environmental fisherman

Chapter 293 Returning empty-handed
When eating breakfast the next day, everyone was thinking about whether to continue fishing with the net today, when Liu Hao, who was eating chicken legs, suddenly said.

"Today we will stop fishing with the nets. Find a place to dive under the sea to find treasure."

"Okay! It's finally time to go treasure hunting." Luo Hao shouted happily.

"Boss, do you really not want to lower the net? In fact, you can go after finishing the fishing net. The work of setting the fishing net is not hard." Li Zhenjiang persuaded in a low voice.

He still puts fishing more seriously in his heart.After all, he is an old fisherman, and fishing at sea during this period has really brought him a lot of income.

So he didn't want to go to the bottom of the sea to waste time looking for those illusory treasures.

The sea is so big, although there are many valuable things down there, it is based on the premise that you can find it.

If the treasures under the sea were so easy to find, others would get rich looking for them.As far as he knows, there are many companies in the world that specialize in salvaging ancient sunken ships.

They are so professional, many companies have failed to find a sunken ship for several years or even ten years, not to mention amateurs like myself.

"It's okay. Diving consumes a lot of energy, so I won't lower the net today. Don't worry, Lao Jiang. With me, the fishing boat will definitely return with a full warehouse in the end. Don't worry."

"Okay, since you've said that, boss, then I won't say it." Li Zhenjiang nodded helplessly.

Seeing that the matter of diving and treasure hunting has been settled, the three newcomers Song Jianjun all smiled and looked very happy.

After all, they are about the same age as Brother Hao, and the exciting activity of treasure hunting is still very attractive to them.

Zheng Yu and Zhang Yu also had breakfast here, there was no way, the food here was really delicious.So they found an excuse to come to the fishing boat early, just to eat.

They listened to Liu Hao's conversation while eating, knowing that Liu Hao finally started looking for the sunken ship today, they were also very happy in their hearts.

After all, this is their main purpose of going to sea this time, and whether they can find the sunken ship is related to their future.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Hao asked Liu Jun to drive the fishing boat to the west for 800 meters, which was already relatively close to the place where he placed the wreck last night.

After everything was ready, Li Zhenjiang and Liu Jianbo were left to guard the fishing boat.

Liu Hao and the others put on the deep-water diving suits that Sun Binghai had brought over, and divided into two groups to swim slowly under the seabed.

The depth of the sea here is about 90 meters, and the bottom of the sea is dominated by reefs, but the scenery is still very charming.

Especially Song Jianjun and the three of them were even more amazed when they saw this colorful underwater world.The three of them live inland. When they were young, they used to dive in the river at most, looking at the many silt and pebbles at the bottom of the river.

The situation of the underwater world was only seen from books when I was in school.The world in front of them is just like what they saw from books and movies.

Schools of fish, seaweed, reefs and corals, all kinds of special things under the sea appeared before their eyes, and they even forgot their purpose of coming down to the bottom of the sea.

On the other side, Liu Hao and Liu Jun were swimming in groups of two.They have often dived before, so they are not too surprised by the beautiful underwater world in front of them.

Especially Liu Hao, he has seen this kind of beauty a lot in the different space.And the underwater world in the different space is clearer, more charming, and more colorful than here.

Liu Jun also dives often, so he just marveled in his heart, but he didn't forget the mission.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, he kept looking around at the surrounding seabed, trying to find a trace of the sunken ship from here.

Ten minutes later, the sunken ship was not found, but Liu Jun discovered a huge shell.

giant clam.

The name of the giant clam discovered by Liu Jun is called the saffron giant clam, and some people also call it the round giant clam.

Why is it said to be huge, because giant clams are the "king of shells" in the sea. Simply put, they are a large shell in the XXXXL version.

In ancient times, people saw that its shell had grooves, just like ancient ruts, so it was called Tridacna.

In addition to being big, giant clams also have a long lifespan, which can exceed one hundred years old. They can be called the "king of shellfish" in terms of size and lifespan.

In addition, don't look at his gray and plain shell, but he is known as the "beauty" hidden deep under the sea, because it has its own universe inside.

When giant clams open their shells, the insides are brightly colored, not only peacock blue, pink, emerald green, brown red and other bright colors, but also often have various patterns.

Although the saffron clam discovered by Liu Jun is not the largest among the species, it is the most colorful and beautiful among the clams.

When it comes to giant clams, naturally we cannot mention its preciousness.Because of their high degree of jade, bright and clean color, fine texture, and natural colors, they are of great ornamental value.Therefore, giant clams are often used by humans to make ornaments.

There are seven treasures in Buddhism, and Tridacna is the first of the seven treasures.Buddhists believe that holding giant clams to practice can accumulate more merit.

In addition, Tridacna can also be used as medicine. It is recorded in "Haiyao Materia Medica": Tridacna can soothe the nerves, relieve various poisons and insect stings.

Tridacna are all very big, among which the largest giant clam can grow up to about 2 meters and weigh more than 600 kilograms.

With such a big individual, its bead breeding ability is naturally extraordinary.

On May 1934, 5, a giant clam was discovered in the Gulf of Palawan, Philippines, and a huge pearl was found after opening it.

The size of this pearl is comparable to a basketball, and the weight is close to 13 catties.

It is now hidden in the vault of the Bank of San Francisco in the United States. It is the largest natural seawater pearl ever discovered in the world. It is named "Pearl of Allah" and "Pearl of Laozi".

As for why it is called the Pearl of Lao Tzu, you only need to see the picture to know.Because it looks like our sage, Lao Tzu.

In addition to these, giant clams also play a very important role in marine life, so my country also lists most of the giant clams as second-class protected animals for protection, and the largest giant clam is even listed as a first-class protected animal.

Liu Jun was not familiar with giant clams. When he saw such a huge shell, he thought it was some kind of precious seafood, so he swam towards it without thinking too much, wanting to take it away.

Seeing this, Liu Hao pulled him back, and then gestured to indicate that this thing could not be taken.Liu Jun didn't get entangled after seeing the gesture, he just gave up his thoughts and continued to search for the sunken ship.

More than 40 minutes later, Liu Hao and Liu Jun returned to the fishing boat, and Song Jianjun and the three of them had just returned.

After the two rested for a while, their physical strength recovered a little, and Liu Jun asked curiously.

"What was that just now? Why didn't you let me bring it back?"

Hearing Liu Jun's question, the others looked at Liu Hao very curiously, wanting to know what was going on.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Hao briefly explained what happened under the sea just now.

"Brother Hao, tell me why you can't take it away, isn't that a huge abalone?" Luo Hao asked anxiously.

"No, if it's abalone, will I prevent Liu Jun from taking it away? Such a big abalone will be snatched away."

"Actually, that big shell is called saffron clam, which is a subdivision of giant clam..."

"Uh..." Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Liu Hao couldn't continue.After a short pause, he explained again. "Well, to put it simply, this big shell called Saffron Tridacna is a second-class protected animal in the country, commonly known as the prison-bottomed animal, so we can't take it away."

"Oh, wouldn't it be good to say it like this. It's easy to understand that one sentence can't be caught to protect animals." Luo Hao joked with a smile.

The others also nodded in agreement. Seeing everyone's reactions, Liu Hao could only nod helplessly.

With a group of people who don't want to learn knowledge, he can only express his helplessness.

After recovering their physical strength, everyone dived down to the bottom of the sea again to find the expected shipwreck.

But until the evening, the search of all the people returned in vain.

Except for Liu Hao who found a few pearls, the others found nothing.

During dinner, everyone was not very energetic. One reason is that the diving time today is a bit long, and the diving depth is also large, so the energy consumption is a bit high.

The other biggest reason is naturally that they have nothing to do with today.

Although they know that finding the sunken ship is not an easy task, they also know that the sunken ship is very difficult to find.But even if today's result is expected, they are still in a very bad mood, even a little depressed.

"What are you all doing? Are you all sad for today's harvest?" Liu Hao looked at everyone's gloomy looks, and gently put down the bowl and said indifferently.

"..."

"As for what? Today we are looking for sunken ships at the bottom of the sea. Do you think it's as simple as going down to pick up a rock? It's normal to not get anything. There is no need to feel sad about it."

"If you listen to Brother Jiang..."

"Stop!" Li Zhenjiang suddenly yelled loudly, and then said very seriously, "Song Jianjun, is this your first time to go to sea? I don't know who to listen to after going to sea?"

"I was wrong, Brother Jiang. Brother Hao, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to blame you for what I said just now." Song Jianjun's face changed suddenly, and he quickly explained.

"Okay...Lao Jiang, why are you scaring him? I don't even care, what are you in a hurry for?" Liu Hao pressed his hand towards Li Zhenjiang.

"Is it okay if I don't say it? It's not the first time for him to go to sea, so why don't he understand the rules?"

"Okay. I said it's okay. There are not so many rules on my fishing boat. As long as everyone is united, it will be fine."

"Forget it, boss, if you say so, forget it."

"What a big deal. Brother Jiang, you like to make a fuss out of molehills. Let the two experts see the joke now?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Hao looked at Zheng Yu and Zhang Yu and said, "I made you laugh."

Only then did the people on Liu Hao's side realize that there were still two people here who were not from their fishing boats.Li Zhenjiang blushed even more, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Xiaohao, look at what you said... why did you make us laugh. This shows that you are a good ship boss to the crew." Zheng Yu replied with a smile.

"Hey, what you said made me a little flustered."

"Hahaha…"

Liu Hao, Zheng Yu, and Zhang Yu suddenly burst out laughing.

When the others saw their boss like this, they were suddenly enlightened.

Liu Hao really didn't care about the fact that he returned empty-handed today.
