Chapter Seventy-Two: Fierce Growth
Tang Hai didn't want to accompany these two goods so crazy, she actually said that Tang Hai has a lot of strength, and Tang Hai can use five people for planting seaweed......
Just as she was about to refuse, Jennifer said that both seagrass and seaweed are for the fish, and only when the fish are full will there be enough fish to eat.
Marine vegetation is equivalent to the ocean's 'nursery garden', which is in a vital position in the marine ecology, and the fish will come by themselves when there is more vegetation, and the catch will increase when the time comes. According to the research and analysis of Florida scientists, seagrass or seaweed, after being cut and growing, grows endlessly like leeks, and the yield is about 3 times that of high-yield sandy potatoes after cultivation! One acre, or six acres of land, can provide at least 100,000 catties of feed for marine creatures every year! It can directly bring in $20,000 in income!
Isoinclined planting successfully grows 300 meters long of giant algae, and the yield of one acre is at least one million catties!
If the biological chain is restored, the economic benefits will not be exhausted for decades!
And now that the world's energy is getting more and more tight, scientists are basically staring at seaweed, which is currently the easiest substance to convert into oil, and it only takes an hour! It's the current technological means, and the consumption is a bit large......
Tang Hai thought about it, although Jennifer's number was suspected of being a satellite, everyone knew that seaweed could grow, and he had superpowers to help, so he was crazy with her.
The fuel consumption of 1,000 US dollars a day is only 300,000 or 400,000 a year, and Tang Hai doesn't have to say hello to Gamboa for this money.
When the seaweed grows, if there is no economic benefit as Jennifer said, let her find a market, anyway, the University of Washington also has a pilot breeding area and a plant oil laboratory.
Although he made a decision, Tang Hai was still a little worried, he found that Jennifer belonged to the more extreme kind of ecological fanatics, and if she really succeeded in cultivating seaweed on a large scale, it might cause consequences that some modern top biologists could not expect, so Tang Hai had to maintain a certain degree of sanity while being crazy.
……
The biggest problem with cultivating seaweed is that the upfront investment is too large.
Some fast-growing seaweeds can be artificially cultivated by dividing the roots, which is what Jennifer is aiming for.
Buy it directly from her school, it is divided into roots, and the roots are protected by a special method, and you only need to use a kind of bio-adhesive to tie a special small iron piece and throw it into the sea, about 25 meters apart, and the seaweed will sink automatically.
When the seaweed takes root, the iron flakes will slowly decompose into iron fertilizer under the action of water-soluble oxygen produced by seawater and seaweed, which will be an essential nutrient for the initial growth of seaweed. When the seaweed is deeply rooted, it can absorb the nutrients of the earth on its own.
Damn, Tang Hai was stunned when he heard it, it was really science and technology that changed the world.
The seagrass cover only 2/1000 of the continental shelf is a pity for all oceanographers! But seagrass is not like some aquatic plants that can be sown on a large scale, so even if scholars have the heart, they don't have the strength, and no one is willing to help sow seeds like Tang Hai......
You know, if the Little Princess goes around here, it's at least a thousand dollars of diesel!
This is not an exaggeration, the average fuel consumption of a Chinese ocean-going fishing vessel is 130 tons a year, and the Little Princess was about 200 tons last year! In fact, most of the price of seafood is calculated on fuel consumption!
Don't look at the word 'small' on the Little Princess, this is a 500-ton fishing boat, full of fuel when sailing, can hold 60 tons of diesel, 3 large engines can provide 1200 horsepower, and it is no problem to go to Japan for illegal fishing! Now there are dozens of tons of seaweed on it, and I don't feel like running at all!
The price of oil in the United States is relatively cheap, but $1,000 is only about a day's consumption, God knows how many days Jennifer plans to get? Nowadays, it is relatively simple to grow grass in the offshore sea, and the more you run out, the more fuel you consume! If it weren't for this, how would seaweed cover two thousandths of the continental shelf?
How much seaweed do you have to sell to make oil money?
I really want to build a fishing ground, only to find that the ocean is a gold-swallowing monster!
The coastline of the purple dahlia fishery is only 17 kilometers, the United States has a total of 20,000 kilometers of coastline, and China has 32,000 kilometers......
Tang Haiquan should have engaged in edible algae farming in the fishing ground, and if Jennifer couldn't sell it by then, he would sell the feed factory.
Seeing that the funds in the fishery are getting less and less, Tang Hai is worried, Jennifer's planting plan can make money, but this seaweed maniac can also spend too much money!
These environmental enthusiasts are really double-edged blades, they can cut people if they are used well, and they will definitely hurt themselves if they are not used well!
……
When the ship was set back in the evening, Hadley immediately came to report the good news to him.
"Good news? It's not good news to deduct a week's salary, and it's useless for anyone to intercede! Tang Hai and the fishermen of the Little Princess were eating, and as soon as Tang Hai spoke, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Hadley at the same time.
"Uh......" Hadley felt a lot of pressure, he looked at Jennifer, thinking that he must have been burdened by his friends.
A group of people squinted and stared at Hadley with malicious intent. This kid was a little arrogant at first, but recently he has also mingled with everyone, and after these days of labor, he and Jordan now look like brothers.
Hadley looked around, as if he was a little scared, but after a while, he took out what was behind him.
"Shet, when you come to report the good news, you're going to tell me that you picked up a geoduck?" Tang Hai really wants to perform a live performance of the boxing king 97 Yagami hermitage!
"No, it's not, it's a ...... we raised"
"Damn, this is worse than picking it up! You actually picked it up with what we raised! I was scared out of shape, right? I'm not going to teach you a lesson today......"
"Calm down, boss! Calm down! Hadley is innocent! Johnny knew that Tang Hai was almost driven crazy by Jennifer, and kept staring at Tang Hai, and when he saw that Tang Hai was going to take advantage of the topic, he hurriedly rushed over and hugged Tang Hai's waist.
Then Jordan, Jason, and several sailors went on together, and finally succeeded in dragging Tang Hai aside! Seven or eight 200-pound strong men formed a human wall and blocked Tang Hai in the corner!
Seeing that Tang Hai was restrained, Hadley wiped his cold sweat and explained.
Some of the experienced fishermen had already seen the problem and were a little excited, but they still had to listen to Hadley.
Hadley took out a small broad bean, a little bigger than a soybean: "This is the size of the geoduck when I first bought it, and I have kept this bean as a measuring device until now." And now...... "small broad beans and geoducks are compared together, and they are placed next to a dollar of five cents of a yuan coin," and now, this is the big and small difference! It's just over a week, and the body weight is more than doubled, which is equivalent to the effect of someone else's almost a month and a half, or even two months! The rest of the oysters and clams are growing more than twice as fast as normal! ”
"Wow!" Little Lori didn't know when she came, and made her trademark voice.
Hearing this, a group of sailors went crazy!
Those who clapped each other's hands, those who jumped up and hit each other's chests, and those whose arms were hooked and spun in circles...... Tang Hai was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a fuss, you must know that it is not illegal to kill people with neuropathy......
Hadley was grabbed by several men and lifted up.
Tang Hai couldn't bear it, isn't this the scene where the six immortals of Peach Valley tear people apart?
'Farewell, brother. Tang Hai's eyes turned red, and then he saw Hadley being thrown up.
"Don't do this, don't do this! This is the water quality of the fishing ground, and it has nothing to do with me! Hadley was taken and went up to the sky, and he was so frightened that he had never experienced this kind of encounter.
It's just that he was in a hurry at this time, and he actually spoke Chinese! Also very fluent! But the only ones who could understand what he said at the scene were him and Tang Hai, and the sailors continued to throw!
"Your friends, they're ridiculously powerful." Johnson looked at Hadley up and down, and couldn't help but admire, this kind of 'super scholar' usually can't find one when he digs three feet into the ground, but Tang Hai knows three! I have to say that it was really lucky! Tang Hai was simply born to eat this bowl of rice!
Tang Hai squinted, and he didn't intend to explain......
