electric eels generate electricity is a means of preying on and fighting enemies, and sometimes a physiological need. Electric eels can discharge electricity at will and master the discharge time and intensity by themselves. The most important hub of the generator is the nerve part of the organ.
There are many kinds of electric eels in the world, and their power generation capabilities vary. The voltage of African electric eels at one time is about 200 volts, while the voltage of medium electric eels at one time is 70-80 volts. For example, the smaller South American electric eels can only emit 37 volts at a time.
The output voltage of the electric eel is 300 volts, with an average voltage of more than 350 volts, and the maximum voltage of the American electric eel reaches 800 volts, which is enough to kill a cow. The current generated during discharge is extremely weak, generally less than one ampere; sometimes the observed voltage is 500 volts and the current is 2 amperes, that is, a short-term discharge with a power of 1,000 watts. Although DC power is emitted, the discharge frequency can reach 300 pulses per second.
The damage power of electric eel discharge depends on the size of the eel and the condition of the body.
When the electric eel is less than 1 meter long, the voltage increases with the growth of the electric eel.
When it grows to 1 meter, only the intensity of the current is increased.
Electric eels can discharge 50 times per second, but after continuous discharge, the current gradually weakens and disappears completely after 10-15 seconds. After a while of rest, the discharge capacity can be restored.
Within 3-6 meters of water, people often touch the electricity emitted by electric eels and are knocked out, or even fall into the water and drowned. Electric eels can emit 50 amperes of current, and are known as "live power stations" in the sea. They are also called live batteries, electric fish, etc.
The electric current emitted from the tail of the electric eel flows to the receptors in the head, thus forming a weak electric field around its body. There are special cells in the central nervous system of the electric eel to monitor the activity of the electric eel and can direct the behavior of the electric eel based on the results of the monitoring analysis, and decide to take predation or avoidance or other behaviors.
In addition, electric eels often prey at night, with small fish, crabs, shrimps, crustaceans and aquatic insects in their food, and also eat animal corrupt bodies. Some individuals also find higher plant debris in their food.
When electric eels prey, they first swim quietly to the fish, and then continuously emit electric current. The fish that are shocked immediately faints and their bodies are stiff, so the electric eels take the opportunity to swallow them. The feeding intensity and growth rate of electric eels increase with the increase of water temperature, and are generally the highest in spring and summer.
So at this time, it is normal for Yang Song’s octopus clone to meet the electric eel.
But the key to the problem is that the electric eel that Yang Song has encountered now is not one, but a group of more than ten electric eels.
This number of electric eels can be said to be invincible in the Amazon River Basin. Even if you meet a piranha, one of the four major killers of the Amazon River, you will not be at a disadvantage.
Because with the discharge of up to 800 volts, electric eels can easily electrocut out piranhas.
After meeting the group of electric eels, Yang Song began to sigh at his luck. Before discovering the mutated hornet, Yang Song met an adult black caiman with water. After discovering the mutated hornet, he was preparing to start hunting plans the next day, and met another group of electric eels.
This kind of luck is either too outrageous or Yang Song accidentally offended the goddess of luck.
The electric eel group found Yang Song's octopus clone ten meters away in front of Yang Song's octopus clone. All the electric eels began to be fully armed, as if they wanted to have a big fight with Yang Song's octopus clone.
It would be okay if it was other fish, but when you met the electric eel Yang Song, you would be helpless because the discharge ability of the electric eel made Yang Songji very stubborn.
If you accidentally get powered by an electric eel, then Yang Song will be in a tragedy.
Yang Song was really lucky. He just thought about whether he would be powered by the electric eels, so the electric eels began to act.
When they swam five meters in front of Yang Song's octopus clone, the electric eels were ready to discharge.
After detecting that the electric eels were about to discharge, Yang Song felt a numbness in his whole body just as he wanted to escape.
PS: Everyone, the third update is being written. If you can finish writing, it will be published. If you haven’t finished writing, it will be updated tomorrow. Next, it will be written into the ocean. I want to carefully conceive the plot.
