Chapter 26 The Ugly Fish
After several people returned to the fishing boat, everyone asked questions one after another. They only said that Lin Fan seemed to have gone down, but they couldn't go down at all. After reaching the limit, the pressure on their bodies would increase several times for every meter they went down, and their breathing would become difficult. It was greatly affected, and it was impossible to force a dive at all.

Only Chen Chaoguo sat beside him and didn't speak. He was panting heavily, because he forced himself to dive two or three meters down just now, and felt as if his bones were about to break, and he almost suffocated, so he had no choice but to come up.

It's just that no one noticed that Chen Chaoguo lowered his head at this time, his eyes were a little blood-red and even more gloomy, and he was roaring in his heart: "Why can't I? Why did he get all the good things? I'm not reconciled, why are these things? Not mine? Everything should be mine, right?"

Lin Fan slowly dived to a depth of more than 100 meters. Before his eyes, there was a huge object stranded on the bottom of the sea. It seemed to be broken in the middle. Half of the hull was sunk in the mud. Numerous conchs, shells and the like are adsorbed around, and there are many fish and shrimps swimming among them, making this place a playground.

"Captain, here we come."

At this moment, the surrounding seawater surged. Six aircraft arrived around Lin Fan, revealing their figures. Dozens of people came out of the aircraft like swimming fish and came to Lin Fan. The one at the front was Lin Fan. Yier and Lin Lianger.

Today, Lin Fan already has two escort teams and three armed engineering teams, adding up to eight aircraft. Except for the two aircraft left above to guard and protect the fishing boat, the others followed to the side of the sunken ship.

"Let everyone go in and search. If there are well-preserved things, be careful to bring them out." After Lin Fan ordered, he led his men into the sunken ship.

As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Lin Fan discovered that the deck under his feet was all made of steel. Although it had been soaked in water for an unknown period of time, it was still not damaged. Moreover, there were several copper cannons scattered on the deck. Some of the gun barrels have only half left, and there are still some shells around.

"It seems that this is not a merchant ship, but a warship. I just don't know when it was built? Is it from China or from another country?" Lin Fan judged in his heart.

"Captain, there are texts here, which should be French texts in this world." Immediately, some soldiers discovered the texts on the hull, and Lin Fan went over to see that they were indeed in French, thus affirming that this was a French ship. warship.

All the soldiers brought by Yiyi and Liangliang had detectors, so they quickly searched the entire warship in less than half an hour, and only found a few small things and some gold and silver objects.

Lin Fan asked Yiyi to take those little things and gold and silver back to the aircraft. He thought for a while and picked up a few rusty guns and brought them up so that he could give everyone an explanation. As for what those things were, wait for Yiyi and the others. You should be able to find out through the Internet after you go back.

"Wow—"

Lin Fan came out of the sea, and everyone hurriedly pulled him up, and found that there was something in his pocket.Wang Biao immediately poured the things out, and when everyone saw it, they immediately poured a basin of cold water on their hearts. It turned out that they were two rusty old-fashioned rifles and an empty shell case with writing on it.

"Fourth, is that a warship down there?" Wang Biao asked.

"That's right, Bai has been busy for a long time. Below is a French warship. Do you think the words on the shell casings are in French?" Lin Fan asked while panting.

"It should be in French. It seems that this French warship was either during the Opium War or during the period when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. It may have been sunk before approaching China. Naturally, there will be nothing on it." Zhou Xiaolin nodded and said.

"Captain, just now we detected a school of toadfish on the seabed ten miles to the east. Do you want to take a detour there and cast two nets?" At this time, Zhang Zhide came over and asked. Try to have a big harvest.

"There is a school of anglerfish, of course we can't let it go, this is a valuable fish." Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately asked the control room to detect whether the school of anglerfish was still around and whether they could catch up.

"Chasing after him, get off the net." After receiving an affirmative reply from the control room, Lin Fanli cheered up and ordered, and the Golden Pearl immediately sailed towards the east.

Anglerfish, commonly known as stutter fish, frogfish, sea frogfish, anglerfish, etc., generally live in tropical and subtropical shallow waters.It is a cosmopolitan fish distributed in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. It has a large head and a soft, scaleless body when viewed from above. The back is brown, like a frying pan with a handle.

"I haven't seen anglerfish yet, but I heard they are called anglerfish, isn't it?" Cai Xingming asked beside, because anglerfish is a rare fish rarely encountered by offshore fishing boats.

"That's right, speaking of it, it has something to do with the reproduction of anglerfish." Zhou Xiaolin saw that many people didn't know much about anglerfish, so he introduced them to them: "Male anglerfish grow in the depths of the dark sea. Slow, much smaller than the female fish, once it meets a female fish, it will bite through the abdominal tissue of the female fish, drill into its skin, and attach itself to death for a lifetime, and the nutrition of the male fish is also provided by the female fish. Hence the name anglerfish It comes from the fact that the male anglerfish parasitizes the female anglerfish."

"Hey, this kind of fish is quite interesting. We must see what they look like later." Cai Xingming laughed.

It didn't take long for the Golden Pearl to come to the sea area where the anglerfish inhabits. The sea water here is relatively shallow, with a depth of only 300 meters.The seabed is relatively flat, there are no coral reefs, only a layer of white gravel, and even seaweed is rare.

And anglerfish like to live in such an environment. Of course, they still have some companions living in this sea area, but they are shells, conchs and the like, and there may be some pearls.

The Golden Pearl slowed down and lowered a special trawl net.This trawl net is made of a special material that is very strong and is just right for dealing with sharp-toothed fish such as anglerfish.At the same time, this kind of trawling net can be placed directly on the bottom of the sea, and along the gravel on the bottom of the sea, anglerfish, shells and conch around it can be picked up.

After the fishing net was lowered, the Golden Pearl was dragged slowly along the front, and suddenly the sea boiled a little, and the anglerfish began to scurry around, but most of them could not escape the trawl.

Half an hour later, the fishing net was pulled up to the surface of the sea, and everyone finally saw the legendary frogfish. It looked really ugly, so that some people said they would not eat this kind of fish.

The front half of the body of the anglerfish is flat and disc-shaped, and the tail is cylindrical. The general body length is 40-60 cm and the weight is 300-800 grams. .

"No wonder people call them frogfish. It looks too ugly. I don't believe anyone would want to eat them after seeing their appearance." Wang Biao looked at the anglerfish and shook his head repeatedly.

"Hey, Biaozi, don't look at the ugly appearance of anglerfish, but its taste is really delicious. It is a very popular fish in many countries and regions, and the price is not cheap.

Angler fish is rich in vitamins A and C.Rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, the nutritional value is still relatively high.Regular consumption of anglerfish liver can help protect eyesight and prevent liver diseases.

Anglerfish are also used as food fish in places such as Fujian on the southeast coast.The common anglerfish is an important food fish in Europe. People in RB love to eat angler fish hot pot, especially in winter.

In RB Kanto, anglerfish is regarded as the best in the world, and it is known as "there is puffer fish in the west and anglerfish in the east".The meat of anglerfish is as tight as a lobster, firm but not loose, the fibers are full of elasticity, the taste is better than that of ordinary fish, and it is very rich in collagen. "Zhou Xiaolin explained to everyone.

"Really, have you ever eaten?" Wang Biao was still a little skeptical.

"I haven't eaten it, I just heard about it. In fact, the fishing volume of anglerfish is very small all over the world, and it is even rare in Dongzhou City. It is not bad to catch three to five thousand catties every year. "Zhou Xiaolin shook his head and said.

"Since you haven't eaten it, why are you persuading me? Anyway, I won't eat this kind of fish in the future. If you like to eat it, you can eat it yourself. It looks a little disgusting." Wang Biao said firmly.

"To be honest, I can't eat it just looking at it, but if I don't know it's it, I might still eat it." Lin Fan laughed beside him.

Just like some people don't eat snake meat, it's not that they don't like it, but they can't eat it when they think of snakes.But if you don't tell him it's snake meat, he might eat more than anyone else.

However, in addition to anglerfish, there are also many huge conch and shells in this net, which makes everyone have a lot of troubles.Because the anglerfish have to be cleaned out for refrigeration, and the shells and conch have to be thrown into the sea.
