Golden Fishing Village

A helicopter carried two people to the south and flew to an island at the southernmost tip of the motherland.

This island has simple functions, with only an airport and a barracks on it. It is completely a military island.

After the helicopter landed, another officer came to receive them. This time, it was led by a colonel, but this colonel was the real boss on the island. His name was Su Li, about forty years old, with a square face tanned, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp eyes.

After shaking hands with Ao Muyang, Colonel Su said: "Welcome to our Dayang Island, comrades. All activities and actions on the island will be in my charge. We will have long-term contact in the future. If you have any questions, you can directly raise them."

Ao Muyang was stunned. He thought they were going to the Bonte area, at least to the Bonte waters, otherwise why did he rush to learn the Bonte language? As a result, they did not go abroad. It seemed that they had to perform tasks in domestic waters or at most in the border area. Why did they have to learn the Bonte language?

After landing on the island, Colonel Su still asked him to learn the Punt language, but not to learn new words, but to familiarize himself with the content learned in the previous three days. He himself was proficient in this language and would have brief exchanges with Ao Muyang from time to time.

Ao Muyang originally thought that he would start to perform tasks after arriving on the island, but the reality was also beyond his expectations. He stayed on the island temporarily. In addition to being proficient in the Punt language, there were not many things assigned to him.

Dayang Island has been building reefs. This is an island created by manpower. There are huge sand pumping ships on the sea. The mud and sand in the surrounding oceans are continuously pumped out and discharged around the island. This can not only expand the area of ​​the island, but also increase the depth of the ocean after emptying the mud and sand under the sea to create a dock.

When Ao Muyang saw that he had nothing to do, he became interested in this kind of reef-building activity. He couldn't stay in the barracks all day, so he might as well go to the sea.

He applied to Colonel Su and asked if he and Heilong could go to the sand pumping ship and the surrounding area of ​​the island.

Su Deying readily agreed to his request and provided him with two sets of diving suits, fully equipped, so that he and Heilong could go into the water at any time if necessary.

Not long ago, Ao Muyang used a sand pump, which he borrowed from the Coast Guard. Its power and efficiency were much stronger than civilian machines.

But compared with the machines used by the two sand pumping ships he saw now, the pressure pump he borrowed from the Coast Guard Detachment before was completely child's play.

Each of the two ships had a thick tubular nozzle extending out. The nozzle pipe was made of steel, like a gun barrel, with a diameter of at least one and a half meters, enough to accommodate a teenager walking inside.

Turbid muddy seawater sprayed out of the pipe, as if two yellow dragons flew up from the ship and fell into the water. The mud and sand piled up on the edge of the island, impacting and backlogging again and again, expanding the edge of the island outward.

Some officers and soldiers were busy working. There was a row of production lines along the coast of the island. The mud and sand sprayed on the shore were not directly used to make the island, and some of them would be transported to the production line.

After being pressed by the machine, the mud and sand finally turned into large mud and sand bricks. The bricks were all half a meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high cubes. Then they were stuffed into a cage that looked like a woven cage and dropped to the shore of the island together with the cage.

The sand pumping ship sprayed mud and sand at the cage, blocking every gap tightly.

In this process, it was inevitable that some fish, shrimps, crabs and conchs were extracted. These were the spoils of the soldiers. Everyone brought a box, bucket, etc., and they would collect them when they came across something suitable.

Fish, shrimps and crabs can move. Unless some of them are mixed in the mud and sand on the seabed and have no time to escape, they will not be pumped up. However, conchs are different. They move very slowly on the seabed. The suction of the pressure pump is very strong, and they will always suck them into the pipe and spray them out.

The soldiers harvested the most from these conchs. When Ao Muyang and the other two approached, although they did not know the two, they knew that those who could go to this island were all trustworthy comrades, so they greeted the two in a friendly manner.

The island is small, and there are not many soldiers on it. Usually, they only see a few familiar faces every day, which inevitably lacks novelty.

So when they found the two unfamiliar faces of Ao Muyang and Heilong, the soldiers' emotions became much more enthusiastic.

Ao Muyang squeezed his buttocks and walked over. The soldiers' enthusiastic eyes moved him but he didn't dare to move.

Seeing the two people coming, the squad leader blew the whistle. The soldiers cheered, put down their tools, shut down the production line, and then went to the shade to rest.

A young soldier asked Ao Muyang: "Hey, buddy, which team are you from?"

Since entering the naval base, the two have changed into military uniforms. Because of their skin color and training, their image looks similar to the soldiers on the island.

Ao Muyang smiled vaguely: "We came from Hongyang to do something. We should leave in a few days."

He learned the principle of confidentiality in Hongyang, so he was more careful in his words and deeds.

After hearing his words, the soldier immediately smiled and said, "Oh, squad leader, you are from the same hometown."

The middle-aged soldier who was drinking water turned his head and asked, "Hongyang?"

Ao Muyang shook hands with him subconsciously, and the middle-aged soldier grinned after noticing it.

His smile made Ao Muyang feel weird. It didn't seem like a polite smile, but a smile that saw through everything.

As a fellow villager, the old squad leader didn't say much. When a young soldier asked him what kind of army he was in, the old squad leader frowned and said, "You are so curious. Why didn't you study hard to go to college or graduate school when you were in school? Don't ask nonsense questions. You still have to work after a break."

Hearing him say this, Ao Muyang suddenly realized that the old squad leader saw that he was not a soldier. It should be because of the handshake he made earlier. This action is relatively rare in the military camp. Most people salute.

The old soldier was very friendly. He handed Ao Muyang some conchs and said, "We have a lot of conchs in Hongyang, but there are few such beautiful ones. Take a look. Do you like them? If you like them, take them back. We don't have other specialties here. As a fellow villager, I don't have anything else to show."

Ao Muyang was quite flattered and said, "Squad leader, you are too polite. These are all treasure conchs, good things."

Dayang Island is located in the tropical area. It is rich in marine resources, many of which produce snails and shellfish.

The old squad leader gave him conchs of different species. Their shells were smooth and shiny, coated with a layer of enamel, with rich patterns and colors, and they were very ornamental.

Compared with the nautilus he had been secretly raising, these conchs were of little value, but nautilus could not be eaten, but these conchs could be used as food.
