Chapter 189: Entering the Ocean for the First Time (Fourth Update)

"Boom!" There was a loud sound, and countless water splashed. Jiang Hai also opened his mouth in surprise and plunged into the sea water.

When he first entered the water, Jiang Hai was very scared and panicked, but then when he felt that he could breathe, he remembered that he was not afraid of water... I guess he hadn't done this for too long, so he There are also some who are confused.

Feeling that Jiang Hai was beside him, Dasha over there was happily swimming around Jiang Hai while biting beef.

"You turned around and made me wet all over." Looking at Dasha beside him, Jiang Hai patted him and said with a look of disgust.

Indeed, Jiang Hai himself is not afraid of water, and his physical fitness can also make him not afraid of the cold, but his clothes are not good, he is very wet, and he will have to ride a motorcycle back in a while. Thinking about the sour feeling, Well, it’s unbelievable.

After sensing Jiang Hai's emotions, Dasha, who was spinning very fast at first, stopped spinning. There are many sharks, like tuna, that rely on swimming to breathe, but the sand tiger shark is different. This kind of shark mostly lies on the sand or in caves during the day, and only comes out to hunt at night, so it can stop.

After this guy stopped, Jiang Hai also observed the Dasha he raised.

Unknowingly, this shark grew bigger and bigger. The sand tiger shark was already ugly.

Now it's getting more and more ugly. The big fangs sticking out of its mouth, and the body shape that far exceeds that of an ordinary sand tiger shark, all indicate that this guy can be regarded as the latest submersible overlord.

The average sand tiger shark is only three to three and a half meters long. But this sand tiger shark has been improved by Jiang Hai's blood, and here, it doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat. The body length has grown to more than four meters, and it seems to be still growing. If it continues to grow like this, it will surpass the great white shark in the sea. Jiang Hai does not know, but it should not be a problem to surpass the tiger shark.

The sunlight above sea level is very strong at this time. The illuminated offshore seabed was also clearly visible. Looking along the sunlight, Jiang Hai saw countless small seaweeds stuck on the sandy bed of the seafloor, swaying continuously as the water swam.

sea ​​water temperature. In fact, it is much higher than the temperature in the air, especially in winter.

You can tell by looking at the Ice City, where the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero and there are still people swimming in the winter.

If it is more than 20 degrees below zero and you run on the shore wearing small pants, you will freeze to death no matter how fast you run!

So after these seaweed seeds enter the seabed, they rely on the sediment on the seabed. Now it has gradually grown. Looking at it, it looks like a grassland has been created under the sea. Although the grassland still looks a bit ordinary now.

But this is always a good sign. At the same time, some small squids and octopuses, as well as some small shells, are also on the soft sand or soil. Constantly swimming, looking for food.

Although I am very curious about how full of life it is, to be honest, the current environment at the fishery is not very good.

Jiang Hai looked around and lost all interest, especially compared to the coral reefs on the other side of the fishery. The colorful coral reefs were indeed many times more powerful than the fishery, at least until these aquatic plants didn't grow up... …

Heck, even after he grows up, there is probably no comparison.

Compared to fishing grounds, coral reefs are really beautiful. Although this is Jiang Hai's second time entering the sea, the first time he entered the sea, he was scared away by a shark swimming in the distance. This time there were sharks around him. After getting a bodyguard and knowing that the sharks that were active near the coral reefs were not very aggressive, he was ready to give it a try.

"Follow me!" After patting Dasha's head, Jiang Hai took the lead and swam towards the coral reef in the distance.

When Dasha saw Jiang Hai's movements, he swam over immediately, looking around vigilantly while swimming.

Although Jiang Hai can ignore the water pressure and breathe underwater, he cannot swim like a fish. He can only swim like a human. Naturally, the speed cannot be fast. Jiang Hai can swim almost as long as the coral reef that looks very close. It took more than ten minutes to swim to the outside.

Speaking of corals, most people know about them, have seen them, and have some understanding of them. According to some knowledge channels, corals are actually made up of the corpses of coral polyps. This statement is both correct and incorrect.

Coral is indeed made up of the corpses of coral polyps, but it is not just corpses, but also living coral polyps.

This creature is a very strange creature. From the time of birth, the larvae of coral polyps are directly fixed on the piles of calcareous bones formed by the corpses of their predecessors, that is, other coral polyps. And the coral we see, It is actually a shell secreted by coral polyps, so it is indeed not an easy task to form such a thing.

A long time ago, humans had to rely on the sky for corals. This is why corals in ancient times were so expensive. However, in recent years, artificially cultivated corals have actually made great progress. achievements.

The main enemy of corals is polluted water sources. As long as the water sources are kept clean, the growth rate of corals is actually not slow.

In some pure waters of South America and Australia, many people have completed the preliminary cultivation of corals. In fact, they just get a few pieces of coral, then fix them on an iron net and place them where the ocean currents will pass. In this way, the corals are almost Every few weeks, or even months, it will grow a little, and when it grows to more than a year, it can be sold as a finished product.

It is precisely because of this that except for a few precious red corals, corals of other colors, especially white and gray, are very cheap.

After all, coral is a tropical thing. Although there are many in Jiang Hai's fishing grounds, there are obviously not too many treasures.

There is a large area of ​​coral, but almost none of it actually grows into a tree. Most of them are more than ten or twenty centimeters tall and grow on some reefs. Most of the corals are white, gray, black, and blue. , there are also some yellow, pink, and bright red ones. This is also the only valuable coral species, but the number is really small. Jiang Hai glanced at it and saw that there were only a dozen or so, and they were all relatively small, only ten. About centimeters, there is no value in mining.

Compared with corals, Jiang Hai didn't know much about things. He only knew that these corals were not picked casually.

The colors of corals are different, not only the prices are different, but the corals themselves are also different. For example, black and gray corals have very low hardness and cannot be mined. Compared with corals, the seamen who play on the coral reefs have different colors. Jiang Hai knows best about goods.

As soon as he swam over, Jiang Hai saw several sea snakes in the distance. However, these sea snakes did not dare to come and cause trouble for Jiang Hai. What they were afraid of was not Jiang Hai, but the sand tiger shark behind Jiang Hai. In recent days, , Dasha has become a tyrant here.

This area is his territory, but no fish or creature dares to make trouble in front of him.

Jiang Hai swam by with Dasha. Although it seemed a bit like a fox pretending to be a tiger, it really meant that all evil spirits were retreating.

Jiang Hai even looked at a huge moray eel. After seeing Dasha, he also took the initiative to retreat into the hole. This bodyguard was not hired in vain.

With bursts of waves, Jiang Hai swam to the top of these coral reefs. He looked down and saw that there were many sea cucumbers lying on the sand and rocks on the ground. The big ones were nearly twenty centimeters. Naturally, there are all kinds, long and small. In addition to these sea cucumbers, there are also many shellfish on the reef, including abalone the size of a fist.

Abalone is very valuable in China, but it is not very valuable abroad. For example, in Australia, there are many abalones in lakes in many parks. The sizes are not much different from these, but they are Don't let anyone catch you.

Of course, the locals are not too interested in this thing, but Jiang Hai is quite interested in these things.

Beside the abalone, there are also many large lobsters in the open space of the coral reef. The big ones of these Boston lobsters are even more than twice the size of the ones he has eaten in China. Maybe he felt Jiang Hai's Paying attention to it, these lobsters also stopped, raised their big pliers, and pointed them at Jiang Hai and Dasha. In addition to lobsters, abalones, sea cucumbers, shrimps on the bottom of the sea, and all kinds of fish. , there are countless here.

Countless clownfish were burrowing in and out of the sea anemones growing on the reef, and it was not easy to have fun. However, Jiang Hai did not dare to provoke these guys. Everyone knew that the creatures in the water should not be provoked. There are three types, sea snakes, jellyfish, and sea anemones.

Because these three things are poisonous, fortunately, Jiang Hai, as a fishery owner recently, has also learned a lot about the ocean and knows that some things cannot be touched casually, so as long as he can see them, he will Stay away from it.

The seabed is much more fun than the coast. Before he knew it, Jiang Hai also played in the coral reef under the water for more than an hour.

In more than an hour, he learned a lot that he couldn't learn from books or TV.

This is just the deepest sea area. If it dives to 100 meters or 200 meters, Jiang Hai doesn't know what it will be like.

Human beings are more afraid of the unknown when they are still weak, just like Jiang Hai. Originally, before he was about to upgrade to level three, he said he would never go into the sea, but now he unexpectedly fell into the water. It also made his mind gradually become more active.

Maybe when you reach level two, you can go into the sea!

Seeing that the sun was about to set in the west and had already dyed the sea with a touch of red, Jiang Hai also realized that it was time to leave at this time, but how could there be any reason to return empty-handed after entering Baoshan?

When catching fish, Jiang Hai couldn't swim as fast as the fish, so he gave up! But there was absolutely no reason for him to let go of those lobsters, sea cucumbers, and abalones. (To be continued.)

ps: Today’s fourth update, keep sending it! I wonder if there will be any recommendation news tomorrow...
