2 Coelacanth

According to experts, there are many treasures or pirate s.h.i.+ps that have been sunk by the Navy to sink into the seabed, or because of the guilty piracy, the loss of gold and silver property.

According to statistics, 45 out of every 100 gold and silver vessels s.h.i.+pped from the American colonies to Spain were sunk by pirates and storms.

Since Columbus arrived here for the third time across the Atlantic in 1498, there have been at least thousands of s.h.i.+ps full of gold and silver jewels sunk by storms and pirates.

The Caribbean Sea is a place full of pirate treasures and legends full of gold and silver wealth.

Chen Rui locked the goal of the underwater treasure hunt in the Caribbean waters.

What he needs to do next is to narrow the scope of the treasure hunt.

You know, the area of ​​the Caribbean Sea is 2,754,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to more than one-third of China's land area. The average water depth is 2,500 meters. It is no different from the Caribbean to find a s.h.i.+pwrecked by storms and pirates. Needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Chen Rui wants to narrow the scope of treasure hunt and narrow it to a certain area of ​​more than a dozen square kilometers.

Or the prosperous route that the Spanish transported the gold and silver treasure s.h.i.+p, or the place where the pirates often haunted, or the s.h.i.+pwreck location recorded in the historical literature.

To this end, Chen Rui has done a lot of careful preparation.

Within a month, I found a large amount of literature on the Internet, and in the local library, I read a lot of books about the Spanish colonial era related to navigation, treasures, pirates, s.h.i.+pwrecks, etc., and finally asked some fishermen from the coastal areas.

In the end, Chen Rui narrowed his target to a sea area southeast of Belmudes in Cuba.

In this sea area, a large number of Spanish merchant s.h.i.+ps, gold s.h.i.+ps and pirate s.h.i.+ps have been doc.u.mented by storms or looting pirates, forming a world-famous underwater treasure 'jewel cemetery'.

After half a month, I made a lot of careful preparations.

Chen Rui came to Belmodes in Cuba and rented a yacht to sail to the sea.

The information on the clues of the literature that was previously read reveals that the place most likely to have a s.h.i.+pwreck is moored.

In the Spanish colonial era, in this position, a few dozen square kilometers, the pirate pirates sank a few merchant s.h.i.+ps that transported gold and silver, spices and jewelry back to Spain.

This is clearly mentioned in the information found on the Internet or in the words in the library.

After the yacht was parked, Chen Rui jumped into the water.

Such a weird move by Chen Rui is not surprising, because in this sea area, there are often such diving enthusiasts.

After jumping into the sea, the water is divided and the seawater is automatically separated.

Soon, Chen Rui dive to the bottom of the sea more than 100 meters deep.

The sea floor is a bit dark and the sea is a bit cold. However, the line of sight can also see the surrounding environment.

You can see underwater beaches, reefs and fish, sea creatures.

Chen Rui carried a metal detector with him.

Chen Rui began a search for carpets on the sea floor.

During the search process, Chen Rui also did not forget to add all the underwater creatures that can be seen on the seabed in the Eternal Sea Pearl.

Add the biological species of the sea of Eternal Sea Pearl.

The most common seabed organisms are tuna, barracuda, lionfish, and stonefish.

Searched for a long time, the carpet-like search for a few hundred meters near the bottom of the sea, the ghost of the s.h.i.+pwreck did not see.

Just as Chen Rui wanted to go to rest for a while, suddenly, he found a fish with a body length of more than 1.5 meters to swim over to him.

The fish body has a long shape, a thick body, a large head, a wide mouth, and sharp teeth. The body is covered with a large and thin elliptical round scale, and the scales are exposed with many small moles or condyles, and the surface is rough.

Chen Rui almost immediately appeared in his mind a name, 'spear fish'.

Very well recognized, because its tail fin shape is similar to the spear-shaped trefoil, hence the name 'Coelacanth '

This is a big guy, the length can reach 2 meters, the weight can reach 90 pounds.

It is also a ferocious predator, with squid, squid, and other deep-sea fish and even tiny sharks on its recipes.

What makes it famous is that it is the oldest 'living fossil' in the ocean, the only living finfish, and all other groups of finfish have been extinct on Earth.

This kind of fish that lived in the late Permian to early Cretaceous was once thought to have been extinct as early as 70 million years ago.

However, in December 1938, the first article was captured in the deep sea near East London Island on the southeast coast of Africa. The disappearance of the capture of the Coelacanth once caught the attention of all walks of life around the world, sparking biologists into the big debate on traditional biological evolution theory.

Captured the second Coelacanth in 1954, in the African Comoros.

In 1982, the Comoros government and government presented a precious spearfish inundation specimen to China, which is now preserved in the Chinese Ancient Animal Museum.

In 1998, a Coelacanth was caught in the waters near Indonesia.

Almost every capture of Coelacanth can attract worldwide attention.

Chen Rui stood still and did not move. When the Coelacanth approached, Chen Rui suddenly launched and collected the big fish into the Eternal Sea Pearl.

The fish entered the sea of ​​Eternal Sea Pearls and immediately became more spiritual. It seemed to be extremely satisfied with the environment and immediately began to chase the marine life just put in.

After catching an irritating Coelacanth, Chen Rui secretly said, 'Today, I am not busy. "

He is going to board the s.h.i.+p, leaving a mark, intending to look for it here for a long time.

The search range defined before is not small. It takes at least half a year to search all of it.

Under the sea, Chen Rui holds a metal detector in the sweep, looking at the bottom of the sea.

Searching for more than half a month on the bottom of the sea, even the shadow of the s.h.i.+pwreck did not see, harvesting zero.

Fortunately, Chen Rui caught a Coelacanth again. This Coelacanth is female, and with the captured before a male spearfish, a male and a female, just paired together, is a very unexpected surprise.

According to the convention, Chen Rui collects all the discovered underwater creatures into the Eternal Sea Pearls, supplementing the ocean of the Eternal Sea Pearls s.p.a.ce. The ecosystem of the maritime system in the gestational sea pearl s.p.a.ce tends to be cyclically stable.

Coral reefs, phytoplankton, algae and marine seed plants, various marine life, marine bacteria and marine fungi, and involved in material circulation. Inorganic substances, such as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, carbon dioxide, and water, const.i.tute the marine ecosystem of the entire Eternal Sea Pearl s.p.a.ce.
