Chapter 94 The Water God Appears
First four water pumps are placed in the pond, each pump can pump 4 tons of water per hour.

The pump itself is housed in a plastic basket which acts as a filter here to prevent the pump from sucking in oversized leaves and rocks.

After placing the water pump, Qi Lanting started the generator.

With the sound of the generator, the water pump vibrated violently, and everyone saw light brown muddy water spurting out from the water pipe in the portable swimming pool.

It took only one hour, and the release pool basically bottomed out.

After the water in the pool bottomed out, there was still water gushing out from one place, which was exactly where the spring had been judged by Brother Xiaoyong.

The precipitation in Lanhai City, which has been filtered through the underground soil layer, becomes very clear, and will eventually slowly fill up this small release pond.

The water in the pool continued to become shallower, and now only the last water pump is still working at the deepest point in the center of the release pool.

As the noise subsided, several people heard the sound of splashing in the water.

"Look, Zicheng!" Qi Lanting stood on the bank of the release pool, and his higher vision allowed him to discover the source of the sound before Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong.

"Are there still so many fish?" Li Chengxin was dumbfounded.

Miao Zhu said before that when the release pond was closed a few years ago, the temple cleaned up the creatures in the pond. Li Chengxin thought that there might be some small fish and shrimp left in the end. Unexpectedly, there seemed to be a lot of fish left, and they were quite big. There seem to be many types.

Li Chengxin took a few large washbasins from Qi Lanting on the shore, handed some to Brother Xiaoyong, and the two split up and started catching fish in the little water left.

Li Chengxin's first strike was a half-meter-long carp with a long beard.

The carp struggled vigorously in the muddy water and threw Li Chengxin's head in the muddy water. This image-destroying incident made Qi Lanting, who wanted to go to the pond to help, firmly stay on the shore.

It is expected to find carp in the release pond. After all, carp, an ornamental fish with many spines, is the first choice for the release pond all year round.

In order to place the fish in the release pond, several staff members set up a spare small portable swimming pool, pumped the water from the large swimming pool, and then put the fish caught by Li Chengxin and Xiao Yong into it.

The slightly larger ones in the pond are basically carp, and they are all caught first because they are very conspicuous.

In addition to carp, a largemouth bass was also found. This fish native to North America was introduced as a farmed fish because of its delicious meat and few spines, and its wild species is also listed as an endangered species.

"Such a delicious fish is used to release it... I really don't know what the people who released it think." Li Chengxin drooled at the largemouth bass, but he had already told Miao Zhu before that the fish in the release pond were not only invasive species, but also invasive species. Otherwise, they will be put back as they are.

Should largemouth bass be considered an invasive species?Li Chengxin planned to discuss with Miaozhu later.

After that, the smaller fish left behind were fished with fishing nets, and a peach blossom fish was found among them.

Peach Blossom Fish, the scientific name is carp, belongs to fish class, Cyprinidae.Body elongated, laterally compressed, about 10 cm long.Silvery grayish reddish with blue grooves.Peach Blossom Fish is a small fish in streams. It likes running water and is a migratory type. Once the oxygen in the water is insufficient, it is easy to die.

"I didn't expect there to be peach blossom fish here! Fortunately, there are springs here, which can bring enough oxygen." Li Chengxin sighed.

Qi Lanting took the basin from Li Chengxin, put the peach blossom fish in a small aquarium and put it in front of the camera for a photo. The peach blossom fish has light pink stripes on its body and blue-purple pearls on its back, which looks very beautiful.

Then, Brother Xiaoyong caught smaller fish, with neat and fine scales and an obvious black line on the middle line of the side.

Li Chengxin recognized it at a glance: "This is wheat ear fish, also called thin-mouthed fish and Luohan fish. When I was a child, there were a lot of fish in the paddy fields. In recent years, due to the use of pesticides in paddy fields in the countryside, it is almost impossible to see them. I didn't expect to see them. I saw this kind of fish in the pond in Lanhai City."

Wheat ear fish is an important economic fish in my country, and it is also the food of omnivorous fish such as carp and peach blossom fish.

Since the wheat ear fish is a food-type fish, Qi Lanting took a separate aquarium to house them.

In addition to fish, Brother Xiaoyong also found a palm-sized Brazilian turtle.

"Invasive alien species have appeared!" Qi Lanting took the Brazilian tortoise thrown by Xiao Yong and put it into an empty bucket.

This Brazilian tortoise has been stocked for a long time. It is full of vitality and aggressiveness. It stretches its neck and walks around in the bucket.

The Brazilian tortoise has strong adaptability, amazing reproductive ability, and the ability to resist diseases.The aquatic plants in this pond, wheat ear fish, and even peach blossom fish are all on its recipe.

The Brazilian tortoise is a world-recognized ecological killer. Now it has been listed as more than 100 most destructive species by the World Environmental Protection Organization. Many countries, including my country, have listed it as a dangerous invasive alien species. This is absolutely Creatures that cannot be released.

Li Chengxin, who was explaining the knowledge of the Brazilian tortoise to the live broadcast camera, suddenly felt his feet move and almost made him slip out.Fortunately, he walked lightly in the pool and did not step on the ground completely, which gave him a chance to change his footing.

"Oh my god!" Li Chengxin squatted down, reached into the water and touched the moving things under his feet.

Brother Xiaoyong heard the sound and looked over.

At first Li Chengxin thought that what he stepped on was another Brazilian tortoise, but after he lifted the "Brazilian tortoise" out of the water, he realized that it was a turtle.

"This is too big..." Brother Xiaoyong was stunned.

The turtle is more than half a meter long and can cover Li Chengxin's entire chest when hugged. It is estimated that it is over 40 years old.

"This is definitely the biggest turtle I have ever seen!" Qi Lanting also drooled. Unfortunately, this turtle is definitely a local species.

[The body of the water god has been captured! 】

[Such a big turtle, I suspect that the reason why only one Brazilian turtle was caught in this pond is that the others were eaten...]

[This way, it sounds more like a water god protecting one side! 】

For a creature of this level, Li Chengxin did not dare to carefully pick up the big turtle and put it into the small pool with carp and largemouth bass like Xiao Yong did when he threw the Brazilian turtle.

While Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong were still fishing for the rest of the fish in the pond, the live broadcast camera focused on Qi Lanting lying beside the small swimming pool.

I saw Qi Lanting was bored thinking about the fish and the big turtle in the small pool.

Under the direction of the person in charge, the microphone was silently extended above Qi Lanting's head.

"Finding Nemo in Lanhai City has begun! Speaking of Uncle Turtle, why don't you go eat carp? Is it because we have lived together in the release pond for a long time and everyone is familiar with it? Think about such a small pond, yes, you must Have you met each other somewhere?..."

[Lan Lan is so cute! 】

[Uncle Turtle...the water god cries...]

[In terms of age, this turtle is really in the same generation as Qi Lanting's father]
