Chapter 217: A Rich Man Hidden Deep Under the Sea [Third Update]

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters

When diving 400 meters deep, the bottom of the sea is pitch black, even with the titanium alloy turtle eyes of the snapping turtle is difficult to see things dozens of meters away, can only see a vague approximately, the deep sea bottom terrain begins to become steep, from time to time there are submarine mountains undulating.

The sperm whale relied on the ability to sense the dark sea area similar to the sonar, but the snapping turtle was a hundred meters away from them, and they were stunned and did not find it, which surprised Lin Yang, the snapping turtle's control of the sea water was simply to the point of perfection, and the sound made by the sperm whale thought it was just a small fish in the mind of the sperm whale.

When diving 500 meters, there is a continuous ridge and trench in front of you, sometimes raised, sometimes concave, and the rocks are steep, and in many places the snapping turtle is too large to pass.

Only three injured sperm whales could be followed from above the ridge!

Half an hour later, the sperm whale finally stopped in a trench, an abyss, I don't know how wide it was, and the three sperm whales slowly dived into the abyss and disappeared without a trace.

It is better to sink than to dive, they have not gone up for a long time to breathe, and with serious injuries, they are already exhausted.

Seeing the three sperm whales disappear into the abyss, Lin Yang was a little hesitant, he was very curious about the abyss, what was down there? Why do sperm whales come here before they die?

The snapping turtle stretched out its claws like a mountain digger, and even the hard rocks under the sea were overturned with one claw, and Lin Yang was immediately full of courage, no matter how dangerous this deep sea was. There shouldn't be any creatures that can threaten snapping turtles, right?

Thinking like this, Lin Yang no longer controlled the snapping turtle, and the snapping turtle that received Lin Yang's instructions was even more like a wild horse. It couldn't help but want to rush down.

It was pitch black, and there was that kind of granular stuff everywhere, and Lin Yang could feel the slightest increase in water pressure from the snapping turtle. An abyss is about 150 meters deep, and the snapping turtle reaches the bottom, surrounded by steep rock walls and small peaks.

Under Lin Yang's instructions, the snapping turtle walked forward along the abyss, and soon he found the carcass of a sperm whale in front of him. Looking closer, there were two heads lying quietly at the bottom, and what attracted Lin Yang's attention was twenty meters above.

The third sperm whale struggled constantly. Its head was grabbed by some kind of creature, and Lin Yang looked intently and found that it was a king squid.

The tentacles of the king squid are 10 meters long and can entangle all sperm whales. And the terrifying power from the tentacles almost made the sperm whale feel terrible.

The king squid sucked the giant of the sperm whale to death. Then it used its jagged tentacles to continuously cut the sperm whale's body, attracting and bursting out of terrifying suction force.

In normal times, the king squid is usually a sperm whale's meal, but now, this sperm whale was already injured and dying after a few struggles.

"Damn!"

The snapping turtle received Lin Yang's instructions and quickly attacked, and the king squid reacted quickly. The snapping turtle that saw the behemoth was already frightened, and hurriedly let go of the sperm whale. A "boom" shot into a crack.

It's just that the speed of the snapping turtle at 60 knots, 110 kilometers after an hour, and nearly 2 kilometers in a minute, the king squid just catapulted 20 meters, and was bitten by the giant mouth of the snapping turtle at once.

The king squid continues to struggle, the tentacles of ten meters suck on the snapping turtle, if you change the sperm whale can not help but loosen its mouth in severe pain, but unfortunately, the shell of the snapping turtle is harder than steel, and the skin on the body is comparable to a rock, this king squid is 15 meters long, and the snapping turtle is not shaped at all.

"Crunch!"

The snapping turtle's sharp serrations shattered the king squid in a few clicks, and its tentacles were shattered.

Just now, the snapping turtle had eaten very much, and according to common sense, it would spit out the corpse of the king squid, but this time the snapping turtle ate with relish, and even the two tentacles that fell down were all rolled into its mouth by its tongue and swallowed.

Lin Yang could feel a happy message coming from the snapping turtle's head, it seemed to like eating the king squid!

"Dizzy, I didn't expect this guy to like this octopus!"

Lin Yang controlled the snapping turtle and looked at the sperm whale, only to see that the third sperm whale had sunk to the bottom of the sea, lying with the other two sperm whales, looking very peaceful.

"Could it be the burial ground of sperm whales in this part of this area?" Lin Yang secretly guessed that he knew that in fact, the dogs, who were loyal friends of humans, would run away from home before the end of their lives, finding a quiet place to quietly wait for the end of their lives, similar to the sperm whales here.

Three sperm whales lay there quietly, paying with their lives to protect their calves, and they did even more admirable than the humans who claimed to be more intelligent.

After looking at it silently, Lin Yang asked the snapping turtle to go back.

Suddenly, Lin Yang found that a piece of sunlight was pouring down, more and more, illuminating the entire abyss.

Lin Yang felt incredible, this is a full five or six hundred meters deep sea, generally speaking, 400 meters will not see the sun, but at this moment, the sun is indeed shining, pouring down from the rock cracks overhead.

In the end, Lin Yang can only attribute it to the miracle of nature, perhaps it is precisely because the sun is about to set and forms a special angle with the sea that the sunlight can shine into the deep sea.

With the sunlight, Lin Yang was able to see the distance very clearly, and he saw many huge skeletons, estimated to be the carcasses of sperm whales, at least for decades or even hundreds of years.

When passing through a trench, Lin Yang found several large beige stones, the surface of which seemed to be coated with a layer of wax, and Lin Yang remembered that there seemed to be several such large stones pressed under each white skeleton.

Suddenly, Lin Yang's breathing became a little short, as a college student, especially a student majoring in aquaculture, he has studied many fish in the ocean, and once the sperm whale was extremely attractive to him, the story that the sperm whale and the king squid had to tell.

It is said that someone in Britain found a sucker scar with a diameter of 40 centimeters on a stranded sperm whale, and some experts speculate that it was left by the sperm whale's sworn enemy, the king squid, and it may have been unprecedentedly large. The diameter of a 17-meter-long king squid's tentacles is only 9 centimeters, and you can imagine how long a king squid with a diameter of 40 centimeters is, which is estimated to be much longer than a snapping turtle.

But this is all just a legend, and ambergris is real.

As a medicinal use, it can promote qi and blood, disperse knots and relieve pain, and dilute water. Treatment of cough, wheezing and reverse, qi congestion, abdominal pain, gonorrhea.

As a spice, the fragrance company graded the acquired ambergris, and then ground the ambergris perfume into a very fine powder, dissolved in alcohol, and then formulated into a 5% concentration ambergris solution, which is used in perfumes or as a fixative. Therefore, ambergris is expensive, almost equivalent to gold.

And this ambergris, which is more expensive than gold, is just the excrement of sperm whales.

It turns out that large squid and octopus have tough jaws and tongue teeth in their mouths, which are not easy to digest, and when sperm whales swallow large mollusks, the jaws and tongue teeth accumulate in the stomach and intestines, stimulating the intestines, and the intestines secrete a special wax-like substance that wraps up the residues of the food, and slowly forms ambergris.

Some sperm whales vomit out the condensation, some excrete it from the intestines, and only a small number of sperm whales keep ambergris in their bodies.

In fact, the ambergris that has just been born is not only not fragrant, but also smelly, and needs to be rubbed by seawater, exposed to the sun, and catalyzed by the air, the smell will slowly subside, and then the light fragrance will appear and gradually become intense.

The color also changed from light black at first, to beige, light gray, and finally to white. White ambergris is of the best quality, and it has to be soaked in seawater for more than 100 years to float out all the impurities in order to become the top grade of ambergris; The lowest value is the brown one, which has only been soaked in seawater for a decade or so.

Ambergris taken from the intestines of a killed sperm whale is of no value, and it must be floated and soaked in seawater for decades to gain a high status.

It's a miracle, and ambergris is generally not seen in the deep sea.

Ambergris is less dense than water and generally floats to the surface! But all the ambergris in front of him was pressed under the skeleton of the sperm whale, and he couldn't float.

Ambergris cannot be formed without sun exposure, and just one hour after sunset every day, the sun will shine down from the abyss of five or six hundred meters.

At this moment, Lin Yang's mood can be described as ecstatic, but he didn't expect that he would get such a high profit after kindly helping the sperm whale group.

Yes, in an instant, Lin Yang put these ambergris incense into his account.

Along the way, Lin Yang didn't take a closer look at how many there were, but there were definitely a lot of them, and all of them were stuck below the huge skeleton.

With excitement, Lin Yang spent a lot of time counting the ambergris under the skeleton of each sperm whale in the trench, and there were a lot of them, about a few hundred kilograms.

You must know that a sperm whale can discharge four or five hundred kilograms of ambergris, of course, the weight will shrink a lot after bleaching and exposure, but at least two or three hundred kilograms.

There are hundreds of sperm whale skeletons here, but most of the skeletons do not have ambergris underneath, and more than 95% of the ambergris has been washed away by the underwater current. Ambergris floats up, and only the ambergris stuck in the skeleton remains deep at the bottom of the sea.

"It's gone!"

This time I really got rich, and I guess I got rich like never before!

Lin Yang clearly remembers that there was such a news at that time: in March 2008, two Welsh men accidentally picked up two pieces of gray-white ambergris with a total weight of about 50 kilograms while walking their dogs on the beach, and according to expert estimates, its market value was at least more than 550,000 pounds, about more than 7 million yuan!

Lin Yang took a look just now, there were very few gray-white ambergris, but at least a hundred or ten kilograms, which was also a sky-high price. (To be continued......)
