Golden Fishing Village

Seeing the student in such a hurry, Ao Muyang thought that Zheng Songlin's unlucky child was in serious danger, so he immediately walked onto the deck and asked, "Professor Shen, what's going on?"

As soon as he got on the deck, he found that his guess was wrong. Zheng Songlin was not a big problem. At this moment, his arm had been pulled out of the clam, and three students were surrounding him, trying to take off his diving suit.

As soon as Ao Muyang appeared, a smile appeared on Shen Zhifu's face. He waved and said, "Come here, Director Ao, come over here and take a look at this giant clam. I know you are a famous chef. Come and see how to eat it properly?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Ao was shocked: "Eat? You want to eat this clam? This is a nationally protected species."

Shen Zhifu shrugged nonchalantly and said, "If it is alive, it certainly cannot be eaten. Isn't it dead? It would be a waste not to eat a dead clam."

Tridacna is indeed edible, and it was a rare delicacy in ancient times. As early as the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, celebrities began to eat Tridacna. At that time, people liked to eat seafood raw. Many of the rules of Japanese sashimi eating were inherited from the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. .

Tridacna has a well-developed adductor muscle. Its adductor muscle is most suitable for eating raw. It is delicious, free of parasites, and has high nutritional value.

In addition, the thick and powerful adductor muscle slices of Tridacna clams, after being dried in the sun, become a very valuable seafood called oyster tendons, which is in short supply and expensive in the international market.

But now the law stipulates that wild clams are not edible. According to Shen Zhifu, they are still giant clams. This kind of clams are even more rare. They live extremely long and can live longer than humans, but their numbers are very small. Now they are protected Species priority.

Shen Zhifu's words made Ao Muyang frown. He looked at the students around him, shook his head and said, "Professor Shen, according to the law, giant clams cannot be eaten or traded after they are accidentally caught in the water. They must be handed over to relevant national departments."

He doesn't want to eat this stuff. It's illegal. There are many people on the boat, and college students are very outspoken. He has already seen someone taking photos of giant clams. It is estimated that the students will send them to their friends when they get ashore. Circle to show off.

When the time came, someone asked where the clams had gone. The students revealed that Lao Ao had cooked them into dishes. Then he would no longer have to hold the post of captain of the maritime patrol team during the fishing ban period. He might even have to eat for a while. The prison of time.

Shen Zhifu was a little unwilling. He spread his hands and said: "We are staying in the open sea, how can we hand over the clams to the relevant departments? Besides, our scientific research team is the relevant department."

Ao Muyang pointed to the cockpit at the bow of the ship and said, "Can't we just use the satellite phone to notify the coast guard to take it away?"

Shen Zhifu laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Director Ao, you are really principled, and you are more aware than me, an old party member. But it would be a bit of a fuss for us to make a special trip just because a clam alarmed the coast guard." , Let’s chill it with ice first, and then return it to the dock after the scientific research work is completed and hand it over to the relevant departments.”

At this time, Zheng Songlin, who had just emerged from the deep diving suit, asked in fear: "Professor Shen, Brother Ao, I killed this giant clam. Will the country hold me accountable?"

Ao Muyang said: "Probably not. After all, you were caught by it, and you did it to save your life. It's understandable that it happened for a reason."

Zheng Songlin actually did not kill the clam to save his life, but naturally he would not take the initiative to admit it at this time.

On the contrary, he had to try his best to shirk responsibility, so he hugged his right arm with a painful look on his face and said: "My arm must be broken, Professor Shen, I'm really sorry, I can't help our scientific research team with the diving work. Could you please arrange a dive?" Can you take me to the hospital by speedboat?”

Shen Zhifu sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right now. Don't worry, Xiao Zheng. I've bought you full insurance. You don't have to spend a penny to go to the hospital. The insurance company will take care of it for you."

He went to arrange a speedboat to take Zheng Songlin ashore. Ao Muyang went to look in front of the clam. The clam had two huge and heavy white shells with several tile-like radial ribs on the surface. The growth chakras on it were very obvious. , forming curved and overlapping wrinkles on the surface of the shell.

The inside of the shell is also white, and it is a lustrous white. It seems that there is a layer of pearl glaze on the surface, and the sunlight shines on it, which creates an indescribable charm.

Naturally, there was shell meat between the two shells. Zheng Songlin was quick with his hands. The shell meat was almost cut in half with a sharp knife. The clam was already dead, but the pearl inside was gone.

So he went to Zheng Songlin and asked in a low voice: "Did you take away the oyster beads from the clam?"

The beads produced by clams are oyster beads. Their color is worse than that of pearls, but their value is not bad. They can be used for medicine. They are often used as raw materials for sedatives and eye drops in medicine. They are also being developed as beauty products.

Zheng Songlin shook his head hurriedly: "No, Brother Ao, my arm is broken. Now it hurts so much that I just want to die. How can I have time to get the pearl? Ah, the pearl is gone?"

Ao Muyang didn't trust him very much, so he looked at him suspiciously and said, "Xiao Lin, don't make any mistakes. These oyster beads are not very valuable. Don't get into trouble for him."

Zheng Songlin looked aggrieved: "No, Brother Ao, you are my savior. Can I lie to you? I really didn't touch them."

Yu Xinbo whispered: "Brother Ao, this really has nothing to do with Brother Lin. Professor Shen should have taken it away. Professor Shen was wandering around alone just now."

His words were very convincing, and Shen Zhifu then asked him to go with Zheng Songlin, saying that the agreement would be terminated early, but liquidated damages would be paid in accordance with regulations.

Ao Muyang asked in surprise: "Don't we need to come diving?"

Shen Zhifu winked at him, pulled him away and whispered: "These two people, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yu, are unreliable. You see, they just started working. One of them offended Lao Lu's group, and the other was directly injured and scrapped. Why should I keep them? Just keep yourself!"

Ao Muyang nodded silently. He went to see Zheng Songlin and Yu Xinbo off. When no one was paying attention, he said to them: "When you return to the shore, call this number. This is the mobile phone number of Captain Su of the Coast Guard. Tell him the location of the research team and let him bring people to come quietly. Be secretive and don't let others know about this."

He was grateful to the two people, and they nodded one after another: "Okay, Brother Ao, I will definitely help you get it done."

The speedboat went away, and Ao Muyang had to go into the water.

At this time, Heilong came up. He gave Heilong a tentative look, and Heilong nodded calmly, so he felt relieved. The guns and weapons of Lao Lu's group must have been dealt with.

After Zheng Songlin and the other two left, he took Heilong into the water.

The previous dive was a trial work, and this time they would officially start sampling.

They used a telescopic rod to take samples from around the hot spring. This telescopic rod was like a robot arm, with a control handle on one end and a small working platform on the other. Ao Muyang used the control handle to operate the platform and perform a series of tasks.

Because he and Heilong had strong diving skills, the work efficiency was very high, and soon many sampling and specimen capture tasks were completed.
