Referring to fig. 1C, in some embodiments, the length L1 of the first tether 120 between adjacent spaced points of the plurality of links 130 is greater than the distance D between the float array float positions and less than the length L2 that causes the float array float between adjacent spaced points to tear. For example: the distance D between the floating body array floating body positions between the adjacent spaced points can be 1.6m, the floating body is made of plastic materials and can be damaged after being stretched for a certain length under stress (for example, the length L2 of the floating body array floating body between the adjacent spaced points can be 1.7 m), and the length L1 of the first rope between the adjacent spaced points of the plurality of connecting points 130 can be 1.65m, so that the floating body array can be slightly loosened in a normal state, and the floating bodies of the floating body array between the adjacent spaced points can normally float; when the floating body array is in a special state (such as meeting storms and the like), the floating bodies of the floating body array are stressed and stretched, and the first ropes between the adjacent spaced points are also tensioned, so that the distance between the floating body array floating bodies of the adjacent spaced points is limited within 1.65m, and the floating body array between the adjacent spaced points is prevented from being torn.

In some embodiments, the fixed connection point between the second ropes may be the same as the connection point of the plurality of connection members, that is, one connection member may be used to connect a plurality of different second ropes and fixedly connect the plurality of different second ropes to each other, which may improve the strength of the floating body array, reduce the use of the connection member, and reduce the construction cost of the floating body array. In some embodiments, the first rope and the second rope may be fixedly connected, so that the first rope and the second rope may form a whole to form a tear-proof net array, and the tear-proof net array may be fixed on the floating body array by using the connecting member, so as to reinforce the floating body array against damage of wind and waves. In some embodiments, the fixed connection point between the first and second cords may likewise be the same as the connection point of the connecting member.
