Link wasn't kidding, in fact he was really thinking about the possibility of buying a yacht. He thought that if he was just playing at sea for a while, he would like to rent one. But if you want to spend the night at sea, it's best to buy a larger boat.

A 500-ton cruise ship can be about 40 to 50 meters long, which is big enough. He can go out to sea with his family and even bring his friends. A thousand tons, of course, is better, but he doesn't know where to park the ship. Whether to stop at the mouth of the Quilayute River or to build a pier in front of the Mora estate.

They drove south along the road and turned east at the mouth of the Quirayut River back to the Mora estate, and by the time they returned to the estate, it was already dark.

In the villa, Martha has not yet found the butler that Link wants, and of course there is no cook for the time being. Link had to cook his own meals. Beef is available here. After the casinos in Las Vegas began accepting his beef, the slaughterhouse in Ozet was put into operation, and he had to give an account and fresh beef would be delivered.

And Tahra, as usual, brought a fresh river fish. Pike caught from Lake Ozete, a ferocious fish. Ozette has never been polluted, so the freshwater fish there don't bother with federal warnings. Like the rivers in the east, almost all the fish caught are inedible. The freshwater fish eaten by Americans are mainly farmed rainbow trout and tilapia.

Even if the rivers in the east no longer exceed the heavy metal limit, there are now new problems. For example, the water in some rivers may be full of pig manure and urine, and you want to fish for it, and no one thinks that such fish can eat it.

But the freshwater fish caught in most places in Ozette, if you are not afraid of parasites, you can eat them raw. In the past, there was no industry other than logging. And his current farming only uses a small amount of chemical fertilizer, completely without pesticides, and he does not need to worry about any residue problems at all.

The meat of the pike is not delicious. Link is a red braised fish nugget, and it tastes good. After Flon finished eating, he drank some red wine as usual.

He looked at the dark interiors of the villas, and it felt like he was in those castles. He couldn't help but be a little envious and said: "Sometimes I also want to buy a farm and live a peaceful life by myself." But I also know that that kind of life is not something I can live for long. What an ambivalence!"

Lin looked at Hannah as she explored the renovated villa and said, "It's not difficult for you to buy a manor on the East Coast. Go on vacation once in a while. When I retire in the future, it is just right to live. ”

Furlen laughed and said, "If I were to buy the estate, it would probably be on the West Coast." Storms are frequent on the East Coast. ”

Link rolled his eyes and said, "There is still an earthquake on the west coast! It is said that there will be a tsunami along the coast of Huazhou every 300 to 500 years." And the last time, it was three hundred and twenty-three years ago. In other words, no one knows if there will be a tsunami hitting my shore tomorrow. ”

Furlen was a little incredulous and asked, "How do you know that the last tsunami was in that year?

Link also found out after buying this Ozet. He said: "I watched an old documentary some time ago. It is to warn that there is a possibility of a super earthquake on the west coast. For 300 years, the United States has no history. But there are chicken plates on the other side of the ocean. In their records, there was a huge tsunami in 1700. But there were no earthquakes. ”

"It's also possible that there will be an earthquake in Chile or some other Las Vegas earthquake. Fren thought for a moment and said. "The tsunami in Chile is said to have affected the western Pacific Ocean as well. ”

Link was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know! But those scientists are exactly what they say." And if the last tsunami on the West Coast had occurred earlier, the risk would have been even greater. The energy accumulated in the plate subduction zone of the eastern Pacific may be released tomorrow. ”

Fren looked at the villa and said with a smile, "Even if there is a tsunami, your villa should be fine." "It's not a wooden house, it's a concrete frame.

"But no one knew where the earthquake would happen. The villa can only withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake at most. "The foundation of this villa is very strong. And under the foundation there are buffers.

"Isn't that enough?"

Link smiled and said, "It should be enough!"

"The environment here is really nice. Maybe I don't have a small farm nearby. After retirement, he made his home here. ”

There aren't really many big farms around here, but there are some small farms, just around Fox to the east. However, the area is usually not large, about a few dozen acres.

However, if it is used for the elderly, then a large place is enough.

Hearing Link talk about Fox, Fren thought for a moment and said, "I know it." It is a town with a strong werewolf culture. That's where Twilight was filmed. ”

Link nodded and said, "Yes, there are about 6,000 residents there now, but it receives at least 100,000 or more tourists every year. And there is an art center there, and quite a few artists live there. Of course, there are a lot of Native American artists. The legend of the werewolf originated with the Indians. ”

"It's supposed to be an animal totem. It's just that after the white man came, he fused his own legend and finally evolved into a werewolf. Flon said with a smile. "It sounds like it's a good idea to stay there when I don't want to work. ”

Flon stayed at Ozette for only one night before heading south to California to join his daughter. Link had him flyed.

Fren was really afraid of flying, and although he wasn't so bad that he couldn't fly, he had to plug his ears with cotton and put on an eye patch on the plane. It is said that then he can imagine himself by boat or car.

After sending off Fren, Link found Tahra.

He asked Tahra if he knew of gooseneck barnacles in the sea area attached to Ozet.

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few, but they mainly grow in the reef under water, and some grow near the surface," Tahera laughs. However, most of the time there will be no underwater portions. We once salvaged a piece of wood full of gooseneck barnacles. It's delicious, but it's not easy to get them. Because most of the places where they grow are reef areas with complex currents. No one dared to dive to collect. ”

Link heard him say that, and asked, "Is there a lot?"

"I don't know exactly how many, but we once saw a reef that was overgrown with that stuff at high tide. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "If I want to drive some stakes at sea, what's the solution?"

"There are many ways. If the bottom of the sea is muddy, you can use a high-pressure water gun to wash away the sediment on the bottom of the seabed, and then tie the pile down with the current. When the stakes are fixed, the sediment will squeeze the stakes due to the pressure of the water, and no matter how strong the waves are, they will not be washed away. ”

Link was thoughtful, and finally he smiled and said to Tahra, "Maybe I'll buy a fishing boat soon!"

"Link, I remember you've said this three times. Please don't make me happy!" said Tahera, shaking her head. Now he's a little dead-hearted.

Link smiled and said, "No, I'm serious this time." I'm going to plant some cement stakes in the sea, and then put on a metal coat to make the barnacles stick to them, and when they're done, we can use those shelves on top of the cement makeup to get them. ”

Tahera heard him say this, and knew that Link might really buy a fishing boat this time. Even if you have to harvest barnacles at a certain time, there is always time to go out to sea.

He hurriedly sat up straight, nodded again and again, and said, "Link, your idea is very wonderful! I heard that the price of that thing is not low, although I don't know how much it costs, but if it is farmed, it will definitely make money." Also, if you say you want to lay out the piles, I suggest you just get some cement shelves as artificial reefs. "Then there will be more fish in this area.

Link's first thought was cost. But when I think about it, if he was just planting cement piles in the sea, maybe some people would say that he was really destroying the environment, but if he put artificial fishing reefs, there would never be such a sound. Maybe he can make a name for himself as an eco-friend.

If he had put artificial reefs, the cost would probably not have been very high.

He nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”

Asked about gooseneck barnacles.

Link then took a helicopter ride to Niehbe to find Brad and Hayley. He needed to know the progress of the Giant Algae project. Knowing that the experiment was going well, he asked them about their plans to expand the lab.

I heard that they wanted to invest a million dollars in new equipment. Link groaned for a moment, then agreed. However, he also made one condition: "You come up with the equipment that needs to be purchased." I will send the purchase. ”

Brad has no problem with this.

After the topic of the Kelp Project was finished, Link talked about his plan to put an artificial reef on it.

"If I put artificial reefs there, will it affect the macroalgae?"

Brad just thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Link, we plan to release the giant algae into the sea area at a depth of forty to one hundred meters. According to your plan, the depth of the artificial reef you intend to land should not exceed 20 meters. That shouldn't make a difference. However, kelp forms kelp forests on the seafloor, which may affect the flow of water there. There may be some impact on your barnacle farming program. You know that gooseneck barnacles demand a sea area where water exchanges frequently. ”

"You mean that the giant algae affects the currents?"

Brad nodded and said, "If the density is high enough, the impact will definitely be there." But that won't have a big impact. The energy of the current is greater than that of the wind, and there are currents passing through the sea area of the Ozette farm, and it is impossible for the algae to completely block the currents. ”

Link listened to him say, "As long as it doesn't have an impact on the ecology. Then no problem. Isn't it?"

Hayley interjected, "No, that's definitely going to affect the ecology. But that would make the ecology of that area better. ”
