Everyone around nodded.

The rubber boat on the boat is fixed, and it is necessary to remove it and screw a few more screws, which is even more troublesome to retract and place.

No one is willing to go through the trouble of small things that can be solved with just a few dozen dollars.

"Let's get off the boat." Li Xuan ordered.

Chen Bin immediately asked someone to lower the hanging ladder and ordered a few people to land on the island.

The daily duty on the ship is a fixed list, which is usually a group of two people. This time, the wheels are directly backwards in turn, leaving a total of six groups of people, and the remaining people all land on the island. According to the rotation table, the ship is on the ship No one can tell me.

Soon, Li Xuan climbed onto a small boat and sat down.

Not to mention, although this boat looks small and looks too tall and uncoordinated, it seems to have no sense of balance and may overturn at any time.

In fact, when I got on the boat, Li Xuan found that the boat was actually very stable. Six people were sitting on the boat, and the ferry was traveling in the sea, very stable and not slow.

Li Xuan asked the boatman under the boat, "You usually drag so many people to and from Xingcheng and Xingdao? Are you not tired of sitting on the sea for a few days?"

The business of the boatman came from the bottom, "How can you? The seats above can be folded. All of them are folded, just like two sleeper berths, and two small stools can be placed. If you go back and forth, you can go back and forth, you can go there at one time. It can only carry two passengers, but not six."

Li Xuan nodded and no longer studied this. The most common thing his generation of young people is the hikers who traveled around. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, taking such a small ferry to sea will not only not feel dangerous, but also very romantic. uncertain.

Soon, Li Xuan and his crew arrived on the island.

Most of this island is an undeveloped primeval forest, with countless dangers inside, and no one has penetrated deep inside.

But there have been some developments around the coast, and there are many business people on it, including barbecue stalls, tents, and souvenirs.

As soon as Li Xuan arrived on the island, many people immediately surrounded him and sold various shell crafts.

Chen Bin immediately led people to stop the vendors.

The other party was not too entangled. Perhaps because he knew that Li Xuan and others were fishermen and often dealt with the ocean. Things like shells really couldn't get into their eyes.

After dismissing the small vendors, Li Xuan felt relieved all over. He opened his hands and took a deep breath of the air on the island, feeling refreshed.

"Boss, do you need a guide on the island?" The boatman who sent Li Xuan over looked at Li Xuan with a gaze.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "No, I want to rest and relax on the island first. I feel that it's good here. I don't want to go anywhere now."

"Oh." The boatman responded, a little disappointed, but said: "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'm here, I want to go back and come to me at any time."

"Wait." Li Xuan stopped him again.

"Boss?" The ship owner looked at Li Xuan in confusion.

"I heard many people say that there are pearl mussels near Xingdao. Is this true?" Li Xuan asked.

The boatman was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is indeed true, but those pearl mussels cannot be collected. Otherwise, we would not be here, and we would have collected them long ago."

Li Xuan looked at the other party in confusion, not understanding what this said meant.

"What does it mean that there are indeed pearl mussels near Xingdao, but they cannot be collected?" Li Xuan asked.

The boatman seemed to know a lot about pearl mussels. He pointed to the dense areas of the island jungle and said vividly: "The creatures like clams like to live in cool and low-temperature waters. Xingdao has a unique geographical location.

The sunny position on the east side is low and the undulating terrain is small, so there is no pearl mussel living, while the west side is different. It is the sunny position on the back, which is very suitable for the survival of pearl mussels, so the pearl mussels near Xingdao all survive.

On the west side of the island.”

Li Xuan nodded and was about to continue asking questions, but suddenly he remembered that when he came, he had already seen that to the west of Xingdao, there was a smooth cliff, and the highest point of the cliff there was a total of ten meters away from the sea.

The seabed is also a smooth ocean basin, very deep. At least ordinary people can find it difficult to reach that depth with the help of ordinary diving equipment, let alone conduct underwater operations at that depth.

"Boss, do you want to go to the west of the island to see? There are clams betting on it, and people often open pearls from the clam shells. Many big bosses who come by yachts like to go there." The ship owner asked.

.

"No." Li Xuan shook his head. He had already obtained enough useful news from the owner's entrance.

For Li Xuan, as long as he obtains a location in the sea of ​​pearl mussels, it is really easy to salvage pearl mussels.

At the same time, Li Xuan's octopus clone at the bottom of the sea also took the giant copper octopus and swam quickly to the west of the island.

However, before swimming halfway, Li Xuan was stunned.

I saw a huge shell lying quietly among the corals on the bottom of the sea.

The shell is really big, with a length of nearly two meters. Li Xuan himself can drill into the shell directly. Its appearance is white and looks very beautiful. It looks very similar to the Journey to the West that Li Xuan had read before, and the night pearls in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

The big clam shell.

"It's actually a giant clam." Li Xuan breathed slowly, with an unconcealed surprise in his eyes.

Tridacna is a rare organic gem, as white as jade, and is also a Buddhist sacred object.

In the West, giant clams, pearls, corals and amber are known as the four major treasures.

In Buddhism, conch is regarded as the seven treasures together with gold, silver, glass, agate, coral and pearls.

As far as Li Xuan knows, the so-called giant clam gem is made of the body of the shellfish giant clam.

The giant clam is the second largest among all shells found in the ocean, and the first is the direct-shelled Nautilus, which has long been extinct.

Unlike the straight-shelled nautilus, the large seafood bivalve species, the giant clam, still survives on the seabed. Its size is large and its diameter can be close to two meters.

It is a large-scale seafood bivalve distributed in the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific.

There are nine species in the world, all of which live in the coral reef environment in tropical waters.

There are also giant clams distributed among many islands in the South my country Sea, but the number is very rare, and each one is very precious.

The origin of the name Tridacna began in the Han Dynasty. Because there were radial grooves on the surface of the shell, which looked like ancient ruts, it was called "Chequ". Later generations added stones next to the Chequ because they were as hard as stones.
