Chapter 33

Yang Yi had no choice but to send everyone to Zhuwei Village to say goodbye, and then followed her all the way to Nanshan City, which has the nearest airport, and watched the flight she bought take off before leaving.

Taxi to the beach in Nanshan City, he sat quietly on a reef, and found that he seemed to have suddenly lost something, the plane in the sky had long since disappeared, and his heart seemed to be empty. At this time, he realized that the girl he had never cared about had already quietly entered his heart and occupied a large position.

Holding a small silk handkerchief in his palm, this was stuffed in his hand by Tong Ling before he got on the plane, and the silk handkerchief was obviously embroidered with the process, which reminded him that for a while, Tong Ling had been asking her grandmother to teach her embroidery, which was originally to embroider this thing.

The embroiderer is not good, and many details are not in place, but it can be seen that a pair of koi fish lean on each other, red and bright swimming under the green lotus leaves, and there is a line of small characters embroidered next to it, "Xiang Yu is wet, and Xiang Wei is foamed".

He knows these two sentences, from "Zhuangzi • Inner Chapter • The Great Master", the original text is "The spring is dry, the fish are on the land, the fish are wet, and the foam is wet, and it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." ”

Originally, the meaning of the connection was that after the spring dried up, the two fish did not leave in time, moistened each other with moisture, and wet each other with saliva, so it was better to forget each other and be at ease in the rivers and lakes.

But later, people extended these two words to love, expressing that they help each other in difficult situations and never give up, and also represent the meaning of sharing weal and woe, life and death. Yang Yi held the silk handkerchief tightly in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, for him, he had to be in love in this life, and he didn't know when he would be able to see her again.

Depressed, he walked to the hidden place by the sea, quietly slipped into the water, transformed into a two-catty and two-meter-long ichthyosaur, and headed towards the depths of the sea.

About ten minutes later, he had almost entered the deep sea, and there were obviously more marine creatures, and the fish swam past him, and when they saw his appearance, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions, after all, in their eyes, this strange fish should not be good at stubble.

Yang Yi didn't pay attention to these underwater creatures, and went straight to a deeper and farther place, and soon he saw a gorgeous and colorful coral bush in front of him, and all kinds of beautiful small fish larvae corals walked through, and his mood was much better.

Coral is one of the world's four major organic gemstones, growing in the ocean, like trees, grass and flowers.

Coral has long been regarded as a marine plant. It wasn't until the 20s of the 20th century that scientists discovered that corals were actually calcium carbonate skeletons secreted by coral polyps, a lower marine animal.

Polyps prey on small plankton in the ocean, absorb calcium and carbon dioxide from the seawater, and then secrete calcium carbonate, which becomes their own survival shell. The countless small holes in these shells are the "home" of the polyp.

Countless polyps gather together to grow, absorb calcium carbonate from seawater to form their common "home", and fix on the seabed, which is the formation of coral clusters, after hundreds of millions of years of aggregation and evolution, generation after generation to accumulate to form coral reefs.

Corals are a large family of the marine world, with many species. Corals grow at an extremely slow rate and under extremely harsh growing conditions, making them an important non-renewable marine biological resource.

The South China Sea is an important growth area for gem-quality red coral, which accounts for 80% of the world's reserves in the area stretching from the treasure island in the east to the Indian Ocean in the south, but after hundreds of years of fishing, red coral is now rare and easily unseen. In fact, not to mention gem-quality red coral, even other ordinary corals, have also disappeared by more than 80% in the past few decades, and many places have to start artificial corals.

There are about 500 species of Chinese corals, most of which live in the South China Sea, mainly due to the clearest water, warmest climate and deepest seabed in the South China Sea. It is also because many northerners like to dive in the southern seas, swimming in the beautiful and colorful corals, and countless beautiful small fish swim by, as if in a dream world.

If you ask those who like to dive, no one will say that I want to see the rocks on the bottom of the sea when I dive, these corals, including the associated flora and fauna, are the main reasons for attracting a large number of divers, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia has become a world-renowned diving mecca because of corals.

These corals in front of Yang Yi belong to deep-water corals, and generally corals are divided into shallow-water corals, reef-building corals and deep-water corals. Shallow water corals grow in sunny tropical and subtropical shallow waters, generally at depths of no more than 200 meters. The water quality is required to be clean, the base is hard, the perennial water temperature is higher than 20 °C, the optimal water temperature is 25 °C-29 °C, and the water temperature is below 13 °C.

Reef-building corals refer to coral species that can live in symbiosis with algae, and then gradually form coral reefs, islands, and islands over hundreds of millions of years. Generally, they also live about a few tens of meters, and most of the islands and reefs in Xisha, Nansha and Zhongsha Islands in China belong to coral reef islands.

The corals where Yang Yi is located are obviously about 400-500 meters deep, and they are mainly red corals, which are also typical deep-water coral species. Red coral grows slowly, it takes 10-12 years from larvae to reproduction, 20 years to grow 1 inch, and 300 years to 1000 grams. Therefore, there is a saying that "the thousand-year-old coral is red for ten thousand years, and the coral race is gold for ten thousand years".

Yang Yi doesn't know where he is now, but as a fisherman and having read a lot of books recently, he still has a general understanding of red coral. Red coral has always been extremely valuable because of its pleasing color, smooth texture, and the limitation of the sea. In ancient China, red coral was regarded as an auspicious and happy thing, representing noble power, so it was also called "Ruibao", which is a symbol of happiness and eternity.

In ancient times, only the second grade officials have the right to own red coral, in Europe it is also the exclusive product of the princes and nobles, the same red coral is also one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, the red rosary in the hands of the great lama is made of red coral, in the context of today's prosperous song, the top gem coral is one of the high-end luxury jewelry, known as the first of the four organic gems of the ocean.

Among these red corals, Yang Yi took a fancy to a plant of about three feet at a glance, the branches were like dragons, the main trunk was as thick as a wrist, and the whole was dark red in the water, due to the light problem Yang Yi knew that the color should not be so deep, and it attracted his attention as soon as he arrived, like jade-like branches and the charming color and shape, no one could resist its charm.

Yang Yi swam over, and sent the coral tree and the rocks underneath into the Lingshui Lake of the Dragon Ball Space, and placed it in a safe location, moistened by the spiritual water, and sure enough, the color of the coral was even brighter, showing a positive red color, and exuding a jade-like color.

After turning around, Yang Yi picked some high-quality corals and sent them to the Dragon Ball space, and then drew out a part of the spiritual water and integrated it into this sea area, the growth of these corals will take countless years, and the moisture of spiritual water will at least not let them be damaged due to natural reasons, as for man, he can't manage such a large ocean.

The human factor has too much influence on nature, for example, it may take hundreds of millions of years to form a beautiful coral, but a single trawl may destroy the masterpiece of nature for hundreds of millions of years, not to mention all kinds of poaching and destruction.

The mood is a lot better, Yang Yi is also going to go back, and he still needs to visit Yu Xiu's house tomorrow, this is also his promise, thinking of Yu Xiu, he thought of Tong Ling, the two girls are also so good, if there was such a girl like him in the past, I am sure that he will be happy not to find the north, but now he is the first to hurt one of them, and I don't know if he has reached the magic capital now.

Thinking of this, he was a little anxious, there was no signal in the water, and he couldn't look at his mobile phone, so he was eager to go out, and the tail fin rushed out dozens of meters away, and at this speed, he should be able to return to Nanshan City in ten or twenty minutes.

But the sky always fails people's wishes, the more he wants to go back quickly, but he has trouble finding him, so he has to stop, and summons Xia Li and a few of their shrimp soldiers from the Dragon Ball space, and looks at the hideous "monster" in front of him!
