Chapter 454 Big Pearl Oyster
When Chen Zhengqian washed the item he had just dug up with sea water, he finally revealed its true appearance.

It seemed to be a kind of seashell, but it was a bit big. This was the first time Chen Zhengqian had seen such a big seashell.

"Clamshell?" Chen Zhengqian was stunned.

Snail mussel is a common name. In my hometown, all shellfish similar to pearl mussels can be called snail mussels.

However, the general snail refers to the river mussel.This is obviously a seashell, but I don't know what kind it is.

There are countless species of shellfish in the sea. In the South my country Sea alone, there are more than 250 kinds of seashells in different shapes.

Moreover, many seashells have become scarce due to salvage and collection, and are gradually listed as marine protected animals.

Having said that, the baby that Xiaobao is talking about, shouldn't it be this thing?

Chen Zhengqian looked at the treasure hunting mouse, it also looked over, and nodded quickly.

It seems so.

After looking over and over again, I can't find anything special. There is still a lot of mud on the shells, which may not be beautiful, but it belongs to the category of no ornamental value anyway.

Shellfish are mainly divided into edible and ornamental. Edible shellfish mainly include horseshoe snails and snails, etc., which are widely distributed, easy to catch, high in yield, and delicious in meat quality. They are economical seashells.

In addition, ornamental sea shells include nautilus, spider snail, tiger snail, etc., most of which are "local products" of the Nansha Islands.

If it is really a treasure, then the biggest possibility is what is hidden inside.

For example, pearls.

Chen Zhengqian reckoned that the one he held in his hand should be a giant pearl oyster, and only the big pearl oyster can have such a large body.

Ordinary large pearl oysters are 25 centimeters and weigh 3-4 kilograms, and the larger ones are more than 30 centimeters and weigh 10 kilograms.

As for the one in Chen Zhengqian's hand, even if it doesn't weigh 10 kilograms, it probably still weighs 8 kilograms. It is a well-deserved giant pearl shell.

There are so many large mother-of-pearl oysters, it is estimated that they have lived for many years, and the possibility of giving birth to pearls is very high.

Generally speaking, seashells rarely breed pearls, because unlike artificially cultivated pearl oysters, dozens of beads can be artificially put into them.But it's not impossible, everything is possible, especially for this kind of big pearl oyster that has lived for more than ten or twenty years.

It is not ruled out that during the process of opening the shell, one or two grains of sand will fall in, and then slowly grow into pearls.

If there are really pearls in this sea shell, then it makes sense.Pearls meet the treasure hunter's criteria for judging treasures.Moreover, the value of sea pearls is much higher than that of ordinary cultured ones.

Sea pearls are the most expensive pearls, and among the sea pearls, those produced by the mother-of-pearl are the most valuable.Not only is it the largest, but the color and quality of the pearls are among the best among the many pearl oysters, and the color is bright and charming.

Shall I cut it open and have a look?
Chen Zhengqian thought about it and decided to cut it open.

Although the large pearl oyster is listed as a national second-class marine protected animal because of its small number, since it has fallen into his own hands, it doesn't matter how many protected animals he is.

I'm a little excited, it's my first time to live broadcast pearl retrieval.He raised the Longquan Sword and cut directly into the closed opening in the middle of the shell, cutting open the large mother-of-pearl shell.Then he broke it hard and broke the large mother-of-pearl shell into two halves.

Sure enough, there were pearls in it.

Chen Zhengqian counted them and found that there were actually nine of them, and each one was as big as a thumb, round and shiny, and it was surprising to see them.

For ordinary sea shells, it is good enough to conceive two or three in the body, but this big pearl oyster actually has nine, which is simply a huge harvest.

Chen Zhengqian was so happy that even though the price of pearls has dropped now, the price of such top-quality pearls is still high.Thinking about the few pearls that were given to Zhou Xinxin for auction, they all fetched quite high prices.

This time I won't sell it, just put it at home as a collection.

Seeing that there are still so many shellfish, it is a pity to throw them away. It is good to take them home to cook and eat them. The meat quality of the big pearl oyster is still good.

In short, this wave of gains is not small, and Chen Zhengqian is quite satisfied with himself.

Since the treasure hunter said that this is the most valuable thing nearby, it means that there are really no other valuable shipwrecks around here, so let's go a little further.

It's a pity that the big tortoise is not by his side, and the speed of walking alone can't be much faster.

Chen Zhengqian felt a little regretful, and wanted to catch another large fish to turn it into a mount, but he was unlucky. After walking for so long, he didn't find any large fish.

Not far ahead, we will enter the range of Lingdingyang.

That's right, this Lingdingyang is the Lingdingyang in Wen Tianxiang's poems.

Lingdingyang is also called Lingdingyang. The Pearl River Estuary is the area of ​​Lingdingyang, which is divided into inner Lingdingyang and outer Lingdingyang. To the south is the South China Sea.

Historically, it was the springboard for the British to smuggle opium to China, and then transported a large amount of silver from here.

But those are all history, as the lyrics say, "The sufferings of the past, we keep in our hearts... There are still dreams in the future, let's develop together...".

This country is in a period of rapid development. Although there are many places that are not satisfactory, but because of those seniors who are willing to work hard, as well as our younger generation who are ready to take over, and the younger generation who are growing up, this country It will always get better and better.

In Lingdingyang, there is also the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which has just been completed and is ready to be officially opened to traffic at the end of the year.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is known as the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. After completion, it will connect the three major cities of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau, greatly shortening the travel distance for people.

The bridge has a total length of 49.968 kilometers, including a 6.75-kilometer subsea tunnel. It starts from Lantau Island in the Xiangjiang River, passes through Tai O and Inner Lingdingyang, and finally divides into a Y shape, connecting Zhuhai and Macau respectively.

Planning began in 83, construction began in 09, and the line was officially completed in September 16. It will be officially opened to traffic by the end of 9.It is said that the entire construction cost exceeded 17 billion.

Cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and start to enter the area of ​​Wailingdingyang.

There are many small islands and hidden reefs in this area. As part of the ancient Chinese Maritime Silk Road, merchant ships often sailed here and then ran aground and sank.In addition, Guangdong Province was also an open city for trade with foreign businessmen during the thirteen lines of the Qing Dynasty. Lingdingyang was an important sea area, so Chen Zhengqian planned to try his luck here.

According to information from the National Ocean Salvage Administration, at least more than 2000 ancient shipwrecks have been discovered along the coast of Nanyue and even in the South China Sea, but many of them can only be left on the seabed because the technology is not enough to salvage them.

The previously sensational "Nanhai No. 1" was salvaged from the waters near Yangjiang in southern Guangdong.It also took 20 years from discovery to salvage.

Only Chen Zhengqian can easily explore and excavate the sunken ship under the seabed. For other people, even if they use the power of the country, they may not be able to do it.

There are more than 2000 shipwrecks, even if only one such as "Nanhai No. [-]" is found, Chen Zhengqian reckons that he will have nothing to worry about in his life.

Well, that's all he can do.

The target is the hidden reef area of ​​Lingdingyang, go forward!
