Chapter 355: A Whale Falls, All Things Are Born!
Zhuang Haiyang, who specially hired professional security personnel and embarked on the sea trip again, was also much more relieved than before. Compared with the previous fact that there was only one man on the island, Zhou Hongjie, now that Hong Wei and others have arrived, the island will be much safer.
If strangers want to enter Nanshan Island, they also need to pass through Hong Wei and others first. Even Zhuang Haiyang didn't have to worry, because he was not at home with his comrades, and someone would loot the oysters on Oyster Island overnight.
It's not like this happening. In fact, there will always be people in this world who will be red-eyed!
Set up the crab pot as usual, and taking the opportunity to have dinner, Wang Yanming also asked at the right time: "How is the matter of overseas ranches being discussed now? Can it be finalized this year?"
"We're talking! Compared to the consulting company and the rancher, they all want to close the deal as soon as possible, but I'm not in a hurry. As long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy the ranch you want? So, I asked the person in charge of negotiation to slowly grind with them. ”
"Aren't you afraid that those people will complain?"
"What are you afraid of, isn't it normal to be cautious about a deal involving tens of millions of US dollars? Besides, don't take advantage of the fact that the deal has not yet been reached, and mention more favorable conditions. If you really buy it in a hurry, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!"
"Oh, anyway, it's overseas!"
It is clear that Zhuang Haiyang really wants to buy a marine ranch, but he does not seem to be in such a hurry. At least in Wang Yanming's opinion, even if the ranch can be bought this year, it is estimated that Zhuang Haiyang will not have much time to operate and rectify the ranch he purchased.
In this case, Zhuang Haiyang really doesn't need to worry!
After thinking about it, he said, "What are you going to do about the new recruitment?"
Knowing that a new salvage ship was customized, it was natural to recruit some crew members. In Wang Yanming's view, this batch of new crew members must still be recruited from the old army. But how many specific recruits, he still wants to hear Zhuang Haiyang's opinion.
In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said: "Let's recruit ten first! When the time comes, half of the people from the ship will go to the new ship." In that case, the size of fifteen or sixteen people per boat should still be sufficient.
When the purchase of the ranch is finalized, I will order an ocean-going fishing vessel. If you go to sea, the combined manpower of the two boats should still be enough. Specifically, let's wait for someone to recruit after they arrive. ”
"That's right, with our way of fishing, a boat of about a dozen people is indeed busy. ”
Compared with other fishing vessels, Zhuang Haiyang's fishing operation requires not much manpower. There are fewer people, and at most the speed of sorting is slower. In terms of efficiency, it is naturally improved.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Yanming said in a low voice: "When Hong Wei and the others get on the ship, if we go out to the ocean, will those things also be handed over to them to use?
Regarding this question, Zhuang Haiyang was silent for a while before saying: "Let's take a look first! At this stage, I don't know much about them." There are some things that are not convenient for them to know too much for the time being, and if they really report it, there will still be trouble. ”
"It's just that this kind of thing, I'm sure it's not uncommon to see it on other ocean-going ships!"
"I don't care what others do, but it's not wrong to be cautious when we say it. Although they were hired by me, in order to truly gain my trust, it depends on their work attitude and personal choice. ”
In a word, Hong Wei and his entourage at this stage have not been able to get Zhuang Haiyang's full trust. After a long time, some things can only be seen by getting along for a long time that these people are unreliable and worthy of their trust.
As the old saying goes, you can't do without the heart of guarding against others. When it comes to some sensitive matters, it's okay to be cautious!
After dinner, Zhuang Haiyang dived into the deep sea to cruise as usual, and gave Haizhu to replenish energy. Compared with when the space first opened, the scale of today's space pool has expanded to a range of nearly 500 meters, nearly doubled.
This also means that Zhuang Haiyang's previous guess was very correct, and Dinghaizhu space belongs to a growth space. It will continue to expand and improve as it absorbs more energy, and the higher Zhuang Haiyang's cultivation becomes.
In the waterhole of the space, there are already many seafood, fish and shellfish collected by Zhuang Haiyang. The appearance of these creatures also seems to promote the evolution of space. Correspondingly, these creatures are not slow to reproduce in space.
I was worried that raising too much seafood might cause them to kill each other. But now it seems that there is no need to worry about it. Most of the creatures raised in the space pool live very freely, and it is rare for big fish to eat small fish.
As usual, while releasing the Dinghai Pearl to absorb the beneficial energy in the surrounding sea, Zhuang Haiyang is also searching for the situation on the seabed in the deep water. Unfortunately, there seem to be few traces of shipwrecks in the sea area this time.
Zhuang Haiyang, who has been accustomed to cruising on the bottom of the sea, is also accustomed to the feeling of emptiness when he sinks to the bottom of the sea. More often, he will also use this way of bottoming out to constantly temper his physical strength and let his body adapt to deeper water pressure.
In fact, many comrades-in-arms know that Zhuang Haiyang can stay for a long time without wearing diving equipment when he dives 200 meters underwater. But they didn't know that Zhuang Haiyang at this moment was often dangling under water of about six hundred meters.
Even if you don't stay for a long time, this water level is a depth that many submarines with superior performance dare not try easily. It can be said that if he encounters a submarine again at this moment, Zhuang Haiyang can completely dive underwater.
When you feel that the deeper you are at the bottom of the sea, the fewer creatures you can see. The situation that appeared in front of him attracted Zhuang Haiyang's attention. As he swam to the area, he quickly spotted a number of sea creatures that were running quickly.
Looking at the huge skeleton left on the bottom of the sea, Zhuang Haiyang also said with emotion: "This should be the skeleton of a whale!"
A whale falls, and all things are born!
Born in the sea, dying in the sea, feeding back to the sea, the appearance of whale falls also provides a rich source of food for deep-sea creatures, and is known as an oasis of deep-sea life together with hydrothermal and cold springs. This is actually not very common.
It's just that what Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect was that he was lucky enough to see this scene this time. The most surprising thing for him was that there were several whale skeletons in this place, which looked like an undersea canyon.
Thinking of the research value of whale falls, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "I'm really sad that I don't have anything to repay the old man, tell him the news, I believe he should be interested! This kind of scene should be rare!"
The so-called old man is Wang Mingcheng, who gave Zhuang Haiyang a lot of help. As an expert in the study of the ocean and archaeology, Zhuang Haiyang believes that the appearance of this kind of whale fall should bring some surprises to the old man.
Taking out the underwater camera from the space, Zhuang Haiyang quickly took a few photos, and then surfaced directly. Through the satellite phone you carry, you can remember the bearing parameters of the sea area. When the time comes, you can directly report the message.
Although there is no big gain, seeing such a rare whale fall, Zhuang Haiyang still feels quite shocked. Swimming back to the place where the salvage ship was anchored, the other comrades also began to wash and prepare for rest.
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang returning, Wang Yanming, who was reading a book in the cockpit, also smiled and said, "Is there anything to gain?"
"No! This place is not a sea area that was often used by ancient merchant ships. However, there is still a small gain!"
"What's the catch?"
Facing Wang Yanming's curiosity, Zhuang Haiyang directly handed over the camera. After taking the camera and seeing the photos taken, Wang Yanming was also puzzled and said: "What kind of skeleton is this? Is it a whale? Is this very strange?"
"If it's in a place with a lot of whales abroad, it doesn't seem strange. But in our country, this kind of whale fall phenomenon is still relatively rare. Through this phenomenon, it can also play a great role in the study of marine ecology!"
"Whale Fall! I haven't heard much of it!"
People who don't understand the value of the whale fall phenomenon naturally think that these are a few whale skeletons, what's so strange?
But for Zhuang Haiyang, he is aware of the existence of this phenomenon, which can help to study the marine ecosystem. Wang Yanming will feel worthless, but it is actually normal. In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang didn't explain much.
If those whale skeletons are valuable, it is estimated that Wang Yanming will also feel that this is valuable!
At the end of the four-day sea fishing, Zhuang Haiyang and his party set off for their return voyage as usual. Hong Wei and others, who had already lived on the island, were also quite happy to see the salvage boat return safely, and they got on the boat to check the catch.
Looking at the various seafood filled with the water tank, Hong Wei was also amazed and said: "Hold the grass! So much seafood?"
"Is it a lot? That's not much? The actual catch on this trip to sea is not a good thing. In the future, you will know what kind of valuable seafood you hit, and that's what kind of fun it will be!"
In addition to these fresh seafood, the real largest amount is the seafood stored in the fresh hold. Looking at the various seafood fished out separately, Hong Wei and others finally understood why these comrades-in-arms would say that there was absolutely no seafood on the island.
Working in this kind of place, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can taste all the seafood in China. I told Zhuang Haiyang about the situation at home, and nothing happened in the past few days.
Knowing that staying on the island was a little boring, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Lao Hong, Ouyang, do you want to go to the fishing market in the town to have a look?" When you have time, you can also go to the town to take a look and familiarize yourself with the situation here." ”
"Okay, I haven't seen it yet, how can such a boatload of seafood be sold!"
For Ouyang Lei and the other female soldier, they did find it a little boring on the island. Even if they can help patrol or something, they are still curious about the situation nearby.
Now that Zhu Junhong and the others are off the boat, they are also watching at home, so they can naturally follow to see the excitement. If they really want to stay on the island every day, they also feel quite bored. Find more freshness and fun, and you can also adjust your mood.
Besides, if there is any situation in the future, they will need to sail to this side of the town. Familiarize yourself with the situation in the town with the boat, and they will come to the town in the future, and they don't know anything about the nearest town!
