Chapter 228: Don't You Want to Be Famous?

After returning home, Ye Luo thought that there would be nothing to do in the next few days, so he decided to start preparing to open up the coral reef under the sea.

He first consulted the Hawaii Coral Reef Conservation Research Institute, and an expert told him that there are many ways to artificially create coral.

What is attracting more attention now is that marine biologists in some countries around the world are welding metal racks, including waste bicycles, to the damaged areas of coral reefs on the seabed, and then connecting the collected coral reef fragments to the racks, and finally connecting the metal racks to the power supply.

Because electric current can promote the growth and reproduction of polyps, it can speed up the construction of coral reefs.

The expert spoke several times in a row, and finally he said a recent research idea from the University of Sydney: the Modular Artificial Coral Reef Structural System (MARS system).

The core idea of the system is to make irregular structures with branches out of concrete, and then cover the surface with textured ceramics to facilitate the growth of marine flora and fauna.

Ye Luo is not interested in the first method, he has learned that this so-called electrical stimulation method is not feasible at all, it is just a gimmick.

In his opinion, not only is there no good, but there are also two disadvantages.

First, this kind of electrical stimulation method is very expensive and consumes electric energy, and second, electrical stimulation of polyps is a means of killing chickens and taking eggs.

He was a little interested in the last so-called MARS system.

In the next few days, Ye Luo used a paid consultation method, and the experts there were very conscientious and quickly sent the information he needed.

The materials are all a combination of English and Chinese, and there are many professional words on them, and Ye Luo looked hard to see them, so he called Daxter, Renison and Thomas.

Ye Luo took a group of guys with muscles far greater than their brains to study this information.

The group studied together, and the results were studied and studied, and no fart was studied.

After a few days of research, I finally got some understanding.

Speaking of which, the MARS system creates an artificial coral reef habitat by holding multiple modules together like building Lego bricks.

Typically, coral reefs are built on calcareous coral polyp skeletons, and it usually takes hundreds of years to go from the remains of the polyps to the ideal habitat.

However, climate change, pollution and overfishing of fish have seriously threatened these reefs.

Combined with large storms and destructive fishing methods such as blast fishing, coral reefs can be destroyed in a short period of time, and the remaining structures are simply unsuitable for coral-forming animals, such as polyps and sponges.

The new MARS system can significantly reduce the time it takes for coral reefs to form, as one of the functions of the design is to quickly repair damaged coral reefs, add to the restoration process, transport hollow ceramics to the desired installation location, and fill them with sand and reinforced concrete.

It is important to know that the MARS module can form a very complex network.

This network alters the flow of water, allowing food particles to stay around it and providing a protective haven for small aquariums on the ocean floor.

The polyps attach to the MARS module and reproduce one layer to turn it into a coral reef, so that the reef attracts more aquatic animals, forming a virtuous cycle.

After understanding this research, Ye Luo felt that this idea really had merit!

The main body of the building material required for the MARS system is reinforced concrete, which is hated by polyps, but the surface of these concrete is covered with ceramic plates with unique lines, and the surface of the ceramic plate has a complex texture that can trap water

food granules.

On top of that, these ceramic plates are specific and the raw materials include coral reef fragments to increase the cognitive awareness of the polyps!

According to the data of the adhesion material test sent by those experts, he saw from the above that this new material is very attractive to polyps, and the identity of polyps is 55 times that of simple reinforced concrete of the same shape, 28 times that of rough stones of the same shape, 22 times that of steel of the same shape, and 15 times that of wood of the same shape!

Ye Luo deliberately found the phone number of the external director of the School of Life Science and Engineering of the University of Hawaii and asked about the idea, and learned that the idea was still immature and was just a graduation thesis project made by a team.

As a result, speechlessness made him feel a little frustrated, and what made him even more frustrated was that the person in charge regretfully informed him that this idea was very unrealistic, and no national government would spend a lot of money and energy to make such a combination of reinforced concrete and ceramic plates.

But this is the most suitable reef expansion option that Leaf Fall can find, and it is more suitable than using shipwreck timber.

Although he has a system, the system does not have such a formed coral reef, but only sells polyps.

Without these frameworks, it would not have been possible for these polyps to form coral reefs.

"Anyway, you'll have to give it a try. ”

Ye Luo made up his mind, everything can't just listen to the words of the so-called experts, it is better to believe in books than to have no books, what the ancestors said must be reasonable.

In the end, after estimating the budget for building an artificial coral reef, Ye Luo checked the money in his bank account, and had to give up the idea for the time being.

The main thing is that he doesn't have that much money.

In addition, he found that although the coral reef grows slowly, it is enough for the current fishing ground, and the fishery has sown a lot of seaweed seeds, and when these seaweeds grow, then the fish in the fishing ground will not lack food, and naturally they will not be used for coral reef hunting.

What's more, a coral reef is at best a place where the fry can grow safely and successfully, and it is equivalent to a 'nursery room' where the fry grow up and return to the deep sea.

Let him go to artificial coral reefs in the deep sea?

It's impossible!

Even if Ye Luo is rich, he can't stand it.

......

Since he didn't have to think about the coral reef, Ye Luo became idle again.

However, Ye Luo has not forgotten about the docks.

I went to the wharf to look at it for a while, and found that after nearly a month of construction, the wharf has begun to take shape, two wharves are separated by four or five kilometers, and one is an indestructible gravity wharf.

The other is a high-pile dock, still piling, and the pile driver sits on an extensible steamer, and from time to time muddy mud washes up from the bottom of the sea, stirring up the surrounding waters.

A cement pile extends from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the water, the cement pile has been almost driven, and the rest is to set the pile around the main pile in the shape of a plum blossom, so that the last one to get up is the pile frame, and then to pave the road up.

Feeling that the construction of the wharf was going smoothly, he didn't have to worry about it, so Ye Luo went to the farm.

At this time, all kinds of vegetables on the farm have been ripe, and those ordinary vegetables have basically been picked and supplied to Lin Kai and the three of them, and the next supply will be the vegetables produced by these systems.

Ye Luo called Lin Kai and the three of them to talk about this matter, and they didn't urge Ye Luo, but said that they would remember to call and tell them when they could supply.

The ripeness of the vegetables is enough to mean that Ye Luo will soon have a lot of money and prestige in his account, but that's it

He decided to wait until all the vegetables on the farm were bought again, and then he would expand the production, whether or not workers were recruited.

If it is not good, he will raise his salary, and he will not believe it, and no one will come if the salary is high.

Of course, he didn't need to worry about this matter now, and it was all left to Scarlett.

......

Ye Luo walked around the farm for a while, picked some vegetables and fruits and returned home, and saw a computer on the table in front of Scarlett's mother and daughter, looking at it with relish.

Not noticing his figure at all, Ye Luo could only shake his head helplessly, and after taking the fruits and vegetables to the kitchen and putting them away, he returned to the living room.

"You're back? ”

Scarlett noticed Ye Luo's figure, glanced at him, and then fiddled with the computer for a while, and when Ye Luo came to her, she pushed it in front of him: "Oh, I'll show you this." ”

At the moment, a small video is playing on the computer, which is a small short video. The image above is very familiar, it is the image of him when he was cooking a few days ago.

"This ......"

After Ye Luo looked at it for a while, he pushed the computer down in front of Scarlett, frowned slightly, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is what Lin Kai's kid recorded when he came last time, right?" ”

"Didn't you read the comments below?" said Scarlett, annoyed.

Ye Luo took the computer again, carefully read the comments below, and looked at it made him feel a little crying and laughing.

Lin Kai should have spent a lot of money to hire someone to help make this little short film so good, basically most of it is the scenery of the island, as well as the clips of cooking himself and Lin Kai's narration of these dishes.

Those who have seen it below have different focuses on their comments.

Most of the people are basically praising him, but there are also those who slander him, thinking that it is a bit inhumane to kill fish.

This is not the point, the point is that someone actually launched a group invitation, wanting to come here with Lin Kai to taste what this fish tastes like.

Since coming to Aqua Blue Star, Ye Luo has finally seen the power of foodies, these people are distributed all over the world, and the travel expenses alone are a lot of expenses.

Fortunately, Lin Kai has not responded to them for the time being, otherwise such a large group of people will come over, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to take care of it, even if he can take care of it, so many people eat, and the fee is a big problem.

"That's it, judging by their comments, they seem to adore you. ”

Scarlett saw Ye Luo's flat expression, and asked curiously, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"What is there to say, they are just curious. ”

Ye Luo pouted noncommittally: "When the excitement passes, there will be no such enthusiasm." ”

"I really don't understand, don't you want to be famous?"

Scarlett looked at Ye Luo like a monster and said, "Do you know that this opportunity is undesirable for many people now, it's good that you don't take it seriously at all." ”

"Does it work to be famous? It's going to make a mess for me. If I want to be famous, there are so many ways that I don't need to do it at all. ”

Ye Luo said disapprerovingly: "Besides, you also know that there are not enough people on the island now, and construction is going on in many places, if a lot of people suddenly come, I am worried that these people will be injured if they run around, and they will definitely bring us a lot of trouble at that time." ”
