Why are there so few ———————————————— recommendation votes???? Do you still have any recommended votes, if you can reach 500 votes a day, you will add more. ————————————————

After a few people returned to the fishing boat, everyone asked one after another, and everyone only said that Lin Fan seemed to go down, and they couldn't go down at all, and every time they went down to the limit, the pressure on their bodies would increase several times, and their breathing would be greatly affected, and they couldn't force their dives at all.

Only Chen Chaoguo sat next to him and didn't speak, he gasped heavily, because just now he forcibly dived down two or three meters more, and he felt as if his bones were about to break, and he almost suffocated, so he had to come up.

It's just that no one noticed that Chen Chaoguo lowered his head at this time, his eyes were a little blood-red and even more gloomy, and his heart was roaring: "Why can't I?" Why did he get all the good things? I'm not reconciled, why aren't these mine? Everything should be mine, right? ”

Lin Fan slowly dived to a depth of seven hundred meters, and there was a behemoth stranded on the bottom of the sea in front of him, as if it had broken from the middle, half of the hull of the ship was already stuck in the mud, and the surrounding area was covered with all kinds of seaweed, and there were many conch shells and the like that were adsorbed around, and there were many fish and shrimp swimming around it, using this place as a playground.

"Captain, here we are."

At this moment, the surrounding sea water was turbulent, and six flying machines came to Lin Fan's surroundings, revealing their figures, and dozens of people came out of the flying machines like swimming fish and came to Lin Fan's side, with Lin Yi'er and Lin Liang'er at the forefront.

Now, Lin Fan already has two escort teams and three armed engineering wings around him, adding up to eight flying machines, except for two flying machines left above to guard and protect the fishing boat, the others have followed to the side of the wreck.

"Let's go in and search for it, and if there's anything that's well preserved, remember to be careful and bring it out." After Lin Fan gave an order, he led his men into the shipwreck and the like.

As soon as he stepped into the deck, Lin Fan found that the deck under his feet was all steel, although it had been soaked in the water for an unknown amount of time, it was still not damaged, and there were several brass cannons scattered on the deck, but some of the barrels were only half cut off, and there were still some shells around.

"It seems that this is not a merchant ship, but a warship, I just don't know when it was? Is it from China or from other countries? Lin Fan judged in his heart.

"Captain, there is a text here, it should be called French in this world." Immediately, a soldier found the text on the hull, and Lin Fan looked over and saw that it was indeed French, which confirmed that this was a French warship.

The soldiers brought by Yiyi and Liangliang all had detectors, so in less than half an hour, they quickly searched the entire warship, and only found a few small things and some gold and silver.

Lin Fan asked Yiyi to bring those small things and gold and silver back to the flying machine, he thought about it and picked up a few rusty guns and brought them up, so that he could give everyone an explanation, as for what those few things were, they should be able to find out through the Internet when Yiyi and them go back.

"Wow-"

Lin Fan came out of the sea, and everyone pulled him up with all hands and feet, and found that there were things in his pocket. Wang Biao immediately poured out the things, and when everyone saw it, they immediately poured a basin of cold water on their hearts, which turned out to be two rusty old-fashioned rifles, and an empty cannon shell with words on them.

"Fourth, is there a warship down there?" Wang Biao asked.

"That's right, I've been busy for a long time, and there's a French warship below, do you see if it's French on this shell?" Lin Fan asked while gasping.

"It should be French, it seems that this French warship was either during the Opium War or during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it may have been sunk before it got close to China, so naturally there will be nothing on it." Zhou Xiaolin nodded.

"Captain, I just detected the bottom of the sea ten miles to the east, and there seems to be a group of toad fish, do you want to make a little detour to go over and lay two nets." At this time, Zhang Zhide came over and asked, he was the first mate on the ship, and of course he still hoped that the captain could make a big gain as much as possible.

"There are schools of anglerfish, of course you can't let them go, this is a valuable fish." Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked the control room to probe whether the school of anglerfish was still around, and whether he could catch up.

"Chase it down, get off the net." After receiving an affirmative reply from the control room, Lin Fanli commanded with a boost of spirit, and immediately the Golden Pearl sailed quickly towards the east.

Anglerfish, commonly known as stammering fish, toadfish, sea toadfish, anglerfish, etc., generally live in tropical and subtropical shallow sea waters. It is a cosmopolitan fish, found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, with a large head, a soft and scaleless body, and a brown back, like a frying pan with handles.

"I haven't seen anglerfish yet, but I've heard they're called anglerfish, haven't they?" Cai Xingming asked from the side, because anglerfish is a rare fish that is rarely encountered by offshore fishing boats.

"That's right, it has to do with the reproduction of anglerfish." Zhou Xiaolin saw that many people didn't know much about anglerfish, so he introduced them to them: "Male anglerfish grow in the dark depths of the sea, move slowly, and are much smaller than females. Hence the origin of the name anglerfish because the male anglerfish parasitizes the female anglerfish. ”

"Hehe, these fish are quite interesting, I'll be sure to see what they are like in a while." Cai Xingming said with a smile.

It didn't take long for the Golden Pearl to come to the sea where the anglerfish lived, and the water here was relatively shallow, only two or three hundred meters deep. The bottom of the sea is relatively flat, there are no coral reefs or anything like that, only a layer of white gravel, and even seaweed is rare.

Anglerfish like to live in this environment, and of course they still have some companions living in this area, but they are shells and conchs or something, and there may be some pearls.

The Golden Pearl slowed down and laid down a special trawl. These trawls are made of a special material and are very tough, which is just right for dealing with anglerfish, which have sharp teeth. At the same time, the trawl can be lowered directly to the bottom of the sea, and the anglerfish can be scooped up along with the shell conch around it along the gravel on the bottom of the seabed.

After the net was lowered, the Golden Pearl slowly dragged forward, and suddenly there was some boiling under the surface of the sea, and the anglerfish began to scurry around, but most of them could not escape the trawl.

Half an hour later, the nets were pulled up to the surface of the sea, and everyone finally saw the legendary toadfish, which was indeed a little ugly, so that some people said that they would not eat this fish at that time.

The front half of the body of the anglerfish is flat and disc-shaped, the tail is cylindrical, the body length is generally 40~60 cm, the weight is 300~800 grams, and it lives under the bottom of the temperate zone.

The anglerfish has a large appetite, it grows in the depths of the dark sea, its body is thin and pointed backwards in a columnar shape, two eyes are born on the top of the head, a large mouth as wide as a body, and a row of sharp teeth with inward tips on the edge of the mouth; With pelvic fins in the larynx, pectoral fins on the side of the body with an arm, and two rows of hard teeth in a large mouth, anglerfish use the spines on the top of their heads as bait.

The anglerfish does not swim much and has few opportunities to hunt, but over the course of its evolution, its dorsal fin has changed: the first dorsal fin gradually extends towards the head, and the first three spines of the dorsal fin are separated in front of the head as filamentous tails, and it has a glowing flap at the end. When the small fish swim near the flash point, the anglerfish shakes its tackle to lure the fish into the bait and send it into the mouth.

"No wonder people call them toad fish, it's a little too ugly. I don't believe anyone would want to eat them if they saw it. Wang Biao looked at the anglerfish and shook his head.

"Hey, Biaozi, don't look ugly at the anglerfish, but it's delicious, it's a very popular fish in many countries and regions, and it's not cheap.

Anglerfish meat is rich in vitamins A and C. Its tail muscles can be used for fresh food or processed to make fish floss, etc., its fish maw and fish roe are all highly nutritious food, the skin can be made into glue, the liver can bear cod liver oil, and the fish bone is the raw material for processing Ming bone fishmeal. It is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, and its nutritional value is relatively high. Regular consumption of anglerfish liver can help protect eyesight and prevent liver diseases.

In Fujian and other places along the southeast coast, anglerfish is also used as a food fish. In Europe, the common anglerfish is an important edible fish. Japanese people love to eat anglerfish hot pot, especially in winter.

In the Kanto region of Japan, the anglerfish is known as the best in the world, and it is known as "there is a puffer fish in the west and an anglerfish in the east". The meat of the anglerfish is as tight as a lobster, strong and not loose, the fiber is elastic, the taste is better than that of ordinary fish, and the collagen is very rich. Zhou Xiaolin explained to everyone.

"Really, haven't you ever eaten it?" Wang Biao was still a little skeptical.

"I haven't eaten it either, I've just heard of it. In fact, all over the world, the catch of anglerfish is very small, and it is even more rare in our Dongzhou City, and it is good to be able to catch three or five thousand catties every year. Zhou Xiaolin shook his head and said.

"Since you haven't eaten it either, what do you persuade me to do? Anyway, I won't eat this kind of fish in the future, if you like to eat it yourself, it's a little disgusting to watch. Wang Biao said resolutely.

"To be honest, I can't eat it when I look at it, but if I don't know it's it, I might still eat it." Lin Fan said with a smile beside him.

Just like some people don't eat snake meat, it's not that they don't like it, but they can't eat it when they think of the appearance of snakes. But if you don't tell him it's snake meat, he'll probably eat more than anyone else.

However, in addition to the anglerfish, there are also many huge conch shells and shells in this net, which makes everyone have a lot to do. The anglerfish had to be cleaned out and refrigerated, and the shells and conch were thrown into the sea. >
