Most of the rice cooked by Duoling was Vietnamese, sour and sweet.
In addition, the materials on the ship were limited and the monotonous diet day after day made it as painful for me to eat as if I were taking medicine.
I ate a few bites in a hurry and then showed the map to everyone.
Describing the topography of the seabed, the "coral spiral" should actually be an oval ring of islands, with reefs all around the outside. , this is what Sea Wolf calls the outer spiral.
The internal terrain of the outer spiral is complex.
The terrain gets higher and higher towards the middle.
The highest point in the middle should be the "ghost island" exposed on the sea after the tide level decreases.
This area is very likely to It is an island mountain range that was submerged as the continental shelf sank.
There are several bottomless troughs on the seabed leading to the outer sea.
There is an area between the outer spiral and the ghost island.
The terrain is sunken and shaped like a basin.
The seabed is covered with coral iron trees, forming a rolling undersea forest.
Some of the large coral trees in it are tens of meters high and tower over the sky.
Although it is under the sea, it still looks It is spectacular.
Among them, a large translucent tree like a tortoise shell is the most conspicuous.
The place should be very close to the eye of the sea.
It is the essence of the sun, moon and sea air condensed over thousands of years.
This old tree is Our main target for collecting eggs is that the water depth is about 70 or 80 meters.
In addition, there is a valley beside this tree, and it is difficult to judge its depth.
According to the memories of the surviving crew members of the sunken ship Mary Sennu, their ship was swept into an outer spiral that was usually insurmountable by the hurricane.
The sea bottom where it sank was as bright as day.
That is the best proof of the burning dragon fire under the sea.
I guess this These submarine rifts are probably where the Yin Fire of the Southern Dragon erupts.
If the depth exceeds 200 meters, even if we know that the Mary Sennu has sunk into the trough, we can only look at the ocean and sigh and there is nothing we can do.
Moreover, there are undercurrents surging in the trough.
Once it falls into the depths, God knows where the ship will be swept.
After I finished speaking, the ship boss Ruan Hei added.
Ruan Hei worked as a fisherman and an egg farmer.
One of the important ways to make a living on Coral Temple Island was to assist the salvage team in fishing for "green heads".
Moreover, the egg farmer himself can be regarded as a semi-professional diver. , based on his experience in collecting eggs and his understanding of catching "green heads", there are many bad fish in this underwater forest, and the danger of going into the water to collect eggs is very high.
But what I just saw clearly in the diving bell is that those old clams in the deep water are all pearls, and the essence of the moon shadow flashes.
The value is unprecedented in my life.
This kind of heaven-made thing is loved by the aura of the seabed.
I'm afraid It's only found in Coral Spiral.
Since ancient times, Dan people have suffered the most among the people in the South China Sea Islands.
If their experiences were summed up, a history of blood and tears of Dan people could be written that is thicker than Cihai.
Pearls have always been divided into "East Pearl" and "South Pearl".
The "East Pearl", which is located near the Ninggu Pagoda in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has an average weight of two or three coins.
Most of them are azure or white, and there are also a small amount of pink. , the largest Dongzhu recorded in history so far, was during the Kangxi period.
A local child was swimming in the river and accidentally picked up traces of a bead in a clam.
The bead was more than half an inch in diameter.
When it comes to the beauty and rarity of pearls, although the "Eastern Pearl" is also outstanding, it is still difficult to compare with the top-quality "Southern Pearl".
In the past, the "Southern Pearl" was a tribute to the emperor.
Eggmen are not allowed to collect eggs privately unless ordered to do so.
They are supervised by officers and soldiers when collecting eggs.

Even if the sea conditions are bad and it is difficult to go into the water, the eggmen are forced to go into the sea with stones tied to them.
If they lose the eggs or cannot collect the pearls after the time limit, they will be beheaded. punishment.
From ancient times to the present, countless egg farmers have died for this.
Occasionally, there are egg farmers who collect Henan pearls privately, but most of them are exploited by profiteers.
They risk their lives and only get 1,000% of the harvest.
Dan people all know that the largest "Southern Pearl" ever discovered was when Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty, was sailing to the West.
A sailor on a treasure ship fished out a large snail and put it in a pot for cooking.
As the flames surged, the water in the pot suddenly boiled, and with a loud bang, the half-boiled giant snail jumped into the air. , the cabin was filled with white gas, like smoke, and no one could be seen face to face.
The people who cooked the snails were panicked and fled out of the cabin one after another.
After a long time without any movement, they went back to check and saw that the giant snail had been dead for a long time.
There is a southern pearl as big as a longan, because it has been boiled in water and fire, and its essence has been lost and cannot be recovered.
There are freshwater springs gushing under the "Coral Spiral" sea.
The sea water is moderately salty, nurturing the essence of sea air and moonlight.
The southern pearls here are almost as big as long eyes.
When viewed underwater, the strange light and phantoms are rare in the world.
Matcher.
If this trip goes well, we can get at least 100 pills.
Ruan Hei lived a hard life after escaping from Vietnam.
Today, he unexpectedly got this opportunity.
He finally has hope of going to France.
He seemed a little excited and said that he would risk two lives.
No matter how big the risk is, it is worth it.
The skill of collecting eggs is not in vain.
Ruan Hei also talked about his speculation about the situation on the seabed.
Although there were undercurrents and whirlpools in the deep valley next to the undersea forest, they did not seem too strong, but for some reason, the aquatic animals in the sea did not dare to approach.
He was in the diving bell, I used a searchlight to shine inside, and there seemed to be a vague shadow of a huge ship, but I couldn't tell for sure that it was the "Marisennus".
There is also a "shipwreck graveyard" in a shallow sea near Coral Temple Island.
The location is in a trench.
Ships that sank nearby will fall into it if they are pulled by the ocean currents.
Over time, part of the trench is covered with sand and barnacles. cover , forming a hard shell, with only a few entrances to dive into.
Many salvage teams have tried their luck there.
Some people have really caught a lot of good things, while others have exhausted their efforts and financial resources for several years and found nothing in the end.
The unlucky guy.
It is possible that the topography of the coral spiral is similar.
The more obvious ones are the inner and outer atolls, but here the sea sand is deposited.
Under the ground on the seabed, there may be a slurry shell layer formed by the sand, and the sunken ship will fall into it if it falls. , forming rift valleys that resemble ocean troughs.
The grooves seen on the seabed are the traces left by sunken ships.
Although what the boat boss Ruan Hei said was speculation, we all felt that it made sense and immediately made a diving plan.
Diving operations are conducted in groups of at least two to take care of each other, but naturally everyone on the boat cannot go down at once.
I divided everyone into three teams A, B, and C.
Shiry Yang, Uncle Ming, and I were the "A team".
Ruan Hei took his apprentice Duo Ling to form the "B team", and Fatty and Guchai were the third team "C team".
Team A and Team B launched into the water at the same time.
Team A used only three sets of heavy-duty diving equipment to sneak into the vicinity of the valley mouth to detect whether there were sunken ships hidden in the depths of the trench.
Once the target was confirmed, they immediately launched operations to see if they could capture the "King of Qin's Bone Mirror" "The main thing is to catch it up in one fell swoop.

Teams B and C took turns to collect eggs under the coral trees.
Considering that the supplies we carried were limited, and the "moving mountains and reclamation techniques" also had certain limitations, taking advantage of the walrus weather permitting, completing it as early as possible would reduce the risk by one point.
When allocating people like this, I mainly consider that searching for sunken ships requires manpower.
Even if the strength of three people is still a bit weak, and Uncle Ming is relatively familiar with ship structures and things on the seabed, he should be able to start as a consultant and assistant.
The most important thing is Only by taking him with me can I safely dive into deep water.
Otherwise, who knows what evil things this old guy will do.
Shiry Yang is an elite member of the U.S.
Naval Academy and an expert in diving reconnaissance.
With the three of us in Team A, we dive into the trench in the coral forest.
Even if we encounter any accidents, it is not difficult to escape unscathed.
The boat boss, Ruan Hei, and Duo Ling are all professional egg collectors.
When they go to work in the coral forest, they can still do the same job as before, and they have a certain degree of confidence.
Separating Ruan Hei and the others and leaving Fatty, who is passionate about the egg-collecting business, with them can also prevent them from taking advantage of their wealth and abandoning Team A to escape in a boat.
However, Ruan Hei does not know how to use "Sitian Fish" and "Kui Xing Pan".
I just want to be prepared for any eventuality, because I know that a person who is afraid of poverty can easily be dazzled by money and do things that are fundamental to him.
It's something I don't want to do, but I can't say this to Shiry Yang Ming.
I just made the deployment quietly.
Everyone agreed readily, except for Uncle Ming, who looked troubled: "No fish dares to approach the trench deep in the coral spiral, because the deepest part is connected to the ocean, and some deep-sea monsters will use that place as their lair.
Let's If you go in, you will die.
If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a lot.
Come on, Hu Zai, listen to my uncle telling you that the most powerful thing on the bottom of the sea is not the giant octopus.
The shrimps and crabs in the deep sea are so big that even the whale salamanders are not allowed to do so, especially the giant crabs are the most powerful.
Even if they are as evil as a shark, I don’t dare to provoke them.
You have to go on your own.
I think it’s more appropriate for me to go collect eggs.”
I knew he was probably exaggerating, so I said to Uncle Ming: "If there really is such a big crab, how much would it cost per pound?
Besides, who are you, an old sea wolf who can't beat to death and can't afford to lose?
How dare you do that?"
Scratch gold on the Buddha's face, grab money from the oil pan You are a ruthless person, and you are afraid of crabs.
Also, when we go out to sea, we have agreed in advance that if we have money, we will share it, and if there is any difficulty, we will all block it.
But now you hide when you encounter danger.
In the future, I will share the money with you when I go back to Qingtou. , when the time comes, don’t pick on me.”
As soon as Uncle Ming heard about the idea of going back and sharing the money, he had no choice but to go through with it, and he had to go through the sea of fire.
If the big thing can be accomplished this time, he can make back all the losses in the past few years.
The success or failure is 50-50. , I have fought hard, who can let my black eyes not see silver?
Even though I was a man when I was running a boat, now I only bend my waist for five buckets of rice.
Everyone's plan was decided and they went all out to make preparations.
Several positioning buoys were placed on the sea to locate the largest old tree on the seabed.
Next, we had to use Taoist Banshan's "mountain-moving and reclamation technique" to deal with the vicious underwater fish.
I clicked on the bow of the boat.
We built an old incense burner in the shape of a copper duck and prepared to invite the "Melon God"
