Chapter 331: The Big Shell That Surprises Today
In the aisle of the cave, you can see a few simple beds.
When he walked to the innermost, Chu Mingcheng turned off the flashlight again.
There is a corner in the innermost part of the cave, which can be used as a room.
Standing around the corner, he stole inside.
By candlelight, he saw a man with a relatively fair complexion?
He didn't seem to be able to stay up all night, and he had already fallen asleep in bed.
Chu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, didn't he say that there was a woman, how could it be a man?
The cave was cold, and the other party was covered with a thin quilt, and he really couldn't determine the other party's physical characteristics.
But whether male or female, as long as you are a pirate, there is no good thing.
Chu Mingcheng had already learned that the so-called property of the pirate leader was under the bed, and obviously he had to get rid of the person sleeping in the bed first.
Walking over secretly, the person on the bed seemed to be very alert, and suddenly opened his eyes.
When he found that there was a stranger next to his bed, he instinctively wanted to scream in fright, and his hand reached under the pillow to grope for something, he should be looking for a weapon.
Chu Mingcheng's reaction speed was much faster than him, and he immediately stepped forward with a big bidou, and there was a "snap" in the cave, and the half-loud exclamation suddenly stopped abruptly.
Looking at the person who was thrown unconscious by one of his own big bidous, he was now sure.
This thing is really a man, the woman in Naranan's mouth.
Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng was agitated and took two steps back.
At the same time, he gave Da Bidou's palm and wiped it vigorously on the cave wall, his face full of disgust.
"Made, bad luck!"
Chu Mingcheng, who understood what was going on, was disgusted, and directly stepped forward to lift the bed.
The big bidou seemed to be very powerful, and the person on the bed fell to the ground and was pressed by the bed without any reaction.
Chu Mingcheng didn't bother to care about him, and found a wooden box under the bed.
I opened it and took a look, and found that there were some small gold nuggets inside, and there were not many of them.
There are still some jewelry and jewelry, as well as three stacks of green coins, about 300,000 yuan.
Although Chu Mingcheng disliked the green coin, he still took the box away directly.
Of course, there are still some possessions in the cave.
He had already learned from Lanan where the private money of the rest of the pirates was.
Outside the cave, he found a shovel, re-entered the cave, dug holes here and there under several pirate beds, and then dug up six gold bars.
Put the gold bars into the box as well, and then threw the shovel, Chu Mingcheng turned on the flashlight and returned cautiously the way he came.
Lifting the box on the water and swimming all the way back to the Poseidon, it was already five o'clock in the morning.
The sun had already popped up a little bit on the horizon, Chu Mingcheng casually threw the box in the cabin, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
As for the unconscious man on the island, let him fend for himself!
If he has the ability to survive on an isolated island, he may still have a chance to wait for a passing ship to bring him home.
If you can't get water and food, that's good news.
Chu Mingcheng was not afraid that he would be exposed, it was so dark at night, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and the people who knew his face were already cold.
I took a bath, settled breakfast first, and poured some dog food to feed the dogs.
He then went to the wheelhouse with the box in his arms and started the Poseidon to the place where the pirate shipwreck was yesterday.
Black eating black is just a whim, and his main business is still fishing.
The Poseidon drove slowly on the surface of the sea, while Chu Mingcheng reopened the box and began to calculate the value of the gold inside.
Next to the box was the electronic scale, and he took out all the gold and put it on the electronic scale.
In addition to some gold bars, there are many gold bracelets, rings, as well as necklaces, and these quantities seem to be more than gold bars.
A total of more than 16 catties and 7 taels, which is almost more than 3 million.
There were so many, which greatly surprised Chu Mingcheng.
As for the rest of the jewelry, there are only three. A jade bracelet, a pendant with red jewels, and a platinum diamond ring.
I don't know what the material of the jade bracelet is, if the material is good, it must be worth something.
Red jewelry, it may be red agate, this is worth it Chu Mingcheng really doesn't know.
As for the diamond ring, he was the least concerned.
Don't look at the diamond is not small, but this thing has a proper IQ tax, and the buying price is very different from the selling price.
Among them, the jade bracelets and pendants are very good-looking, but Chu Mingcheng will not give these dirty goods to Jiang Luoluo.
If you have a channel, you can exchange it for money privately, and if you don't have it, you can keep it for the time being.
As for these green coins, it is also useful to keep them, and Chu Mingcheng will put them on the ship when they are ready.
At least when the waves on the high seas run out of fuel, he can find an oil tanker to refuel and pay with green coins.
With millions of white, Chu Mingcheng's mood is still very good.
After putting everything in his bedroom and throwing the boxes into the sea, he took the initiative to take the killer whales to the nearest bigeye tuna colony and feasted them on a good meal.
If it weren't for killer whale protection last night, he probably would have been in a lot of trouble.
By the time the killer whales had eaten enough and the Poseidon came to the rat spot again, it was already early in the afternoon.
He also took the time to draw today's tuna gathering point and real trevally gathering point.
After coming to the coral reef, Chu Mingcheng drove a boat around the coral reefs, and really found several gathering points of deep-sea fish from the fish finder.
Then he changed into a diving suit and went to the water to see the specific ecological environment.
He didn't come here to prepare for fishing, hunting or fishing for the time being, and he froze the fish before returning to the sea, which was actually consuming the freshness of the fish.
His job the other day was to find a suitable fishing spot, and he would not start fishing until the next few days.
As for the real trevally, this is purely an accident and is treated exceptionally in special circumstances.
With a spear and speargun, as well as a flashlight for lighting, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water.
Although there are killer whales, there will be no sharks here.
But with such a good ecology, if there are giant groupers, it would be a pity to miss it.
The water area where the Poseidon is located is more than 150 meters deep.
Even if the water quality is clear, it is impossible to see the situation at the bottom of the water, Chu Mingcheng dived straight after entering the water, and it only took a while to come to the deepest point.
The bottom of the water is dim, and only one place can be illuminated by a flashlight.
However, as soon as he came to the bottom of the water, he found that there were many aquatic plants and seaweeds under the water, and there were many reefs, so his face showed a little joy.
Coral reefs and reefs are very suitable for fish to inhabit, so it means that as long as the deep-sea fish resources here are not overfished, they will definitely be harvested every time they come in the future.
After swimming in the water, Chu Mingcheng found a lot of long-tailed sea bream, swinging gracefully in the water.
The speargun in his hand was about to move, and knowing that it was not a good time to hunt, he swung his legs and suddenly rushed towards the water.
In a few moments, he was out of the water.
After looking at the location of the Seagod and identifying the next direction, Chu Mingcheng swam to the northwest.
After swimming more than a thousand meters, he dived again.
After nearly two hours of effort, Chu Mingcheng finally completed the exploration of the deep-sea fish resources around the coral reef.
The extent of this coral reef is very wide, and there can be thousands of rat spots, which has already illustrated the fish resources here.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng found a full five deep-sea fish fishing spots around the coral reef.
There is even a very large pit in one of them, and the depth of the pit is only about ten meters, but there are not too many fish gathered in it.
There are countless kinds of medium and large groupers, octopus, red fish, and so on.
If you go down the net, it's worth millions, to say the least.
In fact, just such a location is enough for Chu Mingcheng to fish alone, and he is not afraid of resource depletion if he fishes casually.
But for an ocean-going fishing vessel, no matter how abundant a fishing spot is, it is not enough.
Its fishing speed was far from being comparable to a fishing boat in Chu Ming City.
As long as you stay at this fishing spot for a month, it is estimated that the fish resources of the entire reef area will be at least one-third, or even half-less, which will undoubtedly destroy the health of the area.
After confirming a treasure place, Chu Mingcheng was not idle, and continued to drive towards the next gathering place of rat spots and eastern star spots.
There were far fewer Eastern Star Spots and Rats over there, but they were the closest gathering points to him on the map.
Chu Mingcheng didn't have anything to choose for the time being, so he definitely had to go over and see the situation first.
The gathering point is located in the southeast of the current location, about 60 nautical miles away.
The location of the eastern star spot is basically south, and it feels like it has come from autumn to summer, and the weather is hot.
It's just that after Chu Mingcheng drove for two hours, he happened to pass a coral reef with more than a dozen eastern star spots, but no mouse spots.
Because of the signs on the map, he looked curiously.
Immediately, he discovered that the coral reefs in this place seem to be not small!
Turning the bow of the boat, slowly approaching, and then driving around the coral reefs, he found two deep-sea fish resource points on the fish finder.
It seems that he has inadvertently found another suitable fishing spot, and Chu Mingcheng is quite happy.
At least the location of these fishing spots is not far away, and it will be convenient for Zhao Jun to fish in the future.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not set, Chu Mingcheng hurriedly entered the water to explore the fish resources.
This time, he didn't bother to change into a wetsuit, so he jumped into the water as soon as he took off his clothes.
However, when he reached the bottom, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
How is it that there are destroyed corals everywhere?
Many of the corals were broken in the middle, and some were even dug up by the roots, as if they had been plowed several times by trawl.
Immediately, Chu Mingcheng took a closer look at the wound of the lower coral, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from this wound, time should have passed a long time, and it is not just a plague.
This also means that the fishing spot he found is safe for the time being, and will not be discovered by other ocean-going trawlers for the time being.
Then he took a rough look at the deep-sea fishing spots and the shallow coral reefs.
The reef has been plowed over and over again, and the entire reef has been devastated.
It is estimated that it will take at least thousands of years to restore it to its original state.
Fortunately, the two deep-sea fish gathering places were not destroyed much, and it was okay to fish for deep-sea fish.
In this place, Chu Mingcheng can come to fish for deep-sea fish by himself, and there is no need for Zhao Jun to come over, it is a pure waste of time.
It wasn't early today, so he then hit a ten-pound eastern star spotter with a speargun and brought it back to brush the pot.
After returning to the boat and rinsing his body, and changing into a pair of underwear, Chu Mingcheng continued to drive towards his destination.
When he got to the place, he found that there was a desert island that was not small.
However, now that it was late at night, Chu Mingcheng was not too close.
He looked around the island, but saw no sign of the boats, but found a coconut tree or two on the beach.
Since discovering the traces of the pirates on the desert island last night, Chu Mingcheng is still relatively vigilant about the desert island.
He deliberately moved the boat away from the desert island and then prepared dinner for himself.
The killer whale has been following him and will be reminded of the situation, but he is not too worried and sleeps peacefully.
Fortunately, tonight was fine, and he slept beautifully.
When he got up the next day, Chu Mingcheng finally saw the situation on the desert island clearly.
On the southeast side of the desert island is a continuous coral reef where rat and eastern star groupers live.
Of course, the scale is not at all comparable to the first discovered location.
But this was not what Chu Mingcheng was interested in, because he found that there were unexpectedly many coconut trees on this desert island, and there were more than a dozen.
With so many coconut trees, you may be able to find a few ripe coconuts.
There was a lot of fruit on board, but he didn't dislike the natural and wild coconut.
Don't look at the fact that it's almost November, and the coconut trees on the island are still hanging with ripe fruits.
Chu Mingcheng put down his binoculars and temporarily confirmed that there was no trace of human activity on the island.
He took out his newly purchased rubber boat, filled it with air and put it into the water, then carried a small propeller full of gasoline, and put a toolbox and an empty plastic fish box on it, and then sat down himself and drove to the island.
The killer whales had disappeared since he woke up in the morning, and he should have gone to cook.
Chu Mingcheng didn't care about them, if he didn't come back with enough food, it would be a big deal to take them to cook a big meal.
Arriving on a desert island and dragging the dinghy on the beach, he took out a woodcutter from his kit and walked towards the coconut tree.
However, as soon as he reached a coconut tree, he found many open coconut shells at the edge of the bushes, and even the remains of other fruits and nuts.
Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up, in this case, there are coconut crabs on the island!
This thing is basically gone in the wild in China, and it is uncertain whether there is still on the desert island in Qiongzhou.
Anyway, it is a wild protected animal, and no one dares to fight their idea.
But this is the open sea, and coconut crabs are flooded in some countries, and if they encounter them, Chu Mingcheng is really a little interested in them.
On the high seas, this thing is the same as the Eastern Star Grouper, which can be eaten, but it cannot be brought into the country to be bought and sold or even cooked.
Of course, it's okay to release animals, but normal people shouldn't do it.
Then Chu Mingcheng gave up the coconut and went to look for the coconut crab first.
He followed the husk remains to find out if there were any caves of coconut crabs around, and after a while, his whole body was hot and sweaty, the clothes on his chest were wet, and his strong pectoral muscles were looming.
But if you just look for it, you may not be able to find it.
It took him half an hour to find a lot of caves that were suspected to be coconut crabs, but unfortunately only a few small coconut crabs were found.
They were the size of fists, and their parents didn't know where they had gone.
Fortunately, this is good news for him, at least he is sure that there are coconut crabs on this island.
Chu Mingcheng thought about it and felt that it might be a good way to take the initiative to attract them.
So he hurried back to the beach, pushed the dinghy into the sea, and then returned to the Poseidon.
Then he took two apples out to use as bait, and there were not many apples on the boat, and two were barely enough as bait.
Back on the island, Chu Mingcheng used a diving knife to cut the apple into four pieces and placed it in the place of the wreckage of some sailors.
In order to make the coconut crab take the bait quickly, he came to the bottom of a coconut tree, hugged the trunk with both hands, easily climbed to the top of the tree, and twisted off two slightly yellowed coconuts with his hands.
This coconut is just right, and the coconut water has a sweet taste.
He used a wood knife to cut the coconut and sprinkled the coconut water directly near the apple bait, hoping that the smell of the coconut would disperse and attract the coconut crab faster.
After doing all this, he began to climb trees to collect coconuts.
He started with the coconut tree closest to the bush on the left, and as soon as he got there, he saw a large spider larger than a basketball crawling on the trunk.
“.”
Chu Mingcheng couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
After bothering to make a bait trap for a long time, he found the owner in a blink of an eye.
Forget it, let's think of it as food for the little coconut crab!
Coconut crabs are slow moving and very easy to catch.
However, the bite of its pincers was amazing, Chu Mingcheng reached over and let the coconut crab clamp it, and his other hand took the opportunity to grab its body and grabbed it off the trunk.
This coconut crab is quite heavy, and it feels like it may be ten pounds, and it should be the ancestor of the coconut crab on this island.
After living for such a long time, there is a high probability that he is tired of being alive, and Chu Mingcheng feels that he needs to do a good deed.
Grabbed the coconut crab and put it in the fish box on the rubber boat, and the trip to the island was a complete one.
He then continued to harvest the coconuts, plucked a total of ten coconuts and put them on the dinghy, and then prepared to go back.
But before he went back, he went to see how the bait trap was going.
As a result, I saw several large coconut crabs, six of them.
Although it is smaller than the one he caught, it is estimated that it is more than five catties.
As for the number of small coconut crabs, there are even more, at least a dozen.
Chu Mingcheng suddenly wondered, where did these guys go, why didn't he meet them just now?
However, he didn't continue to plague these coconut crabs, it was enough to have an old ancestor here, and the next time he brought his daughter-in-law over, he would harm another one.
Back on the boat, Chu Mingcheng took down all the things on the rubber boat, dragged the rubber boat up by the way, rinsed the hem and dried it on the deck, and then deflated it when the water was dry and received it in the tool room.
Then he's going to get to work.
It was daytime, not evening or night, and he was too embarrassed to go into the water shirtless, so he changed into a wetsuit.
After Chu Mingcheng was launched, he swam to the bottom of the water first as usual.
This time, the Poseidon did not appear above the deep-water fishing spot, but was closer to the island.
So the water depth here is only about 40 meters, and it is a sandy area.
Chu Mingcheng was about to swim to the deep water area, but was noticed by a palm-sized shell on the sand bed.
I had a coconut crab today, so it was nice to make a barbecue that night.
Make a few scallops, if the meat is delicious, then get some vermicelli roasted scallops to eat, so he picked up the shellfish.
'What kind of shell is this?' ’
Chu Mingcheng didn't recognize it for a while, but basically the shellfish could be eaten, he put it in the net pocket he carried with him, and prepared to take a picture with his mobile phone to check it when he returned to the boat.
He basically knows all about fish and shrimp, and he can recognize most of them even from abroad, but his knowledge of conch and shellfish is very average.
Then he found another one that was about the same size, and two of them were enough for him to eat, so he began his work today.
It took more than an hour to explore all the fish resources near the reef.
The resources here are also abundant, not as good as the first fishing spot, but it can still be used as one of Zhao Jun's fishing spots.
After returning to the boat, after a brief shower, he continued to the next fish gathering spot, and continued to record the situation of the two fish of interest on the way.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Mingcheng returned to the boat from the water, and so far he had found three fishing spots with very good resources.
Judging from the map of the mouse spots, he could reasonably find hundreds of gathering points, but some of them were too far away to be necessary.
But he had to go to see the thirteen gathering points in the vicinity.
After taking a bath, Chu Mingcheng fed the dog some dog food and moved the two tables to the deck.
And he took out the charcoal grill and put it on it.
He lit a charcoal fire first, then he took out the coconut crab and killed it, brought a large brush to wash the coconut crab, and finally put it in a pot to steam.
Then he took out the shellfish he had picked up today, and because the surface was dirty and sandy, he first washed the shells with a brush.
Soon, a large shellfish with some white stains that could not be washed off appeared in front of him.
"This looks a little familiar!" Chu Mingcheng took this big shell and carefully observed it back and forth.
This large shellfish belongs to high-quality aquatic products, so there is no hint in the aquatic product illustrated book, only a little experience.
So Chu Mingcheng took out his mobile phone, took a photo of this big shell, and then clicked to identify.
After a while, the specific information of this big shell was displayed in the mobile phone.
"Damn, it's a white lipped mussel?" Chu Mingcheng was immediately overjoyed, and the meat of the white lipped mussels was said to be very delicious.
But that's not the problem, the point is that white lipped oysters can be cultured with pearls.
Its pearls are not only large-grained, but also very good in color.
It is not only a valuable ornamental jewelry, but also a precious medicinal material, and its value is much higher than that of ordinary pearls.
And this is still the case of domestic breeding, if there is no breeding, it will definitely be more expensive.
In fact, there are wild ones along the southern coast of China, but they are protected, so those who want to dig pearls don't have to think about it.
But at this moment, Chu Mingcheng excitedly took a knife and opened this white butterfly shell, which was so capricious in the open sea.
After opening it, he first observed the back shell wall of the white lipped oyster, and found that there was no trace of pearls on it, which may be different from the pearl mussel.
Then he began to dissect the white lipped oyster, whether there were pearls or not, he had to remove the dirt inside, and he wanted to eat it!
Then, he really let him take out three pearls, one large and two small.
As luck would have been, the larger one probably reached ten millimeters in diameter and was very round and shiny.
And the two small ones are not of much value, conical in shape, yellowish in color, useless.
Chu Mingcheng carefully put the big pearl away and looked at the second white lipped oyster.
Now, for Jiang Luoluo's engagement jewelry, maybe you can have one more.
