Chapter 815: A New Technique for Hepu Pearling

"Oh!" Li Chang didn't care about new technology at all, anyway, Han Han could always come up with different good methods.

"What are corals for? I think the glass you made is pretty good on all sides, and it looks like a rainbow when it shines on it. ”

There is no coral at all, it is not something that can be collected by the previous Xiaqiu Village, and from the previous dynasties, the coral is valuable.

Corals are fished from the sea, and occasionally there are corals brought up by the tide on the shore, which are generally not large, and even fewer are beautiful.

In the past, Xiaqiu Village did not say that the corals in the sea and the salted fish in the sea were also woody, and they were really poor.

"Dig out the bracelets, the car beads, the flow, or the Ryukyus, anyway, no matter which flow, there is red coral, didn't we send a messenger to the Ming Dynasty!

Our vassal state, yes, sent Yang Zai there, we just sent a big ship to wander around again, send them something, and help them repair the dock.

Tropical plants can be planted there, and there are many people who have fled the war in the vicinity of Liuqiu Island. ”

Zhu Wentian said that the matter of fishing for coral became to help others build docks, Ryukyu is very important, there are a lot of islands, suitable for the army to be stationed.

At present, there are three countries in the local area, all of which are subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, and the names of the three countries are easy to remember, Beishan, Zhongshan, and Nanshan.

Lieutenant: "......"

"Hanhan, you want to occupy it?" He didn't believe that Han Han was so kind.

"Ryukyu Prefecture or Ryukyu Province doesn't sound good? If a good place hasn't developed, why don't we help? and that liuqiu, they have already sent people, hurry up and take them all down, and go back to planting things. ”

Zhu Wentian calmly admitted, yes, he just wanted to really get the Ming Dynasty, instead of always existing as a vassal state.

At the same time, send troops over, who will dare to rob it in the future? Little Japan? Oh! Wa Kingdom?

The Wa Kingdom thought that it had the help of the kamikaze to defeat the Yuan Dynasty, so it dared to talk to the Ming Dynasty? That kamikaze is useless, the Yuan Dynasty does not understand ocean currents and monsoons.

"Is the king willing? I don't want to change it anyway. The lieutenant shook his head.

"Take your time, go and plant something first, it's good for growing sugar cane, it's sweet. Fishing for corals, going back to make nets, the water is too deep to dive.

There are pearl divers who specialize in pearl fishing, Hepu, where the pearl divers are very powerful, you can equip them and let them go down to the deep sea.

And then...... Specially get a decompression chamber, you can't fly up directly, it will kill people, and when you go down, in order to save time, put it in the diving bell. ”

Zhu Wentian thought of a good helper, the pearl divers, they were amazing, they didn't wear anything, they went straight down, dozens of meters at a time.

If you bring equipment, it is a tube made of tin, connected to the mouth and nose, and with an inflated soft skin bag, it can reach a depth of four or five hundred feet.

When the gas is not enough, they pull the rope, and the people above pull them up, and as soon as they go up, they immediately wrap them in a hot blanket, otherwise they will freeze to death.

There are also man-eating fish below, with the most sharks.

This is the content of the record, in fact, they still have diving sickness and did not say anything, there is no decompression process at all, and they go to 150 or 60 meters at a time.

"Tomorrow, see if Your Majesty comes, if you come, immediately let the pearl divers in Hepu not go into the water first, wait, wait for us to make the tools."

Get wetsuits and fins, lights, diving bells, oxygen cylinders, and pressure air on the surface of the water to see if it works.

You can wear more clothes in your wetsuit, at least not so cold, and if you encounter a shark, you can get into the bell, go down a few more at a time, and shoot arrows with a spring crossbow.

If you mix some nitrogen with oxygen, helium is not easy to get, you can't take ammonia to decompose nitrogen, and then use nitrogen and hydrogen to synthesize ammonia, and then recover helium, right? It can exhaust me.

Nitrogen is nitrogen! Although it is not as good as helium, at least it can be, and with the addition of oxygen, the pearl diver is not so tired.

Medicinal pearls are being raised, and it would be good to raise them, and if they are not allowed to dive pearls, their income will be reduced again. ”

Zhu Wentian considered a series of issues, in fact, the Ming Dynasty in history did not allow pearl divers to go down privately, and could only be collected by the official.

Hepu pearl divers harvest pearls all year round, and some have a short lifespan, but they have been able to adapt to changes in water pressure.

The easiest way to do this is to exhale the breath in your chest the moment you reach the normal dive decompression position when you ascend in the water, and then endure it and go to the surface.

Then provide additional equipment, and give more money to the pearl divers, and they will be safer and their income will increase.

The Ming Dynasty no longer needed to save money by exploiting and squeezing pearl divers, and foreign trade could be earned.

The lieutenant made a note of it: "Let them go and collect blood corals?" ”

"Later, let's let the boats use trawl nets to catch corals, use our nets, let's make jewelry, we are rich people."

"If the trawl is hung, the coral is guaranteed to be broken."

"Broken is broken! The broken ones are used for medicinal purposes, it is a medicinal material, complete ornamental or made of jewelry, and the broken ones are sent to the crude medicine storehouse. ”

"Got it." The chief can't remember the names of so many medicinal herbs.

……

The next morning, the lieutenant got up very early, then drank water and wrote a notebook, he was afraid that His Majesty would not come, so he asked the prince to send it.

Then he began to rattle and feel comfortable, and was washed again, drank honey water, and waited hungry for lunch.

He felt that he was fine, and he wanted to eat big meat buns and smell so good.

Zhu Wentian and others went to the laboratory to be busy again, and the villagers made popcorn sticks, sorghum rice, millet, and rice.

It was loaded on the ship and sent to the industrial zone along with other nuts, dried fruits, watermelons, melons, skin care products, and cosmetics, mainly cosmetics and other food, which the craftsmen of the popcorn stick industrial zone could make themselves, including marshmallows.

At noon, the prince and his four younger brothers arrived and sent someone to tell them that the village eats spicy hot, and the prince will not eat in the house, and the people are few and lively enough.

Zhu Fan and the others already knew that there was no one on the second floor in front of the box restaurant, and there was no laboratory in the back, and they were not willing to eat the box lunch fried by the apprentice.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have an inscription." The lieutenant took out the question book and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it and opened it to see: "There are good things again?" There is it in the Blood Coral Palace, take it and use it? ”

"Your Highness, I fished out the village and wanted to put it in the aquarium to raise it, but the palace couldn't raise it, and the polyps were all dead." The lieutenant shook his head, don't.

There may be live polyps in the freshly fished ones, so they can be kept all the time, as well as corals of other colors.

There are large glass fish tanks in the village, where some ornamental fish are raised, and marine fish are also raised ready to eat.

Put a motor to have oxygen equipment, there is no shortage of lighting, and fish food is puffed feed.

In addition, there is a large pond, in which there are a lot of koi carp, when they are fed, they run to the edge of the pool and open their mouths wide to wait, and get a little wine and pour water, they also love to drink.

But you can't give too much, you'll hang up when you're drunk, especially if you pour it directly into your mouth.

"Can you still keep corals? Otherwise, the village will learn to raise animals, tigers, and leopards, so let's take a look. "Zhu Fan didn't know where coral came from, and always thought it was a mineral.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said zoo? His Royal Highness's fief has iron-eating beasts, black and white, but they can be raised, and the village should indeed have a zoo. ”

The mayor was tempted, and a zoo was built in the village for the children to see different animals, or to choose a place to open it to outsiders on a day so that everyone could learn together.
