From The Island Owner To The King
From the Island Owner to the King: 5 Speartails

In many legends today, this sea region has concentrated the greatest and undiscovered pirate treasure.

According to expert speculation, there were many treasures sunk on the seabed with pirate ships sunk by the navy, or the loss of gold and silver due to internal conflicts between the pirates.

According to statistics, 45 out of every 100 gold and silver ships from the American colonies to Spain were sunk by pirates and storms.

Since Columbus got here for the third time across the Atlantic in 1498, there have been at least thousands of ships full of gold and silver jewels sunk by storms and pirates.

The Caribbean Sea is a place full of pirate treasures and shipwreck legends filled with riches of gold and silver.

Chen Rui locks underwater treasure hunting targets behind the Caribbean Sea.

What he needed to do next was narrow the scope of the treasure hunting target.

You know, the area of the Caribbean Sea is 2754,000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than a third of the land area of China. Average water depth of 2,500 meters. It makes no difference to find a shipwreck sunk by a storm and pirates from the Caribbean Sea. Need a haystack.

Therefore, Chen Rui wanted to narrow the scope of the treasure hunt to a certain area of over ten square kilometers.

Either the crowded routes by which Spanish gold and silver ships were transported at that time, or the places where pirates frequently came, or the location of the shipwrecks recorded in historical documents.

To this end, Chen Rui made a lot of careful preparations.

Within a month, I searched a lot of literature on the Internet, looking through a lot of books and materials related to the Spanish colonial era, such as navigation, treasures, pirates, and sunken ships, and finally asked some of the fishermen along the beach.

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

In this sea region, there were a large number of documented Spanish merchant ships, gold transport ships, and pirate ships sunk by storms or pirate plundering, forming a 'treasure cemetery' world famous underwater.

After half a month, a lot of careful preparation is done.

Chen Rui came to Belmudes, Cuba, and chartered a yacht to the sea.

Informative information from the previously reviewed literature concluded that the most likely place where the wreck was moored.

In the Spanish colonial era, at the site of tens of square kilometers, looters sank several merchant ships carrying gold, silver, spices and jewelry back to Spain.

Whether you are looking for information on the Internet or information only in phrases searched by the library, this is clearly mentioned.

After docking on the yacht, Chen Rui jumped into the water.

Chen Rui's strange movements were not surprising, because in this region of the sea, there were often diving enthusiasts.

After jumping into the sea, the water splits and the seawater separates automatically.

Soon after, Chen Rui dived to the seabed over 100 meters away.

The sea floor is rather dark, and the sea water is rather cold. But you can see the environment clearly.

You can see underwater beaches, coral reefs, swimming fish, and underwater creatures.

Chen Rui brought a metal detector with him.

Chen Rui started the search like a carpet on the seabed.

The most common underwater creatures are tuna, barracuda, lionfish, grouper, etc.

I searched for a long time, I searched hundreds of meters from the seabed near the carpet, and never saw the ghost of a shipwreck.

When Chen Rui wanted to rest for a moment, suddenly, he found a fish over 1.5 meters long and swam towards him.

The body of a goldfish has a long spindle shape, a thick body, a large head, a wide mouth, and sharp teeth.The body is covered with large and thin oval round scales.The exposed part of the scales has many scabs or small warts, and the surface is rough.

Chen Rui immediately appeared with a name in his mind, "Speartail".

Tadpoles are highly recognizable because their fin shape is similar to the trilobal shape of a spear, therefore their name is ‘speartail. ’

It's a big man, with a length of 2 meters and a weight of 90 kg.

It is also a ferocious predator, with squid, squid, and other deep-sea fish, and even a small shark in its recipe.

What makes it famous is that it is the oldest 'living fossil' in the ocean and is the only total living fin fish. All other groups of total fin fish have become extinct on earth.

This fish, which lived from the late Permian to the early Cretaceous Period, is thought to have been extinct as early as 70 million years ago.

However, in December 1938, the first one was caught in the deep sea near East London Island on the southeast coast of Africa. The mystery of catching spearfish attracted the attention of all layers of the world and led biologists to major debates on the traditional theory of biological evolution.

Cormorants caught a second wave in 1954 in the Comoros Islands in Africa.

In 1982, the Comoros government and the government donated valuable specimens of speartail fish to China, which are now housed in the Chinese Museum of Paleozoology.

In 1998, a surgeonfish was captured off the coast of Indonesia.

Almost every speartail catch can attract the attention of the world.

Chen Rui stood still, and as the speartail approached, Chen Rui suddenly launched and carried the large fish to the pregnant sea pearl.

Entering a sea of pregnant sea pearls, speartail fish become more energetic, appear very satisfied with the environment, and immediately begin to chase and precede the marine life that has just been included.

I caught a speartail fish that appreciated the anomaly, and Chen Rui quietly said, ‘I'm finally busy today. "

He would board the ship, leave a mark, and intend to search here for a long time.

The previously set search area is not small. It takes at least half a year to search for everything.

Seabed

Chen Rui held a metal detector and scanned the seabed.

I searched the seabed for more than half a month, and did not even see the shadow of the sinking ship.

Fortunately, Chen Rui caught another speartail. This spearfish is female, and the previously captured male spearfish, male and female, are only suitable as a pair, which is a very unexpected surprise.

According to the convention, Chen Rui collected all the seabed organisms found in pregnant sea pearls, complementing the ocean ecosystem in the pregnant sea pearl chamber, and make the marine system in the pregnant pearl sea space cyclically stable.

Coral reefs, planktonic algae, benthic algae and sea seed plants, various marine organisms, marine bacteria and marine fungi, and inorganic substances involved in the material cycle, such as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, etc, phosphorus, carbon dioxide, water, are all pregnant sea pearls.
