Chapter 889 ** Snail

In fact, now several key points in the South China Sea have been occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, just like the layout of the opening of Go, a few sub-cloths, basically have laid the board, and the rest is not easy to play good cards even if it is a mediocre hand.

At this time, if you don't let the court and Zhao Ji have a sense of participation, it is called not being a person and not being an official.

Therefore, this gathering has another meaning, that is, the military, politics, and finance will occupy the situation of the city, and the possibility of subsequent changes, and make a deduction.

Everyone discussed the predetermined plan, made a detailed statement, and prepared to report to the imperial court and Zhao Ji in a few days, requesting "internal command".

Wang Shao couldn't think of these flowers, secretly praised Su You, in the end, you will be an official.

In fact, Su You's purpose in Jiaozhi is unknown to everyone.

The purpose of Su Oil was to use huge overseas interests to make the imperial court have to attach importance to shipping and maritime trade.

10,000 taels of gold, tens of thousands of catties of silver, hundreds of thousands of catties of tin, 3 million catties of steel, and countless rice ......

These things are not those jewels and ivory rhinoceros horns in the past maritime trade, these things are all strategic materials!

The Great Song Dynasty was a moderate dynasty, and its external aggressiveness was not as strong as that of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was not very good at shipping, but it also occupied Burma, opened a government on the island of Sumatra, and engaged in the old port propaganda and consolation division.

And if Da Song wants to do these things now, almost all of them are for nothing.

In the end, the problem that should come will definitely come, and countless people will be drawn by interests and set their sights on the place where the flower growers have never been put - the open sea.

This may change the increasingly conservative nature of this nation, continue to pick up the spirit of pioneering and enterprising thousands of years ago, and create new glories.

The rest of the things are handled by the elites, and there is no need for Su You to continue to worry about it.

Just like the current gathering, the bigwigs deduced the situation on the map based on military and political intelligence, but Su You took Shi Wei, slipped on a small boat, and went to the other side of the island to dive.

There was a steam engine on the boat, similar to the one on the Exocet, but with a more elaborate structure.

Because of the small size, a higher pressure must be used to provide sufficient power.

Therefore, this is a completely different high-pressure steam engine from the previous one, and a lot of ancillary facilities have been added, including external insulation layer of the cylinder, planetary gears, centrifugal governors, separate condensers, oil-moistened pistons, parallel motion connecting rod mechanisms, throttle valves, pressure gauges, etc., so that the efficiency of the steam engine has been increased to more than three times that of the original mine pumping machine.

Another feature is that it is all metal, unlike the mine pumping machine, there are some wooden structures, and the whole is full of steampunk style.

Putting the hose down, eight meters of hose, put it to the bottom, after a while, the water surface is still bubbling and bubbling, indicating that the power of the steam engine can resist the water pressure of eight meters and send the gas to the bottom.

Shi Wei changed the water in the canopy, Su You also changed into big pants, put on diving goggles for Shi Wei, pulled up the hose again, and began to practice breathing.

There is an air valve on the breathing head, which can adjust the amount of air to suit the person with different depths, and the excess gas will be discharged by the bypass.

That's all you can do now.

Shi Wei was not watery and a little nervous, Su You comforted: "Don't be afraid, Wei'er, I'll carry you down." ”

The two of them practiced breathing for a while, feeling that it was all right, Shi Wei nodded obediently, and then climbed onto Su You's back, put her arms around his neck, and made a ready gesture.

There was a lead plate on his waist, which was quite heavy, and Su You clumsily descended into the water, grabbed the anchor rope, and slowly dived into the water.

Shi Wei hugged Su You tightly at once.

Su You gently patted her thigh, signaling her not to be nervous.

Shi Wei's guts were not something Su You could imagine, and after experiencing a moment of panic, he was attracted by the magical landscape around him, and excitedly made a downward movement in front of Su You's diving goggles, signaling him to dive quickly.

Only then did Su You take the well-wound Diding Glue Speargun, opened it easily with one hand, and slowly dived along the anchor rope.

The waters of the reef are warm and clear, and as you dive, the surrounding colors seem to get darker and more colorful.

Nowadays, the sea is completely unpolluted, and the visibility in Halong Bay is generally more than 20 meters or more.

The pearl divers of the South China Sea, who have been diving since childhood, do not rely on any breathing equipment, and can dive underwater for several minutes.

However, because of the special structure of the human eye, their underwater vision is blurred until the flat glass diving goggles come out.

Today, for the first time, the mysterious sea has opened its arms to mankind, and its magnificent and colorful side is clearly displayed in front of visitors.

Shi Wei somewhat understood why Ping Zhengsheng was so fascinated by the bottom of the sea, the aquarium tank on the Flying Fish couldn't even catch up with the beauty of one percent here.

Countless colorful coral trees are filled with colorful fish, as well as strange-looking nudibranchs, anemones, conchs, sea urchins, lobsters, eels and octopuses......

The two finally dived to the bottom of the sea, Su You loosened the rope, took a tin can from his waist and opened it, and the bait inside floated out.

As if triggering a signal, the small fish around suddenly surrounded him.

Shi Wei excitedly stretched out her hand wearing didiene gloves, wanting to touch the bird-like fish, but every time she stretched out, the fish spread out like an explosion.

Shi Wei gestured excitedly, but unfortunately Su You was not a wooden guest, nor was he a sailor marine, so he could only understand half of it.

And he had to be vigilant all around, although sharks don't bite much, but what if?

Gradually, the big fish began to gather around, first a school of cute stone bream with black and white stripes, and then a group of larger barracuda with long beaks.

The barracuda head boiled soup and stewed tofu pot was a must, and Su You quietly aimed the speargun at the group of guys who were swimming slowly in front of him.

Shi Wei sensed Su You's intentions, waved her hand lightly in front of him, and then pointed to the coral bushes in front of her.

Su You looked at Shi Wei's fingers, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted when he saw it.

There is a huge conch there.

The big snail in front is catching scallops, the spiral tower is tall and pointed, the snail shell has dark brown and white crescent-shaped markings, and in the process of turning over, the bright orange shell mouth is revealed, and the pattern of the whole body is as gorgeous as the tail of a phoenix.

There are so many conch shells in the South China Sea, and Su You knows few people, but this big conch is the one he knows.

Because he saw it at the Great Xiangguo Temple.

**Spiral.

The conch of the Great Xiangguo Temple is five inches and two minutes long, and the great monk of Daolong blows it to the fullest, saying what "if you blow it, you will destroy the gods and rejoice, and when you hear it, you will destroy the obstacles." ”

What else do you say that in the fifth year of Jiayou, when the Dafu Linghu Temple of Wutai Mountain started to build the puja, the conch was used to play in unison with Gong Hou and Selu. The so-called "If you bless the snail, look at it from all high places, and blow it loudly, then the sentient beings of the four beings, hearing the sound of the snail, will destroy all serious sins, and they will be able to give up their bodies and wait to be born in heaven." ”

This conch is much bigger than the one in the Elephant Country Temple, and the length is more than a foot!

Let Shi Wei grab the rope, take a deep breath and spit out his breath head, swim over with his breath, grab the ** snail in his hand, turn around and shake like Shi Wei, Shi Wei obviously had a smile in the corner of his eyes, and then gave him a thumbs up.

It is rare to have a sport that can beat his wife, and when he was praised, Su You swam back proudly.

The first dive couldn't stay too long, so Su You put on Shi Wei again, and slowly followed the anchor rope, rising little by little.

After a safe stop underwater, the two surfaced.

Untied the lead block from Shi Wei's waist, Shi Wei jumped into the boat and pulled Su You up.

Su You didn't even care about taking off his glasses, holding the ** snail and laughing: "When I go back to Bianjing, I will swell the face of the great monk Daolong!" ”

Shi Wei said excitedly: "Brother Xiaoyou, the bottom of the sea is so beautiful!" It turns out that the Dragon Palace you told the flat jar is true! ”

After speaking, he reacted: "What does it have to do with the host of Daolong?" ”

Su You held the ** snail and couldn't put it down: "There is a conch in the temple of the great monk of Daolong, only five inches long, very precious, it is said that Sakyamuni was in the beginning of Sarnath, Emperor Shakti and others had dedicated a right-handed white conch to the Buddha, and since then the right-handed white conch has been widely used in Buddhism as a symbol of auspicious perfection. ”

"At that time, I told him that there are more precious left-handed conches in this world, just like the 10,000 characters in the Buddhist family, and the great monk Daolong didn't believe it when he was killed! Didn't you notice that this snail is left-handed?! ”

Shi Wei really didn't notice it, and she didn't know what the difference between the left-handed snail and the right-hand snail was.

Su You was excited: "This ** snail, after beating the old monk's face, he won't give it to him, and he will be sent to Yujin Garden to be displayed, I can't be angry with him!" ”
