The place name of Dalian is the pronunciation of "Dariin", which is Russian and means "far away".
The origin of "Dariin" was that Dalian was named according to the order of Tsar Nicholas after Dalian became a Russian concession. Because of its geographical location, it has always been open as a free trade port.
Dalian is a very special city in Northeast China. It is located at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning Province, on the coast of the Yellow and Bohai Sea, backed by the hinterland of Northeast China, and facing the Shandong Peninsula across the sea.
Compared with the cold Northeast climate, this city has a warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, with warm winters and cool summers, making it very suitable for human habitation.
And because it has the largest seaport in Northeast China and is rich in marine resources, it mainly trades seafood, and countless varieties of seafood are produced here every year.
After the reform and opening up, Dalian received strong support from the country. In addition, the city's scenery is very beautiful. Many wealthy people came to settle here, which promoted local economic development and increased the construction of many beautiful cities. It is said that every inch of land is now
Gold, house prices are already so expensive that people stick their tongues out.
The car drove all the way to Dalian city, passing many high-rise buildings, connected overpasses, prosperous commercial streets, and the atmosphere of a modern big city is distributed everywhere in the city.
However, their destination this time was not the coastal city, but a very remote small fishing village in the Bohai Bay area of Dalian - Wujiacun.
The car drove for a long time, and finally arrived at the destination when there were very few people around.
But here, all those modern buildings disappeared, replaced by a blue sea.
Lao Jiandou said in the car that although this place is remote, everyone knows about the seafood industry.
This place has been a famous fishing resort since ancient times. Countless fish and shrimps are produced here every year. Residents in the surrounding area have made a living by fishing for generations.
After the country's economic reform and opening up, many people became more lively, and several sea forks here were contracted by several large households.
As these large households grew bigger and bigger, they built fishing grounds and sales centers and started a modern seafood trading industry.
But the real work is done by the old fishermen living in the coastal area. Wujia Village is the oldest village here.
The terrain here is different from other coastal areas. Wujiacun is a continent that extends into the sea, just like a small island connected to the mainland.
The village as a whole is semicircular. From the plane, the edges are very neat, as if someone had cut off half of it.
There has never been a single dignitary in this village since ancient times, and there are no rich people. Every family is a solid fisherman, and they all make a living from the sea here.
After Lao Jiandou finished speaking, he started to make a phone call. He had contacted them before. As soon as they entered the village, the village chief Xiao Wu came to pick them up.
This Xiao Wu is a young man under 30 years old. He has a dark face and more ridges on his face than his peers, but he can tell that he is a very responsible person.
When Xiao Wu saw them coming, his face was not very enthusiastic, and he was even a little reluctant.
He nodded politely to Chen Zhi and the others, and then said to Lao Somersault unhappily:
"Uncle Jin, your expedition team has made a big fuss in our village!
Didn't you say you should just take a look and leave? Why did it end up causing such a big thing and losing so many foreigners?
Especially that female professor of yours is really unbearable. She is so nagging even though she is so old, and she says that there are some kind of mermaids and sirens here.
Let those young guys listen. Nowadays, these guys can use mobile phones and upload them all to the Internet. It’s not scary at all~~
Yesterday, officials from above came to our village and told us not to spread rumors online.
He also said that we should find a way to find all these foreigners, otherwise I would no longer be able to be the village chief!
Tell me about you. You didn’t say you were in such trouble at first. Now let me take the blame. When I became the village chief, I was young and disobedient. But now it’s better and I’ve made myself even more embarrassed!"
There was a very strong smell of oysters when Xiao Wu spoke. You really couldn't understand it if you didn't listen carefully. His tone was very interesting. He was really a native of Dalian.
Lao Jiandou quickly comforted him and whispered:
"Don't worry, haven't you seen that I brought a lot of people?
These are all capable people, and we are here to deal with these things!
Just keep your heart in your stomach. In short, no raindrops as big as soybeans will fall on you. Just take us into the village!"
Xiao Wu complained and got into the car. The car then continued to drive forward and drove along the narrow village road into the middle of the village.
After Chen Zhi got off the car, he found that there was a strong smell of sea everywhere, and everything he could see was related to the sea.
There are no new buildings here. Most of them are very dilapidated fishermen's houses. They look wet on the outside. There are fishing nets hanging at the door or rows of kelp. Some fishermen have large pots in their homes.
There are precious seafood.
The sea water here is indeed beautiful. In winter, the sea is not frozen and there is no pollution. The sea is blue and the sky is blue. You can see old-fashioned fishing boats on the sea.
Fishermen often jump off the boat and drag large fishing nets down.
They were basically young men, all of them had tanned skin and extremely strong bodies. It was obvious that they were all people who had been through the waves of the sea.
Different from the tourist areas, the seafarers here are very unkind. The coast is full of sharp gravels and dark rocks.
The waves on the shore were lapping "papa~~", stirring up waves on the black rocks. The children were running around there with bare feet, not afraid of the cold, and no one worried about being photographed by the waves.
I heard that the children of real sea people have the blood of the sea people and can swim when they are born. It seems that this rumor is really true.
Xiao Wu let them into his home, which was the most decent house in the entire Wu Village, a two-story building.
Although it is on the second floor, the first floor has basically been used as a warehouse. The ground smells of sea and I don’t know what was put there, so it is impossible to live in it.
The second floor is where people live. After they went up, they found Professor Liao and Yang Wumao waiting for them there.
Professor Liao had a sad face and was very excited to see them coming. Yang Wumao's first words after seeing Chen Zhi were:
"You are finally here!
Look at what you've done for us, it's really troublesome.
These foreign diving experts are all well-known people. If there is something wrong with them, we will be in big trouble this time.
My evaluation for senior professional titles next year will probably also be affected. Can you tell me if I am implicated by you..."
"Okay, stop talking!" Professor Liao scolded him harshly, turned back to Chen Zhi and Lao Somersault and said:
"I didn't tell you clearly on the phone! In fact, the situation here is very complicated.
There is definitely something wrong with the sea area ahead. You must have heard of the legend of the Siren in ancient Greece, right?
Once those ships and sailors touch some special areas, they will be attracted by the song of the siren, and then left there to be eaten..."
