Galactic Garbage Station

Chapter 63: Treasure hunt

Su Shi took a huge shell and looked back and forth. It is about 25 centimeters in length, about five kilograms. It can be taken by two hands. The shell is thick and looks like a dish. The left shell is slightly raised, the right shell is flat, and the front ear is slightly raised. The ear processes disappear into a rounded shape. The shell surface is brown, the top scale of the shell is tight, and the scale layer on the trailing edge of the shell is free.

"This seems to be a white butterfly." Su Shi looked more and more eyes bright, white butterfly shell, also known as the big pearl mother shell, white snail pearl shell, is a tropical, subtropical ocean bivalve shellfish, in China is the South China Sea unique pearl shellfish . Its pearl reserves account for about 90% of the total reserves of all kinds of pearls in Hainan Province. The pearls produced are large, good in color and high in price. They are precious decorations and medicinal materials. They are very popular in the international pearl market and are extremely high. Economic value.

However, due to the small number and high value, it was classified as a national level II protected animal and was banned.

"Little Tiger, where did you get this white butterfly?" Su Shi asked, he did not want to break this white butterfly to see if there are pearls inside, because he did not want to kill it, after all, is the national level II Protect the animals. I heard that some people have skillful skills, they can open the shell to remove the pearls, and the shells can survive. But the technique is undoubtedly as difficult as the operation. Su Shi does not recognize that level. Moreover, wild shells have a great chance of nurturing pearls. The possibility of pearls in this shell is no more than one percent.

"On the other side." The killer whale turned to the outside sea and screamed.

"Take me there." Su Shi took the net bag and the goggles and jumped on the back of the killer whale. The killer whale carried the Susie and the waves and galloped for about 20 minutes, away from the coast of Sujia Village. Close to an uninhabited island, there are many small islands in this sea area that have not been developed.

When the uninhabited island was about 300 meters away, the killer whale screamed to remind Su Shi, then plunged into the sea and dive quickly. Even with Su Shi’s physical quality, he quickly felt chest compression. Unusually uncomfortable. People are not fish, and it is difficult to withstand the rapid changes in water pressure.

"Slow down." Su Shi quickly patted the killer whale and squeezed out two words in a breath. Killer whales slow down and slow down, 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters... The average person has 10 meters to feel the eardrum tingling, breathing difficulties, some professional divers can dive 15 meters, even 20 Meter. The limit of dive is the limit of people's resistance to water pressure, and it is also the limit against the physiological function of the body.

In January 2000, the Cuban Francisco Ferreira set a 162-meter free diving record in the Gulf of Mexico without carrying an air bottle and adjusting his breathing breath by his own lung capacity.

Su Shi’s current physical quality is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he slowly dive to more than 20 meters, still not feeling much. It has reached the depth of 50 meters or so, and it only feels a little uncomfortable.

Su Shi looked through the goggles to the bottom of the sea and found that this is the geological reef of the rocky reef, with a small amount of seabed plants, many white butterflies, some crawling, some are dead, lying quietly on the seabed. .

Su Shi directed the killer whale close to the bottom of the sea and opened a huge white butterfly shell in front. It was empty and turned over several times. Finally, I saw a pearl with a diameter of about 10 mm lying inside, but the naked eye could It is not very round and the color is average.

Su Shi continued to rummage, unable to breathe, and breathed on the surface of Shanghai, and then came down again, and one pearl after another was found by him. Among them, the quality is good or bad, and some should be worth thousands or even tens of thousands. yuan.

"Wow, it’s so big." Su Shi suddenly saw a shell, more than 30 centimeters long, let the killer whale swam past, opened it, and suddenly his eyes were wide, with a white pearl lying inside. , more than fifteen millimeters, and very round, full of luster, can not see a trace of sputum, although Su Shi is not very knowledgeable, but also can see that the value of this pearl is absolutely not low.

Su Shi looked for another moment, and almost all of the nearby white butterfly shells were found again. Five or sixty pearls were found. In addition to the flawless one, there are still more than a dozen qualities. Others are very general.

"Go, go everywhere."

Su Shi did not go back immediately, let the killer whale carry it, shuttle through the sea, and enjoy the scenery of the sea through the diving goggles. Although he was at the seaside, he did not dive so deep. He was free to play in the deep sea like this. the first time.

Su Shi can see all kinds of corals, seaweeds, fish, shellfish and crabs on the seabed. The underwater world can definitely be described as grotesque and strange. Once Su Shi accidentally touched a cluster of corals, I did not expect that. The coral suddenly moved, and then a black ink sprayed out. It turned out to be an octopus camouflage.

Su Shi encountered something strange and strange shells, blood corals and the like, and then put it into the net bag. This time, I didn't want to sell it. After all, I couldn't get a few dollars, but I wanted to take it back to my home collection.

Su Shi also thought that there are not many ancient shipwrecks on the sea floor. If he can find a ship filled with ceramics, gold and silver jewels, then he will make a big profit, but unfortunately the wreckage has not found one.

"Well? That fish is..."

Su Shi suddenly noticed a fish, a bit like a kind of expensive fish, but unfortunately did not see it, then saw it into the coral reef.

Su Shi commanded the killer whale to swam quickly and squeezed into a piece of coral. The fish continued to hide, but Su Shi saw it clearly this time. It was indeed a thrush, it had a high raised forehead, just like Napoleon Dai. The hat, so it is called "Napoleon".

It is a coral fish with the largest body size and longest life, and it can live for more than 30 years. It has long been traded as an economic fish, and its meat is tender and delicious. However, due to its small quantity and high price, one kilogram of suede can be sold for $200, and a fish lip can be sold for $300. .

However, studies in most areas have shown that the population of the squid is gradually decreasing due to commercial trade, and its sharp decline has once reached as high as 90%. Many juveniles are caught when they are not at the reproductive age, resulting in fewer and fewer adult fish that can be propagated. Misconduct during fishing threatens not only the survival of species, but also the fragile coral reef ecosystem.

Su Meiyu was listed as an endangered species in the 2004 IUCN Red Book. At the 13th CITES Conference on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in October 2004, Su Meiyu was It is listed in Appendix C of CITES and is strictly protected by the CITES Convention.

“Hey, it’s an endangered species.”

Su Shi still does not violate the law because of the great interests. If you don't look at the Su Mei fish, you can always see it. Many people only know that the Su Mei fish is delicious, but they forget that the Su Mei fish itself is also an ornamental fish.

Su Shi controls the killer whales to shuttle through the coral reefs. Because the killer whales are big, they can only pick up large gaps. They have found four or five snails in the coral reefs. They vary in size, small in size, and large in size. Twenty pounds.

"I am going to go, that is also a suture fish?"

Su Shi suddenly saw a huge figure, his eyes widened, and the commander whale swam quickly.
