Chapter 813: New Techniques for Pearl Fishing in Hepu
"Oh" Li Chang doesn't care about new techniques at all. Anyway, Hanhan can always come up with different good methods.
"What are you using the coral for? I think the glass you made has many sides, and it looks like a rainbow when the light shines on it."
There is no coral at all. It is not something that the previous Xiaqiu Village could collect. Corals have been valuable since previous dynasties.
Corals are fished from the sea. Occasionally, there are corals brought up by the tide on the shore. They are generally not big and even less beautiful.
The former Xiaqiu Village had no corals or salted fish in the sea. It was really poor.
“Take out bracelets and beads for Liuqiu, or Ryukyu. Anyway, no matter where Liuqiu is, there are red corals. Didn’t the Ming Dynasty send an envoy there?
Ours The vassal country, yes, sent Yang Zai there. We just sent a big ship to take a stroll to deliver them some things and help them repair the dock.
Tropical plants can be planted there, plus Liuqiu next to it. There are many local people who have escaped from the war."
Zhu Wentian said that fishing for corals turned into helping others build docks. Ryukyu is very important. There are a lot of islands suitable for the army. stationed.
There are currently three countries in the area, all of which are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. The names of the three countries are easy to remember: Beishan, Zhongshan, and Nanshan.
Li Chang""
"Hanhan, you want to occupy it" He didn't believe that Hanhan was so kind.
"Ryukyu Prefecture or Ryukyu Province is a bad place and has not been developed. We can't help but Liuqiu. We have already sent people there. Take them all quickly and go back to plant things." ”
Zhu Wentian frankly admitted that, yes, he just wanted to really get the Ming Dynasty, instead of always existing as a vassal state.
Send troops over at the same time. Let’s see who dares to rob the Japanese country in the future
The Japanese country thought that it had the help of divine wind to defeat the Yuan Dynasty, so it dared to shout with the Ming Dynasty that the divine wind was useless. The Yuan Dynasty was not Understand ocean currents and monsoons.
"Is the king willing? Anyway, I wouldn't be willing." The chief shook his head.
"Take your time and plant things first. It's suitable for growing sugar cane there. It's so sweet. Fish for corals and go back to make a net. The water is too deep and you can't dive down.
There are pearl divers who specialize in fishing for pearls. The pearl divers there are very good. You can equip them and let them go down to the deep sea.
And then create a special decompression chamber so that they cannot fly directly up. , it will kill people. In order to save time when going down, Zhu Wentian thought of good helpers, pearl divers. They are powerful. They don’t wear anything and just plunge down. Plunge dozens of meters.
If you bring equipment, which is a tin pipe connected to your mouth and nose, plus an inflated soft leather bag, you can reach a depth of four to five hundred feet.
When they are out of breath, they pull on the rope, and the people above them pull them up. Once they are up, they are immediately wrapped in a hot blanket, otherwise they will freeze to death.
There are also man-eating fish below, and sharks are the most common.
This is the content of the record. In fact, they still had diving sickness and did not decompress at all. They went down to 150 to 60 meters at a time.
"We'll see if His Majesty comes tomorrow. If he comes, immediately tell the Hepu pearl divers not to go into the water and wait until we make the tools.
Get a diving suit and flippers. , lights, diving bells, oxygen bottles, and see if it works to pump air on the surface.
You can wear more clothes inside the diving suit, at least it will not be so cold. If you encounter a shark, get into the bell. Go down a few more at a time and use the spring crossbow to shoot arrows.
Mix some nitrogen with oxygen. Helium is difficult to get. You can't use ammonia to decompose nitrogen and then use nitrogen and hydrogen to synthesize ammonia. Then recycling helium can make me exhausted.
Nitrogen is not as good as helium, but at least it can be used. With oxygen, the pearl divers will not be so tired.
The medicinal pearls are being raised. It will be fine if they are raised. If they are not allowed to fish for pearls, their income will be reduced."
Zhu Wentian considered a series of issues. In fact, the Ming Dynasty in history did not allow it. Pearl divers go down privately and can only collect pearls for the authorities.
Hepu pearl divers fish for pearls all year round. Some people have short lifespans, but they have been able to adapt to changes in water pressure.
The simplest way is to exhale the air in your chest when you reach the normal diving decompression position when rising in the water, and then hold it for a while before reaching the surface.
With the additional equipment and more money given to the pearl divers, their safety will be improved and their income will increase.
The Ming Dynasty no longer needed to save money by exploiting and squeezing pearl divers, as it could earn money from foreign trade.
The chief wrote down "Let them collect blood corals"
"We will talk about it later. Let the ships use trawl nets to catch corals first. Use our nets and we will make jewelry. We are rich. People."
"If you hang the trawl, the coral must be broken."
"The broken ones can be used for medicinal purposes. It is a medicinal material. You can watch it intact. Or make jewelry, and send the broken pieces to the herbal medicine store. "I know." Li Chang couldn't remember the names of so many medicinal materials.
The next morning, the head of the village got up very early, drank water, and wrote a question book. He was afraid that His Majesty would not come, so he asked the prince to deliver it to him.
Then he started to feel comfortable, his teeth were cleaned, he drank honey water, and he waited hungry for lunch.
He felt that he had no problem and wanted to eat big meat buns, which smelled so good.
Zhu Wentian and others went to the laboratory to be busy again. The villagers made popcorn sticks, including sorghum, millet and rice.
It is shipped and sent to the industrial zone together with other nuts, dried fruits, watermelons, cantaloupes, skin care products, and cosmetics. The main products are cosmetics and other food. The craftsmen of the popcorn stick industrial zone themselves Can be made, including marshmallows.
The prince and his four other brothers arrived at noon and sent someone to tell them that the village was eating Malatang and the prince was not in the house.To eat, it’s not lively enough with few people.
Zhu Xiang and others already knew that there was no one on the second floor in front of the box lunch shop, and there was no laboratory in the back. They were not willing to eat the box lunch cooked by the apprentice.
"Your Highness, I have a question book." The chief took out the question book and handed it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao received it and opened it to see, "There are good things again. There are them in the Blood Coral Palace. Take them and use them."
"Your Highness, take them out and put them in the village to put in the aquarium." We can’t raise them in the palace, the coral polyps are all dead.” The chief shook his head, no.
There may be live coral polyps in the freshly caught fish, which can be kept forever. Corals of other colors can also be kept.
There are large glass fish tanks in the village, which raise some ornamental fish and also raise marine fish ready for eating.
If you put an electric motor, there will be oxygen equipment, there is no shortage of lighting, and the fish food is puffed feed.
There is also a large pond with a lot of koi in it. When feeding, they run to the pond and wait with their mouths wide open. They also like to drink some wine and pour it into the water.
But don’t give too much, as it will cause death when you are drunk, especially if you pour it directly into your mouth, it is absolutely not okay.
"Coral can still be raised, if the village learns to raise animals, such as tigers and leopards, let's take a look." Zhu Xi didn't know where the coral came from, and always thought it was a mineral.
"His Royal Highness King Qin said that there are iron-eating beasts in His Royal Highness's zoo territory. They are black and white and can be raised. The village should indeed have a zoo."
The mayor was tempted. Build a zoo and let the children see different animals, or choose a place and choose a day to open it to outsiders so that everyone can learn together.
