Xiang Yang only added about one-fifth of sea water into the fish tank. In this way, when the boat was bumpy and shaking during the voyage, the water in the fish tank would not be shaken out.
Then Xiang Yang found a place at the bow, put the fish tank there, and finally put the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare into the fish tank. He smiled and said, "The appearance of this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare looks like a leaf. The leaf means the earth and also represents good luck. From now on, it will be the lucky leaf on our ship."
At this time Fang Youqun came over, he looked up at Xiang Yang, then looked down at the fish tank, "Brother Yang, I also agree to have a little mascot for the boat. I will be responsible for raising this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare when we sail in the future. What does it usually eat?"
"It doesn't need to eat." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"What?"
Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang in dumbfounded.
Xiang Yang repeated: "It doesn't need to eat, nor does it need anyone to take care of it. It just needs to watch over the fish tank and make sure there is water in it."
Fang Youqun immediately laughed and said, "Brother Yang, you are such a joker. How can there be a life that doesn't need to eat?"
"The Eastern Emerald Sea Hare doesn't need it." Xiang Yang said.
Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously, then at the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare.
A living marine creature does not need to eat. This is a bit beyond Fang Youqun's understanding.
"Did you see its pair of pseudopodia?" Xiang Yang asked.
Fang Youqun nodded, "Yes, it looks a bit like wings."
"What color are these pseudopodia?" Xiang Yang continued to ask.
Fang Youqun didn't understand why Xiang Yang asked him such a simple question, but he answered truthfully: "Green!"
"Yes, that's right, green. In fact, the pair of pseudopodia of the Oriental Emerald Sea Slug are full of chloroplasts. They are like a solar panel that can continuously convert sunlight into energy. This energy can easily support the consumption required for all its activities." Xiang Yang explained with a smile.
Fang Youqun blinked his eyes. He had heard every word Xiang Yang had just said, but when these words were put together, it felt like a fairy tale to him.
Xia Pengjie was also surprised and asked: "Captain, you mean, this little guy can photosynthesize?"
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, the crew looked at the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare differently.
Plants that can photosynthesize are not uncommon.
But animals that can photosynthesize are amazing.
"In the past, I thought it was magical when I saw moving plants. I didn't expect to see animals that can photosynthesize today. This world is really full of wonders." Xu Fang also marveled.
"Indeed, this world really contains everything. From now on, this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare will stay on our ship. Anyone interested can come and see it at any time." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
When the crew members heard Xiang Yang say that the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare could be viewed at will, they immediately swarmed over it, having already been interested in this magical creature.
Xiang Yang asked Xu Fang, "Master Xu, how many agar-agar have we caught on the boat?"
"I made a lot of money, but I haven't calculated the exact amount yet." Xu Fang said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "We will stay in this sea area for another two hours, and then choose to sail and return directly."
Xu Fang nodded. In fact, this was what he meant. Although the resources in this sea area were very rich, especially the number of agar-agar was very large, underwater fishing at the bottom of the sea was as quick as picking up money.
However, working underwater for a long time is not good for the body after all. Staying in this sea area for another two hours, that is to say, three more trips to the sea at most, is almost the limit of the physical energy consumed by a normal crew member during underwater work. Once this time is exceeded, not only will the collection efficiency become lower, but the human body functions will also be damaged to a certain extent due to long-term diving.
After resting for ten minutes, Xiang Yang went into the sea again.
This time, he did not go to the mysterious sea covered with white frost. As soon as he reached the bottom of the sea, he went straight to the seaweed.
After circling around in the seaweed for a few times, Xiang Yang caught a few Oriental Emerald Sea Snails. He caught all of them and kept them all in the small fish tank.
With a few emerald green Oriental Emerald Sea hares dotting the fish tank, the color is finally not so monotonous. As several of them swim together, the water in the fish tank is emerald green, emitting a gem-like color in the sun, shining brightly and beautifully.
Next, Xiang Yang went to sea twice more.
But unfortunately, Xiang Yang's good luck seemed to have run out. After these two trips, Xiang Yang was unable to find what he wanted.
However, Xiang Yang found a lot of swimming crabs and the like.
Xiang Yang naturally grabbed a few net bags without hesitation, thinking it was better than nothing.
When it was getting dark, the whole crew finally set out on their return journey, filled with joy over the good harvest.
The rest of the voyage went smoothly.
The fleet continued to move along the coastline towards Qinglong Bend.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, the fleet returned safely to Qinglong Bay.
"Hey, did something happen at the dock?" As soon as Xiang Yang returned to the vicinity of Qinglongwan Wharf, he saw a large number of off-road vehicles parked at the dock, and many people gathered at the dock.
When we got closer, we found that the leader of the group was Li Chao with a smile on his face. Next to Li Chao was a group of reporters with cameras.
"Brother Xiang, you are finally back." As soon as Li Chao saw the fleet dock, he couldn't wait to run to Xiang Yang's boat through the outer passage of the fishing boat.
Xiang Yang smacked his lips, pointed at the dock, and asked, "Did you call those people over?"
Li Chao nodded proudly. "I have called more than ten news agencies and even the person in charge of Guinness World to come over. Where is the sea cucumber emperor you told me about on the phone?"
Next to him, Zhang Qicheng's face also showed anticipation, without any sign of dissatisfaction.
When Xiang Yang saw the expression on Zhang Qicheng's face, he knew that Li Chao must have discussed this with Zhang Qicheng in advance, so he smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the Sea Cucumber Emperor."
Having said that, Xiang Yang took Li Chao and walked towards the stern of the ship.
Soon, the group reached the middle of the deck.
There, there is a large transparent water tank more than three meters long.
Li Chao immediately saw the giant sea cucumber lying quietly at the bottom of the water tank. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then he accelerated and ran quickly to the side of the water tank.
"Oh my god, there really is such a big sea cucumber. This guy must be more than two meters long."
