Chapter 467: There are many treasures under the sea
In the area with many reefs in the Wailingding Ocean, Chen Zhengqian also saw another sea shell that is larger than Pinctada magnata oyster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tridacnus (pronounced "car ditch").
The Cootoni clams, also known as the great clams, is the largest shellfish in the world, reaching a maximum of 1.3 meters and weighing 900 kilograms. Moreover, the large clams have a very long lifespan, generally living for more than 100 years, and among shellfish, it can definitely be regarded as a long-lived animal.
Maybe you don't have any idea of the size of the big clams, but I'll give you a chestnut, a shell like this can be used as a bath for children.
Moreover, the closing power of the great clams is simply amazing, and some people have tried that the clams can break the iron chain of the anchor, how cruel!
However, Chen Zhengqian does not plan to catch it, although this thing is very valuable, and the meat is very delicious, known as "the most seashell", and is also listed as a national first-class protected animal, but Chen Zhengqian is still a little rare.
It's not good-looking, what's the use of eggs, it still takes up space in the Qiankun bag, it's better to keep space and put a few more saucers and bottles.
Although he didn't have much idea about the big clams, Chen Zhengqian turned around and became interested in another thing next to him.
Red coral.
It grows in coral thickets.
Red coral is also a national first-class protected animal, and it is also classified as fish, Chen Zhengqian has always thought that it came from stones.
Since ancient times, red coral has been regarded as a rich and auspicious thing, and in the Oriental Buddhist scriptures, it is also listed as the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. Westerners rank red coral, pearls and amber as the top three organic gemstones.
In fact, red corals are made up of polyps, grow very slowly, and are heavily influenced by the region, confined to places such as the Strait of the Bay and the Strait of the Foot Basin, as well as the Baltic Strait and the Mediterranean, so red corals are extremely valuable.
Jewelry made of red coral is extremely popular, and its value in the collecting world has risen in recent years, and it can be said that it is deeply loved by collectors.
Red coral is very valuable, and it is all sold on grams.
AKA red coral, which has the highest value and the darkest color, is worth between 500-2000/gram and is mostly produced in the footpot chicken and Duwan waters. The common red color on the market is called "sardine", which is mostly produced in Italy, and the price is between 200-300 per gram.
In addition, there is an orange-red MOMO, the price is 250-500/gram, and these are all depending on the quality.
This sea area is not far from the Duwan Strait, but it is not close, and Chen Zhengqian does not know why red coral appears. It may be located at a depth of about 100 meters at the bottom of the sea, and it is rarely reached by ordinary people, so it has not been discovered.
This thing is red and bright, and it really fits the Chinese's definition of auspicious wealth. It is no wonder that people like to wear jewelry made of red coral so much, in Chen Zhengqian's opinion, more beautiful than agate crystal.
So Chen Zhengqian did not hesitate to pick the two largest trees from among them.
But you have to be careful when you pick it. This thing pays attention to the quality, the adult red coral, the bigger the green, the more valuable, if a branch is broken, Chen Zhengqian will be distressed to death. When the time comes, put it on the shelf at home to ensure that a large number of visitors are blinded.
I wonder if Old Man Yu will have a heart attack when he sees this thing?
Dig up the red coral and put it in the Qiankun bag, there are a lot left, but they are all slightly smaller, so leave them to the destined people.
Treasure hunting under the sea is the mood of discovering the same delightful treasure from time to time. The world's greatest treasure is in this sea.
After all, the range that humans can explore is limited, and the commonly used exploration methods are artificial diving or sonar detection. However, Chen Zhengqian can explore a wider range of places than anyone else, and he has an advantage over others.
In addition, even if others find something valuable in the sea, they may have to hand it over to the state, and then exchange it for a bonus of a few hundred yuan and a small pennant or something.
However, he didn't have such concerns, and put the things he found directly into the Qiankun bag, who knows?
It can be said that a single water-repellent bead brought him is already an endless treasure trove!
Chen Zhengqian is very grateful, grateful to God, grateful to fate, grateful to himself, and even more grateful to everyone who has brought happiness to him in his life.
So you must live well!
As we go farther and farther, the sea here gets deeper and deeper, and the variety of fish gradually increases.
Large swaths of tropical fish swam past Chen Zhengqian, and they were colorful and colorful.
Chen Zhengqian also saw a beautiful tortoiseshell.
I guess you've heard of this kind of tortoiseshell. It is a type of sea turtle that is similar in appearance to ordinary sea turtles, but what is special is that its mouth is different from that of ordinary sea turtles, it is like an eagle's beak and has a distinct hook.
In addition, the tortoise shell on the back has a beautiful pattern, which is colorful, equivalent to a gemstone, and can be used as a jewelry sculpture and so on. As a result, hawksbill turtles have been hunted in large quantities and their numbers have plummeted, and they have become endangered and protected.
The so-called no buying, no killing, has been the case since ancient times.
The hawksbill turtle is also the only turtle that can swallow glass, but there is so much garbage at sea that it will die if you eat it.
The tortoiseshell in front of me is a big one, estimated to be about one meter and a half, and the huge turtle shell is shiny and beautiful. It was not afraid to see Chen Zhengqian, so it swam slowly in front of him.
Chen Zhengqian's mischievous thoughts arose, swam above the tortoiseshell, and landed on its back.
Frightened, the tortoiseshell shook its limbs and stirred the water.
However, Chen Zhengqian was firmly attached to its back, and he would not be thrown down by it at all.
The tortoiseshell gave up, shrunk its head and limbs, and fell directly to the bottom of the sea without moving.
Chen Zhengqian rolled his eyes, this is too cunning, forget it, don't play.
Kicking this guy hard, Chen Zhengqian continued to move forward.
Found an ironclad shipwreck halfway, it is estimated that it is a warship sunk in a modern war, Chen Zhengqian looked at it a few times and was not interested, there was a pile of broken copper and iron, and it was estimated that there would not be even bones and slag left in it.
Only the figure of the ancient merchant ship was not seen for a long time, and Chen Zhengqian was a little anxious.
Seeing that it was almost over, he called out the treasure hunt rat again.
"Xiaobao, help me find out if there are any shipwrecks around here. I've been walking for so long, so let's get excited about a boat. Chen Zhengqian said, I've been walking for so long, and the harvest is not big, compared to the entire ocean.
The treasure hunter crawled out of his pocket again, yawned, sniffed with his nose, pointed forward at eleven o'clock, and crawled back to sleep.
Chen Zhengqian was speechless, he hadn't been able to rest yet.
After getting the clues, Chen Zhengqian was not in a hurry, took out mineral water and dry food, ate a little first, and then hurried.
I hope I can find the wreck this time.
