Real scene red envelope big draw

After the death of the mammoth, after thousands of years of burial, it was left behind.

It is similar to the ivory of today's elephants, but even bigger.

Even more heavy.

Also more precious.

This is the first time Zhou Rui has seen such a big tooth, which is several times bigger than an elephant's ivory.

Not a heavyweight at all!

Chapter 697 Life Red Envelope Arowana——Blood Red Dragon

Mammoths are an extinct genus of elephants, the mammoths.existed during the Ice Age.

Because all mammoths are found dead and half buried in the soil.

Mammoths lived about 1 years ago. They originated in Africa. They were distributed in Europe, Asia, and northern North America during the Pleistocene. They can adapt to grasslands, forests, tundra and snow fields. A few species, such as true mammoths, have It has long hair and a thick layer of fat to keep out the cold. It feeds on grass and beans in summer and shrubs and bark in winter. It lives in groups.

The last mammoths became extinct around 1670 BC.

And the mammoth ivory in Zhou Rui's hand is the prehistoric monster - mammoth ivory.

Mammoths and prehistoric mammoths are not in the same class.

This prehistoric mammoth is comparable to a big dinosaur.

Combat is very powerful.

······

As we all know, ivory is precious.

So many people take the risk and smuggle ivory.

Even if it breaks the law.

Ivory is valuable.

And it's not that expensive.

In the black market, there is a price but no market.

And mammoth teeth are even more precious and rare than ivory.

Also because of its rarity, it has become something collected by many nobles.

······

Mammoth ivory is the front tooth of a mammoth, commonly known as ancient ivory, also known as ten thousand year ivory.The original size of mammoth ivory is larger than that of modern ivory. Most of them have been calcified or petrified over time. Only a small part of mammoth ivory preserved in ice in the permafrost of the Arctic Circle can be used for carving.

Of the mammoth tusks that have been found, only about 15% can be used for carving, while other parts that have been calcified or petrified cannot be used for carving.

Mammoth ivory has a refractive index of about 1.54 and a density of about 1.70 g/cm[-].

Due to limited resources, as people continue to mine and excavate, mammoth ivory will become less and less, and the collection value will become higher and higher.

Compared with modern ivory, mammoth ivory is generally not well recognized.

There are historical reasons for this. Since ancient times, ivory products have been widely recognized, especially by princes and nobles as treasures to ward off evil and avoid disasters, which has increased their value.

When ivory is widely used in craft collections and luxury goods, the public is familiar with and recognizes it.

Mammoth ivory has only been used in ivory carving and artistic creation for decades.According to Mr. Chen Naichang, a master of ivory carving and painting at the Kyoto Ivory Factory, he had seen mammoth ivory carvings as early as five or sixty years ago, but these were only rare in the field of ivory carving.

From the perspective of resource scarcity, mammoth ivory is more valuable because it is non-renewable, and it is denser and harder. The price of high-quality mammoth ivory materials is already much higher than the price of modern ivory.

Therefore, the collection prospect is broad and the appreciation space is huge.

Because of the similar hardness and density, there is no obvious difference in the carving process between mammoth ivory and ivory.However, the skin of mammoth ivory is dyed with iron-copper phosphate to form blue, green, red, yellow and other different colors of tooth skin. Therefore, some mammoth ivory handicrafts on the market will retain the "tooth skin" to express its simple and heavy style.

This engraving method of retaining the ivory skin is also called an innovation of ivory craftsmanship by ivory craftsmen.

Collectors can choose to keep or not keep the "skin" mammoth ivory carvings according to their preferences.

······

Zhou Rui had never seen such mammoth ivory.

gigantic.

A mammoth tusk was even taller and bigger than him.

Unlike the unearthed mammoth ivory.

The mammoth ivory in his hand seemed to have just been cut from a mammoth.

There is no sign of any unearthed.

If you use this carving, you can definitely carve a handed down work.

become a national treasure.

······

Among the ordinary red envelopes, these few things surprised him a little.

other things.

It has been unable to affect his state of mind.

Things that money can buy.

Zhou Rui wouldn't be too shocked.

Next, Zhou Rui opened the life red envelope.

Although there are not as many life red envelopes as ordinary red envelopes, there are still many.

In the first life red envelope, Zhou Rui got two lovely Samoyeds.

Very beautiful and cute.

The second life red envelope is a pair of cranes.

In addition, there are larks, magpies, orioles and other birds.

There are also Erha, Garfield and other pets.

There are also koi, carp, lobster, crab and more.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, there were a few more—blood-red dragons.

Because it is very difficult to cultivate and breed blood red dragons, the demand for blood red dragons is relatively strong in the market.

Therefore, the price of this kind of ornamental fish has always been high. The average price of a blood-red dragon with a pure body color is about 2000 yuan even if it is just a seedling.

The price of a blood-red dragon that grows to [-] centimeters is usually over ten thousand.If it is a blood-red dragon with bright red body and pure color, how much it is worth depends on how the seller asks for the price, and you absolutely don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.More local tyrants are willing to grab.

After all, Huaxia has no shortage of rich people.

As a type of arowana, the blood red dragon is also a very ancient ray-finned fish.The earliest dragon fish began to appear on the earth as early as the Carboniferous period more than 3 million years ago.

The blood red dragon appeared in the waters of Asia roughly 4000 million years ago.

According to the biological classification, the blood red dragon belongs to the Osteoglossidae family, with a domineering and spiritual appearance, somewhat like a cannonball.

In addition to fish and shrimp, wild blood red dragons even hunt and kill amphibians such as frogs.

However, limited by reproductive capacity, water pollution and other factors, the number of wild red dragon fish is very rare.

As early as the 80s of the last century, the blood red dragon was listed as a key protected animal under the Washington Convention, and all forms of trading and hunting were strictly prohibited.

And the breeding mode of the blood red dragon is also very strange. The female blood red dragon is responsible for laying eggs, and the male is responsible for hatching. When hatching, the male fish will hold the eggs in his mouth and use the temperature in the mouth to help the eggs hatch.

Compared with wild blood red dragons, artificially bred blood red dragons are more pure and beautiful in color, but in terms of wildness and survivability, they are far from comparable.Wild blood red dragons are fierce and aggressive, while artificially bred blood red dragons are much more docile.However, for viewers, they don't mind the blood-red dragon's good or bad temper, and many people also regard the blood-red dragon as a symbol of wealth, and keep it at home in the hope of attracting wealth and wealth.

In Zhou Rui's hands, there are a total of 24 blood red dragons.

Twelve of them are female and twelve are male.

And it's all wild.

This is something that money can't buy.

The blood red dragons on the market are all artificially bred.

There is no way to compare with wild ones.

This is a key animal protection.

But for this point, Zhou Rui was not worried. The natural environment in the Myriad Realms Pearl was so much better than the environment on the current planet.

The air is clear and the water quality is superior.

Give the blood red dragon a place without natural enemies, so it won't multiply quickly!

Chapter 698

Zhou Rui threw the blood-red dragon into the Myriad Realms Bead, allowing it to reproduce freely.

This thing is very precious.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, there were also a few special turtles.

The whole body is cyan.

There is a pattern of auspicious clouds on the back.

It looks like auspicious clouds, but it is actually a simple pattern.

Ups and downs.

Like auspicious clouds.

Very cute.

Not very big, but very spiritual.

According to Xiaoyou's introduction, this tortoise is called Qingyun tortoise, which is an extinct tortoise.

It is a great tonic.

According to the rumors, this Qingyun turtle was exclusively used by the emperor hundreds of years ago. He came here with Emperor Taizong on his back, and ordered people to look for the turtle. Unexpectedly, he actually found it.

After the imperial doctor got the tortoise, he made a medicated diet for Emperor Taizong. Don't tell me, Emperor Taizong will be healed soon, so the Qingyun tortoise was shaped into a fetish.

Of course, this is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, and there are many fictional elements.

However, the emperors and queens of all dynasties must have this tortoise when they celebrate their birthdays, so this tortoise is also called the longevity tortoise.

Especially the tortoise blood of the Qingyun tortoise has the effect of prolonging life.

In ancient times, it was the favorite magical tonic for dignitaries.

Can't even buy it.

······

Zhou Rui had indeed never seen the Qingyun turtle, which is a freshwater turtle that grows in the inland of China.

Later, because of the wanton capture, it was sold for money.

This led to the extinction of this Qingyun turtle.

Disappeared in the long river of history.

Compared with the Qingyun turtle, in another red envelope, Zhou Rui got the extinct white haired crab.

This kind of white hair crab is said to have become extinct during the Anti-Japanese War.

Because the environmental damage is too serious.

There is no place for them to live.

Why is it called white-haired crab, because this crab has white tentacles all over its body, like white hair, which is very good for pregnant women.

This white hair crab is also a nutritious delicacy.

In ancient times, the villagers in the area where the white hair crab lived would basically eat it if anyone had a pregnant woman.

One is to supplement nutrition, and the other is because the white-haired crab can make children smart.

There is also a local legend about the white hair crab.
