Galactic Garbage Station

Su Zheng picked up a huge shell and looked back and forth. It is about 25 cm long and about 5 kg. It can only be reached by two hands. The shell is strong and appears to be disc-shaped, the left shell is raised slightly, the right shell is flat, the front ear is raised slightly, and the posterior auricular process disappears into a round blunt shape. The shell surface is tan, the top shell scales are tight, and the posterior edge scales of the shell are significantly free.

“It looks like a white butterfly.” Su Zheng's eyes are brighter and brighter. White butterfly shells, also known as mother pearls and white nut pearls, belong to the twin shells of tropical and subtropical seas. In China, they are a unique species of pearl shells in the South China Sea. Its pearl reserves account for about 90 per cent of the total reserves of all kinds of pearl shells in all HAN provinces. It produces large pearl particles, good colors and high prices. It is a precious ornament and medicinal material. It is very popular in the international pearl market and has great economic value.

However, because of their small number and high value, they are classified as State Class II protected animals and are prohibited from capture.

“Tiger, where did you find this white butterfly?” Su Qiang asked that he did not want to break the white butterfly shell to see if there were pearls in it, because he did not want to kill it, after all, it was the National Class II animal protection. I heard that some people are smart enough to open the shell and take out the pearls, and the shell can still survive, but that technique is undoubtedly as difficult as surgery. Su Zheng thinks he doesn't have that level. Moreover, there is a great chance that wild shells will bear pearls, and there is no more than one percent chance that this shell will contain pearls.

“Over there.” The tiger whale turned to the sea and shouted.

“Take me.” Su Zheng took a net bag and a submersible mirror and jumped onto the back of the tiger whale. The tiger whale drove Su Zheng through the waves for about twenty minutes, away from the coast of Sujiacun Village, close to an uninhabited island. There are many small islands in this area that have not been exploited.

Around 300 meters from the deserted island, the tiger whale screamed a reminder to Su Qian, and then burst into the sea, diving rapidly, even with Su Qian's physical qualities, quickly felt chest compression, unusually uncomfortable. People are not fish, and it is difficult to withstand rapid changes in water pressure.

“Slow down.” Su Jun snapped the tiger whale and squeezed out two words in an exhaled manner. Tiger whales are slowing down, slowing down, 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters… Usually 10 meters per person has already experienced eardrum tingling, difficulty breathing, and some professional divers can dive 15 meters, or even 20 meters. The limit of diving is the limit of human resistance to water pressure and the limit of physiological function in the body.

In January 2000, Francisco Ferrera, a Cuban, set a record 162 metres of freediving in the Gulf of Mexico, without carrying an air bottle and only by regulating his breathing breath through his own lung viability.

Su Zheng's current physical qualities are definitely far beyond ordinary people, so he slowly dived into the twenty meters. He still doesn't feel much, until he reached the bottom of the sea about fifty meters deep. He also felt just a little uncomfortable, and there was no obstacle.

Su Zheng looked at the bottom of the ocean through a submersible mirror and found that it was a rocky reef gravel geology with a small number of benthic plants, many white butterflies, some crawling, some dead, lying quietly on the bottom of the ocean.

Su Zheng commanded the tiger whale to move closer to the bottom of the sea. Turning over a huge white butterfly shell in front, it was empty. After turning several times, he finally saw a pearl with a diameter of about 10 mm lying inside. Unfortunately, the naked eye could see that it was not very round and of the same color.

Su Zheng continued to look for it. If he couldn't hold his breath, he breathed on the surface of Shanghai. Then he came down and found one pearl after another. Among them, the quality was good or bad. Some of them should be worth thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

“Wow, so big.” Su Zheng suddenly saw a shell more than 30 centimetres long, allowing the tiger whale to swim with him. He turned his eyes open and glanced at the boss. There was a white pearl lying inside, more than 15 mm, and it was very round, full of shine, and he didn't see a flaw. Though Su Su Zheng didn't know much about it, he could also see that the pearl was definitely not of low value.

Su Zheng searched again for a while. He searched almost all the nearby white butterfly shells and found 50 or 60 pearls. In addition to that perfect one, there are a dozen other pieces of poor quality, the others are very ordinary.

“Go, take a look around. ”

Su Zheng did not go back immediately, let the tiger whale carry it, travel under the sea, through the submersible mirror to see the view of the seabed. Although he was by the sea, he did not dive so deeply. This is the first time he was free to play in the deep sea like this.

Su Zheng can see all kinds of corals, seagrass, fish, shellfish, crabs at the bottom of the sea. The undersea world can definitely be described by light and land, a thousand strange things. At one time, Su Zheng accidentally touched a bunch of corals. I didn't expect the coral to move suddenly, then a black ink sprayed out, turns out to be an octopus disguise.

Su Zheng encountered strange shells, blood corals and other things and put them in a net bag. This time, he didn't want to sell them, after all, it wasn't worth much, but wanted to take them back to his home collection.

Su Zheng still thought that there were many ancient wrecks at the bottom of the sea. If he could find one, filled with ceramic, gold and silver jewellery and so on, he would make a fortune, but unfortunately none of the wreckage was found.

“Hmm? Could that fish be...”

Su Xiao suddenly noticed a fish, kind of like some kind of noble fish. Unfortunately, before he could see it, he saw it go into the coral reef.

Su Zheng commanded the tiger whale to swim quickly and squeezed into a coral. The fish continued to hide, but Su Zheng clearly saw this time. It was indeed a frown fish. It had a raised forehead, like a hat worn by Napoleon, so it was called "Napoleon”.

Sawdust is the largest and longest-lived species of coral fish in the family of bulbous fishes and generally survives for more than 30 years. It has long been traded as an economic fish, with fresh flesh and well-known delicacies, but because of its small quantity and high price, a kilogram of sawdust can be sold for $200 and a plate of lips for $300.

Studies in most regions, however, show that the size of the sawfish stock is precisely due to the gradual decline in commercial trade, which was once as high as 90 per cent. Many juvenile fish are caught before they reach reproductive age, resulting in fewer and fewer adult fish to reproduce, and misconduct in the fishing process threatens not only the survival of species but also fragile coral reef ecosystems.

Sauerkraut was listed as an endangered species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red Paper in 2004, and at the 13th CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Congress in October 2004, Sauerkraut was (listed in CITES Appendix II) under strict protection of the CITES Convention.

“Hey, another endangered species. ”

Su Zheng still won't break the law because of the profit, but you can always watch Sumei fish. Many people know that Sumei fish is delicious, but they forget that Sumei itself is also an ornamental fish.

Sulu controlled the passage of tiger whales around the coral reef, because the tiger whales were so big that they could only pick out large spaces. In succession, four or five sawdust were found in the coral reef, varying in size, a few kilograms small and a dozen or twenty kilograms large.

“Shit, that one is also a frown fish? ”

Su Jun suddenly saw a huge figure with his eyes wide open and commanded the tiger whale to swim quickly.
