Chapter 88 Sea Mines
"Lin Yue, come up quickly, there are a lot of sharks attracted here, hurry up."
"Auntie, come up quickly."
"Rope, hurry up, grab the rope, Lin Yue, grab the rope and come up quickly. We need to get out of here quickly. It's too scary."
After the knife was cut, a lot of blood splattered, and soon the surrounding sea was dyed red.
This will attract enough sharks. Lin Yue nodded with satisfaction, jumped, swam quickly towards the boat, grabbed the rope and climbed up. All this happened in a few breaths.
"Aunt, this is too dangerous. You're going to scare me to death."
Lin Lang hugged Lin Yue tightly, his body trembling slightly, which really scared her.
Lin Yue did not discuss or remind anyone before jumping down. The moment the shark opened its mouth, she was really desperate and regretted why she came out.
"Well, it's just a shark, what's there to be afraid of? You're still too timid."
Lin Yue patted Lin Lang's back to comfort him while watching the changes on the sea.
Countless sharks were attracted by the smell of blood and swam over quickly, wanting to participate in this feast!
"Brother Xuan, quickly leave this place and drive 500 meters away. Let's all see what ferocious sharks are, so you don't get foolish enough to provoke them."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, the shark that was originally flapping its wings forward was bitten by several nearby sharks. The smell of blood spread further, attracting more marine predators.
"Ah! This is too cruel!"
Lin Daxuan steered the boat away from the scene of the incident, but everyone standing on the deck saw it.
Originally, it was just the tiger shark that Lin Yue had injured, but there were so many predators attracted by the smell of blood that they were crowded together. The smell of blood stimulated them, and no matter what was in front of them, they would bite it. The shark that was just here to take advantage was attacked, so of course it had to retaliate.
They attack each other, the smell of blood becomes stronger, and more predators are attracted. The battlefield expands from the original three or two kittens to hundreds, and even thousands or tens of thousands of them gather together, forming a bloody battlefield.
Everyone who came out this time was stunned. They watched the battlefield expand, and in less than a quarter of an hour the smell of blood was about to spread over.
Cheng Hui grew up on the battlefield, but he had never seen such a bloody scene, so he swallowed.
"Is this really okay?"
Seeing the battlefield getting bigger and bigger, I am really afraid that it will attract large marine creatures.
Lin Yue pondered for a moment. It was true that this would easily attract top predators like whales. The fish in this range were enough for the whales to digest for several days.
"As you can see, you must not get injured in the sea. The slightest smell of blood will attract marine creatures, especially if you encounter a shark.
If you are not sure, don't go up and fight hard. It doesn't matter if you die, but it will be your fault if you implicate everyone on the ship.
"Brother Xuan, keep moving forward. If you see any large fish, stay away. They're all heading this way. If you fall behind, you'll have nothing to eat. The ocean is ever-changing, so we must be prepared for danger at any time!"
It was like a meat grinder scene. The strong smell of blood made everyone unable to hold back their physiological reactions. They retched and their minds were filled with the image of the sea dyed bright red.
It took a long time for everyone to recover.
"Are all these sea creatures brainless? Why would they go forward knowing they'll become food?"
"When the wild beasts in the mountains realize they're outmatched, they'll retreat. They're only interested in food, not their lives!"
"It's such a pity. I don't know what shark fin, the delicious thing Lin Yue mentioned, tastes like."
Someone blinked and said regretfully.
This person has such a big heart, he never forgets to eat.
The first thing that came to everyone's mind after hearing this was whether he was also thinking about food when he was running away. Maybe the thing he feared most in this life was not having food!
“It is said that fish only have a memory of seven seconds. Compared to land creatures, they are indeed much more clumsy and driven more by the instinct of survival, which is why they are more bloody and brutal.
What you see today are only the obvious dangers, and you just need to avoid them. The invisible dangers at sea are the most terrifying. What we need to do is to understand the ocean and leave as much information as possible for future generations.
Now that we have settled on the island, we need to develop better, understand the ocean better, and conquer it so that future generations can live better."
Lin Yue explained the purpose of this trip, which is also the responsibility of being a member of the family.
"This ocean is all water. Besides fish, are there any other resources?"
Everyone really knew nothing about the sea, and all previous decisions were made under Lin Yue's guidance.
In fact, after Da Gan was overthrown and the new emperor came to the throne and issued a general amnesty, some people felt a little regretful. They had to buy everything on the island. Every day, there were only these people, and there was no novelty. If they wanted to build any larger project, they had to go to other countries to hire people.
"Of course, the ocean occupies four-fifths of the world, so its resources are certainly no less than those on land.
It's easy to mine resources on land these days. Money and connections can buy everything. However, resources on land are limited. After all, things like iron ore and coal are mined from the ground and mountains. Have you ever thought about where they'd find more resources once everything on land was mined?
Lin Yue asked back, these questions had never been thought about by these children from aristocratic families before.
Lin Daxuan, Cheng Hui, Jian Xiaocheng, Chen Xiaoxiao and others were silent. They didn't know the answer to this question. They had never thought about it before, even though they had mined.
"Aunt, I'm afraid it won't be possible to dig it all up. The land is so big."
Lin Daxuan spoke cautiously in a low voice. He really couldn't imagine what the situation would be like after all the iron mines, gold mines, copper mines, etc. were mined.
"There's a certain amount that will be mined, and as more and more people come, the more they use it, the less it will be.
For example, let's say our family has 100 million taels of gold. It sounds like a lot, doesn't it? If we only spend and don't earn, we will use it, and our descendants will also need it. Can you calculate how many years it can last?
When the money becomes very little, or even gone altogether, do you have to find a way to make more money?
When the resources on land are exhausted, their eyes will definitely turn to the sea. We are ahead of them now, so we must seize this advantage and occupy as many resources as possible."
"But the ocean is all water. Even if there are resources underneath, how can we mine them? How can we detect the presence of minerals underneath? After all, according to what you said, the ocean is very vast."
