Chapter 513 Important Information

"It's so tight!"

The lock of the metal box was rusted to the point that it couldn't be opened even if it had a key. However, Zhou You is very smart, and directly borrows the machine and disassembles it in his room.

"And a box!"

However, after Zhou You unlocked the first layer of defense, he found that there was a black box made of wood that he didn't know what kind of wood it was made of.

This black wood box is not as rusty as the outer layer, although there are traces of water, but there is no sign of dampness at all, because there is a strange oily object on the periphery of black wood, which actually isolates the water from black wood, and it is distinct.

"Haha, that makes me more curious. ”

Zhou You found that this black wooden box also had a lock, but it was the meridian mandarin duck lock he knew. Thinking of the fuse this time, the ebony box, the corners of Zhou You's mouth curled up with a smug smile.

Because of the relationship between the ebony box, Zhou You learned some lockpicking skills from Xu Lao. Naturally, the ready-made meridian mandarin duck lock is the first exercise item. Although Zhou You didn't spend much time practicing, and his skills were not very mature, Zhou You, who had spiritual assistance, could definitely unlock the Meridian Mandarin Duck lock, but it would take a little more time than Xu Lao.

So, Zhou You took out various tools and began the journey of cracking.

Syllable!

Two hours.

It took two hours to travel around before the Meridian Mandarin Duck lock was broken. Such a speed, although it can't be said to be slow, but it can't be said to be fast, if it is replaced by Xu Lao, it is estimated that it can be cracked in half an hour.

Zhou You held back the trembling in his heart, carefully put on his anti-corrosion gloves, and opened the black wooden box:

A stack of papers.

Not paper money from the Qing Dynasty, nor books, but manuscript after manuscript.

Zhou You picked up a piece of paper and sighed sincerely: "It's really amazing, there has been no sign of moisture for so many years." The wisdom of the ancients is really terrifying, and if such a means of separating water is re-studied, I am afraid that it will lead to a revolution in the industry. ”

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou You became more and more curious about these manuscripts.

In order, Zhou You read carefully.

Another two hours.

Zhou You carefully sealed all the manuscripts, and then re-locked the Meridian Mandarin Duck lock. The rusty metal box was completely useless, and was thrown aside by Zhou You, but the material of this black wooden box was very strange, and Zhou You couldn't distinguish it for a while, and the meridian mandarin duck lock was a very high skill, and Zhou You wanted to collect it and continue to study it to increase his lock-picking skills.

After doing all this, Zhou You picked up the information he had recorded and began to think: "It's not so much a manuscript as a nautical diary, but this nautical diary is much more detailed than the previous maritime account book, and even the things that have been secretly looted are recorded." It's a pity that this guy has experienced a shipwreck, and it is estimated that he is also folded in it, otherwise the value of this manuscript can be compared with the secret recipe of the Qing Palace. ”

Zhou You's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

The main cargo carried by this large smuggling ship was the official kiln porcelain of the time, as Zhou You expected. Although Zhou You didn't know how this smuggling merchant obtained the precious official kiln porcelain, this was no longer something that Zhou You could understand, he only needed to know that this sunken large smuggling ship carried at least hundreds of high-quality official kiln porcelain, and the remaining more than 10,000 pieces of porcelain not only had various styles of ordinary official kilns, but also a large number of folk fine porcelain. Although it is a bit mixed, each one is an antique with considerable value, and it is not to be missed when traveling.

But what surprised Zhou You even more was that a small part of the export items this time were Tianhuang stone carvings and Tianhuang stone raw materials that were more expensive than gold.

Tian Huangshi had a rather magical charm among the people at that time. Folklore says that Tian Huangshi is a jewel left in the world when the female disaster mends the sky, and it is said that it is changed by the phoenix bird egg, and it is also said that Tian Huangshi can drive away disasters and avoid evil, and those who hide Tian Huang can prolong life and so on.

The most important thing is that Tian Huangshi is also the national stone dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, which can naturally attract the favor of some small border countries with vassal elegance, and it is reasonable to have a small market.

As for the rest of the smuggled goods, such as calligraphy, paintings and books of celebrities, silk, tea, etc., there was no hope at all for traveling around. These highly damaged exports are impossibly preserved for hundreds of years under the corrosive effects of time and seawater.

"Although I don't know what level those Tian Huangshi are, it's better than nothing, at least it can make up for some of my expenses, not to mention that with this person's special status, I believe that the things I carry will not disappoint me. Naturally, how could I have missed it. ”

Zhou You stood up leisurely.

Although the manuscript does not tell Zhou You's identity from beginning to end, from the dignity shown in his handwriting, as well as his familiarity with the smuggling fleet, Zhou You is sure that the owner of the manuscript is a high-ranking person of the smuggling fleet, and may even be the leader of the smuggling fleet.

Just ask such a character, how can the things he personally carry be garbage.

Zhou You looked at the hot atmosphere outside, and a confident smile overflowed slightly at the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't get a specific route in the manuscript, he got more valuable and motivated news, so he naturally didn't toss around here for too long, and walked out of the room after a little tidying up.

And when Zhou You walked out of the room, Forrest Gump, who had been guarding the door, handed over a letter.

Forrest Gump said: "Boss, this is given to you by Director Huang, he said that he can come over tomorrow at the latest." ”

Zhou You nodded and continued walking.

Walking to the deck, Ming Lao, who was still enthusiastic, asked with a smile: "Xiaoyou, I know I can't stop you from going into the water." But you have to promise us that you are always in contact with us, and that you can't leave the 10-metre range of Mogan, because there is a shark warning from Bashan Island. ”

"No problem. ”

It is rare that Ming Lao no longer obstructs himself, and he is naturally happy to obey when he travels.

Zhou You is not a fool, knowing that there are sharks and going down. Just because sharks also have a lot of natural predators on the bottom of the sea, and they know how to avoid danger with a little intelligence, and generally do not trespass into unfamiliar and dangerous undercurrent areas on the seabed;

And the other elders also came to greet and remind, but none of them stood in the way before.

It is estimated that all the divers have returned in vain, but they have made breakthroughs, so that the elders have to change their views and admit the strength and luck of Zhou You.

In this way, Zhou You successfully boarded the auxiliary search ship and entered the water with Mogan again.

"Come on!"

Swim around to cheer yourself up and be the first to enter the water.

This time, there is a tendency to travel around the water if it is not successful.

It's just that Mogan carries a bit more things this time, not only underwater cameras, but also larger thrusters, and even three spearguns, and two thrusters are armed with them, which at first glance looks like an attack machine.

I used spiritual power to scan the surroundings before traveling, but I haven't found any good ones. Not only was it because of the seaweed around him, but also the strange terrain, such as the sudden sideways hills of the sea, or the rocks that suddenly pulled out of the ground, seriously hindered his search.

"Huh, why do divers get in and out of the water so often?"

Traveling all the way, I saw that there were at least four batches of divers passing by me, and there were people constantly going up and down, which seemed to be extremely busy, which made Zhou You very curious.

Ming Lao explained: "They are going your way. There are quite a few remnants of the routes you've explored before, and I'll ask them to bring all the useful information. ”

Mr. Bai added: "Because I just collect items up and down, the working hours on the bottom of the sea are not very long, and I can often ventilate in the water, and the difficulty is very simple, so many sailors who are familiar with water have taken the initiative to sign up, and those special diving suits are also forced to take turns to use, and finally it seems more frequent." ”

"Oh!"

Zhou You responded for a moment and continued to dive.

Their goal this time was farther than before, at least a few hundred meters away from the main team. However, there was a sea valley that had been detected by an acoustic sounder, and Zhou You thought that the wreck was most likely moved there by the action of the undercurrent on the bottom of the sea, and eventually fell there and could not get out.

Although it is a very dangerous job to deviate from the main team, and you may encounter unnecessary dangers at any time, Zhou You has made up his mind and does not hesitate at all.

Ming Lao didn't know Zhou You's bold plan yet, and said happily: "I have to say, after having your search route, we have obtained a lot of valuable antiques. Just now, the old sailor fished out a complete piece of blue and white porcelain. ”

"Oh!"

Zhou You should still be very light, because he can clearly feel the pull of the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea.

Mo Gan finally spoke: "Dong Zhou, we are out of the rescue scope of the main team, hurry up and turn around!"

Zhou You replied: "I see a sign, come with me." ”

Mo Gan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly accelerated the thruster to lean into Zhou You, wanting to persuade Zhou You to go back: "Dong Zhou, since you have clues, go back first." When everyone moves here, it's not too late for us to continue exploring the past. It's a sea valley, and the depth is definitely over 150 meters, and even if you have a wetsuit, it's very difficult. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

It's not polite to travel around, and it's also accelerated to the past.

At this moment, the communicator came from the boat and roared: "Xiaoyou, what are you doing? Come back quickly! You have deviated from us for nearly 400 meters!"

"Wait, I saw a shipwreck!"

Zhou You condensed his spiritual power to forcibly see through the past, and the heavens finally stopped playing with him, and a huge ancient sea ship lay quietly in the depths of that sea valley, waiting for Zhou You's exploration.

"What!"

Ming Lao roared again: "Xiaoyou, don't be impulsive, it's been so many years now, maybe there are some fierce underwater creatures living there, don't get close to it, wait for our news." ”

Boom!

A dull voice.

Fenxin didn't pay attention to his surroundings, and by the time he felt threatened, it was too late. Because the wings of the fast-moving thruster actually hit the rocks on the bottom of the sea, the whole thruster struggled a few times before stopping working.

Things are going bad.
