Huang Nanguo asked suspiciously, "Is this really the case?"

Chen Xiu said seriously: "Uncle Huang, look at what you said, I don't dare to cheat you!"

"Okay, send your coordinates over, and I will immediately arrange a helicopter to send you to the salvage ship!"

......

Huang Nanguo quickly arranged for a helicopter to come and take Chen Xiu and Zhu Huiwei to the South China Sea.

Zhu Huiwei has been silent since he got on the helicopter, only looking at the vast sea in a daze, as if he was in deep thought.

Chen Xiu didn't bother him, the devil knew how much this kind of old monster who had lived for hundreds of years had to think about it.

It was only a little more than an hour to travel from Ao Island to the salvage ship in the South China Sea, and when the helicopter landed on the salvage ship, two old acquaintances, Captain Long Zhi and Professor Fang Shaogong, were already waiting on the deck.

"Xiao Chen, you're finally back!"

Professor Fang Shaogong stepped forward to shake Chen Tao's hand warmly and said, "Huang Gu notified us, I didn't expect you to be able to decipher the words on the wreck so quickly!"

Chen Tao was embarrassed for a while, he was really tired of salvaging the ship, so he said that maybe Nüshu could decipher the inscriptions on the sunken ship, but he later knew that Nüshu had nothing to do with these words, so he didn't bother to decipher them.

On the contrary, Professor Fang Shaogong has always taken it seriously, thinking that he is really working hard outside to decipher the inscriptions on the wreck.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Chen Tao said: "Professor Fang, in fact, whether you can decipher it this time depends on this Zhu ...... Mr. Zhu. ”

"Zhu Fengchun. ”

Zhu Huiwei shook hands with Professor Fang under a pseudonym and said, "Hello, Professor Fang!"

Professor Fang was a little surprised to see him so young, but looking at Chen Xiu again, he was younger than Zhu Huiwei, and his treasure appreciation and repair skills were not below him at all, and he sighed in his heart that the current young people were amazing.

If he knew that Zhu Huiwei was hundreds of years older than himself, he wouldn't know what to think.

Chen Xiu introduced Captain Long Zhi to Zhu Huiwei, and after the two shook hands, Long Zhi said: "Xiao Chen, Mr. Zhu, you have been tired all the way, I have arranged a cabin for you, rest for one night first, and then start work tomorrow." ”

"No!"

Zhu Huiwei said anxiously: "I'm not tired at all, let's start working immediately, take me to see the salvaged things first!"

Long Zhi was a little surprised, and Chen Xiu hurriedly explained: "Captain, Mr. Zhu is a workaholic like Professor Fang, so we are not polite, let's start now." ”

"No wonder he was able to decipher the shipwreck text at such a young age, it turned out to be the same as Professor Fang, another workaholic!" Long Zhi thought to himself.

At that moment, I looked at Professor Fang and asked for his opinion.

Professor Fang, who himself studies archaeological things, is a person who can not get off the ship for half a year, so he naturally can't wait to find out what the words engraved on the wreck mean.

"Okay, let's take a look at the salvaged things first. ”

......

Professor Fang directly took the two of them to the cabin hall, and when Chen Xiu left, a lot of things were salvaged here, except for some items returned from trade, some items used by the original crew of the wreck, such as pots and pans, were salvaged a lot, and half of the cabin was filled.

Zhu Huiwei really thinks that he is extremely familiar with everything, and he is full of emotion when he touches a bowl and a scoop.

"Xiao Chen, show you something. ”

Professor Fang opened his laptop and said proudly: "Recently, the seabed salvage team has used 3D composition to make the whole ship far away, you can come and take a look." ”

Professor Fang pointed to the image and said: "At present, the total length of the hull we have calculated is 138 meters, the width is 60 meters, the draft is 8 meters, the displacement is about 15,000 tons, the load is 7,000 tons, and the power is nine masts capable of 12 sails.

This is four times the size of the ship used by Columbus during his expedition to the Americas 70 years later.

This discovery will definitely shock the world, and it is enough to prove that our ancestors far surpassed their European contemporaries in seafaring!"

The more Professor Fang talked, the more excited he became, and directly pointed out some positions of the wreck.

Chen Xiu was originally different from shipbuilding, but when he saw that a cabin was very vast, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the purpose of this cabin designed to be so huge?"

Professor Fang shook his head and said, "At present, we are still studying this......

"It's used to raise livestock. ”

Zhu Huiwei said on the side: "When the eunuch of Sanbao went to the Western Ocean, he was worried that he would not be able to supply at sea, so he carried a large number of animals to the sea together.

Because the eunuch of Sanbao is a color eye, he does not eat pork, so it is used for cattle breeding, so only the keel part is retained, and most of the don't move cabin is unloaded, making more space. ”

"I see, no wonder we salvaged a lot of animal remains here!"

Professor Fang was not curious and said, "Mr. Zhu, how do you know so clearly. ”

Chen Xiu naturally went straight to Zhu Huiwei to know the reason, because he was originally a member of the ship, of course, this could not be said to Professor Fang.

Zhu Huiwei said with a smile: "I have studied "Yingya Shenglan" before, and it is a record of treasure ships, so I know a little bit about it. ”

"Mr. Zhu is really a talent!"

Professor Fang was impressed, and immediately took the opportunity to ask Zhu Huiwei about a few incomprehensible aspects of the hull structure.

Zhu Huiwei originally lived on this shipwreck, and no one in this world knew better than him, and he answered them one by one.

Professor Fang admired him even more and was deeply impressed.

"I heard Chen Xiu say that a Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife was also salvaged from the shipwreck, can you let me take a look. Zhu Huiwei took the opportunity to say.

"Absolutely!"

At this time, Professor Fang was already impressed by Zhu Huiwei's erudition, and soon asked the student to take the embroidered spring knife that had been soaked in the seabed for hundreds of years from the insurance card.

When the scabbard of the embroidered spring knife was salvaged, it was already rotten, and the handle of the knife could not withstand the invasion of time and had been corrupted, but the blade did not know what metal it was forged, and it was still not rusty and extremely sharp.

"Bell!"

Zhu Huiwei flicked the blade of the knife with his middle finger, and there was a sonorous color, and he whispered silently: "Old man, long time no see!"

No one else could hear what he said, but Chen Xiu listened to it, and thought to himself: "It is estimated that this knife was abandoned by him when the ship was sunk, but I don't know how he survived in this vast sea?"

Zhu Huiwei was like a lover and foamed at the embroidered spring knife for a while, suddenly he held the handle of the knife with one hand, and the tip of the knife with the other hand, and pulled it hard, only to see that he directly pulled out a knife more than a foot long and short from the knife body, and the knife body flashed with dazzling reflections, and it was not soaked in sea water at all.
