With lightness and speed, Chen Hong darted through the school of fish and silently took six of the largest bluefin tuna into his space, cramming them into two large pools.
At this time, the bluefin tuna had not yet realized that their companions were missing. They were all diligently searching for seashells on the seabed, their bellies still empty.
Chen Hong turned around and swam back lightly, picking out the five fattest fish that were eating the most attentively and storing them in her spatial storage.
The fish had already lost half their numbers, which finally alerted them. They no longer cared about lunch and, after a shout, scattered in all directions in fright.
Having already caught eleven large bluefin tuna, Chen Hong was satisfied and no longer bothered to chase after them. Besides, with her swimming speed, she would never be able to catch them anyway.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After feeding each leatherback tortoise some space fruit, Chen Hong said goodbye to the leatherback tortoise family.
Back in the shallow waters, he found many seahorses. The coral reefs there were thriving, the water was calm, and there were many seabed microorganisms, making it an ideal environment for seahorses to live in.
In 2004, our country listed seahorses as a Class II protected animal, which means that they are not allowed to be caught or sold. Although the management is not so strict now, Chen Hong still does not want to cross the red line of her own country.
Seeing so many seahorses living here, Chen Hong remembered that a netizen with the username "Super Fierce Little Fierce Xu" once said in her previous life that raising seahorses was very profitable.
After pondering for several days, Chen Hong couldn't resist taking action when she saw seahorses from other countries. She collected all the seahorses within her sight, regardless of size, and put them back into her spatial pool.
If we raise and breed too many baby seahorses and can't sell them, we can release them into our own waters in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea. When their numbers become countless, the government's policies will definitely be relaxed.
It is said that seahorses are rare and expensive because they have great nutritional, health and medicinal value. Dried seahorses are a very expensive Chinese medicine, and the current market price is more than 10,000 yuan per kilogram.
This tiny seahorse can sell for around thirty yuan for a small one and eighty or ninety yuan for a large one. It's worth as much as a three- or four-pound sea bass. Keep in mind that even the largest one only weighs 25 grams, or half an ounce.
Chen Hong felt that it would be an absolute injustice if seahorses, with such high economic value, could not be bred in large numbers in our country's waters.
Moreover, seahorses are small creatures that cannot swim far on their own unless they are captured by humans. As long as the first batch can take root in our country's waters, their offspring will endlessly remain in our country and make contributions.
After storing several hundred seahorses in her spatial storage, Chen Hong finally felt relieved. After surveying the abundant resources on the seabed, she reluctantly returned to her spatial storage.
Seeing that the eleven bluefin tuna were alive and well in three large tanks, I was in a good mood and had dinner with Black Tiger.
After finishing her meal, Chen Hong didn't leave the space. Instead, she slept on the large bed in the fishing boat inside the space until 5 a.m.
After washing up and having breakfast, before dawn, I launched the fishing boat, left the space, and drove back. I'd been out for four days, and if I drove back now, I could get back to the village before dark.
This trip was incredibly fruitful, and they even developed new ways to use the space. Chen Hongzhi, feeling triumphant, crossed the East China Sea and returned to the Yellow Sea.
Having found the fishing spot where corals grew abundantly, Chen Hu released the small fish, shrimp, and crabs that had grown in the space back into the sea.
Hopefully, they will encounter as few predators as possible, grow up successfully, and enrich our marine resources. In the future, when our grandchildren grow up, we won't have to envy other countries' marine resources.
Chen Hong was just about to put the giant clam here when it gave her a surprise. Its round mouth sprayed a jet of water several meters high from the water it had drunk, startling Chen Hong.
What fell with a series of crackling sounds was not just water droplets, but also a dozen large pearls. The water droplets and pearls reflected the light, emitting a dazzling array of colors.
Chen Hong was completely dumbfounded. If Black Tiger hadn't excitedly grabbed her trouser leg and woken her up, she doesn't know how long she would have remained lost in thought.
Seeing the pearls sprayed on the grass and rolled to the bottom of the pool, Chen Hong was overjoyed and bubbling with happiness. She and Hei Hu quickly split up to pick them up.
Black Tiger picked up the pearls on the grass, while Chen Hong used a net to scoop them up one by one from the pool.
Finally, after collecting them all and counting them, there were fourteen in total. The largest one was the size of a fist and oval in shape, while the smallest one was the size of a longan and teardrop in shape.
There were also some irregularly shaped pearls. Chen Hong washed these pearls clean and held them one by one in her hands to admire them carefully. Her hands trembled with excitement.
These fourteen pearls filled almost half a basin, and each one was quite large! How many years must they have taken to grow to such a size?
These pearls have a porcelain-white luster, unlike regular pearls which refract iridescence. They are more like fired ancient Chinese porcelain, pure and warm.
Some resemble animal teeth, some look like a flattened human face, and some resemble irregularly shaped pagodas. Only six are regularly shaped, the largest being the roundest, with what appears to be fireworks blooming on it, its patterns exceptionally beautiful.
The remaining five were also of different sizes, some like duck eggs, some like chicken eggs, and some like pigeon eggs. The patterns on them were of different sizes, like different kinds of fireworks, and they were all very beautiful.
These look like eggs of different sizes laid by the giant clam. Perhaps during its long life, it saw a sea turtle laying eggs and deliberately imitated them when it was developing pearls!
