Shiry Yang agreed.
We started the underwater propeller and floated up the same way.
I saw that she had just taken pictures of the surrounding area with an underwater camera.
I thought that the civilization of the Shang Dynasty in China was limited to the Central Plains, which was much smaller than the current territory of China. , if the ruins of Guixu, which were deeply influenced by the Shang and Zhou civilization, are really discovered at the end of the South China Sea, it will be of extraordinary significance to the study of human navigation history and civilization history.
Even if the King of Qin's bone mirror cannot be found, just taking these photos back will be enough.
It was enough to stimulate Professor Chen to be hospitalized again.
The three of us turned on all the lighting equipment and slowly floated to the coral forest.
But as soon as we came up, we discovered that something was wrong.
Team B, who was collecting eggs at the bottom of the large translucent coral tree, circled the diving searchlight towards us.
Obviously, We need immediate support.
I put my hand forward and led Shiry Yang and Uncle Ming to quickly approach the coral tree.
Ruan Hei and Duo Ling, the bosses of the boat under the coral tree, were desperately trying to pry a giant clam.
This giant clam was hiding under the coral reef.
It was three times larger than the largest millstone.
The wavy clam shell was tightly closed, letting Ruan Hei No matter how hard the two of them tried, they couldn't move the shell.
This giant clam had grown for thousands of years at least.
Its shell was white and crystal clear, almost integrated with the rocks on the seabed.
It was a man-eating clam that was good at pinching people's legs and feet.
It is actually an ancient saying that clams are born in the sea.
Because Dan people and fishermen are most afraid of empty-handed nets, so various pearl oysters are still called clams.
Although the cannibal oyster is not mentioned in the mouth of Dan people, its scientific name is "Tridacna". , but they are often called "white niches".
I don't know how many Dan people were caught and killed by this kind of thing while fishing for pearls.
I don’t know why the boat boss Ruan Hei wanted to capture it.
Before I could ask him, he couldn’t wait to tell us with gestures that there was a person inside the clam shell.
I also said that I misunderstood what Ruan Hei meant.
Apart from us, there is no one else in this turbulent coral spiral sea.
Even if this is a sea clam commonly known as the man-eating shell, how can there be "people" in its shell?
Is he alive or dead?
Uncle Ming seemed to suddenly wake up and made a fish gesture.
This time it was developed, and the man-eating berry most likely contained a rare mermaid from the sea.
Its meat was twice as expensive as platinum of equal weight.
Uncle Ming held down the man-eating clam as big as a millstone, and he was so excited that a long string of bubbles appeared.
He told us with gestures that this old clam might have trapped a mermaid on the bottom of the sea.
In fact, this was just his wishful thinking.
Only the boat boss Ruan Hei and his apprentice Duo Ling had seen what was in the clam shell, and it was difficult to describe it in detail underwater.
I saw that the shell of this rare giant clam was crystal clear and white.
It was a rare young product.
Anyway, all the watermelons in the back cabin were thrown away, leaving a lot of space.
I couldn’t stop working on it, so why not give it to it?
Lianwoduan So I made a gesture and asked Ruan Hei and Duo Ling to wait without a trace on the bottom of the sea.
Shiry Yang and I and others went back to the ship first, and asked the fat man to come down with a chisel and crowbar to help lift the thousand-year-old clam back to the deck.
After the deployment was completed, we floated to the vicinity of the decompression line, and then returned to the water tank step by step to take off the heavy equipment.
I briefed Fatty and Guchai on the underwater situation.
Fatty was so suffocated on the boat that he wanted to scratch the wall.
After understanding this, he immediately took Guchai to hand over the situation to us, and went into the water with a chisel and hydraulic separator to catch clams. .

The three masters, Ruan Hei, are all good at picking clams and eggs, and they are even more handy with the tools.
However, it still took a lot of effort to carve the "tridacna" off the reef.
A few of them used the buoyancy of the ocean current to lift it to the surface of the sea, and trapped it with a steel cable.
Uncle Ming started the boat's crane to hook the giant clam, and finally caught the thousand-year-old giant clam out of the water.
The fat man wanted to show off.
He stood on the giant clam shell suspended in mid-air, pushed the frog mirror to his forehead and shouted at me: "Old Hu, look at what this guy caught by this commander is.
According to the market, Bring it back to the United States, At least we can change to a yacht, and then we will bring some American girls."
As the crane was raised higher and higher from the sea, the fat man began to feel dizzy before he finished speaking.
He let out a cry and felt his feet tremble.
Tumbled softly into the water.
I was worried that he would get carried away and make too much noise and attract sharks, so I quickly asked Ruan Hei to drag him back to the boat.
I called the boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, to come up quickly.
It was almost time to withdraw, but Ruan Hei thought that the walrus was calm, the tide was low, and there was still water on the seabed.
There were many old snails, so how could they miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to collect eggs?
Regardless of the risk of contracting diving disease, after changing to scuba, he insisted on taking his two apprentices into the sea to collect eggs again.
Uncle Ming also had this idea, and advised me not to stop Dan Min's behavior.
Looking at the weather, it may rain, but without wind, the surge will definitely not be strong.
As long as there is no surge, no matter how heavy the rain is on the sea, , will not have any impact on diving operations.
But Uncle Ming himself doesn’t want to dive again.
After all, master and apprentice Ruan Hei are paid helpers, and they have not lost half of their dividends.
Since they want to make a big profit, why bother to stop them?
Just let them do it. alright.
At this time, the sky was even more overcast, with thick clouds like ink covering the sea.
There seemed to be a dangerous signal coming from the sea breeze.
My uncle and the boat boss Ruan Hei are very familiar with the walrus weather.
Since they said it was fine, there was nothing wrong with the news.
It is said that there are storm surges all year round in the Coral Spiral Sea.
Except for the night when the full moon is eclipsing, the sky will clear up.
The clouds are usually thick and deep, and the turbulence in the sky accompanied by infrasonic thunderstorms often occurs, making it difficult for aircraft to fly over the seabed.
Low-frequency electromagnetic waves interfere with ship electronic equipment, causing the needle to lose track and deviate from the course.
Many catastrophic accidents are caused by this, but this phenomenon remains unexplained.
At this time, Cong Shiryyang was looking at the captured man-eating clam curiously.
Since everyone was busy continuing to collect eggs, they had no time to pay attention to it.
They just grabbed it with a steel rope and prepared to collect it again.
Shiry Yang said to me: "Look at the undulations of the white shell of the man-eating clam, which looks like waves or the wheels of an ancient Roman chariot.
It is a wonder of the creation of heaven and earth.
It is really beautiful.
Look at it.
The texture of the clam shell is extremely fine, which shows that it has been growing on the seabed for at least thousands of years.
Human civilization has only been around for a few thousand years, but this man-eating clam has survived for almost thousands of years.
It has amazed mankind for decades.”
I'm worried that Cong Shiry Yang will be merciful and want to release this old clam into the sea.
If this green-headed thing that everyone worked so hard to get is lost, wouldn't it mean that the fat in the mouth will fly away again?
Since you have lived for so many years, you should be good enough, because the great teacher once said that the meaning of life does not lie in its length, but in whether it can produce value.
But people's correct ideas do not fall from the sky, so I had to do her work and said: "Many creatures in the sea have extremely long lifespans, ranging from thousand-year-old turtles to eighty-thousand-year-old turtles.

I think it is not surprising that they can live for thousands of years.
Cannibalism In fact, clams do not eat human flesh, but once their jagged shells pinch a person, they will close tightly.
From ancient times to the present, egg people have often encountered this difficulty, so Only then did he give it the shocking name of man-eating clam.
From what Ruan Hei said, he seemed to see a dead person trapped in the clam shell.
For thousands of years, no egg dweller had dared to enter the coral.
I don’t know if the spiral egg is a mermaid in the South China Sea or a sea wolf of a shipwrecked crew member, but this blood debt must be repaid with blood.
Let’s find someone to pry it open first.”
As I was talking, it started to rain, and there was endless darkness between the sea and the sky.
Although it was daytime, it felt like it was evening.
The sea in the distance was dark and vast, with only a few buoys shining brightly, but we must You can't leave until the tide rises again, and you can't do anything about the bad weather.
Fortunately, as Uncle Ming said, although it rained hard, it had little impact on the walruses, and the waves were still gentle.
I think it was probably related to the release of sea air the day before.
The geography and weather in the Coral Spiral Sea area are difficult to predict with common sense, and there were heavy rains in the sky.
As noted, the sea was actually calm.
We all went back to the cabin to get our raincoats and put them on, and braved the rain to deal with the man-eating clam.
Because the light was dark in the rain, we had to turn the searchlight on the roof of the boat and shine it on the clam shell.
A bit penetrating.
The giant clam was not dead yet when it came out of the water.
It was soaked by the rain and was about to move again, but the shell was still tightly closed, not showing any gaps.
Faced with this living creature that is thousands of years old, Fatty and I really don't know what to do.
If the clam shell is damaged, it will be worthless.
When Uncle Ming saw that the clam was about to be broken, he also hurriedly followed suit.
He believed that the clam contained a priceless mermaid.
I had never heard of mermaids in the South China Sea, so I thought it was similar to the one made into an immortal candle in the tomb of King Xian.
The black-scaled shark asked Uncle Ming if these two things were the same thing.
Uncle Ming said that sharks and mermaids are two different things, one evil and one good, with different habits and appearance.
Mermaids cannot make sounds, but their meat is edible, while sharks are evil in nature and can make seductive sounds on the sea.
They cannot eat flesh poisoned, but their ointment can be used as permanent fuel.
Ignorant people easily confuse the two.
However, although the black-scaled sharks are rare, some people have caught them after all.
This "mermaid", or "fish-man" is so rare that it is rare to find it in a hundred years, and its meat is unparalleledly delicious.
There is a legend that people who eat fish meat can live forever, but no one has ever actually eaten it.
Once when he was sailing in Nanyang, his sailors caught two mermaids alive in the sea.
They were all human-shaped from the navel up, no different from normal people.
Their lower bodies were similar to scaly feet.
They could use the wake water to stand on the rough waves.
Among them, if you look closely, you will see that the whole body of the mermaid is covered with a layer of slippery mucus, which is very fishy and inaccessible.
After being caught, they were placed in a large bucket filled with water.
The crew gathered around to watch.
The pair of mermaids were not frightened and just swam around in the bucket.
Uncle Ming didn't know much about the goods at that time, so he happened to meet a businessman on a boat who was willing to sell the mermaid for release, so he demanded a sum of money and let the businessman take the mermaid away.
Later he learned that mermaids were sold in the black markets in North America and Europe.
Price, more than equal weight of platinum Twice the time, Uncle Ming realized that he had been tricked.
He beat his chest and regretted it.
After more than ten years, when he thought about it, he still had a tight chest and dreamed about it and cursed him endlessly.

He was too kind and easy to trust others, otherwise he would not be like that.
The profiteer who suffered a thousand cuts was cheated.
Now that he had the chance to get another mermaid, how could he not let it happen on a whim?
