Chapter 595: A Tricky Treasure Ship
As with the usual fishing schedule, the fishing operation begins when the fleet reaches the farthest reaches of the sea. At the end of each day's fishing work, Zhuang Haiyang will order the fleet to move its position, let the fleet start to return to the sea, and choose a new sea area to anchor and rest.
In the process of resting the fleet, Zhuang Haiyang will also dive and practice as usual. As long as the fleet sails through the area, Zhuang Haiyang will basically patrol it. It is difficult for any shipwrecks on the seabed nearby to escape his monitoring.
If the depth of the valuable shipwreck is beyond the ability of the salvage team, Zhuang Haiyang will adopt the method of violent demolition to collect the valuable antiques on the wreck into the Dinghaizhu space, and then use it as his own private collection.
If we talk about the treasure salvage company, the collections that have been kept for the time being and have not been sold are intended to be used as collections for private shipwreck museums in the future. Then Zhuang Haiyang's collection is enough to open the largest private collection.
Maybe for Zhuang Haiyang at this moment, he also really understands what Zhao Penglin said, when money is earned to a certain extent, he will treat money as a number. Rather than accumulating wealth, more people want to accumulate more collections.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, even if they are antiques salvaged from sunken ships, there are still many excellent products. Some of the collections can even be regarded as national treasures. This is also the reason why Zhuang Haiyang didn't think about exchanging it for money.
Compared with other common shipwreck antiques, Zhuang Haiyang, Zhao Penglin and others don't care much anymore. But for other collectors, these shipwreck antiques for sale are also worth collecting!
Even with a psychic scan, finding a shipwreck in the sea can sometimes take a chance. It's just that Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect that when he went to sea for the first time in the New Year, he encountered a wreck that made him feel excited and a little tricky.
Standing above the wreck covered by silt, through the spiritual power to scan the wreck buried by the silt as a whole, and perceive the things on the wreck, as well as the more conspicuous shipwreck items, Zhuang Haiyang roughly judged that the wreck was from that country.
To be precise, this is a sunken warship, and it will naturally not be too long from now. The things transported on the ship are not the usual domestic porcelain, but a real treasure ship.
"Obediently, salvage the things on this sunken ship, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money! Even if the shipwreck is on the high seas, if it can be transported back to China, it is difficult not to cause a sensation. ”
Zhuang Haiyang, who thought of this, went straight to the surface, and quickly confirmed the location of the wreck through the locator he carried. Finding the location where the fleet anchored, Zhuang Haiyang went straight to the cockpit and analyzed it with reference to the chart.
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who had returned to the ship ahead of schedule, he hurriedly entered the cockpit, and took out the chart to think about something, and Hong Wei, who followed up, was also curious: "Ocean, is something wrong?"
"Well, when I come across something that I find difficult, I need to think about it. ”
"Tricky business? at sea or under the sea?"
"It's at sea! Specifically, I'll wait for a phone call to ask for advice. Notify the security team and get ready to be on alert!"
"Okay, do you want to notify the dive team?"
"No, you don't need a diving team. Remember, keep this matter secret! ”
"Good!"
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Zhuang Haiyang's words, Hong Wei still resolutely carried out this order. The security personnel who were notified also began to cheer up. The dive team members did not wait for any notice.
Back in his lounge, Zhuang Haiyang looked at the time and dialed the phone without too much hesitation. When the phone was connected, the other party's slightly confused voice asked, "Hello, that one?"
"Elder Wang, I'm Xiaozhuang, didn't disturb your rest, right? I'm in the open sea now!"
"Oh! Xiao Zhuang! I said that this number is a little strange, it was called from a satellite phone, right? I was about to rest! You called so late, there must be something wrong, right?"
"Yes, I'd like to ask you about something. If I am at sea and salvage a treasure ship from another country that was robbed during the war, then the state will not confiscate these things that have been salvaged, will the country take them back? Will foreign countries recover them?"
In recent years, there have been many controversies over the ownership of shipwrecks at sea. Especially in foreign countries, if the shipwreck company salvages the treasure ship, the country where the treasure ship is located will also claim the right to own it. Some countries will also ask for treasures on treasure ships.
All in all, when it comes to the ownership of a treasure ship, many countries will be involved. It was precisely because of this concern that Zhuang Haiyang would make a special call to ask Wang Lao, hoping to understand the relevant situation in advance.
If the shipwreck is salvaged and the state wants to confiscate it, then Zhuang Haiyang will still choose to salvage it and put it directly into the Dinghaizhu space for preservation. It's really not good, it's not bad to leave it to your children and grandchildren as an inheritance!
Wang Lao, who was curious about what Zhuang Haiyang called so late to inquire, heard what Zhuang Haiyang asked, and instantly came to his senses: "Xiao Zhuang, what sunken ship have you salvaged?"
"Elder Wang, it hasn't been salvaged yet. In fact, the depth of the water level where the wreck is located has exceeded the limit depth that the diving team can salvage. It's just that it's not too much of a problem for me, and I can salvage it.
Through the observation of the appearance of the wreck, this should be a light cruiser of World War II imps. I had looked at the charts earlier, and I was in a position that should have been the route that the little devil fleet used to sail in those days.
Judging from the wrecked items, there are many gold Buddha statues and precious metal ornaments on the ship. Judging by the style of these ornaments, they should have been looted from the British colonies. The value is too high, a little empty!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Lao also smiled and said: "What is your kid's heart empty! It seems that this sunken ship has more treasures than you can imagine, so you will feel weak, right? Can you be sure that it is on the high seas?"
Every time my fleet goes to sea, it will not salvage in economic waters. I never dared to mess around with this kind of thing. If you don't believe me, you can always ask someone to locate the location of the fleet. ”
"Well, then! If you have the ability to salvage the wreck, then salvage it. Just one thing you have to keep in mind is that all salvage processes have to be photographed and videotaped, and that can be done, right?"
"Yes, but one thing, I want it to be kept secret. The reason is that the depth of the wreck should not be less than four hundred meters. Even if I go into the water, I need to wear heavy diving equipment and then use a sling to carry out the lifting operation. ”
"Okay, I'll get involved in this matter personally! If the value of the sunken ship is too high, the state will certainly not sit idly by. One thing I can guarantee is that the part that belongs to you will never be treated badly, how about it?"
"With your old words, I can rest assured. Those Buddha statues or ornaments that have not been melted can be donated to the country for research. What I really care about is the melted gold bricks. If I really want to confiscate it, I will be very distressed. ”
"Okay! This matter belongs to your interests, and I will try my best to fight for you at that time. On the way back, remember to inform your old troops. If it is to be kept secret, the less people know about it, the better. I mean, you know?"
"Understood!"
After getting Wang Lao's promise, Zhuang Haiyang naturally breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing else, the things on the sunken ship will be salvaged, and their value will be in hundreds of millions, and it will be a beautiful knife. After all, the value of the BRICS is still very high!
After ending the call, Zhuang Haiyang, who walked out of the cabin, said very directly: "Call the backbone of the diving team over and let them come to the No. 1 ship to standby." The rest of the diving team members stayed on the boat and acted as a vigilance force. ”
"Good!"
"Shengjie, inform the remaining three ships to carry out a guard patrol at these three positions. Lao Zhou, your flight crew flew and cruised overnight, no problem, right?"
"No problem! The sea situation tonight is relatively safe!"
The helicopter took off first, and along this position, it extended to fifty nautical miles nearby. Look at how many strange ships there are?"
"Understood! Then I'll go and get ready!"
When Zhu Junhong and other backbones of the diving team came to the No. 1 ship one after another, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say anything, but handed over the black waterproof bag fished out of the sea to Hong Wei again, and he handed it over to other security team members.
Seeing that the weapons were all taken out, Zhu Junhong and the others were also very curious: "Ocean, what are the actions?"
"Salvage a sunken ship, but none of you can participate, at most help the field, and fight on the ship. I am personally responsible for completing this salvage operation. Don't argue with me, the depth of the wreck is more than 400 meters, you can carry it?"
Just when Zhu Junhong and the others wanted to ask to join, they naturally looked a little dumbfounded when they heard that the shipwreck was more than 400 meters deep. Beyond 300 meters, they will feel that they can't bear it, let alone the bottom of the sea below 400 meters?
Although I don't know, what kind of shipwreck is this. Judging from Zhuang Haiyang's cautious attitude, other people also know that this sunken ship is not simple. The more this is the case, the more people are full of anticipation.
When they saw Zhuang Haiyang dragging out a heavy diving suit, everyone was also surprised: "You wear this to the water?"
"Otherwise, we need to keep video footage to prove that our salvage location is on the high seas. If people see me in the wreck with nothing on, what do you think people will think?"
With this sentence, everyone suddenly understood why Zhuang Haiyang did this. At the end of the day, this heavy wetsuit is just a camouflage. After letting others see it, they will only feel that the extreme water pressure he can withstand is very high, and it does not exceed the limit of human beings.
If you don't wear anything, you'll see it as a monster in the eyes of others. At least they don't want Zhuang Haiyang to become a specimen to be studied by scientific research institutions. It's one thing to hear about some things, it's another thing to see them with your own eyes.
It is precisely because of this concern that Zhuang Haiyang chooses to act so cautiously. Even if some people will be suspicious, but in front of these video materials and evidence, as long as Zhuang Haiyang doesn't admit it, what can others do to him?
