As Xiaoliang said these words, many people in the live broadcast room felt nervous.
It’s over, what’s supposed to come has come, and it’s the clutches of humans again!
In fact, many creatures that originally had no natural enemies have humans as their natural enemies.
Or it can be said that humans are the natural enemies of all other living things on this planet.
Even mankind itself is its own natural enemy, and mankind has been destroying itself.
So how do humans deal with such magical creatures as horseshoe crabs?
Is it because the meat on this thing is delicious?
Although it doesn't look delicious, I'm not sure.
Many people pricked up their ears and listened, waiting for Xiao Liang's next words. Some people specifically turned up the volume and turned off the barrage for fear of missing something.
"Well, originally, the number of horseshoe crabs is not large, so there is no danger."
"But because of human operations, there are fewer and fewer of these creatures."
Xiaoliang sighed first, and then said slowly.
He himself knows a lot about various animals and plants, and he knows everything that ordinary people don't understand.
Sometimes knowing too much is not beautiful, and he feels very sorry for the many animals and plants that have become extinct or are on the verge of extinction due to human beings.
But it's useless even if you feel distressed. You will find that you can't do anything and your personal power is very little.
"A living fossil-level creature like the horseshoe crab has blue blood because the blood of the horseshoe crab contains copper."
"Its blood is very special, and it is precisely because of this blood that it brought disaster to the horseshoe crab."
Xiaoliang continued, and many people had already reacted.
It turns out that humans want the blood of horseshoe crabs!
So, what is the function of horseshoe crab blood?
"The reason why horseshoe crab blood is special is not just because it is blue, but because it contains a type of cells called amoeba-like cells."
"This kind of cell is very sensitive to bacteria and can effectively avoid bacterial infection. Through research, humans have used horseshoe crab blood in the medical field, and in some fields involving food safety testing, etc., it has played a huge role."
"Interested viewers can search for the uses of horseshoe crab blood, such as some injections, vaccines, etc. Anyway, it can be said to have saved countless people and has great uses, but it has also led to the large-scale hunting and harm of horseshoe crabs by humans.
Causing a sharp decline in the number of horseshoe crabs!”
Speaking of this, Xiaoliang's expression was very complicated.
The audience also had mixed feelings, and many people also started searching for it themselves.
Only then did they realize that there were many more things. Xiao Liang probably thought it was too cruel, so he didn't say them out.
For example, regarding the collection process of horseshoe crab blood by humans, it makes people’s scalp numb.
A large number of horseshoe crabs were caught by humans in the factory, tied and fixed on the assembly line, and then needles were inserted into the horseshoe crabs' bodies and blood began to be drawn!
Just looking at it will make you feel very painful, but these horseshoe crabs have no ability to struggle and can only be forced to drain the blood.
Moreover, horseshoe crab blood is very expensive, costing 100,000 yuan per liter!
"I was so scared when I saw it. The needle is so thick!"
"It is said that only 30% of the blood in the horseshoe crab is extracted each time, so it will not have any impact on the horseshoe crab, but in fact the impact is still very large!"
"Yes, I have also seen that during the blood drawing process, some horseshoe crabs will die on the spot, and some will die after the blood drawing is completed and released. Even if they do not die, the probability of their reproduction is much lower, which leads to
The number of horseshoe crabs is getting smaller and smaller!”
"Alas! This thing looks terrible, but it is actually very pitiful."
"It's actually hard to judge right from wrong in this kind of thing. In a world dominated by humans, we always put the interests of humans first. Horseshoe crab blood can save people!"
"It makes sense, but while using horseshoe crab blood, I really hope that the relevant departments can better protect it."
"It is very difficult to obtain enough horseshoe crab blood without having much impact on this biological group."
............
A large number of viewers were discussing and searching online to learn more about horseshoe crabs.
Before this, many people didn't even know that this creature existed.
But now they understand that perhaps the things they use in daily life consume horseshoe crab blood.
"You don't have to worry too much, our country has listed horseshoe crabs as a national second-level protected animal."
"So, horseshoe crabs are not currently in danger of extinction, and as human science and technology continue to develop, there will definitely be better solutions to many problems."
"By the way, there is another point that I have to say."
Xiaoliang spoke and reassured everyone.
"The currently existing species of horseshoe crabs include two families, three genera and four species, which means there are four species in total."
"Among them, our country of China also has a kind of horseshoe crab, and there used to be a craze for eating horseshoe crabs."
"This is one of the main reasons for the decline in horseshoe crab numbers."
Xiaoliang said.
Sure enough, nothing can escape the mouths of Chinese people.
Many things that foreigners dare not eat or don’t want to eat, people in China can make them very delicious, and everyone eats them.
Crayfish is an example. From being a menacing invasive species, to being eaten forcibly and requiring artificial breeding, it can be said that there is no dignity at all.
And what Asan dared to eat was something that people in China didn’t dare to eat!
Those who can escape from the Kingdom of China cannot escape from the Kingdom of White Elephant!
Take the apple snails for example. Chinese people talk about the snails in disgrace, but Asan from Baixiang Kingdom enjoys them. They are not afraid of the parasites in the apple snails at all.
We all have the periodic table of elements in our bodies, but are we still afraid of parasites?
However, many people feel that this stuff may not be delicious.
First of all, the first impression is that it looks too ugly, and then the blood is blue. Human beings are actually quite resistant to blue food.
Different colors will affect human appetite, affect the speed of eating, etc. This is a cliché and everyone knows it.
When it comes to blue things, people’s first reaction is, this thing is blue, can it be eaten?
In fact, horseshoe crabs don't actually taste good.
Some knowledgeable people have come out to popularize the knowledge, and now everyone wants to take away Xiaoliang’s job.
"I think I ate this once when I was a kid. It was fishy and I didn't think it tasted good."
"I'm still allergic after eating it. This thing is actually poisonous. It's best not to eat it!"
Someone said this.
This sentence immediately made many people nervous.
Will Ye Han and Su Xiaoqi eat horseshoe crab meat?
What if they eat it and get poisoned?
"Ye Han, don't eat it!"
"The shit is poisonous, Ye Laoba, you can't eat it!"
"Hahahahaha Ye Han has really become the eighth child, you are so bad!"
"It was Xiaoqi who called it that first. If you want to blame it, it's Xiaoqi's fault."
"Don't worry, everyone. Xiao Qi doesn't know Limulus, but Ye Han does. Our boss Ye is well-informed and there are very few things he doesn't know."
"That's right, Ye Han will definitely not make a stupid mistake."
"I'm just here to read Xiaoliang's popular science. What's going on with Ye Han now?"
A lot of discussions spread all over the Internet.
As for Ye Han, he is also educating Xiao Qi on science.
Of course, what he said was not as comprehensive as Xiaoliang's. He only told Su Xiaoqi that this thing is of high value and is often hunted. Therefore, although it has lived more than 400 million years ago to the present, its number has been decreasing.
.
Then there is a very important point. Ye Han also told Su Xiaoqi that it is best not to eat this stuff.
