Chapter 111: A New Discovery!
"Can Jing Ran still breathe in the water? I'll go, which makes me embarrassed as a landlubber before the crossing? Soon, Zhu Zilong made a new discovery.
The dragon can avoid water in the water, move very fast, and in addition to being able to breathe in the water, the effect of water pressure on Zhu Zilong has also been reduced a lot, of course, it is not completely reduced. This made him, who couldn't swim in his previous life, immediately excited in the sea.
In the night waters of this vicinity, he is surging around.
However, it is not completely unlimited, for example, if you move quickly, you need to consume dragon energy as an energy base. (The principle of energy conservation!) )
It took a long time to play Zhu Zilong to calm down.
Then try to find the area where the fisherman said the black pearl appeared. As a result, I don't know if the location they said was too vague, or because there were too few shells for this kind of black pearl, and I couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so I had to do it for the time being.
On land, Zhu Zilong has night vision, and as a half-dragon, he naturally doubles his night vision ability in the sea at home.
In the blink of an eye, in a different direction, he saw a difference in the group of submarine reefs, and when he looked closely, his eyes immediately became round.
The Black Pearls didn't find them, but they did run into them.
Is Jingran an abalone population?
Zhu Zilong swam over, circled around, and found a total of more than 100 double-headed abalones, dozens of one-and-a-half-headed abalones, and more than a dozen single-headed abalones on the reef group.
Moreover, it is also known as the king of abalone.
Now, 2020 in the 21st century. Even 16 net abalone will cost HK$41,800 per catty, and the price of 7 net abalone will be about HK$52,800. Catty. HK$110,000 per catty for 4 net abalone, HK$165,000 for 3 net abalone.
The double-headed abalone is priceless and unmarketable, and basically only the most distinguished guests consume it internally.
(Note: HK$ refers to Hong Kong dollars.) 1 Hong Kong dollar is about eight dimes in RMB, of course, it is said that this price is still rising, so it will not be wrong to think that the price of RMB will not be much wrong)!
In other words, if Zhu Zilong wins all the abalone that is bigger in front of him, he will only be able to exchange it for tens of millions of yuan in modern times.
Why are they so valuable?
One is because of the hype, and the other is that things are scarce and expensive.
Because the growth of abalone is very, very slow, the shell can reach 2-3 cm in about one year, and 4-5 cm after two years. Abalone with a shell length of more than 10 cm is about six or seven years long, and the shell length of 10 cm is not necessarily double-headed abalone, under normal circumstances, the size of double-headed abalone should reach about ten years of growth cycle.
Like those dozen single-headed abalones, it is estimated that it will take decades to grow.
That's it, it's still theoretical data. In various situations in the wild, it is necessary to add those that are eaten by other fish, those who die accidentally, those who hang up in the middle of illness, those who are caught in advance, and so on. In this way, it is no wonder that people say that "it is difficult to buy double-headed abalone"!
Even, there are historical data to introduce that when the officials from all over the coast made a pilgrimage in ancient times. Most of them pay tribute to dried abalone as gifts. The first-grade officials paid tribute to the emperor with a single head of abalone, and the seventh-grade officials paid tribute to the seven-headed abalone, and so on, the abalone was linked to the level of the official's taste.
Zhu Zilong tried to catch the abalone with his hands, but found that with his current perverted strength, Jing Ran still couldn't catch it?
Only then did I remember a legend that when catching abalone, the only way to catch it was to take advantage of its unpreparedness and shovel it down or overturn it with a thunderbolt, otherwise even if you smashed its shell, you would never want to take it off.
The abalone clings to the rocks with its thick feet and flat plantar surfaces, crawling among the reef shelters and burrows.
An abalone with a shell length of 15 cm has a foot suction force of up to 200-400 kg. No matter how strong the wind and waves hit, you can't lift it up.
Zhu Zilong had to catch a few small abalones, ready to go home to taste them, and the others didn't move for the time being, anyway, they usually don't change places. When you bring your tools, you have time to catch them!
On his way back, he found many lobsters. This is also a good thing in the modern 21st century, look at the super lobster over there, more than a meter long. It should be the legendary splendid lobster, right?
Splendid lobster also has another name, which was called "god shrimp" in ancient times.
In the history of Taiping County, there is such a description: in the first year of Song Tiansheng (Northern Song Dynasty), the fisherman got in the sea, more than three feet long, the first two pincers can be two inches, the end has a red beard ruler, the head is like a number of liters, if painting-like, eyes, twelve feet, the text is like a tiger and a leopard. The large rate is colorful, and the shape is particularly different. The Chinese envoy Wu Zhonghua painted his portrait to smell, and the edict was named the god shrimp.
It is rich in protein, minerals and vitamins A and C, and the fat content is very low, which has the effects of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, nourishing blood and consolidating essence, removing stasis and detoxification, nourishing qi and nourishing yang, and relieving pain. However, people with allergies and gout are better not to eat!
(On November 12, 2014, a fisherman in Wenling Shitang, Zhejiang Province, in the 21st century, went to sea and caught a colorful "god shrimp".) The weight was about eight or nine catties, and finally a rich businessman was taken away on the spot with one million yuan. )
Sweep around, as long as you look for it with your heart, there are definitely a lot of this kind of shrimp. This kind of picture is absolutely not seen in modern times, in ancient times, there were few people who ate seafood, generally only coastal people ate some, the number of sea creatures, compared to the modern 21st century. Not only hundreds of times, but more than 10,000 times!
The ancient sea is really a living cornucopia, and you can become a multimillionaire casually after just coming down for a while.
Zhu Zilong sighed, and became more and more confident in the development prospects of the sea!
After returning to Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Zilong boiled the abalone into a fresh soup, a beautiful mouth.
When the abalone meat entered his stomach and digested it, he suddenly felt a stream of heat gushing out of his heart. Then it turns around and turns into a very special energy in the body, of course, this amount is very small.
In an instant, it was as if Dragon Ball had hit another hidden message prompt request for a suitable trigger.
A stream of information poured into Zhu Zilong's mind, making him stunned on the spot, and then there was a burst of ecstasy on his face.
People's energy comes from rice, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will become a dog hungry. And what about dragons?
Where does the dragon's special energy come from?
In addition to the innate energy, why is the same dragon clan strong and weak in ability?
One of the reasons lies in the practice and food that you have acquired.
Just as people are at the top of the food chain, the so-called law of the jungle is the truth. And in the dragon's food chain, water is its home. The truth of survival in the water is not a cruel world where the law of the jungle is the strongest?
As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud, and the dragon family is also a member of the food chain in the water, but it is the highest.
When they could still practice for a long, long time, in addition to using the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon to practice, the dragon clan could also rely on the creatures in the edible water to transform the essence of water, and gradually became stronger.
Therefore, the dragon clan is naturally rich and handsome in the army of cultivating immortals, and there are several more ways to improve their cultivation than the various immortal cultivators in the same period. They are so weak in "Journey to the West", it's just that the director needs them.
The real Dragon King of the Four Seas, that is the great god of the frontier. Only they can get married and have children like the Jade Emperor!
And, the Zhenwu Emperor (Dragon God) is the first heir to the throne of the Jade Emperor!
Why is it weak?
Of course, now that the Heavenly Dao has changed, even if Zhu Zilong is in the Ming Dynasty, he will not be able to practice normally. However, there is still a certain amount of magic in drinking water creatures and transforming energy to strengthen oneself.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong clenched his fists: "From now on, I will have three meals a day, one of the dishes, there must be fish and shrimp and the like!" ”
