664. New wetsuit
The hut was built, and the sea monster asked if I should apply a layer of shellac. Because it is close to the ocean, the air is too moist, and the wood can easily breed insects and ants. Brushing a layer of shellac can protect the wood.
Qin Shiou shook his head and said that it is not necessary. When the moisture content of the wood is below 18%, the insects cannot survive. However, he read the instructions and said that the average moisture content of the wood used in the cottage does not exceed 17%, which eliminates the necessary environment for insect survival.
In addition, the cottage he purchased is of high-end quality. The wood used for the walls and roof has undergone four insect-proof treatments. The exposed materials used for outdoor platforms such as railings and corridor floors have also been specially moisture-proof treatments.
This not only does not require insect control, but also moisture-proof.
The reason is that wooden house panels are porous materials with a small thermal conductivity and are poor conductors of heat. The internal structure is similar to sponge, which can inhale or discharge moisture according to the humidity changes in the surrounding environment, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the wooden house.
This is not an exaggeration, nor is it strange. Why do high-end villas now use wooden house materials? Because botanists have found that porous wood can adjust humidity during the rainy season. When the humidity is too high, the wood will automatically absorb moisture, and when it is dry, it will release moisture from its own cells, just like a natural air conditioner.
In this way, just by teaching children to perform regular protection, the hut can be protected from pests and corrosion for a long time.
There is no doubt that the children love the cabin. Even experts who don’t like villas are willing to lie around the cabin, let alone the arrogant little guys of the tiger and leopard.
This proves one thing: the best houses that people live in are made of wood. After all, the longest lifespan of trees is listed in the objects that live on the earth. In addition, wooden houses have the breath of nature and can subtly adjust the endocrine system of life.
That night, the child was going to stay in the house to sleep. Qin Shiou disagreed. First, the house had just been built and had not been tested by time. I don’t know if it was solid enough. Second, after all, there are decoration materials inside, and he doesn’t know whether the chemical substances such as formaldehyde in these materials have been drained.
Since they couldn't live in it, the kids played very late, and Winnie had to turn off the refrigerant and beverage machines for them because they drank too many cold drinks, which was absolutely not possible.
Qin Shiou didn't know when the children went to bed, but after he got up, the children were all asleep.
Walking out of the villa and looking at the small wooden house not far away, Qin Shiou stretched and felt really refreshed.
The fishing grounds in early summer are filled with the breath of life, giving people a feeling of being deeply trapped in it and lingering.
The original ecological environment of the fishing ground is close to nature. It can be said that the soul of all this has no steel bars, no concrete, no bricks and tiles, only the fragrance of soil and flowers, only the gentle sea breeze and the blue sky. Even if you stand in the fishing ground, you can feel that you have returned to nature wholeheartedly.
No wonder the tourism industry on farewell to the island is so prosperous. When tourists come, they don’t experience the style of a small North American town. They simply want to calm their anxious hearts and relax their tired bodies.
For many people in China, this is a matter of no exchange.
Today, the waves were calm. Qin Shiou rolled up his electric water skiing board and was about to go to the sea to surf. Billy came to him and smiled and said, "What's the point of surfing in this kind of weather? Surfing and water skiing are both extreme sports that challenge the sea. The weather is so fun and so boring."
Qin Shiou curled his lips and asked, "Okay, you're right, then tell me, what's the right weather?"
"Dive, ocean diving!" Billy said confidently.
Qin Shiou felt it, indeed, the calm wind should be suitable for diving. He had only dived in Chenbao Lake and had not seen it under the fishing ground. He happened to go into the water today.
After making this decision, he asked Billy to take a helicopter to St. Johns Bigfoot Reyek. Billy asked him what he was diving to St. Johns. Qin Shiou said, "I don't have a diving suit, I must buy a diving suit."
Seeing Qin Shiou, Reyek laughed: "What wind blows you to me? Let me guess, what are you going to come to? Or get some fish fry?"
When it comes to replenishing fish fry, Qin Shiou really has to do it, but there is no need for Reyek. He called Bill and asked him to add a batch of Arctic shrimp fry, herring fry, mackerel fry and the like to the fishing ground.
Arctic shrimp is also a very precious seafood. It tastes sweet when cooked slightly. It is not only eaten directly or cooked with hot pot, but also a great dish. In addition, raw Arctic shrimp is a top-quality Japanese sushi.
But for fishing grounds, the greater function of Arctic shrimp is to have some precious economic fish food. Yes, Arctic shrimp is not low, but this type of shrimp is too small to raise much, so it is better to use it to make food for economic fish.
Economical fish species, whether cod, salmon or tuna, are all very big guys.
After calling, Qin Shiou said to Reyek: "My man, help me choose a diving suit. I want to go to the sea to have fun."
Reyek asked with a smile: "It's good to have fun? How good to have fun? Shallow or deep water?"
"Start with shallow water." Billy interjected. Although Qin Shiou performed well last time in Shenbao Lake, he was still a little worried. Qin Shiou was his big financial backer and nothing could happen.
"Will there be a nylon or a lyca scuba suit?" Reyek continued to ask.
Qin Shiou didn't understand these things, so let Billy introduce them.
It took Billy a long time to dive. Due to his family environment, he learned to swim before he could walk, and learned to sneak before he could ride a bicycle. He naturally just talked about diving equipment.
"Nylon and Leica cloth are the most common wetsuit fabrics nowadays. Their central linings are foamed rubber, so as long as the thickness is the same, the wetsuits made of both fabrics have the same warmth effect."
"What are the differences? First of all, the lyca fabric has more threads per unit area and is denser in knitting, so it is more wear-resistant. In addition, compared with nylon fabric, it has better elasticity, and this kind of diving suit can adapt to more complex underwater environments."
"The second is the lifespan of the two fabrics, and lyca-burns are more durable than nylon fabrics."
"The other is the degree. Remember, my clothes were silver-white last time and you were gray. There are many colors to choose from in lyca cloth, and there are only two types of nylon cloth, gray and black."
What Billy did not introduce is the price of the two types of diving suits, the same thickness and the same equipment. The lycat suits are three to four times more expensive than nylon cloth.
He doesn’t think this is necessary. Qin Shiou still cares about the price when buying things?
"Then which diving wetsuit do you choose in the end? It must be Leicabu's, right?" Billy asked enthusiastically.
Qin Shiou Danding shook his head, pointed to an iron armor and said, "No, I want this!"
Billy: "…"
Reyek smiled because this was the most expensive new diving suit in his store!
