"I would like to go down, but are there diving suits on the boat?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
"Uh." Zhang Qicheng blinked. He had been out to sea with Xiang Yang.
On Xiang Yang's boat, a diving suit is a must-have item, so much so that he didn't even think about it before he set off.
"Brother Chao." Zhang Qicheng looked at Li Chao, "Are there any diving suits on this yacht?"
"I don't know about that. You can ask the housekeeper." Li Chao shrugged.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhang Qicheng hurried to find the housekeeper.
Soon, he came back with a simple diving suit and said excitedly, "Yes, in the cabin, there are several diving suits used by the engine room crew to inspect the ship's equipment. They are all new. Do you want to go underwater with me to take a look?"
Li Chao shook his head. "I'm old now. My body can't stand staying underwater for too long, so I won't go down."
Xiang Yang also shook his head, "My body can handle it, but I just don't want to go down."
Several people expressed their understanding of Xiang Yang's words. Xiang Yang himself is a fisherman, and diving and fishing is still his main way of making money. He has finally had a break, and it would be too much to ask him to go into the water again.
"If none of you guys go down, then I'll go down directly." Zhang Qicheng snorted.
Xiang Yang casually glanced under the side of the ship and saw a lot of blue lights on the sea.
"Hey, this is it." Xiang Yang said in surprise.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Qicheng asked.
Xiang Yang shrugged and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, I'm afraid you can't go down."
"Why?" Zhang Qicheng asked puzzledly.
Xiang Yang pointed helplessly at a faint blue light ball, "Look, what is that?"
Zhang Qicheng stared at the blue light for a while. At first glance, the blue light was very beautiful, just like a Smurf.
But after carefully identifying the other party's identity, Zhang Qicheng shuddered and exclaimed: "That's a blue jellyfish."
Those blue elves floating on the sea look like beautiful balls of transparent jelly.
Although they look gentle, this jellyfish, commonly known as "sea wasp", is one of the most poisonous animals on the planet, and its toxins are even more terrible than those of the box jellyfish.
Most creatures will die within minutes after being touched by the tentacles of a blue jellyfish.
Dr Peter Filler of Queensland Coastal Rescue said there was no other animal in the world more toxic than the blue jellyfish.
The venom of a Thai snake, the most poisonous in Australia, can only kill 30 adults, and it will take several hours for it to be fatal. However, the venom of a large blue jellyfish can kill 60 people.
Before 2005, no one had ever seen the hairy juveniles and aquatic bodies of the blue jellyfish alive.
In 2005, experts Yamaguchi and Tweek from the University of Queensland tracked and explored the life and growth stages of blue jellyfish, which marked the beginning of human’s real understanding of this terrifying creature.
It has been observed that adult blue jellyfish like to gather near estuaries to reproduce on summer evenings.
After reproducing, the blue jellyfish will die like a moth after laying eggs.
The hairy embryos of blue jellyfish that transform from eggs attach to the bottom of the river and turn into thorn-like bodies in autumn.
In the spring, when the rainy season begins, they transform into small jellyfish and then swim to offshore waters to hunt.
When blue jellyfish grow up, they are extremely strong and agile swimmers, and their speed can reach about 1 meter per second.
Blue jellyfish like to feed on small fish and shrimp.
Blue jellyfish are very harmful because they often appear in crowded places.
For example, the beaches along the Australian coast are rich in small fish and shrimp, making them a good place for blue jellyfish to survive and reproduce, but they are also a place where locals like to go on vacation in the summer.
The blue jellyfish does not intend to sting; stinging is simply its defensive instinct.
Because there is a kind of stinging cells on its tentacles, which will react when subjected to certain chemical stimuli.
Once a person is burned by a blue jellyfish, it is very difficult to treat, and if there is no antitoxin, the person can almost wait for death.
A few years ago, scientists at the Australian Sheep Serum Laboratory successfully developed a serum that is very effective in treating blue jellyfish toxins. After injection, normal breathing can be restored immediately and the pain will disappear after a few minutes.
But this serum is expensive and difficult to preserve.
Currently, scientists have built a blue jellyfish laboratory to simulate the natural environment.
According to scientists' observations and analysis, the reason why blue jellyfish can secrete such a deadly toxin is because their bodies are very fragile and they are easily injured and torn apart by their prey when hunting, so they must deliver a fatal blow to win.
Even Xiang Yang would have to retreat away when seeing this kind of blue jellyfish, let alone Zhang Qicheng.
"It is said that blue jellyfish will not actively attack humans. Why don't you go down and try it? As long as you don't actively get close to them, they should not come to attack you." Murong Zhenfei said with a smile.
"Is that human language?" Zhang Qicheng rolled his eyes and took off the diving camera from around his neck. "I still want to live a few more years."
"Let's continue talking about submarines." Li Chao said with a smile: "Tell me, what do you think of this submarine?"
Xiang Yang shook his head, not knowing how to respond to Li Chao's questions.
If we only talk about yachts, Xiang Yang actually feels that, except for those that are labeled as luxury, other yachts are mostly the same.
In fact, when evaluating the quality of a yacht, the main thing is to look at the services it provides, which is the job of the yacht club.
Yacht clubs originated in Britain in the 18th century.
It became a fashion as early as the 1950s.
The earliest yacht club was a small dock for boat enthusiasts among dignitaries to moor, repair and resupply their boats.
With the continuous development of the economy, the scale of marinas continued to expand, the port gradually evolved into a gathering place for the upper class of society, and the yacht club really began to become an industry.
Today, the original simple functions of yacht clubs can no longer meet the growing entertainment, social, business and other needs of the wealthy.
A true yacht club should be a profit-making company that integrates catering, entertainment, accommodation, business, boat berthing, maintenance, supply, driving training and other functions.
It’s just that the yacht club is too difficult to run.
Buying a yacht requires ship registration.
The purchaser must first register with the maritime department, apply for a ship name that complies with regulations, and then place an order with the shipyard.
A business license is required to apply for a company.
A ship name is like a car license plate, it is unique.
After the ship leaves the factory, the maritime department will issue the ship ownership certificate only after approving the ship purchase contract and other documents.
In addition, Xiang Yang also heard that the cruise ship needs to inspect the ship with the ownership certificate and pass it before issuing the inspection certificate and nationality certificate, so that the ship can legally go to sea.
