After Long Zhi's explanation, Chen Xiu understood, it turned out that they were planning to make a "container" with reinforced concrete on the bottom of the sea, load the sunken ship in its entirety, and then lift it in its entirety.

This process is easy to say, but it is not easy to build a container of this size out of reinforced concrete hundreds of meters below the seabed. It is absolutely impossible for a country to accomplish without a certain scientific and technological foundation.

Chen Xiu was not convinced and said: "It's really a wonderful idea, this salvage method is definitely no less than the Ming Dynasty when such a large wooden boat could be built, it is also a miracle! Professor Fang, this is the method you came up with, it's amazing!"

Professor Fang shook his head and said, "The previous Nanhai No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 were all salvaged in this way. This container salvage method is not my first creation, and I am just picking up the wisdom of my predecessors. ”

It turned out to be precedent!

Chen Xiu suddenly blushed again because of his loneliness.

Professor Fang didn't want Chen Xiu to be too embarrassed, and continued: "However, there are a lot of ceramic products on the wreck, and this project to create a seabed 'container' will also take many years. ”

Talking about the things that had been sitting next to him, he said, "Those are the things we recently salvaged. ”

Chen Xiu was curious and looked around, although he didn't touch the ability of the ancient jade, Chen Xiu just saw with the naked eye that the origin of the vase, bowl, and dish were all things from the folk kiln in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and in terms of artistic value, these things from the folk kiln were of course not as good as the things from the official kiln. Today, it is the pots and pans that some ordinary people use in their homes.

Of course, after the baptism of the years and the particularity of the excavation, they have also been given a different historical mission. If it is put aside for sale outside, a single piece can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

Chen Xiu looked at the tusks that were suddenly placed in the corner and was attracted by them, and said in surprise: "This pair of African ivory is also a shipwreck?

Seeing that Chen Xiu could see that this was African ivory with just the naked eye, and judged that this was a returning ship, Professor Fang also thought in his heart: "It seems that this Chen Xiu still has some talent!"

At the moment, he smiled and said, "That's right." In the past, our domestic scholars all recorded that Zheng He's fleet had been to Africa through literature, but there was indeed no direct evidence and was not recognized by foreign experts and scholars.

This time we salvaged the African ivory from the wreck, and this is the strongest proof of this!"

Of course, Chen Xiu knew that a scholar like Professor Fang was different from an antique dealer like himself. Antique dealers tend to pay attention to the value and uniqueness of their collections. This pair of ivory, which has been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, is no longer of much value, especially the original ivory, which has not been carved into a work of art.

Scholars often value the historical value of the object itself!

Being able to prove in his own hands that Zheng He's fleet had traveled to Africa is definitely a great discovery in the archaeological community. It's no wonder that Professor Fang is so excited.

At that moment, Chen Xiu was in the hall for a long time, watching Professor Fang's students cleaning and repairing cultural relics, only to feel that Professor Fang's team was very professional and had a high ability to appreciate treasures, and he couldn't help but be curious, "If it's just to clean up these things, Professor Fang's team is enough, why bother to let me get on the boat?"

Professor Fang also seemed to see the doubts in Chen Xiu's heart, and said with a smile: "There are still a few important things in the wreck that have not been fished up, and those are the things that Mr. Chen will identify when the time comes." As for these things, my team can handle them!"

At this moment, Chen Xiu was even more curious, there was something that Professor Fang couldn't identify!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Professor Fang glanced at Long Zhi, who smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you have been traveling all the way, why don't I take you to rest first." ”

After Long Zhi said this, Chen Xiu really felt a little tired, he had experienced the speedboat chase of the D owl again this night, and he was running with the two of them on the island.

At that moment, he followed Long Zhi to the cabin to rest.

......

The first time he spent the night on the ship, although his body was tired, the occasional shaking hull made Chen Xiu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, still fall asleep at more than five o'clock in the morning, and woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Walk out of the cabin and go up to deck.

Today's weather is good, the sea is calm, and the view of the sea is irreplaceable by any other scene, and you will never be able to feel that magnificent feeling until you have actually been to the sea.

The sea is endless as far as the eye can see, and in the distance is the water and the sky.

The November sea breeze was blowing on his body, and because he was already in the Y tropics, he didn't feel cold at all, as if it had blown open Chen Xiu's heart, and the indescribable pleasure made him feel a little excited in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, you're awake!"

A voice sounded from behind, and Chen Xiu looked back and saw that it was Professor Fang walking towards him alone.

Chen Xiu said slightly apologetically: "Professor Fang, I'm really embarrassed. I didn't expect to oversleep on the first day on the boat!"

Professor Fang waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I first got on the ship, I vomited for several days, and it was a week of recuperation on the ship before I could work. I really envy Mr. Chen's youth, his physical fitness is good, and he doesn't have a seasickness reaction at all!"

At that moment, the two of them chatted on the deck for a while, and Chen Xiu also roughly learned some about the general situation of Professor Fang's team, and their group of people had been on the ship for more than half a year, and they could take the supply ship back to land for a few days every other month.

However, Professor Fang is obviously a workaholic, all his students have returned to land, he has not been on shore for ten months, and he has been on the boat against those salvaged things.

"This Professor Fang is really a ruthless person, if I were on the ship like this for ten months, I would definitely go crazy! Fortunately, Mr. Huang said that I only need to stay on the ship for a month or two. ”

At that moment, he asked himself about the specific tasks of the boarding work this time, but Professor Fang smiled and changed the topic and said, "Don't worry, at nine o'clock this evening, I held an orientation party for Mr. Chen in the canteen of the ship." I haven't drunk this wine yet, so I'm embarrassed to let you work!"

......

In the afternoon, Long Zhi sent a change of clothes and some daily necessities to Chen Xiu's cabin, and more importantly, a new mobile phone and laptop.
