'Exploration and exploitation' here can be considered to encompass all fishing activities, whether commercial or recreational.

These activities include: fish exploration and search for fishing grounds; fishing with fishing gear; Loading and processing of catch, or barging of catch to other vessels, bringing it back to port, selling of it, etc.

June has passed.

The coming hot month of July.

However, Tortuga is located in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, and the temperature throughout the year remains between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius, with little difference throughout the year, and the temperature of the sea also remains around 30 degrees Celsius.

Even though it's a hot summer, the temperature changes are barely noticeable on the island of Tortuga.

The auction of the treasures of the ancient Inca Empire, which Chen Rui commissioned Christie's to auction, was completed a few days ago.

Of particular interest are three rare treasures from the ancient Inca Empire.

'Golden Man', Golden Ship, Head of Inca God.

Among them, the 'Golden Man' was auctioned by the Colombian government and government for a transaction price of 44.89 million US dollars, and the Zài Colombian Gold Museum is currently preserved, becoming one of the treasures of the museum.

Visitors who want to see the 'Golden Man' can pay 2,800 pesos (about US$1.4) for a ticket to the Colombian Gold Museum to see the legendary 'Golden Man'.

Legend has it that the 'Golden Boat', where Indian chiefs brought large quantities of gold offerings and various items to Lake Guadawida to worship the gods, was won by an anonymous telephone bidder for $57.88 million.

I'm afraid that if I want to see the real thing about the gold ship in the future, I can only see it in the pictures.

The Inca head was auctioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for $67.2 million, and the pre-Columbian exhibition hall of the Americas is currently preserved for visitors to visit.

Except for the 'Golden Man', the Golden Ship, and the Head of the Inca God, the rest of the treasures such as gold, jade, and precious stones were all sold at high prices, and there was no first-class auction.

The total price realized was $897 million.

It has set a new record for the total number of transactions in the special auction, and it may be difficult to break this record in the future.

US$897 million, deducting commissions, taxes and other expenses, and US$768.1 million, equivalent to 4.76 billion + yuan, was remitted to Chen Rui's bank account.

On July 5, a batch of Burmese jade purchased by Chen Rui and some cutting and carving tools arrived.

First, Chen Rui spent a few days using cutting tools to cut the Burmese jade into mahjong-sized pieces.

Then, spend more than a week carving various runes on jade cut to the size of mahjong.

These jade stones with carved runes can form thirty-two sets of spirit gathering arrays.

Then, with the help of various underwater scanning and camera tools, Chen Rui drew a topographic map of the seabed.

The topographic map of the seabed is divided into thirty-two sections.

In each section of the seabed, the terrain of the sea is marked with the aura nodes of a spirit gathering array.

After the drawing, the entire seabed topography map was densely packed with aura nodes.

Mapping out countless aura nodes on the topography of the seabed alone is a lot of work.

What's more, you have to dive to the bottom of the sea to bury the jade yourself.

The workload is to mark dozens of times the number of aura nodes on the topographic map of the seabed.

Chen Rui took a fishing boat to the target area.

It is located in the northeast of the eastern part of Tortuga Island, with an area of about ten square kilometers.

Then, dive into the sea.

Bury the jade in the aura nodes according to the topography of the seabed.

In order to prevent the jade from being moved and destroyed by the current or animals in the ocean, and the spirit gathering array failed, Chen Rui dug out the sand one or two meters deep, and then buried the jade.

It took another little over a week.

Thirty-two sets of spirit gathering arrays covered a sea area of more than ten square kilometers.

In the area covered by the Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual power contained in the water was more than ten times that of other places, and in the core area, the concentration of spiritual power contained in the water was even as high as hundreds of times.

Gradually, attracted by the aura contained in the water, a large number of fish and other marine life gathered in this area.

Plankton and seaweed, which are food for fish and marine life, grow wildly under the breeding of aura, providing abundant food for fish and marine life.

From small phytoplankton to large plankton, benthic herbivores, to zooplankton-eating fish, benthic carnivorous fish, and finally to fishivores.

In this sea area of more than 10 square kilometers, it seems to constitute a perfect ecological balance.

on the apron.

A helicopter landed.

An old white man climbed out of the helicopter, followed by a very British gentleman-like butler, and two black-clad bodyguards with grim expressions.

"Lord Hill, welcome to the island." Chen Rui greeted him, said with a smile, and stretched out his left hand.

Earl Hill stretched out his right hand, shook his hand, and said with a smile, "I heard my friend tell me that there are more than a dozen live speartails on your island, and I can't wait to see them." ”

The Earl of Hill is a well-known British paleontologist.

Hearing this, Chen Rui said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, speartail fish generally inhabit the bottom of a pond at a depth of 1 or 200 meters."

Usually they will surface for a short time every morning, obviously, you missed the time to see the speartail today, and the only way to see the speartail is to get up early tomorrow morning. ”

Speartail fish usually inhabit the bottom of water at a depth of 1 to 200 meters.

However, because Chen Rui often chose to feed the speartail fish with Haiquan spring water around 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning.

Over time, the speartail fish formed a conditioned reflex, and would surface at six or seven o'clock in the morning every morning, waiting for Chen Rui to feed it the spring water of the pregnant sea spring to drink.

Therefore, there is a specific time to observe speartail fish every day, which is between 6 and 7 o'clock in the morning.

Every morning, before dawn, a large group of people hold video cameras, video recorders and other photographic equipment, quietly lie on the edge of the pool, carefully observing the habits and movements of speartails.

A specific spectacle was formed on the island.

"That's a shame." Count Hill said disappointedly.

Chen Rui said with a smile, "It's not too much of a pity, if you miss it today, there will be tomorrow." Later, I will arrange a place for you to stay, have a good rest, and I will invite you to dinner in the Fulin Building tonight, and wash the dust for you. ”

"Thank you very much for your hospitality." Earl Hill thanked him.

Subsequently, Chen Rui personally arranged for Earl Hill and his housekeepers and bodyguards to live in a single-family courtyard in the garden.
