Chapter 187: Culturing Dinoflagellates (4/5)
When Lu Yao checked out and went out, the owner of the store still looked reluctant, it was rare to have such a customer who was willing to listen to his bragging, so he also gave Lu Yao a 20% discount when checking out.
Lu Yao pretended to be a tourist, wandering around the fishing port dock in Bincheng City, and he found that not only was the fishing industry quite developed, but also there were many tourists who came here.
Bincheng City has excellent environment, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, has the reputation of "Pearl of the North" and "Romantic Capital", and has successively won the honors of International Garden City, Best Tourism City in China, and National Environmental Protection Model City.
With so many famous attractions to see, mid-November is the best time to visit the city, so it's no surprise to spot visitors from all over the world along the way.
Lu Yao has his own tasks on this trip, so naturally he can't be as leisurely as those tourists. Gradually, he avoided the crowd and walked towards a sparsely populated area, and when he reached a remote beach where no one noticed, he cast a stealth spell on himself and dived into the sea.
Like a dragon swimming in the sea, Lu Yao used the water escape technique to go in the direction of the black stone seaside where the fluorescent beach occurred.
Although according to the information inquired by Lu Yao, such a spectacle will only appear around mid-April.
But Lu Yao wanted to try it, and let some of this algae plant that emits luminous light enter the inland sea of Fanghu Immortal Island and transform it with aura, to see if there would be any abnormalities.
In case it can continue to shine for a long time at that time, Lu Yao will make a lot of money, even if it can't appear all year round, it doesn't matter, as long as it can form a fluorescent beach.
In fact, according to Lu Yao's investigation, the cases of fluorescent beaches that occur all over the world are not fixed in a certain season, but 12 months a year.
The key is related to the temperature, as long as the number of dinoflagellates is large, the temperature is suitable, and all kinds of conditions are in place, you can see it if you are lucky.
When Lu Yao arrived at the Black Rock Seaside, it was quiet and there were few tourists.
Now that winter has begun, there are very few people who actually swim in the sea, and this is not the season for fluorescent beaches to break out, so there are naturally not many people to see except for some local fishermen who occasionally go out to sea to catch fish.
Dinoflagellates are underwater phosphorus-fire microorganisms, organisms between animals and plants, and are the general name of flagellates in the order Macrophyta, Euglena, Cryptophyta and Chlorophyta.
When it is harassed by the outside world, it will release bright light like a firefly, and the fireflies are clearly visible at night, and this light energy release is the self-defense function of flagellated algae.
The higher the concentration of dinoflagellates, the more prominent the nocturnal scene, the more violent the disturbance, and the more significant the brightness.
Therefore, the three most important conditions for producing fluorescent beaches are that the bay is shallow, with a small inlet that connects with the ocean, so that the dinoflagellates can only enter and not exit, and the concentration can be concentrated to a certain extent, so that it can be visible to the naked eye.
Secondly, the bay should be minimized to pollution, dinoflagellates are sensitive to pollution, and keeping the water clean is extremely important for its survival.
Finally, there are mangrove forests, whose roots release a wealth of vitamin B12 and various nutrients, which are essential elements for dinoflagellates to produce bright light, while mangrove roots can purify water and protect dinoflagellates.
For Dolphin Bay, these three conditions are all met, which is why Lu Yao insists on creating a fluorescent beach.
Dinoflagellates are only one twentieth of a millimeter in size and are difficult to see with the naked eye. Only a person with divine consciousness like Lu Yao can find the existence of dinoflagellates in a vast sea water, otherwise he can only use a microscope to extract the operation.
Dinoflagellates are typical facultative trophic organisms that directly utilize dissolved organic matter, so they can grow quickly in water bodies rich in organic matter.
Lu Yao is planning to evolve them in the sea water containing spiritual energy, so that the phytoplankton composition will be larger.
He ingests a clump of seawater containing dinoflagellates and uses a water control trick to break down the excess and other non-dinoflagellated phytoplankton, leaving the dinoflagellate-rich seawater.
Lu Yao entered the inland sea of Fanghu Immortal Island, dug a pond near the coast, so that the seawater could only enter and not exit, and then arranged several spirit gathering talismans, and then released the sea water containing flagellates into the pond.
In this way, he tirelessly extracted dinoflagellates from the seawater by the Black Rock Sea, and then cultivated them in the ponds in the inland sea of Fanghuxian Island.
He plans to wait for these dinoflagellates to absorb the aura, evolve, and reproduce steadily, and then move to Dolphin Bay to breed.
Lu Yao kept going in and out for two hours straight, extracting tons of seawater, harvesting a total of several cubic meters of dinoflagellates-rich seawater and filling the pond he had dug.
The dense dinoflagellates gathered together, and even if you don't need to sense it with your sense, you can see those shiny little things with the naked eye alone.
Lu Yao used his spiritual power to shake a wave in the pond, and suddenly all the dinoflagellates in the pond began to glow, like clusters of dark blue ghost fires floating on the water surface, which was so beautiful, even during the day, it couldn't hide the bright light emitted by so many dinoflagellates.
Looking at the gorgeous scene in front of him, Lu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had obtained these original plants, and the next question was how to cultivate them.
He tried to pour aura into those dinoflagellates, and was pleasantly surprised to find that dinoflagellates could actually absorb aura, and after absorbing aura, their bodies began to swell, and the dinoflagellates, which were originally invisible to the naked eye, finally absorbed enough aura and became the size of a speck of dust.
Although it will still be ignored if you don't pay close attention to observation, it proves that Lu Yao's idea is indeed feasible.
As long as these flagellates continue to grow in an environment with strong aura, they will slowly evolve and change, and reproduce in this way for three or four generations, so that the genes of their evolution can be stabilized, so that they can be transferred to the outside world.
However, in this way, the dinoflagellates, which originally relied mainly on light and action to grow, will be particularly dependent on Reiki, and if the aura is insufficient, these evolved dinoflagellates will continue to degenerate to their primitive state.
However, this is not a big deal, Lu Yao already had the idea of setting up a spirit gathering array in Dolphin Bay, anyway, when the fishing ground is contracted, in order to make the fish grow better, it is inseparable from the spirit gathering array.
Lu Yao planned to set up the Big Dipper Seven Star Array like the Seven Star Manor at home, using the star power of the Big Dipper to maintain the stable operation of the formation, and at the same time, it could also become an underwater tourist attraction.
Just imagine, burying seven huge pillars at the bottom of the sea will definitely attract the curiosity of many tourists, and even Lu Yao can even engrave the words "Dinghaishen Needle" on the outside when ordering those pillars.
Haha, thinking about Lu Yao makes me feel quite evil!
