My Deep-sea Fishery

At this moment, Xiang Yang saw a very surprising scene.

The flower that seemed to be about to wither just now straightened up in an instant, and the vine part was shaking wildly under the eagle's claws, as if suffering from epilepsy.

"Uh." Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that what Hutou Haidi grabbed was a crinoid.

Crinoid is not a plant, it is a kind of echinoderm, and it is one of the oldest creatures on this planet. According to biologists' research on crinoids, it has existed on this planet for a long time. Most of the paleontology are older. It used to have a very large population in the ocean. There are more than 5,000 fossils of crinoid species discovered by humans.

Of course, no matter how large the group is, it will still be eclipsed by time. There are less than 600 species of crinoids that once had such a large group.

"Crack!" The tiger-headed sea eagle emerged from the bottom of the sea, threw the crinoid on the deck, and shook its feathers gracefully.

"This, what is this?"

The crew members were stunned to see the lily writhing crazily on the deck. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and their breathing became short of breath. "Could this be the legendary elixir?"

Speaking of sea lily's face, no one would believe that it is not a panacea.

Its shape looks very much like a lily. This crinoid also has a stalk that resembles a plant root, and long feather-like tentacles protrude from the stalk, just like the leaves of a plant.

In fact, it was really regarded as a fairy flower in the Tang Dynasty.

In Tang Taizong's later years, an official paid a tribute to Li Shimin with a crinoid, and Li Shimin regarded it as a panacea.

"This eagle actually likes to catch crinoids, and it won't eat them." Xiang Yang rubbed the head of Hutouhaihai, quite surprised.

"Brother Yang, are you saying that the name of this elixir is crinoid?" Fang Youqun asked.

"What panacea?" Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "This is an animal, a type of echinoderm, and its name is crinoid."

"animal?"

A crew member squatted down and looked carefully for a while, "Why do I think this is not an animal, what about its fins or feet?"

"I also look like a panacea."

"The elixir of fart." Xiang Yang went directly to pick up the crinoid from the deck, "This is a very helpless animal. The competition for survival in the ocean is fierce, but this kind of crinoid with a handle Crinoids are immobile like a plant on the bottom of the sea. They cannot fight back or escape when attacked by other animals. We can only hope that predators will not eat it all at once. Its regenerative ability is relatively strong. An animal doesn't die when it eats part of a tentacle or stalk, it grows back just by giving it time."

"There are such animals?" The crew members were amazed.

"The strange animals in the sea have gone. If you don't know, it doesn't mean there are none." Xiang Yang put the crinoid in a water tank, "I don't know if it can be kept alive."

At this time, Xu Fang's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Tsk tsk, to be able to find Hai Lily, I don't know if our luck is good or bad."

"How to say?" Xiang Yang actually doesn't know much about crinoids, he only knows about this kind of creature, but he doesn't know its specific value at all.

Xu Fang smiled and said: "Crinoids with handles can't move, they can only live in the same sea area for generations. If you can find living crinoids, you may be able to find crinoid fossils."

Xiang Yang's eyes lit up, "The crinoid fossils are very valuable?"

Crinoids grew 450 million years ago, 200 million years earlier than the age of dinosaurs. They can be regarded as one of the earliest creatures in history. Such ancient biological fossils must not only have high scientific and archaeological value, but will also be collected by many The holy product in the eyes of the family.

But then Xiang Yang regained his composure, no matter how valuable it is, so what?

This is not the high seas, and it is a crime to salvage and hide treasures in territorial waters without permission.

"It's very precious." Xu Fang said, "I've seen crinoid fossils in museums before. The brighter the crystal of the fossil, the higher the collection value. Later, I specifically inquired about the price of the crinoid fossil. I found out that in 2006, a collector who did not want to be named transferred a 2-meter-wide piece. For the 1.2-meter crinoid fossil, the transfer price at that time was 12 million.”

There was a sound of gasping for air immediately.

The price is simply horrible.

Everyone looked at the crinoid in the water tank, and their eyes changed. Some crew members even wanted to kill the crinoid and bury it in the soil immediately. Any abalone made of dried abalone as an heirloom is weaker than this one. , this is the best choice for a true family heirloom.

"Don't even think about it." Xiang Yang guessed what these crew members were thinking, and said directly: "Fossils are not made so easily, don't even think about it for thousands of years."

Only then did everyone smile embarrassingly. After thousands of years, the devil knows what it will be like after thousands of years.

"I'll take this crinoid back as an ornamental fish and see if Boss Peng will take it. If not, we'll cook it and eat it." Xiang Yang said.

Everyone's faces froze, and their faces twitched, feeling as if Xiang Yang wanted to eat their lifeblood.

Xiang Yang didn't care so much, he asked Chen Qingsheng to go to the cabin to get a chicken wing as a reward for the tiger-headed sea eagle, and then told the crew to disperse and continue to do what they should do.

As for going to sea to find and salvage crinoid fossils?

Xiang Yang has no interest in this at all.

The fishing boat continued to sail eastward, and about half an hour later, Xiang Yang ordered Zhou Wang to cast another net.

Because Xiang Yang made the channel sail a little southerly before, and the sea water in this area has gone beyond the continental shelf and the sea water has become extremely deep. Just drag the net forward, anyway, you can't drag it to the bottom of the sea.

The fishing net was cast down, and soon the fishing boat began to sail backwards. According to Xiang Yang's experience, the net will definitely be rewarding, and he immediately shouted: "Retract the net."

Zhou Wang immediately operated the winch switch.

After a while, everyone saw a large bag of catches being hoisted up by steel cables, and the fish in the fishing nets shone silvery-white under the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

"A bumper harvest, a bumper harvest." He Mingde smiled when he saw the big bag of fish.

Xiang Yang also showed a smile on his face, and immediately ordered: "Quick, Chen Qingsheng, take two people to the cabin to get the foam tank out, and a few people over there to bring the water tank, and the others will clean up the catch with me. The seafood must be dealt with first.”
