958. Coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef

When Afeif came back, he also invited Qin Shiou to enjoy the corals and seashells of the Great Barrier Reef.

Qin Shiou had nothing to do. Since he invited him, he did not continue to refuse and got on the boat together.

Princess Loli was very happy, she asked, "Which moon fish or beautiful sea shells is harder to find?"

Qin Shiou didn't understand the meaning of her question, so he said truthfully: "It should be a moon fish. This kind of precious sea fish is the meaning of good luck when catching it. Good-looking sea shells are relatively easy to encounter by the sea."

Princess Loli was happy and said, "You can even catch moonfish, so you can definitely find beautiful sea shells, right?"

Qin Shiou blinked, and after hearing this, he remembered that after the storm last year, he caught a big moonfish in the Bay of St. Lawrence, and later made it into a specimen and participated in a charity auction. At that time, it seemed that Princess Loli bought it.

While chatting, they stood on the dock to get on the boat. The handsome Hamandan man was wearing a casual suit and headphones. He looked at the deeper sea with deep eyes, and he was still the most handsome look in the universe.

However, in front of ordinary people, the little prince is very graceful. If someone comes to him for a photo, even the waiter will show a warm and slightly reserved sunny smile, and then look handsome in the camera.

Of course, the premise is that the person who wants to take a photo can break through his two bodyguards.

Most of the people who came to participate in the Yuntong Annual Meeting brought bodyguards, some were assistant bodyguards, but most of them were one or two, only the princes and princesses from the Middle East. They brought more of them, as if they brought the troops.

In fact, Yuntong Company does a good job in security. They are in the service industry and have professional security companies. The entire resort is in the security field. As far as Qin Shiou knows, they even rented an Australian armed helicopter squadron!

So far, the only injury case in the resort has been related to Qin Shiou. The leatherback turtle bites and hits him. This is the only conflict, and the others are all Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

The sea area within 800 meters of the resort's seaside has been cleared, and people have cleared it every day. There are only sand on the bottom of the sea that is more delicate than the beach. There are not even large reefs, turning the offshore waters into large baths.

Therefore, if guests want to see the corals and undersea creatures of the Great Barrier Reef, they have to take a boat to the designated sea area, and then they have to leave the fishing ground.

A four-story luxury cruise ship slowly landed. The captain came out to receive every guest on board and distributed publicity materials to everyone, which introduced the situation of the sea area that will arrive later, including the water temperature and all creatures that appear.

The guests got on the boat and drove northward. They were going to a small town called "Husky", which was the same as a funny dog. However, this town is not funny, but a famous tourist town.

The sea water around the Great Barrier Reef is a blue-green that penetrates the heart. Because the continental shelf here is very long, the sea water is very shallow, and the water quality is good. The brilliant sunshine shines on the water surface and penetrates the sea water to the bottom of the sea.

It was obviously the first time that Princess Loli came to the Great Barrier Reef. She lay on the side of the boat and looked out, and kept shouting "ahhhhhh".

Qin Shiou read the travel manual and introduced that the Husky Sea area they were going to is one of the most representative sea areas of the Great Barrier Reef. There are more than 200 different types of coral reefs living there, accounting for half of the coral reef species of the Great Barrier Reef.

In addition, there are more than 1,100 fish, more than 2,800 mollusks in the sea area, and more than 100 birds gathered, with unique scientific research and tourism conditions.

Along the way, Qin Shiou put the consciousness of the sea god into the ocean and recognized the largest coral reef area in the world.

Once you leave the resort waters, the undersea environment becomes richer and colorful. Reefs appear one after another, and many reefs will only appear at low tides. Some form sandbanks. Some surround the islands or are embedded in the shores of the mainland.

"How did these coral reefs form? We don't have coral reefs in Dubai." Princess Loli asked curiously at first, and then sighed regretfully.

Hamandan with headphones didn't know if there was any music on, but he actually heard the problem of Princess Loli's voice not loud, and said coolly: "We have a desert, but there is no desert here..."

"Yes, here is the fourth largest desert in the world, the Australian Desert, stretching for 1.55 million kilometers." Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Hamandan turned his head, and even through his glasses, Qin Shiou could feel the murderous intent in his eyes.

Qin Shiou shrugged at him, raised his travel manual and said, "There are introductions on it, but in fact I only know it."

"How did the coral reef form?" Princess Loli asked Qin Shiou curiously with wide eyes.

Qin Shiou explained: "This is a long story. The coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef take millions of years to form. They are made up of the calcium hard shells and debris of coral polyps, and absorb the remains of biological bodies such as coral algae and group insects, and finally cemented."

Hamandan quietly flipped through the travel manual, Qin Shiou patted his shoulder and whispered: "There is no such thing in the manual, this is common sense, so there is no need to put it on the manual."

"I'm just watching it casually!" The little prince got angry.

Qin Shiou no longer teased him and followed the consciousness of the sea god to watch the underwater world in the southern hemisphere.

The number of coral polyps in the Great Barrier Reef is far greater than that in the Daqin Fishery Sea, and Qin Shiou cannot transfer the coral polyps here because they can only live in waters where the water temperature remains at 22-28 degrees throughout the year, and the water quality must be clean and transparent.

The water quality of the fishing ground is pure enough and has high transparency, but temperature is a big problem. The coral polyps in the Daqin Fishing Ground should be the owner of the previous Sea God Heart, a variety that Mr. Qin Hongde only obtained after many years of improvement.

The Great Barrier Reef has the most ideal conditions for reproduction of coral polyps. Through the consciousness of the sea god, Qin Shiou can clearly see the scene of these small things reproduction.

Coral polyps feed on plankton, and they live in groups and secrete lime skeletons after eating.

In this way, the remains of the older generation of coral polyps remained after their deaths, and the new generation of coral polyps continued to develop and reproduce on this basis. Qin Shiou found a coral reef and input the energy of the sea god, just like trees sprouting branches. The coral polyps secreted calcareous matter, metabolized and reproduced wildly, and developed to the heights and sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh that the Great Barrier Reef is really a holy place for the survival of coral polyps. If his fishing ground was here, he would have built a coral reef in that year.

Under nature, coral polyps must secrete calcareous skeletons and then cement together with the remains of marine organisms such as algae and shells. It is very slow to accumulate a coral reef.
