Chapter 512: The Iron Box Under the Sea

The more wreckage there is, the more comfortable the travel becomes.

Morgan, on the other hand, kept sending reports to the top: "Report report! A lot of wrecks have been found here, but most of them are so badly decomposed that it is difficult to identify the specific objects of which part of the ship. ”

Ming Lao immediately contacted Zhou You: "Xiaoyou, can you check it out and see if there are any tools exclusive to humans?"

"Yes!"

Zhou You immediately gave an affirmative answer, and picked up a broken bowl by the way and said: "I have seen a lot of broken bowls, the craftsmanship of which is from the early Qing Dynasty, and there are a few of them printed with the standard Kangxi style. ”

Ming Lao immediately roared: "Quick! Quickly take them up and study them! As long as we confirm their authenticity, even if we don't salvage the wreck, our salvage work this time will be meaningful." ”

Zhou You hesitated and replied, "But I don't want to stop there!"

I didn't want Teacher Bai to say, "Xiaoyou, the meal is eaten one bite at a time, you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Okay!"

Zhou You could only reluctantly agree, carefully scooping up those broken bowls, dishes and other porcelain, or severely corroded copper lamps and lanterns from the mud one by one.

He had also condensed his spiritual power to search for the surrounding situation before, but the heavens kept giving him a little hint as if they were trying to play with him, but they didn't show the hull of the ship.

"Boss!"

Mo Gan didn't want anything to happen to his boss at the last moment, so he hurriedly came down to help Zhou You collect evidence.

"Hey, there's a box here!"

Traveling around and picking valuable items in the sea mud, there are many harvests. But when he saw a metal box of the same color as the sea mud and extremely unrecognizable, he quietly put away the iron box so that no one else could notice it.

At this time, in the seaweed cluster on the side of the tour, a huge figure suddenly crossed, and Zhou You and Mogan were not aware of it because they were too focused.

After collecting for about ten minutes, Zhou You and Mogan finally evacuated the place, and then quickly returned to the salvage boat in a rubber speedboat.

As soon as Xiao Lao saw Zhou You, he said with regret: "The door panel has been seriously corroded, and even if there are signs of being able to break the generation, it has been corroded and dried up. And looking at its shape, it's just a very ordinary door panel, and I can't see the specific age at all, this thing is for nothing. ”

Zhou You and Mogan took out the broken utensils they had fished up.

"It's Kangxi porcelain!"

Xu Lao, who grabbed it at the first time, almost judged its age after just one glance.

Teacher Bai also nodded incessantly and said: "The Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty lasted 61 years, and the economy was prosperous during this period, whether it was official or smuggling, and overseas trade was extremely prosperous. ”

Xiao Lao added: "The blue and white cobalt material of the Kangxi Palace kiln is written more, followed by the enamel color model, and the printing and engraving are less. Among them, the blue and white writing section, the blue and white color is pure and bright, deep under the glaze, with typical characteristics of the times. These porcelains conform to the imprint of that era, and it seems that they are Kangxi porcelain. ”

Ming Lao continued: "Kangxi porcelain can be divided into three periods: early, middle and late due to the long firing time and great changes before and after: the early period is from the first year of Kangxi to the nineteenth year of Kangxi, the middle period is from the twentieth year of Kangxi to the fortieth year of Kangxi, and the late period is from the fortyth year of Kangxi to the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, the most prominent of which is that the porcelain in the middle of Kangxi is the most charming. And these porcelains are obviously porcelain from the middle of the Kangxi period, and their value is higher. ”

Zhou You was in a very happy mood and said: "These bottom money is also very convincing. The font is dignified and neat, vigorous and upright, ancient and clumsy, vigorous and powerful, each stroke seems to be like a god, it is definitely a masterpiece of the official kiln. ”

Ming Lao excitedly rubbed all the broken porcelain, and couldn't help but sigh: "There is so much strong evidence, we can write a report!"

The museum recorder who was assigned by Director Huang to help also said excitedly: "Seniors, I will make all the records, and we can report to Director Huang immediately." ”

Zhou You didn't want to pay attention to these things, and said firmly: "You guys see that it's done, I'll take a rest and go down again in the afternoon." This time it ended without a problem, and I couldn't be reconciled!"

Ming Lao didn't get too proud of it, and reminded: "Xiaoyou, you went down for a full hour and a half just now, don't you have a good rest and come back tomorrow?"

Zhou You shook his head firmly.

Ming Lao and other elders can only ask Dazhi for help, but Dazhi can't help.

Others can't understand the mood of Zhou You, but Dazhi knows it clearly. First of all, Xu Man is pregnant, and he wants to end the salvage work as soon as possible and go back; secondly, the direct value of the wreck is at least 100 million yuan, and the influence derived from it has a strong stimulating effect on the upcoming Mingyuan Museum. The two factors add up, and traveling around is naturally anxious, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

Naturally, Dazhi will not hinder travel at this time.

Anyway, with the beast-like physical fitness of Zhou You, others can hold on for two hours, then Zhou You can last at least three hours, or even four hours, and now it is far from the limit of Zhou You.

Hello!

Hello...

But at this moment, a shrill hiatus burst out.

It's not one person who is hiding, but several people in succession, making the main shift around them to the past. However, the sight of the sight made them smile bitterly, because a cunning old sailor actually smeared the edge of the mouth of the sea mussel with a pungent spice mixed with water, so that the sea mussel could not bear the stimulation and opened up sexually.

However, because of the transition of their dosage, it affected several onlookers.

The mischievous old sailor immediately shouted, "Hold it up with something!

Then, someone found two solid short stools and stuck the mouth of the sea mussel.

"Haha, Pearl, I'm here!"

The old sailor's eyes lit up and he picked up his knife and walked slowly.

Seeing such a scene, they naturally knew that the sailors were going to kill mussels for pearls.

It's just that not all mussels can produce pearls, that is, the sailors still take care of so much, even if they can't get pearls, everyone has fresh mussel soup to drink, and there is nothing to lose.

At this moment, Apus suddenly came out and shouted, "What are you doing? This thing was discovered by the boss first, and you just took it back on behalf of the boss, even if there are pearls, they belong to the boss." ”

Wow...

There was an uproar.

The excited expressions of the sailors instantly turned into anger, and they looked at the sycophants of Aps.

Zhou You said: "It doesn't matter, if there are pearls, you can sell them, and the money from the sale will be used as a reward this time." If not, I will give you a satisfactory reward at the end of the day. ”

"Hooray!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"Or the boss is generous!"

"Jay Chou is the best boss we have ever met. ”

Everyone seemed very excited, obviously not expecting Zhou You to be so generous.

Aps, on the other hand, looked at Zhou You with strange eyes, feeling that Zhou You was too generous. However, he was also quite happy in his heart, at least Zhou You's generosity was enough to show that he was a good boss, not counting the many actions that made him unhappy before.

"Mazu bless!"

The old sailor said a word to himself, and finally walked in front of the mussel.

Mazu, also known as the Heavenly Concubine, the Queen of Heaven, the Virgin of Heaven, and the Mother of Heaven, is a deity worshiped by shipwrights, seafarers, travelers, merchants, and fishermen throughout the ages. In ancient times, sailing at sea was often attacked by wind and waves and ships sank, and the safety of the crew became a major concern for the sailors, who pinned their hopes on the blessing of the gods. Before the ship sets sail, it is necessary to sacrifice the heavenly concubine, pray for blessings and safety, and set up the heavenly concubine shrine on the ship.

It can be said that Mazu's fame in the coastal areas is not at all below that of the dragon king.

Zhou You saw that the process of the old sailor's pre- and post-processing was so troublesome, and asked: "It's okay to just knock it open." Although this sea mussel is large, it will definitely break it with a heavy hammer. ”

Mo Gan replied: "Not necessarily, Dong Zhou." The shells of such a large sea mussel are so hard that ordinary small iron hammers cannot break them at all, and they have to be used to break the wall hammer used to hit cement walls. Moreover, if such a large sea mussel does not dig up pearls, it can make a lot of money by selling shells, which is a good supplement for ordinary people and cannot be wasted. ”

Zhou You also learned some partial knowledge.

"Mazu bless!"

"It's really a pearl!"

Soon, good news came from the old sailors, who had dug up a few round pearls from the sea mussels.

Pearls are better with round grains, transparent luster, precious brilliance, and hard texture. Although the number of pearls dug up by the old sailor is small, each pearl can see colorful rainbow light when looking at the light, and the layers are rich and varied, and even the spherical surface like a metallic texture can be seen, even if you are not an insider, you know their preciousness.

"It's developed!"

"This time the prize money is rich enough!"

"Thank you Jay Chou for your generosity!"

Everyone cheered like a tsunami.

They are all connoisseurs, and they all know that such pearls are extremely precious, and they can sell them for a high price of 400,000 or 500,000 yuan if they sell them casually. Even if everyone shares it equally, everyone can get a reward of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is a lot of income for them who sleep on the boat.

Teacher Bai gave Zhou You a thumbs up, and the other elders also showed expressions of appreciation.

A simple act of traveling around will arouse everyone's enthusiasm, which will be of great benefit to the next work.

Zhou You is also clever, knowing that striking iron and riding the heat, publicly announced: "I am here to announce a reward by the way." I personally rewarded the diver who searched for the main body of the wreck with 1 million yuan, and if I found it, everyone could also have fun with me, and everyone could get a reward of 30,000 yuan. ”

"Wow!"

"Hooray!"

"Dong Chou is the most generous boss I have ever met!"

Everyone's enthusiasm instantly climbed to a new height, especially those divers, who were eager to enter the water immediately, and made sure that they could be the first to search for the wreck. That's a million, maybe they can't earn a lifetime as a sailor.

If they can get it, it is estimated that they can retire and return to the fishing village to retire.

Zhou You smiled, but instead of joining the celebratory army of sailors, he walked slowly to his room. For him, shipwrecks are always the key, and that weird metal box could be the key to that.
