Chapter 048: A Diligent Manservant

"Professor, they're actually no different from ordinary shrimp, the only thing that's special is that they like to play with Dragon Ball."

As he spoke, Wang Yulong had already taken the first step to the sea, lying on the huge reef beside him, leaning over and looking at the blue sea.

Sure enough, the sea is empty, could it be that a group of shrimp have really gone to graze parrotfish?

Wang Yulong had to put a question mark on this matter!

At this time, Wang Yulong was surprised to find that the corals in the sea were much more luxuriant, full of colorful soft corals, and clusters of flowers like blooming on the bottom of the sea, swaying with the waves......

In a small patch of pink and pale yellow coral, Wang Yulong spotted colorful parrotfish.

As the name suggests, their lips resemble sharp teeth like the beaks of birds.

Parrotfish feed on the coral skeletons of reefs, and as they search for food, they bite off tiny fragments of hard corals.

When coral fragments enter the stomach of parrotfish, they are ground and then excreted through their intestines as sediment.

The feces excreted by the parrotfish are then dispersed onto the reefs, in this way, at least in this system and in the oceanic systems where parrotfish are abundant, they can convert the coral substrate into sediments such as sediment.

In the near future, the coral reefs that grow there underwater produce a constant accumulation of sediment and form islands that are exposed to the surface.

Perhaps, the sand on Phoenix Island was once the excrement of parrotfish!

From this piece of coral, Wang Yulong can feel the vitality, and the small polyps are condensed together to form this small coral.

And, when he looked closely, Wang Yulong felt that his eyesight was unbelievably good, and he could see the many small tentacles growing around the mouth of the tiny polyp, which they used to prey on tiny creatures in the ocean.

In addition, polyps absorb minerals from seawater to build their shells to protect their bodies. Polyps mostly live in colonies, dying from generation to generation, but the shells they secrete accumulate over time, slowly forming a variety of corals.

The polyp has algae living with it and providing it with oxygen for breathing, while the waste from the polyp serves as nourishment for the algae.

At this time, a blue parrot fish appeared in Wang Yulong's field of vision, and the expression of the fish seemed to be smiling.

Looking at the parrot fish in the seawater, Wang Yulong also smiled at the other party, although it was not clear whether the parrot fish understood or not, but Wang Yulong still smiled at the other party.

And, in addition to parrotfish, Wang Yulong also made a surprising discovery and found a sea bass.

The peach blossoms are blooming, and the sea bass is sassy.

Parrotfish are the main herbivores in coral reefs, and they help them grow by eating seaweed that grows on coral reefs to wash corals. The sea bass is fed on parrotfish, so you can eat delicious sea bass next spring, which is quite a bargain.

In addition, the presence of bass encourages parrotfish in the coral to thrive, making them bigger and swim faster so that they can escape from the bass's mouth.

These large parrotfish also become more effective herbivores on the reef, resulting in cleaner and faster growth of the reef.

This is the complete biological chain!

Grow up, corals, parrotfish, bass!

If the shrimp really went to graze the parrotfish, they would have caught a shrimp in advance, and now how can they be called out in the vast sea?

Could it be that the dragon balls are summoned to come out in the bright light?

Besides, even if it is summoned, far water can't quench the thirst of the near!

On the side, Qi Xing hurriedly came to Wang Yulong's side and said softly: "Boss, I have already prepared it for you." ”

"Gah-"

Wang Yulong was shocked when he heard this, how could it be possible, he hid the pearl well, it is impossible for there to be shrimp that have slipped through the net, and those sea shrimp have a good impression of him, of course, they are even more prepared to be obsessed with the vitality of the dragon ball, and they have no reason not to come.

However, Wang Yulong, the "boss" called by Qi Xing later, still feels quite useful, yes, he has an employee now, and his size can be regarded as a boss.

As he spoke, Qi Xing held out a crystal bottle from behind him as if he were juggling, and in the blue water, a shrimp was playing with a golden pearl.

When he saw the golden pearl, even Wang Yulong himself was surprised, damn it, there are still golden pearls?

Qin Lan tilted her head, the face that was enough to charm all beings was also full of surprise, and the curved curvature of the corners of her mouth could be vaguely seen.

Ouyang Xueruo's broken hair fluttered in front of her forehead for a few minutes, her cheeks flushed, and she muttered, "How can it be true?" ”

Ouyang Shizhen pushed his glasses, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "That's right, it's about the same amount as the shrimp I caught." ”

Golden pearls are naturally occurring golden pearls from white-lipped or golden-lipped pearls, which are produced in very small quantities and are very expensive. It is mainly produced in Indonesia, Japan, Australia, Myanmar and Malaysia.

So, how do you tell which country a golden pearl comes from?

Golden pearls from Japan, with a slight patina in gold; Australian gold pearls range from pale yellow to golden yellow.

Previously, Myanmar and Malaysia used to produce some good quality golden pearls, but in recent years they seem to have been discontinued.

At present, golden pearls are still favored by the market. The price of smaller gold pearls of higher quality has risen to $400~$600 per gram (which is more than 30 times more expensive than gold).

Indonesia's high-quality golden pearls range in size from 9 to 14 mm, and the price of each string (necklace) composed of this pearl ranges from 30,000~100,000 US dollars.

"Professor, I mean Dinghai shrimp, it should be a game of shrimp frolicking."

Wang Yulong didn't know how to explain it, he couldn't say that because of himself, these shrimps transported pearls to him from the distant deep sea.

There was a golden pearl, Wang Yulong immediately opened the cover and took out the golden dragon pearl, and the sea shrimp did not react.

After Wang Yulong took out the golden dragon ball, he immediately handed the golden dragon ball to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan stretched out her slender jade-white right hand, gently covered her red lips, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother." ”

Looking at the shy expression of the beauty in front of him, Wang Yulong suddenly felt an inexplicable heat coming from his whole body, and at the same time, something called happiness spread throughout his body.

"Mr. Wang, how did you catch them?"

"And why do they seem to turn a blind eye to your pearl picking?"
