"Haha, Brother Sun, we found another sunken ship." Chen Yi was also full of excitement and said with a smile towards Sun Hongzhi.
Sun Hongzhi's face was full of smiles and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, boss, we have found another sunken ship. In less than a month, we have found two sunken ships. It is really a gratifying thing."
Next, the entire cruise ship will continue to follow the previous process, first dispatching underwater robots and divers to explore the seabed.
Chen Yi really couldn't wait to salvage this Spanish ship and see how much valuable wealth was inside. Many years ago, Portugal invaded China and occupied Macau. Now, he encountered this Portuguese ship that plundered wealth. , naturally you won’t be polite.
This ship is on the high seas. Whoever discovers it and salvages it will be his wealth, and the country where the shipwreck belongs will not be able to cause trouble. I believe this Portuguese ship will cause a sensation.
After detection, it was found that the ship was about 40 meters long, which can be said to be a medium-sized ship. Moreover, judging from the images sent by the underwater robot, the ship did not look like a Chinese ship at all.
"Boss, why does this ship look a little strange?" Sun Hongzhi couldn't help but pointed at the image and asked Chen Yi.
Chen Yi looked at the image and couldn't help but smile, "Because it is not a Chinese ship. According to my guess, it should be a foreign merchant ship. Only by looking at the era of the cultural relics on it can we know what country it is."
At this time, a diver seemed to have discovered something and pointed the underwater robot's camera lens at a certain location on the seabed. Suddenly. Under the illumination of light. They saw a box dug out of the mud, and inside the box were pieces of yellow objects. However, due to being soaked in water on the seabed for a long time, they were oxidized and lost their original luster.
"Here, boss, is this gold?" Sun Hongzhi saw what was in the box. Some said in disbelief that apart from some jewelry, the Qing Dynasty shipwrecks salvaged between them did not contain any pieces of gold at all.
Objects such as jewelry are far less dazzling than gold. It is like a pile of pearl necklaces and a pile of gold bars in front of you. It is clear to everyone which one is more attractive.
"It should be gold. It has been oxidized because it has been on the seabed for too long. So there is no luster, Brother Sun. We may have really found a treasure. Instruct the divers to first check the seabed around the sunken ship and scatter these on the seabed. After salvaging the entire ship, I will give everyone a bonus.”
Seeing these dull golds, Chen Yi also showed excitement on his face. Although he had appraised gold bars before, it was just an appraisal, and it was far less astonishing than the gold bars displayed in front of him.
"Okay, boss." Sun Hongzhi also nodded heavily. No matter how well he did on other ships before, no one gave him a bonus, but now, he has met a good boss.
Subsequently, several divers continued to search the seabed around the sunken ship and found boxes buried in the mud one by one. Afterwards, they were wrapped in net bags, then fixed to cables, and fished out of the sea by floating cranes.
The first box was successfully fished out, and it was the cracked box. After the box was pulled to the deck, pieces of gold bars were scattered from the gaps in the box. Some were dull, and some were There is a little golden glow in the sun.
"Boss, it's really gold bars. What kind of ship is this? It actually contains gold bars." Seeing these golden objects, Sun Hongzhi couldn't help but said with excitement.
"Judging from the words on the gold bars, this should be from Southeast Asia. I think this should be the wealth plundered by the colonists." Looking at some of the text symbols engraved on the gold bars, Chen Yi said seriously, and these The gold bars were clearly identified by him as gold bars produced in Southeast Asia.
The soldiers on the side looked at these gold bars with a happy smile on their faces. This kind of joy was not the kind of smile that wanted to possess, but was happy for Chen Yi from the bottom of their hearts.
The second box was also fished out quickly. Unlike the previous gold bars, this one contained a box of porcelain. After Chen Yi's appraisal, it was a box of fine porcelain from folk kilns in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. There were thirty pieces in the whole box. , but the value reached more than three million.
After a day, they finally searched the seabed near the sunken ship and completely salvaged the boxes and some items scattered on the seabed. Tomorrow, they will salvage the sunken ship.
And this kind of salvage is still an overall salvage. With the capabilities and equipment of their cruise ship, this Ming Dynasty shipwreck is much larger than the previous Qing Dynasty shipwreck.A few, but it is definitely possible to salvage it as a whole.
After discovering this large amount of gold and silver jewelry, Chen Yi also sent more swordfish to patrol the area to prevent the appearance of some people with evil intentions. After all, this was not an ordinary sunken ship, but it contained huge treasures. of shipwreck.
This ship has been buried for a longer time and has sunk deeper into the mud. Therefore, it will take a day to clean up the mud and it will not be possible to salvage it until the day after tomorrow.
A total of nine boxes and some items were found scattered around the sunken ship. Among these boxes, three boxes were porcelain, two boxes contained gold bars, and the other box contained some jewelry. It seemed It makes people excited. As for the remaining boxes, some are copper coins and some are cotton cloth.
Looking at the soldiers around him, their psychological activities could be clearly seen in front of Chen Yi. He was very glad that he asked Yue Tianhao to help recruit these soldiers. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary crew member and saw these gold and silver jewelry, there would be no guarantee that they would not have other things. thoughts.
The first day was spent salvaging scattered items. Being able to salvage the ship, Chen Yi felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. This was not brought by money, but by salvaging the ship. Moreover, this The ship is still a Portuguese shipwreck.
On the second day, divers began dredging some parts of the hull to facilitate subsequent salvage work.
They are now on the high seas at the entrance of the Strait of Malacca, so they can encounter twenty or thirty ships a day. They pay great attention to their luxury cruise ship and these ships.
There was also a lot of information transmitted by the swordfish. Chen Yi needed to filter it to get some useful information. Several of the swordfish said that there was a small boat a few nautical miles away from them. Stopped there, and seemed to be looking this way with a telescope.
This piece of information made Chen Yi take it seriously and told these swordfish that if they came again next time, he would send a few fish to follow them.
If his prediction was correct, these should be real pirates, different from the fake ones dressed up by the Philippines. However, no matter whether they are real pirates or not, they can't stop his salvage progress, and they can't take advantage of him. .
If they are wise, they may be able to let them go. If they seek death, no one can save them.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of this day, they sent a small boat to observe again, and several of the swordfish were sent to follow them. After an hour or two, they returned here and told them what they had observed. Got Chen Yi.
On a small island with many people, Chen Yi smiled, there was no doubt that these were pirates. Their second investigation should be about to start.
At night, Chen Yi became more vigilant and surrounded the cruise ship with many schools of fish, closely protecting the cruise ship. At a distance of about ten nautical miles, there were also many swordfish exploring the situation.
Chen Yi spent that night on the deck of the cruise ship, supported by Tai Chi health-preserving exercise. He did not feel the slightest cold, but no pirates came to attack, which made him a little disappointed. He really hoped These pirates attacked at night, and at that time, they sank without anyone noticing.
The night gradually receded, and the first ray of light rose from the sea level. Chen Yi was on the deck, facing the east, looking at this ray of light, and practiced Tai Chi health-preserving skills to absorb the spiritual energy in it.
Watching the sunrise on the sea is a very enjoyable thing. It is so beautiful that it is astonishing. The sun seems to slowly rise from the sea. Until it actually comes out of the sea, it also heralds the coming of day.
Today is the third day since they discovered the sunken ship, and today they will carry out salvage work. The dredging work was completed yesterday. The salvage work still follows the process of shipwrecks in the Qing Dynasty. First, the buoys are lowered, and then the entire ship is wrapped with a large net. Get up and salvage the whole thing.
With their deck of more than 100 meters long, even if they put two such ships on it, it wouldn't be any problem.
During the salvage process in the morning, Chen Yi still got information about the swordfish. The pirates came to the nearby area a few nautical miles again, and the ships were changed from small boats to large ships.
Chen Yi smiled and couldn't help it. Then he had to see if they could get close to his cruise ship. He would never be polite to these pirates.
The pontoons were slowly put into various parts of the sunken ship. Following Sun Hongzhi's order, the pontoons were slowly filled with air. And this sunken ship, like the previous sunken ship in the Qing Dynasty, was slowly filled with air by the buoys. Bring it in.
Several divers and underwater robots are observing or illuminating some importantparts to prevent accidents from happening to the buoy.
At this time, Chen Yi did not go to the equipment room. He just used identification techniques to identify the situation on the seabed. Soon, he identified something wrong with a buoy. Then he quickly walked to the equipment room, observed it, and pointed at it. A picture reminded them. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
