Chapter 47: Extinct species: white sturgeon.

"It should be a crocodile. Someone found a big crocodile in the reservoir before, and that incident went viral."

"Lao Wang is really awesome, there are so many new things happening around him."

"Shall we pull the net today? Finally we can see how many fish there are."

"To be honest, it's a shame to spend over 100,000 yuan to catch a fish!"

After this hot search, the number of people in Wang Chen’s live broadcast room once again broke a new level - 940 million people online.

The whole network is curious about how many fish will be caught and whether a crocodile will be pulled out.

Studio.

"Old Wang, do you think it's a crocodile?"

"There's nothing special about crocodiles. It doesn't matter whether there are any or not. I just want to see Lao Wang lose money."

“Brother Wang, give them a fish worth 200,000 yuan, and now the whole network is laughing at you!”

Wang Chen glanced at the comments and said nothing.

He didn't care if it was a crocodile or not.

He only cared about what those treasures were.

Eleven o'clock noon.

People from the zoo rushed over with fishing equipment and animal medical supplies.

"How is it? Is the net pulled up?" asked the zoo director Xu Zhi anxiously.

He is a short, fat, bald middle-aged man with a thick beard. If he were put in a cage and put on makeup, he would look like a chimpanzee.

"Right away, wait another ten minutes." Wang Chen said.

Zoo staff are gearing up for the event.
I wish I could jump into the water and catch the mysterious creature.

General Zhou stepped into the mud and shouted to the other side: "Start raising the net!"

A group of villagers formed a big circle and set up a net.

As the net is pulled up.

Piles of large fish struggled as their tails slapped against the fishing nets.

"Fuck! I'll grill this dead fish for you later!"

A big black catfish was so excited that it slapped General Zhou with its tail.

He cursed angrily.

Wang Chen watched the movement in the water.

"It's so heavy! I'll count to three! Everyone pull together!" General Zhou shouted at the top of his voice.

"One, two, three! Pull!"

at this time.

A huge grey creature leapt out of the net, its white belly flashing as it jumped out of the cage!

"???"

As the waves exploded.

Netizens were shocked.

"What the hell! What the hell is this thing? How many meters is it?"

"I think I see a long, flat mouth. It really is a crocodile!"

"What crocodile? Can crocodiles jump?"

"Yes, there are many types of crocodiles, and some of them can be used."

Wang Chen's eyes also fixed, and he was surprised.

Because of the knowledge instilled in him by the [Detailed Illustrated Encyclopedia of Animals and Plants], he recognized what this thing was at a glance - the Yangtze River Sturgeon!
The Yangtze sturgeon, also known as the Chinese spoonbill sturgeon, can reach a length of 2 to 3 meters, weigh 200 to 300 kilograms, and the largest can reach a length of 7.5 meters. This type of Yangtze sturgeon mainly lives in the tributaries of the Yangtze River.

the most important is.

This species was declared to be included in the Red Extinction List by China in the 21st year.

In other words, this species no longer exists!

However, at this time, one was actually found in this abandoned reservoir!
Wang Chen was excited.

This is an extinct creature!
If he found out.

Then his fame will definitely rise!
Xu Zhi had an idea in mind.
He smiled calmly and said, "Don't be surprised, Xiaochen. These should be some gar eels. When the Yangtze River was flowing here before, this kind of fish often appeared and was quite abundant."

"I have caught more than ten of them in Heishanmiao Village before."

He looked calm, as if he was used to it and there was nothing to be surprised about.

The alligator eel is not a protected animal. It is a freshwater carnivorous fish covered with scales and has a long and pointed mouth, like a crocodile. It can grow up to 2 meters long.

It is a huge creature in fresh water.

Another thing is that it is quite similar to the white sturgeon.

If you don't observe it closely, it would be difficult for someone like Xu Zhi, who has only seen a real white sturgeon a few times, to tell them apart.

The villagers on the shore shouted excitedly.

"What was that just now? What a big fish!"

"It's not a shark, is it?"

"How can there be a shark in fresh water? I guessed it was a big white shark. I'll ask my son if we can have a bonfire barbecue party and grill this fish!"

Wang Jinguang said happily. So many villagers came today just to get the notice that the fish would be distributed. Everyone was doing a favor for their son, so Wang Jinguang was naturally proud.

"Haha, thank you Brother Guang, I will definitely be there."

"You gave birth to a good son, unlike my disappointing son who went out to work for two years and got into a lot of debt!"

The villagers gathered around Wang Jinguang and chatted.

……

When Wang Chen heard Xu Zhi's words, he said with a strange look on his face:
"Director Xu, do you think it's possible that it's a Chinese white sturgeon?"

"Chinese white sturgeon?"

Xu Zhi was stunned, and then he burst out laughing: "Xiao Chen, you are obviously an outsider. The Chinese sturgeon is a species that the country has declared extinct. Not to mention here, even in the Yangtze River where the Chinese sturgeon used to live, it is impossible to find one."

"And according to my professional knowledge, this is an alligator eel. Even if it is not, it is not a white sturgeon."

Xu Zhi smiled and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder.

The rest of the employees nodded.

"It should be an alligator eel. There are many of these creatures here."

"Brother Wang, when you have time, come visit our zoo and I will teach you some scientific knowledge."

"For an outdoor anchor like you, some knowledge of animals can also reduce some unnecessary troubles."

A female employee said kindly.

She also felt that Wang Chen’s knowledge of animals was too limited. What if he accidentally killed a protected animal in the future?

Wang Chen shook his head.

No more words were spoken.

That shape is indeed a Chinese sturgeon,

Let’s wait until it’s fished out first.

Perhaps it is also possible that a fish similar to the white sturgeon has mutated?
Wang Chen wasn't sure.

"Old Wang said it was a white sturgeon, what is a white sturgeon?"

"I am so amused. It turns out that Lao Wang also has a cute and stupid side. You know that the Chinese sturgeon is an extinct fish in China? That's impossible!"

"Hahahaha, Lao Wang is going to get slapped in the face."

Netizens in the live broadcast room were happy to see Wang Chen make fun of himself.

soon.

First online landing.

The net is full of lively fish: crucian carp, grass carp, bighead carp, snails, clams, crabs, shrimps, snakes and so on.

There are also many soft-bodied poisonous insects.

Wang Chen made an eyeball assessment.

Any single net could hold several thousand kilograms of fish.

If sold at the average price of ten yuan, it would be about thirty thousand yuan.

The villagers gathered around to check.

There was no scramble.

Instead, he waited for Wang Chen to speak.

Wang Chen didn't care. If there was a real treasure, it would definitely glow with golden light.

So he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, take your pick. Pick whatever you like to eat. Distribute it evenly. Don't fight over it."

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

"Brother Wang is generous, haha."

"I'll send you some roosters to eat some other day."

"My family grows grapes. I'll pick some for you later!"

The villagers were grateful to Wang Chen.

They all wanted to give back to Wang Chen what they could.

Xu Zhi, who was smoking a cigarette, also slowly ran over to smoke and took a look.

After looking around, I felt a little bored.

"Xiao Chen, why don't we go back first? Come to my garden someday and I'll treat you to delicious food!"

Wang Chen looked at him: "Are you sure? Do you want to stay and see?"

"Hey, no need... Never mind. I don't have anything to do when I get home. I might as well have some grilled fish here."

Xu Zhi changed his mind and said.

He actually also wanted to establish a good relationship with Wang Chen.

Who knows what kind of animal Wang Chen will be able to dig out in the future? Last time I heard that Lou Shuhai picked up two golden thread orchids from Wang Chen, he almost envied him to death.

If we report it, it will all be credit!
Wang Chen nodded and shouted to General Zhou:
"Lao Zhou, continue to net. Pull the net a little bigger this time. Be careful if there are any big fish. Don't hurt them!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Zhou Canjun organized the villagers to go fishing.

Xu Zhi also took the opportunity to give Wang Chen some scientific knowledge.
