Xiang Xingchang quickly sent the corresponding picture to Lu Ao.

The water flow in Minya Bay is relatively calm, and there are a lot of reefs and silt in a certain area below. The traces left by the double trawl nets dragging through the silt are very obvious.

Lu Ao looked at these photos and frowned.

This sea area was stirred up by the twin trawls, and the mud below became almost a desert, and the algae, seaweed and coral above were all destroyed.

Lu Ao asked on WeChat: Which company made it without any gossip leaking out?

Xiang Xingchang: No, if we had known which grandson did it, we would have reported it long ago! It might have been a foreign ship that caught a bunch of people and then left. It slipped away too fast, and we couldn’t find those grandsons.

Lu Ao asked: What happened to the coral? I remember that there was no coral in that area?

Xiang Xingchang: Our coral was specially given to us by Professor Huang, saying it was a specific species adapted to our local area. Who knew that these corals had just been planted, and before they even survived, they were destroyed by these grandchildren!

The more Xiang Xingchang talks about it, the more he gets angry.

Only then did Lu Ao know that the corals cultivated by Huang Ningna had achieved great success after surviving the high temperature, and they had now begun to cultivate the second generation.

The coral seedlings originally cultivated by Huang Ningna are now planted throughout the Qianming Sea. He will stay here for the next year to continue observation and research.

When Xiang Xingchang and others heard about Huang Ningna's plan, they came to visit them and asked for some corals to plant in Minya Bay with volunteers.

Who would have known that they worked so hard and spent a lot of effort that the corals were destroyed by double trawls before they could even be planted.

Lu Ao told Song Zhou about this at night.

Song Zhou looked at the picture and said, "The damage is serious enough, what are you going to do now? Do you want to help?"

Lu Ao knew that the help he was talking about was to use non-human means to directly find the evil fishing boat.

"No need for this, let humans find it themselves." Lu Ao said, "I want to go there tomorrow and plant corals first, and then see if we can find a way to restore the ecology of that area."

"how to do?"

Lu Ao only had a rough idea. He said, "I want to try it to see if I can inject vitality into algae on a large scale."

When he breathed life into certain creatures, he always did it one-on-one, never trying to breathe life into animals and plants on a large scale.

Song Zhou also has no relevant experience. What he usually does is to deprive something of its vitality on a large scale.

After the two of them put it together, they felt that this method was feasible and they could make a new attempt.

Lu Ao said: "Then I will try tomorrow. The double trawl net only destroys the seagrass and algae. It should not drag them all away."

"You try it first tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will go with you tomorrow night."

Lu Ao looked at him seriously and said, "You can come pick me up tomorrow afternoon, and we can teleport quietly to Minya Bay. You can see if my work is up to standard."

"You must be qualified. If you are not qualified, no one else will be."

Early the next morning, after the two had breakfast at home, Song Zhou took Lu Ao and teleported to the place agreed upon by Xiang Xingchang and the others.

Songzhou didn't come forward, he left as soon as he got nearby.

Xiang Xingchang and several volunteers were already waiting there, and the first thing they saw was the big ring on Lu Ao's hand.

Xiang Xingchang smiled mischievously, "Okay, Lu Ao, have you completely confirmed your relationship? You've already put on the ring."

Lu Ao's lips curved slightly, "It has been decided for a long time."

Xiang Xingchang immediately said: "After finishing today's work, we are going to have a drink together to celebrate you becoming a family."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Lu, this is a big happy event. When will you treat us to a wedding banquet?"

"Brother Xiao Lu, we don't have high demands. Just treat us to a hotel like Xining."

Lu Ao glanced at them, "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine per table at Xining Hotel. Isn't that price high?"

"Your love is stronger than gold. Brother Lu, don't worry, we will definitely give you a big red envelope when we go to have a wedding banquet!"

"How big is this big red envelope?"

"It's up to you to decide how big it is, and it will be as big as you want."

Everyone laughed and laughed for a while before getting into the van parked nearby.

They made a restoration plan yesterday, and today they brought the tools and went directly to Minya Bay to repair the corals.

Lu Ao is already familiar with coral planting. He has planted many corals and tried them under various conditions and environments.

The weather is calm here in Mingya Bay, and the water below is very open. The iron frame where the corals were planted before is still there, but it is not difficult to stick the corals on with glue at this time.

Lu Ao took action, and more than a dozen people helped, and by about two o'clock in the afternoon, they were all planted.

Everyone still has gas in their tanks, and it’s still early. After planting the corals, we simply patrol the area, check the surrounding environment, and see if we can find any clues to catch those guys using double trawls.

.

They were cruising around, and the more they looked at the surrounding environment, the more distressed they felt.

After landing, one of the middle-aged volunteers sighed: "These grandchildren are really lacking in virtue. We have such a good environment here, and if we originally raised it for three to five years, it might even become a new vacation area. They will be attracted by it."

With a double trawl, everything is ruined, not to mention that the seaweed won't grow anymore, and all the original seaweed has been dragged away."

The person next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhang, don't be too depressed. Of course there are those kind of evil guys in this world, but there are also volunteers like us, as well as the vast number of enthusiastic people. If we all work together, things will get better sooner or later."

Get up."

This was said with great skill, and the young man who spoke was warmly praised by everyone.

"Xiao Liu is right. Let's work hard and carry forward the spirit of Foolish Old Man who moved mountains. Even if our generation is not good, there will be another generation, and the next generation will get better sooner or later."

"Yes, don't be depressed. You see, more and more people are realizing the importance of protecting the marine environment."

"If nothing else, look at our volunteers. The team has been established for seventeen years. It has grown from nine people to how many people it has now, a total of three hundred and twenty-five! Do the math, these are thirty

Many times more."

Everyone comforted him verbally, changed out of their diving suits, walked back to the car arm in arm, and drove back to the city, saying they wanted to have a good celebration.

This time the wine was held to celebrate Lu Ao and Song Zhou becoming a family, and Lu Ao was naturally among them.

He has become familiar with this group of people and is no longer as aloof as before. Many people in the volunteer team can also talk to him and ask him to come out for a drink from time to time, even if he has never been out for a while.

As soon as they drank the wine, someone from the volunteer team asked: "The new year is here again. I wonder what special plans our team has for the new year?"

Xiang Xingchang said: "I just wanted to tell you that a few days ago, several rotation captains and I have made plans. In the new year, we will mainly focus on cleaning up marine garbage, especially the garbage floating in major sea areas.

Plastic garbage has a great impact on marine fish and seabirds, and we may need to rent a boat to clean it up."

If plastic waste is not cleaned up in time, once it is accidentally eaten by fish and seabirds, a life will basically be lost.

Everyone agreed, "This plan is feasible. Do we still have more than 230,000 yuan in our books? If we have this money, we can buy two speedboats."

"That's okay. I'll write it down first and bring it up at the next meeting for everyone to discuss together."

"In addition to cleaning up the garbage, does our team have any other plans?"

"Yes! Won't Professor Huang provide us with corals? Let's try to plant more corals in the new year to see if we can artificially plant a coral reef."

"Hey, this is a great plan."

Xiang Xingchang smiled, "That's right, we don't even look at the elites in the team."

"Brother Xiang, a team is a team, what about you? Do you have any special plans for the new year?"

"It's nothing. It should be the same as last year. If anyone is looking for it, I will go on a mission with them. If no one is looking for me, I will lead tourists and teach novice divers. Why, are you thinking of me for a big project?"

"Brother Xiang, do you think I have a big project?"

"Hahaha, I know you don't have it. You should go to work honestly this year."

As the conversation continued, the topic turned to Lu Ao.

Someone asked Lu Ao, "Brother Lu, what about you? Do you have any plans this year to help your brothers make a fortune?"

"Speaking of plans, I really have a rough idea." Lu Ao looked at them, "I kind of want to open a marine ranch."

Most people present had never heard of Sea Ranch and were a little confused when they heard this.

As they looked at each other, Xiang Xingchang reacted first. He asked Lu Ao, "What kind of marine ranch do you want to open, a large one or a small one?"

"It will be a large one. It will be mainly opened in the open sea. I need to see if there is a suitable place in the open sea first. I want to contract one."

"Then what is your purpose of opening a sea ranch?"

"Comprehensive type, I haven't thought about it yet."

When another person heard about this, he couldn't help but glared and said: "Hey, the cost is not small, and there is no profit in the initial stage. What do you want to do?"

Lu Ao said: "I made some money last year, and I want to do charity. Let's do half the charity and half the money. Let's see how we do it. It's just a prototype now and it's not finalized yet. There will still be a lot of procedures to go through."

Lu Ao was deeply shocked when he saw so many marine and wild animals on his way to Antarctica. He was not willing to go fishing like he did last year.

His fishing skills are indeed superb, but he cannot bear to rely on his own ability to satisfy his greed.

He just returned to the countryside last year and had no money or other things. He fished and sold fish to survive. This year he had more than 6 million yuan, so fishing again was unreasonable.

There are so many people here who are more or less related to marine fisheries, but they have never thought of doing marine ranching.

Marine ranching is too risky and uncontrollable, and the investment is huge. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. We are all ordinary people and do not have the courage to engage in this.

When I heard Lu Ao said that he was going to do it, even though many people were still skeptical, they felt like they had gained some knowledge.

Xiang Xingchang was the first to say: "This is a good thing. If you want to do it, we will definitely support you with both hands."

"Yes, yes, if you want to do charity, you can call us. I will definitely be willing to help."

Lu Ao raised his glass, "If there is anything I need your help with, I won't be polite. I would like to thank you all here in advance."

"Yes, we are all friends. If you are polite, if there is anything you can do to help, just say it."
