This gave Chen Yuan another feeling of getting rich overnight.
But in Furang'a Atoll, there is no place to spend money.
Whether it’s eating, drinking, or refueling the yacht, the Lagoon Resort doesn’t accept money from Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi.
Live the quiet and indifferent days day by day.
It's late July.
Yan Xiaoxi continued to trade the stock market.
I cashed out 800 million before and still have 157 million left in my account.
The stock market is still rising, but it is no longer as crazy as April and May. But in a few days, 157 million was short-term, and the funds in the account have rolled to 199 million, just shy of 200 million.
Chen Yuan goes to Navutu Atoll every day to scuba dive, clean up starfish, and observe clams in the lagoon.
Giant clams that have been nourished with spiritual energy will grow very quickly.
But spiritual energy is limited and cannot be used without restriction. Chen Yuan used very little spiritual energy to conduct experiments...
It's after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Yuan was cleaning up starfish in Navutu Atoll, and Zhou Sheng was on a sailboat, bringing a group of tourists with diving certificates over.
Diving in Navutu Atoll is now a popular business in the lagoon resorts.
Zhou Sheng shot many underwater videos of Navutu Atoll, attracting tourists from all over the world.
Zhou Sheng saw the yacht floating on the sea, but saw no one. He came over on a jet ski...
Chen Yuan heard the sound and waved to Zhou Sheng while carrying a large net bag.
"Are there more starfish today?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"It's not a little more, it's a lot more," Chen Yuandao said.
The starfish infestation in the Lau Islands has made international news. The huge number of starfish has caused fatal damage to the coral reefs. Starfish like to live in coral reef waters. There is no special way to catch starfish in such waters. It is to dive and catch them by hand.
There are even people posting online campaigns to save coral reefs.
Nowadays, many diving enthusiasts gather in the Lau Islands and spend all day diving and fishing for corals.
There are also many diving enthusiasts in the lagoon resort. There are two diving trips to Navutu Atoll every day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon... There are still a lot of participants.
There are a lot of starfish in the Navutu Atoll, and there are many starfish in the nearby Wulai Atoll and Furang'a Atoll where they live. But there are fewer starfish than in the Belau Islands.
Navutu Atoll is too big. Chen Yuan comes here every day to clean dozens or hundreds of kilograms of starfish. There are still a lot of them. Especially some small starfish...
Even if divers come to help, they still can't stop the sharp increase in the number of starfish.
Zhou Sheng drove Chen Yuan back to the yacht on his motorboat and said, "More than thirty people are coming today. Come dive with us and help pay attention to underwater safety."
"OK."
When these tourists come to dive, they will also help catch starfish. The more people there are, the more powerful they are.
Chen Yuan's Riva 27 was piled with seventy or eighty kilograms of starfish. He started the yacht and arrived at the Ganoderma Coral Sea in the atoll.
There is a large coral colony here that resembles Ganoderma lucidum, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters. The water here is seven to eight meters to twenty to thirty meters deep...
While waiting for the sailboat to arrive, Chen Yuan also put on a diving tank. Don’t be too arrogant when diving with a group of people.
This group of diving enthusiasts is mostly white, mostly from New Zealand and Australia. There are also domestic tourists, only six of them.
Everyone has put on diving equipment and is in groups of three to seven people, ensuring that each group has a dive master.
There are patches of coral in the shape of Ganoderma lucidum on the bottom of the sea. The coral polyps stretch out their tentacles, changing their appearance to be gorgeous, beautiful, and particularly fantastic.
People who come here for the first time are basically shocked by the underwater scenery.
Everyone dived into the bottom of the sea, enjoying the beautiful scenery and cleaning up starfish at the same time.
Today's starfish are small in size, only one is about six to seven square meters. Such small starfish and their distribution will not have much impact on the corals of Navutu Atoll in the short term. But as the starfish grow and gather, it will cause
The destructive power is terrifying.
In the Lau Islands, large areas of coral reefs are now destroyed by starfish.
Chen Yuan went to the deep water area with five people. Several of them had rich diving experience...
Several people were filming diving videos and cleaning up starfish.
Suddenly there was a sound of "嘘嘤". Entering the deeper waters sloping down the hillside, a large killer whale swam over.
The divers following Chen Yuan were nervous and excited. They knew that there were killer whales in Navutu Atoll. One of them stayed at the lagoon resort for five days, and the diving tourists who came here every day also saw killer whales...
He only saw it from a distance and had no chance to get close to him. However, he heard from other tourists that the killer whales in Navutu Atoll are particularly close to humans...
The mother orca at the front had a deeper cry. When she saw Chen Yuan and the others from a distance, she was about to turn around.
Chen Yuan had not seen a killer whale for two days, so he took off his breathing mouth and waved his hand...
Xiao Wu spotted Chen Yuan and called out happily. Then the mother orca turned her head and swam towards here.
Chen Yuan smiled and untied the diving bottle, and went over to tickle the orca mother. This giant creature was particularly docile in front of Chen Yuan...
Waiting for the orca mother to enjoy herself and leave, Xiao Wu swam over and rubbed her head against Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan also scratched it, and Xiao Wu screamed happily.
The tourists behind were stunned and used action cameras to record the scene.
Chen Yuan came up, and six killer whales followed. Through the sunlight, several tourists looked at the beautiful scene above them, and they were so excited that they almost peed.
Chen Yuan played with these killer whales for a while and patted their bodies.
These killer whales seemed to understand what Chen Yuan meant, and went to the deep water with some reluctance.
Chen Yuan returned to the bottom of the sea and put an oxygen bottle on his back. One of the tourists patted him and pointed to the sea. He followed a group of people to the surface...
"Hey, man, those killer whales...can we get up close and personal with the killer whales? You were so cool just now."
"They were entangled in fishing nets before, but I saved them. They know me." Chen Yuandao: "If you are not familiar with them, it is best not to get too close. If those big guys are angry, they are not easy to mess with."
"It's such a shame."
A pod of killer whales has called Navutu Atoll home.
Although killer whales occasionally leave the atoll to hunt outside, they will return to the atoll later...
Moreover, killer whales live in atolls for significantly longer periods of time.
The street kids in the ocean have super high IQs and are quite easy to play with.
Return to the bottom of the sea and continue picking up starfish.
There is strength in numbers, and when one cylinder is used up... hundreds of kilograms of starfish accumulate on the sailboat.
Chen Yuan returned to the yacht.
Zhou Sheng also came over to Chen Yuan's yacht: "Go to the mangroves to get some crabs."
Chen Yuan started the yacht: "How is the discussion on Fulang'a Atoll going?"
"The negotiations are almost settled, but the negotiations on Wulai Atoll have not yet been completed," Zhou Sheng said.
