"Of course it matters, Mr. Jin, I heard Captain Maldonado say that San Jose Island has been surrounded by a lot of marine debris before, right?" Deji didn't explain in detail, but looked at Jin Yang and asked him rhetorically.

"Yes, that's right, but what's the connection between these?" Jin Yang became more and more confused the more he listened, and what were he doing pulling marine garbage over to join in the fun?

"I'm sure you've seen some marine creatures dying from swallowing up marine debris like plastic bottles, plastic bags, etc., right?" Deji continued to rhetorically.

"Yes, that's right. What the other party said made sense, and Jin Yang found that he couldn't refute it at all, so he could only keep nodding his head and be an echo worm......

"Marine litter is a serious threat to the survival of marine life, and if the marine litter in an area exceeds a certain value, it can even imperceptibly damage the ecological environment of that area. ”

"San Jose Island has been surrounded by huge amounts of marine debris for a long time. After experiencing oil pollution, I think this sea area may really be wiped out, and even the smallest microorganisms may not be able to survive here. ”

"But according to Captain Maldonado, there was a terrible devil rain on San Jose the other day, which has to make me suspicious, and I think the weird devil rain on the island is not just because of oil pollution, I think it has a lot to do with the marine debris. ”

"Especially the unforgettable smell of fishiness, which is only due to the action of some unique microorganisms, the sea here can change so much, and those waters can be so fishy......"

"But now that the garbage has been almost cleaned up, the main problem we have left is how to quickly fix the oil pollution here. ”

"According to our original idea, we wanted to use microbial degradation to clean up the oil contamination here, but now I'm a little worried about whether our newly discovered microbes will be able to adapt to the poor environment here......

Deji patiently explained a big push, Jin Yang didn't seem to understand it, but what the other party said was so reasonable, he had to be convinced.

The professional is different!

Jeffrey and Kevin were collecting seawater samples on the ship, and even though Jinyang and the others had already disembarked, the two of them were still staying on it, collecting all the seas around the entire island in the same way that they kept two seawater samples in each area.

Deji is still doing popular science for Jinyang and Charlie, and this guy doesn't know what he usually does, so even if he is eloquent, he can say it.

"Mr. Jin, Jeffrey and Kevin are already collecting seawater samples, and this time we only brought some simple instruments with us, and we can only perform the most rudimentary tests and analyses on these seawater samples...... I'll give you the rest of the equipment and materials we need later, Mr. Jin, and make sure to get them to the island within five days......"

"Although no laboratory tests have been done, after nearly two years, a lot of changes in the oil scattered in the seawater have disappeared through a series of changes such as evaporation, diffusion, oxidation, and emulsification. Microorganisms are a good way to remove residual petroleum components. ”

Speaking of this, Deji paused slightly, his expression a little solemn, "However, this is also where the problem is serious. After all this time of natural decomposition, the pollution in the waters of San Jose Island is still bad to this extent, which shows that the level of pollution here is beyond our imagination!"

"Then what does this mean?" Jin Yang still didn't quite understand.

"This can only show that the pollution here is quite stubborn, and it may be related to the surrounding climate, environment and other factors...... In other words, if we use our new microbial degradation method, it may take a bit longer......" Deji said with a sudden flush of face and some embarrassment.

"I don't care if it's a year or two, I can afford to wait, and as long as this microbial degradation method is effective, it means that there is still hope in San Jose Island, and it shows that God has not given up on it......," Jin Yang said seriously.

But what he thought in his heart was different, if the other party said that it would take two years, Jin Yang thought that with his own space spring, he could completely reduce this time a lot, at least half, right?

Half of that is only a year, which is really nothing.

"Uh, ahem, this, because there are no tests yet, and no related experiments have been conducted, so I can't be sure of the exact time. But one thing I know for sure is that it won't be less than three years, or even five years, ten years...... How long it will take will depend on the follow-up in-depth experiments. Deji speaks very slowly, trying to make his voice clearer and more accurate.

"What? three years, five years, ten years?" Jin Yang's eyes widened in disbelief, if it really took that long, wouldn't this new microbial degradation method be almost useless?

"Of course!" Deji shrugged, as if he were a matter of course, "just to grow microbes."

It is very difficult to grow a suitable microorganism in the laboratory, and we need to adjust it to the environment and climate at any time in order to find a microorganism that is most suitable for the environment and climate here, otherwise the microorganism is not qualified.

At the same time, if we want to find a suitable microorganism, we need to choose from tens of thousands of microorganisms suitable here, if we are lucky, it will take half a year, if we are unlucky, it will take at least a year.

It takes so much time just to find the right microorganisms, not to mention the subsequent microbial degradation process, which can be a huge and complex project......"

"Uh......" Jin Yang was directly speechless, for you scientific research maniacs, maybe five years or ten years is nothing.

But for Jin Yang himself, five years is almost an astronomical number, and he simply can't put up with the fact that San Jose Island spends so much time trying to clean up oil pollution...... Otherwise, wouldn't it be contrary to his original intention of buying the island?

"What do you think? If oil pollution was so easy to solve, it wouldn't be a big problem that plagues the world!" Jin Yang's expression made Deji feel a little disappointed.

At first, he thought that Jin Yang was a rich man with ideas, deeds, and knowledge...... It's not as civilized as meeting each other, and it turns out to be just a dirt bun......

Jin Yang saw the change in Deji's expression, and he felt that the other party must have misunderstood something, so he quickly explained, "No, no, Mr. Deji, I think you may have misunderstood something, I'm not afraid of a long time, but I'm worried about whether the current situation on San Jose Island can last that long......

There are some situations that you may not know yet, except for you and Maldonado, no one dares to come here now, this is a famous 'Devil's Island, Hell Island'!"
