Chapter 458: Seawater Pearl King (Part 2)

Yu Jinshan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to suddenly ask him about this.

After so many years of fishing, I have never specifically caught clams. However, sometimes I have visited the fishing nets, but clams live in shallow seas, and are generally very rare in deep seas, and clams also like to be in places with higher water temperatures.

Although Yujinshan has never used clams, he knows a little about the price of pearls.

"Pearls? Generally, it depends on whether they are wild or artificially cultivated. Because artificial cultivation is targeted and some artificial means are used, the artificially cultivated pearls are very round, and the particle size is average, with almost no difference. After carefully selected, the artificially cultivated pearls have slightly larger particles and pearls with very good color and texture. A string of necklaces will be more than 20,000 yuan. Of course, the poor textures are dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, and the prices vary. The best and best products are hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the best and largest pearls are relatively rare wild seawater pearls. Wild seawater pearls with a diameter of more than 1.5 cm. If the texture and color are good, one piece can be used for millions of yuan!"

Yu Jinshan said so much, stopped, and then said: "Of course, there are few wild sea pearls nowadays, and the pearl musses that are usually salvaged are not big, which is not worth much. But relatively speaking, the pearls of wild clams are more valuable than artificially cultivated pearls. You should all know that pearls have extremely high medicinal value and beauty effects. This is the best effect of long-term wild age, so the longer the wild pearls are, the more precious they are!"

Artificially cultivated pearls usually only last for three years. Because some nurturing hormones are added, the medicinal value of artificial pearls is much lower. Generally speaking, pearls with a diameter of two to three millimeters need to be maintained for three years, about five millimeters need to be six or seven years, more than eight or nine millimeters need to be more than ten years, and larger years need to be longer.

Zhou Xuan didn't understand these, and he couldn't tell the difference between the value of wild and artificial cultivation. But after Uncle Yu Er said that wild pearls are relatively large, as long as they have good quality, one can be worth millions of yuan. I thought I didn't know how much the pearls in the big clams in the underwater ditch were worth, but the pearls detected by the supernatural powers were larger in size than the pearls in the store he had seen.

Zhou Xuan felt moved and thought that this net on the boat had just caught more than 40,000 kilograms of fish, so it would be inconvenient to go to the deep sea. However, the fuel for navigation was enough, so it would be better to stop here and dive down to catch the clams by yourself. No matter whether it is worth it or not, there is time, and there will be no loss. All I need is to cover up the ears of these people on the boat. However, these people are easy to fool, so it is fine to find an appropriate excuse.

"Uncle Yu Er, I used to find some wild large clams with pearls in such a sea area, but I don't know if they are worth it. But I think we have time anyway, and we have caught so many fish in a net, and then to the deep sea farther away, so it's better to salvage them here to see if there are clams and pearls!"

Yu Jinshan was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head to stop it, saying, "This may be difficult to implement, because the terrain of this area is complex and not flat terrain like the plains. The mussels live at the bottom of the sea. If they cannot reach the bottom, they cannot bring up clams and other creatures. Moreover, the clams usually live in shallow seas. Here, in such a deep area, it is unlikely that there will be clams!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle Second, I saw that there seemed to be diving equipment in the storage room? I'll dive in and take a look, I have time now!"

Everyone on the boat was shocked!

Although they are fishermen and are not unfamiliar with going into the water, there is an essential difference between fishermen and diving fishermen. They have ordinary diving equipment such as diving suits on their boats, which is just to deal with emergencies. Diving fishermen are professional divers. Their equipment and diving actions are designed. The water temperature is relatively low now, so it is not suitable for diving. Moreover, the water depth in this area exceeds one hundred meters. A person's pressure layer in deep water cannot withstand such a large amount of air pressure, so everyone opposes it.

Zhou Xuan spread his hands and said, "Uncle Second, don't worry, you all have to worry. I have always been a diving enthusiast. I often do winter swimming at home. Now the weather is already spring, and then it's summer, and the sun is about to rise. The temperature is actually not low. I feel itchy when I see the sea without diving. Let me dive for a while!"

Fugui looked at the sea water by the boat. The undulating waves swung the boat together. He frowned and said, "Brother, I think it's still..."

"Don't worry!" Before he could finish his words, Zhou Xuan had interrupted him, turned around and took out a set of diving equipment in the storage room, took off his clothes, put on a diving suit, put on an air pump, and then put on an eye mask.

However, the diving equipment on the ship is ordinary, and the depth suitable for diving cannot exceed forty or fifty meters, and there is no underwater communicator.

Seeing that everyone was worried, Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I used to dive often. This little thing is also, Fugui, go find a small net, tie it with a rope, and I will take it into the sea. If there is anything, I will put it in the net and then connect it."

Zhou Xuan had already decided, so Fugui stopped persuading him, so he found a small net three or four meters wide in the cabin. There was also a small winch machine on the boat, untied the rope above and tied it firmly to the small net.

Zhou Xuan threw the small net into the sea first, then smiled and said, "I'm going down!"

After saying that, he stood up and jumped straight into the sea without any flower posture. Everyone on the boat came here to watch the place where he entered the water. Several people even thought that Hu Yun was a little stupid. He had so many fish, so if he had the ability, he would dive into the sea? What other shells were going to catch?

Of course, they couldn't tell them what happened to Zhou Xuan, and the people detected by their supernatural powers could not understand.

After reaching the sea, the water temperature was indeed a little low, about 14 or 5 degrees, but after diving below twenty meters, the water temperature was a little higher.

Although the ocean is large, for Zhou Xuan, it is far less terrifying than in the Yin River below the earth. In the deep river below the earth, if you don’t have a good time, you will never get out. No matter how you swim in the ocean, you will never encounter that situation. The ferocious creatures in the sea are not so terrible. They are all within a known range. Zhou Xuan’s superpowers can handle it.

The water temperature and depth of about 100 meters are not a problem for Zhou Xuan. Even if he dives with bare hands, there is no problem at all.

Zhou Xuan used his superpowers to spread throughout his body and detected the situation of forty or fifty meters around his body. When there was danger, he would know that the current light was good. It was the golden time from around eight o'clock to nine o'clock. He dived to a place below forty meters in the sea. The light was pretty good, and he could see it with his naked eyes without superpowers.

Zhou Xuan dragged the small net tied with a rope in one hand, and while diving, he could not feel the pressure at all. He easily dived to seventy or eighty meters. His supernatural powers detected that some places had reached the bottom, and some narrow ditches were still deep, but Zhou Xuan would not go around the detour and swam directly into the deep ditch with clams.

The fish swim out of this deep ditch. When Zhou Xuan entered the deep ditch, the light suddenly dimmed. The deep ditch was narrow and deep. The width of the place he had just entered was only three or four meters, and the depth was seven or eight meters. The deeper the more he went in, the deeper he became. With the supernatural ability, the narrow ditch extended far away, and the length was far beyond the range he could detect. The deep bottom started at a distance of 40 or 50 meters, and the bottom could not be detected. I think this narrow ditch should have exceeded the depth of 200 meters.

It seems that the place where this trench leads to must be south. Because the trench is narrow, deep and the water flow above is not easy to move, so the water temperature is higher than the temperature on the trench. Some sea creatures that are afraid of cold dive into the trench. This is their safe haven. Although the trench is very deep, it is only a few meters wide, which makes some huge marine killers unable to use it here, so other marine creatures prefer it, the temperature is enough and safe enough.

After all, you cannot measure deeper places on the boat. Only after you get here in person can you feel some situations more vividly.

As soon as he entered the trench, Zhou Xuan could not observe with his naked eyes and could only use his supernatural powers to detect the light, almost isolated from the light.

Where the trench that is nearly 100 meters long enters, the inclined slope extends downward. There are hundreds of clams in the ditch of nearly 100 meters, and the texture of the clam shells is very obvious.

This is a bit like the annual rings of a tree. Zhou Xuan estimated that this was the age of the clam. A circle of traces was about the years. He transported his supernatural powers to the extreme. While protecting the range of forty or fifty meters around his body, he detected the size of pearls in the clam. The small ones did not move it, and the larger ones picked up and put them in the net.

When I picked up the big clams in my hand, Zhou Xuan could feel the heavy ones in his hand, probably no less than four or five kilograms. I have never seen such a big clam. In this ditch, there are at least one hundred such large clams, and the rest should be slightly smaller. Calculated from the pattern, this clam is probably for thirty or forty years, and those smaller ones are in the range of more than ten years, but the pearls in their bodies are obviously much smaller.

There are almost dozens of pearls in these larger clams, but the largest one is only a few, and the largest one is only one with a diameter of more than one centimeter.

Because if the net is pulled into the trench, it may not be dragged out if it is loaded heavily. When the winch machine on the boat is twisted, if the net is hung on the rock, it may be pulled and broken when it is twisted. Therefore, Zhou Xuan could only put the net on the trench and move two of it at once, so he shuttled back and forth from the trench to the bottom of the sea above the trench.
