The reason why Lin Fan knew about such a thing as a clams was that there was a brother named Wang Biao in his university dormitory, and his uncle was engaged in jewelry. Once, Wang Biao brought a finger-sized statue of Guanyin and told them that it was made of leftovers from clams, which was worth tens of thousands of yuan, and that it was a birthday gift from his uncle.

At first, the brothers didn't believe it, but then they checked it on the Internet, and everyone was shocked, and a five- or six-pound clams ornament would cost millions. Moreover, clams and pearl coral amber are known as the four organic gemstones in the West, and in Buddhism, gold and silver glazed agate coral pearls are also revered as one of the seven treasures.

Tridacnus is originally a kind of clam on coral reefs, mostly produced in the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, weighing up to 250 kilograms or more, the meat is edible, and the shell has been used as a gemstone since ancient times, similar to jade.

It inhabits the shallow water environment between coral reefs in tropical oceans, and is anchored to coral reefs with hard filaments, relying on seawater to bring plankton into its body and digest and absorb it as food. Tridacnas have a symbiotic relationship with a species of zooxanthellae, and its mantle has a special structure called vitreous at the edge of its mantle, which can aggregate light and cause zooxanthellae to multiply, and the zooxanthellae can provide some nutrients for the clams.

The large clams, which can reach 1.3 meters at the widest point of the shell and weigh more than 300 kilograms, are the largest shellfish. The shell is thick, slightly triangular in shape, and both shells are identical. The surface of the shell is white, very rough, with 5 thick shingle-like radial ribs, and the growth chakras are distinct, forming curved and overlapping folds on the surface of the shell. The inner surface of the shell is also white, but shiny, with intercostal sulcus corresponding to the radial ribs, the hinges are long and narrow, and both shells have one main tooth and one posterior tooth.

The appearance of the giant clam is not pretty, but when the shell is opened in the sea, the color of the body is gorgeous, not only peacock blue, pink, emerald green, brown and red, but also a variety of patterns.

"Tridacns? Oh, there seems to be such a thing in the database, so immediately scan the surrounding sea area to see if there are any shells that have come down from the old age of the clams. Lin An'er immediately used the intelligent brain of the aircraft, and the result was available in less than a minute.

"Captain, three hundred kilometers to the south, there is a clam, let's go over immediately."

The speed of Aircraft No. 1 exceeded 50 knots, and the distance of 300 kilometers took almost half a day to reach by the Black, while Aircraft No. 1 arrived in a flash in only five minutes.

Lin Fan put on a diving suit and left the aircraft, and sure enough, he found huge clams on the bottom of the sea outside, and there were some live clams next to them, and there were golden pearls in some clams shells.

"Wow, the golden pearl should be very valuable, move it together. You carry all these clams and the pearls inside to the aircraft, and be careful not to break them, they are very valuable. In addition to An An staying on the flying machine, Yiyi and her nine subordinates all followed, and she and those subordinates did not have any diving equipment, in this sea at a depth of two or three hundred meters, they were moving freely like fish.

There are a total of eight clams shells, the largest of which is about 20 catties, and the smallest is about 7 or 8 catties, which is about the size of a plate for vegetables. A total of 12 golden pearls were collected from these clams, each of which was more than 10mm in diameter, and three of them were more than 20mm in diameter, which was very beautiful.

"Alright, take me to the fishing boat, or my companion will be worried in a long time. Your flying machines are going around the bottom of the sea around the fishing boats, and if there are any good treasures, put them away first. Lin Fan chose the smallest one and three golden pearls, one of which was the largest and the second was the smallest.

"Captain, are you leaving us? You must know that the No. 1 Flying Machine has prepared a nutrient tank for you, which contains a small amount of reinforcement liquid, which can help you strengthen your physical and mental strength, and it is entirely possible to increase your captain's authority by another one percent. Why don't you go back, wait until the reinforcement is finished. Lin An'er saw that Lin Fan was in a hurry to leave, and hurriedly persuaded.

"How long will it take to strengthen it?" When Lin Fan heard that there was an enhancement liquid that could strengthen his physical and mental strength, he couldn't help but be moved, and immediately asked, he was looking forward to the captain's authority being raised again, so that he could get more help from the Aliassay.

"It's going to take about three days."

"That's not going to work, you think about it, what would those companions think when I disappeared for three days at the bottom of the ocean and then suddenly returned to the fishing boat. Forget it this time, let's strengthen it when we get back to land, and as long as the fishing boat is almost full, we can go back to land. Lin Fan refused and immediately strengthened.

By the time Lin Fan returned to the sea below the fishing boat, there were only a few crew members on the bottom of the sea who had not harvested and were still active, and the others had already returned to the sea, after all, more than half an hour had passed.

On the fishing boat, seven or eight crew members sat on the deck, their wet wetsuits thrown beside them, and they panted as they showed off to each other the treasures they had found, some of them were colorful shells, some were beautiful conchs, some were beautiful sea fish, and some were picking up strange stones.

"Wow-"

At this moment, there was a sound of water on the sea, and someone came out of the sea, and then climbed onto the fishing boat with the help of everyone. After taking off the mask, everyone found that it was Lin Fan, and he was exhaling a long breath.

"Lin Fan, did you find the baby?" Li Hu saw Lin Fan taking off his diving suit and asked loudly beside him.

"Yes, you see we have found the baby, take out your treasure for everyone to see." Cai Xingming held up the two colored shells in his hand, very excited.

"Don't worry, our fishing boats have rules, and whoever finds the treasure belongs to whoever owns it. Even if the treasure you find is worth hundreds of thousands, no one will be blushing, because this is your chance. The first mate, Zhang Zhide, was smoking a cigarette next to him and smiled at Lin Fan, and everyone around him also smiled and nodded.

"Oh, that's all I found, and I don't know if it's worth it? You see, does anyone know it? Help me see if it's a baby. After Lin Fan took off his diving suit, his whole body became lighter, and he also sat on the deck, and took out something from his pocket next to him and put it in front of everyone.

When everyone looked closely, it was a huge shell, the size of a vegetable plate, two shells half open, and the inside was empty, apparently a dead giant shell.

It's just that the surface of this shell has beautiful patterns, and the surface of the shell looks a little crystalline, as if it can be seen through the surface, like a gem, and there is nothing else special.

"Isn't this just a dead shell? What kind of treasure can it be? Wang Tiezhu shook his head disdainfully.

"I've never seen a shell like this, so who knows what kind of shell it is?" Hao Gang asked everyone suspiciously, and everyone shook their heads, obviously no one knew it.

"It doesn't matter if it's worth a lot of money or not, it's still beautiful. Fanzai, don't be discouraged, this is the first time you found the treasure in the sea, you can also make an ornament when you bring it back, as a souvenir. Cai Xingming comforted Lin Fan beside him.

"Hehe, I thought so too, I picked it up when I saw it beautiful, I didn't care if it was worth anything or not." Lin Fan smiled, touched his head a little embarrassedly, and didn't look at the clams more, as if it was really a souvenir.

However, Lin Fan's heart has long been happy, no one knows it best, and when he knows that it can manage millions of dollars in the future, the shock will probably not be small.

Although everyone said the rules on the fishing boat, Lin Fan still didn't say anything about the clams, after all, it was related to millions of things, whether anyone would have other ideas, Lin Fan couldn't guarantee it.

When he returned to the room, Lin Fan casually put the clams on the ground next to the bed, and kept it there without touching it ever since, piling it up with the colorful shells and beautiful conch he picked up later in the sea, without thinking of it as a treasure at all.

What made Lin Fan feel a little strange was that although he had left the No. 1 Flying Machine, as long as the No. 1 Flying Machine was within a hundred kilometers of him, he could directly get in touch with Lin An'er in the No. 1 Flying Machine, and he could command the No. 1 Flying Machine from a distance.

The next day, the catch of the Black Bead reached 17,000 catties, and everyone got a chance to dive into the sea again, Lin Fan came to the No. 1 aircraft again, and found that Lin Yier had harvested a lot of sky-high treasures around, such as several precious conchs, including two pairs of nautilus and three anchovy snails, two red corals, one of which was more than 20 centimeters high and the other was more than 40 centimeters high, four or five pieces of agate, one of which was the best water urchin agate, and more than 20 black pearls.

However, Lin Fan didn't bring these things on the fishing boat, he didn't want to attract everyone's attention, so every time he dived into the sea after that, he just picked up some beautiful shell conch and caught some ornamental sea fish.

I don't know if it's luck, but three days later, the catch of the Black Bead reached more than 49,000 catties, which is close to the full cabin of 52,000 catties. Moreover, it also caught a lot of high-value marine fish, such as the wholesale price of twenty or thirty mackerel reached 10,000 catties, forty or fifty sea bass also had more than 6,000 catties, and nearly 20,000 catties of barracuda wholesale price was also about 20, and other ordinary economic fish such as ribbon fish, octopus and squid were about 10,000 catties, and the gross income of this boat was more than one million.

I originally planned to stay at sea for 20 days, but I didn't expect it to be full in only half of the time, and this is not counting the time to return. >
