Golden Fishing Village

The surrounding villages have all started to build roads outwards. The distance between villages is only a few miles, so the projects can be compared.

The project in Longtou Village is progressing the fastest. People from other villages come to watch and see that the workers here are working vigorously, more attentively and carefully. The grass in the cracks of the rocks must be pulled out with the roots.

Don't underestimate such details. We all know that water drips through stones and that grass grows and rocks are lifted. If there is grass under the road that is not removed, the weeds will grow slowly and damage the roadbed.

Road construction is done during the day. The autumn heat is still very strong during the day, so Ao Muyang prepared mung bean soup and herbal tea for the workers.

Heart for heart, the workers originally came from Anzhou County. Longtou Village treated them so warmly that they naturally worked seriously and carefully.

At the same time, Li Ji installed a thermostat for the green turtle hatching nest, a small tool that can continuously generate heat after charging.

It is easy to find the nest where turtle eggs are hatched. As the eggs hatch, the sand above the nest will gradually collapse. As long as there is a small pit, there are turtle eggs underneath.

These nests vary in size, with a total of 25, but not so many female turtles lay eggs here. A female turtle will come ashore and lay 1 to 9 nests of eggs in a season, with an average of about 4 nests.

According to Li Ji's estimate, it won't be long before thousands of turtles hatch. There are at least dozens of turtle eggs in each nest, and there can be hundreds of eggs.

Despite the large number, the survival rate of turtles is actually very low. They are not taken care of by big turtles. The female turtles only take care of the birth but not the care. The turtle shells of turtles are soft in the first few days of hatching, and even crabs can eat them.

Li Ji told Ao Muyang that at most one out of every 1,000 turtles hatched can grow to maturity...

A special person was arranged to cooperate with Li Ji to hatch the turtles. Ao Muyang began to go out to sea to lead the team to fish. After all, he is the leader, and he will always be busy after the sea opens.

Although he is busy, he is much more relaxed than ordinary fishermen.

His task is to find catches, and the other work is done by the fishermen.

Every day after going out to sea, he would put up a parasol on the deck of the Big Dragon Head, prepare herbal tea and juice, and then sit on the chest with the general on the left and the head of state on the right, with Youfu sitting on his chest, the queen flying above his head, and the snake king coiling on the railing, quietly watching the fishermen in the village busy.

Ao Muyang is not greedy, and he can return with two nets full every day.

These quantities can be processed on the same day, most of them are sent to the dock market, the rest are sent to the village fishing home, and another small part is sold to tourists.

Now most families in Longtou Village are busy opening fishing home, and the boats don’t go out to sea very often, and there are not many harvests, so it is better to concentrate on serving tourists.

So, the Big Dragon Head came in handy.

Whether it is the stalls in the dock market or the fishing houses, the rule of selling whatever the fishing boats catch has been formed. With the intentional or unintentional publicity of the villagers, the seafood in Longtou Village has been advertised as "the freshest on the day of sale".

Unfortunately, the relaxing time is never long.

In mid-September, an unexpected visitor arrived, Wen Yirui, the diving expert that Ao Muyang met when he went to the South China Sea to help put shark nets.

He brought a white-haired old man to Ao Muyang and introduced him: "This is Professor Cao from the National Institute of Marine Geology, Captain Ao, I brought you a distinguished guest."

Ao Muyang shook hands with the old man enthusiastically: "Hello, Professor Cao, it's nice to meet you."

The old man's smile was not so enthusiastic, and he was even a little embarrassed: "Little brother, it's like this, it's not quite right for Xiao Wen to introduce me as a distinguished guest. I actually came to ask you for a favor."

Ao Muyang wondered, has his reputation as the timely rain and righteous black brother in Longtou Village spread? There are many people who ask him for help.

However, he respected these old intellectuals, and he could often learn something from them, so he shook hands with the old man and said, "You are too kind. Professor Cao, what can I do for you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Yirui.

This made Wen Yirui a little embarrassed. In his impression, Ao Muyang was a very cold person. Professor Cao's words seemed to have set him up, which made him a little nervous.

He didn't want Ao Muyang to misunderstand him, so he explained, "Professor Cao led a scientific expedition team to investigate the submarine geology off the Red Ocean. He needed a particularly outstanding diver to lead the team, so I thought of you."

Ao Muyang looked at him with a smile and said, "Then I have to thank Brother Wen for his concern."

Wen Yirui smiled and said, "You're welcome. Don't we hit it off at first sight?"

Later, he introduced the specific situation to Ao Muyang.

It's not wrong to say that he brought a distinguished guest, because the Marine Geological Bureau hired divers without hesitation, as long as they were capable.

The scientific research team still offered generous compensation for hiring divers this time, 10,000 yuan per day, and a total of three days of employment, which is 30,000 yuan in income.

The divers they hired did not need to help with much work, but were mainly responsible for the safety of the scientific expedition personnel, because the scientific expedition personnel had to go into the water to collect data in person.

Professor Cao initially hired Wen Yirui, but Wen Yirui felt that he was not capable enough, so he introduced Ao Muyang out.

Ao Muyang did not see this little money, but he thought it would be good if he could get in touch with Professor Cao. Professor Li Ji brought a lot of benefits to Longtou Village, and he tasted the sweetness of cooperating with old intellectuals.

Three days is not a long time, and Ao Muyang can soak in the sea for a long time to absorb water vapor, so he agreed and was willing to take charge of this matter.

The research team also hired Wen Yirui and asked Wen Yirui to be Ao Muyang's wingman.

On that day, Ao Muyang followed the team on a boat to the deep sea.

This time the diving is going to be deep diving, with a depth of at least 100 meters. Their project is to monitor the movement of the seabed crust. In the past two years, an abnormal warm current has appeared in the Hongyang Sea. After research, the Marine Geological Bureau believes that the appearance of this warm current is related to the seabed geothermal.

Professor Cao is an honest man. On the boat, he first introduced the dangers of this dive: "Xiao Ao, there may be cracks in the crust of the seabed we are going to dive into. This is very dangerous. It may occasionally erupt magma. As a vanguard, you must be careful."

Ao Muyang nodded: "That's no problem. It's better to be safe than sorry."

Professor Cao held up his glasses and said: "Yes, and the eruption of magma is not the most terrible thing. Because of the water pressure and water temperature, the magma will not erupt very high, and the speed will not be too fast. What you really need to pay attention to is the high-pressure gas column, which is a killer on the seabed!"

Ao Muyang was stunned: "There is also a high-pressure gas column?"

"High pressure and high temperature!" Professor Cao nodded emphatically.

Ao Muyang showed a half-smile to Wen Yirui again: Brother, you found me a good job.
