Chapter 3 Sample, brother has been waiting for you for a long time
According to my estimates, I had already reached the destination of this operation, but I wandered in this sea for three days and found nothing.
I finally understood why when I mentioned the sea, I had to describe it as boundless.
It's so big!
There was a random dot on the chart, maybe in the ocean, just a few square kilometers, and I thought about the circle I drew on the chart, and my heart was a little sour.
Well, if I can't do it, I'll catch lobsters and catch big abalone! If I'm lucky, I will meet the legendary three-headed abalone and two-headed abalone, and Nima will make a fortune like Lao Tzu!
By the way, there is also the three-meter-long grouper, which is also Lao Tzu!
Just as I was disheartened and about to expand the scope of my search, I was about to make one last round of search, when a coral reef that looked like a boat came into view.
In the past few days, I have grown from a new ding to an old bird, and I am no longer the second cargo who rushed to pounce on the strange coral reef when I saw it, I was very calm, and I slowly swam past the pile of coral reefs...... Wait, what's that?!
A pointed stake was revealed before my eyes! The stake, though decayed, was straight and cylindrical, and it was undoubtedly the work of man!
I'm going to it, it's really a shipwreck, I'm going to get rich!
I was so excited that I couldn't even control the tentacles of paddling, and I kicked and swayed on my eight legs, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea......
Quickly hand over control of his body to Hachi, and I ordered it to swim towards the reef.
As I got closer, I saw a huge wooden ancient ship almost covered in coral. The log stake I just saw was its mast.
Slowly circling around this big ship forgotten by time, I was wrapped in layers of great happiness.
The ship was so big that with my poor knowledge of ships, I could tell that it was a cargo ship.
The ship has been at the bottom of the sea for at least a hundred years, and the entire hull is broken in many places, decaying into a mess, and many small fish and shrimp use this place as a haven to hide from natural predators, constantly going in and out of the cabin.
The sea water continued to wash, so that the contents of the hull of the ship were scattered, looking at the porcelain crawling all over the coral, I had only one thought in my heart, I made a fortune!
In this kind of shipwreck, there are generally no large sea creatures, and the space inside is too small, which is a paradise for small fish and shrimp.
I recklessly rushed through the hole in the broken hull, and before I could enter the cabin, a huge water pressure rushed over, and subconsciously, I shrank my body and ducked behind me.
I rushed forward too violently to stop, and a huge black shadow rushed out of the cabin, and a large mouth full of jagged sharp teeth appeared in front of my eyes!
It's a blue shark!
With a creak, one of my tentacles was bitten off!
The pain of piercing my heart made me go berserk, and the pain of being bitten off by a shark was beyond my imagination.
I saw that the big blue shark swallowed my tentacles with its teeth, and there was a playful expression in what should have been cold and murderous eyes. In that way, it was almost accompanied by a line: "Sample, brother has been waiting for you for a long time!"
It was a juvenile shark, more than four meters long, with a vicious body and a large mouth full of jagged teeth that opened again at me.
This thing is the existence of the undersea overlord, compared to the grouper I met, it is the boss of the underworld, and the grouper is a gangster who bullies and bullies middle school students.
Fortunately, this blue shark is a juvenile, adult blue shark, can grow to more than six meters long, more ferocious, and predation skills are more skilled and sophisticated, if I just met an adult blue shark, it is estimated that the small life will be directly explained here.
Fortunately, although I was nervous this time, I didn't drop the chain, looking at the big blue shark rushing over with its head and tail, almost subconsciously, I squeezed my muscles hard, and the ink and toxins were instantly expelled from my body, and the entire sea area was shrouded in black fog.
The big blue shark shook a few times, and then its body stiffened and sank to the bottom of the sea, dying.
The octopus can spray ink six times in a row, and the toxins of the blue-ringed octopus can be released repeatedly and repeatedly, and the moment the big blue shark rushed over, I had a feeling that I was about to die, and the extreme sense of crisis made me release the ink and toxins all at once, and suddenly the body was sore, and the power was too big.
The ink is okay, as the sea drifts, it will dilute and dissipate after a while, and the toxin is very powerful, with me as the center, the fish and shrimp within nearly 100 meters are all dead.
It's a pity that these fish and shrimp died.
This reminded me that the bottom of the sea contains endless treasures, but it also hides countless dangers, and a little carelessness will cost you your life.
The tentacles of the broken can grow again, and the tentacles of the octopus are a bit like the tail of a gecko, and when fleeing for their lives, they can even fall off on their own.
But no matter how long this thing can grow, it will also hurt the vitality, isn't it? Brother is now the time to grow his body, and he has to make up for such a big injury.
It's just this big blue shark, let's eat! Let you pretend to scare me, pretend to be stupid, this is Brother Cheng's meal, right?
In fact, in addition to filling the stomach and replenishing energy, shark meat is not delicious......
The sharp palate and file-like tongue could easily tear through the muscles of the blue shark, and after a hearty meal, I cautiously swam towards the wreck.
What catches your eye is rotten wooden crates, and the cabins are littered with porcelain.
The porcelain salvaged from the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea is called Hailao porcelain, the value is not high in previous years, dozens of hundreds can buy real things, in recent years, the collection is hot, and the price of good quality has climbed to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
In fact, it is no longer news to secretly salvage the porcelain on the sunken ship, and it has been seen in the newspapers from time to time in recent years, and the shipwrecks in the shallow sea have either been salvaged by the state, or have been filed and protected, which is the fundamental reason why I want to run to the deep sea area.
After hundreds of years of erosion on the seabed, porcelain is eroded by the salt in the seawater, and the surface enamel falls off and loses its due luster, so the value is much worse than that of porcelain preserved on land.
Moreover, there are also treasure exploration companies in foreign countries that specialize in stealing ancient shipwrecks, and these guys can salvage tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain once they go out.
If I want to make a fortune from the porcelain in this cabin, I have to pick carefully, and due to the small size of my current body, I have to take the boutique route.
It is rare for an ancient shipwreck to be so intact at the bottom of the sea, most of the time, treasures such as porcelain are scattered on the bottom of the sea, and the ship is gone.
Ancient ships, mostly wooden structures, until the late Qing Dynasty did not use copper and iron to wrap the bottom of the ship, wooden boats, how many years of erosion and corrosion on the seabed?
I was lucky that the boat I was in right now had sunk in a huge coral reef crevice, and although it was badly corroded, it was not much damaged.
The scattered porcelain plates and porcelain bowls don't need to be seen, they have long been covered with a thick layer of coral, and that appearance makes people with dense phobia look at it, I'm afraid they will go crazy.
This grade of porcelain, even if I transport it to the shore, is worth a few thousand yuan, and there is no value for salvage. I can't compare to those professional poachers, salvage tens of thousands of pieces at a time, limited by Xiaoba's size, the number of antiques I can bring back to the shore is limited, and I can only choose the highest value.
In ancient times, the sea ships that ran out of the country were generally stored in the bottom warehouse, and when the ballast stone was used, the top was loaded with silk and tea, and the silk and tea were precious at that time, and after hundreds of years of sea washing, they were long useless and could be skipped directly.
I made my way to the cabin where the porcelain was kept, and the piles of boxes were messy in the bilge, making me breathless.
It's all money!
After a while, calming down a little, I looked at my eight tentacles with resentment, Nima, it would be nice if the octopus had sixteen tentacles.
Next, I transformed into a baby bear in a cornfield and opened the wooden boxes one by one.
After hundreds of years of immersion and washing, even the best-preserved wooden box was like a lump of mud, and at the touch of my tentacles, it drifted away in the seawater, and in a few moments, the visibility in the cabin continued to decrease.
This is not good, tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain, all are large-scale standard products, although the pieces are exquisitely made, but because of the corrosion of the seawater, all have lost the color of the past, the glaze falls off badly, serious, there will be many potholes in the top, transported back, it is not worth much.
It took a day of hard work, I only probed a small half of the porcelain in the cabin, I couldn't help but be a little frustrated, I controlled Xiaoba's exploration, while looking for information on the Internet, the most expensive celadon plate, is only tens of thousands of yuan, is it, my dream of getting rich overnight is shattered?
After being depressed for a while, I decided to change my strategy and search all the shipwrecks first.
A man moves to live, and a tree moves to die.
Changing your strategy can really work wonders!
In one of the largest seafarers' lounges, I found two treasures.
