"One of the two sonar brands is a super large device. It's more complicated to install and adjust, but you only need two of them to cover the entire area of your private sea," Otehar said. Otehar said, "The other type is a small device. You can buy it directly, turn it on, and throw it into the sea. It will work normally, but the coverage is limited. I've looked at the area of Mr. Chen's private sea, and he needs about 15 of them. In terms of investment, the second type of device needs more money."
"What's the price difference?" Chen Zhao asked.
"The first one costs $15 million, so two will be $30 million," Otehar said. Otehar said, "The second one costs three million dollars. If you calculate it by 15 units, it will be 45 million dollars. Of course, with my relationship with the equipment manufacturers of these two brands, I can probably save you about 10%."
"Is the device that expensive? Can the fishery afford to store this thing? "
"Indeed. Other than a few fisheries, most small and medium-sized fisheries can't afford it. Their fisheries aren't even as valuable as the devices." Otehar smiled bitterly. "Even if large fishing boats have it, most of them only put it on the periphery of the fishery. Very few fisheries use it directly."
"But it's very effective against illegal fishing boats. Even if they come in a submarine, they can be discovered by the device."
"The price difference isn't a problem. I just want to know which one is better."
"In terms of coverage, the first type of two instruments and the second type of fifteen instruments have the same coverage. There is no difference. However, some fishing boats are very bold. If they know that there is such equipment in this area, it is very likely that they will send divers into the water to destroy the equipment. So, Mr. Chen, which one do you think is more difficult to destroy, two instruments or fifteen instruments?"
"In other words, it's better to buy 15 small devices, right?"
"When the price difference is no longer a problem, 15 small instruments are, of course, better than two big instruments. After all, it's quite troublesome to install and debug a big instrument. Moreover, once one of them malfunctions, half of the sea will be left unattended. Relatively speaking, 15 small instruments are, of course, safer."
"Okay, I'll order 20. I'll also put them on the periphery of my private sea area," Chen Zhao said. "Andrews, I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem, Mr. Chen," Andrews answered quickly.
Otehar was also very happy. After all, he could get a lot of commission from the purchase of the equipment.
"Mr. Chen, this is my name card. If you have any questions about the ocean in the future, you can call me." Otehar felt that it was necessary to maintain a friendly relationship with Chen Zhao.
"The last marine biologist I knew just stole something valuable from my house," Chen Zhao said jokingly. "That's right," Chen Zhao said.
"I know Nancy Kira." Otehar said, "Our research topics are different. Of course, this does not hinder his reputation in our industry. But please believe me, I may not be as good as him in terms of research topics, but my professionalism is definitely above his."
…
Nancy Chila was curled up on her bed at the moment.
He knew he was in big trouble this time.
He was charged with multiple offences.
If all these crimes were carried out.
Then he would have to stay in prison until the end of time.
He thought of an idea.
That was to use his reputation in the field of oceanography to find some peers to endorse him.
He could have them speak up for him in the media.
He might not be able to wash away all the crimes, but he could at least reduce many of them.
However, the few peers that his lawyer had contacted all rejected his request.
Even his lawyer dealt with him in a perfunctory manner.
Nancy Chila knew that this was most likely Chen Zhao's doing.
He'd originally thought that Chen Zhao was just rich.
But Chen Zhao was Asian.
Asians had always been honest in North America.
He felt that what he'd done was so secretive.
Chen Zhao couldn't possibly know.
Even if he did, he couldn't do anything if he didn't have evidence.
He didn't think that he would be exposed before he could even be happy for two days.
On the second and third day, more and more bad news came from the lawyer.
He heard that Chen Zhao had specially found an evaluation agency to evaluate and appraise the giant clam in order to deal a heavy blow to him.
Nancy Chila was an expert in marine biology.
So, he knew the value of the giant clam better than anyone.
It was not something that could be measured with money.
He knew it even better than the owner, Chen Zhao.
The giant clam was a priceless treasure.
Normal giant clams had a lifespan of around 100 years.
Occasionally, giant clams with a lifespan of 200, 300, or even longer would be discovered.
In 2007, Faye LB had discovered the largest and oldest giant clam to date.
According to the test, the giant clam was 500 years old.
Its weight reached 1,758 kilograms, and at the same time, it produced 27 pearls.
The inner wall of the carapace showed a jade-like phenomenon, which was similar to jade.
That was why giant clams were also called living gems. Almost every country forbade harvesting giant clams.
Nancy Chila had also studied marine crustaceans.
The giant clam's shell becoming jade-like was an exception, and it was almost impossible for a living giant clam to become jade-like.
But Nancy Chila knew that if the giant clam didn't die after its lifespan, it would produce some special substance that would make the giant clam's shell become jade-like.
Of course, that special substance could even obviously improve a person's body functions.
Nancy Chila called this special substance the perfect factor.
This was also the reason why he'd wanted to steal Chen Zhao's shark at first, but after discovering the giant clam, he'd suddenly changed his mind.
Because the giant clam was really too rare.
It was even at least half the size of the world record for the largest giant clam.
Nancy Chila felt that if he could extract the giant clam's perfect factor and then artificially synthesize it, not only would he obtain great wealth, he could even overturn the entire world.
But … but his dream had ended before it even started.
Chen Zhao had destroyed his dream, his hope, his everything.
That damned Asian!
He didn't understand how great his research was at all.
