People look at problems from different perspectives.

For Qi Zheng, he knew that Professor Dong's project would be successful, and that the use of the "Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass" to raise salmon would become a reality in just a few years, so no matter how big the investment was, he dared to make a move.

This is a bit like a bank chasing after Jiagu to lend money, they have full confidence that Jiagu's investment project can produce huge benefits, so they naturally dare to give Jiagu a large amount of credit.

Most importantly, Qi Zheng knew that Professor Dong was a true aquatic expert.

There are two types of experts in the world: one is the rigorous scientific expert, who essentially solves problems through practice, and the other is the "brick family" who eats and waits for death, and essentially solves problems through imagination. The latter is like a rat, not only spoiling pot after pot of soup, but also surprisingly fecund.

The latter is avoided by Jiagu, while the former is vigorously wooed by Jiagu.

Although Jiagu Group has developed to the point where it can directly find academicians, academicians are a scarce breed after all, and senior experts like Professor Dong are the main force of Jiagu cooperation.

Of course, a few years later, Professor Dong also entered the list of academicians, although his fame at this time was not great, but after the Yellow Sea cold water group successfully "swam" salmon, his status was completely different.

But these are all things that Professor Dong does not know at this moment.

After listening to Jiagu's cooperation plan, he was both proud and distressed.

Pride is that the unimaginable treatment shows his own value and is a recognition of himself. The distress is that the more benefits he receives, the greater the responsibility on his shoulders.

If it was hundreds of millions of yuan in R&D funds, he would probably accept Qi Zheng's invitation without hesitation, but for billions of yuan projects, this figure made him hesitate.

This is no joke. He is a person who really wants to make achievements, and those who have a pursuit will cherish their feathers. If he messes up a multi-billion dollar investment project, his reputation will not be completely stinky, but there will definitely be no future.

Qi Zheng did not let Professor Dong make a decision immediately, and after the preliminary negotiations, he settled him down on Pishan Island first.

The fantastic scenery of the island did not attract Professor Dong's attention, and after thinking about it carefully, he first asked his old friend Academician Zhou, who was doing research at the Jiagu Fishing Grounds, for advice.

"Lao Dong, you know, I can recommend this project to Qi Dong, of course, I hope you can reach a cooperation!" Academician Zhou made his attitude clear.

Professor Dong smiled bitterly: "I know, but, Qi Dong is such a big hand...... To be honest, I'm afraid that Qi Dong's expectations will be too big, and it won't end well. ”

Academician Zhou understood his mood of "being poor and getting rich", but he thought about it and persuaded instead: "Actually, you can think in a different direction. Since Dong Qi dares to invest so much, doesn't it also mean that he has confidence in the success of this project?"

He blinked and said with a smile: "Moreover, in my opinion, it is actually the best choice for you to develop the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass and cooperate with Jiagu!"

Professor Dong said that he was listening.

Academician Zhou smiled and said, "Because, Jiagu is the best at turning the impossible into a possible agricultural and animal husbandry enterprise!"

Don't look at Academician Zhou's research direction is not on the "Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass", but he understands the difficulty of "taming" the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass.

If you carefully flip through the fishery news, you will find that when it comes to fishery production in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea regions, the cold and mysterious role of "Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass" will appear frequently, and it will be in good harvest years and bad harvest years!

This is because, in recent years, due to climate change, global warming, seawater pollution and other factors, this cold water mass has become more and more unstable. The slightest anomaly can cause temperature and salinity fluctuations throughout the sea, which in turn can lead to the extinction of deep-sea farmed seafood.

This is also why the aquaculture companies in the Yellow and Bohai Seas emphasize the environmental superiority of the sea area and the benefits of the cold water mass when promoting their products, and when it comes to business risks, they complain about the moodiness of the cold water group.

To put it more clearly, to "tame" the unruly cold water mass of the Yellow Sea is itself a kind of "turning the impossible into possible".

......

Academician Zhou pulled Professor Dong to the Jiagu Fishing Ground: "Come on, let your eyes be believing." ”

The research ship sailed to the periphery of the fishing grounds.

I saw a wave rolling over, and the seaweed could be faintly seen floating with the current, like countless long arms that kept dancing.

"It's ......"

Academician Zhou said inexplicably: "This is the giant algae forest in the Jiagu Fishing Ground!"

From the perspective of the underwater robot, you can see it more clearly: "big trees" rise from the bottom of the sea, dozens of meters high, and "branches and leaves" flutter with waves and currents.

These "big trees" have no roots, and they rely on a structure called "sessators" more than 1 meter long to firmly fix themselves to the reef cast by Jiagu on the bottom of the sea, and the regular arrangement of air sacs on the main veins of the leaves of the leaves generates enough buoyancy to lift the leaves and even the whole body of the "big tree" and maintain an upright posture in the seawater, forming a spectacular "underwater forest".

Professor Dong's pupils shrank: "The environment over here...... Good for kelp growth?"

Just like cold-water fish such as salmon, macroalgae need a cold environment to recover and grow. Throughout the world, the distribution of macroalginous forests is mostly in temperate zones and polar marginal areas, such as the west coast of North America, the coast of South America, the coast of Antarctica islands, and the coast of Australia.

In the 70s of the last century, the introduction of giant algae from Mexico in China also achieved good cultivation results, but that was in the North Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea areas......! It's in the East China Sea, right?

Academician Zhou spread his hands: "How else can we say that Jiagu is good at making the impossible possible? Jiagu has found a low-temperature environment similar to the 'Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass' in this area, and of course, it is more stable. But even so, if the giant algae can adapt to the environment of this sea, Jiagu has created a miracle that is not too big or small!"

"We don't yet know what the ecological impact of settling in the East China Sea might be, but at least it shows that Jiagu has a lot of experience in how giant algae farming adapts to the wider environment!"

"Not only that, China's existing main marine aquaculture fish include turbot, flounder and other cold-water fish, large yellow croaker, sea bass and other warm-water fish, although there has been a long history of aquaculture and relatively mature breeding technology, but whether it is suitable for deep-sea aquaculture, it is really hard to say. ”

"But the Jiagu Fishery now has both cold-water fish such as flounder and warm-water fish such as large yellow croaker...... Obviously, Jiagu has also made a certain breakthrough in the adaptation of farmed fish to the deep sea!"

"So, do you think it will be easier to make a breakthrough in the exploration of salmon farming to adapt to the cold water mass of the Yellow Sea?"

Professor Dong was lost in thought.

At this moment, Professor Dong's phone rang, and it was Qi Zheng calling.

"CSSC sent the design of a large-scale breeding ship......? Quick?"

Professor Dong was amazed by the high efficiency of CSSC.

I haven't even made a decision, and the necessary equipment for the project is actually in place?

Academician Zhou next to him was not surprised.

In fact, Jiagu's connection with CSSC was also led by him.

China's deep-sea aquaculture capacity is still relatively weak, almost only deep-sea fishing, and there is no deep-sea large-scale aquaculture platform that has not yet been formed. The gap is concentrated in engineering facilities, supporting facilities, cage farming and marine ranching construction technology.

However, in the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician Zhou knows that the country has a certain amount of research and technical reserves in offshore marine aquaculture facilities and equipment, aquaculture technology, energy supply, logistics and processing, that is, in fact, we have the preliminary conditions for the research and application of deep-sea aquaculture.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the domestic market, taking the South China Sea as an example, the sea area with a water depth of 45 meters ~ 100 meters and suitable for deep-sea fishery aquaculture is about 60,000 square kilometers. As giants like Jiagu continue to develop the deep-sea aquaculture industry chain, a fishery equipment market of about 180 billion yuan can be formed in the future, and the major shipbuilding groups are not moved.

He was responsible for taking the lead in setting up the line, and Jiagu and CSSC hit it off.

Professor Dong: "......"

With such attraction and organization, he felt even more pressured!
