129. Coral Reef Battle (regular 1/5)
Qin Shiou used paid consultation method, and the experts there were very conscientious and quickly sent the information he needed.
The information is all in English, with many professional words on it. Qin Shiou was so tired that he called Shaq, Nelson and the sea monster over. The group studied it together. After much research, he did not find anything wrong.
In the next few days, Qin Shiou took a group of guys with much more muscles than brains to study this information.
After studying for a few days, I finally got some understanding.
Speaking of which, the mars system creates artificial coral reef habitat by fixing multiple modules like Lego blocks.
We know that coral reefs are usually built on the skeleton of calcium-rich coral polyps, and it usually takes hundreds of years to go from the remains of coral polyps to their ideal habitat.
However, climate change, pollution and overfishing of fish have seriously threatened these reefs.
In addition, large storms and destructive fishing methods such as blast fishing will destroy coral reefs in a short time, while the remaining structures are simply unsuitable and animals that can form corals, such as coral polyps and sponges.
The new Mars system can greatly shorten the time for coral reef formation because one of the functions of this design is to quickly repair damaged coral reefs and speed up their recovery process: first transport the hollow ceramics to the place where they want to be installed, and then use sand and reinforced concrete to fill them.
You should know that the mars module can form a very complex network. This network can change the water flow, allow food particles to stay around it, and provide protection for small aquariums under the sea.
Coral polyps are attached to the mars module, and they can be transformed into coral reefs after they reproduce, so that the coral reefs attract more aquatic animals to come and form a virtuous cycle.
After understanding this research, Qin Shiou felt that this idea was more desirable. The main body of the building material needed by the Mars system is reinforced concrete that polyps hate, but the surface of these concrete is covered with unique ceramic plates. The surface of the ceramic plates is complex and can intercept food particles in the water.
Most importantly, these ceramic plates are specifically referred to, and the raw materials include coral reef fragments, which are used to increase the cognitive sense of coral polyps!
According to the experimental data on material attachment, this new material is very attractive to polyps. The polyps have a sense of identity that exceeds 55 times the same shape, 28 times the same shape, 22 times the same shape, and 15 times the same shape wood!
Qin Shiou specially found the phone number of the external person in charge of the School of Life Sciences and Engineering of the University of Sydney. After asking about this idea, he learned that this idea is not yet mature and is just a graduation thesis topic done by a team.
This made him a little frustrated, and what made him even more frustrated was that the person in charge notified him that this idea was unrealistic and that no government would spend a lot of money and energy to produce such a combination of reinforced concrete and ceramic plates.
But this is the most suitable coral reef expansion plan that Qin Shiou can find, and it is more suitable than using shipwreck wood.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try." Qin Shiou made up his mind. Everything cannot be heard only by the so-called experts. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. What our ancestors said must make sense.
Before we knew it, it was Friday, and the four children ran back at noon.
Qin Shiou saw them enter the house and asked excitedly: "Hi. Have you skipped school?"
When Qin Shiou escaped from school when he was a child, he was tormented by me. He still remembers the taste of stewing meat on the belt. Now it is finally his turn to show his power. How can he not be excited?
"No, we have an event next Monday, and school is early today." Shirley's face was a little sad, and the other three were the same.
Qin Shiou asked, "What activities are there? Tell me, why do you seem unhappy?"
Boris, who has always been strong, also became frustrated and said, "Our school will hold an imitation event next Monday. Students from grade one to six have to participate. We will hold an imitation market. We will all be merchants, but what do we sell?"
Next Monday is June 1st, which is International Children's Day. Grant Primary School will hold events on this day every year, and this year is a market imitation event.
This kind of imitation activity is common in primary schools in Canada, similar to the simulation of the United Nations (mun) activity, with the purpose of honing children's communication skills and survival skills, while increasing children's communication with each other.
Generally, in this simulated market activity, children will sell toys, old clothes or things they don’t like in exchange for the money they need.
There is a rule in this game, that is, every child is a businessman, they have no funds at first, and the source of funds is external income. At that time, parents will be invited to participate in the event, and parents will pay for money to buy things, and the money will be injected into the market and become working capital.
Boris is different from the other children. They are not like other children. They have accumulated a lot of toys or clothes since they are young, so they lack products.
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "This is not simple. On the weekend, we go to St. John's to purchase, and then you go to school to sell. There are such merchants in China, called second-deao dealers."
Shaq shook his head and reminded: "Don't do this, boss, this activity is to train the children's abilities. If you do this, it will only make them unable to raise their heads in front of their classmates."
Qin Shiou was a little helpless. He asked Shaq about the activities related to the sea monster. It turned out that this activity was very important to primary school students. Every time the winner of this simulation activity would become a sensational figure in the school and attract more attention like a sports athlete.
According to past experience, the winners of the event do not sell ready-made goods, but often their own DIY small things, which can attract adults to make their first investments.
Qin Shiou thought for a while and smiled, "Then I have an idea. Children, aren't you imitating the market? There are always food sellers in the market, right? Come on, I will teach you how to make Chinese specialties on the weekend, and then we will sweep the whole school!"
The solution he thought of was to teach children to make dumplings. This job was relatively simple. Make the dumpling skin and dumpling filling in advance. At that time, the four children would be responsible for sticking the dumpling skin and boiling the dumplings.
As for the dumpling filling, he plans to prepare two kinds of meat dishes, two kinds of vegetarian dishes, four kinds of meat dishes, beef dumplings and fish dumplings, and vegetarian dishes are water spinach dumplings and lettuce egg dumplings.
On Saturday morning, he mixed the noodles with egg white and put them in a steamer to serve. Then steamed the carp, grass carp and pineapple in the refrigerator. When the fish is cooked, he picked out the fish bones and left the fish meat with green onion, ginger, garlic and coriander.
Beef is easy to deal with. The supermarket sells beef and can help grind it. The remaining vegetarian dumplings are also simple. Shaq and the sea monster are responsible for fine-graining water spinach and lettuce.
In fact, Qin Shiou wanted to make leek, egg dumplings, and the shrimps from Newfoundland fishing grounds would taste great.
Unfortunately, the leeks are not mature, and he also thinks that Canadians may not be used to the taste of leeks, so he used lettuce, which Europeans prefer, instead.
Qin Shiou took out the dough, cut it out and quickly mixed it into a cylindrical shape, the kitchen knife rose and fell quickly, cut it into small pieces, and then rolled the skin with the rolling pin made last night, and taught the four children while working:
"Look, first use your hands to roll it into a flat shape, does it look like a flying saucer? Haha, then turn it with this round stick and grind it flat. Pay attention to the shape of the dough, it's better if it's round."
"In addition, be careful, the dumpling skin should be thick in the middle and thin in the edges, and the middle is thick to prevent the dumpling filling from leaking. The edges are thin and the taste is good."
Chapter completed!
