958. The Great Barrier Reef (3/10)

When Afif returned, he also invited Qin Shiou to admire the corals and sea shells of the Great Barrier Reef.

Qin Shiou had nothing to do, since he was invited, he didn't continue to refuse, and got on the boat together.

Princess Lori was very happy, and she asked, "Which is harder to find, the moonfish or the beautiful seashells?" ”

Qin Shiou didn't understand the meaning of her question, so he said truthfully: "It should be the moon fish, this kind of very precious sea fish, catching it is the meaning of good luck." The beautiful seashells are still relatively easy to encounter by the sea. ”

At this moment, Princess Lori was happy and said, "You can even catch moon fish, so you must be able to find beautiful seashells, right?" ”

Qin Shiou blinked, and when he heard this, he remembered that after the storm last year, he caught a big moon fish in the Bay of St. Lawrence, and later made it into a specimen to participate in a charity auction, and it seemed that Princess Lori bought it at that time.

While chatting, they stood on the dock and prepared to board the boat, the handsome man of Hamdan was wearing a casual suit, wearing headphones, and his deep eyes looked at the deeper sea, still the most handsome style in the universe.

However, in front of ordinary people, the little prince is very personable, if someone comes to him to take a photo, even if it is a waiter, he will show a warm and slightly reserved sunny smile, and then handsome camera.

Of course, the premise is that the person who wants to take a photo can break through his two bodyguards.

Most of the people who came to the annual meeting of the Express brought bodyguards, some were assistant bodyguards, but most of them were one or two, only the princes and princesses of the Middle East, and they brought a lot. It's as if the troops were brought.

In fact, the security work of the Express company is very good, they themselves are engaged in the service industry, and they have a professional security company under their command. The entire resort is in the security of this piece of water, as far as Qin Shiou knows, they even rented an Australian gunship squadron!

So far, the only case of injury in the resort is related to Qin Shiou, leatherback turtle bites people and he beats people, this is the only conflict, the others are hello, hello, hello, everyone.

The sea area within 800 meters of the resort's waterfront has been cleaned. And it is cleaned every day, and there is only sand on the bottom of the sea that is finer than the beach, and there are no even larger reefs. The offshore sea has been transformed into a large communal bath.

So, to see the corals and marine life of the Great Barrier Reef, guests have to take a boat to the designated area, which has to leave the fishing grounds.

A four-story luxury cruise ship slowly docked. The captain himself came out to receive every guest on board. Distribute information materials to the public, describing the conditions of the sea area to be reached, including water temperatures and all the creatures that appear.

The guests boarded the boat and the cruise ship headed north, heading to a small town called 'Husky', which is the same name as a funny dog, but this town is not funny. It is a famous tourist town.

The waters around the Great Barrier Reef are a chilling blue-green color because of the long continental shelf. The sea water is very shallow, the water quality is good, and the bright sunlight shines on the surface of the water, penetrating the sea water and shining to the bottom of the sea.

Princess Lori was obviously visiting the Great Barrier Reef for the first time, lying on the side of the boat and looking out, all the time screaming 'ahhhh

Qin Shiou read the travel brochure and said that the husky sea they were going to was one of the most representative waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where there were more than 200 different types of coral reefs, accounting for half of the coral reef species of the Great Barrier Reef.

In addition, there are more than 1,100 species of fish, more than 2,800 species of molluscs, and more than 100 species of birds gathered in the sea area.

Along the way, Qin Shiou put the sea god consciousness into the ocean and learned about the world's largest coral reef area.

As soon as you leave the resort's waters, the underwater environment becomes more colorful, with reefs appearing, many of which are only visible at low tide, forming sandbars, encircling islands or clinging to the shores of the mainland.

"How did these coral reefs form? We don't have coral reefs in Dubai. Princess Lori first asked curiously, and then sighed regretfully.

Hamandan with headphones didn't know if there was music, anyway, he actually heard the problem that Princess Lori's voice was not loud, and said coolly: "We have desert, there is no desert here......"

"Yes, there is the Australian Desert, the fourth largest desert in the world, which stretches for 1.55 million kilometers." Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Hamandan turned his head, even through his glasses, Qin Shiou could feel the killing intent in his eyes.

Qin Shiou shrugged at him, held up the travel brochure and said, "There are introductions on it, in fact, I only know it." ”

"And how did the reef form?" Princess Lori's eyes widened and asked Qin Shiou curiously.

Qin Shiou explained: "It's a long story, because the coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef take millions of years to form, and they are cemented by the accumulation of calcareous crusts and debris of polyps, which absorb the remains of organisms such as corals algae and swarms. ”

Hamdan quietly flipped through the travel brochure, Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "There is no such thing in the manual, this is common sense, there is no need to put it in the manual." ”

"I'm just looking at it! See! The little prince was angry.

Qin Shiou stopped teasing him, and followed the sea god's consciousness to watch the underwater world in the southern hemisphere.

The Great Barrier Reef has far more polyps than the Daqin Fishing Grounds, and Qin Shiou is unable to move the polyps there, because they can only live in waters where the water temperature is 22-28 degrees Celsius throughout the year, and the water must be clean and transparent.

The water in the fishery is pure and transparent, but the temperature is a big problem. The polyps in the Daqin Fishery should be the varieties that the previous owner of the Heart of the Sea God, the old man Qin Hongde, had only obtained after many years of improvement.

The Great Barrier Reef has the most ideal conditions for polyps to reproduce, and through guò sea god consciousness, Qin Shiou can clearly see the scene of these small things reproducing.

Polyps feed on plankton, live in colonies, and when they are full, they secrete calcareous bones.

In this way, the old generation of polyps left their remains after death, and the new generation of polyps continued to develop and reproduce on this basis, Qin Shiou found a coral reef and input the energy of the sea god, just like a tree sprouting, the polyps secreted calcareous matter frantically, and reproduced wildly, developing to high places and sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh, the Great Barrier Reef is really a holy place for polyps to survive, if his fishing ground is here, he can build a coral reef in that year.

In nature, polyps secrete calcareous bones, which are cemented together with the remains of marine organisms such as algae and shells, and it takes a very slow time to accumulate a coral reef body.

How slow can this process be? Even under the best conditions, these reefs are no more than 3-4 cm thicker per year. As for wanting to form a new coral reef? Now living Australians are not visible. (To be continued......)
