Chapter 37 Let's go! Let's have some fun!
At the entrance of the booth, Qin Zheng glanced at the exhibition layout map, pointed to the maritime equipment exhibition area, and said to the student beside her:
"You two go to the land equipment exhibition area and see if there is any suitable land greenhouse equipment."
"I'm going to the maritime equipment exhibition area to see if there are any suitable buoys or underwater vehicles. If you find any, please take a picture and send it to me."
"Understood!" Upon receiving the instruction, the two students turned and left, plunging into the land equipment exhibition area.
Qin Zheng, who stayed where she was, studied the exhibition layout map for a while before plunging into the maritime equipment exhibition area.
After browsing the exhibition area, he walked over to a booth that looked promising, picked up a positioning buoy from the booth, examined it in his hand, and then casually handed it to the staff member in front of him.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if we have any positioning buoys with underwater cameras here?"
Upon hearing this, the booth staff remained silent for a moment before immediately carrying over a black object that was about 50 centimeters long and about 20 centimeters in diameter from the other side of the booth.
After placing the device on the table, the staff member smiled and asked, "Sir, you've requested an underwater vehicle, haven't you?"
"No, it's a locating buoy!" Qin Zheng put down the locating buoy in her hand, pressed her left hand on the buoy, and her right hand on the unmanned underwater vehicle, explaining gently:
"Here's the thing, I'm the director of the Fisheries Research Institute at Ocean University, and we're trying to make a breakthrough in the artificial breeding and hatching technology for eel fry."
"Since you're involved in maritime equipment research, you should understand the growth process of eels."
"We recently found a sea area where Japanese eels concentrate on spawning, and this period happens to be the eel spawning season. Therefore, we need a unique set of equipment to monitor the real-time spawning of eels on the seabed, so as to understand what changes occur during the spawning process."
"Then we can use these to break through the process of large-scale artificial control of eel sexual maturity, spawning, and hatching."
"My vision for this equipment is that it consists of two parts. One part is a positioning buoy that floats on the sea surface. This positioning buoy will be equipped with a positioning system and a signal transmission system, so that we can receive data from the positioning buoy in real time."
"The other part is the underwater monitoring equipment, which is connected to the positioning buoy via cables."
"We can monitor the underwater eels in real time and record this data. Then, through cables and positioning buoys, we can receive the monitoring data in real time."
"This is the kind of device I want!"
After hearing his explanation, the booth staff member looked enlightened, then shook their head: "That's a bit difficult!"
"We have also conducted research on agricultural and marine equipment, and equipment related to eel fry production is naturally among them."
"I understand what you're saying, but frankly, this request is a bit difficult."
"Eels have a long spawning period, starting in June and estimated to continue until mid-September. This means the equipment will need to be submerged in water for at least three months."
"The power source for the positioning buoy is relatively easy to solve, but the power source for the monitoring equipment below is not."
"If you change the battery every day, you can't guarantee that the device will be sealed, and it won't even last three months before it breaks down."
"In addition, the cables connecting the monitoring equipment and the positioning buoy are also difficult to handle."
"The monitoring equipment is underwater, and the positioning buoy is on the surface. Every time there is a storm at sea, it's like these two devices are being pulled on the cables."
"We can guarantee the quality of the equipment, but we can't guarantee that the cables will still be usable after three months of stretching."
"The only solution is to make the positioning buoy bigger and install enough solar panels on it so that the solar panels can generate electricity in real time to ensure the operation of the equipment."
"The problem is that Japanese fishing boats frequently appear in the waters where eels spawn, and the positioning buoys with solar panels are easy to spot. Once the Japanese fishing boats spot them, they will definitely try to destroy them."
"Moreover, you can't possibly guard every single buoy; when you calculate it all, the cost is very high."
The explanation from the booth staff made Qin Zheng involuntarily frown.
Japan is a major producer and consumer of eels.
China is a major producer of farmed eels.
The two sides have a natural conflict of interest regarding eel profits.
The other party will 10000% sabotage it!
But this is something that must be done, because currently, eel farming in China basically involves using nets to wait near the estuary, and once the eel fry that have grown into glassy larvae appear, they are scooped up in a net and put into fish ponds for further cultivation.
If we can break through the barrier of eel spawning, then we can achieve true full-chain eel farming.
By then, the entire global eel market will belong to China.
Japan, Japan is just a roadside road, let's just eat a bowl of eel rice and hit the road!
pity……
Eel spawning is still uncontrollable...
Thinking about how difficult this path would be, Qin Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He gave the staff at the next booth an apologetic look before heading to the next booth to ask.
I had just taken a step when my phone beeped a few times, indicating that a message had arrived.
He took out his phone and found that it was a message from the two students he had just sent out.
Flipping back, I found that the first message was a photo.
Below this photo are text messages sent by two students.
"Teacher, come quick, there's something fun here!"
"Teacher, come quick! There's metallic hydrogen here, and batteries with a unit energy density of 7.1 kWh per kilogram. It's quite a commotion over here."
"Teacher, hurry up and come over, or you won't be able to squeeze in."
"Teacher, I'll livestream the whole thing for you!"
Looking at the continuous stream of messages, Qin Zheng frowned, her face contorted into a bitter expression.
Although his purpose in attending the exhibition was to find equipment, he knew very well that such equipment was hard to find, and even if he found something similar, it would require the manufacturer to customize and modify it.
It cannot be accomplished overnight.
So, compared to this fun, this task can be put on hold a little longer. Anyway, the exhibition lasts for three days, and it's only the morning of the first day. It's not a big deal to have some fun.
So what if I have to work overtime in the afternoon, at night, or even all night?
Having convinced herself, Qin Zheng recalled the exhibition hall layout map from earlier, turned around and walked towards the land equipment display area, platform 134.
Before he even got close, he saw a huge crowd gathered around the booth.
People in front of me were taking pictures with their phones, and people behind me were also taking pictures with their phones. The flashes were going off, the shutters were clicking, and there was a cacophony of voices, which was quite irritating.
Seeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes.
We arrived too late to squeeze into the core area to see the fun.
He pursed his lips, turned and walked to booth number 130, leaned against the edge of the booth, and asked the staff at booth number 130:
"What's going on over there?"
