Xiang Yang nodded.
really.
Deep-sea fishing is not aquaculture. It is impossible to only fish for a certain type of aquatic product just because that type of aquatic product is valuable. You cannot even deliberately look for that type of aquatic product. Everything should be left to nature. You should drag back whatever you catch. This is the only way to make money.
Especially since Xiang Yang's boat is now very big and his expenses are also high. If he really looks for which seafood is valuable and deliberately looks for that kind of seafood, his life will definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.
If I happen to come across it in the future, I'll just grab some, Xiang Yang thought to himself.
Xiang Yang had no good solution to this problem.
Although he might be able to find a larger group of crabs if he really looked for them, but if he did this unconventional thing too many times, it would inevitably arouse other people's suspicion.
Besides, although crab roe is valuable, there are plenty of valuable things in the sea. Xiang Yang doesn't have to catch crab roe. He can also catch other marine creatures.
After dinner.
The crew members gathered in twos and threes on the deck to chat.
Xiang Yang used the excuse of playing with the killer whale underwater, and after putting on his swimsuit on the boat, he jumped to the bottom of the sea.
Arriving in the sea, Xiang Yang looked around carefully, trying to see if he could catch a few more golden crabs or butter crabs. If that didn't work, he could just catch some ordinary crabs.
After eating the crab roe once, Xiang Yang has started to look down on ordinary swimming crabs. The two cannot be compared in terms of meat quality or taste.
After being transformed by the mysterious sea pearl, Xiang Yang's vision can basically see to the limit of the surrounding open area at a glance, until his vision is blocked by reefs or seaweed. It is almost equivalent to having a 16x scope.
Within Xiang Yang's sight, he saw many different kinds of marine fish, including economical edible fish, valuable ornamental fish, and even very rare protected fish.
Unfortunately, the group of crabs that Xiang Yang encountered before had disappeared. Probably because dozens of members were suddenly missing from their group, the entire group was frightened and migrated as a whole.
Xiang Yang glanced around, then swam quickly to another location and continued to look around.
Xiang Yang searched for more than ten minutes, but he didn't see even a single roe crab, let alone a group of roe crabs, butter crabs, or even golden crabs.
But Xiang Yang had no intention of giving up.
Because Xiang Yang relied on this carpet-style search that was comparable to the human body's radar, although he did not find any trace of crab roe, he found a lot of rare seafood. His net bag was now filled with a lot of good things.
Even just now, Xiang Yang encountered a living nautilus.
certainly.
Xiang Yang just took a look at the living nautilus and then swam away. That thing is not allowed to be caught, and its protection level is said to be higher than that of the humphead wrasse.
"The seaweed in this sea area is very abundant, but what's strange is that there are not many fish resources except crabs. Is it because there are not many plankton?" Xiang Yang was a little confused, but he understood why he didn't catch any valuable fish after casting three nets in a row today.
However, there are abundant seaweed here, and there are many creatures such as scallops and oysters among the seaweed, so the fish have no shortage of food. If developed properly, this sea area may become an excellent fishing ground in the near future.
After circling around again, Xiang Yang almost filled the net bag around his waist. He gave up the idea of continuing to look for the crab roe school and swam towards the sea reluctantly.
While floating up, Xiang Yang's eyelids suddenly twitched and he saw a huge mass.
"It looks like a shipwreck."
In fact, Xiang Yang was not sure whether what he saw was a sunken ship.
The reason is that the object looks too much like a ship, but it is covered with seaweed and long seaweed. If you don't look closely, you can't see its true appearance.
Xiang Yang quickly swam towards that direction.
When he got closer, Xiang Yang's face showed a mixture of worry and joy.
The good news is that this is indeed a shipwreck, and any shipwreck must have treasures on it.
What is worrying is that this is within the territorial waters and private salvage of items from the sunken ship is not allowed.
This is an ironclad ship with thick rust on the armor. Judging from the rust on the iron, it has definitely been sunk to the bottom of the sea for no more than a hundred years, otherwise it would not just be thick rust, but nothing left at all.
In terms of size, this ironclad ship is even larger than the Mongolian shipwreck Xiang Yang encountered before. It is more than 30 meters long and is almost as big as the drift net fishing boat he sold.
Xiang Yang circled the sunken ship several times, kicking the hull from time to time. After making sure that there were no large octopuses or squids living inside, he swam towards the cabin.
After entering the cabin, he took just a few steps and then stopped.
At the cabin door, he saw a hairy green ball.
The strange thing is that there is a semicircular inclined bracket on the edge of the sphere, which strings the two ends of the sphere together. There seems to be a triangular bracket at the bottom of the bracket.
Xiang Yang squatted down and gently touched the ball.
It's a bit heavy, and seems to have a metallic texture, Xiang Yang thought to himself.
After confirming that this was a metal handicraft, Xiang Yang felt relieved. He simply grasped the triangular metal bracket at the bottom of the sphere and picked up the sphere.
"What is this?" Xiang Yang always felt that this thing looked very familiar. He quickly rubbed the ball hard a few times to wipe off the green algae on it.
The green algae on the sphere was wiped off, and Xiang Yang finally saw the true appearance of the sphere.
"It really is a globe." Xiang Yang laughed dumbly. "It's a copper globe with English words on it. This thing should be a European artifact from the beginning of the last century, or the end of the last century, right?"
This is good stuff.
The globe is made of bronze and is so well preserved that it has great collection value. If it meets a collector who likes it, its price will be limitless.
Xiang Yang hurriedly put it away carefully, preparing to take it up with him when he went up later. If he didn't say that he had discovered a shipwreck, he could just say that he had picked up a globe, and no one would bother him.
Xiang Yang continued to walk into the cabin.
Just like the Mongolian warship, no rotting corpses were found. It is likely that when the ship sank, everyone on board escaped.
There were some long guns covered with black rust scattered all over the cabin.
It was a long-barreled flintlock gun that fired gunpowder and iron fragments, and could not be loaded with bullets. This type of gun would have been considered very backward even a hundred years ago.
