master of the deep

Chapter 5 Tridacna
The reason why Lin Fan knew about giant clams was that there was a brother named Wang Biao in his university dormitory, and his uncle was a jeweler.

Once Wang Biao brought a finger-sized Guanyin statue to them and told them that it was made of scraps of giant clams, and that it was worth tens of thousands of dollars. It was a birthday present from his uncle.

At first, the brothers didn't believe it, but after checking it online, everyone was shocked. A giant clam ornament weighing five or six catties would cost millions.

Moreover, clam, pearl, coral, and amber are known as the four organic gemstones in the West, and gold, silver, glass, agate, coral, and pearl are also revered as one of the seven treasures in Buddhism.

Tridacna?Oh, there seems to be such a thing in the database. Immediately scan the surrounding sea area to see if there are any shells that have fallen from old and dead giant clams. "Lin An'er immediately used the intelligent brain of the aircraft, and within a minute the result was obtained.

"Captain, giant clams are found [-] kilometers to the south, let's go there immediately."

The speed of the No. 5 aircraft far exceeds that of all vehicles on the earth. It takes almost half a day for the Black Pearl to reach the distance of [-] kilometers, but the No. [-] aircraft arrives in just [-] minutes.

Lin Fan put on his diving suit and left the aircraft. As expected, he found huge giant clam shells on the seabed outside. There were some living giant clam shells beside them, and some golden pearls were inside some giant clam shells.

"Wow, the golden pearls should be very valuable, so move them away together. You move all these giant clam shells and the pearls inside to the aircraft, be careful not to touch them, they are very valuable."

Except for An'an who was staying on the aircraft, Yiyi and her nine subordinates also followed, but she and those subordinates did not have any diving equipment, and they moved freely like fish in the tens of meters deep seabed.

There are a total of eight giant clam shells, the largest of which weighs about 20 kilograms, and the smallest weighs about seven or eight kilograms, about the size of a dish for vegetables.From these giant clam shells, a total of twelve golden pearls were collected, each with a diameter of more than 10mm, and three with a diameter of more than 20mm, which are extremely beautiful.

"Okay, send me to the fishing boat, or my companions will worry after a long time. Your aircrafts should go around the seabed around the fishing boat, and put away any good treasures first." Lin Fan chose the smallest There is a giant clam shell, and three golden pearls, one of which is the largest and the two are the smallest.

"Captain, are you leaving us now? You must know that there is a nutrient tank prepared for you on the No. [-] aircraft. There is a small amount of strengthening liquid in it, which can help you strengthen your physical and mental strength. It is entirely possible for your The captain’s authority will be increased by another [-]%. Why don’t you go back, and go back after the enhancement is complete.” Lin An’er saw that Lin Fan was leaving in a hurry, and quickly persuaded him.

"How long does it take to strengthen?" When Lin Fan heard that there was actually a strengthening liquid that could strengthen his physical and mental strength, he couldn't help but ask immediately. He was looking forward to the captain's authority being raised again, so that he could start from More help aboard the Alias.

"About three days."

"That's not okay, think about it, I disappeared on the bottom of the sea for three days, and then I suddenly returned to the fishing boat, what would those companions think? Forget it this time, and then strengthen it after returning to land, as long as the fishing boat is almost full. Now, we can go back to land." Lin Fan refused and strengthened immediately.

When Lin Fan returned to the sea below the fishing boat, there were only a few unreaped crew members still active on the bottom of the sea, and the others had already returned to the surface. After all, more than half an hour had passed.

On the fishing boat, seven or eight crew members sat on the deck, throwing their wet diving suits beside them. While panting, they took out the treasures they found and showed off to others. Some were colorful shells, some were beautiful conch shells, and some were beautiful. Sea fish, and some strange stones.

"Wow—"

At this moment, there was a sound of water on the sea, and someone emerged from the sea, and then climbed onto the fishing boat with the help of everyone.After taking off the mask, everyone found that it was Lin Fan, and he was exhaling.

"Lin Fan, did you find the treasure?" Li Hu asked loudly when he saw Lin Fan taking off his diving suit.

"Yes, you see we all found the treasure, let's show yours too." Cai Xingming held up the two colorful shells in his hand, very excited.

"Don't worry, our fishing boats have rules. Whoever finds the treasure will get it. Even if the treasure you find is worth hundreds of thousands, no one will be jealous, because this is your chance." Zhang Zhide, the first mate, was beside him. While smoking a cigarette, he smiled at Lin Fan, and everyone around him also smiled and nodded.

"Oh, I only found this thing, and I don't know if it's worth it? Take a look, does anyone know it? Help me find out if it's a treasure."

After Lin Fan took off his diving suit, his whole body became lighter. He also sat down on the deck, took out something from his pocket and put it in front of everyone.

When everyone took a closer look, it was a huge shell, the size of a vegetable plate. The two shells were half open, and the inside was empty. It was obviously a dead giant shell.

However, the surface of this shell has beautiful patterns, and the surface of the shell looks a little crystal clear, as if it can be seen through from the surface, like a gemstone, and there is nothing special about it.

"Isn't this just a dead shell? What kind of treasure could it be?" Wang Tiezhu shook his head disdainfully.

"I've never seen such a shell, who knows what kind it is?" Hao Gang asked everyone suspiciously, and everyone shook their heads, obviously no one knew it.

"Whether it's valuable or not, it's still very beautiful. Don't be discouraged, Fanzai. This is the treasure you found while diving into the sea for the first time. You can bring it back as a decoration, as a souvenir." Cai Xingming was beside him Comforting Lin Fan.

"Hey, I thought the same way. I picked it up when I saw it was beautiful, regardless of whether it was worth it or not." Lin Fan smiled, rubbed his head in embarrassment, and didn't take a second look at the giant clam, as if the giant clam It's like a souvenir.

However, Lin Fan's heart has long been filled with joy. It is best that no one knows it. When he finds out that it can manage millions of dollars in the future, the shock will probably not be small.

Although everyone talked about the rules on the fishing boat, Lin Fan still didn't say anything about the giant clams. After all, millions of things were involved, and Lin Fan couldn't guarantee whether someone would have other ideas.

When returning to the room, Lin Fan casually put the giant clam on the ground beside the bed, and it has been left there untouched since then, piled up with the colorful shells and beautiful conch he picked up from diving in the sea later, and he didn’t care about it at all. As a baby means.

Lin Fan felt a little strange that although he left the No. [-] aircraft, as long as the No. [-] aircraft was within a hundred kilometers around him, he could directly get in touch with Lin An'er in the No. [-] aircraft. Remotely command the No. [-] aircraft.

On the second day, the catch of the Black Pearl reached [-] catties, and everyone had another chance to dive into the sea. Lin Fan came to the No. [-] aircraft again, and found that Lin Yier and the others had harvested a lot of sky-high prices around them. baby.

Such as several precious conchs, including two pairs of nautilus and three anchovy snails, two red corals, one of which is more than 20 centimeters high and the other more than 40 centimeters high, one of the four or five pieces of agate is the best water gall agate, and more than 20 black pearls.

However, Lin Fan didn't bring these things onto the fishing boat, he didn't want to attract the attention of everyone, so every time he dived into the sea, he just picked up some beautiful shells and conch shells, and caught some ornamental sea fish back.

I don't know if it was luck, but three days later, the catch of the Black Pearl reached more than 9000 catties, which was close to the full cabin of 5 catties.

Moreover, a lot of high-value sea fish were caught, such as the wholesale price of 6000-[-] catfish of [-] catties, the [-]-[-] catfish of more than [-] catties, and the wholesale price of nearly [-] catties of pike. About ten, other ordinary hairtail, octopus, squid and other economic fish are about [-] catties, and the gross income of this boat is more than one million.

I originally planned to stay at sea for 20 days, but I didn't expect that the cabin would be full in half of the time, which also counted the return time. This time I went to sea for just over nine days, and I returned with a full load.
