Chapter 33 Salvage Ebony
You know, almost all sea ships are sharp-bottomed boats. There are two possibilities for this flat-bottomed boat, either it is a pleasure boat in the river and lake, or it is an ancient boat.
This Qianliyan is in the sea area, so this ship is definitely not the former, and he can only have one identity: this is an ancient ship!
Xiao Peng thought about it, and went into the water to find out in person.
Consciousness clones can observe and cultivate, but they can't move shipwrecks. When you have to be a coolie, you still have to rely on Xiao Peng himself.
After Xiao Peng dived, carefully observed the wreck, due to the bottom of the seabed covered with sediment, only the bottom of the ship can be seen, the ship is about more than 20 meters long, Xiao Peng carefully observed the hull workmanship, it really does not look like modern technology, the hull is connected by a large number of mortise and tenon joints, and there are no iron nails at all.
Xiao Peng's curiosity was aroused, so he simply cleaned up the sediment on the seabed that buried the hull of the ship, and wanted to lift the ship out of the sea mud.
It's a pity that Xiao Peng overestimated his strength. Although Xiao Peng's current physical strength has greatly improved, it is too unrealistic to drag a wreck more than 20 meters long from the sea mud at the bottom of the sea.
Xiao Peng thought about it for a while and came up with a solution.
The Aralei has a winch, and the pneumatic winch on the Aralei uses a 30-millimeter steel cable with a traction force of 20 tons.
Xiao Peng ran back to the ship, put the steel cable, fixed the steel cable to the sunken ship, and started the winch.
Sure enough, it is still a great force of science and technology, and under the effect of the winch, the ancient ship was really dragged out of the sea mud.
Xiao Peng hurriedly observed through the mind clone, but was disappointed. It's true that this is an ancient ship, but it's also a transport ship that doesn't know what dynasty it is, and it's not transporting anything good, it's just transporting timber.
The ship pulled three logs with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of more than ten meters, but it is not known how long they have been buried at the bottom of the sea. I can't see what it is.
Xiao Peng was disappointed, and he couldn't go home empty-handed, so he simply pulled a piece of wood back. It's okay to build a chicken coop, isn't it? After a long day's hard work, you always need a flashlight to harvest!
Thinking of this, Xiao Peng fixed it with a steel cable, dragged a piece of wood and returned to the sea.
When Xiao Peng returned to the dock, Yang Meng was catching the sea there.
The so-called catching the sea is to take advantage of the low tide to find seafood on the reef. What seashells, conchs, oysters and the like.
Seeing Xiao Peng coming back, Yang Meng ran to the dock and helped tie the cable. After everything was done, Yang Meng found out that a big log was dragged behind Xiao Peng's boat.
"Damn, people fish, you fish wood, what are you doing when you come back with the whole big wood?" Yang Meng looked confused.
Xiao Peng didn't lie: "If you fish it from the sea, you can use it to build a chicken coop or something when you come back, and you don't have to destroy the greenery and cut down the trees on the island." ”
Yang Meng didn't speak, stared at the wood in the sea for a long time, turned around, and used the gantry crane of the dock to lift the wood to the dock. Then he squatted in front of the wood and didn't speak, just squatted there and kept observing, scraping and scratching on the wood.
"Mengzi, are you stupid? What's so nice about a broken piece of wood?" Xiao Peng stopped the boat and jumped on the dock.
Yang Meng tilted his head and looked at Xiao Peng: "Broken wood? Your so-called broken wood, it's no problem to change your ship." ”
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "What kind of wood is so valuable?"
"I can't tell how many years it is, but it's definitely a good thing!" Yang Meng introduced.
"Jin Si Nan is another name for Zi Nan and Zhen Nan, and it is also another name for the king of cork. In ancient times, almost all the pillars of the emperor's palace were made of this thing, and those rich people in ancient times on TV said at every turn that they were ready to prepare a good nanmu coffin, which also referred to this kind of wood. And ebony, that is, the wood has been buried in the soil because of the change of the strata, also known as gloomy wood, there is such a saying, that is, even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as the ebony side. Some people also say: Ten thousand taels of gold will be sent to the underworld, in exchange for ebony sacrifices to the heavenly spirits. In the first two years, the price was speculated to sky-high prices, and the market has been about to collapse in the past two years, but good things are still good things. The best golden silk ebony is still sky-high. ”
Yang Meng lit a cigarette, looked at Xiao Peng who was already stunned, and continued: "Jin Si Nan is also valuable, and ebony is also valuable, so you say Jin Si Nan ebony, is it more valuable? Look at this wood, the gold wire emerges, the golden light is shining, the color is yellow and green, this is the golden silk nan gloomy wood green material! The best golden silk nan gloomy wood!"
Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's explanation, but he didn't know what to say: "Mengzi, you are too good, how do you know this?"
Yang Meng listened, and there was a look of pride on his face: "Have you forgotten what I used to do? Open a rental during the day and a barbecue stall at night, which is not nonsense with people? ”
Xiao Peng jumped back to the boat directly and untied the cable: "Hurry up, there are still two in the sea." ”
Transporting three golden silk nan ebony trees to the dock can exhaust the two of them. This ebony can weigh more than ten tons. If it weren't for the cranes on the dock, it would have been impossible to transport them ashore with Xiao Peng and the others.
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng sat on the ebony and smoked cigarettes, looking at the three large ebony sticks. Only then did Xiao Peng know what the troubles of happiness were.
Mengzi looked at Xiao Peng: "What to do with this thing?"
Xiao Peng said with a bitter face: "How do I know? Just thinking about the value of this thing just now, hurry up and catch it." Now that's a big problem, right?"
There is controversy about whether the sale of ebony is legal, and there have been cases in individual provinces and cities where people have found ebony and confiscated it. The reason is that the General Principles of the Civil Law stipulate that buried objects found must belong to the state. However, according to the law, it is not illegal to buy and sell ebony. And where did the ebony come from?
Xiao Peng didn't want to make those troubles for himself, anyway, he wasn't bad at the moment, so he kept it for himself. However, after checking on the Internet, the price of this golden silk nan ebony is really amazing, and the price of such a large piece of material has doubled.
Yang Meng heard Xiao Peng say that the ebony was kept, and trotted all the way to the warehouse, and came back with a chainsaw.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Peng asked.
Yang Meng smiled: "It just so happens that I don't think the vegetable dun is not easy to use, so I cut off a piece of the vegetable dun to make it." ”
"What's the trouble, you make vegetable piers with such expensive wood? Besides, didn't you say that Jin Sinan is the king of cork? Cork can make vegetable piers?" Xiao Peng let Yang Meng completely defeat.
"Ebony is carbonized wood, absolutely strong, no problem for cooking. Yang Meng was still there with a chainsaw and gesturing.
"That's not good, I just checked on the Internet, the good golden silk nan ebony is six thousand one taels, and the large ones are more expensive, if you really use them to make vegetable piers, it will make the thunder split." Xiao Peng resolutely refused.
Yang Meng kicked on the wood: "Then what should we do? This thing is just placed here? Without a forklift, we can't move him." This thing is the best material for furniture, but who of us knows how to do carpentry?"
Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words, and his eyes lit up: "What's so difficult about carpentry? I will! Not to mention making furniture, carving is no problem!" Xiao Peng is really not nonsense, in the inheritance of witches, there is a knowledge inheritance about carpentry.
Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with a look of disbelief: "Blow! We have known each other for so many years, you just blow to others, and you also blow with me?"
Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "What am I blowing? That is, there are no carpentry tools, otherwise I will demonstrate to you." ”
Yang Meng heard this and laughed: "Who said there are no tools? A full set of electric woodworking tools are in the warehouse." What pistols, drills, cutters, grooving machines, grinding machines, engraving machines and the like, you name it!"
Yang Meng felt a pain in his liver, looked at Yang Meng directly, and slowly raised his right hand: "Excuse me, what are you buying woodworking tools for?"
Yang Meng scratched his head, looking embarrassed: "The shopkeeper told me that I can use them when repairing fishing boats, so I bought one with the same tool, and when I shipped it to the island, I thought that our boat is carbon fiber and alloy hull, and I can't use it at all." ”
"Nima blew up!"
In order to prove that he was not bragging, Xiao Peng cut off a piece of wood and prepared to make some gadgets.
What should I do? Xiao Peng hesitated again and again, and decided to make a pipe. Isn't Popeye just a pipe in his mouth?
In Xiao Peng's knowledge inheritance, he used primitive tools, and he was still very unaccustomed to using power tools at first, but after becoming familiar with the tools, Xiao Peng concentrated on making pipes.
He didn't make a different pipe, and he didn't feel like it showed off his skills.
He's going to make a dragon-shaped pipe. In the inheritance of knowledge, this can be carved with a carving knife, with the electric engraving machine, it is much easier, two hours later, a flexible dragon-shaped pipe, appeared in front of Yang Meng's eyes.
Yang Meng looked at the pipe in his hand, and both eyes looked straight: "I'm a dumbfounded, you are so good! Look at this line, each dragon scale is carved so finely." With this craft, you too can make a fortune. ”
Xiao Peng was indeed dissatisfied: "The tools are not familiar, and they are not very good." ”
Yang Meng stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up: "I'll give full marks for this forced pretend, it's not good? ”
Xiao Peng pursed his lips: "Look at your appearance, look at me and make another one." ”
With his first experience in making pipes, Xiao Peng became familiar with the use of power tools. Making a second pipe is even more familiar.
This time, instead of making a dragon-shaped pipe, he made a wolf-shaped pipe.
The front mouthpiece of the pipe is a wolf head with cracked teeth, and the erected wolf tail is the handle of the pipe. On the whole, this is a lone wolf ready to go.
To make this pipe, Xiao Peng used full concentration. Every wolf hair is depicted in detail, the carving of the wolf's head is even more attentive, the open wolf's mouth, and the prominent wolf teeth are even more lifelike.
After finishing the polishing, Xiao Peng put the pipe in his hand and observed it repeatedly, and finally nodded: "This is still like that for a while." After speaking, he also carved a Peng character at the bottom of the cigarette holder, which is considered a famous model. This is also a habit learned in the transmission of knowledge.
Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng's lone wolf pipe and swallowed his saliva: "Brother Peng, please take my knees, I kneel completely." ”
Xiao Peng laughed: "Even if you really kneel, I won't give you this, I'll keep this for myself." Anyway, there is a lot of wood, so I have time to do a few more plays. ”
It was getting late, and making pipes again would definitely delay eating, Yang Meng took the pipe in his hand and said beautifully: "Okay, you have made pipes today, treat you, I rushed to the sea today to find a lot of small seafood, and we will eliminate them in a while." ”
