Chapter 733: Clownfish and Uninhabited Island

On the reef at the bottom of the sea, the soft tentacles of the sea anemones sway from side to side with the current, because there are different algae living in the body, and they look different colors, like chrysanthemums blooming on the bottom of the sea.

However, these beautiful "petals" are poisonous, they have the same toxic neurotoxin as jellyfish, once a small fish and shrimp are confused by their appearance too close, they may be poisoned by the stinging cells on the tentacles and lose their mobility, and eventually become food for sea anemones. Only clownfish, dressed in brightly striped shirts, can move freely through the "flowers" without fear of being attacked by stinging cells.

This is actually an evolved survival skill, the hatched clownfish drifts in the seawater, looking for the same color as their own anemone to settle down, and actively contaminates the anemone slime on their body, so that they will be recognized by the latter's simple and primitive nervous system as "their own sunflower". Their presence can also help sea anemones resist natural predators, purify the environment, and trap prey, forming an obvious symbiotic relationship, so they are also called anemone fish.

On a large screen composed of six monitors, a pair of orange clownfish found that the big black fish (wire-controlled detector) that had just swam over was not a threat after several tests, so they led their "children" to swim out of the hiding anemone bushes, with smart movements and bright colors, far from being comparable to their peers in fish tanks and aquariums.

Because of its bright color and small size, the clownfish with black edges and white stripes on an orange background has always been the star of the seawater ornamental fish. 12 years ago, after the release of the animated film "Finding Nemo", as the prototype of the protagonists father and son Marlene and Nemo, their popularity has further increased, and their market share has continued to rise.

However, for clownfish and other small fish that live around corals, this was the beginning of disaster.

The breeding of marine fish is far more troublesome than that of terrestrial freshwater fish, such as clownfish, which has a unique "patriarchal system", and there is always a pair of male and female large fish in a group, plus a number of small fish. There is not necessarily a parent-child relationship between them, but a competitive relationship, and some of them are like male and female wolves in a wolf pack. The adult female inhibits the growth of other fish through hormones, and only when it dies will the young fish "open the genetic lock" and gain the right to grow up until a new "parent couple" is produced.

This mechanism is to adapt to the living environment of the seabed, so as not to grow up with small fish and not enough to eat, but it is very troublesome for large-scale farming, it is necessary to simulate their natural living environment and bait species, and to isolate large fish in time so as not to affect their growth. However, merchants were troublesome, and when marine ornamental fish were just emerging, most of the fish on the market came from the wild. Clownfish live near coral reefs for a long time and cannot be caught directly in the net, so traders scatter toxic fish repellent to drive them out, and then catch them in the net and sell them all over the world.

It is only in recent years, when "coral reef protection" has gradually become the consensus of the world, that this harmful overfishing has been curbed, and then artificial breeding technology has rapidly matured under the impetus of economic interests and gradually replaced wild fish species. also let the clownfish not end up with a tragic end similar to a bird of paradise because of the "love" of humans. The latter is because the feathers are too beautiful and beautiful, and they are loved by European ladies, and they are hunted and killed by profits, resulting in a scarce and almost extinct population.

Pointing to the clownfish on the screen with his right hand, Atletico said casually: "The coral can't move, the anemone usually can't move, and the clownfish are dead houses that don't move their nests for a lifetime." So the plot of 'Finding Nemo' is actually untenable, Nemo will not run around, and Marlin will not leave the reef to find him, after all, the outside world is very dangerous. ”

"I know all of this, they are not migratory fish, and they don't have the habit of migrating long distances. But what does it have to do with movies?"

Jumping off Atletico Madrid's legs, Tang Jiayi grabbed the hem of the beach skirt with both hands and lifted it up, revealing the blue bikini below.

Reaching out to help her take off her gauze skirt, Atletico looked at her funny, "Why are you so proactive today?

Knowing the teasing meaning in the other party's words, Tang Jiayi threw him a pair of hygienic eyes, "Think beautifully, I don't have time to care about you now, I'm going to go into the water to play with Nemo!"

"Let's wait," Atletico quickly stretched out his hand to grab her, "This is not a developed area for full-fledged diving, so it's not good if there are any hidden dangers underwater." Fiji is famous for its sharks. ”

"Am I blind? Normally, sharks hide when they see people, and they don't attack humans at all," she said, but her steps stopped walking outward.

Tang Jiayi turned around and sat on the chair next to Atletico Madrid, reached out and pulled the lever, switching the content displayed on the screen, "And there should be no shark activity around this island, otherwise I will really sue them for breach of contract." ”

More than a year ago, someone auctioned off high-quality overseas islands online, and Ms. Tang was immediately moved. It cost more than 7 million soft girl coins to buy the right to use this small island in Fiji for 99 years, and planned to give it to Atletico Madrid as a birthday gift.

Purely according to the price, this is a super value deal, the same area in the country, the price has increased several times, not to mention, the service life is only 50 years, not to mention that this small island in the South Pacific is still a rare tropical coral island in China, the blue sea silver sand coconut corals are all pluses.

But when she really started, she found that the uninhabited island in China was a pit, and the foreign one was also a pit. The follow-up renovation project was full of twists and turns, and there was no way to complete it as planned, and she planned to refund it several times, but was finally stopped by Atletico Madrid. Some time ago, the intermittent project was finally completed and accepted, and this "paradise" island was finally given to Atletico Madrid as a gift by her, although it was a full year late.

Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Qi and Lu Wei arrived at Egret Island and temporarily snatched the opportunity of the child's parenting, the two flew to Australia on a charter flight, rented a large yacht, and finally set foot on their own turf.

Although there are a lot of ups and downs in the middle, compared with the uninhabited island in China, Paradise Island still has a lot to offer. The long-term uninhabited environment of the island has not been damaged much, and it is full of pristine beauty, and the number of marine life in the surrounding area is far from comparable to that of the domestic coast, which has suffered from years of overfishing. Stimulated by what she saw along the way, Ms. Tang didn't stop at the expensive island villa at all, put down her luggage and pulled Atletico back on the yacht.

The construction of the island has been completed, with the construction of a small airport, a wharf, a combined wind and solar power generation system, a rain collection and purification system, a villa, and a small garden and vegetable garden, but the exploration around the island has only completed the voyage survey, and the rest of the marine terrain biological and mineral surveys need to be completed by the "Pearl Goddess".

To be exact, it was done by 20 unmanned detectors underwater. These miniature electric submarines are equipped with a large number of sensors, which can effectively record the image, sound, water temperature, magnetic field and other information on the seabed, and can form various visual images after being transmitted back to the yacht's computer, which is much more efficient and safer than manual inspection.

They and the operators on board the yacht are from professional submarine survey companies, relying on sophisticated equipment and standard processes, and the two-kilometre circumference of the island will be practical in a few days, if no one interferes with it.

As soon as the Atletico couple got on board, they took control of the four wired detectors in one go, which they used to search for content of interest. The survey team was also happy, anyway, they were paid an hourly rate, and the longer the time dragged on, the happier they became.

Watching the live broadcast of the underwater fish through these professional equipment is naturally not comparable to the large and small fish tanks of aquariums and aquariums, and the original ecological "performance" is also very different from the edited documentary footage, which makes Tang Jiayi watch it with relish, and forgets the possible dangers under the water for a while. Pristine sounds beautiful, but for modern people who are accustomed to urban life, these three words are not as simple as they think. There may be reef undercurrents, dangerous animals and plants, parasites and germs that may exist underwater, and even if you don't want to die, it is not a good experience to be stung and itchy by sea anemone jellyfish.

Of course, there is another reason for her to discourage her mind, at this time, these pieces of cloth on her body can be said to be unprotected, a few flutters in the pool are fine, jumping into a wild swimming dive seems too risky.

Asking for a beach skirt from Atletico Madrid, Tang Jiayi said while putting it on her head: "But I just said 'It's like Finding Nemo,' and you said so much." Ma is cheap, why do I think you are jealous of Hongguoguo? Seeing that other people's movies are more profitable, envy, jealousy and hatred?"

Without waiting for the latter to refute, she put down the sentence "I'll go to the bow of the ship to bask in the sun", and left the captain's room and went to the bow deck.

"Parasol on the head, sunscreen on the body, what kind of sun is this?" casually complained, and Atletico Madrid focused on the screen in front of him.

Because it is a yacht, this captain's room is very different from ordinary merchant ships, with more space and more emphasis on comfort and entertainment, such as the six color monitors arranged in front of Atletico Madrid 3×2, which looks more like the multi-screen surround display system that PC gamers love, which is more suitable for watching video games. Anyway, there is an operation room with a good view ahead, so it is naturally no problem for the captain to stay here to watch movies and play games.

Under his operation, the screen changed, and four video screens appeared, next to which were the system's synthetic seabed topography map, as well as the water temperature and flow chart, while Atletico Madrid was distracted and controlled the probe to patrol the seabed, just like the previous 16.

It's not that there are any secret treasures waiting for him to discover at the bottom of the sea, it's just that someone's old mistake has been made again, and when he sees a new skill, he wants to steal from the master and learn it. Although it may not be used, it is not necessary to use many skills.
