Lu Ao and the others just boarded the boat.

The boat is still near the pier, and they don't have to work for the time being.

After eating the noodles, he went back to the cabin to catch up on sleep.

The weather is also very good today.

The sea is calm, sleeping in the cabin is no different from on land.

Lu Ao slept until 11:30 and got up to have lunch.

When he arrived, the restaurant was full.

When Lu Ao walked in, he saw a lot of foreigners with tall eyebrows and deep eyes. They were talking together, speaking U Mandarin, and speaking very fast.

Lu Ao passed the sixth level of U Mandarin in college, and he could barely understand that they were discussing a kind of fish at this time, but he didn't recognize what kind of fish it was.

There are actually quite a lot of classifications of fish, and there are various subspecies, all of which have their own exclusive names.

These words are all rare words, if you don't have relevant academic background, it is difficult to come into contact with them at ordinary times.

From this point of view, these people should indeed be scientific research personnel.

Lu Ao looked at people, and many people also looked at him. He is tall and has long legs, has a very good manner, and his face is especially outstanding. When most people see him, they are easy to think of models and so on, and they often look at him a few more times.

He was used to other people's eyes, and he didn't care, he still looked at the people of U country.

People from Country R and Country U both noticed his gaze, especially those from Country U. After meeting his gaze, they were amazed for a moment, and they all smiled at him.

Lu Ao glanced at it briefly, nodded, and calmly went to get the dinner plate to cook.

When Lu Ao signed the contract, the scientific research ship included meals, which were all buffets, all-you-can-eat.

He was not polite, and directly bought a large plate of vegetables and meat, which seemed to be at least six or seven catties, and took it back to his place to eat.

He was halfway through his meal when a tall man with beards came over from the U country. He walked to the chair opposite him and sat down, blinking his eyes, "Hi, hello."

"Hello." Lu Ao looked up at him, a little perfunctory.

"My name is Kim Lee, nice to meet you."

"Lu Ao." Lu Ao didn't care whether the other party understood or not, and continued to eat after reporting his name.

Jin said: "I know you, you are the lucky boy Wu said."

"Well, maybe."

Jin didn't care about his cold treatment at all, his blue eyes were full of interest, "How long have you been fishing in this sea area, have you seen any special fish?"

"What do you mean by special fish?"

"It's very rare. For example, if you catch a certain fish, you don't know it at all, and the people in the market don't know it, so you can't sell it at all. Is there such a situation?"

Lu Ao swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "Generally speaking, we only catch non-protected fish that can be sold for money. Even if we see other fish, we won't touch them."

"Even if it's expensive, don't touch it?"

Lu Ao stared at him for a while and asked, "What do you mean by very expensive fish?"

The golden eyes met his gaze, and took out his mobile phone to show him the picture, "Have you seen this kind of fish?"

"Let me see."

Lu Ao carefully looked at the picture on the phone.

It was a rather strange fish, a stone-like taupe with white spots and a protruding mouth.

Its fish body is slender, with smooth lines, but its tail is round and blunt, with a bulge in the middle. The whole fish tail looks like a flat cake.

In addition, its fins look particularly obvious, like branches and forks growing from trees, and they look much longer than the fins of ordinary fish.

This kind of fish is actually quite easy to distinguish, if people already know it.

Lu Ao knew that it was called a lancetail fish, and it was a rare fish with total fins.

This kind of fish lived in this world hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is said that the genes in the body have not changed for [-] million years.

The reason why the speartail fish looks strange is that its fins produced muscles and bones, and began to evolve into limbs.

This is also one of the reasons why scientists are interested in him. Since its appearance, the theory of evolution has been strongly supported, and people can clearly see the transition process from fish to quadruped vertebrates.

It was once thought to be extinct until the fisherman accidentally caught it in the last century, and it reappeared in people's sights.

The importance of such a fish to marine biological research is self-evident, and many scientists would like to capture this fish for research.

However, catching this fish is actually against the law. The IUCN ranks this fish as critically endangered. No matter which country it is in, it is one of the highest levels of protected animals.

If they dared to help these foreigners catch lancetails, they might end up in jail.

Lu Ao returned the phone to Jin calmly, and had no intention of helping them catch it.

Even if it is legal, he will not arrest him.

Chinese scientists are not yet able to conduct research on this type of fish, let alone foreigners.

Jin Man held the phone he returned expectantly, "Do you know this fish?"

"I don't know, are we going to catch this kind of fish?"

"Yes, if you can catch it. They all say you are a lucky boy, if you can catch it, we will give you a reward of 1 yuan each." Jin smiled and blinked, and said: "Single reward, no need The tax deductible kind."

Lu Ao doubted, "Are you sure there is this kind of fish here?"

"Sure, someone caught one some time ago. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to find it in the water."

"Is there a lot of this kind of fish here?"

"Who knows?" Jin shrugged, "You have to see it to find out."

They were talking, and another woman from country U came to inquire.

The two of them used Lu Ao's words overtly and secretly.

Lu Ao told them some irrelevant things.

Soon, Lu Ao was invited to their table.

Lu Ao is not a talkative person, he didn't say much after he passed by, he just ate and listened in silence.

This group of people didn't know that he was good at learning the U language, and they didn't take much precaution against him. Although they didn't say anything important, it could be inferred from certain details that they had official backgrounds in U and R countries.

It took a long time for the boat to sail, and at around four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their first destination.

Angkor and Xiang Xingchang, the captain of the diving team, came over to get them ready to go into the water.

The scientific expedition personnel and the boatmen collected materials such as seawater and sea mud.

Lu Ao took another look and put on his equipment silently.

Angkor came over to carry the gas cylinder for him, and clamped the camera on his buoyancy adjustment vest, saying: "When you go down, follow Xiang Xingchang and the others, pay attention to safety, pay attention to the position of the camera, and try to shoot as much underwater content as possible. "

Lu Ao nodded.

Angkor gave him a sampling bag again, "You watch the sampling underwater, and if you pick something valuable, the scientific expedition team will give you a bonus."

"Ah."

Xiang Xingchang also came over after putting on his equipment, and carefully checked his equipment, especially the gas cylinder.

After confirming that there is no problem, Xiang Xingchang asked: "How long have you been diving? Have you ever dived in such a deep sea?"

"Dive, I just dived once a few days ago."

Xiang Xingchang's expression softened a little, "Okay, do you remember the underwater precautions?"

Lu Ao memorized the precautions.

Xiang Xingchang nodded, and said: "We will fasten the safety rope later, you should be alert and pay attention to what you should pay attention to. If something is wrong, you must come up in time. Life is the most important thing."

Lu Ao agreed seriously.

Xiang Xingchang may be prejudiced, but he is very serious in his work.

He checked the equipment of each team member, confirmed the precautions with each team member, and then took everyone into the water.

Lu Ao cooperated with them for the first time, and Xiang Xingchang put him in the middle.

The sea was really too big, even if five or six of them went down together, they would just drift away like a sesame seed.

Fortunately, we are not too far away.

Everyone gestured to each other to confirm that there was no problem, and continued to dive slowly.

This sea area is more than 200 meters deep, and they may need to dive to the bottom of the sea.

When diving, you can't go too fast, you have to go down slowly to let your body adapt.

When you are going to float up, you have to go up slowly, otherwise diver's disease is prone to occur.

In fact, the light under the sea surface is not very good. Although the sun can theoretically reach the depth of 200 meters below the sea surface, in fact, the visibility is relatively poor when tens of meters go down.

Lu Ao turned on the flashlight and continued to dive.

Xiang Xingchang and the others are nearby.

After diving to about 100 meters, Xiang Xingchang, who was in the front left, suddenly went upstream.

Lu Ao looked up, but saw a team member making an emergency gesture.

Lu Ao hurried over.

Upon arrival, it was discovered that the team member's buoyancy-adjusting vest could not be inflated, and he was descending uncontrollably and rapidly.

Xiang Xingchang checked him neatly, and soon found that his inflation valve had a mechanical failure.

Encountering this kind of failure in deep sea diving means that they should go back, otherwise this failure may lead to the loss of a life.

Xiang Xingchang gestured for the team member to adjust the weight, and inflated his buoyancy-adjusting vest with his mouth.

Lu Ao helped stabilize him.

The nearby team members are tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away, and there are only three of them here.

Xiang Xingchang was busy for a while, and decided to escort the team member up first, while Lu Ao decided to continue diving.

The two communicated with gestures for a while, and divided into two teams, one team went up, the other team went down, and only Lu Ao went down.

This sea area is rich in fishery resources, and Lu Ao saw many big fish.

Usually when fishing, he would catch up with the fish when he saw them, but today he tried to avoid them as much as possible.

He dived all the way, keeping an eye on his depth and equipment.

It stands to reason that he is a dragon and doesn't need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing.

However, it was too quiet under the sea, and he could hear his heart beating. Even though he knew that the possibility of him being in danger was very low, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

Continue to dive, the instrument shows that he is already 170 meters underwater.

The bottom is very dark, and there are dozens of meters from the bottom of the sea.

Lu Ao looked at the scale on the gas cylinder, the gas should be enough for him to use for another hour or so.

This strength is enough to ensure that he returns safely.

Lu Ao relaxed a little, and gradually enjoyed the feeling of being alone in the deep sea.

He deftly swam down, his heart felt a little hot, and he wanted to change back into a dragon shape, but his rationality restrained this urge.

20 meters, ten meters, five meters... We're about to reach the bottom of the sea.

Lu Ao narrowed his eyes and continued to swim downstream.

He has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Suddenly, a fish rushed towards Lu Ao like a cannonball. He was startled and subconsciously dodged aside.

The fish jumped to the side in fright, and disappeared in an instant.

Lu Ao stabilized his body, looked closely, and felt that the fish's round tail was very familiar.

I don't know what kind of shit luck he had, but he found the mission target on his first dive.

Lu Ao froze in place, feeling complicated.

After a while, he raised his hand to touch the camera fixed on the buoyancy adjustment vest, twisted his fingers, and squeezed the two cameras one by one.

Since it wasn't Huaxia's scientific expedition team, he couldn't leak out the fact that he found the Speartail.

At most, he helped them pack two more bags of sand.

The sand has to be installed elsewhere, lest they analyze the traces.
