The three of them slowly went underwater. Then Zhao Hai placed the plants on the bottom of the river. Then he began to mobilize the natural energy in his body to stimulate the growth of the plants. After the plants matured, he didn't stop the flow of natural energy. At the same time, the underwater plants grew rapidly. Soon, an underwater jungle appeared on the bottom of the river.
Zhao looked at the underwater jungle and nodded. "Yes, let the jungle grow naturally. Slowly, it will block the bottom of the river. And because this is the estuary, no one will fish here, so it won't affect the fishermen's income. Now we just have to wait for a few days, then we can carry out the final experiment." Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, let the jungle grow naturally. Slowly, it will cover the bottom of the river. And because this is the estuary, under normal circumstances, no one will fish here.
After he said that, Zhao Hai led the two to the riverside. After they reached the shore, the Dean of the Art Academy's Lighthouse Branch came over. His eyes shined as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, did you succeed?"
The Dean looked to be around 40 years old. This was the youngest Dean that Zhao Hai had seen. However, his strength wasn't bad. Although he was a bit fat and always had a smile on his face, he was very meticulous when it came to doing things. He was a rare talent.
Zhao Hai looked at the Dean and smiled faintly, "Dean, we still have to wait a few days before we can see it. Although the underwater jungle has grown, there's something else that hasn't been put in place. Therefore, the warning network isn't a success."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, the Dean couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what is this thing that you're talking about? What is it that hasn't been put in place? I'll immediately arrange for someone to look for it. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need to look for it. In fact, the warning network that I've set up can't be seen from the outside. Moreover, there's no need for people to look at it. As long as something enters the river, it will definitely react."
When the Dean heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but be curious, "Is it that magical? Sir, what is this thing? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's very simple. It's a fish, a type of fish that's unique to the river. This kind of fish might live in the estuary. Although there aren't many of them, they like to hide in the seaweed. If they're frightened, they won't dive into the water or hide in the seaweed. Instead, they'll swim upstream and then jump out of the river."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the dean couldn't help but be stunned. Then he said with a puzzled expression, "Mister, are you talking about the Jumping Fish? This is a very common fish at the estuary, but this fish is not only small, but also smells too fishy, so no one likes to eat it. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, it's this kind of fish. There are actually a lot of them, but they usually hide in the water plants and eat them for a living. A few days ago, when I was observing the plants, I found these fish. So I decided to use them to help this person's warning net." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
After speaking up to this point, Zhao Hai stopped, then he pointed to the river and said, "There's already a small underwater forest in the river. Moreover, there are a lot of seaweed growing in the underwater forest. Some of these seaweed are very popular with the Jumping Fish. In a few days, we can go and take a look. If the Jumping Fish really settle down there, then the warning network will be completed. You can imagine, if the Fishmen enter the Wenji Continent through the river and discover the underwater forest, what would they do? They would certainly go through the forest. If there are trees blocking their way, they might even cut them down. This would certainly alarm the Jumping Fish. And with the Jumping Fish's characteristics, they would certainly swim to the surface of the river and jump up. If only a small number of Jumping Fish do this, then it wouldn't be a problem. But if a large number of Jumping Fish do this, then it would mean that there's a situation under the water. At that time, everyone should be prepared to fight. "
When the dean heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then his eyes lit up as he thought of something. He immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, you might not know, but there's a fish tide in the river every year. These fishes will swim back to the river to breed and then swim back to the sea. According to what you said, when these fishes swim back to the river, wouldn't the Jumping Fish also jump up? Wouldn't that be a false alarm? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Dean, I've also thought about this problem. Dean, you've seen Jumping Fish before, but during the fish tide, have you seen any Jumping Fish? Jumping Fish aren't wary of other fishes. They wouldn't be alarmed even if fishes were to swim past them. Only things that don't often come out of the river, such as people or other things, would make them jump up in fright. And the Fishmen are the ones that don't often appear in the river. "
The dean nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, if it's successful, then wouldn't all rivers need to be transformed like this? Right, wouldn't the underwater forest grow more and more? Would it affect the fishing industry? Also, would they grow out of the water? If that's the case, then it would be the same as sealing the river. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he said, "I've already thought about this problem. Dean, you don't need to worry. The underwater forest will only grow in the vicinity. This is because the underwater forest has certain requirements for its growth. In other words, it must grow in a place where fresh water and seawater are mixed. Moreover, the trees in the underwater forest are also afraid of light. Because of this, they will only grow to about ten meters above the river surface. Therefore, Dean, you don't need to worry."
The dean let out a long breath, then he looked at Zhao Hai and then suddenly bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "You Qiang would like to thank Mister for everything that you've done for the Wen Ji Continent. Mister's achievements will certainly go down in history."
Zhao Hai quickly returned the courtesy and said, "Dean, you're too polite. At this time, the warning net hasn't been completed yet. We'll have to wait for a few days. If the Leapers live in the forest, then it means that the net has been successful. If they don't, then it means that the net is useless. Therefore, it's still too early to talk about achievements."
You Qiang shook his head and said, "Whether it's successful or not, everything that Mister has done should be remembered. Mister, let's go back to the city and rest for a few days. It wouldn't be too late to check the results in a few days."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go back to the city and rest for a few days. Everyone has been working hard these past few days. If this experiment is successful, then we can proceed to the next experiment."
When You Qiang heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare, "The next experiment? What experiment? If Mister's experiment is successful, then wouldn't that mean that the experiment has been completed? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, I'm not done yet. I want to set up a defensive perimeter in the sea. If the Fishmen really come, then we can alert the cities so that they can be prepared. Otherwise, if the Fishmen attack, then the cities in the continent can be prepared. But what about the coastal cities?"
You Qiang stared, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, can you really do it? If it's not possible, then forget about it. The coastal cities will be the first line of defense against the Fishmen. We'll do our best to improve their defenses. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. If it succeeds, then that would be great. If it doesn't, then it would just be a waste of time. Compared to the life and death of people, this doesn't mean anything."
When You Qiang heard Zhao Hai, his face couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration. He cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "This one wishes Mister success. No matter what Mister needs, just tell me."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. All of the experimental materials are ready-made. We're just doing some experiments that haven't been completed yet. In fact, the formation of the underwater forest has given me a lot of inspiration. I'm going to make further improvements to the underwater forest. This way, it can be used as an outpost to guard against the Fishmen."
You Qiang nodded and said, "Everything will be up to Mister. Mister, please. I've already prepared a banquet for Mister in the city. No matter what, Mister must participate." Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't decline, so he followed the group into the city.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai didn't stay in the city. He went to another laboratory by the sea and began another experiment. This time, the main purpose of the experiment was to plant the underwater forest in the sea and make it into an outpost. But this time, the underwater forest couldn't rely on the Jumping Fish to warn people. The reason why the Jumping Fish could be used to warn people was because there were a lot of people in the river. If a large number of Jumping Fish were to appear in the river, then it would certainly attract people's attention. However, this wasn't the case in the sea. There were a lot of people in the sea, so even if the Jumping Fish jumped out of the water, it wouldn't be discovered unless a ship passed by. Because of this, the underwater forest needed to be improved. This was tantamount to conducting a new experiment, the task wasn't small.
After five days of this experiment, Zhao Hai finally stopped. He followed Pu Li and Gong Yu to the riverside. Then the three of them directly entered the river. At this time, the riverside was filled with people, it wasn't any less than when Zhao Hai went down the river five days ago. You Qiang also appeared at the riverside. This was because he knew that five days ago, they were just sowing seeds. Now, it was time to harvest. Whether they would harvest a boat full of fish and shrimp or a boat full of useless garbage, it all depended on today.
Zhao Hai and the others dived into the water and looked at the small underwater forest. The forest was growing very fast, some small trees and grass had already sprouted. The aquatic plants were also growing very fast. Naturally, this wasn't because the forest was growing fast. Originally, it was also because they had digested the natural energy that Zhao Hai left in their bodies.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood to look at these things. His attention was now focused on the aquatic plants in the forest. Before long, they discovered a small silver fish that was less than the size of a palm. This discovery made Zhao Hai let out a long breath, he knew that he had succeeded. In fact, if they really wanted to set up a warning system, then the aquatic plants would be enough. However, Zhao Hai made an underwater forest, his main purpose was to protect the Jumping Fish and prevent them from being eaten by larger fish. Now, it seems like he had succeeded.
