Chapter 361 Seaweed King
It was almost the end of April.
The construction in the old town was proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the watershed between Crescent Bay and the dock, the Liang family's construction team also entered the site one after another.
The news that Ye Sihai was going to build a gravity dam had spread, and naturally caused a sensation.
But his mind was not on these things at all.
"Boss, is this broken thing so expensive?"
Qin Yuan and Chen Youtian were following Ye Sihai's instructions, driving a speedboat around the outer periphery of Crescent Bay, carefully sprinkling a seed they didn't recognize into the water.
It was a yellow-brown, granular substance similar to sorghum.
This was the seed of the Seaweed King that Ye Sihai had spent a lot of effort to get.
The so-called Seaweed King is a kind of giant algae.
There are many types of seaweed, and a considerable part of them are single-cell organisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
These algae, in some sea areas, are terrifying in number.
Among marine plants, algae account for four-fifths.
It is because of these algae that the ocean has endless vitality.
These algae are equivalent to the granary of the ocean.
Or the kind that you can never finish eating.
Algae can continuously produce various organic matter through photosynthesis.
And these organic matter have become the original food for marine animals.
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat seaweed.
And the seaweed king that Ye Sihai got this time is not an ordinary seaweed.
This kind of seaweed does not exist in the entire Asian sea area.
It cannot be introduced.
This giant algae called seaweed king can grow one meter a day at the fastest, and it is no problem to grow a hundred meters a year.
Moreover, the trunk of this huge seaweed can grow thicker than a person.
And this seaweed king is an extremely important raw material in the fields of chemical industry, energy, and medicine.
Many countries simply prohibit its export.
Seaweed king also has another function, which is isolation, which can greatly reduce the impact of waves.
It is the same principle as the windbreak and anti-sand forest on land.
Ye Sihai wants to spread a circle of seaweed king seeds on the periphery of Crescent Bay.
This will not only filter the seawater and reduce wind and waves, but also prevent various large and ferocious fish from entering Crescent Bay.
Once the seaweed king grows to a certain size, Gray Lord will be trapped to death if he goes in.
Of course, this requires a wide enough scale.
The seeds that Ye Sihai got were purchased at a price of one million US dollars per kilogram.
Qin Yuan and Chen Youtian were really shocked when they heard that the seeds they spread cost one million US dollars per kilogram.
In fact, it is not that expensive, but it is mainly a prohibited item that is prohibited from export. If Ye Sihai wants to get it, he must spend money.
Of course, when these seaweed kings grow up, he will not allow others to harvest and steal them.
It's all money.
"Uncle Qin, this thing is a treasure."
Ye Sihai gave Qin Yuan and Chen Youtian a popular science.
The two of them couldn't close their mouths.
"Then why do we still raise fish? Why not just rent a piece of sea and raise this seaweed?"
"Yes, it's so expensive, much more valuable than any precious seafood, and it grows faster."
Ye Sihai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But according to the information, this seaweed king is really a treasure.
After harvesting, crushing and fermenting, it is easy to extract four cubic meters of methane from one ton of raw materials, which can be used to make alcohol and acetone.
When used directly as a feed additive, it can increase the iodine content by dozens of times.
For medicinal purposes, it can treat anemia, prevent colds, shorten the course of disease, and greatly improve the resistance of the elderly.
Kelp is nothing in front of this seaweed king.
The seeds that cost one million US dollars per kilogram are actually more of the results of research and development that Ye Sihai bought.
But Ye Sihai is not interested in this.
It took three days to finally spread the fifty kilograms of seaweed king seeds.
This step is very important.
Once these seaweed kings grow up, Ye Sihai can start the next plan.
After the water quality of Crescent Bay is improved and the environment is built, there will be no worries about the lack of various fish and shrimps nearby.
These things may not be valuable, but they must be there.
Then he will add various precious seafood appropriately.
At that time, there will be all kinds of top seafood at the doorstep, and you can catch them whenever you want.
Which seaside resort in the world can experience this kind of experience?
No worries that tourists will not come.
You have to spend a lot of money to make an appointment.
After spreading the seaweed king seeds, Ye Sihai was quite happy.
Qin Yuan drove a speedboat, he stood at the bow and blew the sea breeze, and felt that everything was beautiful.
The perception of the heart of the ocean has expanded a little, but this is no longer so important to Ye Sihai.
What is important is the mind.
The mind control has become more and more delicate.
What kind of feeling is that?
The previous mind control was more simple and rough.
Now the creatures controlled by his mind basically do not show any resistance or fear reaction, and directly regard him as the same kind or even the mother.
After this change, he controls marine life much faster.
But this will accelerate the consumption of his mental power.
There are gains and losses.
Ye Sihai secretly tested that if he used his mind to command the entire group of whales of Gray Master at the same time, he could last for ten minutes.
Then his head would hurt like it was splitting apart.
The feeling of the world spinning.
If it is halved, he can last for half an hour.
If there are ten adult killer whales, he can control them for about two hours.
It is absolute control.
They will do whatever you tell them to do.
In this state, the killer whales themselves do not know what they are doing.
The evolution of the Heart of the Ocean to this extent is actually enough.
With a perception radius exceeding one thousand kilometers, he is already invincible in the vast ocean.
Even the aircraft carrier battle group cannot do anything.
He can make countless fish pile up the entire fleet on the ocean.
Is it really necessary to cover the seven oceans on the earth?
That is nonsense.
He does not have such big ambitions.
"Uncle Qin, I am going to buy a yacht, you have to prepare it."
When Ye Sihai got off the boat after returning to the dock, he smiled and said this to Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was surprised for a moment:
"Really? Then I have to go to the shipyard system to learn it. Sihai, how many meters did you order?"
Meters are meters.
In Qin Yuan's opinion, the small boss must have a lot of wealth.
But super yachts are definitely for rich people to play with.
Generally, small yachts under 20 meters can be handled by ordinary rich people.
But yachts of 50 meters are the watershed between ordinary rich people and super rich people.
This time, Ye Sihai not only wants to quietly order a super yacht.
He also wants to order a private jet.
After the financial crisis, his wealth has reached 100 billion US dollars.
It is enough for him to order these two luxury items.
Of course, do it quietly, don't shoot.
At that time, give the whole family a surprise.
He really wants to see the reaction of his young fiancee.
"Haha, Uncle Qin, keep it secret for the time being. I haven't told anyone. I will take you out quietly after a while. You can leave the work in your hands to Uncle Youtian during this period."
"I understand, little boss!"
