Li Du liked the island so much that he wanted to give it a name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The name Snake Island is the most natural, but he doesn't like it, first of all, this name is too common, he read martial arts novels when he was in school, and there seems to be such a name in it.

Secondly, the snake is too evil to use to name the island.

As he pondered, Sophie came and dragged him to the reef in search of scallops and oysters, possibly a large number of sea snakes, and a lot of shellfish living on the reef around the island.

Some people may not understand the relationship, but it is actually very simple, some shrimp, crab and sea beasts like to eat shellfish, and sea snakes do not like it because they cannot digest shellfish shells.

However, they can digest shrimp and crabs, and they will also attack the sea beasts they encounter - unlike humans, sea beasts have no intelligence, they do not know how to retreat when they encounter sea snakes, but rush up like two stunned people.

In this way, when the sea snake saw that the other party had come to attack him, what did he say?

The more times there are, the fewer sea beasts that dare to come here, and the fewer natural predators of shellfish, so they will naturally reproduce and grow in large numbers.

Standing on the reef and looking into the distance, the two could only see the vast ocean without waves, and there seemed to be nothing else between the whole world except the sea water and the blue sky.

Sophie shouted with her arms outstretched, then giggled.

Li Du asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Sophie didn't answer and asked: "There is a poem, I remember that I learned it, but suddenly forgot that it was written by your poet Saint Du Fu, as if it said that there is only a sandbar between heaven and earth......"

"There is only a sandbar between heaven and earth?" Li Du wondered, Du Fu still wrote such a poem?

He thought hard for a while, and then asked tentatively: "What does Piao Piao look like, the sky and the earth are a sand gull?"

Sophie waved her small fist and exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, this is it!"

Li Du couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "That's a sand gull in heaven and earth, not a sandbar in heaven and earth......

Speaking of this, he suddenly had an idea and thought of the name of the island: Sand Gull Island.

The name is a bit nonsensical, because there are no sand gulls around the island, but it is so fitting for this poem!

There are no sand gulls around the island, but there are many other seabirds, and some sea snakes live on seabird eggs.

In addition, the situation and temperament of the island are also in line with this poem: fluttering and fluttering, the heaven and the earth are a sand gull, here they can see this island between heaven and earth.

So, isn't it just right to name Shaou Island?

He is satisfied with many things on Shaou Island, but he is also dissatisfied with some things, such as a lot of snakes, such as the black gold abalone that is too far away from Golden Island to handle the catch.

But they still have to sell these abalones, and when they die after a long time, the value will be much lower.

Li Du discussed with a few of his subordinates, and finally found the result, that is, to go to the relatively closer island of Tasmania to sell abalone, and the official accompanied him.

They had made a name for themselves in Gold Island before, and many people wanted to buy their black gold abalone, and the two sides exchanged contact information with each other.

In this way, Li Du asked the masturbator to contact these people, and the two sides found a middle ground to cooperate, that is, the town of Herrick on Tasmania.

As long as the other party is willing to come to Herrick, Li Du is willing to lower the price, here is closer to Herrick, you can catch more black gold abalone, even if the price is reduced, they will have to earn.

In addition to dealing with the black gold abalone, he also asked Brother Wolf to take Hannah and the others to Tasmania.

He and Hans fished for black gold abalone here, and the others were not interesting to stay here, the island was beautiful, but it was not developed, and there were a lot of poisonous snakes.

After two or three days here, the kids and Hannah and the others are tired of it, so it's better to let them travel to Tasmania.

At the same time, he also gave Brother Wolf a shopping list and asked them to bring some things back.

Everything went well, the island of Shagull was only a three-hour voyage away from Herrick, and the boat departed for breakfast, after which the boat returned.

Brother Wolf replenished the yacht, stockpiled a large amount of diesel and gasoline, and he went ashore to buy a small diesel generator, which could solve the problem of lighting at night.

When the yacht came back, Li Du first went to the boat to get a mobile toilet and came down, which was the first thing he asked Brother Wolf to buy.

These days, they are very embarrassed to deal with personal problems, the island has poisonous snakes and poisonous centipedes, and he is afraid that something will get into his ass when he excretes, so he has to always pay attention to the back when pooping.

Doing so means that he will always see his poop......

In addition, Brother Wolf also used his expertise to purchase a large number of equipment suitable for survival in the wild, the most of which is insecticide spray.

He also bought some raw materials to make some medicinal powders by himself, which were sprinkled on the ground to effectively prevent snakes and reptiles from approaching for a long time.

With perfect equipment, Li Du wanted to take a turn around Shaou Island and take a closer look at this small island that he might have to stay for a while longer.

They had sailed around the island before, and knew that the island was not big, about ten kilometers long, about four kilometers wide, and about thirty kilometers around the island.

So, instead of continuing to take the boat, they put on a full set of wild exploration equipment and prepared to go around the island to observe the island from land.

According to Brother Wolf's estimates, the most threatening species on this island should be snakes, so their equipment is mainly to prevent snakes and insects.

Brother Wolf made smoke bombs, and he distributed them to a few people, saying, "We all have anti-snake spray on us, and when we spray them alone, they will be paralyzed." If you encounter a swarm of snakes, throw this. ”

"What's in there?" asked Li Du.

Brother Wolf said: "Gunpowder, sulfur, some medicines, if they fall to the ground, there will be a small explosion, and then the sulfur and medicine will burn quickly to form smoke, which can disperse the snakes." ”

Ready, they set off.

Brother Wolf is very meticulous, and when he went to Tasmania, he investigated the situation on Sand Gull Island by the way and got some information.

According to the Australian Geology Agency, Shaou Island was born more than four million years ago, when it gradually rose from the sea as a huge volcano as the earth's crust moved.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, the volcano erupted, spewing out a large amount of volcanic rock and ash that formed the island's periphery, and because the ash was rich in nutrients, it attracted a lot of life.

The corals that grow around the islands today are fed by volcanic ash, and the polyps absorb calcium from the shallow tropical seas and slowly form a lime shell, which gradually forms coral reefs.

Later, as the seafloor plates cooled, the volcano began to sink, but the reef continued to grow, forming the current island topography.

Li Du had already guessed that there must be something related to the volcano in the surrounding area, otherwise there would not be so many black gold abalone communities.
