Sea-hunting: With the system in hand, my eyes are the ruler

Chapter 1109

Xin Gaoyang took out a bottle of mineral water and poured the mineral water over the amber.

This time the contents were much clearer, though not crystal clear.

But you can already see the thick, curved tentacles, the large eyes, the flat body that resembles a slipper prawn, but is not a slipper prawn. There are also two very long needles on the tail.

This glance immediately frightened Zhang Haidai and Cai Chengyan, who had not been able to see clearly.

Even Lai Zhuang shrank back in fear.

Jiang Han walked over and hugged Lai Zhuang, "It's okay, Brother Lai Zhuang. The thing inside is dead and won't come out. The stone froze it."

Jiang Han spoke while gently stroking Lai Zhuang's back.

With Jiang Han's calm comfort, Lai Zhuang's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Brother Jiang Han, are you really, really, okay?"

"Yeah, it'll be alright. I'm always here."

Lai Zhuang took several deep breaths and finally dared to look at the stone in front of him.

Xin Gaoyang looked at Jiang Han, "If you want to see it more clearly, you need to polish it." Fortunately, he also brought a small polishing machine, although it was still on the boat.

"There's no rush to dissect it, let's do it first. Can you finish it before 9:30 pm?"

"more or less."

"Okay, cut it today. Polish it tomorrow."

"it is good."

Several people had lunch late, and now it was getting dark, so they had no plans to have dinner.

I decided to wait for Xin Gaoyang to finish cutting the stones here before having dinner.

Jiang Han looked at Zhang Haidai and said, "You and Brother Lai Zhuang should go to the boat and cook first."

Zhang Haidai nodded. There was no point for him and Lai Zhuang to stay here. Xin Gaoyang had been busy since they arrived on the island. It was impossible for him to rest and then have to cook dinner.

"Okay, Brother Lai Zhuang and I will go to the boat first." After he finishes preparing dinner, Brother Han, Xin Gaoyang and the others can eat.

Jiang Han looked at Cai Chengyan, "Do you want to go on the boat together?"

"I don't want to. I want to stay here."

Although Cai Chengyan didn't quite understand this, with his keen sense, he felt that this must be an epic moment of witnessing a miracle.

At such an important time, let him watch Zhang Haidai cook?

What are you thinking?

"Okay, it's dark now. Don't wander around."

Cai Chengyan is the financial backer and doesn't take Jiang Han's share, so it's impossible for Jiang Han to order Cai Chengyan to do anything.

Cai Chengyan and Jiang Han stood beside the stone and watched Xin Gaoyang cut the stone.

Compared to other gemstones and minerals, amber has a much lower hardness, equivalent to the hardness of human fingernails.

So Xin Gaoyang's cutting machine cut smoothly with each cut.

The stone was too big, and the portable cutting machine Xin Gaoyang brought was too small, so it was slow to cut.

From the perspective of practice makes perfect, Xin Gaoyang can be considered a novice when it comes to cutting stones. Novices are also associated with slowness.

Fortunately, he had a good understanding, and the quality of his cuts was as good as those made by the master. Jiang Han suspected that he gained this experience from cutting vegetables.

Therefore, there are many benefits for men to cook more.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the entire stone was cut except for the bottom layer.

Jiang Han felt that this form was already good, so he didn't plan to cut the bottom layer.

Xin Gaoyang's suggestion was the same: "Don't cut the bottom layer, you can put it on the ground as a decoration."

Xin Gaoyang watered the newly cut amber from top to bottom again.

This time I saw it more completely.

Even some of the hard-shelled belly of the creature inside could be seen.

Even after adapting for so long, Xin Gaoyang still felt a little nervous.

"What on earth is this thing?" Xin Gaoyang thought about everything in his mind, but he had never seen anything like this.

Cai Chengyan took a closer look, and just looking at the pair of curved tentacles with long hair on one side, he took two steps back in fear.

"Why is there something like this inside a gem?"

"This is insect amber, which means there are insects trapped inside amber." Jiang Han repeated what Xin Gaoyang told him.

Jiang Han suddenly thought of something. "This thing's body is a bit like a mantis shrimp. Do you think it could be from the sea?"

"Impossible." Cai Chengyan denied it directly.

"Insect amber is formed when resin flows out and catches passing insects. After tens of millions of years or even longer, it gradually petrifies into insect-containing amber. Trees don't grow in the sea, so how could they catch marine life?"

Jiang Han felt something was wrong. "According to what you said, insect amber only sticks to small insects or small animals, and it can't stick to creatures two meters long. But now this thing is inside the amber."

Xin Gaoyang was choked, it seemed like this was the case.

Theoretically, it is impossible for a two-meter-long creature to be stuck to the resin, unless the creature is already dead or half-dead when the resin sticks to it.

Xin Gaoyang looked at it carefully again and found that this thing really had some characteristics of marine life.

Cai Chengyan found his point. "Are you saying that the things in here are tens of millions of years old, or even longer?"

"Correct."

"I've never seen such a thing in my life." Cai Chengyan rubbed his hands. He didn't expect that he could see ancient creatures again.

Because it was not polished, Xin Gaoyang and Cai Chengyan could not see the specific details clearly.

Jiang Han checked the time and said, "Let's go back first. We'll talk about it after we finish polishing it tomorrow."

Xin Gaoyang was stunned for a moment. "Are you saying that you want to leave this piece of insect amber here?"

"What else? Are we supposed to carry such a big rock onto the boat?"

Xin Gaoyang thought about it seriously. "It's not impossible. Don't be fooled by the size of this piece of amber. It's actually not that heavy. Amber is much lighter than ordinary stone. For the same volume, ordinary stone weighs 2 to 3 times as much as amber."

Xin Gaoyang felt that if a few people worked hard, they could still move the stone.

"No matter what's inside, judging by its size, this piece of amber is a priceless treasure."
