Chapter 433 Deep Sea Coral (Plus Update, Chapter 7 Today, Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
It was a warning sign erected on the seashore that clearly stated that even a small scallop belonged to the ocean.
If you want to take some souvenirs with you, you should go to the designated shops to buy coral or conch craft products, but remember to keep the purchase receipt, otherwise you will be suspected of poaching!
Coral brings life to the Maldives, so the country's inhabitants are protecting them in their own way: no visitor is allowed to take anything from the sea, whether it's coral or shellfish.
The shallows around the small island of the Maldives seem to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrents are surging and dangerous, but fortunately, Han Peacock has the magic power to control the water, which can control the impetus of these undercurrents, making the two of them more calm underwater.
The Maldives is a unique group of coral atolls formed by large and small coral atolls.
Coral reef islands are a kind of limestone accumulation distributed in shallow water depths in the ocean, which is formed by the growth process of a variety of animals and plants that secrete limestone in the ocean.
These plants and animals are often referred to as "reef-building creatures".
The underwater corals are good, but not very much, there are corals in many shallow waters, and there are many fish with corals.
Generally watching the fish shuttling among the corals, Liu Wu said: "This is really amazing, what is your ability called?" Water cover? The water pressure is so great, how can this thin water cover be able to support it? What about air? Out of that flag of yours? It's amazing! ”
"There's nothing magical about it, it's just controlling the moisture to form a bubble, and the water pressure. It is supported by the air pressure inside the blister, if there is still pressure. The seawater that pressed against the blisters was collected by me into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. I just added some of the sea water in the flag, and I felt that the more water in the flag, the stronger my ability to control the water. Han Peacock said.
Liu Fu withdrew her gaze from the coral bush and landed on Han Peacock again, she said, "Looking at so many corals, why don't you put some of them into your Water World?" ”
Han Peacock has always been a person who takes advantage of it, why is he so gentlemanly this time? Is it because of the warning sign on it?
Han Peacock smiled and said, "What a pity these coral bushes have been destroyed!" ”
Liu Fu said with disdain: "Is it because you can't look down on these corals?" Also, these corals are really not pretty. ”
Han Peacock was speechless. He really didn't like these corals here.
Not to mention whether these corals are good or not, but there are often people here who visit them, and I know that there are definitely no excellent corals.
As for ordinary corals, Han Peacock already has a good way, he has already collected some fragments of polyps into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, those polyps reproduce very quickly, so Han Peacock now has no idea of destroying the environment here and collecting a large number of corals.
Chatting with catkins. Han Peacock controlled the direction and walked towards the deep sea, there were only those in the deep sea that he needed, and those did not belong to the Republic of Maldives, so he collected some. There will be no guilt either.
Now it's already dawning, if you don't hurry into the deep sea, here. It's easy to be discovered, if it does. It's definitely going to be a sensation.
Maybe at that time, the people who saw the catkins. I thought I was looking at a mermaid! At that time, it will be difficult for the two of them not to cause a sensation!
"Huh? That coral is ugly. As he went deeper into the seabed, Han Peacock felt that the water pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, Han Peacock had to put pressure on his own sea water and collect a large number of people from the Xuanyuan Water Flag to reduce the instantaneous pressure.
When the balance was found, Han Peacock could easily maintain the blister, wrapping the two of them and moving forward.
However, by this time the blisters had become very small, almost sticking to the presence of two people.
Han Peacock held the catkins in his arms and watched the beautiful scenery of the seabed while walking, at this time, the Han peacock also saw the coral that the catkins said, which was indeed ugly.
There is no luster at all in that clump of coral, there seems to be rust on it, and with the perverted perception of Han Peacock, you can easily find a lot of insect eyes on it, which is completely incompatible with beautiful corals.
"This should be dead coral." Han Peacock said.
Liu Wu said: "Dead coral? Is it the kind of coral that is to form islands and reefs or to make crafts? ”
Han Peacock smiled: "Dead corals will form coral reefs, and most of the crafts that can be made into crafts are live corals, and you have also seen that dead corals are so ugly, even if they are made into crafts, they are also used to deceive people." ”
"Coral can be faked, huh?" The catkins were a bit of a surprise.
"Of course, dead corals and most inverted corals do not meet the requirements of gem-quality corals in terms of texture and luster, and the price is far from the same, but because they are easier to obtain, some people often sell dead corals and inverted corals as live corals after being treated with glue and waxing.
Dead corals can often be picked up on the surface of the sea, and the dead corals that have been treated with glue and wax are not much different from live corals in appearance, but they will gradually reveal their true colors after wearing them for a long time, and the more they wear them, the more ugly they become. ”
Han Peacock took the catkins to get close to the dead coral, and let the catkins observe it closely, the dead coral has been completely substantiated, and there is no such agility as a living coral.
"It's still beautiful with live coral." Willow catkins said.
Han Peacock smiled bitterly: "It is because of this that live corals have suffered, and the corals that are generally used for ornamentation, or the corals used to make handicrafts, are all live corals, and the living corals in gemology refer to the corals that are still alive when they are salvaged."
After salvage, there is biological tissue on the surface, and the bone marrow is rich in oil, so the luster is bright, the texture is dense, and the toughness is also good, so the live coral is the raw material for processing high-grade coral products.
The coral that has died long ago when salvaged is this kind of dead coral, this kind of coral is soaked in seawater for a long time after death, and is eroded by seawater, not only loses its moist oiliness, is dry and loose, rust spots, luster and toughness are weakened, but also can be invaded by cannibalized coral organisms, leaving a lot of insect holes, which is a very poor coral material.
Inverted corals, in fact, are also dead corals, but the dead time is shorter, the erosion and insect pests by seawater are relatively small, and the luster texture is still not as good as that of live corals after processing. ”
Most of the corals here are light yellow, light brown or olive, and of course there are many white ones, but there are not many beautiful ones.
Looking at the catkins a little disappointed, Han Peacock said: "These are all stony corals, there are some special corals here, like the red coral that everyone knows, and the black coral that this country explicitly prohibits mining and exporting, these are definitely not easy to see, if there are here, they will have been taken away a long time ago." ”
"Why are those people so bad, you see they took the beautiful ones away, so that they can't look here." Liu Fu turned his head and looked at Han Peacock accusatory.
Han Peacock sweated profusely: "Don't look at me!" Am I not a saboteur? ”
"You're also trying to sabotage." Liu Fu continued to say indignantly.
Han Peacock bowed her head and softened, pregnant women are neurotic, and they don't have the same knowledge as her.
However, this is really wronged Han Peacock, he really doesn't need these shallow sea corals, so after the catkins were attracted by the surrounding coral bushes and fish, Han Peacock explained: "Shallow sea corals can't be used to make handicrafts, because the density and hardness are a little smaller, so they can only be used as strange stones for viewing, and cannot be used as raw materials for carving artworks." ”
"No wonder you don't destroy, it turns out to be useless." Liu Wu said directly.
Han Peacock was speechless again, and after a long while, Han Peacock defended: "Who said that these corals are useless? I can't bear to destroy, right? Shallow sea corals can greatly alleviate the damage to the coastal ecology caused by natural disasters such as typhoons and storm surges, so coral reefs can protect the land area from being encroached upon. ”
Liu Fu glared at Han Peacock and said, "You moved back to protect your island, what should you do?" ”
"So I'm a good person, and I don't plan to move, don't just wronged me." Han Peacock hugged the catkins and said.
The catkins snorted and laughed: "Let's go, let's go to the deep sea to mine red coral, I heard that red coral is the most beautiful." ”
Han Peacock said: "We are almost in the deep sea, but even in the deep sea, red coral is not so easy to find, after all, the corals here are very famous, and someone must come here to collect them." ”
"Thousands of meters deep in the sea, can someone come down?" Liu Wu said while bringing the headlamp given by Han Peacock.
Han Peacock said: "Of course, didn't we just come down?" ”
"Young man, I'm optimistic about you, hurry up and find red coral for me." Willow catkins said.
Han Peacock laughed and said, "Don't protect the coral at this time?" ”
"If you look for the kind of remote place, where it is not easy for humans to go down, and where there are many corals, if you find this kind of place, it is okay for us to collect some properly." Liu Fu was very smart and directly blocked Han Peacock's mouth.
Deep-sea coral is generally a coral that grows in a water depth of 200~2000 meters, because its petrification process is completed in the deep sea, the pores of coral jade are smaller, the density is larger, and the structure is dense, so it is the main raw material for various carved artworks and jewelry, so it is called precious coral.
Since red coral is the most precious of deep-sea corals, red coral has become synonymous with valuable corals.
Han Peacock's ability to control water makes him walk in the water more elegantly, in fact, it is better to say that it is walking, but it is better to say that it is the image of flying.
The two of them, like a leaf, were pushed by the current, rushing through the bottom of the sea, but Han Peacock's spiritual sense was not idle, after all, no one could tell what was on the bottom of the sea, in case they encountered a behemoth like the King Sour Fish, but it was very dangerous.
