The appearance of this deep-sea coral surprised Qin Shiou. This was completely unexpected!
At this moment, Qin Shiou felt how Billy felt when he suddenly saw the shallow coral jungle in his fishing ground. It was unbelievable because it was a bit contrary to common sense!
Deep-sea corals are very precious. They are distributed in a small area, take a long time to form, are non-replicable, and are difficult to harvest in the deep sea, so they are valuable.
Unlike shallow-sea corals, which have a large number in Australian waters and South Pacific waters, deep-sea corals are mainly distributed in three areas: the Mediterranean Sea, Hawaii and surrounding Midway Island waters, Taiwan waters and the southern islands of Japan.
These three areas are all areas with high incidence of volcanic earthquakes in the world. The volcanic activities on the nearby seafloor are frequent, and new submarine volcanoes often develop. As a result, the seawater contains a large amount of iron, manganese, magnesium and other macroelements, which provides an extremely good environment for the emergence of deep-sea corals. important material conditions.
In addition to these areas, there must be deep-sea corals in all major sea areas, but the number is very small and undiscoverable. There are three million shipwrecks in the world's oceans, and the number of deep-sea coral clusters must be less than 30,000, and they are all deep-sea. , so there's more to look for than a shipwreck.
The coral patch that appeared in front of Qin Shiou was very small, less than a thousand square meters. Corals vary in height and size. The ones in the center are more than two meters high, while those on the periphery are less than half a meter high.
In addition, in addition to the different heights, the colors of the corals are also different. They are snow white on the outside, pink slightly inside, and flame-like deep red in the middle.
This is normal. Deep-sea corals are mainly divided into five categories according to color, namely dark red coral, peach coral, pink coral, pink and white coral, and white coral. The more iron, manganese and magnesium elements absorbed, the darker the color of the coral. , the higher the value.
Being able to discover this piece of deep-sea coral in his own fishing ground, Qin Shiou is really grateful to his second grandfather for blessing him. If the shallow-sea coral can be said to have been introduced by his old man, then these deep-sea corals could never have been introduced by him.
Because deep-sea corals have the longest life cycle in the world, especially red corals, which have a life cycle of tens of millions of years, there is a saying in the jewelry market that "coral for thousands of years is red for thousands of years."
What does this sentence mean? It's very simple. It takes thousands of years to grow into a deep-sea coral, and it takes tens of thousands of years to absorb iron, manganese and magnesium elements to turn it red.
Even if Qin Shiou has the heart of the God of Poseidon, he cannot guarantee that he can form such a deep-sea coral in a few decades.
He cast his Poseidon consciousness over this deep-sea coral and could feel the weak but tenacious vitality, which proved that the vitality of this deep-sea coral forest was fine. It's normal to think about it. Deep-sea corals are said to be the most efficient organisms in the ocean, requiring only a very small amount of nutrients to meet their survival needs.
In order to protect this deep-sea coral forest, Qin Shiou quickly input Poseidon energy. As a result, he input Poseidon energy for a long time, but he was exhausted. This deep-sea coral forest still did not change, and even the vitality did not increase much.
This is the difference between deep sea corals and shallow sea corals. If so much Poseidon energy is input into a shallow sea coral polyp of this area, it is estimated that it can expand to half the area.
"However, Poseidon energy is definitely useful to these corals, at least it can speed up their reproduction. This is also a skill of deep-sea corals. Coral polyps can survive for thousands of years and still have the ability to reproduce.
From this point of view, the thousand-year-old king and the eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise will all stand aside.
The output of Poseidon energy was a bit too much, and Qin Shiou felt sleepy, so he withdrew his Poseidon consciousness and went to sleep. Finally, he took a longing look at the small coral jungle to make sure that he was not dreaming, and then he closed his eyes.
In the morning, Qin Shiou heard shouting outside. After waking up, he rubbed his eyes and walked out of the villa. As a result, the bull came towards him with red eyes and shouted excitedly: "Captain, what do you think I saw?!"
Qin Shiou thought of his excitement when he discovered red coral, and subconsciously asked: "Damn it, did you also discover that piece of deep-sea coral?"
The bull looked at him in shock and said: "Deep sea coral? What deep sea coral?"
Qin Shiou secretly cursed himself for being confused, and said haha: "It's nothing, I just said casually, what's wrong, what did you see so excited? Your eyes are all red, did you find gold?"
The bull chuckled and said: "No, my eyes are red because I worked the night shift all night. Come with me, captain, and let you see the magic of the sea!"
Following the bull curiously, Qin Shiou walked towards the seaside. Some distance away, he saw a magical scene:
I saw strips of silvery white on the beach at the seasideThe long spindle-shaped fish are twisting their bodies, and the rising sun shines on them, reflecting brilliant colors!
Qin Shiou looked around and saw that the entire coastline was full of such fish. Some fish had their tails stuck on the beach, and some fish were circling and jumping around, looking very happy.
After staying on the beach for a short time, these long silver fish would twist their bodies, struggle and jump back into the sea. It took about half an hour for Qin Shiou to watch, and then the long silver fish returned to the water, with only a few weak ones. , still struggling in vain on the beach.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Qin Shiou has been studying marine life around the world, and is naturally deeply impressed by this fish, which is native to North America.
The light-jawed silverfish lives in the offshore areas of North America. They are similar to capelin in that they also lay their eggs in the sand and rely on solar energy to hatch them.
Every year from March to August, you can see this kind of fish jumping to the beach to reproduce. The ones Qin Shiou saw earlier with their tails stuck in the sand were female fish. They were laying eggs and the ones jumping around were It is the male fish that fertilizes the eggs.
Unlike capelin, light-jawed cohos have super physical fitness. They don¡¯t need to rely on big waves to get to the beach. Every time they reproduce, their bodies will secrete a hormone that stimulates their vitality, allowing them to jump ashore on their own.
?????????????????? However, after hatching, the small light-jawed silverfish do not have the strength to jump into the water. They still have to rely on night tides and waves to return to the sea.
The light-jawed silverfish is a very interesting fish. They have the same innate ability as jellyfish. The jellyfish can predict the arrival of storms fifteen hours in advance, while the light-jawed silverfish can predict the tide ten days in advance.
This is a masterpiece of nature. The eggs of this fish rely on the sun to warm the sand and it takes about ten days to hatch, so they will take advantage of the ten days before the arrival of the tide to come to the shore to lay eggs. Ten days later, when the tide arrives, the young fish can return to the ocean.
However, what Qin Shiou didn¡¯t understand was, how could there be a tide in ten days?
According to his experience and weather forecast, only small tides are suitable for this time period, and small tides cannot wash up so far on the beach and cannot bring the small light-jawed silverback back to the sea (remember the website address of this site) £ºwww.hlnovel.com
