"Show us quickly!" The communicator immediately exploded. Shi Si's voice was already high-pitched. When he was breathing helium and oxygen, the penetrating power of his voice was no less than that of a sonic weapon.
"Don't make any noise, my head hurts!" Ling Hao rubbed his temples, took a white towel from the bathroom, carefully poured the pearls in the sealed bag onto the towel and wiped them, 6 round black pearls the size of a fingernail.
Then he appeared in front of everyone.
Shi Si's voice became much calmer, and he said thoughtfully: "If this kind of black pearl is round enough and has no flaws, the price should be okay. Looking at the size, the diameter should have reached 15 mm, which is about 10 carats.
, these are not cultured beads, but natural deep-sea beads. They have been grown long enough, have good gloss, and are round enough. I will make a not-so-authoritative estimate. If they were put up for auction, one pearl would probably cost 100,000 yuan.
Yeah, but this kind of thing is rare, and there aren't many reference prices. It all depends on the buyer's preference. Even if 6 of them are auctioned together, they might fetch a sky-high price, but I estimate that the total is only a hundred.
Probably level 10,000.”
Everyone was a little discouraged when they heard it. The price really can't be called a treasure. But Ling Hao smiled slyly and said: "The big product hasn't been taken out yet, so everyone kept their eyes open and looked at it."
Another sealed bag was taken out, and an object the size of a pigeon egg was poured on the towel. Ling Hao wiped it a few times and slowly opened the towel. A golden halo immediately illuminated the inner cabin of the "Stone Crab"
.In the shocked eyes of everyone, the halo slowly turned into light blue, then lavender, changing constantly.
"Baoguang, this is the pearl's treasured light!" Yang Xueting shouted excitedly, and everyone rubbed their eyes and looked carefully at the source of the treasured light.
This is a drop-shaped black pearl the size of a pigeon egg. It has a bright luster, with faint green, purple and blue light in the black, as if it is full of colorful Xia Rui, which makes people dazzled.
"How's it going? Let's estimate the price of this one." Ling Hao asked Shi Sidao sternly.
The latter swallowed, cleared his throat and said: "This one must weigh nearly 30 grams, which is about 150 carats. This is already a treasure that can be ranked among the top ten pearls in the world. How can I
Can you estimate the price? In short, it must be a sky-high price. It is absolutely impossible to get away with more than one million US dollars. You are the discoverer, so hurry up and give it a name."
Ling Hao thought for a while and said: "Since it is in the shape of a drop of water, let's call it 'Mermaid Tears'."
"What a name! Let Uncle Liang contact the auction house when we get back. Let's make a good profit this time." Yuan Bing yelled, as if he had already seen the sports car and the mansion.
"Okay, don't forget what we are here to do. Professor Levins and his two students are still uncertain whether they are alive or dead. Let's go find someone right now." Ling Hao greeted, and Yang Xueting drove the "Pippi Shrimp"
No." and start searching forward.
After driving for about ten meters, the cave has become so narrow that the mini-submarine can no longer move forward. Two stalagmites were broken on one side of the rock wall. The bottom of the cave is full of gravel, and some metal objects can be faintly seen.
Buried in rubble.
"Found it, Tian Yong and I went out to clean up the rubble, and then used the cable to drag the submarine out of the rubble." Ling Hao put on his diving mask and took Tian Yong out of the cabin.
Professor Levins and his submarine were not completely buried by rubble, at least the hatch was exposed. However, the cockpit was partially buried under the pile of rocks, and the condition of the people inside could not be seen. Ling Hao and Tian Yong were together
After a quarter of an hour of clearing stones, the glass cover of the cockpit was revealed. A chubby guy was waving his hands outwards with excitement. He was obviously the foodie Robert among the students.
, but he was the only one in the cockpit, and the professor and another student were nowhere to be seen.
Ling Hao took out his diving writing board and wrote in English: "What's the pressure inside the submarine?"
Robert quickly took a writing pad and wrote: "The inside of the boat has been pressurized, and the professor has left the cabin."
Ling Hao was speechless for a while. This professor really didn't bother anyone and didn't wait for rescue honestly. Why was he running around at this time? Did he think his life was too long? The only thing he could do now was get the fat man back to the "Pippi Shrimp"
", let's drag the submarine out of the pile of rocks.
After a while, Robert walked out of the cabin wearing a diving suit, and then entered the "Pippi Shrimp". Ling Hao and the others also tied the cable to the submarine in the pile of rocks. After returning to the cabin, Yang Xueting was responsible for towing, while Ling Hao
Then he asked Robert about the professor and their situation.
"We saw a strange light on the cave wall, and we were about to take a closer look when we were attacked." Robert said happily in English with an Irish accent. "It was only later that we saw clearly, my God, that was a
A huge mantis shrimp, like a boxer, punched the submarine so hard that it couldn't help but move backwards, and even the camera was knocked away. I just wanted to run away, but I made a mistake in the rush. I hit the joystick and came face to face.
It hit a stalactite, and then the house collapsed, and she was almost buried alive. After some attempts, the submarine was unable to move, and the communication failed. It was too far from the entrance of the cave, and there was still damage.
Because of the pressure problem, it is unrealistic to swim back in a diving suit and can only wait for rescue. The professor thought that idleness is idle, so it is better to put on a diving suit and go out of the cabin to explore deeper into the cave to see if there is anything else discovered, so
After adding pressure, I took Peter out."
Ling Hao wanted to scold his mother, why is this professor so arrogant? His own life was hanging by a thread, and he was not honest. He could have just picked up the person and left, but this time, he had to continue to find someone. He said with a helpless smile:
"The three of you stay here and fix the damaged submarine to the bottom of the 'Pipi Shrimp' with steel cables. I'll go find the two of them."
Yang Xueting handed her speargun to Ling Hao and said, "It's more dangerous here than you think. Use this for self-defense." Ling Hao nodded and took an APS underwater assault rifle from the storage box and put it on his back.
I just put on the mask and left the cabin.
Leaving aside the fact that Yang Xueting, Tian Yong and Robert stayed behind to tinker with the submarine, Ling Hao carried a gun and turned on his headlight and swam cautiously into the depths of the cave. The cave was getting narrower and narrower, and he only swam for twenty minutes.
The diameter of the cave is barely enough for a person to pass upright.
Shi Si's voice came from the communicator: "Brother, you'd better adjust the camera below the headlight. This way I can only see the top of the cave, not the front. Now the cave is getting narrower and narrower, and I don't feel very good."
Okay, why don't you come back? They want to die themselves and they can't blame others."
"You can't say that. We are all here. We have two living lives. How can we just ignore them? Besides, from a business perspective, we have received money. At the very least, we have to see people die.
If you want to see the corpse, you can't explain it when you go back like this. Don't worry, with your brother and my skills, and with the gun at my side, even if I encounter any deep sea monster, I can still defeat it." Ling Hao.
He smiled and comforted.
"Okay, I know I can't persuade you, but remember, the lives of their rich people are our lives, and the lives of us ordinary people are also our lives. After all, our own lives are the most valuable, do you understand?" Shi Si sighed and asked.
road.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"The detector on your body shows that the deeper you go into the cave, the lower the salinity of the seawater. This is a bit strange. Please be careful." Shi Si's worry and concern can be heard in her tone.
Ling Hao felt warm in his heart and continued to swim forward.
As he swam, a stick-like object floated in front of him. It was about one meter long, as thick as an arm, with one end thick and one pointed, slightly curved, like an ivory, which aroused Ling Hao's curiosity.
When he got closer, he was surprised. There were many octopus-like tentacles sticking out from the thick end of this thing. What kind of ghost was this?
"Sisi, what is this?" Ling Hao adjusted the camera on his mask and pointed it at the little monster.
"I'll go! I haven't seen him before. I'll bring Lao Jiang over and ask."
After a moment, Jiang Mingyu's voice came out from the communicator: "Well, in my memory, there are only two things that look like this. One is called a 'rod ammonite' and the other is a 'rectangular stone'. They are both cephalopods."
Brachiopod Molluscs.”
"Cephalopod? That's just a squid, cuttlefish or something like that, but it seems to have a long shell." Ling Hao stretched out his hand to grab the little thing and bounced ballistically on its shell.
"Uh...the two animals I'm talking about are prehistoric creatures and became extinct during the Cretaceous period." Jiang Mingyu said hesitantly.
"What?" Ling Hao and Shi Si shouted at the same time. "Don't be ridiculous. Why don't you go online and search Xiaoducha? Are you trying to scare me to death by creating a prehistoric creature for me?" Ling Hao immediately lost his composure.
, I looked carefully at the little gadget in my hand, and couldn’t see anything special except that it looked cute and cute.
After a moment, Jiang Mingyu spoke again: "Based on its appearance, I checked it on the Internet, and now I can confirm that it is a prehistoric creature, 'Bad Ammonite', which is absolutely correct. But this kind of animal is in groups.
There must be more than one infested."
Ling Hao looked ahead in confusion and said: "No, please look at the screen. There are already more than a dozen in front of me now." I don't know when, these small animals appeared in groups, slowly swimming in the water.
The ground was swimming, and its two shiny black bean eyes were still turning around. "These are not the point. Why are there prehistoric creatures here?"
Jiang Mingyu said: "How do I know this? It feels like you are close to something extraordinary. My opinion is, why don't you retreat first."
"Nonsense, there are still two people we haven't found. The gas cylinders they brought should be less than half an hour's supply. If I withdraw now, they will be dead." Ling Hao said anxiously, while continuing to move forward.
Swim away.
After a while, a dark circular hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared in front of him. There was no road ahead. These "rod ammonites" must have swam in from this hole, and Professor Levins and him
The student must have gone out from the entrance of the cave. Looking at the deep sea water outside the cave, there was nothing but sea water within the reach of the light. Ling Hao's heart felt cold. Where could he find someone here?
At this moment, a light came on from outside the cave. Suddenly, a dazzling headlight appeared outside the cave entrance, followed by a black figure wearing a diving suit and crawling in, followed by a person.
, actually holding a fish over a foot long in his arms, the scene was extremely strange.
The two people waved at Ling Hao in a panic, as if asking him to leave quickly, and then they swam towards Ling Hao's path like their buttocks were on fire, as if something terrible was chasing them behind.
.
Thinking of this, Ling Hao didn't dare to be negligent. He stepped back and took off the gun from his back.
The water flow suddenly swelled, and a shark head as big as a basin poked in from the hole. In one sprint, it was in front of Ling Hao. "Da da da" the assault rifle suddenly opened fire, and three shots destroyed the nearly two-meter-long shark.
The shark fell over, and the two people who had escaped more than ten meters stopped when they heard the gunfire.
"Um...Ling Hao, this shark is not ordinary." Jiang Mingyu's voice sounded again in the communicator. "You saw that there are two long spines on the dorsal fin of this shark, right? In the history of history,
There is only one kind of shark that looks like this, and that is the famous "bow shark" in ancient times. This "bow shark", also known as the "bow shark", first appeared in the late Permian period and became extinct in the Cretaceous period, spanning the Triassic
During the three geological eras of the Era, Jurassic, and Cretaceous, it has endured several well-known mass extinctions and survived over a long period of more than 100 million years. It is one of the most successful species in history."
Ling Hao didn't reply at all. Now his head was a little dizzy. He took Professor Levins and the two of them and swam quickly towards the "Pippi Shrimp" because he saw the fish they brought, "
The mouth of "Di Baotian" is full of two-centimeter-long fangs, which looks very strange.
