space fisherman

The sun rises in the east, the sky is cloudless, and another day begins.

Ye Yuan's fishing boat sailed on the sea, and with the sound of waves lapping at the fishing boat, the "Water Control" was sailing in the high seas that Ye Yuan had always missed.

Last time, we were only a few hours away from here, so we didn’t come due to some reasons.

In international law, the high seas refers to the part of the ocean outside the internal waters, territorial waters, archipelago waters and exclusive economic zones of each country that is not subject to the jurisdiction and control of any country's sovereignty.

According to the 1958 Convention on the High Seas, the high seas are all sea areas excluding national territorial waters or internal waters. With the advancement of marine technology and human development of marine resources, the jurisdiction of coastal states has expanded, giving rise to exclusive economic zones and archipelagic waters.

Other new concepts and systems have reduced the area of ​​the high seas.

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that the high seas refers to all sea areas not included in a country’s exclusive economic zone, territorial sea or internal waters, or within the archipelagic waters of an archipelago state.

The high seas are for equal common use by all countries. It is not an integral part of any country's territory and is therefore not under the sovereignty of any country. No country may appropriate any part of the high seas as its own or exercise jurisdiction over the high seas itself.

The high seas is a sea area shared by all countries, and it is also the place where fishing boats have the most disputes with each other. After all, there are coast guard management in the seas of the country, and there are not so many restrictions on the high seas.

The fishing boat sailed smoothly on the high seas. Ye Yuan let go of his perception. There were obviously more fish in the sea than in domestic waters.

The fishing boat traveled for a while, and it was already close to the waters of Country R. During this period, Ye Yuan also saw several fishing boats of Country R, ​​carrying out salvage operations.

At this moment, the second brother stretched out and yawned and walked out of the cabin. He was really tired yesterday and had slept until almost noon.

"I say Fourth Brother, don't do that next time. My bones really can't bear it. My whole body still hurts when I wake up." He yawned and looked at Dahai and Ye Yuan.

"Your health is much worse than when you were in school. At that time, you didn't even cry out that you were tired in two consecutive games of basketball. It has only been more than a year since you graduated. Why are you like this? Remember the old saying, wine is poison that penetrates the intestines.

Sex is a bone-scraping steel knife, you’ve got it all, right?”

Ye Yuan did not let the second child off, and directly told the second child what he had done best this year.

The second child simply rolled his eyes and did not continue the topic.

Ye Yuan was too lazy to talk to this guy and let him move around freely on the ship. After finally coming to the high seas, he wanted to go to the sea to have a look.

The second child just lay down on the rocking chair, closed his eyes and basked in the sun. It was like saying: "Do whatever you like. Anyway, I am just resting today."

When he came to the sea, Ye Yuan went straight downstream. The seabed here was a large coral group. There were many kinds of fish in the coral group. Some small fish were chased and got into some reef holes.

When we reached the bottom, the light here was already very weak, and we swam out in one direction of the coral group on the seabed.

I don’t know how far I swam, but suddenly I saw a piece of wood with a diameter of 1 meter buried under the sea sand, with a small section slightly exposed. If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Yuan was walking along the bottom of the sea at a very low position, it would not have been easily discovered.

.

Ye Yuan simply peeled away the sea sand and found that there was still a deep section inside, which he couldn't get out at all.

He observed carefully for a while, but due to the light, he couldn't see very clearly. The wood was completely dark. He pinched it hard, and it was very hard. It felt like he had pinched a stone. Ye Yuan couldn't help but think of a kind of wood that he often saw in books.

The treasured item is the gloomy wood.

The formation time of sunken wood mostly ranges from 2800 to 8000 years, which is not enough to become a plant fossil. Likewise, it is not a mineral.

The dark wood is just a general term. It is formed by nanmu, red toon, hemp willow, ironwood and other trees that were buried in the mud due to natural disasters and underwent a carbonization process that lasted thousands of years under conditions of lack of oxygen and high pressure.

Due to different tree species, the market value is also different. The golden nanmu of the genus Phoebe is the most expensive. The older it is, the better it is preserved, and the higher the price.

If this is dark wood, then you are really in luck. This thing is not measured by rarity. Many precious dark trees require tens of thousands of years of history to form.

Because this gloomy log was so big, I couldn't get it out at all, so I had to go up and use a fishing boat to help.

Back on the boat, Ye Yuan first let the fishing boat drive to the designated coordinates, then took a shovel and a very long rope and took two crew members into the water. One end of the rope was already fixed on the crane.

Several people came to the place where the dark wood had just been discovered. They first used shovels to remove a large amount of sea sand around them, and then fixed the rope to one end of the dark wood.

A crew member surfaced to inform the ship to start the crane.

As the crane started to move, the gloomy wood was lifted upward little by little. Ye Yuan and the others continued to remove the surrounding sea sand to reduce resistance.

After thirty minutes of busy work, a 15-meter-long gloomy log was lifted onto the fishing boat by a crane.

Ye Yuan asked Ding Er to videotape the whole process. If someone really discovered it in the future, he could explain that this thing was salvaged on the high seas to avoid many unnecessary things.

"I'm talking to you, Fourth Brother. Are you going to get a piece of wood from the bottom of the sea? Is it necessary?" He walked over and kicked the "wood".

"Ouch~! Is this a stone? Why is it so hard?" The second child rubbed his already numb feet with one hand.

"Wood? I mean, second brother, you can be considered a rich man. Don't you even know Yin Chenmu?" Ye Yuan glanced over there angrily, sitting on the deck, still rubbing his feet.

Second child.

"You said this thing is the gloomy wood? What kind of tree is it?" The second child ignored Ye Yuan's ridicule, but became concerned about the species.

"I don't know. It's too dark down there and I can't see clearly. Don't you plan to take a look at it after you get it up? I'm not very familiar with things like trees. I need to check the information."

Ye Yuan really doesn't know what kind of wood this is from the dark wood.

When the second brother heard about it, he immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to take pictures. Ye Yuan quickly stopped him.

"No, this thing is very sensitive. I don't intend to sell it, and I don't intend to let anyone know about it."

"What are you afraid of? This was found on the high seas, not in our country. Doesn't anyone who finds anything on the high seas own it?"

The second child looked at Ye Yuan in confusion.

"Trouble, I have no intention of selling it. Wouldn't it be nice to keep such a good thing for myself?" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Lao Er in annoyance.

He directly ordered Ding Yi and others to sail the boat and pulled Ding Er directly to his cabin.

"If you start learning sculpture now, how long will it take for you to reach the level of a master?"

Ding Er thought about it, it would take about a week, and it would be best to have some training materials.

"No problem, you go study now. We'll discuss the materials when we get ashore."

After Ding Er went out, Ye Yuan began to look through the information to see which tree species this gloomy tree belonged to.

After reading a lot of information and comparing it with this gloomy wood, I finally determined that this gloomy wood turned out to be the most precious golden nanmu.

Not to mention the gloomy wood, even such a large golden nanmu is worth a lot of money.

This kind of accident made Ye Yuan feel like he was unlucky. If it weren't for the lack of luck in the system, he would have thought that he was really lucky.
