Chapter 433 Deep Sea Coral Today Chapter 7, ask for a monthly pass)
It was a warning sign erected on the beach, clearly reminding that even a small scallop belongs to the ocean.
If tourists want to take away some souvenirs, they should go to designated stores to buy coral or conch craft specialties, but remember to keep the purchase receipt, otherwise they will be suspected of poaching!
Coral brings vitality to the Maldives, so the residents of this country also protect the coral in their own way: no tourist is allowed to take anything away from the sea, whether it is coral or shellfish.
The shoals around the Maldives island seem calm, but in fact there are surging undercurrents, which are very dangerous. Fortunately, Han Peacock has the magical power to control water and can control the push of these undercurrents, making the two of them more calm underwater.
The Maldives is a unique coral atoll island group formed by large and small coral atolls.
Coral reef islands are a kind of limestone accumulation distributed in shallow places in the ocean. They are formed during the growth process of various animals and plants in the ocean that can secrete limestone.
This kind of animals and plants are often called "reef-building organisms".
The underwater corals are good, but not very numerous. There are corals in many shallow water areas, and there are more fish where there are corals. Since there are no encumbrances, the Korean peacock and the catkins seem to be walking on the seabed.
Looking at the fish swimming among the corals, Liuxu said: "This is really amazing. What is your ability called? Water cover? The water pressure is so high, how can this thin water cover support it? What about the air?
Released from that flag of yours? It’s really magical!”
"There is nothing magical about it. It just controls the water to form a bubble, and the water pressure is supported by the air pressure inside the bubble. If there is still pressure, the seawater that presses against the bubble will be included in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
I just added some sea water in the flag. I feel that the more water in the flag, the stronger my water control ability will be." Han Kongque said.
Liu Catkin retracted her gaze that was nostalgic for the corals and fell on Han Peacock again. She said: "Looking at so many corals, why don't you take some of them into your water world?"
Han Peacock has always been someone who takes advantage of others. Why is he so gentlemanly this time? Is it because of the warning sign above?
Han Peacock said with a smile: "What a pity these coral bushes are destroyed!"
Liuxu said disdainfully: "Is it because I don't like these corals? Yes, these corals are really not good-looking."
Han Peacock was speechless. He really looked down upon the corals here.
I don’t say whether these corals are good or not, but people come here often, so you know that there are definitely no top-quality corals.
As for ordinary corals, Han Peacock already has a good idea. He has collected some scattered coral polyps into Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and in Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. Those coral polyps reproduce very quickly, so Han Peacock now has no
The idea was to destroy the environment here and collect corals in large quantities.
While chatting with Liuxu, Han Peacock controlled the direction and walked towards the deep sea. Only the deep sea had what he needed, and those things did not belong to the Republic of Maldives, so he would not feel guilty if he collected some.
It's getting light now. If you don't enter the deep sea quickly, you will be easily discovered here. If you are really discovered, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Maybe at that time, people who saw the catkins thought they were looking at the mermaid! By then, it would be difficult for the two of them not to cause a sensation!
"Eh? That coral is so ugly." As he went deeper into the seabed, Han Peacock felt the water pressure getting stronger and stronger. At this time, Han Peacock had no choice but to press the seawater toward him and collect a large number of people into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
, to reduce instant stress.
After finding the balance point, Han Peacock could easily maintain the blisters, wrap the two people and continue moving forward.
However, by this time the blisters had become so small that they were almost close to the two people.
Han Peacock held Liu Catkin in his arms and watched the beautiful scenery of the seabed while walking. At this time, Han Peacock also saw the coral that Liu Catkin said was indeed ugly.
The coral cluster had no luster at all, and there seemed to be rust on it. With Han Peacock's abnormal perception, he could easily find many insect eyes on it, which was completely incompatible with the beautiful coral.
"This should be dead coral." Han Peacock said.
Liu Catkin said: "Dead coral? Is it the kind of coral that is going to form an island reef or be made into a handicraft?"
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Dead corals will form coral reefs. Most of the crafts that can be made are living corals. As you can see, dead corals are so ugly. Even if they are made into handicrafts, they are still used to deceive people."
"Coral can also be faked?" Liu Xu was a little surprised.
“Of course, dead corals and most inverted corals cannot meet the requirements of gem-quality corals in terms of texture and luster, and their prices are also very different. However, because they are easier to obtain, some people often use dead corals and inverted corals as
After processing such as glue injection and waxing, it is sold as live branch coral.
Dead corals can often be picked up on the sea. The appearance of dead corals that have been glued and waxed is not much different from live corals, but after being worn for a long time, their true colors will gradually show up, and the longer they are worn, the more ugly they become."
Han Peacock brought Catkin closer to the dead coral, allowing Catkin to observe it closely. He found that the dead coral had completely transformed into a substance and did not have the agility of living coral at all.
"Live coral is still beautiful." Liu Catkin said.
Han Peacock smiled bitterly: "Because of this, live corals have suffered. Corals that are generally used for viewing or making handicrafts are all live corals. Live corals in gemology refer to those that are still alive when salvaged.
of coral.
After being salvaged, there are biological tissues on the surface, and the bone marrow is rich in oil, so after processing, it has a bright luster, dense texture, and good toughness. Therefore, living coral is the raw material for processing high-end coral products.
This kind of dead coral is the kind of coral that has long been dead when it was salvaged. Due to being immersed in seawater for a long time after death, this kind of coral has been corroded by seawater. It has not only lost its moist oily nature, but has become dry and loose, and has rust spots, luster and toughness.
All are weakened, and it will also be damaged by coral-eating organisms, leaving many insect holes, which is a poor coral material.
Inverted corals are actually dead corals, but they have been dead for a shorter period of time and are less susceptible to seawater erosion and insect damage. Most of them are still not as shiny and textured as living corals after processing."
Looking at the various colors of corals on the seabed, there are really no particularly beautiful ones. Most of the corals here are light yellow, light brown or olive. Of course, there are also many white ones, but not many of them are beautiful in shape.
Looking at the catkins a little disappointed, Han Kongque said: "These are stony corals. There are some special corals here, like the red corals that everyone knows, and the black corals that this country explicitly prohibits mining and export. These are definitely not easy to see."
If it was here, it would have been taken away long ago."
"Why are those people so bad? You see, they took away the beautiful ones and made it impossible to see them here." Liu Xu turned her head and looked at Han Peacock accusingly.
Han Peacock sweated: "Don't look at me! I'm not a saboteur?"
"You also want to destroy." Liuxu continued angrily.
Han Peacock lowered his head and obeyed. Pregnant women are neurotic and are not as knowledgeable as her.
However, this was really an injustice to Han Peacock. He really did not need these shallow sea corals, so after the catkins were attracted by the surrounding coral bushes and fish schools, Han Peacock explained: "Shallow sea corals cannot be used for making
Since the density and hardness of handicrafts are a bit low, they can only be used as strange stones for viewing, but cannot be used as raw materials for carving artworks."
"No wonder you didn't destroy it, it turned out to be useless." Liuxu said directly.
Han Peacock was speechless again. After a while, Han Peacock defended himself: "Who said these corals are useless? I can't bear to destroy them, okay? Shallow-sea corals can greatly alleviate the damaging effects of natural disasters such as typhoons and storm surges on coastal ecology.
, Therefore, coral reefs can protect the land area from being invaded. I have a small island and I need a lot of coral reefs. Do you think we can move all the corals here back?"
Liu Xu glared at Han Peacock and said, "You moved back to protect your own island, what will happen to others?"
"So I'm a good person, and I don't plan to move, so don't accuse me casually." Han Peacock said while holding the catkins.
LiuXu burst into laughter and said, "Let's go to the deep sea to mine red coral. I heard that red coral is the most beautiful."
Han Kongque said: "We are almost at the deep sea. However, even in the deep sea, red coral is not so easy to find. After all, the coral here is very famous. Someone must come here to collect it."
"How can anyone come down from the deep sea of several thousand meters?" Liu Xu said while putting on the headlamp given by Han Kongque.
Han Kongque said: "Of course, aren't we going to come down?"
"Young man, I'm very optimistic about you, hurry up and look for red corals for me." Catkin said.
Han Peacock laughed and said: "Aren't you going to protect the coral now?"
"If you find a place that is remote and difficult for humans to get down to and has a lot of corals, it's okay for us to collect some appropriately." The catkins were very smart and blocked Han Peacock's mouth.
Deep-sea coral is generally coral that grows at a water depth of 200 to 2,000 meters. Since its petrification process is completed in the deep sea, coral jade has smaller pores, higher density, and dense structure, so it is an ideal choice for various sculptures and jewelry.
The main raw material, so it is called precious coral.
Since red coral is the most precious among deep-sea corals, red coral has become synonymous with precious corals.
Han Peacock's water control ability makes him look more elegant when walking in the water. In fact, it is better to say that he is walking than flying.
The two of them were like leaves, pushed by the current, traveling rapidly through the seabed, but Han Peacock's spiritual consciousness was not idle. After all, no one could tell what was under the sea. What if they encountered something like the King Physalis Squid?
