Chapter 1019 Black Pearl on
Under the seabed, there should be metal objects. I only surveyed it a few times with metal detection, and there was a reaction. I suggest "silting first, and then salvage the things below..."
Of course, Zhuang Rui knows best what's below, but now he can only speak according to the performance of the metal detector, and he can't even say that gold is under two meters.
"All right, let's have a short meeting and see how to do the dredging work..."
On the first day of the salvage, we will see the results. Director Wu is enthusiastic at this moment, and he has taken out the government's set. No matter what happens, it will be discussed at the meeting.
However, Director Wu obviously has a more urgent desire to work. As he said, this meeting was a short meeting. It only took about half an hour to determine the dredging plan and began to implement it.
Undersea dredging work is a major problem in current marine management. Because tides and tides will cause changes in silt, it is often a piece of mud in the place that has been treated a few days after cleaning.
And the sludge is caused by volcanic ash and various marine decaying substances. Some are soft and hard, and it is very troublesome to clean up, and sometimes it even needs to be blasting.
Of course, this scheme is impossible, and blasting will inevitably lead to further damage to the wreckage of the shipwreck. Fortunately, Zhuang Rui's "Xianrui" is equipped with a drilling platform and a floating cantilever with a length of up to 60 meters, which is also a great tool for controlling the silt under the sea.
Finally, it was discussed and decided to first explore the specific sea depth parameters, and then go deep into the seabed with a cantilever to dig up a layer of silt on the surface. Then the diver will go down to survey. If it is determined to be the remains of a sunken ship, it will be salvaged according to its volume.
In technical matters, Zhuang Rui can't get involved. Even Director Wu and Professor Meng, the data in the mouth of those technicians is like listening to the book of heaven.
Fortunately, Director Wu was also an enlightened leader who did not have anything to do with lay leaders and chatted with Zhuang Rui and Professor Meng.
"Zhuang Rui, are you all right? I just heard that you came up, but I came to you in a meeting"
When Zhuang Rui was chatting with Director Wu and others, Qin Xuanbing came in with a trace of sadness on her face. After seeing Zhuang Rui, her expression relaxed.
"What can I do?" Zhuang Rui smiled and hugged Qin Xuanbing's waist in front of outsiders. Qin Xuanbing was a little unaccustomed to it, but she had been worried about Zhuang Rui just now, but she did not refuse his behavior.
Seeing other people's young couple talking privately" Director Wu and Professor Meng withdrew from the small conference room with a winky look and left the space for them.
"You are so embarrassed in front of outsiders..." When Director Wu and Professor Meng went out, Qin Xuanbing pinched the soft meat on Zhuang Rui's waist.
"Old husband and wife, what's the shame..."
Zhuang Rui hugged Qin Xuanbing with a bad smile. Just as he was about to talk over, he suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and shouted to a corner of the room, "Clyde, look at me and pull out your beard later!"
"Oh, God, how does he know I'm living?" Clyde, who was in the five-story monitoring room, was staring at the picture at this moment. After a few seconds, he felt that he still didn't challenge the boss's bottom line and obediently turned off the monitor in the room.
"Let's go out. The two of us are here, and the outsiders don't know what to think..."
After all, Qin Xuanbing was a little thin-skinned. She broke away from Zhuang Rui's arms and opened the door. The slightly salty sea breeze blew into the [room], which was refreshing.
"At the way, my wife will clean up the silt under the sea later. Shall I bring you a whole two tons home? These are the most authentic undersea mud..." Zhuang Rui walked out and joked with Qin Xuanbing. He couldn't figure out why this woman's cosmetics were so expensive. As far as he knows, the undersea mud mask used by Qin Xuanbing is not much cheaper than gold.
"What do you know? The undersea mud suitable for women's skin must be red mud." And it should contain a certain proportion of carbonate and iron oxide. Why do you think you can use it?"
Qin Xuanbing glanced at Zhuang Rui angrily. When it comes to collecting antiques and jade, she doesn't know much as much as Zhuang Rui, but when it comes to cosmetics, Zhuang Rui learns from now on. I'm afraid that learning at the age of 60 is not as good as Qin Xuanbing's professional knowledge. This is a
"Cough Xuanbing, what?" I'll give you some things,"
Zhuang Rui coughed awkwardly and suddenly remembered the sea clam he brought to the sea. When he pulled it from the sea to the speedboat, if Zhuang Rui hadn't taken action, the two people on the speedboat would not have been fishing at all.
"What kind of reward?" Looking at what Zhuang Rui said, Qin Xuanbing was also a little curious. She knew that her husband had a lot of strange skills.
"No, it's right in front, and you'll see it in a moment..."
At this time, the two had already walked to the deck. They surrounded a circle of people more than ten meters in front of Zhuang Rui. Through the seams, Zhuang Rui could see that it was the sea clam that was surrounded.
"Hey, this is really a sea clam. Why did Mr. Zhuang touch this thing?"
"If you want to eat meat, let me tell you, the soup made from this sea clam meat can make you swallow your tongue..."
"Such a big one, I'm afraid it's two or three hundred catties? I guess I can eat it at night"
"Mr. Zhuang is here, let me..." When a circle of people were talking about the molt-sized sea clam, Zhuang Rui separated the crowd and came in. Although Qin Xuanbing grew up on Hong Kong Island and was no stranger to the sea, such a large sea clam still surprised her.
The general sea clam is not big. For example, the shell length of sea clams in coastal areas such as Fujian and Jiangsu is usually only 7n centimeters, and the taste is very delicious. Such a large sea clam is really rare.
"Honey, do you really want to eat the meat of this sea clam?"
Looking at the dark clam like a grinding disc, Qin Xuanbing frowned and then asked, "Is this what you said gave me?"
"That's right, but it's not this mussel, but the thing inside..." Zhuang Rui laughed. "The pearl in it is not small. Qin Xuanbing, as a jewelry designer, will definitely like it.
"You mean there are pearls in it? How do you know?" Qin Xuanbing reacted quickly and immediately thought of the pearl. "But then there was a question. Now it is difficult to find natural pearls except around some inaccessible desert islands. How can Zhuang Rui be sure that there are pearls in them?
"Ah... Er, well, when I first went down, the sea mussel was open. I looked at a place with a faint color in it, and I guess it was probably a pearl..." Zhuang Rui didn't expect to tell the words and hurriedly pulled it around. After finding a reason, Qin Xuanbing did not know the habit of the sea clam and nodded to acknowledge Zhuang Rui's explanation.
However, some old sailors around him curled their lips after listening to Zhuang Rui's words. Creatures such as seashells are the most **. If there is a wind blowing grass, they immediately close the shells. It's strange to see it.
An old man in his fifties, after Zhuang Rui said this, squatted down and looked carefully at the sea clam. After a few minutes, he stood up and said, "Let alone say, there are really pearls in this sea mussel..."
Before the old man's words fell, someone in the crowd tempted: "Lao Li, just brag. This is not an inland sea farm. How can there be so many natural pearls?" Now almost all the pearls that can be seen on the market are artificially farmed, so the price is not very high. It costs a few You can buy good pearl jewelry.
But in the top luxury consumer circle, all you play with are natural pearls. If it is the best natural pearls, the price is not much cheaper than diamond jade.
However, after decades of salvage, natural pearls have become rare, so the onlookers are a little disapproving of Lao Li's words.
Lao Li was tempted by everyone, and his face was a little embarrassed. He said loudly, "I didn't say that there must be, but look at the shell pattern of this sea mussel, it looks like a pearl. My Lao Li has opened a farm before, and I can see it more or less. This is not like our country's ..."
Lao Li once opened a pearl farm for a period of time, but later the price of pearls fell too much. He turned it down and started fishing again, but there is still some research on pearl shellfish.
"Black butterfly shell? That's a good thing?" Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard the words. Pearls are also a kind of jewelry antiques. Zhuang Rui also did a little research. He knew that there were only two main natural producing areas of black butterfly shellfish, both of which were in the south-central part of the Pacific Ocean, but he didn't know why this appeared in the domestic
The specialty of black butterfly shellfish is naturally black pearls, and the price of the best black pearls is "even far more than that of diamonds". For example, the more than 15-square-one pure round black pearls do not even have a ready-made reference market price, which shows that they are expensive and rare.
Basically, the natural black pearls produced every year are traded at auctions, and all that can be seen on the market are artificial imitations.
"This is picked up by Mr. Zhuang, let Mr. Zhuang deal with it..." "Yes... Yes, if there are pearls in it, it belongs to Mr. Zhuang..."
"Mr. Zhuang, open it and have a look. If there are pearls, it must be not small..."
After listening to Lao Li's words, everyone was a little unsure. It was normal for such a big sea mussel to have pearls in it, which would make Zhuang Rui's luck.
The cultural relics salvaged in the sea area of [Zhongzhong] are indeed owned by the state, but pearls are not cultural relics. If they are fished up, of course, they belong to Zhuang Rui, otherwise Zhuang Rui would rather stay at the bottom of the sea.
