Villager of Daming

Chapter 813 New Techniques for Pearl Fishing in Hepu

"Oh!" The manager didn't care about new technology at all. Anyway, Hanhan could always come up with different good methods.

"What are you using the coral for? I think the glass you made with many sides is pretty good. It looks like a rainbow when the light shines on it."

There is no coral at all in the village, which cannot be collected by the previous Xiaqiu Village. Corals have been valuable since the previous dynasties.

Corals are taken from the sea. Occasionally there are corals brought up by the tide on the shore. They are generally not big and even less beautiful.

In the past, Xiaqiu Village had no corals or salted fish in the sea. It was really poor.

"Take out bracelets and car beads, go to Liuqiu, or Ryukyu, anyway, no matter where you go, there are red corals. Didn't the Ming Dynasty send an envoy there!

Our vassal country, yes, sent Yang Zai there, so we happened to send a big ship to go around again, give them some things, and help them repair the dock.

Tropical plants can be grown there, and with the nearby Liuqiu Island, many local people have escaped from the war. "

Zhu Wentian said that fishing for corals turned into helping others build docks. Ryukyu is very important. There are a lot of islands suitable for military garrison.

There are currently three countries in the area, all of which are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. The names of the three countries are easy to remember: Beishan, Zhongshan, and Nanshan.

Chief: "..."

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

"Ryukyu Prefecture or Ryukyu Province doesn't sound good? The good place has not developed, so why don't we help? And that Liuqiu, we have already sent people there, take them all quickly, and go back to plant things."

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

Send troops over at the same time. Who will dare to snatch it in the future?Little Japan?oh!Japanese country?

The Japanese country thought that it had the help of divine wind to defeat the Yuan Dynasty, so why did it dare to complain to the Ming Dynasty?That divine wind is useless. The Yuan Dynasty did not understand ocean currents and monsoons.

"Is the king willing? Anyway, I wouldn't be willing." The chief shook his head.

"Take your time and plant things first. It's suitable for growing sugar cane there. It's so sweet. Fish for corals and go back to make nets. The water is too deep and you can't dive down there."

There are pearl divers in Hepu who specialize in fishing for pearls. The pearl divers there are powerful and you can equip them to go down to the deep sea.

Then... we made a special decompression chamber. We couldn't fly directly up, as it would kill people. To save time when we went down, we put it in the diving bell. "

Zhu Wentian thought of his good helpers, the pearl divers. They were powerful. They didn't wear anything and just pierced down, dozens of meters at a time.

If you bring equipment, which is a tin pipe connected to your mouth and nose, plus an inflated soft leather bag, you can reach a depth of four to five hundred feet.

When they were out of breath, they would pull on the rope, and the people above would pull them up. Once they were up, they would immediately wrap them in hot blankets, otherwise they would freeze to death.

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

This is what was recorded. In fact, they still had diving sickness and did not decompress at all. They went down to 60 to [-] meters in one go.

"We'll see if His Majesty comes tomorrow. If he comes, immediately tell the Hepu pearl divers to stop going into the water and wait until we prepare the tools.

Get a diving suit, flippers, lights, diving bell, and oxygen bottles, and see if they can pump air on the water surface.

You can wear more clothes under the diving suit, at least it won't be so cold. If you encounter a shark, get into the bell, go down a few at a time, and shoot arrows with a spring crossbow.

Get some nitrogen and mix it with oxygen. Helium is difficult to get. You can't take ammonia and decompose it into nitrogen, then use nitrogen and hydrogen to synthesize ammonia, and then recycle the helium, right?It can tire me to death.

Nitrogen is nitrogen!Although it is not as good as helium, at least it can be used. With oxygen, the pearl divers will not be so tired.

Medicinal pearls are being cultivated. It would be nice if they were cultivated. If they are not allowed to fish for pearls, their income will be reduced. "

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 collect pearls for the official.Hepu pearl divers fish for pearls all year round. Some people have short lifespans, but they have been able to adapt to changes in water pressure.

The simplest way is to exhale the air in your chest when you reach the normal diving decompression position when rising in the water, and then hold it for a while before reaching the surface.

Then by providing additional equipment and giving more money to the pearl divers, their safety will be improved and their income will increase.

The Ming Dynasty no longer needed to save money by exploiting and squeezing pearl divers, as it could earn money from foreign trade.

The director wrote down: "Let them collect blood coral?"

"We will talk about it later. Let the ships use trawl nets to catch corals first. Use our nets. We will make jewelry. We are rich people."

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

"Just break it into pieces! Use the broken ones for medicinal purposes. It is a medicinal material. You can watch it intact or make jewelry. The broken ones should be sent to the herbal medicine library."

"I know." The director couldn't remember the names of so many medicinal materials.

……

The next morning, the head of the village got up very early, drank water, and wrote a question book. He was afraid that His Majesty wouldn't come, so he asked the prince to deliver it to him.

Then he started to feel comfortable, his teeth were cleaned, he drank honey water, and he waited hungry for lunch.

He felt that he had no problem and wanted to eat big meat buns, which smelled so good.

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

After being shipped, they will be sent to the industrial zone together with other nuts, dried fruits, watermelon, cantaloupe, skin care products, and cosmetics. They mainly send cosmetics and other food. The craftsmen in the popcorn stick industrial zone can make the popcorn sticks themselves, including marshmallows.

At noon, the prince and his four other brothers arrived and sent someone to tell them that Malatang was eaten in the village, but the prince did not eat it in the mansion. There were not many people there and it was not lively enough.

Zhu Xiang and others already knew that there was no one on the second floor in front of the box lunch shop, and there was no laboratory in the back. They were not willing to eat the box lunch cooked by the apprentice.

"Your Highness, I have a question book." The headmaster took out the question book and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao received it and opened it to look at it: "Are there any good things again? There are some in the Blood Coral Palace. Can I use them?"

"Your Highness, I took it out of the village and wanted to put it in an aquarium to raise, but the ones in the palace can't be raised because all the coral polyps are dead." The chief shook his head, no.

There may be live coral polyps in the freshly caught fish, which can be kept forever. Corals of other colors can also be kept.

There are large glass fish tanks in the village, where they keep some ornamental fish and also keep marine fish ready for eating.

If you put an electric motor, there will be oxygen equipment, there is no shortage of lighting, and the fish food is puffed feed.

There is also a large pond with a lot of koi in it. When feeding, they run to the pond and wait with their mouths wide open. They also like to drink some wine and pour it into the water.

But don't give too much, as it will cause death if you're drunk, especially if you pour it directly into your mouth, it's definitely not okay.

"Can corals be raised? How about the village learn to raise animals, such as tigers and leopards? Let's take a look." Zhu Xi didn't know where the corals came from, and always thought they were minerals.

"His Royal Highness King Qin said about a zoo? There are iron-eating beasts in His Highness's fiefdom. They are black and white. They can be raised. The village should indeed have a zoo."

The village chief is tempted to build a zoo in the village to let the children see different animals, or choose a place and choose a day to open it to outsiders, so that everyone can learn together.
