My Deep-sea Fishery

There are too many snail shells under this sea.

The crew surfaced in a short while, for no other reason, the net bag was full.

The crew members climbed up to the deck with their harvest, all of them looked happy, obviously the harvest was not cheap.

"I caught dozens of snail shells, all of which are well-preserved wrinkled red snails and chicken heart snails." Fang Youqun said proudly.

The cone snail is a highly poisonous sea snail, and the poison of one cone snail is enough to kill ten adults.

At the same time, the cone snail is also a beautiful snail that lives on coastal coral reefs and beaches, and it is expensive.

The cone snails under this sea area have a thin front shell and a thick rear end, shaped like a chicken's heart. The body surface has different colors and patterns, which are colorful and highly ornamental. Although it is highly toxic, the venom contains several Hundreds of different ingredients, but because of his good-looking appearance, there are still countless shell lovers who have a soft spot for it.

Chen Qingsheng asked someone to bring over several large boxes, "Separate the conch snails from the wrinkled red snails, and put them into these boxes according to their size."

"By the way, remember to check when you put it away. Make sure that there is not a single live snail in all the snails. Live snails are not a joke." Chen Qingsheng said with a serious face.

The crew put the conch shells they picked up into boxes by category, and at the same time ensured that each conch shell was a shell, not a living body.

"Brother Qing, which box should I put this snail in?" Xia Pengjie took out a fist-sized, distinctive snail shell and handed it to Chen Qingsheng.

"Hey, what kind of conch is this? Where did you pick it up?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

Xia Pengjie smiled and said, "This is called the Black Star Conch. Where did I find it? Of course it's at the bottom of the sea."

Chen Qingsheng saw that the surface of the black heart snail was covered with black spots, resembling the stripes of a jaguar, and the color was dazzling, making people feel an urge to love it.

"Treasure snails? Last time the captain picked up a few snails, and the price was more expensive than gold. This black-hearted snail in your hand?" Chen Qingsheng tentatively asked.

"Wanbao snail is one of the four famous snails. How can the black heart snail be compared with Wanbao snail? The black heart snail in my hand is very well preserved and has a good luster. It can be used as an ornament or as a decoration. It can be sold in the market If you buy it, it will be about two or three thousand yuan."

Chen Qingsheng's eyes lit up when he heard that it would cost two to three thousand yuan to buy it, and he quickly took the black-hearted precious snail, "Everyone, take a look at this, and remember what this snail looks like. If you encounter it later, you must pick it up."

A conch with a price of two to three thousand yuan can be bought at least a thousand yuan even if it is wholesaled to a shell carving factory. This price is worthy of Chen Qingsheng's special mention to the big guys.

"Good job." Chen Qingsheng slapped Xia Pengjie on the shoulder, grinning and said, "The captain will come up later, I will give you credit."

"Hey, by the way, where's the captain?" Chen Qingsheng looked around and asked.

People around you look at me and I look at you, and they all shake their heads together, expressing that they don't know.

"It's strange, so many people, why didn't they see Brother Yang? Where did Brother Yang go?" Fang Youqun asked in confusion.

Sometimes Xiang Yang would break away from the group and act alone, and the crew had already seen it.

However, in the past, even if Xiang Yang acted alone, he usually would not arrive on deck later than them. This time Xiang Yang disappeared for a long time.

But everyone didn't suspect anything, Chen Qingsheng said: "There are a lot of shells in this sea area, the captain must have found some valuable shells again, and he is collecting and looking for them."

"Let's not wait for him. Hurry up and sort the snail shells we have collected. The third type of snail shells like the black heart snails will be put in this box first. We will classify these when the captain comes back."

A group of people acted immediately.

A few minutes later, another person surfaced.

It was Xiang Yang and Professor Chen Yu who came up from the bottom of the sea together.

Chen Qingsheng hurried up to greet him, "Captain, are you coming up?"

"Yeah." Xiang Yang nodded, "How is it? How's the harvest?"

Chen Qingsheng grinned, "The harvest is all here. If it is converted into catches, it will definitely be regarded as a bumper harvest."

As he said that, Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang's waist, "Hey, Captain, haven't you gone fishing for shells?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Xiang Yang's waist.

Seeing the flat net bag that Xiang Yang pinned to his waist, everyone showed incredulous expressions on their faces.

In everyone's minds, Xiang Yang has always been a master of diving and fishing. Every time he goes down, he gets more rewards than others. This time, everyone's harvest is full, but Xiang Yang came up empty-handed?

"It shouldn't be, Brother Yang, there are so many conch shells under the sea, if you just pick up a few, you won't be empty-handed. You've been with Professor Chen all this time?" Fang Youqun asked.

"We met on the way up." Professor Chen Yu said with a smile.

Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, "I found a strange conch."

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously, and even Professor Chen Yu looked sideways.

A strange conch means a conch that Xiang Yang doesn't even know.

Xiang Yang's knowledge reserve is well known, even Xiang Yang doesn't know what kind of conch it is.

Professor Chen Yu became interested, he stretched out his hand and said, "Take it out and show it to me."

"I didn't bring it up." Xiang Yang shook his head and said.

"Alive?" Professor Chen Yu asked.

Xiang Yang found a strange conch but didn't bring it up. In Professor Chen Yu's view, the only possibility is that the conch is alive. Xiang Yang is not sure whether the conch is protecting animals, and there are scientific researchers on board. Yes, so Xiang Yang didn't dare to take the risk of catching the conch.

"No, it's dead." Xiang Yang said.

"Why don't you bring the dead one up? It's stuck in the crevice of the rock and can't be taken out?" Professor Chen Yu asked.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, and then said: "That conch is too big, I can't lift it up by myself."

"Too big?"

"Can't one person bring it up?"

Everyone stared blankly at Xiang Yang.

Conch!

Everyone present, who doesn't often deal with conch?

What kind of conch is so big that there is only one shell left, and a grown man can say that it is too big for one person to handle?

Professor Chen Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice was no longer so calm. He hurriedly said, "Xiang Yang, tell me, what does that conch look like and how big is it?"

It seems that Professor Chen Yu has already guessed the Nautilus, Xiang Yang secretly thought.

On his face, Xiang Yang said calmly: "A long, spiral conch, at least five or six meters long by visual inspection, about a little bigger than a bucket, pure white, with a very shiny surface."
