Chapter 987 - Coral Picking
Jesse and Belinda have begun to ask for assistive equipment at this time to be able to sneak under the surface of the sea, the main manifestation is that the two of them have put on oxygen masks, and after following them, they can already see the bubbles constantly spewing out of their mouths.
It can be seen that diving here has consumed their physical strength very much.
But at this time, Jin Muchen had already begun to reflect the extraordinary place of his body.
For ordinary people, if they dive to a depth of five meters underwater, they will feel uncomfortable because of the water pressure, their eyes will be uncomfortable, and their ears will be uncomfortable.
Jin Muchen would have had such an experience when he swam in the wild before, but this time he was not affected by that pressure at all.
You can feel the water pressure, but the pressure is not as great as it used to be.
The body transformed by the yellow gourd has greatly improved his physical strength compared to before, although he dare not say that it has reached the point of copper skin and iron bones, and he can't resist bullets, but it is quite easy to resist the pressure of the current sea water.
And from the time he started to dive, he took a sharp breath, and until now, he felt that he had not used up his breath, and if he continued to dive, there was still a lot of leeway, it seemed that the yellow gourd had not only changed the external quality of his body.
Even his internal organs have been transformed, at least before, he did not have such a large lung capacity as now, which Jin Muchen is very sure of.
Jesse and Belinda led the way in front, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and by this time they had reached a depth of about ten meters below the surface of the sea, and it was already pitch black in front of them.
Although there is still some brightness, the light on the water can still shine down, but the brightness is already very thin.
At this time, the speed of the two of them was already slow, and at this time, Jin Muchen reflected his physical advantage, and he had unconsciously sneaked in front of the two and began to lead the way.
And such a dim environment, it seems that the visual impact on him is not great, you must know that when he is on land, in the dark night, he can see things more than ten meters away, his super night vision, although it is affected by the refractive index of water under the water surface, but at this time it can be much stronger than ordinary people.
So the current dim environment is nothing to Jin Muchen, and his physical strength is better than Jesse and Belinda, so of course he has to take the lead at this time.
The most important thing is that he not only wears a diving lamp on his head, but also has a large diving lamp hanging on his waist.
With Jin Muchen taking the lead, Belinda and Jesse, who followed him, were much more relaxed, and the two followed Jin Muchen's route all the way down.
Under the water, especially in such a dim environment, the direction of sneaking is easy to have problems, sometimes the target can be seen at a glance on the water surface, but if it is under the water, it is easy to get lost, even if the light environment under the water is good, but because of the refractive index of light in the water, it is also very easy to lose direction.
So diving is not a very simple thing, but a science, fortunately, Jin Muchen himself has a very strong sense of direction, and when he went into the water again, he also brought a diving watch on his wrist that could be guided.
So he didn't take Jesse and Belinda too wrongly, and after about twenty minutes, they finally saw the continental shelf of the island extending from under the water.
Seeing the continental shelf, the water conservancy creatures began to increase, all kinds of shellfish lying on the rock wall, as well as reptile shellfish under the water surface, and all kinds of fish that are not usually seen at all, constantly swimming in front of them, as if everyone had arrived in another world.
But the most important thing is that the coral trees that grow on the rock walls of the continental shelf that everyone is staring at, Takako Nomura really did not lie, and there are indeed many coral trees growing on these continental shelves.
At this time, under the reflection of their diving lights, the colors of these coral trees are all kinds of colors, some are red, some are blue, and some are colorful, and they all look very beautiful anyway.
Some coral trees are not very large, that is, twenty or thirty centimeters high, and there are not many branches, while some are very huge, the largest can be two or three meters high, and the branches are luxuriant, and at first glance they are the kind of big trees that have been hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.
Such a coral tree, although it looks colorful under the water surface, but in fact, Jin Muchen and they all know that this is not a precious coral species.
Because good coral varieties generally grow in deeper places, and now the distance between them and the sea surface is more than 20 meters, and in such a shallow place, the corals produced can only be black corals, and the probability of xenospecies corals is very small.
Don't look at these corals now, they look colorful under the reflection of the lights, but in fact, if you collect them ashore, you will see that within a few hours, these corals will oxidize and change color, lose their colorful colors, and all turn black, which is our most common black coral.
But even so, Jin Muchen already felt very satisfied, after all, this is a large black coral jungle!
With so many black corals, if all of them were collected ashore, even if they didn't know how much money they had, they would provide Belinda with countless carving themes.
Especially the bigger the coral tree, the more valuable it is, because this kind of large coral tree is relatively old, and because of the thick shape, so when carving and creating, there are more themes that can be used to create, as long as the carving is formed, it will definitely be a popular kind on the market.
And Belinda, who has been following behind Jin Muchen, is also dancing happily when she sees so many corals at this time, if it weren't for the fact that she was underwater and couldn't shout, I'm afraid that at this time, she would have been so happy that she couldn't help but shout.
Jin Muchen and Jesse were still relatively calm, and after seeing the situation clearly, they quickly made a division of labor, and everyone started to work towards the biggest goal they were optimistic about.
They all bring ****** with them, and they can cut these coral trees, these black coral trees, because they grow in relatively shallow waters, so the texture is not particularly hard, and ordinary fishermen will use the method of netting when fishing such coral trees.
This method seems to be coarse, but it is more efficient, but because it is rough, it is often easy to cause damage to the coral tree.
And they use the ****** cutting method, so they won't have such a problem.
In particular, black corals grow in relatively shallow water, so the texture is not as hard as red coral, and it is not very troublesome to cut.
It is only when these black corals are fished ashore, oxidized and discolored, and the water is drained that they gradually become hard, and now there is no need to think about them becoming too hard.
So everyone is very happy, but now it is more than 20 meters underwater, which is the limit of the depth that normal people can dive, and they have to withstand huge underwater pressure for every action.
And at such a depth, you can't stay for too long, even if you have an oxygen tank on your back, if you stay under the water for too long, it will cause some damage to your body, especially your organs.
So at this time, everyone does not waste time, take out the ****** and start cutting corals, these corals are relatively soft in the water because they have been soaked in seawater for a long time, but they are very tough, although the texture is soft, but it is also more time-consuming and laborious to cut.
Jin Muchen's physical fitness is perverted, so he is still good, and he quickly cut off a large coral that looks three or four meters high, but when he turned his head to look at Jesse and Belinda, the two of them, each of them had not been able to cut their own part.
Jesse, who is relatively physically good, has already cut off most of the roots, but Belinda, who is relatively weak, is blind at this time, and the coral tree she chose is more than half a meter high, and now she has cut off half of the roots.
When Jin Muchen saw such a situation, he took the initiative to help, and Belinda was also quite grateful for his arrival.
Although she usually dives and plays, it is the first time to do such labor as cutting coral underwater, and at this time, the physical gap between her and Jin Muchen and Jesse can be seen.
The coral she fancied was colorful and beautiful, and it was not very big, only more than half a meter high, but there were a lot of branches, and the color of each branch was different.
As a carver, from her aesthetic point of view, this coral tree is very beautiful, so she chose this one.
At this time, Jin Muchen came over to help cut it, and she helped drag the branches, lest the branches of this coral tree would hang on to Jin Muchen and interfere with his cutting.
However, when I reached out to grab the branches, there was an accident, although the coral tree was relatively soft under the sea surface, but after all, it was the accumulation of the corpses of polyps, but it was angular, and the branches of the coral tree were slippery and greasy on the outside, as if there was a layer of moss like plankton, but underneath the plankton, it was indeed hard coral.
As soon as she grabbed it, she accidentally cut her finger, and a small wound on the surface of the sea would become larger because of the pressure of the seawater, and the blood flowed. (To be continued.) )
