Li Ji finally agreed to his request, and he said: "Since you dare to die, can I still bury it?"

The old professor is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and he knows why Ao Muyang wants to get manatees to the sea outside the village, not because there are no manatees in the country, but because the manatees are cute and cute, and they can attract tourists when the time comes?

But he knew that the manatee had a strong appetite, and in the words of the local fishing village, this manatee could eat the landlord's family poor by eating, and the appetite was so big.

Ao Muyang was confident in this, and he asked Li Ji to operate the matter of bringing manatees to the sea outside the village, while he went to the fishing ground to collect kelp seedlings.

He hasn't been to the Brick Island Fishing Ground for a while, and now the fishing ground is managed by Zhong Cang and his wife and Ao Zhibing, because of the maintenance of gold drops, the fish, shrimp and crabs in the fishery will not get sick, except for fishing according to Land Rover's commission every day, there is no other work.

After seeing Ao Muyang, Ao Zhibing beckoned to him and took him to see the ambergris in the house.

Knowing that the sperm whale spit out this thing can undergo oxidation reaction after being exposed to the wind and sun, and can become real ambergris, Ao Muyang later simply bought a UV illuminator and gave it ultraviolet light every day.

Ao Zhibing just asked him to see the recent situation of ambergris, this thing has become very hard, and if you go up and smell it, you can feel a different smell.

I can't say what it smells like, but it's not a fragrance.

"Is this thing really ambergris?" Ao Muyang was still a little suspicious, it was Erdeng and Sandeng who told him the answer, but with Erdeng derailing, he didn't believe it anymore.

Ao Zhibing took a puff of cigarette and said: "It's ambergris, the owner, that's right, but ambergris has to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and it can only take shape after a hundred years of accumulation." ”

Ao Muyang said: "I thought you said that it could become a fine, Grandpa Bing, you are a little superstitious." ”

The old man said very seriously: "This is not superstition, this is a fact. ”

Ao Muyang raised his hand and said, "Okay, I believe you, then you can come and bake it when you are idle, and I'll go to the fishing ground for a while." ”

This time back to the fishing grounds, he still only brought one black dragon, and the two of them had to go into the water to dig for kelp seedlings, he could adapt to the cold water temperature, but the black dragon couldn't, so he let the black dragon put on a dry diving suit.

The dry diving suit is heavier and has a strong ability to keep warm, and the corresponding diver will be less flexible after wearing it, and the black dragon is reluctant to wear it.

Ao Muyang glared at him and said, "Do you want to go down to be a popsicle? At this time, it is good to go into the water naked, the corpse is not easy to decompose after freezing to death, do you want to freeze to death underwater?"

The black dragon rubbed his dark skin and put on a toned posture, Ao Muyang said: "Don't stink and be beautiful, there are no women underwater, who cares what you look like?"

After listening to him, the black dragon honestly put on the diving suit.

After entering the water, Ao Muyang went straight to the giant algae jungle.

Because he often walked into the water, the giant algae also absorbed, so it grew taller and stronger, and the giant algae jungle had expanded to occupy half of the fishing grounds.

Most of the kelp can grow to tens of meters, and the longest can even reach 200 to 300 meters, and can weigh a staggering 200 kilograms.

Although the macroalgae in the fishery are spreading all the way, it has not affected the operation of the fishery at that time, and it seems that it has also consciously expanded to the deep sea area at the edge of the fishing ground.

There was a reef at the bottom of the sea, and the huge anchorage of the giant algae hugged the reef like a monster's limb, and then a trunk fluttered up luxuriantly.

Roughly speaking, the giant algae resembles a tree, with a thick trunk stretching straight upwards, surrounded by many small stalks, which grow outward like branches, and along the small stalks there are also leaves.

The leaves of the giant algae are very large, most of them are one meter long, but the width is not wide, only five or six centimeters, so it looks a little strange, these leaves have air sacs, and it is the air sacs that generate buoyancy to lift the thick trunk of the giant algae.

In order to better absorb solar energy, the leaves of the giant algae are dark green, and this color is too strong, almost black and brown, so the giant algae can be seen through the seawater, and the refraction of sunlight by the sea water causes the surrounding sea water to be black and brown.

Macroalgae are cold-water seaweeds that are not native to China, but were introduced from abroad.

Ao Muyang looked at these giant algae, and vaguely remembered that the giant algae in the Red Ocean seemed to be introduced from Mexico, so it was a coincidence that the manatee was also from Mexico.

After discovering the presence of macroalgae in the fishing grounds, he studied the seaweed.

Of course, he initially wanted to see if there was any economic value, and by the way, he also studied the method of proliferation of giant algae, which had been useless before, but now he is going to raise manatees, and the effect has finally come.

The common method of macroalgae proliferation is to artificially cultivate a large number of larval sporophytes and release them to the seabed, and the stocking period is winter and early spring, without worrying about the temperature, macroalgae is a cold-water seaweed.

However, Ao Muyang took another method, that is, to tie the artificially cultivated young algae to the stone or cement stone and put it on the seabed, according to his understanding, if it is released in spring, it can grow to ten meters in summer, and if it is put in autumn, it will grow slower, but after accumulating the power of autumn and winter, the giant algae will grow rapidly in spring.

Macroalgae is the fastest growing plant in the world, growing 30 to 60 centimeters in a single day under the right conditions. In a year, a giant algae tree can grow to more than 50 meters.

There are many seedlings developed from spores on the bottom of the fishing ground, and Ao Muyang took a knife in the water and cut off the shelf-holders of the seedlings.

This is not the root system of the seedlings, and they can still grow after the retainer is broken, but it takes time, so Ao Muyang transplants these seedlings and has to tie them with stones and the like for initial fixation.

Leave it alone when the seedling holders are cut, they have air sacs in their leaves, and the seedlings can automatically float to the surface.

This work is not complicated and heavy, Ao Muyang and Heilong quickly cut through the mess, and they cleaned up a lot of giant algae seedlings on the same day.

It just so happened that the fishery did not need the kelp seedlings for large-scale propagation, so he decided that if he had manatees, he would come and transplant the seedlings regularly.

In fact, Hongyang has the largest seaweed research base in China, and there are giant algae seedlings for sale, and Ao Muyang is reluctant to buy it, not because of money, but because of the activity of seedlings.

The giant algae in his fishery are grown by absorbing gold droplets, and they have excellent traits and better activity, and he estimates that they are more nutritious, and manatees should like them.

In the evening of the same day, he drove back to the village by boat, and he called Ao Wenchang in advance and asked him to organize people to prepare to transplant giant algae to the seashore.

So, in the evening, the autumn wind howled, but the sea outside the village was lively.
