"Sea fire? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
Li Yaolin searched and found that this was the "hydrangea" mentioned by Zhou Yingying.
However, the two seemed to be a little different: "hydrangea" refers to a type of marine plankton that emits cold light, while "sea fire" refers to the phenomenon that a large number of luminous plankton make the sea surface glow during the breeding season.
"It says here that the appearance of this phenomenon is often accompanied by earthquakes or tsunamis. If I release it, I'm afraid it will cause panic, right?"
Li Yaolin frowned, thinking that the system should not be so tricky.
She continued to browse the information and news she found, and suddenly found that this phenomenon has often appeared along the coast of Lingnan in the past two years. It is commonly known as "blue tears" and is said to be a "red tide" formed by Noctiluca scintillans, but these places have never experienced earthquakes or tsunamis.
Although this phenomenon sounds romantic, it is actually an ecological anomaly. Too much of this type of plankton will endanger marine animals in this area and affect fishery resources.
She naturally believes that the wonders produced by the system are harmless and pollution-free, but what if tourists don't believe it?
Li Yaolin didn't dwell on it for too long. She chose to end the day's operation on Xingzhou Island and quietly displayed the "sea fire" in the dead of night.
...
Five minutes passed, and Li Yaolin did not see the blue light on the beach. Just when she wondered if she had been fooled, the sea surface suddenly lit up with dots of fluorescent light.
It was white at first, and then it was like a colored liquid dripped into the water, slowly emerging orange, yellow-green, green, blue, red... Several colors mixed together, but there was no sense of chaos, like the aurora in the Arctic, and like the stars shining in the dark and boundless universe.
Ten minutes later, the fluorescence of the entire sea area reached its maximum brightness, bright enough to illuminate the scenery on the seabed. At this time, the sea was like a starry sky full of gems, and the dark sky was like the earth in silence.
The waves beat the reefs and beaches in a rhythmic manner, and when they retreated, they were unwilling to be lonely, leaving behind a whirring movement. Indistinctly, it seemed that the legendary mermaid singing was floating in the wind.
Li Yaolin stared at this scene in amazement.
It was not until the phone rang and the night security guard shouted in shock: "Boss, the sea, the sea is glowing!"
Li Yaolin came to his senses and pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, I saw it, calm down."
"Boss, this is a miracle!"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just the glowing seawater, it's normal."
The security guard: "..." He
is worthy of being the boss, he never gets surprised.
Influenced by Li Yaolin, he also calmed down: "Oh..."
After seeing that the pollution index of various scenic spots did not increase, Li Yaolin turned off the "Sea Fire". After another five minutes, the sea surface gradually returned to normal.
The "sea fire" produced by the system is indeed extraordinary. Judging from the fact that the pollution index of the sea area has not changed at all, it not only does not pollute the ecology, but also has a very dazzling and eye-catching program effect.
However, if this gets out, Xingzhou Island will probably be crowded with experts who study marine plankton.
Li Yaolin also found an interesting thing: the wonder "sea turbidity" is only suitable for display during the day, while "sea fire" can only have the best effect when displayed at night - but tourists are prohibited from staying overnight on Xingzhou Island at night.
Is this wonder useless?
In fact, it is not. The "sea fire" wonder was obtained after she built a holiday cabin and prepared to start operating hotel accommodation.
Generally speaking, there are too few entertainment projects on the island, and the developed area is small, so one day is enough to play. Even if there are holiday cabins, few tourists will stay overnight.
However, a visual feast like "Sea Fire" can only be enjoyed by those who stay overnight on Xingzhou Island. The appearance of "Sea Fire" will attract some tourists to stay overnight, indirectly solving the problem of occupancy rate of holiday cabins.
Li Yaolin praised the Poseidon Holiday APP: "The system is quite thoughtful!"
The response of the Poseidon Holiday APP was not as lively and spiritual as the little mermaid. It would only mechanically pop up a notification that she had ignored during the day:
"White Beach (Level 3) has met the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
Li Yaolin patted her head and said, "It turns out that the popularity of White Beach has exceeded 10,000?! I was so busy that I forgot to check it."
In the past, she could hold her mobile phone and look at it all day long, but as more and more projects were to be developed on Xingzhou Island, she had to deal with more and more things. Sometimes she might not have time to look at her mobile phone all day long. For this reason, she had to wear in-ear Bluetooth headphones frequently to let the little mermaid remind her of some work matters.
During this period, the little mermaid had already gone off work, so only the system would remind her to upgrade the project.
[White Beach (Level 3)]
Popularity: 11245/10000
Pollution Index: 10 (Level 1 Pollution)
Operating Cost: 8000 yuan/day
Li Yaolin was a little confused about whether to upgrade now, after all, White Beach is already very beautiful. Using the beauty effect as an analogy, its beauty level is already the highest, and even if it is not upgraded, its popularity will not decrease. Upgrading will increase operating costs, and diving projects are currently being developed, so it is difficult to spare so much money.
Moreover, the recent appearance of leatherback turtles has attracted the attention of many news media, and people from the government and the reserve headquarters have frequently come to inspect and investigate. It would be bad if the upgrade of White Beach made them find something abnormal.
The most important point is that the diving project has just been developed and it is time to promote it. If the upgraded White Beach is more interesting, wouldn't it overshadow the diving project? Everyone will go to the White Beach to play, who will come to dive?
In short, she decided not to upgrade the White Beach for the time being, and the focus is still on promoting the diving project and following up on the establishment of the reserve.
...
Except for Li Yaolin and the security guard on duty, no third person saw the sea fire last night. Long Feng and his colleagues were already resting at the time, and the security guard on duty also signed a confidentiality agreement and would not disclose the secrets of Xingzhou Island to the outside world, so he did not tell Long Feng and his colleagues.
The security guard did tell Lin Qiang and the others, and a group of employees said that he had photoshopped the picture and had not seen it with their own eyes. They absolutely refused to admit it, and they mainly regretted that they had not seen it with their own eyes.
After they got a positive answer from Li Yaolin, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, worrying about why they did not apply for the night shift last night!
Ticket seller & accountant: "...Oh, we don't have night shifts in the first place."
Is it too late to apply for the night shift now?
Li Yaolin comforted them with a smile: "You will definitely have the chance to meet him in the future, don't be too disappointed."
They have a high degree of conviction in the island owner and feel that everything the island owner says will come true. So after the morning meeting, they returned to their respective posts and started working. When it was
time for the little mermaid to go to work, it sent out a cheerful bubble text: "Good morning, island owner!"
"Morning." Li Yaolin raised the corner of his mouth and hung a Bluetooth headset on his left ear.
Little mermaid: "There is an email from the magazine in the island owner's mailbox!"
Li Yaolin turned on the computer and said: "As a little assistant, you are getting more and more competent now!"
The little mermaid said proudly: "This assistant is already very competent!"
Li Yaolin did not comment on this. She opened the email and found out that the proof of the issue of "Departure·Our Trip" had been released, and Editor-in-Chief Shen asked her to take a look first.
It must be said that Editor-in-Chief Shen gave Li Yaolin a lot of face. The cover of this issue is the white sand beach of Xingzhou Island. The photographer not only showed the cleanliness of the beach and the leisure of tourists through a photo, but also depicted the harmonious relationship between man and nature through the seabirds in the photo.
As for the title "Xingzhou Island, the Holy Island of Love (Part 1)", it can be seen that it was given by Editor-in-Chief Shen based on his own experience, but it was so corny that it made Li Yaolin's scalp numb.
What the hell is the Holy Island of Love?
Xingzhou Island is just an ordinary, ordinary island, and it has nothing to do with love or anything like that!
Li Yaolin calmed down and thought, maybe this "love" refers to the great love for the country?
So she turned to the two pages about Xingzhou Island. After reading the content above, she sighed that "Departure·Our Journey" is indeed a magazine that focuses on natural landscapes and human stories. It does not highlight various transportation, accommodation and food like travel guides, but shares what the protagonist sees and hears on Xingzhou Island by describing emotional stories.
Of course, if it is just a simple emotional story, there is no need to publish it in a travel magazine. It may be more popular to directly submit it to magazines such as "Reading Z", "Knowing Y" and "Story H".
So half of the space here quietly describes the mystery of Xingzhou Island, which makes people curious after reading it:
Why did the green sea turtle change its migratory habits and choose to live and lay eggs on Xingzhou Island?
What charms on the island make anglers arrive on the island more punctually than clocking in for work?
How are the seaweeds on the island formed?
How was the red-footed bonito, a national second-level protected animal, discovered?
While writing the touching story of himself and his wife, Editor-in-Chief Shen used skillful writing and vivid descriptions to show the beauty of Xingzhou Island, while leaving suspense to arouse the curiosity of readers.
Li Yaolin: "..."
It's good, but if she's not mistaken, this "holy island of love" is really the love of "love"!
She looked left and right, and felt that this article revealed a message: Xingzhou Island has magic, and you can regain a beautiful first love here.
Does the magazine also have a KPI to reduce the divorce rate?
"No one should think so, right?" Li Yaolin felt that she was overthinking.
She replied to Editor-in-Chief Shen and expressed her gratitude to him again.
Editor-in-Chief Shen did not see her email until the next day. After thinking about it, he simply called her.
He said on the phone: "If the island owner really wants to thank me, why not tell me some more of the latest news about Xingzhou Island! After all, a lot of things have happened since the end of the interview last month to the publication now."
"Is Editor-in-Chief Shen preparing for "Xingzhou Island, the Holy Island of Love (Part 2)"? " Li Yaolin paused when she mentioned "The Holy Island of Love".
"Yes, there are too many things I want to write about. I feel that I can't finish them in one issue, so I discussed it with the leader and decided to divide it into two issues." Editor-in-Chief Shen said.
There is actually another reason. Recently, Xingzhou Island has been frequently featured in official media, and even the relevant departments of the provincial government have heard of it. So the leaders of the magazine decided to keep up with current affairs. After all, they are advertising Xingzhou Island for free, so it is mutually beneficial!
Li Yaolin agreed: "Of course, no problem. I will compile these and send them to you."
When the call was about to end, Li Yaolin hesitated for a moment and asked awkwardly, "Editor-in-Chief Shen, is the title of 'The Holy Island of Love' too exaggerated?"
"Is it exaggerated? I don't think so! I think Xingzhou Island deserves this title." Editor-in-Chief Shen is a rational person, but he was really emotional during that trip to Xingzhou Island.
Afterwards, he and his wife Director Zhang thought this was a very magical phenomenon. It was as if they had regained their sympathy and found the feeling of first love.
Li Yaolin: "..."
Okay, as long as you are happy, but I, a heartless person who does not know what love is, find it difficult to understand this kind of feeling.
What Li Yaolin did not expect was that on the day the magazine was published, Xingzhou Island became popular in the Little Green Book as a "holy place for healing emotional damage"!
The author has something to say:
Employee: Boss, the sea is shining!
Island owner (trying to stay calm): These are just small scenes, sit down!
