I contracted this sea [Live]

The master was at a loss, and immediately looked towards Ao Bing.

Ao Bing didn't know, so he said, "It was caught in the nearby sea, what's the problem, Professor Chen?"

Professor Chen's expression changed: "How many did you catch? Are they all here?"

Ao Bing struggled: "Five, these two were originally intended to be eaten with cold salad at night, and the other three were given to my old man. The old man is going to take them back to make wine."

Professor Chen was speechless, reached out and nodded Ao Bing:

"You're really good. Do you know what this is? It's a tube worm. Do you know what this thing grows on?"

Ao Bing really doesn't know, he must be familiar with the creatures in the East China Sea, but he is a little blinded by the creatures in the tropical seas, he only knows that these things contain high protein, as for what to eat to grow up, that's up to him I really don't know.

Ao Bing shook his head honestly.

Professor Chen has already pulled out his mobile phone and called the experts who are inspecting and researching Nautilus:

"Old Qin, the Nautilus is still alive, what's there to see? Hurry up, it's the real big deal!"

Ao Bing's heart is already tense at this moment, is it another prison beast to say goodbye?But he has been in the biology department for several years, and he has never heard of any tubular marine insects that cannot be caught?

Moreover, during this period of time, in order to avoid the embarrassing scene of catching the beast in prison again during the live broadcast, he also collected various popular science books on endangered species and recorded all the legal taboo species. Even if he is afraid of being struck by thunder, he has searched in his mind, and he can be sure that the bug he caught does not appear in the series of endangered species that the public is familiar with.

This made Ao Bing somewhat puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

What's going on?

Yes, what's going on, the old professor Qin Anguo also ran up anxiously with his assistant, because Professor Chen Chunmin didn't explain clearly on the phone, so a large group of people at the bottom didn't know. So, Wu Yang Yang came up, but now they were crowded at the door of the kitchen, and a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Professor Chen Chunmin meant by something big happened.

Chen Chunmin had already snatched the two tubular worms from the master, and was showing them to Professor Qin right now.

Professor Qin was stunned when he saw the bug, but soon the old professor realized that his face changed drastically. He took the tablet and didn't know what software he clicked on it, and what he checked, and then even the sound disappeared. Get sharper:

"There is no data record, and no relevant records can be found. Where did this bug come from? Are you sure it is in this sea area?"

Professor Chen pointed to Ao Bing's side: "You have to ask this kid about this. He grabbed the things and he knows best."

Ao Bing pointed back at his nose: "Me? No, professor, can you explain it clearly, so that I can have a clear idea. When I grasped this thing, I didn't know that it couldn't be grasped, and now This thing is still alive. I wanted to get some white wine to get drunk and marinated. Didn’t I have time to do it? It’s not a crime for those who don’t know. I just put this thing away right away. Did you detain me for a trivial matter?"

Professor Qin and Professor Chen looked at each other, and they both burst into laughter. Professor Qin was overjoyed at Ao Bing:

"What detention? No one said that this tubular worm can't be caught. I haven't praised you for catching these worms well. If you didn't catch these worms, who would know that there is such a thing in this sea area?"

Now Ao Bing is even more confused, what do you mean?Is the old professor really praising him or is he being sarcastic?

But soon Ao Bing found out, it was a real exaggeration, because he stumbled upon the ground by mistake, and seemed to have discovered some great secret.

Over there, Professor Qin was already discussing with Kui Qingyang, and told him to contact his superiors as soon as possible, and arrange for relevant personnel to come over with instruments and equipment as soon as possible, and then go to this sea area for relevant detection.

After seeing the posture and process, and hearing the detection equipment, Ao Bing understood.

He is familiar with this method. When he discovered the manganese nodules in Mincheng earlier, the staff who were in charge of supporting him at that time used this method at that time, so Ao Bing stood by and listened, and soon I realized that those few bugs had little to do with marine protected species, but they were closely related to the mineral deposits on the seabed.

He didn't ask any more questions. He knew that it was not his business to ask about this matter. He only knew that not long after Kui Qingyang reported his work to his superiors, he came to explain the situation to Professor Qin and Professor Chen:

"The State Council has received the news. First arrange the relevant departments of the Hai Province to respond. After detecting the relevant data, we can confirm that there is really something underneath."

Professor Chen nodded: "It should be like this. Otherwise, it would be a joke in the end with all the fanfare."

Professor Qin looked at Ao Bing: "When you caught these tube-shaped worms, did you find anything else at the bottom? Is there any other abnormality in that piece of sea water?"

abnormal?Ao Bing frowned, recalled a little bit about his situation under the water, and asked:

"It doesn't seem to be anything special. If I really want to say it, the water temperature in that area is slightly higher than the one above, the plankton is more dense, and the coral is very lush. Does that count?"

Professor Qin clapped his hands immediately, surprised and confident:

"That's it! These are all caused by hydrothermal deposits. Otherwise, the seabed water temperature would not be higher than the water surface. Those plankton and coral clusters are all affected by hydrothermal deposits. There must be a seabed hydrothermal outlet here. !"

Ao Bing was stunned for a moment. He had only vaguely seen this thing in the news about the seabed hydrothermal deposit. It is said that it is a seabed deposit with great development value. Liquefied ore deposits are regarded as a potential source of future strategic metals, which shows the importance of this thing.

China has also attached great importance to this thing in recent years, and has sent many scientific research ships to conduct explorations in the Pacific Ocean. However, there are not many outlets for hydrothermal deposits found, and basically the hydrothermal activity areas discovered It is also not within the scope of the country's sea area. If you want to conduct research and development on this, you need to wrestle with the ownership issue, which cannot be resolved within three to five years.

If there is a hydrothermal outlet in this area, it will definitely be a turning point in the country's research and development of seabed hydrothermal deposits. Once it is confirmed, it may cause a sensation not only in China, but also in the world. No wonder Professor Chen and Professor Qin were so nervous and excited, and the National Academy arranged the relevant procedures almost as soon as they received the news.

In fact, the importance of this matter at the moment is self-evident.

However, Ao Bing was still a little confused. Why were the two professors so sure that there must be a hydrothermal outlet hidden in the seabed just because he caught a few tube-shaped worms?

Professor Chen seemed to see the doubt in Ao Bing's eyes, and explained:

"Submarine hydrothermal deposits are polymetallic sulfide deposits related to hydrothermal springs. This solution is continuously ejected from submarine rifts. After interacting with seawater and seabed sediments, different forms of metals can be formed. ore deposits, and the seabed organisms that live near metal ore deposits also have the most distinctive feature, that is, the content of sulfur ions in their bodies exceeds the standard."

"The few tubular worms you caught have such distinctive features. There is a symbiotic bacteria in the tubular worms. This symbiotic bacteria needs to obtain sulfur ions from hot liquid, and then obtain oxygen from seawater to synthesize tubular worms. Organic matter necessary for survival, so tubular worms can only live in sea areas that can be exposed to seawater and hydrothermal fluids at the same time, once tubular worms appear, it means that there is a high possibility of seabed hydrothermal deposits in that area of ​​water.” [Note ]

Ao Bing was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He just said, these tubular worms were discovered at the bottom of deep water. They live in the deep sea where sunlight is completely out of reach, and they have the same bright red blood as mammals, and the color of their heads is bright red and beautiful. It is full of saturated iron hemoglobin, which is an abnormal situation in itself, but when he first caught this thing, he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't realize it at all, just a few inconspicuous lines The little bug is actually related to the mineral veins on the seabed!

But now it’s all right, the cold sea worms can’t be eaten, including the three worms that Ao’s father soaked in wine, they were all confiscated by Professor Chen and Professor Qin. The reason is that these things are biological samples of hydrothermal mines on the seabed and need Can Ao Bing refuse such a legitimate reason to collect and bring back to the laboratory for research?I can only watch helplessly as this delicious sea food is handed over.

Ao's father was also stupefied, secretly looking at the expert team over there, and asked his son in private:

"Is that thing really a great tonic? Then, after the expert group leaves, you go down and look for a few more?"

Ao Bing: ...

Although it is not clear that the thing is a marine protected species, and there is no relevant document saying that it cannot be eaten, but if there are really hydrothermal mines under here, let alone whether this area will be blocked by the relevant departments in the future, even if it is not blocked, that thing I don't dare to catch it anymore and eat it. After all, it is a species that lives on metal deposits. Who knows if the heavy metals in the body of that thing exceed the standard? The body is full of sulfides. No problem who knows?

In short, Ao Bing didn't dare to take risks, and he had to persuade his old man to give up on making wine with that thing, and promised again and again that he would definitely find some better underwater species for the old man to make wine with.

After finally calming down the wounded little heart of my old man, the comrades of the expert group over there, a dozen or so comrades, just lingered on the boat, waiting to eat and drink on the yacht of Ao Bing.

No way, the expert team, including Kui Qingyang's team, came to work, and they didn't even think about bringing a cook. Now that it's getting dark, there is no cook on board the huge expert team. If they want to eat, they can only eat instant noodles and dry food. Experts It's not that the team can't bear hardships, but on Ao Bing's ship, a group of people are having a barbecue and dinner on the deck, can the comrades of the expert team bear it?

Because Kui Qingyang and Ao Bing are old friends, this guy took the lead to sit down on the deck, and the comrades of the other expert groups of course followed suit, and they all followed the Ao family’s dining table, and the old professors joked with Grandpa Ao Chatting, Mr. Ao immediately yelled enthusiastically, asking the comrades in the expert group to eat together.

Ao Bing saw the shamelessness of this group of officials, and he was completely convinced. He had no choice but to admit his failure, and quickly took out the walkie-talkie and told the master chef in the kitchen below to make more food, and then he turned his head and gave it to Hu Xiyuan. Call to report the situation here and ask for reimbursement. He can provide board and lodging here, but you can’t eat and drink for free. They are all doing business for the public. Why do you have to ask him to pay for it? It doesn’t make sense anywhere, right? ?
