Han Peacock approached and struck a few times on its shell with the hammer in his hand to vent his anger, and under the beating, the giant clam relied on the thickness of the shell and did not react, but the attachments on its body fell off one after another, and the shell revealed a furrow and a white texture like jade, which was quite beautiful to look at.

"You're looking for this? That's too dangerous, isn't it? Qin Mingyue looked at Han Peacock and said.

Han Peacock said: "It's good to find this thing, but it seems that something is wrong." ”

"No, what's wrong? It's rare to be able to find such a big giant mussel in the sea, and I haven't asked yet, how do you know there's such a thing? Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock said: "Knowledge creates wealth, analyzes the climate of the ocean, the hydrological data of the sea area, the fish in the sea field, the changes of ocean currents, the preferences and characteristics of various fish, and uses the geography and environment of the ocean to find fish schools."

Coupled with a large number of underwater monitoring equipment, trawlers who get accurate information will not miss the net, such as mackerel, large and small yellow croaker, crabs, lobsters, and hairtail fish; Sharks, whales, squid, salmon, cuttlefish, octopus, are all our prey. ”

"And what about this giant mussel?" Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock said: "Analyze the ocean currents, topography, and analyze the areas where the big mussels may appear, so I found this piece, and the whereabouts of the giant mussels were found in the underwater surveillance video, so I will take you down to have a look."

By the way, I know what's wrong, it turns out that the underwater surveillance should not have captured this, this giant clam is so tightly hidden. Underwater surveillance should not be able to detect it. ”

"Yes! If you didn't even notice it when you walked in, how could underwater surveillance find out? Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "So, there is at least one giant clam of this size nearby, now clean it up carefully and see if this is what I want." ”

After all the debris around the giant clam was cleaned up, and the things attached to the giant clam were also cleaned up, looking at the shells as white as jade, Qin Mingyue said in surprise: "What kind of shellfish is this, how can the shells be so beautiful?" ”

Han Peacock said: "The scientific name of this ghost thing is Tridacnus, and it is the largest bivalve mollusk in the ocean. Commonly known as the great oyster. The shell is thick and heavy, with a maximum shell length of up to two meters and a maximum weight of three hundred kilograms, making it a giant among mollusks. It has a long lifespan. The growth period ranges from 80 to 100 years. It's the old birthday boy of Hayberg.

The clams' huge occlusive muscles can quickly close the double shell, which is said to be enough to break the leg of a cow that has strayed into it, and its meat is delicious. After the closed muscle slice is dried, it is called "oyster tendon", which is a precious sea treasure.

The shell is usually white or pale yellow in color, and the shell is smooth, up to several inches thick, and is composed of three parts, which is an excellent material for jade polishing. It is also one of the seven treasures of ancient Buddhism and is used to make zuò.

It lives in coral reefs in tropical seas and is an endangered species of wild flora and fauna, listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade, and also found in China's Bend Islands, Hainan, Xisha Islands and other islands in the South China Sea. ”

"Can you break a corbel?" Qin Mingyue hadn't heard anything else, but this sentence made her deeply impressed.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Isn't it strange? According to relevant records, one of the largest natural pearls in the world was produced by Tridacnida, in 1934, in the Gulf of Palawan in the Philippines, one on a coral reef.

Because the playful child was caught in the foot and drowned, his relatives fished him to the shore with the clams, and with great effort they opened the crust and found a huge pearl, weighing 6,350 grams, named the Pearl of Allah, also called the Lao Tzu Pearl. ”

"This thing is dangerous enough, now that we have a harvest, let's go! You're rich now, there's no need to be so greedy. Thinking of the danger just now, Qin Mingyue obviously had palpitations.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "As long as you pay attention, there is no danger at all, and besides, you haven't seen the real danger yet!" ”

Then Han Peacock told him about what happened to him in the Maldives, and the huge Pinctada Oyster that could spin quickly and send out a whirlwind slash was the real killer.

"Is it true? Can shellfish be that powerful? Qin Mingyue was speechless when she heard it.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "Of course it's really powerful, if one is accidentally loaded with that big pinctada oyster, it's not strange to have a halving, don't you believe it?" At that time, the catkins recorded a video, and you can take a look when you go back, and now the Pinctada oyster is still raised in my Xuanyuan Water Control Flag! It seems that he can add a big guy to the Xuanyuan Water Control Banner again. ”

Han Peacock looked at this clams and laughed evilly, and Qin Mingyue also smiled: "No matter how good this thing is, it won't make you so happy, right?" ”

Han Peacock smiled and said: "The main thing is to enjoy the feeling of this harvest, aren't you happy to pick up a baby for nothing?" ”

"This so-called clams are a little bigger, what's so good about it? It's actually one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism? Qin Mingyue glanced at Han Peacock and said.

Han Peacock said: "This is also alive, a gem that can grow, isn't it happy to look at?" You must know that among the types of gemstones popular in Buddhism today, the "Seven Treasures of Buddhism" is the first gemstone that can be used to ward off evil and avoid evil, according to the "Prajnaparata Honey Heart Sutra" recorded as "Tridacn, gold, silver, agate, coral, glass, amber".

Among these seven gemstones, the most unknown and rarest gemstone in the world is the clams, because it mainly comes from the Indian Ocean or the deep sea of the western Pacific, or a small part of the crustal orogeny surfaced, so its production is very small and very valuable.

Because the clams have ornamental, medical and other practical value, and there is a legendary story, so since ancient times it has been called the 'Dragon Palace Rui Baby King' you see the shell of the sky, there are ditches on the outer surface, which are arranged in a radial shape, and the shape is like an ancient rut, so it is called a car canal, and the descendants have changed it to Tridacn.

At present, many countries and regions in the world have professional farms for clams, but due to the slow growth of clams, the products that can be provided by artificial farms are basically small, and such a large one is absolutely rare. ”

"I've heard for a long time that you've collected quite a few large sea creatures, and with this. Your collection has increased again. Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock nodded and said: "Someone gave me a bigger one before, plus this one, there is already a pair, if you can find a few more, the opening of the aquarium on Peacock Island in the future will definitely attract a large number of tourists." ”

"You already have one?" Qin Mingyue said in surprise.

Han Peacock nodded and said, "It was sent by a big man in China." ”

"In that case, let's get out of here! It's a little dark here, I'm scared. Qin Mingyue glanced at the beautiful scenery around her a little reluctantly, but thinking of the danger just now, she still decided to pull Han Peacock and leave quickly.

Han Peacock chuckled, "Don't worry." Just because there is no threat to us. I'm going to let this clams hold me, and if I'm in danger, I have a lot of ways to get rid of them in an instant. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I know you are powerful. But I was a little scared. Let's go back! ”

looked at Qin Mingyue, who didn't believe it. Han Peacock reluctantly took out a rifle from the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, the rifle was already loaded with a grenade, and Han Peacock fired a shot not far away.

Watch as a huge undersea reef is blown to pieces. Qin Mingyue opened her mouth in surprise and was speechless.

Qin Mingyue is an authentic ordinary person, she has never been in contact with real love, and now she has observed the power of the grenade up close, and she is directly stunned.

"Aren't you afraid? Enjoy the beauty of the seabed, and after returning to the magic capital, there are not many such opportunities. Han Peacock said.

Han Peacock gave Qin Mingyue confidence, and she gradually became happy, the clams she encountered today were also one meter three or four long, and her size was not small.

"What can this clams be used for?" Qin Mingyue asked as she touched the white shell.

Han Peacock said: "The meat can be eaten, and the shell is used as a handicraft carving material, so that this big guy can be used to make a contribution to the beautification of human life." ”

"By the way, the places you mentioned just now, but without our current place, how can there be clams here?" Qin Mingyue thought of what she had just said and asked.

Han Peacock said: "Tridacnidae and pearl mussels, suitable for living in a warm sea environment, in addition to the South China Sea, there are also the waters near the bend island to produce clams, the ocean current here is warm, it should be because of this reason, there will be clams inhabiting here." ”

When they were underwater today, Han Peacock felt that the sea temperature in this sea area was not low, that is, near the habitat of the clams, there was a great possibility of storing geothermal resources.

If this is the case, the heat source should not be too far away, and if a small island can be built here, maybe an underwater geothermal well can be drilled to bring hot water to the island, so that it is equivalent to having a hot spring?

When the snow falls in winter, take a dip in the steaming pool, hold a drink in hand, and watch the snowflakes fall slowly.

Hehe, this kind of luxurious life, it's really desirable to think about it!

However, this is not the open sea after all, let alone around Peacock Island, so such a thing is just a matter of thinking.

"What are you thinking? Actually laughing like this? Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock said his thoughts, and Qin Mingyue said: "Maybe there are geothermal resources near Peacock Island, you send someone to look for it, maybe you will encounter it, so that there will be a hot spring island?" Wouldn't it be more attractive for people from all over the world to travel? ”

When Han Peacock put away the huge clams, the two of them came to the narrow underwater depression again, where the scene of rocks and algae flowing did not change.

The bottom of the sand and gravel and the surface of the rock are still crawling with large and small mussels, and the water temperature here is still higher than that of other places, but for a while I can't see where the heat source is, so I can only leave it for a special investigation later, after all, this is a habitat for clams, and I may be able to harvest a little here in the future.

After noting down the coordinates here, Han Peacock continued to look for large mussels that looked valuable in the stone thickets, although large pearl mussels may not necessarily produce large pearls, but the probability is definitely much greater than that of small mussels.

Since there are not many wild natural pearls in nature at present, they should be cherished, so he thought about it and decided to only take the old ones.

After searching for a while, I found that most of the pearl mussels were less than 20 centimeters long, and there were only a few above them.

Qin Mingyue was not interested in this kind of shell, so she asked Han Peacock to bless her with a water curtain, and she ran to play nearby.

This is also Han Peacock's ability is stronger, you must know that he can't do this kind of Cheng dù.

After all, now Qin Mingyue is holding a layer of water curtain, leaving the surroundings of Han Peacock and running away to play.

This is a great test of Han Peacock's ability to control water.

After searching for more than ten minutes, there was no big gain, but Han Peacock was not discouraged, but continued to search.

This narrow strip is actually quite a small area, and it is said that as the habitat of pearl mussels and clams, it is estimated that there will be a lot of time, and there should still be large mussels in any case.

The hard work paid off, and finally, he found his target again at the base of two white rocks side by side.

It was three large white oblong mussels, and the color of the shell surface was close to the surface of the rock, which played a protective role in color, and it was not easy to find without careful observation.

This time, the Han peacock was able to find them, which was completely unexpected, because the shells of these three clams were all open at this time, so they became very conspicuous.

The appearance of the large clams is not pretty, but when the shell is opened in the sea, the body is brightly colored, not only peacock blue, pink, emerald green, brown and red, but also a variety of patterns.

Therefore, the three clams, which are white on the outside and colorful and beautiful on the inside, have directly become the harvest of Han Peacock, and at this time, Han Peacock can't figure out which clams were found in the simulated fish monitored underwater.

Now he already knows that all giant clams will naturally disguise themselves, and if it weren't for the open shells and the cameras equipped on the simulated fish, they wouldn't have been able to find any giant clams.

As they approached, the three clams quickly closed their shells, but it seemed to be too late.

According to visual inspection, the Han peacock is estimated to be more than 125 to 130 centimeters in length, which are three rare large mussels.

Han Peacock was pleasantly surprised, leaned over and unceremoniously arrested all three big guys and put them into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

With another harvest, Han Peacock thought happily: To say that these shellfish are really very characterful! The small ones swaggered unscrupulously outside, while the big ones hid in dark corners, for fear of being seen, and they didn't know if the shellfish would be wiser the longer they lived.

After checking again, no new targets were found, so Han Peacock found Qin Mingyue and prepared to stop here today.

On the way, Han Peacock caught a few more clams about 20 centimeters in his hand, while Qin Mingyue took two clams that were only the size of a palm, and compared them with a larger clams in Han Peacock's hand. (To be continued......)
