When Chen Zhengqian simply washed the items he had just dug up with seawater, he finally revealed its true appearance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It seems to be a seashell, but the size is a little big, and it is the first time Chen Zhengqian has seen such a large seashell.

"Snails?" Chen Zhengqian was stunned.

Snail mussel is a common name, and all shellfish similar to pearl mussels in my hometown can be called snail mussels.

However, the general snail mussel refers to the river mussel. This one is obviously a sea shell, but I don't know what species it is.

There are countless varieties of shellfish in the sea, and the number of shellfish in the South China Sea alone exceeds 250 species, with different shapes.

Moreover, many seashells have become scarce because of salvage and collection, and they are gradually listed as marine protected animals.

Having said that, the baby that Xiaobao said shouldn't be this thing, right?

Chen Zhengqian looked at the treasure hunting mouse, and it also looked over and nodded quickly.

It seems so.

Looking over and over again, I didn't see anything special, and there was a lot of silt on the shells, which was not necessarily beautiful, and it belonged to the category that had no ornamental value anyway.

Shellfish are mainly divided into edible and ornamental, edible shellfish mainly include large horseshoe snail and fence snail, etc., widely distributed, easy to catch, high yield, delicious flesh, belong to the economic type of sea shells.

In addition, ornamental seashells include nautilus, spider snail, tabby snail, etc., most of which are "native products" of the Nansha Islands. ”

If it's really a treasure, then the biggest possibility is what is hidden inside.

Say, for example, pearls.

Chen Zhengqian estimated that this one in his hand should be Pinctada granda, and only Pinctada grandis oyster would have such a large size.

The common Pinctada maxima oysters are 25 cm and 3-4 kg, while the larger ones are more than 30 cm and weigh 10 kg.

And Chen Zhengqian has this in his hand, even if there is no 10 kilograms, it is estimated that there are still 8 kilograms, and it is a well-deserved giant pearl shell.

With so many Pinctada magnata oysters, it is estimated that they have lived for many years, and there is a high probability that they are pregnant with pearls.

Generally speaking, seashells rarely give birth to pearls, because unlike cultured pearl oysters, dozens of beads can be artificially placed into them. But it's not impossible, everything is possible, especially for Pinctada grandis oysters like this one that has lived for ten or twenty years.

It cannot be ruled out that during the opening of the shell, one or two pieces of sand fall into the outside, and then slowly grow into pearls.

If there are pearls in this sea shell, then it makes sense. Pearls meet the criteria for treasure hunters to judge treasures. Moreover, the value of sea pearls is much higher than that of ordinary cultured pearls.

Pearls are precious to pearls, and pearls are the most valuable in pearls. Not only is it the largest, but the color and quality of the pearl are the best choice among the many pearl oysters, and the color is brilliant and charming.

Do you want to open it and take a look?

Chen Zhengqian thought about it, let's open it.

Although Pinctada maxima oyster is listed as a national second-class marine protected animal because of its small number, since it has fallen into its own hands, it is a protected animal of several levels.

I'm a little excited, it's the first time I've taken pearls live. Raising the Longquan Sword, he cut directly at the closed opening in the middle of the shell, and forcibly cut the Pinctada Grande oyster. Then break it vigorously to directly break Pinctada grande in half.

Sure enough, there were pearls in it.

Chen Zhengqian counted it, there were so many nine, and each one was as big as a thumb, round and shiny, which was surprising when he looked at it.

Ordinary seashells, two or three in the body is already very good, this pinctada oyster actually has nine, it is a great harvest.

Chen Zhengqian was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, even if the price of pearls has dropped now, the price of such a superb pearl is still high. Think about the pearls that were handed over to Zhou Xinxin for auction, but they were all sold at a high price.

This time, I won't sell it, just put it at home as a collectible.

Look at the fact that there are so many shellfish meat, it is a pity to throw them away, and it is good to take them back to cook and eat them, and the meat quality of Pinctada grandis is still good.

In short, this wave of gains is not small, and Chen Zhengqian is quite satisfied with himself.

Since the treasure hunt rat said that the most valuable thing in the neighborhood is this, it means that there are really no other valuable shipwrecks around here, so let's go a little further.

It's a pity that the big turtle is not around, and the speed of walking on its own alone is really not much faster.

Chen Zhengqian regretted a little and wanted to catch another large fish to turn into a mount, but he was unlucky, and he didn't find any large fish after walking for so long.

Not far ahead, we are about to enter the range of Lingdingyang.

That's right, this Ling Dingyang is the Ling Dingyang in Wen Tianxiang's poem.

Lingding Ocean is also called Lingding Ocean, the Pearl River Estuary is the range of Lingding Ocean, divided into Inner Lingding Ocean and Outer Lingding Ocean, to the south is the South China Sea.

Historically, it was a springboard for the British to smuggle opium into China, and then transported large quantities of silver from here.

But that's history, as the lyrics say, "The suffering of the past, we keep in our hearts...... There are still dreams in the future, and we will open up ...... together".

The country is in a period of rapid development, although there are many places that are not satisfactory, but because of those who are willing to work hard, as well as those of us who are ready to take over, as well as the younger generation that is growing, the country will always get better and better.

There is also the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge that has just been completed and is ready to be officially opened to traffic at the end of the year.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, known as the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, will connect the three major cities of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao after completion, greatly shortening the distance for people to travel.

With a total length of 49.968 kilometres, including a 6.75-kilometre undersea tunnel, the bridge starts at Lantau Island in the Heung River, passes through Tai O and Neilingdingyang, and finally divides into a Y-shape, connecting Zhuhai and Macao respectively.

Planning began in 83, construction began in 09, and the whole line was officially completed in September 16, and by the end of 17, it could be officially opened to traffic. It is said that the construction cost of the whole process exceeded 72 billion.

Cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and begin to enter the Wailingding Ocean.

The area is dotted with small islands and reefs, and as part of the ancient Chinese Maritime Silk Road, merchant ships often sailed here and then ran aground and sank. In addition, Guangdong was also an open city for trade with foreign merchants during the Thirteen Lines of the Qing Dynasty, and Lingdingyang was an important sea area, so Chen Zhengqian planned to try his luck here.

According to information from the State Oceanic Salvage Administration, at least more than 2,000 ancient shipwrecks have been found off the coast of Nanyue and even in the South China Sea, but many of them can only be kept on the seabed because the technology is not enough to salvage.

The "Nanhai No. 1", which was a sensation before, was salvaged from the sea near the Yangjiang River in southern Guangdong. It also took 20 years from discovery to salvage.

Only Chen Zhengqian can easily explore and excavate shipwrecks under the seabed, and other people, even if they use the power of the state, they may not be able to do it.

There are more than 2,000 shipwrecks, even if only one like "Nanhai No. 1" is found, Chen Zhengqian estimates that he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in his life.

Well, that's all he has to offer.

Target the Lingdingyang Reef area, move forward!
