    "What? Acidification? Are you kidding me? The whole sea is salty, how can it be sour!"

    ??As soon as Lin Guo opened his mouth, he knew it was his father-in-law.

    Although Li Laoba, Hou Minghao and He Fan on the side could not understand the specific meaning of the technical term "seawater acidification", one thing was certain, it was definitely not what Lin Guo, an illiterate, meant.

    When He Fan heard this, he realized that these college students had put in a lot of effort and came to this conclusion, which was definitely not nonsense.

    And looking at the serious looks on the faces of these college students, I knew that the acidification of sea water was definitely not a good thing, so I quickly asked:

    "Is it serious? What caused it? Is there any way to solve it?"

    Hearing He Fan¡¯s inquiry, the leading college student also said slowly:

    "Senior, seawater acidification is a very serious problem currently faced by sea areas all over the world. The ocean absorbs excessive carbon dioxide released from the atmosphere, causing the overall pH value of the ocean to have dropped by 0.1 since the industrial revolution!"

    Lin Guo, an illiterate person on the side, also muttered after listening:

    ¡°What¡¯s carbon dioxide? It¡¯s from the Industrial Revolution. It makes people¡¯s heads hurt!¡±

    He Fan roughly understands what ocean acidification means. Ocean acidification does not mean that sea water has become acidic, but that the overall pH value has changed!

    Even He Fan, who did not major in chemistry in college, knows that even though 0.1 is a small value, in such a huge ocean, a drop of 0.1 in pH is already a huge change!

    Moreover, the main cause of ocean acidification is basically caused by excessive carbon dioxide emissions from industry, which is basically irreversible!

    Later, these college students also talked about the dangers of seawater acidification:

    "Senior, the coral reefs you see underwater have turned gray and white, which is a typical manifestation of ocean acidification. The main component of coral reefs is calcium carbonate, but it will be eroded by the carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, and it becomes like this  It seems that the ecosystem on the eroded coral reefs has been basically destroyed!"

    As soon as He Fan heard this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

    Coral reefs are one of the most important components of the ecological chain in your own fishery.

    There are countless microorganisms and small marine creatures living in those coral reefs. These guys are the foundation of the ecological chain of their own fishing grounds.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The acidification of the ocean is irreversible, which means it will continue. If by then, all the coral reefs in your fishing grounds are destroyed, it will be the end!

    "No wonder, I didn't notice anything went wrong when I used the Dragon Eyes!"

    ??The dragon pupil can at most see changes in the fishery's intelligence, but now the fishery's intelligence has not changed. Naturally, even the dragon's pupil cannot see the invisible changes in the pH value.

    Also, He Fan knew that the hard shells on the backs of shellfish are all built by absorbing calcium carbonate from the ocean. If the ocean becomes acidic, the hardness of the shells of these shellfish will be greatly reduced.

    ??It¡¯s like a building that cuts corners, can you expect it to be of high quality?

    "No wonder, the back shells of those giant snail seedlings have been developed for so long and are still so fragile!"

    Furthermore, He Fan took advantage of the break in talking to use his spiritual consciousness to search his fishing ground and found many shellfish creatures in the developmental stage.

    It was also discovered that the shells of these shellfish creatures were all similar to those of giant snails, with no hardness at all.

    Without a hard enough shell, all the shellfish species in Hefan Fishing Ground will basically face extinction.

    Any predator can easily prey on them.

    It is foreseeable that the number of shellfish in your own fishery, including those giant snails, will decrease sharply!

    In the ecological chain, the sudden extinction of one organism will have a huge impact on the entire ecological chain, not to mention the sharp decrease in the number of this large group of organisms.

    Coupled with the collapse of the coral reef ecosystem, even if his own fishery has sufficient resources, it may not be able to withstand such a big change. He Fan is a little frightened when he thinks about the consequences.

    So now, He Fan immediately thought of solving the problem of seawater acidification as soon as possible!

    He also said directly:

      "Just tell me what solution you have!"

    Hearing this, the students also had troubled expressions on their faces:

    "The acidification of seawater is a difficult problem to solve all over the world, and there is currently no good solution!"

    He Fan was startled for a moment, then nodded.

    You can¡¯t be too demanding on yourself. After all, these are just college students who have just graduated from school. It¡¯s good enough to be able to help you troubleshoot the problem.

    Seawater acidification is a problem that many experts and scholars have no solution for. I asked them to help me find a solution, but it was a bit embarrassing for others!

    But then, He Fan felt a strong urge in his heart.

    Damn it, is it possible that you just watch the fishery you worked so hard to build disappear step by step?

    Moreover, He Fan also had doubts.

    Although ocean acidification is irreversible, it has not yet reached the point where it can significantly affect the marine ecology. Why is it that in our own fishing grounds, coral reefs and shellfish have weak shells?

    At this time, Brother Yong stood up and said to He Fan:

    "Boss, I just listened to what these talented people said, and I finally understand a little bit. Is the ocean acidification caused by industrial pollution? Recently, several large chemical plants have been opened nearby. Do you think this will happen?  Does it have anything to do with this?"

    When He Fan heard this, he immediately gave Brother Yong a thumbs up.

    "As expected of a soldier, he has a good brain.

    "However, I haven't heard much about this large chemical plant.

    The ship boss on the side also said at this time:

    "We have opened several chemical plants. I heard that they were all brought in through investment promotion in the city. They invested a lot of money!"

    Generally, large chemical plants have formal discharge procedures and decontamination equipment, but such serious seawater acidification occurred in their own fishing grounds for no reason, which made He Fan have to be cautious!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go check out the situation when we get back!¡±

    Afterwards, the Storm returned.

    After everyone left, He Fan followed the guidance of the ship boss and Brother Yong and arrived around the newly built large chemical plants along the Yangcheng coast.

    After walking around the perimeter of these chemical plants for several times, He Fan didn't find any clues.

    No random emissions were found.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
