Chapter 469: Dense polyps
Time flies.
After the New Year, Xiaoshan Island began to be renovated.
There are three villas on the island, all covering an area of more than 200 square meters, all of which are modern villas.
The construction speed of the modern style villa is fast, and the decoration speed is also fast. If you want to build an antique building, the construction speed is too slow.
All three villas are in the direction facing the sea, reinforced concrete. The main part of these three villas alone cost more than 13 million. Because facing the sea, there may not be spring flowers...... Rather, it will definitely face a typhoon.
So the three villas are very material.
The villa is far away.
Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan live by themselves, one for Chen Xin, and one for Chen Hao.
Zhou Jianguo also wanted a villa on the island, and he is now also working for Coral Coast Co., Ltd. Chen Yuan gave him a 95-square-meter plot of land to build a single-storey modern style......
There is still a lot of building land on the island, and there were 31 single-family buildings that were previously declared. The maximum area is 289 square meters, and the minimum is 67 square meters.
Then there's a piece of hotel land.
The hotel covers an area of 13 acres, and the building covers an area of 2,695 square meters. During the actual construction, the actual floor area of the building can be slightly expanded.
The hotel has not been made yet, but the land is vouchered.
But the restaurant has already been built, on the other side of the marina. The restaurant has two floors, covering an area of 750 square meters, with two floors. This should be called a mall......
The mall is on the leeward side.
After the coral of the small lightning bolt grows, the first floor of the restaurant can be used as a supermarket and part as an outdoor goods store. The second floor is used as a restaurant......
A barrier reef has been created outside the hill island. Now around the hill island, the sea is calm.
When there are waves coming in, they pass through the atoll buffer, and then the waves that wash in are very small.
Unfortunately, there is no beach around the island. Either a cliff or a fringing reef......
After the New Year.
Chen Yuan was busy with everything, and he also concentrated on his work on Xiaoshan Island.
At present, Coral Coast Co., Ltd., Chen Yuan is the owner and general manager of the company.
Zhou Sheng, Deputy General Manager, is mainly responsible for ecology.
Chen Hao and Zhou Jianguo, after the completion of the construction of the preliminary project on Xiaoshan Island, they were in charge of the commercial part.
Zhou Jianguo came to work to pass the time, he was in charge of the island's reception work, and the shopping mall.
Chen Hao is responsible for the overall operation.
However, the current Xiaoshan Island is still very early to be put into operation.
……
After the New Year, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng came to the yacht dock, got the 7.1-meter annex boat on the X75 out, filled up the tank, and headed for Xiaoshan Island.
In February, there was a loss of heat in Hainan.
When the wind blows, it's quite comfortable.
"It's more tiring than work for the New Year." Zhou Sheng stretched his waist and said.
"I'm fine, I sleep at home every day. You guys ran out to round the island, didn't you? Chen Yuan asked.
"It's not funny. The scenic spots everywhere are full of people, densely packed. ”
"Hahaha......" Chen Yuan smiled: "Don't say that the scenic spot is full of people, during the Chinese New Year, there are many people living in our community." ”
There are not many people in their community during normal times, except for the security guards, there are few people in sight, and it is deserted.
Chen Yuan's mobile phone rang, and Chen Yuan drove the boat and reduced his speed: "Hey." ”
"Tridacnus contacted, how much do you want." Zhou Jianguo's call, he was at the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology.
"How many." Chen Yuan said.
"There are more clams here, and more than 400,000 clams can be sold. There are also more than a fist, about 20,000 of them. Zhou Jianguo said.
"It's all about it. Ask if you can take credit...... If you can't pay on credit, you can help me pay it first. ”
"Damn. I've never heard of an employee working for a boss and asking the employee to pay in advance. "Zhou Jianguo.
"Help. In the future, when those clams grow up, you can eat whatever you want. ”
"Hmm...... Let me ask...... Credit is available. However, the institute had to go to Xiaoshan Island to collect some live coral samples. Zhou Jianguo said.
"How many samples are taken?"
"With corals, no more than 10 kilograms in total."
"I told them that it was okay to come and collect corals, but I had to cultivate them. Some rare corals can only be collected a little ......," Chen said.
Liu agreed.
"Okay."
Chen Yuan sent back live corals from Fiji, and some samples were collected by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography. Even last year, the first corals to be sent back to China were sent here.
Chen Yuan sent back those live corals, the survival rate is very high, and they have bred once.
In another, they also observed that those polyps produced limestone very quickly. Limestone is coral stone......
The fast rate of limestone production means that the coral grows very quickly. On average, it grows one centimeter per month.
In this way, as long as the number of polyps is large enough, they can reproduce in large numbers...... If these polyps are cultivated in large quantities in Nansha, corals may be used to expand the island.
Many atolls and islands in the Pacific Ocean are mainly coral skeletons...... Limestone.
Weber said that coral reefs had a once-living material composition, so you can't see the constant growth.
However, with polyps, it takes a long, long time, millions, or even tens of millions of years under natural conditions.
But now, there are corals that grow at a particularly fast rate. And these polyps seem to reproduce very quickly. A polyp produces limestone with the thickness of two pieces of chalk in a year. So if it's 100 million polyps, a billion polyps...... And even more.
There are so many corals on the ocean floor that it only takes one wave to come and wash the limestone to the shore......
Come to Little Hill Island.
Zhou Sheng was a jellyfish on the boat and couldn't wait to jump in.
Chen Yuan also jumped down and dived to the bottom of the sea for more than 30 meters.
When he came to the bottom of the sea, Chen Yuan's scalp was a little numb.
Zhou Sheng is even more so......
The seafloor is densely packed with live, tube-packed polyps.
There is a large patch here, dense, impermeable, and the polyps are still swinging on their own, as if they are ingesting food.
Corals are marine invertebrates of the class Polyps of the phylum Cnidarians.
It is characterized by an endoskeleton or exoskeleton with calcareous, keratinous or leather. The term coral also refers to the skeleton of these animals, especially the calcareous ones. The body of a coral is made up of 2 germ layers: the outer cell layer is called ectoderm; The cell layer inside is called the endoderm. Between the inner and outer germ layers, there is a very thin mesocolloidal layer with no cellular structure.
Food enters through the mouth, food debris is excreted from the mouth, and these animals have no head and trunk, no nerve center, only a diffuse nervous system. When stimulated by the outside world, the entire animal body reacts. The lifestyle is free-floating or sessile to a bottom-based habitat.
Densely packed with polyps, the seabed water is now exceptionally clear. Chen Yuan felt that something was wrong with the state of these polyps, as if they were particularly hungry......
Chen Yuan made a barrier reef belt for Xiaoshan Island, as if it was not done well, leaving only a water outlet, and it was on the leeward side facing the land.
