Chapter 773: Our Country's Real Sea Ranch (1)
The next day, the evaluation team woke up early in the morning.
The scenery of Pishan Island is very beautiful, but none of them came for vacation, so they went out to sea early.
The investment representative said that they are basically strong masters, and "everything must be done by themselves"; however, every expert who can become an academician is not young, and a lot of substantive evaluation work is basically handed over to a student to lead a team.
Therefore, a large part of the evaluation team that arrived on Pishan Island at the same time as the academicians were their students, or students' students. Like the early assessment work of going to sea, it is "the disciple obeys his work".
Chi Wenguang is Academician Zhou's "big disciple", and his status is equivalent to that of Academician Ge's "big disciple" Wen Xin, and the two of them led a team to board a comprehensive marine science research ship at the same time.
This is a comprehensive marine science research vessel jointly built by Jiagu Laboratory and a State Oceanic Institute, and it is also the second marine scientific research ship jointly built by national marine scientific research institutions and private enterprises, which is an important symbol for private capital to participate in the construction of national marine scientific research capacity and enhance China's marine science and technology innovation ability.
After the completion of the marine science comprehensive research vessel, it has also become a maritime mobile laboratory and test platform for the basic research and high-tech research and development of marine science of the Jiagu system, and it has naturally become one of the protagonists in this evaluation.
Rao was like this, and after boarding the ship, Wen Xin's eyes flashed and said, "There is only one ship?
Whatever attitude the teacher has, the disciple will naturally uphold the attitude. For the assessment of Jiagu's marine ranching, Wen Xin is full of enthusiasm and hopes to catch Jiagu's handle.
Chi Wenguang looked at him with a smile and said, "If it's not enough, you can also apply to the above to transfer more scientific research ships." โ
Wen Xin was suddenly blocked and couldn't speak.
What are you kidding, which scientific research ship in China is not the treasure of the unit to which it belongs? Not to mention him, it is his teacher, Academician Ge, and it is not that he can be dispatched by applying for transfer.
Of course, there is no shortage of fishing boats. But can a fishing vessel be compared to a professional research vessel?
Wen Xin's face was not very good-looking: "There is only one ship, when will we be able to complete the assessment?" โ
He didn't say this casually.
The Jiagu Marine Ranch they want to assess has a sea area of up to 10,000 acres. Tens of thousands of acres of sea area is not a small beach, but an endless sea area.
With such a large underwater world, hydrodynamics, biomes, and habitat structure are ...... None of them can be checked one by one with your eyes. With the help of specialized equipment, a quick check of them all may be enough for dozens of people. But if you want to seriously dig into the problems hidden in the depths, it is not too many to send hundreds of people, and it is not uncommon for two or three months to have no results.
- One of the reasons why large companies are often difficult to vet is that when the cost of censorship is too high for the government to afford, regulation becomes useless.
If it's just a problem of manpower, it's easy to solve, as long as there is a need, a single academician can gather a team of disciples with a small size, but after all, the sea is different from the land, there are no ships, and no amount of manpower can be used, so you can't let the junior brothers swim to do the assessment, right?
Therefore, there are really a lot of people who echo Wen Xin.
Every expert's assessment angle is different. For example, some experts focus on the salinity of the sea water at the Kagok Sea Ranch, and it makes sense: the salinity of the sea water affects the texture and taste of the fish meat. Marine fish grown in environments with high salinity have coarser meat and a firm taste, while marine fish living in areas with low salinity will have more delicate and elastic flesh, making dishes sweeter and more delicious.
โ They need to assess how much the salinity of the seawater at the Jiagu Sea Ranch affects the seafood produced, and whether it is man-made or natural......
In this way, some assessment data can be shared, such as ecosystem structure, biocapacity, etc., but some assessment data needs to be mined independently, such as environmental factors, and squeezing together is not really an efficient option.
Wen Xin, who received everyone's support, looked at Chi Wenguang proudly and persuaded: "You have a good relationship with Jiagu, why don't you let Jiagu help dispatch ......"
"There's no need. Chi Wenguang interrupted him.
Chi Wenguang, who followed Academician Zhou to participate in the construction and research of Jiagu Marine Ranch, may have a deeper understanding of Jiagu Marine Ranch than ordinary Jiagu staff, and said in a slow tone at this time: "You don't know, a perfect monitoring and evaluation system for marine ranches is also an important part of the construction of Jiagu Marine Ranch. โ
"Jiagu's marine ranch monitoring and evaluation technology system has made great progress in principle cognition, technological breakthroughs and equipment research and development, and has achieved a wide range of integrated applications. For example, multi-functional environmental resource monitoring platform, optical and acoustic-based biological monitoring technology, ecosystem model assessment, etc.......
"The area of Jiagu Marine Ranch is not small, but it has realized the installation of multi-functional environmental resource monitoring platforms in different areas, and realized the wireless transmission and multi-terminal access of multi-parameter water environment and meteorological data monitoring. Chi Wenguang looked at Wen Xin's gradually changing face and continued: "Let me give you another example, in terms of biological monitoring, Jiagu Marine Ranch has diver handheld and fixed video acquisition equipment applications, the former is used for diving accompanying recording, sample point and transect survey, non-contact measurement and other monitoring work, and the latter is used for long-term or real-time biological monitoring to intuitively grasp resource changes and anomalies. โ
"So, a lot of the data you don't need to collect yourself, and of course, if you think the data collected by Jiagu and our team is not credible, that's a different story......
If he was alone in a room, Wen Xin would have to scold his mother directly.
To achieve the goal of "real-time monitoring and visualization" of marine environment and ecological elements, China can only be said to be the initial acceleration stage, and the most important thing is not a problem of technology, but a problem of money.
How much will the construction cost increase if the installation of an advanced multi-functional environmental resource monitoring platform is installed, this guy is really not talking nonsense?
But he knew that Chi Wenguang couldn't be talking nonsense.
He also suddenly understood, no wonder Academician Zhou's team had abundant funds after carrying out cooperative research with Jiagu.
This big dog!
In addition to Wen Xin on the ship, the representatives of investment institutions also generally did not look good.
But for investors, this means a sharp increase in the cost of building a marine ranch, which is a big minus point.
Of course, they can also give advice to Jiagu, but with Jiagu's urine, it is estimated that he will only put up a middle finger and spit out a sentence: Love to vote, not to roll!
Chi Wenguangcai didn't care how complicated everyone's thoughts were, he opened an undersea video on the boat with ease, and officially unveiled the true face of Jiagu Ocean Ranch:
- All kinds of algae sway rhythmically with the current, benthic organisms, upper, middle and lower fish shuttle between them, and artificial reefs form artificial upwellings, bubble curtains control the range of fish movement, and fish grow in their preferred environment...... A marine ecosystem that is so complete and scientifically vibrant everywhere is coming!
"That's really...... Kagaku's Sea Ranch?" muttered someone in the crowd.
Chi Wenguang unconsciously held his head high and nodded heavily: "This is Jiagu Ocean Ranch!"
Wen Xin's eyes widened, and he was also shocked.
The idea of "marine ranching" was put forward by the islanders in the early 70s of the last century. This idea shocked the world as soon as it was proposed, and it was called an epoch-making idea to conquer the seas.
It has to be said that compared with China, which has "a vast land and abundant resources," island countries with tight land resources are at the forefront of the world in attaching importance to and developing the sea.
Before the signing of the International Convention on the Sea, island countries used to go around and wantonly engage in deep-sea fishing in the high seas, but with the advent of a new era of the law of the sea, island countries must face their limited marine exploitation resources. It can be said that the strong sense of crisis has forced the islanders to change their way of dealing with the sea, so they have chosen to "make a gorgeous turn". Compared with the Chinese people, the island people fully realized early on what it means for their people to make the sea an inexhaustible treasure trove.
China's annual aquaculture industry accounts for nearly 70% of the world's total, ranking first in the world for more than 20 consecutive years, but an embarrassing fact is that the domestic marine aquaculture industry is slowly killing a promising blue sea.
The Chinese's exploitation of the sea has led to the abundance of "farms" near the coastline, one after the other, almost swallowing up the natural coast, which is also a kind of "predatory development" - on the one hand, overfishing and pollution have seriously damaged the marine ecological structure; on the other hand, intensive aquaculture has led the sea water to the other extreme: overtrophication, further destruction of the marine ecology.
In contrast, Japan and South Korea, which are across the sea, are the most advanced countries in the world in terms of marine ranching.
Wen Shin followed Academician Ge to the Tongyeong Marine Ranch in South Korea, which is by far the best marine ranch in the world, and in the words of marine experts, it has achieved the maximization, naturalization and sustainable development of the ocean.
After seeing the real marine ranch, looking back at the domestic "marine ranch", it is not the inner taste.
Regarding the concept of marine ranching, it is widely believed in China that artificial reefs are marine ranches - in fact, this is far from the real marine ranching.
Academician Ge, as well as Wen Xin and other disciples, after that, all believed that the domestic "marine ranch" could not be regarded as a real marine ranch, for example, Zhangzidao and the like, which have always used "marine ranching" as a propaganda point, are only based on benthic organisms called "soft gold" such as sea cucumbers and abalones, and have not formed a three-dimensional and rich living space for marine life. In addition, the low water temperature in the sea near Zhangzidao makes it difficult for seaweed to survive, which will undoubtedly make the local marine ecological environment more homogeneous.
Of course, although there are such and such shortcomings, relatively speaking, looking at the national seas, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.
Before this moment, Wen Xin had always thought that Jiagu Marine Ranch was just a larger "breeding farm", and it may have put some artificial reefs, but it could not be called a real "marine ranch".
He never imagined that what was unfolding in front of him was a marine life world that uses artificial reefs, seagrass beds, etc. to create a suitable life for fish, and is equipped with scientific and technological facilities such as environmental monitoring systems and fish escape prevention systems, so as not to pollute the seawater and the environment, and there are both benthic organisms and upper, middle and lower pelagic fish!
In this marine world, what human beings can do is no longer fishing, hunting and breeding, but for the first time become the "shepherd" of the sea. The marine ranch itself is a good natural ecosystem, and human beings have retreated to the role of living in peace with the sea, becoming an observer and overseer, rather than being an almighty God, as in the case of artificial farming, treating the sea according to needs without scruples.
Wen Xin looked intently at the "visualized" Gagu Marine Ranch, and secretly compared it with the Tongyeong Marine Ranch he had seen in South Korea.
No less impressive!
But how can Kaya!
It's not easy to build a ranch on land, let alone in the sea?
To build a marine ranch, we must first transform the marine environment. For example, the transformation of tidal flats, the construction of submarine seamounts, the planting of seaweed and seagrass, the release of artificial reefs, the creation of artificial upwelling, etc. At the same time, there are many problems that do not exist on land: for example, the ocean is open, and fish can swim freely in and out of an area, but people cannot go directly to the ocean to drive away fish, so limiting the range of fish is a problem...... These require not only improvements in marine technology, but also heavy investment and long waits.
Wen Xinzi believes that it will take more than ten years for the first real marine ranch in China to be born, and it must be born with the support of the state.
But now, a private enterprise has really done it.
A real marine ranch that belongs to our country!
The video is silent, but in Wen Xin's eyes, it makes him tremble!
It was a kind of empathetic excitement and emotion!
This is like giving the Chinese people a natural key to tame the sea, and every marine researcher is excited because of this.
Although not every researcher has had the opportunity to see a real marine ranch abroad like Wen Xin, it does not prevent them from understanding what such a Jiagu marine ranch means.
- Cow beep!
โโCompletely different from domestic farms!
โโNo wonder the seafood produced has the high quality of the wild and the high yield of artificial farming!
The more high-level the researcher, the more he understands the extraordinary.
These people have long been stupid, and no one has said anything for a long time.
And this is bitter for the representatives of investment institutions headed by Chen Jian and Mr. Mei.
The researchers' unsquinting and emotional performance made them seem to be witnessing something remarkable, and it was difficult for them to break the silence for a while.
But they look left and right, well, there is a lot of seaweed, a lot of big and small fish, in their eyes, isn't it a slightly dreamy "underwater forest scenery film"?
Ma Dan, where is the cow beep, but someone will talk about it!
