Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 66 Tridacna
"When will we go into the water?" Fang Yuan asked.

Another reason for following them this time was because they knew that Zhang Yaohua and Shui Wang both brought diving equipment.

"Let's take a look ahead! We have to find a sea area with clear water and not much depth." Zhang Yaowei told him.

Fang Yuan nodded, understanding.

The water is not clear and the visibility is not high, so there is no point in going down.If the water is too deep, whether the light can shine is one thing, and whether they can dive is another.

You know, even with diving equipment, the limit of human diving is only more than 300 meters.

The record of diving with bare hands without any equipment is more than 100 meters.

Notice!Those are the data of professional divers.

Amateurs like them, equipped with oxygen rebreathers, etc., can be considered good at diving more than 100 meters.

After a while, Zhang Yaohua said: "This is it!"

Zhang Yaowei stopped the fishing boat after hearing his elder brother's words.

Shui Wang, who was following behind, came closer and turned off the fishing boat.

"There are only four diving suits, who will get down?" Zhang Yaowei asked.

Originally there were two sets, but later two more sets were added.

Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan immediately raised their hands: "I'll go down."

How could you miss this opportunity?

They also went scuba diving when traveling, and they did so under the guidance of professional diving instructors.But that's actually not interesting. There's no freedom. You have to play according to the areas they have designated.

"Plus me, Shui Wang, you and Ah Hui choose someone." Zhang Yaohua said.

Shui Wang: "I'll go!"

His eldest brother is not used to diving in the sea yet. Although he has been practicing these days, he does not dare to dive too deep. He will find it difficult to breathe if it exceeds 50 meters.

Shui Wang understood that his elder brother's reaction was a psychological problem.

After discussing it, Zhang Yaohua and the others put on their equipment and Shui Wang took the lead in entering the water.

Not long after he got down, Zhang Yaohua saw Fang Yuan playing with a small octopus. He was startled and waved his hand to signal him not to play.

Although it may look like a small octopus, it is extremely dangerous.

Zhu Weiguang also recognized it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.That's a blue-ringed octopus. Hurry up and ask your friend to release the little octopus. Don't be rude.

The blue-ringed octopus is only about the size of a golf ball and its body is yellowish brown, making it easy to hide in the surrounding environment.They are named after the bright blue rings on their bodies. When in danger, the dark rings on their bodies and paws will emit a dazzling blue light, sending a warning signal to each other.

In the ocean, the blue-ringed octopus is one of the most venomous creatures. A bite from this small octopus can kill a person.But this kind of octopus will not actively attack humans unless they are seriously threatened.

Fang Yuan didn't dare to play anymore, he let go and let the blue-ringed octopus swim away.

Coming to the bottom of the sea, the colorful underwater world made Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan's eyes shine, and their hands kept harassing the sea fish around them.

Some coral fish are not afraid of people at all, and even come close to them out of curiosity.

Fang Yuan quickly took pictures with his mobile phone, which he put into a waterproof bag in advance.

Zhang Yaohua and Shui Wang ignored them, knowing that these two guys came down just for fun.

The two started looking for valuables.

Zhang Yaohua has already had a goal and is neither slow nor hasty.

Suddenly, a giant object appeared in everyone's sight. Fang Yuan and Zhu Weiguang froze immediately, not daring to move.

If you read correctly, that is a shark, right?Zhang Yaohua saw that it was a lemon shark.This kind of shark is very curious and sometimes attacks divers for no reason, so he doesn't dare to move.

The lemon shark swam towards Zhang Yaohua and nudged him with its nose.

Seeing that Zhang Yaohua had no reaction, probably feeling bored, Lemon Shark turned to the others.Others followed suit, but did not play with the shark. Soon the lemon shark lost interest and swam away alone.

The four of them watched the Lemon Shark go away and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, both Fang Yuan and Zhu Weiguang said it was exciting, it was the first time they had such close contact with such a big shark.Fang Yuan even secretly filmed it with his mobile phone just now, and the shark even slapped its head in front of the camera.

It's worth it. It's worth the trip.

If Zhang Yaohua knew what they were thinking, he would probably want to vomit blood.

Oh shit!You are so big-hearted that you dare to take secret photos and so on.

Zhang Yaohua went straight to his goal.

He came to a coral stone and turned over a shell as big as a basin.

That's right!This is a clam.

Tridacna clams are the largest shellfish in the world, reaching over a meter in diameter.

The name "Tridacna" began in the Han Dynasty. Because there are radial grooves on the surface of the shell, which look like ancient ruts, it is called "car ditch".Later generations added stone characters next to the canal because it was as hard as stone.

Their appearance is not beautiful, but when the shells are opened in the sea, the colors inside are bright. Their mantles are extremely colorful, not only in bright colors such as peacock blue, pink, emerald green, brown red, but also often with various patterns.

Therefore, Tridacna is a rare organic gemstone, as white as jade, and is also a sacred object of Buddhism.

In China, it is revered as the Seven Treasures of Buddhism along with gold, silver, colored glaze, agate, coral and pearls.Tridacna, pearls, coral, and amber are also known as the four major organic gemstones in the West.

Zhang Yaohua learned that there are many kinds of clams, some of which are protected animals.

If it were a living body, Zhang Yaohua would naturally not dare to mess around.

Yesterday, he specifically called Mr. Tang from the antique shop to consult. Tridacna shells, especially clam shell fossils, could be collected and traded in their province.

Currently, only Hainan has express regulations prohibiting transactions.

The clam in front of Zhang Yaohua almost belongs to the ranks of fossils.

The so-called clam fossils are clam shells that died naturally. After an unimaginable silence, they underwent complex chemical changes under the long-term effects of high salinity and low temperature in the deep sea. In a sense, the shells experienced rebirth. .

This is actually similar to the snail jade that Zhang Yaohua encountered before.

There was another piece next to it, which was also turned over by Zhang Yaohua.

Soon, Shui Wang noticed the situation here and swam over.

When he saw two clams, his eyes widened and he made gestures.

It's so big that it would be difficult for one person to move it up.So, the two tried to work together to move the clam and slowly floated up, leaving Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan to continue playing on the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, this clam has a certain degree of buoyancy, otherwise the two of them might not be able to carry it up.

Ah Hui and Zhang Yaowei on the fishing boat were shocked when they saw the two people standing up and what they were carrying, and hurried to help.

Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo and the others don’t know each other, don’t Tridacna still know him?
"It has to be Brother Hua, there is still a piece of the seabed." Shui Wang said.

Ah Hui felt itchy after hearing this, which made him want to go down and explore the treasure.

Zhang Yaohua and Shui Wang sank to the bottom of the sea again without taking any rest. They had to get another piece of clam up first before they could rest assured.

When they reached the bottom of the sea, they saw Zhu Weiguang riding on a big fish in an indescribable posture.
