The coral reefs of the South China Sea are the most abundant and widely distributed areas of coral species in China, and there is a very important building in the coastal area - the National Institute of Oceanography.

The people who have been in the sea for nearly half a month came here by boat at this moment and walked into the gate under the guidance of professionals.

This time, they mainly visited the coral cultivation base, and the first thing they came to was the coral reef ecological simulation laboratory.

There are more than 7,000 known species of corals worldwide, often including soft corals, gorgonians, red corals, stony corals, horned corals, sea anemones, etc.

There are more than 80 precious coral species in the laboratory, ranging from flexible and colorful to colorful.

"There are so many types of corals. It's beautiful. Tang Qinqin felt like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for a while, there were too many beautiful scenery, and her eyes were not enough.

In the transparent glass tank, clownfish swim leisurely beside all kinds of corals, which is very comfortable.

"It's quite happy to be a fish." Lan Lan couldn't help but say something sour.

"Maybe this is the salted fish we all yearn for." Tang Qinqin said with a smile.

"Haha~" Yang Qing accidentally heard it, covered her mouth and squinted with a smile.

If you can live in such a beautiful and dreamy place, you can open your eyes every day and become a fish.

"We do coral cultivation for research and to protect them. You've all heard of coral reef degradation, right? "Coral reefs are dying out at a very rapid rate due to air pollution, sea pollution, climate warming, human activities, etc., and global warming has led to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and when it reaches a certain value, it will lead to acidification of seawater," said the person in charge of the base. We all know that coral shells are calcareous, and once the water is acidified, it quickly dissolves their protective shells, at which point coral reefs can only go extinct. ”

"There is also the problem of coral bleaching, which also has a lot to do with global warming, and is also affected by turbidity, low light transmittance, viruses, etc., resulting in a large number of micro-seaweeds living in it, making the coral fade and white, which is actually a kind of degradation, which will seriously affect the marine species that depend on the coral reef for symbiosis, and have a serious impact on the marine ecology and property."

"Research has confirmed that the sunscreen we use every day can also affect and even cause coral reef bleaching. Therefore, I hope that in the future, everyone will try not to wear sunscreen when they go to the sea, and work together to protect our endangered and precious coral groups. ”

"It's a shame that we don't like to smear, or how many sea creatures will be harmed before." Lan Lan was scared for a while.

"In addition to being an important ecological part of the seabed, coral can also be used as ornaments, and it is also a precious medicinal material, which has the effect of calming the nerves, stopping bleeding and brightening the purpose."

"Some researchers believe that coral reefs are the cradle of marine life and the foundation for ensuring the survival of marine life."

"So can we transplant the coral seedlings we have cultivated directly into the sea?" Bei Qiao raised his hand and asked.

"Of course, but we will make preparations beforehand, choose a suitable area in advance, drive piles and install supports, put artificial reefs, cement piles, etc., to provide habitat for the growth of corals."

As he spoke, the person in charge showed everyone the flat panel display in his hand: "We have professional marine researchers and coral cultivators, who normally go underwater every day to check the growth of cultivated corals and carry out seabed afforestation projects." ”

Seabed afforestation is actually the process of cultivating and transplanting corals on the seabed.

"It's a wow-job." The players are star-eyed and envious of their real names.

"You don't have a shortage of part-time workers." Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Because coral cultivation is such a very important job, we usually recruit people with professional experience, and they also need to be able to dive. I haven't considered a part-time job yet, but the cause of protecting coral reefs really needs everyone to get involved. ”

"Let's try it when we have a chance in the future." Tang Qinqin whispered in Mengru and Lan Lan's ears.

Such a romantic and meaningful work, how healing and energetic it is every day!

Visiting the entire coral cultivation base, everyone was still unsatisfied.

After enjoying a wonderful visual feast, I feel that the aesthetics of the whole person have been raised to a higher level.

Tang Qinqin held a notebook and asked the staff about how to cultivate corals, and she wanted to try to learn how to cultivate corals by herself.

It is beautiful, has medicinal value, and is of great significance to the ecology, such a cute big baby, she doesn't want it to withdraw from the stage of history one day.

Although growing herbs is not the same as raising coral, corals are animals, and their growth environment is also different, but everything is the same, remember the main points, explore diligently, and believe that you can also be.

……

As the person in charge of the Institute of Oceanography said, artificial reefs are suitable for corals and other marine creatures to reproduce and inhabit, and boulders and shipwrecks on the seabed are also secret paradises for marine creatures.

Speaking of shipwrecks, I have to mention that in the ancient era of navigation in our country, people initially explored the unknown sea, began to trade with the surrounding countries, navigation technology is not very mature, and in the process of gradual exploration and progress, many ships sank due to the irresistible wind and waves at sea.

Along with the sea, there are many precious treasures, such as all kinds of porcelain and bronze ware, which reached the peak of prosperity at that time.

Some treasures are buried deep underground with time or the movement of the crust under the seabed, and some treasures can still vaguely see the appearance of the time, lying quietly on the bottom of the sea, just waiting for someone to find it, and tell him the story of that time.

Someone once found a Bodhisattva statue at the bottom of the sea, sitting firmly on a reef, and spent many unknown times silently with a soft expression on his eyebrows.

In addition to shipwrecks, there are also ruins that have been submerged by the sea.

Affected by the movement of the earth's crust and the diversion of lakes and rivers, many towns where humans have lived since ancient times have been hidden deep underwater.

This time, the player's mission is to find the lost treasure at the bottom of the sea.

The rules of the game are harsh, but understandable: "Don't damage the marine environment and disturb marine life as little as possible." At the same time, protect the cultural relics on the seabed. ”

This actually invisibly increases the difficulty of the game for players.

The seabed is no more complex than on land, and there are many variables and dangers. On this basis, the "harmless" discovery of treasures is probably like asking players to have the difficulty of shelling raw eggs without destroying the shell membrane.

What's more, there are thousands of shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, which one has treasures, excavation and adventure value, which one does not, and whether there are any inhabited marine creatures on the shipwreck, no one knows, so they can only explore it with their own eyes.

The game only dumps the players on a map and marks the approximate location, and the rest is up to the players to collectively burn their brains.
