Chapter 68: Nam-joo

"This one is a net, and there are fewer outs. ”

Hu Zhengjun shook his head, he still thought that he could make dozens or hundreds, and then pull them to the aquatic market to sell, and when the brothers' family came back, they always had to buy some vegetables and meat.

"Come again. ”

Hu Zhengjun and Hu Zhengguo continued to go around the net, Hu Xuesong was bored, and he also went into the water to pull the net, Hu Xuefeng also wanted to go down, but before he could take off his shoes, he was stunned by his father with his eyes.

Waiting is the most boring, Hu Xuefeng looked at it for a while, and then began to look around.

He is no stranger to his hometown.

Following his memory, Hu Xuefeng walked east along the fish pond, and not far to the east, there was Guangzhou Bay and Zhanjiang Port.

At this time, Zhanjiang Port was far less lively than later generations, but the first self-designed modern deep-water commercial port in New China was not so lifeless.

Zhanjiang Port is located in the southernmost part of Chinese mainland, Leizhou Peninsula in eastern Guangdong Province, facing HN Island in the south, the South China Sea in the east, the Beibu Gulf in the west, and the southwest in the north.

Zhanjiang Port is known as a natural deep-water harbor, with Donghai Island, Jinzhou Island and Nansan Island as natural barriers, and the port area is deep into the mainland, which can avoid typhoons in the South China Sea, and is known as the "Pearl of the South China Sea".

As the port with the shortest voyage from Chinese mainland to Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania, and the main channel for goods from southwest and south China, the status of Zhanjiang Port is undoubted, and it is precisely because of this that Zhanjiang has also become the station of the South China Sea Command of the Chinese Navy.

On May 1, 1956, the first phase of Zhanjiang Port was put into use, marking a new era in the development of China's port industry.

After more than 20 years of development, Zhanjiang Port is now full of ships, and yesterday Hu Xuefeng saw fishing boats returning to the port and large ocean-going transport ships docking.

The Lizhan Railway, from Litang in western Guizhou to Zhanjiang Port, roaring through the trains, and the steel giants, form a powerful staggered era.

Just as Hu Xuefeng was about to take a walk forward and see if there were any naval warships moored in the harbor, he was attracted by a group of people carrying schoolbags, pushing bicycles, holding hoes, and carrying fish baskets.

"It seems like a group of students, what are they doing here?"

In front of Leizhou Bay, which is the mouth of the sea, a large group of male and female students, and they are dressed so strangely, it doesn't look like they are here to collect wind and paint, Hu Xuefeng was aroused, and walked to the beach with the crowd.

When Hu Xuefeng followed the buttocks of this group of people, he saw rows of bicycles, and then this group of students had rolled up their pants and dripped into the sea.

"Where is this?" Hu Xuefeng was curious, so he stepped forward to take a closer look, and when he got closer, he realized that he was picking pearls.

"Could it be a student of the Fisheries College?" Hu Xuefeng has some memories, there is a Zhanjiang Fisheries College in Xiashan, and the students here have built a seawater pearl breeding base on this side of the bay.

Hu Xuefeng stepped forward to see the excitement, but happened to bump into a white-haired teacher from Zhanjiang Fisheries College giving a lecture to the students.

When he had nothing to do, he stood by the sea and listened.

I only heard the old teacher who was also standing in the sea with his trousers rolled up, and said slowly, "Nanzhu is a pearl produced with Pinctada martensita. The southern pearl is large, round, brilliant and charming, and is known as the treasure of the country and is well-known in the world. ”

"According to historical records, from the time of King Huan of Zhou in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were people who hunted pearls in the South China Sea, although the historical records are unknown, but this is the earliest record of the Southern Pearl. ”

"During the Warring States period, pearls began to be produced and processed in the South China Sea, and pearls were used as ornaments and medicines, and pearls were used as commodities to exchange food with Cochin merchants. ”

"It is recorded in the historical records, 'It is suitable for Qin to open up a hundred Yue, and Wei Tu Sui picks the pearl of the South China Sea to dedicate. In the time of Qin Shi Huang, in the era of Qin Shi Huang, Nanzhu began to be used as a tribute, and pearl officials were sent to be stationed in the South China Sea to supervise the coastal pearl people to go to the sea for pearl diving. ”

"From the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanzhu has been used as a tribute, spread in the court, but the extravagance of the feudal emperors has also caused great damage to the natural resources of Nanzhu, so that there is an allusion to Hepu Zhu, and in the Ming Qi years, there is a saying that 'Sui is scarce, people say that the pearl goes to carry on'. ”

"Until the establishment of New China, the party and the state were extremely concerned about the cultivation of Nanzhu, and Nanzhu was reborn and shined again. In November 1957, Premier Zhou Enlai instructed that it was necessary to carry out the southern pearl and change the thousands of years of natural pearl diving into artificial breeding. ”

"In March 1958, China's first artificially cultured seawater pearl base was established in Hepu Yingpan, and in the same year, Chen Jingyi, the founder of Chinese artificial nuclear pearl cultivation, successfully carried out the experiment of artificial nuclear pearl insertion of Mars pearl oyster in Hepu Pearl Farm, and in 1959, China's first seawater pearl cultivation was successful. In 1961, China's first artificial pearl farm was built on the shore of the Beibu Gulf. ”

"In 1962, our research on seedless freshwater pearl cultivation at Zhanjiang Fisheries College was successful. In 1965, the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology and the Beihai Pearl Field carried out artificial seedlings of Ma's pearl oysters in Dongxing Pearl Field. This achievement ended the history of pure natural collection of seawater pearls in the country, and ushered in a new era of pearl cultivation and production. ”

Hu Xuefeng originally had the attitude of listening, but when the old teacher finished speaking, even Hu Xuefeng, who knew something about Nanzhu, couldn't help but clap his hands for these words.

"Well spoken!"

Hu Xuefeng applauded and applauded, but he was also shocked by the teachers of Zhanjiang Fisheries College who were giving a lecture and the students who were listening to the class.

Only then did Hu Xuefeng realize that he was a little reckless, and hurriedly apologized, "This teacher, and all the students, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I listened too attentively just now." ”

"This classmate, are you?" asked the teacher who was lecturing just now.

"My home is nearby, and when I saw you lecturing here just now, I couldn't help but feel curious, so I listened carefully, and sure enough, it was really wonderful. Hu Xuefeng praised again.

"This classmate, you also have some research on Nanzhu?"

"I don't dare to say that there is, but I just smell a little bit about it. Hu Xuefeng is not modest, he talked about what he knew about seawater pearl farming and freshwater pearl farming, and finally said, "Although at present, in the international market, the freshwater cultured pearls of Japanese benzene occupy a broader market, but I believe that in more than ten years, we China will be able to surpass Japanese benzene, whether it is our saltwater pearls or freshwater pearls, will definitely occupy the world market." ”

"That's great, Mr. Hu, I really didn't expect that you not only have such a deep understanding of pearl cultivation and breeding, but also have such a confident foresight of the future pearl market, my surname is Xiong, my name is Xiong Daren, I am a teacher of our Zhanjiang Fisheries College, I am very happy to meet you!" Xiong Daren stretched out his hand and said excitedly.

"It's actually this industry god!"

Hu Xuefeng stretched out his hand and shook Xiong Daren, but in his heart, it was like a stormy wave, just because the person in front of him was definitely a big bull in the pearl farming industry.
