From the Island Owner to the King

'Exploration and development' here can be considered to include all fishing activities, whether commercial or recreational.

These activities include: fishing and finding fishing grounds; fishing with fishing gear; loading and processing of the catch, or transfer of the catch to other vessels, carrying the catch back to port, selling the catch, etc.

June has passed.

The upcoming hot July.

However, Tortuga Island is located in the hinterland of the Caribbean Sea. The temperature throughout the year remains between 25 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference throughout the year is not large, and the temperature of the sea also remains around 30 degrees Celsius.

Even in the hot summer, the temperature change is barely noticeable on Tortuga.

The treasure of the ancient Inca Empire that Chen Rui commissioned Christie's to auction was completed a few days ago.

One of the most interesting are the three rare treasures of the ancient Inca Empire.

'Golden man', the golden ship, the head of the Inca god.

Among them, the "Golden Man" was photographed by the Colombian government, and the transaction price reached 44.89 million US dollars. It is currently preserved in the Colombian Gold Museum and has become one of the treasures of the museum.

Tourists who want to see the "Golden Man" only need to spend 2,800 pesos (about 1.4 US dollars) to buy a ticket to the Colombian Gold Museum, and then they can see the true face of the legendary "Golden Man".

Legend has it that the Indian chief brought a large number of gold offerings and various objects to the 'golden boat' to worship the gods on Lake Guadaveda, which was won by an anonymous telephone bidder at a high price of 57.88 million US dollars.

I'm afraid I want to see the real golden boat in the future, I can only see it in the picture.

The head of the Inca god was photographed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with a transaction price of 67.2 million US dollars. It is currently preserved in the pre-Columbian exhibition hall of the Americas for tourists to visit.

Except for the 'golden man', the golden boat, and the head of the Inca god, the rest of the treasures such as gold utensils, emeralds, and gems were all auctioned at high prices, and there was no first-rate auction.

The total transaction price was US$897 million.

It has set a new record for the total transaction volume of a special auction. Perhaps, it will be difficult to break this record in the future.

897 million US dollars, deducting commissions, taxes and other expenses, and 768.1 million US dollars, equivalent to 4.76 billion yuan + RMB, was remitted to Chen Rui's bank account.

On July 5, a batch of Burmese jade and some cutting and carving tools purchased by Chen Rui arrived.

First, Chen Rui spent several days using cutting tools to cut the batch of Burmese jade into mahjong-sized pieces.

Then, it took more than a week to carve various runes on the jade cut to the size of mahjong.

These jade stones with carved runes can form thirty-two sets of spirit gathering arrays.

Then, Chen Rui drew the topographic map of the seabed with the help of various underwater scanning and camera tools.

Divide the topographic map of the seabed into thirty-two parts.

In each part of the seabed topographical icon, each aura node of a spirit gathering array is shown.

After the drawing, the entire seabed topographic map is densely packed with aura nodes.

It is a lot of work to show countless aura nodes on the seabed topographic map alone.

What's more, you have to dive into the bottom of the sea to bury the jade yourself.

The workload is dozens of times that of marking each aura node on the seabed topographic map.

Chen Rui took a fishing boat to the target sea area.

Located in the east-northeast of Tortuga Island, it covers an area of ​​about ten square kilometers.

Then, dive into the sea.

Bury the jade according to the aura node indicated by the seabed topographic map.

In order to prevent the jade from being moved and damaged by water currents or animals in the ocean, which would lead to the failure of a spirit gathering array, Chen Rui dug out the sand to a depth of one or two meters, and then buried it in the jade.

It took another week.

Thirty-two sets of spirit gathering arrays cover a sea area of ​​more than ten square kilometers.

Within the coverage area of ​​the Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the water is ten times higher than that of other places, and in the core area, the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the water is even hundreds of times higher.

Gradually, attracted by the aura contained in the water, a large number of schools of fish and other marine creatures gathered in this sea area.

Food for fish and marine life Plankton and seaweed grow wildly under the breeding of spiritual energy, providing a lot of food for fish and marine life.

From small phytoplankton to macroplankton, benthic herbivores, to zooplankton-eating fish, benthic carnivorous fish, and finally to fish-eating fish.

In this ten-square-kilometer sea area, it seems to constitute a perfect ecological balance.

on the apron.

A helicopter lands.

An old white man climbed down from the helicopter, followed by a butler who was very British gentleman, and two bodyguards in black with stern expressions.

"Count Hill, you are welcome to be a guest on the island." Chen Rui greeted him, said with a smile, and stretched out his left hand.

Earl Hill stretched out his right hand, shook hands, and said with a smile, "I heard from my friend that there are more than a dozen live spearfish on your island, and I can't wait to take a look. "

Earl Hill is a famous British paleontologist.

Hearing this, Chen Rui said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, spearfish generally live at the bottom of the pond at a depth of 1 to 200 meters.

Usually they surface for a short period of time every morning. Obviously, you missed the time to observe the spearfish today. To see the spearfish, you have to wait until you get up early tomorrow morning. "

Spearfish usually inhabit the bottom of 1,200 meters deep.

However, because Chen Rui used to feed the spearfish with pregnant sea spring water, he often chose to use it around 6 or 7 in the morning.

Over time, the spearfish formed a conditioned reflex, and it would surface every morning at six or seven in the morning, waiting for Chen Rui to feed it the spring water of the pregnant sea spring.

Therefore, there is a specific time to observe spearfish every day, that is, 6:00 to 7:00 in the morning.

Every morning before dawn, a large group of people, armed with cameras, video recorders and other photographic equipment, quietly lay on the edge of the pond, carefully observing the habits and movements of the spearfish.

A specific spectacle is formed on the island.

"That's a pity." Earl Hill said in disappointment.

Chen Rui said with a smile, "It's not too much of a pity. I missed it today and tomorrow. There will be a banquet on the island tonight, and I invite you to attend."

"Thank you for your invitation, I will definitely come." Earl Hill thanked him.

Next, Chen Rui personally arranged for Earl Hill and his housekeeper and bodyguard to live in a detached courtyard in the garden.

－－

There are still 8 hours before the banquet starts, and the time is relatively tight.

Many things have to be arranged by Chen Rui himself.
