Shen Zhifu naturally understands these situations, but he is also helpless: sea rabbits start laying eggs in February and March, and they mate in January and February, when the sea water is too cold to dive.

In addition, he had to wait until August and September, when the sea temperature was right, but he didn't have that much time to wait.

Speaking of his distress, Shen Zhifu lowered his posture: "Mr. Ao, please help, I learned about your superb diving skills through the TV station, so I contacted Mr. Li and came to ask you for help." ”

His words made Ao Muyang wonder for a while: "Through the TV station?"

"CCTV channel. Shen Zhifu said, "Didn't a film crew come to the turtle sanctuary to do a program? I happened to be doing a program on the TV station at that time, and I learned about the village chief's skills through them." ”

Li Ji squeezed his eyes at Ao Muyang and whispered, "It's not what I found for you." ”

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, Shen Zhifu continued: "I saw Mr. Li's evaluation of you in the interview, he called you the first person to diver in China, I am an old friend of Mr. Li, and I trust his vision very much, so I heard the news." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Ji had no choice but to show a happy and sad smile.

Ao Muyang pondered for a while and said: "Okay, I can help you, but I can't promise anything, because catching sea rabbits really can only depend on fate." ”

In the past, there were many sea rabbits, because in the eyes of fishermen, they were worthless, they could not be eaten or sold, and they could only be fished out of the water when they formed the Olympic rings.

Now that the medicinal value of sea powder has been discovered, their value has increased, but their number has also decreased, not because of human overfishing, but because they live in the offshore sea, which has extremely high requirements for water quality, and also needs high-quality seaweed for food.

In addition, before the beginning of the industrial age in China, the offshore sea water was very clear and clean, and there were many nudibranchs. This has changed as a large number of factories have been built along the seashore and are discharging sewage into the seawater.

Shen Zhifu was very happy to get his answer, he put his fan on his sunglasses and smiled: "This is really good, Mr. Ao, thank you so much." ”

Like other marine biology experts, he also brought people with him to Longtou Village, bringing five people, but these five people did not look like his students, but more like bodyguards, all with solemn faces, quick and sharp eyes.

Ao Muyang went to sea with the black dragon, and the black dragon tilted his head when he saw these five people, and he glanced at the five people with a provocative gaze, his expression looked very ill-intentioned.

The five men were very calm and ignored him.

On the same day, they set off together on a fishing boat.

After the fishing boat went to sea, Ao Muyang received a phone call, which was from Dai Zongxi: "Xiao Ao, are you in the village?"

Ao Muyang said: "No, I'm doing a favor to a marine biology expert who is looking for nudibranchs in Hongyang Bay. What's the matter, what's the matter with you? I'm sorry, Boss Dai, I don't have time to help you. ”

Speaking of the back, he is quite proud, you all use Lao Tzu as free labor, right? Lao Tzu now has a fair reason to reject you!

Dai Zongxi is very good, he heard something outside Ao Muyang's voice, so he said quietly: "Oh, it's okay, it's not to ask you for help, but didn't you do a lot of help to the bureau and the fishery administration a few days ago? The bureau just got a batch of fish processing machines, I wanted to get a production line for your village, and you can develop a small side business, such as producing some canned fish or something to sell to tourists......

"Boss Dai, where is this machine now? I immediately arranged for someone to pull it. Ao Muyang said with a smile.

Dai Zongxi said: "Why don't you get busy first, don't you see that you are doing a favor to a professor?"

Ao Muyang hurriedly said: "Don't delay, don't delay, thank you Boss Dai for your kindness, I'm really grateful, I'll send you a few boxes of canned fish in the future." ”

Dai Zongxi snorted and asked him to find someone to go to the city customs, this batch of machines was stored in the customs, in fact, they were the smuggled goods found out by the customs, according to laws and regulations, this batch of machines was handed over to the industrial and commercial bureau after registration, and Dai Zongxi learned the news and deducted one from it.

After he hung up the phone, he called Ao Wenchang again, and after arranging everything, Shen Zhifu smiled and said: "Mr. Ao, we are not in a hurry to find the sea rabbit, if you have something important, go and get busy first?"

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Shen, I'll arrange it." ”

Speaking of which, there is really no rush to find the nudibranch, because it is useless to be in a hurry.

According to their habits, nudibranchs should seek out estuaries inshore where the water is strong and seaweeds are abundant, making them the preferred habitat for nudibranchs.

But now the river is even more polluted, and the water quality at the mouth of the sea where the river flows into the ocean is very poor, and the nudibranchs will never survive.

Shen Zhifu was patient, and they maneuvered in the sea to find the habitat of the sea hare, during which he explained to Ao Muyang the habits of this creature to help him find the sea hare.

There is a compound called apurirolin in the sea powder produced by sea rabbits, which is a highly effective and natural anti-cancer agent, which contains a certain toxicity, which can effectively poison cancer cells, but is non-toxic to normal cells, and the efficacy can be comparable to tumor necrosis factor.

"This compound has been tested safely in mice and primates, and it has been very successful, and now we at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are attacking this subject, and if we can prove that it is equally effective in humans and has no toxic side effects, then we will have another way to deal with cancer in the future." Speaking of this, Shen Zhifu could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

He brought a model of the nudibranch, and after introducing it here, he took out the model and said: "Later, when you go to the sea to look for the nudibranch, you should pay attention to the fact that there are two glands in the nudibranch's body, one is called the purple gland, which is born under the edge of the mantle, which is this position. It can release a lot of purple-red liquid, dyeing the surrounding sea water purple, don't be surprised when the time comes, it's harmless. ”

"There's also a poison gland in the front of the mantle, yes, right here, the poison gland secretes a slightly acidic, emulsion-like fluid, which is chemically toxic, so when you catch them, try to avoid touching the front of the mantle. ”

Ao Muyang learned a lot of knowledge from this, and he found a place where the sea water was relatively clear according to his experience, and then dived into the water.

The sea was clear, and it was just after noon, and the bright sun shone through the sea, emitting a soft halo.

The water depth here is between 10 and 20 meters, and seaweed lives on the seabed and in the seawater, some of which have to take root on the seabed, and some of which just float in the seawater.

Sunlight shines through the cracks in these seaweeds, and the sea ripples, and the light and seaweed sway, creating a three-dimensional beauty.
