Yu Jinshan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to suddenly ask him such a thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After fishing for so many years, it is true that there has been no special fishing of mussels, but sometimes fishing nets have also been netted, but mussels live in shallow seas, and there are generally few in the deep sea, and mussels also like to be in places with higher water temperatures.

Although Yujinshan has never beaten mussels, it also knows a little about the price of pearls.

"Pearls? Generally depends on the wild or artificially cultivated, because the artificial cultivation is targeted, some artificial means are used, so the artificially cultivated pearls are very round, and the particle size is average, almost no difference, artificially cultivated pearls, after careful selection, slightly larger particles, as well as the color and texture of the pearls are very good, a string of necklaces about sixty grains, will be more than 20,000 yuan, of course, the texture is poor, dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars are available, the price varies, and the best products, there are hundreds of thousands, The best and largest pearls are the relatively rare wild saltwater pearls, wild saltwater pearls with a diameter of more than 1.5 centimeters, if the texture and color are good, one can manage millions of dollars."

Yu Jinshan said so much, paused, and then said: "Of course, there are very few wild sea pearls now, and there are no large particles in the pearl mussels that are usually fished, and they are not worth much, but relatively speaking, the pearls of wild mussels are more valuable than artificially cultivated pearls, you should all know that pearls have extremely high medicinal value and beauty effects, and this has the best effect of long wild years, so the longer the wild pearls, the more precious they are."

Artificially cultivated pearls are usually only raised for three years, because some of the hormones that are added to the incubation, so the medicinal value of artificial pearls is much lower, generally speaking, pearls with a diameter of two to three millimeters need to be raised for three years, about five millimeters need six or seven years, more than eight or nine millimeters need more than ten years, and larger years are longer.

Zhou Xuan didn't understand this, and he couldn't tell the value of wild and artificial cultivation, but he heard from Second Uncle Yu that wild pearls are relatively large, as long as the color is good, one can be worth millions of yuan, and he thought that the pearls in those big mussels in the submarine ditch don't know how much they are worth, but the size of these pearls detected by the ability is larger than the pearls in the stores he has seen.

Zhou Xuan's heart moved, thinking that the net on the boat had just caught more than 40,000 catties of fish, and it was inconvenient to go to the deep sea again, but there was enough fuel for sailing, so it was better to stop here and dive down to pick up those mussels, no matter whether it was worth it or not, anyway, there was time, and there would be no loss, all I wanted was to cover up the ears of these people on the boat, but these people were easy to bluff, and it would be no problem to find a proper excuse.

"Second Uncle Yu, I have found some wild mussels in such a sea area before, there are pearls, but I don't know if they are worth it, but I think we have time anyway, we have already caught so many fish in a net, and it is no longer necessary to go to the deeper sea, it is better to salvage it here and see if there are any mussels and pearls."

Yujin Shan was stunned, and immediately shook his head to stop: "This may not be easy to implement, because the terrain in this area is complex, not the flat terrain like the plain area, and the mussels live at the bottom of the sea, if you can't go to the bottom of the net, you can't bring mussels and other creatures at all, and mussels generally live in shallow seas, here, in such a deep area, it is unlikely that there will be mussels."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Second uncle, I see that there seems to be diving equipment in the storage room?" I'll dive down and take a look, I'll have time now anyway."

Everyone on board couldn't help but be shocked

Although they are fishermen, they are no strangers to going into the water, but fishermen and diving fishermen are essentially different, they have diving suits and other ordinary diving equipment on board, that is just to deal with emergencies, and diving fishermen are professional divers, their equipment and diving actions are designed, and now the water temperature is relatively low, not suitable for diving, and the depth of water in this area is more than 100 meters, a person in deep water pressure is not able to withstand such a large pressure, so everyone is against it.

Zhou Xuan spread his hands and said: "Second uncle, you all don't have to worry, I have always been a diving enthusiast, I often do winter swimming at home, and now the weather has entered spring, and then it will be summer, and the sun is about to rise, this temperature is actually not low, I see the sea without diving and it's itchy, let me dive back."

Fugui looked at the sea water on the side of the boat, and the undulating waves swung the boat together, frowned, and said, "Brother, I think it's still ......."

"Don't worry" Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan had already interrupted him, turned back to the storage room and took out a set of diving equipment, took off his clothes, put on a diving suit, put on a gas bag, and then put on a blindfold.

However, the diving equipment on the ship is ordinary, only suitable for diving to a depth of no more than forty or fifty meters, and there is no underwater communicator.

Zhou Xuan saw that everyone was worried, so he smiled and said: "I used to dive a lot, this is a little meaning, and, Fugui, you go find a small net and tie it with a rope, I will take it into the sea, if there is something, I will put it in the net, and then connect it again." ”

Zhou Xuan had already decided, so Fugui stopped persuading him, so he went to the cabin to find a small net three or four meters wide, and there was a small winch machine on the boat, and the rope on it was untied and firmly tied to the small net.

Zhou Xuan threw the small net into the sea first, then smiled and said, "I'm going down."

After speaking, he jumped straight into the sea standing upright, without any fancy gestures, the people on the boat all came to the place where he watched him enter the water, and several people even thought that this Hu Yun was a little stupid, he caught so many fish, what kind of water did he dive into the sea if he had the ability? What kind of shellfish are you going to fish?

Zhou Xuan's matter is naturally incomprehensible to them, and these people who can detect it can't understand it.

When you get to the sea, the water temperature is a bit low, about 14 or 5 degrees, but after diving below 20 meters, the water temperature is a little higher.

Although the ocean is big, but for Zhou Xuan, it is far less terrifying and terrifying than in the Yin River underground, in the deep water river underground, if you rush in if you are not good, you will never be able to get out, and no matter how you swim in the ocean, you will not encounter that kind of situation, and the fierce creatures in the sea are not so terrifying, they are all within the known range, and Zhou Xuan's ability can completely deal with it.

And the water temperature and the depth of more than 100 meters, it is not a problem for Zhou Xuan at all, even if he dives with his bare hands, there is no problem.

Zhou Xuanyun has the ability all over his body, and he probes the situation of forty or fifty meters around his body, as soon as there is danger, he will know that the current light is good, it is the golden time of the morning from more than eight o'clock to nine o'clock, diving to a place forty meters below the sea, the light is not bad, without the ability, it can be seen with the naked eye.

Zhou Xuan dragged the small net tied to the rope with one hand, while diving, he didn't feel the pressure on his body at all, and he easily dived to seventy or eighty meters, and the ability detected that some places were already in the end, and there was still depth in some narrow ditches, but Zhou Xuan would not take the wrong road, and swam directly to the deep ditch with mussels.

Those fish swam out of this deep ditch, when Zhou Xuan entered the deep ditch, the light suddenly dimmed, the deep ditch was narrow and deep, the width of the place just entered was only three or four meters, and the depth was seven or eight meters, the deeper it went, the deeper it became, the deeper it was, the narrow ditch stretched far into the distance, the length was far beyond the range he could detect, and the deep bottom began at a distance of forty or fifty meters, and it could not be detected to the end, thinking that this narrow ditch should exceed two hundred meters deep.

It seems that the place where this sea communicates must be to the south, and because the trench is long and deep, the water flow above is not easy to move down, so the water temperature is higher than the temperature on the ditch, and some sea creatures who are afraid of cold have dived into the trench, which is a haven for them, because although the trench is very deep, the width is only a few meters, which makes some huge marine killers a little difficult to exert in it, so other marine creatures prefer it, the temperature is enough, and it is safe enough.

After all, you can't go deeper on the ship, and only after you get here in person can you feel some of the situation more realistically.

As soon as he entered the trench, Zhou Xuan could not observe with the naked eye, he could only detect with his ability, and the light was almost isolated.

In the nearly 100-meter-long trench, the slope extends downward, and in this nearly 100-meter trench, there are hundreds of mussels, and the texture of the mussel shell is obvious.

This is somewhat the same as the annual rings of the tree, Zhou Xuan estimates that this may be the age of the mussel, a circle of traces is a year, the ability to transport to the extreme, while protecting the body around the range of forty or fifty meters, while detecting the size of the pearl in the mussel's body, the pearl is small, it is not moved, and the pearl particles are larger and picked up and put into the net.

When he picked up those big mussels, Zhou Xuan could feel the heaviness in his hands, estimated to be no less than four or five catties, such a big mussel, but he had never seen it, and in this ditch, there were at least a hundred such big mussels, and the rest were slightly smaller, calculated from the lines, this kind of mussels are estimated to be thirty or forty years old, and those smaller ones are also in the range of more than ten years, but the pearls in the body are obviously much smaller.

There are dozens of pearls in these larger mussels, but the largest ones are only a few that have been formed, and the largest ones are only one, with a diameter of more than one centimeter.

Because if the net is pulled into the trench, it may not be able to be dragged out if it is loaded with weight, and the winch machine on the ship twists, if the net hangs on the rock, it may be pulled off when it is twisted, so Zhou Xuan can only put the net on the trench and move two at once, so that he shuttles back and forth from the trench to the bottom of the sea above the trench again and again.

Because of the repeated same action, Zhou Xuan asked for more when selecting mussels later, discarding the smaller pearls, and only choosing those that were more than fifty years old, and in the trench a hundred meters away, the mussels had begun to decrease, and the deeper the place, the weight of the mussels was much heavier, and the body size was larger, but the number decreased sharply.

Later, the depth in the trench was almost 200 meters deep, of course, this is only Zhou Xuan's estimate, there is no deep-water meter, and the exact data is not known.

When Zhou Xuan went to the back place, almost every mussel he encountered was moved, because at this depth, each of them was more than fifty years old, and the pearls in his body were also large.

After arriving in this area, the number of mussels can only be judged by numbers, and after running twice, this area is almost gone, and then the detection inside, the depth is deeper, but in the deeper thirty or forty meters ahead, Zhou Xuan also detected a larger mussel, which seems to be almost the size of a small basin

Such a big mussel, Zhou Xuanke really has never seen it, when he was on the boat, his ability could not detect this place, here is almost more than three hundred meters above the sea surface, a hundred meters deep sea depth, after reaching the bottom of the sea, the depth in this ditch is close to two hundred meters, which has exceeded the limit that Zhou Xuan can detect, so Zhou Xuan can't detect this largest mussel on the ship.

This mussel, the mussel shell is full of rings, and there are some small green moss-like things on each shell ring, just like iron rusting, which can only be said to be the reason why the year is too old.

Zhou Xuan swam over while probing the big mussel.

There is a large pearl with a diameter of more than two centimeters in the body of the big mussel, such a large wild pearl is rare, in Zhou Xuan's memory, he has never seen such a big pearl.

Shellfish pearls are different from other types of pearls, they are slowly grown by shellfish, so the larger the pearl, the more difficult it is to find, this mussel, looking at the age is almost more than 100 years.

Zhou Xuan is a little strange, can a mussel live so long?

Although it is difficult to understand, Zhou Xuan still wants to move this one mussel, there may be as many as a hundred mussels that have been moved to the net, and it takes so much time to dive to the bottom of the sea.

Zhou Xuan swam over slowly, and when he arrived at the big mussel, because he touched it with his hand, he could really feel the size of this mussel, and after holding it up with both hands, the weight was almost more than ten kilograms, and he had never seen such a big mussel.

When Zhou Xuan was picking up the big mussel, he suddenly felt the danger, which was the danger in his mind

Several black whirring long rope-like things suddenly rolled up from the ground and wrapped around Zhou Xuan at once.

When Zhou Xuan was suddenly caught by this thing, his body felt hot and painful, as if he had been electrocuted, and his neck was also strangled, and he could barely breathe.

This attack was very sudden, and Zhou Xuan's ability was not detected, it was almost something that suddenly came out of the ground, so there was no defense at all.
