135, Jinjiang Exclusive(1/3)
Lu Ao and the others stayed at sea for one night.
Lao Luo had been excited all night. Lu Ao was sitting cross-legged on his boat and heard him making a phone call over there, telling his company about the discovery of dugongs.
He emphasized that Lu Ao also found a manatee underneath, saying that this manatee might be a new species, just like the previous Stella sea cow.
This sea cow is named after its discoverer.
Lu Ao listened to his excited voice for half the night. Several times during this period, someone suggested that he take advantage of tonight to go down and take another look to determine what was going on underneath.
Lao Luo also agreed, but every time he put on his equipment and wanted to go into the sea, he would look into Lu Ao's cold and beautiful eyes from a distance.
Lao Luo and the others were all a little afraid of Lu Ao. Maybe it was because Lu Ao was too famous, or maybe because he was cold and had a hard-to-treat personality.
Every time before Lao Luo put on the equipment, he convinced himself in his heart that he could just go to sea by himself regardless of Lu Ao's opinion.
However, as soon as he saw Lu Ao, his courage disappeared without a trace.
He instinctively sensed danger.
Lao Luo put on and took off his equipment, took it off and put it on again. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare to go into the water.
Lu Ao sat on the deck, leaning against the railing, staring at Lao Luo walking back and forth on the deck, feeling very ordinary.
He originally agreed with Song Zhou to come over at night.
They were on their own boat and could sleep together at night.
The old Luo thief on the opposite side is obsessed with it. Lu Ao can't ignore the manatees underneath because he is afraid of being poached by the other side.
Even if he wanted to date again at this time, Lu Ao could only forget it.
He called Song Zhou, briefly explained the situation, and then continued to stare at Lao Luo and the others.
That night, most people were awake, especially Lao Luo and Zhou Mingyi.
The two of them communicated with the company all night, and their voices became hoarse.
Until about four o'clock in the morning, Lao Luo refused to give up. He put on his equipment for the last time and went out to take a look. He saw Lu Ao sleeping on a mat spread on the deck.
As soon as he approached the railing, Lu Ao sat up and turned his head in his direction.
Lao Luo had no choice but to return to the cabin.
People from the Qianyong Municipal Maritime and Shipping Public Security Bureau arrived very quickly, arriving just after six in the morning.
Also coming with them were people from the Marine Ecology and Environment Department of the Fisheries Bureau.
They came over on a law enforcement boat and seemed to take this matter very seriously.
Xiao Du followed.
Their ship slowly approached. Xiao Du's partner Lao Gao put his hands on the deck and asked Lu Ao loudly: "Brother Xiao Lu, what's going on now?"
"Yesterday when we went to the sea for inspection, we found dugongs and manatees in this sea of kelp, so we called the police."
"Are you sure?" Lao Gao wondered, "They are not from the same family and genus at all. How can they be together?"
The manatee is a species of the genus Sirenia in the family Sirenidae and order Sirenia.
Dugong is a genus of Dugong in the family Dugongidae of the order Siratea.
Logically speaking, these two types of marine life would not mix.
Lu Ao nodded, "I'm very sure. I saw its tail."
Someone from the Fisheries Bureau asked: "Did you take any photos yesterday? Can you show them to us?"
Lao Luo and the others were standing aside, and it was only now that they found a chance to interject, "Of course. It's inconvenient to talk like this, why don't you come over to our boat to chat?"
The people from the Fisheries Bureau didn't object, "Okay, we'll come over then."
Lao Luo smiled and assisted them more enthusiastically.
Xiao Du and Lao Gao also quickly followed.
Before boarding Lao Luo's boat, Xiao Du greeted, "Brother Lu, are you coming too? Let's have a chat and summarize the current situation?"
Lu Ao looked at his boat and said, "No, you go over and chat first. I will take you to the underwater inspection later."
When the people from the Fisheries Bureau heard this, they immediately said: "Please wait a moment. Let's take ten minutes to briefly understand the situation."
Lu Ao nodded, "I'll put on my equipment first."
Lao Luo originally wanted to agree with the Fisheries Bureau and the police that the employees of UG Company were the discoverers of dugongs. It would be best to link UG Company with manatees and dugongs and advertise.
You should also say the same thing when you are interviewed by reporters after landing ashore.
Who would have thought that as soon as Lu Ao said these words, the people in the Fisheries Bureau were immediately attracted and had no intention of chatting with them slowly.
Lao Luo and Zhou Mingyi had no choice. After looking at each other, they had no choice but to briefly explain the situation yesterday, and then went to change their equipment.
Yesterday Lu Ao said he had discovered a manatee, but in fact, no one else except Lu Ao had actually seen whether there was a manatee.
Lao Luo and the others had to go into the water again to make sure.
Otherwise, if he moves too slowly, Lu Ao might abandon them and take only the people from the Fisheries Bureau into the water.
As for the issue of the dugong discoverer, we had to leave it to the company's public relations department to talk to the leaders of the Fisheries Bureau and the Public Security Bureau.
Lu Ao quickly put on his equipment.
The all-black diving suit he wore made his height and legs even more obvious. From where he stood, he looked like a model, very conspicuous.
The people from the Fisheries Bureau originally planned to spend ten minutes understanding the past situation, but unexpectedly they caught a glimpse of Lu Ao out of the corner of their eyes, and their attention was attracted.
Immediately, no one was in the mood to chat slowly. They just wanted to dive into the sea to see if there were really manatees.
Three people came from the Fisheries Bureau this time, Lao Ma, Lao Wang and Xiao Wei.
The first two are middle-aged people, and the latter is a college student who has just graduated.
They have worked in the Fisheries Bureau for so long and have never seen a group of wild dugongs.
The three of them were very excited when they said they wanted to dive down to find dugongs.
Lu Ao watched them put on their equipment, and then guided them to check it. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he took them into the water.
There were ten people diving down to look for dugongs this time.
There are three people from the Fisheries Bureau and five people from UG Company, plus Lu Ao and Xiao Du.
Lu Ao got into the water first and swam over to the side of the ship to wait for them.
Lao Luo jumped into the water, and while trying to keep himself afloat, he said to Lu Ao: "Brother Lu, I'm going to trouble you today."
"No trouble." Lu Ao said, "Don't get too close to the dugongs when you go down, and try not to disturb them."
Xiao Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we all know the rules of divers."
Lu Ao nodded, "Then get ready to go."
It was already past seven in the morning when they entered the water.
The sun has risen, and the orange light shines on the sea like broken gold.
Lu Ao pressed down and dived into the water.
The visibility today is very good and the sea is relatively calm.
When they dived down, the surrounding giant algae floated in the sea one by one, and the continuous patches seemed to form a forest.
Lu Ao led them carefully over the giant algae, and led them to swim forward while diving.
During this period, Lu Ao kept looking back at them to make sure that no one was left behind.
Two of the five people from UG Company brought underwater cameras and have been recording the current situation.
Xiao Wei from the Fisheries Bureau also turned on the underwater camera.
They looked at the fish swimming in the giant algae and were all curious.
During the filming process, they have been actively tracking the fish captured by the camera.
Diving itself is a relatively slow process. Even if it is slower, it will be fine.
Lu Ao didn't rush them. He took on the sampling work while they were filming.
When he dived yesterday, he also took samples and collected a relatively small giant algae specifically for UG Company.
Zhou Mingyi kept his mouth shut and was quite satisfied with his work.
It took them more than ten minutes to dive to the bottom of the sea.
Lu Ao took them and continued swimming forward.
When Lao Luo and the others looked forward, they could only see layers of giant algae and various fish, shellfish, starfish, etc. in the giant algae, but no dugong could be seen at all.
If Lao Luo and the others hadn't seen the existence of dugongs with their own eyes yesterday, he would have doubted whether Lu Ao was lying. There were no dugongs in this sea area.
It is impossible to talk in the sea. Even if you can gesture, the gestures can only give the most basic instructions, and there is no way to exchange specific opinions.
They kept swimming forward with Lu Ao.
Several people in the team had doubts on their faces, but there was still enough oxygen in the tanks, and Haili couldn't express their opinions. Even if they had something to say, they had no choice but to hold it back.
