Korean Peacock doesn't want to kill chickens to keep warm. If this coconut snail can really produce Melo Beads, Korean Peacock plans to buy all the other coconut snails, so that he may get more Melo Beads in the future.
"Is it an accident that a pearl can be formed? Even if there is a pearl in this coconut snail, it may not form another pearl in the future." Gu Lie looked at Han Peacock in confusion.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "The chances are always higher."
"If flame beads are really released, then I will buy a few to try my luck." Yuan Peng said.
When Han Kongque looked at the other two people, did they also have this intention?
"That's not possible. If this is the case, then I will buy all these coconut snails. They look like they are almost dead. If we don't take some measures, we will lose this opportunity." Han Peacock said with a smile.
He did what he said and immediately bought all the coconut snails. Although breeding coconut snails was not within the scope of Han Peacock's plan, he encountered species that were not available in his chaotic space. Han Peacock always collected some first.
Among hundreds of coconut snails, since one has pearls formed in its body, it can only be said that they may still produce pearls. Although the chance is smaller, over time, a lot of pearls will be collected.
In the chaotic space, the most indispensable thing is time, so Han Peacock has no worries.
Holding a coconut snail, Han Peacock looked at the very beautiful conch that he really wanted to cultivate. This is an edible seafood. Even if pearls are not produced, there is nothing wrong with cultivating some.
Coconut snails are also called coconut vortex snails and papaya snails. Their shells are yellow-brown, shaped like papayas, smooth and have dark brown spots. They are carnivorous and like to eat shellfish and benthic small animals. They are mainly distributed in sandy and muddy areas in temperate zones.
Shallow sea area.
The shell is yellow-brown, shaped like a papaya, smooth with dark brown spots, the cone is almost missing, the shell mouth is very large without a mouth cover, the inner lip has teeth, the outer lip is very thin, and the shell length can reach more than 20 cm.
The shell is medium or large in size, the top of the shell is usually ****-shaped, the shell axis has several wrinkles, and the front groove is often notch-shaped.
The shell surface is smooth and covered with gray-brown shell, which turns yellow after falling off.
The shell surface has large reddish-brown patches arranged in horizontal rows. These patches often disappear or are not obvious in adults.
The spiral part is short and mostly covered by the body whorl layer. Only a small part is exposed and is lower than the body whorl layer. The body whorl layer is enlarged, the shell mouth is large, and the inner surface is orange and shiny.
There is nothing strange about an orange-red pearl blooming inside the coconut snail.
"Really?" Gu Lie's eyes widened.
Chen Qing smiled on the side, when did Han Kongque do something he was not sure about?
"Is this really valuable Melo Beads?" Yuan Peng was also very surprised. The speed at which Han Kongque made money was indeed not comparable to theirs.
Han Kongque said happily: "It's only worth about 100,000 yuan, or at most 20,000 US dollars, so it can't be said to be priceless."
Han Kongque looked at the Melo bead in his hand, which was about two centimeters in diameter and weighed seven or eight grams. It had a round appearance, was orange-red, was shiny, and had lines on its surface, which was similar to a dime coin.
Such a large Merlot pearl is almost forty carats, and the price of US$500 per carat is not low.
"Just such a small bead is worth 20,000 US dollars?" Looking at the many tourists surrounding him, Yuan Peng felt that Han Peacock was pretending.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Tourists who can come here have a certain worth. Twenty thousand US dollars is really not much."
Gu Lie said: "Yes, you didn't see these people and weren't too excited?"
"Yes! Look at these people, they are all swarming to buy pearl oysters, all thinking about getting pearls. They are really not excited at all." Yuan Peng said.
Chen Qing looked at the boss and said, "You have done a great favor to this boss. These pearl oysters will be sold out soon."
Han Peacock burst out laughing: "This is so similar to gambling on stones. Being able to find pearls is also the boss's luck. When we make a small fortune, we have to let the boss take some advantage."
"Let's go! Let's go diving. I heard that there are all kinds of conchs in the coral reefs in the offshore shallows. Hawaii is very rich in marine life. Maybe we can find some coconut snails." Gulie said.
Yuan Peng said: "Don't dream. You may be able to find a large number of coconut snails when you return to Peacock Island. This is not the main producing area of coconut snails."
"The same goes for other conchs. If you can find some clams, hawksbills or something like that, that's fine. I'm not greedy at all." Gu Lie said cheerfully.
Han Peacock was also speechless. He went to sea several times and was able to get some good things every time, so Gu Lie also wanted such an adventure.
Since several brothers are willing to go to the bottom of the sea to experience things, Han Peacock will naturally not object, and when he comes to Hawaii, if he does not go diving, it will really be a wasted trip.
Hawaii is also a paradise for diving. No matter where you are in Hawaii, you will find great diving coasts.
The first choice place is Hanauma Bay, the holy diving spot in Oahu. Hanauma Bay is the favorite diving place for tourists coming to Hawaii. The water is shallow, the waves are small, there are many fish, and the scenery is beautiful. There are various natural coral reefs and tropical fish there.
Located on the southeast coast of Oahu, the scenery is charming and there are many coral reefs. It is a place where many tropical fish live together all year round. It is also a good place to experience swimming with fish.
However, for Han Kongque and others, there are too many people here, the water is too shallow, the difficulty is too low, and it is too far from the deep sea, so it is not a choice.
Of course, if there is no better diving resort, then this is also a good place, but Hawaii is uniquely endowed, and it is not difficult to find a better place to dive than Hanauma Bay.
Hanauma Bay is almost a circle, which means that the surrounding mountains almost surround a circle of sea water into a circle. Only the side leading to the ocean has a gap, allowing Hanauma Bay to connect with the ocean. This way
The place is naturally suitable for diving.
Another better place is the diving resort of Maui, Molokini. Of course, this is relatively speaking. If Han Kongque and the others want to see a wider ocean, Molokini is naturally more suitable, because
Molokini is three miles southwest of Maui, in the ocean.
Molokini is similar to Hanauma Bay. It is also a round mountain or island reef, forming a circle. However, Molokini can only be said to be a circular bay, and it is in the ocean. Here
It is an excellent attraction not to be missed when visiting Maui.
Molokini is only 3 miles off the southwest coast of Maui and covers an area of 18 acres. It is 160 feet above the water and is covered with coral reefs. Visitors can snorkel and dive among kaleidoscope-like coral reefs and 250 species of tropical fish.
Han Kongque and the others had already arranged the cruise ship and instructor through the tour guide. Of course, Han Kongque did not need others to teach them diving skills, but Chen Qing and the three of them did.
If you don't study well, you are generally not allowed to go into the water. Of course, even if there is no instructor to stop you, the guy who goes into the water will not feel good. The salty sea water will be poured into the throat, and the internal organs will be vomited out. If it is poured into the nose,
It's probably not much worse than the feeling of death.
And all of this can only happen at the bottom of the sea 10 meters above the water. Add in the occasional news that someone has become deaf while diving, and there is only one word left: fear.
But the beautiful underwater world, the leisurely swimming fish, and the feeling of weightlessness are very much like a dream, tempting many people to go into the water again and again.
As the saying goes, someone who drowns knows how to swim. As long as there is no certificate, the possibility of drowning alone is zero.
When it comes to diving, there are generally two types: snorkeling and scuba diving.
The equipment of the former is very simple, just a pair of goggles, a tube, like the reeds in Xiao Bing Zhang Gal (the function is the same, but of course the workmanship is much more exquisite than the reeds), plus flippers, and you can go into the water.
Some people also bring buoyancy aids and breathe through a tube so that their entire face can be buried in the water. This way, they don’t have to raise their heads to breathe every once in a while and can concentrate on admiring the underwater world.
Most people can master it in 5 minutes. After getting a little familiar with it, they can hold their breath, dive into the water, observe marine life at close range, and then come up and blow the water out of the tube hard.
Scuba diving, on the other hand, requires a lot of equipment and some training to get into the water safely.
In addition to the snorkeling equipment above, you also need a "vest". When you wear it, you can control the floating or sinking through the compressed air bottle on the back.
Another piece of equipment is a regulator, one end is held in the mouth and the other end is connected to the gas bottle. It adjusts the compressed air to a breathable pressure.
Connected to it is SPG, which tells you how much air is left, dive depth, direction, and sometimes temperature, time, etc.
The third piece is a set of lead weights usually tied around the waist, without which it is impossible to dive and stay underwater.
Finally, there are very heavy compressed air bottles and diving suits. Even when diving in the tropics, the water temperature is 25 degrees, but water conducts heat 20 times faster than air. If you stay in the water for a while, you will lose heat quickly without a diving suit.
Scuba diving requires a qualification certificate, otherwise you cannot rent or buy diving equipment, and the organizers of diving activities will not accept you. Organizations that grant qualifications include padi, naui, etc.
Only by participating in the courses designed by them, and after completing and passing the written examination, will a qualification certificate be issued, which is valid for life. You can use it to rent, buy or participate in diving activities. The course usually lasts three to five days.
Maui is famous for its diving resources. There are many diving shops here and the competition is fierce. Han Kongque and the others found a shop that only costs 125 US dollars, plus 30 yuan for the Padi qualification card and book.
Originally, Han Peacock didn't want to go to such trouble, but he will be in the United States frequently recently, and in the United States, some necessary documents are still required, such as diving licenses, fishing licenses, etc.
Although Han Kongque can dive, he does not have a diving certificate. In addition, Chen Qing and the others really need to learn to dive. It is impossible for Han Kongque to take them into the sea every time. Therefore, learning diving skills can also allow them to dive into the water independently.
In this way, they began the three-day diving qualification training. (To be continued.)
