Chapter 40, Weng Rong

This pair of conch is about 10 centimeters high and 35 centimeters in diameter, and the shell is bell-shaped with granular spiral ribs and flame-colored markings. There are fissures on the outer lip of the shell mouth, and there are also traces of fissures on the snail layer. The mouth cover is, multi-rotational. There is no protrusion of the foot. The eyes are small.

Lin Fan liked this pair of conch very much at first glance, because the color of their shells was red and yellow, and the pattern was like clusters of flames rising upward, shining with a pearl-like luster, dazzling to the eye, as if it was a burning mountain of flames, like a pyramid bathed in the sunset, or a majestic palace plated with red gold, which was amazingly gorgeous.

"Captain, this is a treasure for conch."

At this time, Lin An'er's voice sounded in Lin Fan's consciousness, since Lin Fan's authority was increased to five percent, Lin An'er did not need to go through electronic devices, and could already communicate with him at all times with the help of the pyramid mark on the palm of Lin Fan's right hand.

"I don't know them, have you found the information? What kind of conch are they? Lin Fan immediately perked up and asked.

"They are the dragon palace Weng Rong snails. This conch appeared in the Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era of the earth, about 570 million to 490 million years ago; It flourished in the Mesozoic Era, and gradually became extinct from the Cenozoic Era.

The main feature of the dragon palace Weng Rong snail is that there is a crack at the mouth of the shell, which reaches half of the bottom of the shell, which is a channel for respiration and excretion. The lid is larger than the shell, which is yellow with a flame color and is usually about 10-23 cm in diameter.

The dragon palace Weng Rong snail is a marine creature that appeared on the earth 570 million years ago, and because it has never been discovered*, it is believed that the snail became extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was not until the 90s of the 20th century that a small number of * were discovered.

Because the dragon snail has evolved over hundreds of millions of years and still retains the same form as its ancestors, biologists hail the dragon snail as a "living fossil" among marine shellfish. Longgong Weng Rong snail is also the target of collectors in the conch collection circle.

According to reports, in Taiwan, Europe and the United States, the formation of a collection culture has a history of many years. In Taiwan, a good-looking Longgong Weng Rong snail was sold for a high price of 250,000 yuan. ”

Lin An'er quickly checked the information and helped Lin Fan popularize relevant knowledge, which surprised him. The diameter of this pair of dragon palace Weng Rong snails has reached more than 30 centimeters, and the quality is excellent, and it is estimated that one is worth 500,000 without any problem.

Lin Fan thought about it, and put the two red corals that were more than forty centimeters and the largest one into the imprint space, and put the other red corals into his pocket together with the Dragon Palace Weng Rong Conch, and then slowly floated upward.

However, he did not rush out of the sea, but swam some distance to the side, and when he came out of the sea, he was already two or three miles away from the Golden Pearl. The people on the boat heard Lin Fan's cry and immediately released the lifeboat to pick him up.

"Fourth, why did you run so far?" Lin Fan had just gotten on the boat, still panting, when Wang Biao asked in a surprised manner.

"When I got to the sea, I searched the bottom of the reef island, but I didn't expect to run far. However, when I found a reef in the distance, I came out to rest for a while, breathed my breath, and then went down to the sea again and came back the way I came. Lin Fan lied casually, and the others didn't ask much, because they seemed to think that Lin Fan didn't need to deceive people, and it was impossible for him to stay at the bottom of the sea for that long.

"Mr. Lin, just now I asked them to go down and catch a lot of safflower crabs and tiger head crabs, with a total of more than 20,000 catties. Everyone was busy for three or four hours, but I told them that you would come back and give out the bonus. Zhang Zhide also came up to report on his work.

"Uncle De, just do what you say, everyone has been for so long, each of you will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan." Lin Fan nodded and said indifferently.

"Did you hear it, Mr. Lin said, everyone has worked hard to catch crabs today, and everyone will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan." When Zhang Zhide heard this, he immediately said happily to the people on the boat, and at the same time, his voice was also transmitted through the walkie-talkie to the four fishing boats, and suddenly exclamations sounded on the four fishing boats.

In addition to the original crew, the later crew members didn't know much about Lin Fan's temperament, although most of these people were fellow villagers and friends introduced by the previous crew, and they knew that they had made a lot of money, so they came with the attitude of giving it a try.

Although it has only been a few days since going to sea, everyone has gained something from diving today, which has made them very happy, and now Lin Fan is really going to give bonuses, and suddenly everyone's enthusiasm is higher, and they have believed the words of their fellow countrymen and friends.

"These people are really lucky, when they meet such a good boss, the least one before has earned three or four thousand, and now each person has a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and the income of this half day is almost our two months' salary." Gao Xiao was envious beside him.

"This is also a good boss, it is estimated that I will not be so generous if I change the boss, the four fishing boats are more than 40 crew members, and a bonus of four or five hundred thousand yuan will be issued at once, it seems that this Mr. Lin is really extraordinary." Wei Jiacheng also praised.

"Fourth, we have found a lot of red coral, which is very valuable, Sister Wang, they bought it at a price of two thousand per gram, and I earned 150,000 or 60,000 yuan with Yanzi." Zhou Xiaolin couldn't help but come over to show off at this time.

"Not only did we find it, everyone who went down found it, the most powerful one was Sister Wang, she found a ten-centimeter-high red coral, and that one could reach all of us." Hong Yan also came over at this time and said.

"Red coral? Is it something like this? Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, picked up the pocket he threw on the deck, and took out a red coral of more than twenty centimeters from it and asked.

"Wow, such a tall red coral, it's superb." Everyone's eyes instantly condensed on Lin Fan's hand, and Wang Biao rushed over, took it carefully, and shouted in surprise and joy.

"There are such good red corals, compared to the ones we found, it is really a heaven and an earth."

"Yes, such a good red coral, people like it when they look at it, it should be more expensive."

"I've always heard that Mr. Lin is very good at diving and can dive deeper than ordinary people, so I guess he found it in a deeper place on the coral reef island."

The other crew members also gathered around to watch, talking about it, although they were envious, but no one was blushing, because they had already heard the other crew members introduce Lin Fan's awesomeness, and there was no surprise that he was able to find a better baby.

"Lin Fan, if you go down for so long, you won't find such a red coral, right?" Wang Yuyan also came over, but she didn't care about the red coral in Wang Biao's hand, but lifted Lin Fan's pocket, and suddenly felt a sinking in her hand, and her heart was immediately shocked.

Then, she took out one red coral after another from her pocket, plus there were a total of six in Lin Fan's hand, three of which were more than 20 centimeters high, and the other three were more than 30 centimeters tall, and the weight was much heavier, and the color was darker and more beautiful.

"Oh my God, it's unbelievable that there are so many superb red corals."

"yes, how much is it worth?"

"Weigh it quickly and see how heavy, I'm afraid it's worth millions."

In the expectation of everyone, Wang Biao excitedly took out the electronic scale, and first weighed the three red corals more than 20 centimeters high, with a total of more than 1,100 grams. The other three plants, which are more than 30 centimeters tall, weigh more than 1,900 grams, adding up to more than three kilograms.

"Lin Fan, the quality of these red corals of yours is superb, I can call the shots and give you two thousand four hundred yuan per gram, so it will be seven million four hundred thousand. We'll give you a whole number, seven and a half million. Of course, this money will have to wait until my father transfers it to you when I go back, and I don't have that much authority to manage that much money. Wang Yuyan was very decisive and crisp, while Lin Fan nodded, not caring so much at all.

"Hey, fourth, you still have two conches in your pocket, it's really beautiful." At this time, Zhou Xiaolin rummaged through Lin Fan's pockets and accidentally found the two Dragon Palace Weng Rong snails.

"Oh, I almost forgot, these two are treasures too." Lin Fan thought of them and hurriedly reminded.

"What kind of treasure is this? Could it be the four famous snails? But it's not quite like that. After Wang Yuyan heard it, she took one and looked at it, but she didn't know much about it.

"This is called Longgong Weng Rong snail, although it is not the four famous snails, but its fame is similar to them. Don't look at their small size, each one is worth about half a million. Lin Fan introduced it to everyone.

"What? It's worth half a million one, it's impossible. Immediately someone screamed.

"It's really a dragon palace Weng Rong snail, and it's the best, it's really valuable." At this time, Hong Yan screamed, it turned out that she had just checked the information through the Internet on her mobile phone, and sure enough, she found out.

"Mr. Lin, your harvest this trip is really good." Wei Jiacheng and Gao Xiao also came over to watch the excitement, and seeing that Lin Fan was free, Gao Xiao hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to talk.

"It's okay." Lin Fan just nodded faintly, and turned around and entered the room without saying much to them.

The fishing boat continued on its way, and the sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, some of them took a break on the deck, while others went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Fan had just practiced today, so he didn't practice behind closed doors, but came to the deck, ready to breathe.

Suddenly, he saw a figure huddled there in the corner of the deck, it was that Zeng Xiaotong, who seemed to have been sitting like that since she got on the boat, she hadn't moved.

After hesitating, Lin Fan still walked over. Looking from the side, Zeng Xiaotong's wisps of green silk were disturbed by the sea breeze, adding some decadent aura to her body, but the slender white jade neck and the exposed collarbone revealed an invisible temptation. >
