Get home and put your luggage.

Chen Yuan stretched his waist vigorously, and he could finally rest well.

Yan Xiaoxi was downstairs helping to make the sheets.

"Are the sheets made?" Chen Yuan came down and said.

"It's going to be laid right away."

"I'll go down there and see if the meat in the fridge is still edible."

"Go ahead."

It has been less than a month since Chen Yuan went back, and the house has been connected to electricity, and there is still uneaten beef in the refrigerator. Frozen into ice, not broken.

In the utility room, Chen Yuan charged the lithium battery, went to the dock, and drove a small annex boat to the rock wall on the left side of the dock.

There are coral reefs on the seabed below the rock face.

Chen Yuan tied the annex boat to the branch hanging from the rock wall, took off his clothes and pants, and jumped down.

The water here is seven or eight meters deep, and there is a cluster of small corals, and Chen Yuan has nourished the polyps here with his aura before.

The reef seems to be larger, but not noticeable.

In the popular sense, corals grow very slowly.

Coral, something made up of calcareous bones secreted by polyps, shaped like branches, is mostly red, but also white or black. Coral reefs are structures formed by the bones of polyps made up of thousands of calcium carbonates over hundreds to tens of thousands of years of growth.

Corals grow very slowly, and most corals grow less than 1 cm per year. The fastest growing coral is the staghorn coral, which only grows about 5 to 10 centimeters per year. Large coral reefs often take thousands or even hundreds of millions of years to grow.

But with human intervention, corals can grow faster. I thought about building an island with polyps in my childhood, but failed.

There are many small atolls in the Pacific Ocean, which are actually formed by coral reefs.

……

There are very few live polyps around White Sands Island.

But there are a lot of coral reefs that don't have live polyps attached to them.

Chen Yuan took a closer look at the cluster of living coral reefs, and was about to leave, when he saw that the surrounding coral rocks were attached to small polyps......

Coral is a living thing.

How to say it.

Corals are called building block organisms and are made up of many individuals.

To put it simply, corals can be simply thought of as beehives, where polyps build nests together, and each nest houses one polyp.

The coral itself is inanimate, and the living ones are the polyps.

Just like bees, bees build nests. Polyps build corals......

Without a coral polyp, there is no life, and it will not grow again, it is called coral stone.

There are many lifeless and strange-shaped coral rocks on the bottom of the sea, and Chen Yuan swam around and found that there are many coral stones attached to the polyps.

Before returning to Japan, there seemed to be no polyps on the coral rocks here.

This discovery shocked Chen Yuan's spirit. With a thought in his mind, he took out the spirit bead and drew out one-third of the spiritual energy for the polyps here to absorb.

Back in the annex boat, Chen Yuan put on his clothes and went ashore.

"Where have you been?" Yan Xiaoxi was in the living room and asked when she saw Chen Yuan coming in.

"I went outside to see the polyps. Before returning home, I found that the corals outside had laid eggs, and the polyps had hatched. Chen Yuandao.

"There's live coral out there?"

"There's one piece, not much. I went upstairs to take a shower and then went to the restaurant for dinner. ”

"Hurry up, I'm hungry."

"Soon." Chen Yuan trotted upstairs, just took a simple shower, and then changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Drive the tender to the restaurant on the back side of Island 2. There is a large stretch of white sand......

Island No. 2 is very close to Island No. 3, and when you pass by the beach, if it is low tide, the nearest place is only about 30 meters. There is pure white sand on both sides, and a waterway in the middle with crystal clear water and pure white sand underneath. The sand is also coral rocks, white corals......

Chen Yuan drove a small boat close to the wooden bridge pier, which is very shallow, especially at low tide, most of which is exposed to the water.

There are restaurants on every island.

It's an open restaurant, just a short distance from the marina. The dining room is a large thatched-roof building, and several people are seated in the dining room.

Yan Xiaoxi trotted over: "You guys are not seasick?" ”

"My head is still dizzy." Yan Xiaomei said: "It's uncomfortable, I still have to eat." ”

"What's interesting on the island, take us to play tomorrow." Qian Pengyu said.

"Jet skis, sailboats. However, for these projects, you have to learn to dive first, and you have to sign up for a study class to drive a jet ski and sailboat...... "Chen Yuandao.

"How long?"

"Diving course, two or three hours. If you want to sail, you can learn how to dive a cabin for a few more hours...... It's simple. Chen Yuan said.

"Fulong, do you want to learn to dive?"

"Of course. It would be a shame not to go diving. ”

"Xiaoxi, you have a diving certificate, right?" Xu Jiao looked at Yan Xiaoxi and asked.

"Yes." Yan Xiaoxi nodded: "There is an internationally recognized diving certificate, so you don't have to study alone when you come here." ”

"Where are you going to play in the afternoon?" He Huan asked.

"Let's play to each other. If you want to learn to dive, you can also learn to play on a jet ski. Chen Yuan said.

"After learning a jet ski, can you drive a jet ski out by yourself?" Qian Pengyu asked.

Chen Yuan nodded: "But it can only be in the designated sea area." Or if you have an activity at the resort, you can ride a jet ski around the atoll. ”

"How much does a jet ski cost?"

"I don't know." Chen Yuan said.

"Door-class jet ski, 100 Fijian dollars per hour. 155 jet skis, FJD $160 per hour. 260 jet skis, 300 Fijian dollars. Yan Xiaoxi said.

"Can you rent it for half a day?"

"The day is also measured by the hour."

It's really cheap for the price.

For example, in Sanya, if you go out for a walk on a motorboat, it is estimated that it will cost more than 100 yuan for a few minutes or ten minutes.

"Dive lessons, what time does it start?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to learn how to dive, you'll have to hurry over after eating. ”

"Okay."

Accommodation on the island is really not expensive for an island resort of its class in Fiji. However, the food here is expensive, especially the vegetables.

Fish, lobster, these are quite cheap.

For normal consumption, lunch and dinner, thirty or fifty Fijian dollars is not bad. If you eat lobster, you will spend seventy or eighty Fijian dollars per person.

"I want to learn to dive too." Xiaoxi's mother said, "Do you want to bring a swimsuit?" ”

"There's one for sale at the hotel, and there's a locker room for that." Chen Yuandao: "If you don't bring a swimsuit, just buy a set in the past." ”

"That's fine."

Eaten. Chen Yuan was about to go to the checkout, Yan Xiaomei came over with the recharge card and swiped: "I'm in for a treat." ”

Chen Yuan drove the annex boat and pulled it over as soon as the boat was launched.

Today's diving instructor Chen Yuan, who I don't know, is a white man who can speak Mandarin and is already starting to teach theory.

"Hello, let's learn to dive." Chen Yuandao.

"I'm sorry. Today's course has already started, and you will have to come back tomorrow to learn the diving course. Or apply for private lessons. Jerry said politely.

There was also a white woman with Jerry, who knew Chen Yuan: "Hello, Mr. Chen Yuan. How many of you learn to dive? ”

"Six."

Jennifer said, "Please rest for a while, and after Jerry explains the theory lesson, I will teach you individually." Let's go to register our names and pick up our diving equipment. ”

There were more than a dozen people in the pavilion, all of whom looked at Chen Yuan and them.

Jerry also glanced at Jennifer suspiciously.
