Chapter 467 Treasures under the sea

In the area with many reefs in the outer Lingdingyang, Chen Zhengqian also saw another type of sea shell that was larger than the big mother-of-pearl.

Ku's giant clam (pronounced as "chequ").

Kushi's giant clam, also known as giant clam, is the largest shellfish in the world. It can reach a maximum of 1.3 meters and weigh 900 kilograms. Moreover, giant clams have a long lifespan and can generally live for more than one hundred years. Among shellfish, they can definitely be considered a long-lived animal.

Maybe everyone has no idea about the size of giant clams. Let me give you a chestnut. A giant clam shell like this can be used as a bathtub for children.

Moreover, the closing power of giant clams is simply amazing. Someone has tried that giant clams can break the iron chain of the anchor, which is so cruel!

However, Chen Zhengqian did not plan to catch it. Although this thing is of high value and has a very delicious meat, it is called "the best of sea shells" and is also listed as a national first-class protected animal, but Chen Zhengqian is somewhat uncommon.

It's not good-looking, what's the use of it? It takes up space in the Qiankun bag. It's better to keep space and put a few more dishes and bottles.

Although he had no idea about giant clams, Chen Zhengqian turned around and became interested in another thing next to him.

Red coral.

Kushima tridacna grows in coral bushes.

Red coral is also a national first-class protected animal and is also classified into fish. Chen Zhengqian always thought it was from stone.

Since ancient times, red coral has been regarded as a wealthy and auspicious thing. In the Eastern Buddhist scriptures, it is also listed as the seven treasures of Buddhism. Westerners list red coral, pearl and amber as the three major organic gems.

In fact, red corals are made up of coral polyps, grow very slowly, and are severely affected by the region. They are limited to Daiwan Strait and Xiaoyuan Ji Strait, as well as Baltic Strait and Mediterranean Sea, so red corals are extremely precious.

Jewelry made of red coral is extremely popular and has been rising in the collection industry in recent years. It can be said that it is deeply loved by collectors.

Red corals are of high value and are sold by Lunke.

The most valuable and darkest aka red coral is worth between 500-2000/gram, and is mostly produced in the sea of ​​squat chicken and Daiwan. The common red color on the market is called "sardine", which is mostly produced in Italian, and the price is between 200-300/gram.

There is also an orange-red mo, the price is 250-500/gram, which depends on the quality.

The sea area here is not far from Daiwan Strait, but not close. Chen Zhengqian doesn’t know why red coral appears. It may be that it is located at about 100 meters deep at the bottom of the sea and rarely arrives by ordinary people, so it is not discovered.

This thing is bright red and really conforms to the Chinese definition of auspiciousness and wealth. No wonder people like jewelry made of red coral so much. In Chen Zhengqian's opinion, it is more beautiful than agate crystal.

So Chen Zhengqian chose the two largest ones without hesitation.

However, you have to be careful when picking. This thing is of quality. The larger the red coral, the more valuable it is. If a branch is broken, Chen Zhengqian will feel distressed. Then put it on the shelf at home to ensure that a large number of visitors will be blinded.

I wonder if Old Man Yu would be so excited that he had a heart attack when he saw this thing?

I dug the red coral down and put it into the Qiankun bag. There are still a lot left, but they are all a little smaller, so let's leave it for those who are destined to be.

When hunting treasures under the sea, what you need is the mood of discovering treasures that make people happy from time to time. The biggest treasure in the world is in this sea.

The scope that humans can explore is limited after all, and the commonly used methods of exploration are artificial diving or sonar detection. However, the places Chen Zhengqian can explore are wider than anyone else, and he has more advantages than others.

In addition, even if others find something valuable in the sea, they may have to hand it over to the country, and then exchange it for a few hundred yuan bonus and a small pennant.

However, he had no such concerns. He put the things he found directly into Qiankun's bag. Who knows?

It can be said that just a water-avoiding droplet brings him is already an endless treasure house!

Chen Zhengqian is very grateful, thanks to God, thanks to fate, thanks to himself, and even thanks to everyone who brings happiness to him in his life.

So you must live well!

As we go further and further, the sea area here is getting deeper and deeper, and there are gradually more fish species.

Large areas of tropical fish swim past Chen Zhengqian, with colorful colors.

Chen Zhengqian also saw a beautiful tortoiseshell.

I guess you have heard of hawksbill. It is a type of sea turtle, and its appearance is similar to that of ordinary sea turtles, but what is more special is that its mouth is different from ordinary sea turtles. It is in the shape of an eagle beak and has an obvious hook.

In addition, there are beautiful patterns on the tortoise shell on the back, colorful, equivalent to gems, which can be used as jewelry sculptures, etc. Therefore, tortoiseshells have been hunted in large quantities and their number has dropped sharply, and have become endangered protected animals.

The so-called "no business" means no killing, since ancient times.

Hawksbill turtle is still the only turtle that can swallow glass, but there is too much garbage at sea, so you will still die after eating it.

The tortoiseshell in front of him was quite large, probably about 1.5 meters away. The huge turtle shell was shiny and very beautiful. It was not afraid to see Chen Zhengqian, and just swam slowly by him.

Chen Zhengqian's prank was rising, and he swam over the tortoiseshell and landed on his back.

The tortoiseshell was frightened and suddenly waved his limbs and tugged the sea water.

However, Chen Zhengqian firmly sucked on its back and would not be thrown off by it at all.

Thumb gave up, shrunk his head and limbs, falling directly to the bottom of the sea without moving.

Chen Zhengqian rolled his eyes. This is too cunning. Forget it, I won’t play anymore.

After kicking this guy hard, Chen Zhengqian continued to move forward.

A shipwreck was found in the middle of the journey, probably a warship sunk in modern wars. Chen Zhengqian looked at it for a few times and was no longer interested. He was covered with a pile of rags, and there was probably no bones left.

Only when Chen Zhengqian was not able to see the ancient merchant ship for a long time, he was a little anxious.

Seeing that it was almost done, I called out the treasure hunter again.

"Xiaobao, help me find out if there are any shipwrecks nearby. After walking for so long, please come and get me excited." Chen Zhengqian said, after walking for so long, the harvest is not great, compared with the entire ocean.

The treasure hunter crawled out of his pocket again, yawned, then sniffed it with his nose, put it forward and pointed at the direction of eleven o'clock, and crawled back to sleep.

Chen Zhengqian was speechless, he hadn't even been able to rest.

After getting the clue, Chen Zhengqian was not in a hurry. He took out mineral water and dry food, ate a little first, and then rushed to the road.

I hope I can find the shipwreck this time. Half-paper love letter 0 says that writing such popular science chapters is really painful. In order to avoid others saying that I plagiarize, I have to re-touch myself, and I feel tired.
