―――――――――――――― thanked the "Old Han" brother for rewarding 100 starting coins, and then asked for recommendation votes. ――――――――――――――

Lin Fan didn't pay attention to the extra few people on the ship at all, as if they didn't exist at all, he handed them over to his subordinates to deal with, and hid in the room to practice when he had time, after all, it was the most important thing for him to practice to improve his strength and captain's authority now.

Lin Fan had seen the scene of the three escort team's subordinates breaking into the Tianlong Club, and they were masters who could even dodge bullets. Moreover, Lin An'er told Lin Fan that as long as he can reach the first order, he can also be afraid of ordinary pistol bullets.

Of course, if he reached the first level of strength, then his captaincy authority would reach twenty percent, that is, one-fifth, so that he could have the support of all the convoys and half of the armed engineering wing, and he would also be able to mobilize the light space patrol ships on the Aliassay.

In the evening, Lin Fan got the news from Lin Shan'er, she took that team of guards and an armed engineering wing to establish a foothold in Fukushima, Japan, and the deep-sea fishery company was also successfully established, and used some special means to acquire three medium-sized fishing boats and eight small fishing boats of an underground force, and began to catch a large number of precious seafood in the coastal waters of Japan.

Lin Fan chatted with her for half an hour, and after clarifying the future development direction, everything was handed over to Lin Shan'er and them to develop, as for the fishery resources in Japan's coastal waters, Lin Fan meant that although they plundered, they didn't care about their future affairs, and it was best to catch them first.

The next morning, the aircraft detected a shallow island full of coral reefs, and it was estimated that there would be better red coral below, so Lin Fan took the group to dive.

Of course, on the current fishing boats, not only are each fishing boat equipped with engineering fighters, but also equipped with an armed soldier, with them guarding the fishing boats, even a special force can't help Lin Fan's fishing boats, so Lin Fan is not worried about throwing those few people on the boat, not to mention that each fishing boat also has a few crew members to take over.

Lin Fan ignored the others and dived straight down, his diving suit was specially modified, not only had a miniature oxygen converter, but also a miniature freshwater processor, which allowed him to stay at the bottom of the sea for a few days and nights without a problem, as long as the person's physical strength could afford it.

In addition, Lin Fan's diving suit also has a miniature scanning system, which can scan the surrounding area within a radius of 500 meters and discover the treasures existing on the seabed in advance. At the same time, a miniature thruster was added to the back of the wetsuit, which allowed him to reach speeds equivalent to 18 knots of a fishing boat in a short time.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Fan entered the sea, he turned on the scanner and instantly found a huge coral reef island below, only about 100 meters from the sea surface, like a small hill, and there was a deeper undersea land below.

His body sank, and he quickly came to the top of the reef island in an instant, and found that this was indeed a naturally formed pure coral reef island, with a radius of about one square kilometer, and then tilted down, stretching for five hundred meters before reaching the bottom of the sea.

A coral reef is a structure formed by animals of the order Stony Coral, which can be large enough to affect the physical and ecological conditions of its surroundings. Coral reefs are found in both deep and shallow seas, and they are formed over hundreds to thousands of years by the bones of thousands of polyps made up of calcium carbonate.

It is a type of reef formed by the accumulation of calcareous remains and calcareous algae of reef-building corals and other reef-building organisms on the long-term accumulation of calcium material from reef-forming corals. Coral reefs are mostly found in the sea areas between 30° north and south latitudes, especially in the central and western Pacific Ocean. According to the morphology, there are: reefs (fringing reefs), barrier reefs, atolls, table reefs and some transitional types.

It is estimated that 10 million square kilometres of coral reefs and coral islands are located worldwide. Coral reefs generally grow at a rate of about 2.5 cm per year. Some coral reefs are very thick, which is caused by the sinking of the reef base or the continuous rise of the sea level during the growth and development of the reef.

Coral reefs provide habitat for many species of flora and fauna, including worms, mollusks, sponge echinoderms and crustaceans, and are home to juvenile fish from the oceanic zone.

Lin Fan saw that there were not only various reef fish living between the coral reefs, such as redhead fish, zebrafish, reef fish, angelfish, butterflyfish; There are also many algae, and in some places there are even clumps of sea anemones; There are also some marine creatures that live there, and the ones he knows include big horseshoe snails, hedges, phoenix snails, flame shells, etc.

Lin Fan quickly turned around and found that there was nothing of value on the top of the reef island, so he immediately began to dive down, searching downward around the reef island in a spiral, if there was any valuable treasure, I believe he would be able to find it as soon as possible.

Sure enough, when diving more than 200 meters below, Lin Fan found that there were many sea crabs living in the coral reef, some of them were devouring fish and shrimp, some were lying lazily in the cracks of the reef, and some were even fighting fiercely against each other in the iron pincers.

Lin Fan quietly approached them and found that they were not moved at all, although he raised his pincers with some vigilance, he did not take the initiative to attack. One of these crabs has a light red or bruised shell, six spines on its forehead, eight legs from top to bottom, and two large pincers.

Lin Fan knew that this kind of crab was called safflower crab. The body of the safflower crab is red, with dark patterns, and the abdomen is white, which is easy to distinguish between male and female, and the meat is very delicious. They use two large pincers to catch food, safflower crabs are carnivorous animals, but they are very timid, and the two large pincers are also used for self-defense.

The safflower crab meat is fresh and sweet, the meat is full, and the taste is excellent. Safflower crab is rich in protein and trace elements, which has a good tonic effect on the body. Safflower crabs also contain anti-tuberculosis effects, and eating crabs is very beneficial to tuberculosis recovery. The price of large crabs with more than 1.5 catties of this crab species is slightly higher than that of small crabs, and the meat quality is also better.

Another species of crab has a peculiar shape, with a round head and thorax plate, indicating that there are granular bulges that are particularly prominent in the front and middle. Each gill has a dark purple round spot, like a tiger's eye, and they are called tiger head crabs.

The forehead of the tiger crab is narrow, the middle is large and the protruding length is slightly greater than the width. The forehead has 3 sharp teeth, the middle one is larger, the anterior margin has 2 verrucous protrusions and a strong spine, the posterior margin has two strong spines, and the posterior margin is rounded and blunt. Chelicerae asymmetrical, large on the left and small on the right. The fourth pair of feet is paddle-shaped, and the knuckles are flattened and oval. The abdomen is short and triangular in males and oval in females.

Steller crabs inhabit the muddy and sandy bottom of shallow seas, and are distributed in the Yellow and Bohai Seas and the southeast coast of China. The growth is very slow, and a half-pound tiger crab needs to grow for three or four years. In recent years, with the increasingly serious environmental pollution of marine beaches, there are fewer and fewer tiger crabs, and even fishermen rarely see them.

Lin Fan was overjoyed, because he knew that whether it was a safflower crab or a tiger head crab, the current production was very scarce, and it was basically extinct in the offshore area, so the value in the market was high, and the wholesale price was more than 100 catties.

As he dived down around the coral reef island, he found that from the area below 100 meters to about 300 meters on the coral reef island, there were extremely large groups of crabs living in the reef bushes, and they were not small, and any one was a few catties in size.

However, Lin Ji did not stop to catch these crabs, because he could not do the work alone, and he had to wait until the other crew members came down to catch these crabs, and they could not escape.

Lin Fan felt that he should continue to search down first, and if there was a treasure underneath, he should definitely pick it up first. Although these crabs are valuable, if you can find some treasures, I am afraid they will be more valuable.

The depth of 300 meters below the reef island is actually more than 400 meters below the surface of the sea, and divers on fishing boats can reach here, but they can dive a few dozen meters at most, and if they don't have any treasures, they can only go up to catch tiger crabs and safflower crabs.

Lin Fan continued to dive, and found something after twenty or thirty meters, some red corals began to appear sporadically between the coral reefs in these places, but they were only a few centimeters high, although they could be worth a little money, but they were not taken into Lin Fan's eyes.

Because he detected more red corals that appeared further down, and the darker the color, the larger the individual, and those places were basically more than 500 meters above the bottom of the sea, and the other crew members could not reach them at all, so he kept these small red corals on them, and gave those crew members some hope, so he did not fight with them.

Sure enough, when Lin Fan dived down, someone soon followed, first found those crabs between the coral reefs, and then found these red corals below, and began to pick them.

After arriving at this location on the coral reef island, there are several square kilometers in radius, so although there are not many red corals here, and they are very scattered, it is just enough to satisfy Wang Biao and those crew members' treasure hunting emotions, so that they searched everywhere, and in the end, almost everyone has a harvest.

However, the biggest harvest is Wang Yuyan, she knows more about jewelry than Wang Biao, so she chose all those red corals that are larger, too small she did not waste time to pick, so in the end she got three red corals, the largest one is seven or eight centimeters high, weighing forty or fifty grams.

Red corals are group animals, corals living in groups. The skeleton of red coral is a dendritic complex, with a skeletal axis in the center of each branch, and the soft body surrounds the skeleton, around which many polyps grow. These cylindrical shafts are up to 20 cm high and 3 cm in diameter. The mollusk of red polyps has mesocolloidal and endodermal ectoderm cells. >
