175. Ocean Ranch (allgae alliance +5)

Start the thruster downwards, and as the water gushed, he rushed to the bottom of the sea at a rapid speed.

Such a speed is unimaginable for ordinary people. The sea water pressure is huge, and diving and rising too fast will cause diving diseases.

When he reached the bottom of the sea, Ao Muyang reached out and touched it in the mud.

The tentacles are warm, just like yesterday. The temperature of the sea mud here is much higher than that of the water. He guessed that there are hot springs or geothermal cracks on the bottom of the sea.

When he landed at the bottom of the sea, he took the rake he was carrying and danced a few times, and then smiled bitterly: "It's so delicious, I've become a second senior brother!"

Using the rake, he began to swell the sea mud. As the sea water became muddy, he pulled out a shell the size of a palm.

The two shells of this shell are not the same size, both large and small. There are stone scales on the shell. They are rough and look unpretentious.

But as the saying goes, the gold and jade are among them. This non-stunning shellfish produces one of the most beautiful jewelry in the world, white pearls!

Yes, this is the pearl shell. There are multiple varieties of pearl shells, and Ao Muyang cannot be sure which variety this is.

In addition, as far as he knows, pearl shells like to live on the mud and sand bottom in shallow sea areas where the sea water is clear, the water flows are not fast, and mixed with gravel.

The water depth required by their normal life generally does not exceed fifteen meters, but what about now? The sea water depth in their location exceeds one hundred and fifty meters!

However, Ao Muyang guessed that the reason why they could survive here was not that the pearl shells had mutated and changed their living habits, but that they lived here in the mud of sea.

The reason why pearl shells live in shallow water is because they are warm and warm surviving species, and the temperature in the living environment is less than thirteen degrees.

The temperature of the seabed mud is about twenty degrees, which is exactly what they like to live.

Ao Muyang searched in the sea mud with a rake for a while, but the harvest was not big, and there were not many pearl shells here.

I think so, even if the temperature in this place is right, it does not belong to the optimal living environment for pearl shells. In addition, there are predators such as devouring eels, so their groups cannot expand.

Ao Muyang put the pearl shells he found in the sea mud and buried them. He wanted to know how many shells there were in this sea area, so he thought about it and released a little gold.

Gold drips into the water and then turns into thousands of ultra-small droplets. They slowly spread with the undersea currents, covering a large area of ​​the seabed.

Slowly, the quiet sea mud moved, and some shells emerged from it, and then floated gently. The shells opened and they caught gold drops in the water.

Everything is as Ao Muyang expected, like the fish and shrimp, will be tempted by gold drops.

In addition to pearl shells, some fish that were tempted by the golden drops also devoured the eels.

The devouring eels were very happy, with both golden drops and shells. Today we can have a full meal!

Soon they became unhappy. Ao Muyang took the net to catch the fish, and caught the fish that had escaped yesterday...

If the swallowing eel has emotions, he will definitely say: knock it inside! Am I knocking inside! Are you fishing and enforcing the law?!

Unlike Ao Muyang's guess, there are not many pearl shells here, and there are thousands or tens of thousands of them appearing, but they are widely distributed on the seabed, so it is impossible to collect them on a large scale with a rake.

The pearl shells floated out one after another, and this scene surprised him, just like a space warship appeared in the starry sky, big and small, rotating and floating...

What surprised him the most was that the largest pearl shell that appeared was as big as a washbasin, which exceeded his knowledge. The size of the pearl shell he knew was only as large as the cross-section of the football!

They floated in the sea for a while, and then returned to the sea mud one after another.

Ao Muyang swallowed, swam and grabbed a pearl shell slightly larger than his palm. He wanted to verify his guess and see if the pearls were produced.

When he floated to the water, he got on the sea fishing boat and first put the swallowing eel into the ice cabin to store it, and then he began to open the pearl shell.

He clenched with his hands for a while, and the two scallop shells did not move at all, which made him laugh: "The little thing is tightly clamped, I don't believe it, so I can't fix it!"

He couldn't open it with his hands, so he put on pliers and awls, and pulled it with chisels and pulls it, and finally opened the pearl shell.

The wild sea pearl shells are strong and the shells are very thick. Just tap them with pliers, just like granite!

The shells that opened are milky white shell meat, with some pearls distributed inside, some round, some flat, and some slightly angular. This shell is densely packed with pearls!

I think so, pearls are essentially impurities that enter the shell. The shellfish secrete pearls to wrap them up and form pearls.

The pearl shells here live in the sea mud, and the probability of entering sand and gravel impurities in the body is higher and the number is higher.

Sitting at the bow of the boat, Ao Muyang's eyes shone: He discovered an excellent place to survive in pearl shells, and the value it contains may be in units of tens of millions of yuan.

The trench yellow croaker, the red reef crabs and the treasure fish, and the pearl peasant tribe, looked at the vast ocean and saw not a desolate sea area, but a vibrant marine ranch!

He returned home in high spirits. He just got ashore and received a text message, which was sent by Lu Hu. Lu Hu helped him find a jeweler to sell pearls.

Ao Muyang called and said that the jeweler's name was Zhu Zinai, which was very interesting, which was "pig Zimi". When he saw this name, he smiled maliciously for a while.

You can smile in private, but when you get on the phone, he has to be serious: "Hello, Boss Zhu, my name is Ao Muyang. Mr. Lu Hu introduced you as a jeweler, right?"

Zhu Zinai smiled and said, "Xiao Ao, hello, Brother Hu told me about you. See when you have time to come to Hongyang. I will check your pearls and then give a price."

Without saying this, Ao Muyang went to Hongyang the next day and purchased some daily necessities.

There were 265 pearls in his hand, which was originally only about 220, but another batch of pearl shells he caught yesterday contributed.

Among these pearls, more than half are of the best quality, with a total of 150. The remaining ones are irregular in shape and have good colors.

Zhu Zinai runs a jewelry store. He found two pearl masters to study it, and then graded it according to the quality specifications, which are generally abcd levels.

The pearl grading is very strict. It must be identified one by one from the diameter, shape, gloss, finish, and bead layer thickness, and then a comprehensive score is drawn.

Among them, a1 is the most valuable pearl. Ao Muyang only has two pieces in his hand that meet this classification standard, and one piece can be sold for 20,000 yuan.

Then there are the grades such as a2, b1, b2, etc., and the value decreases in turn.

In the end, the 150 pearls with excellent quality were worth 250,000 yuan, and on average, one pearl was more than 1,000 yuan.

The remaining pearls with poor quality were sold for 10,000 yuan together. These pearls were either used as special pearls or ground into powder to make cosmetics, and their value was very low.
