Chapter 137: Shipwreck
PS: Thank you for the tip from the cat and the ferryman of the Tamsui River! There is another chapter that is working hard, and it should be very late to finish the code. Don't wait, you can see it when you get up tomorrow!
Looking at the back of the sperm whale leaving, Wei Hang secretly thought: If he can spit out a piece of ambergris, he will be rich.
Ambergris is a unique treasure of sperm whales, and getting a piece will not be much cheaper than the red coral that the boss gets. In the West, it is also known as gray amber, a solid waxy combustible substance with a dark or black appearance, produced in the digestive system of sperm whales.
Ambergris has its own unique sweet and earthy fragrance, which was historically mainly used as a fixative in perfumes. With the development of science and technology, most of its components can be replaced by chemical compounds. In addition, ambergris is also a precious Chinese medicinal material.
The penchant for giant squid is the source of one of the most prized seafood products of sperm whales, "ambergris". The sperm whale swallows the giant squid, but can't digest the squid's parrot beak. At this time, the end of the large intestine or the beginning of the rectum of the sperm whale is stimulated, causing lesions to produce a gray or slightly black secretion, which gradually forms a viscous dark substance in the small intestine, that is, ambergris.
Weihang continued to move forward, while using Haizhu to search for the bottom of the sea, hoping to gain something. It doesn't seem good to come all the way and come back empty-handed.
He could see sea crabs the size of the basin on the bottom of the sea, holding huge pincers, frantically chasing down some sea creatures. Who knew that this delicious delicacy on the daily table of human beings could be so vigorous at the bottom of the sea.
However, Wei Hang didn't dare to get these super-large sea crabs back, it was difficult to explain. This creature can only be seen in the deep sea. Others will question it.
Soon, Wei Hang found an ancient ship that sank to the bottom of the sea. Looking at that appearance, it should be a product before the Republic of China. There are still gun muzzles on both sides. It can be seen that it should be the warships of foreign powers in the late Qing Dynasty!
"Let's go check it out. Wei Hang headed towards the wreck.
The ship's ironwork had long since been corroded to rot, and it was full of all kinds of mud and dirt, and it looked very bad.
Outwardly, it seems that the ship was not blocked, not sunk because of the war. There was no sign of war on it, but the scene seemed chaotic. If you are not mistaken, it should have been a huge storm at sea.
Various conches cling to the shipwreck. Become the guardian of the shipwreck.
Inside the ship, there are no human bones to be found, and I am afraid that they have been eaten by sea creatures hundreds of years ago. Wei Hang secretly scolded that he deserved it, how could he have some retribution for running to invade other countries in a good manner.
He casually picked up a saber, which seemed to be the knight's sword of the West. However, the metallic luster has long been erased by the seawater and has become a waste product. At the bottom of the sea, a piece of metal is far inferior to a piece of porcelain.
Suddenly. Wei Hang kicked something, he looked down, and immediately became happy, and immediately ignored the mud stuck to it. Wash the treasure in the seawater, then put it to your mouth and bite it.
What is your Tao? It turned out to be a piece of gold ingot. Anyone who picks up gold ingots will be happy. Compared to other babes. Everyone subconsciously prefers this kind of glittering gold, which is a symbol of wealth from ancient times to the present!
"Look for it. There should still be. This time, Wei Hang felt full of strength. Start cleaning up the wreck right away. When you step on it, the bloody plank crumbles into mud.
Here, too, it's terrifyingly dark. However, Wei Hang was not affected, there was Haizhu, in the sea, he could see anything clearly even if he closed his eyes.
"Huh, silver dollars?"
Wei Hang picked up a silver coin larger than a coin, with a human head on it and some English on the other. After looking at it, it was indeed a product of the late Qing Dynasty.
Searching for it on the side, he immediately found a bag of silver coins. However, the bag shattered at the touch and could not withstand the torture of time. Unlike these rare metals, it is more difficult to oxidize, so there will be no accidents.
Soon, Wei Hang's mouth was about to smile crookedly. He found several gold ingots, as well as a pile of more than twenty gold coins.
In China, everyone likes to make gold and silver into ingots. In the West, it seems to prefer to make gold coins, silver coins and the like. Either way, it's a shape that everyone likes.
Subsequently, some bombs were found by Wei Hang, and I don't know if they can be used, anyway, Wei Hang didn't dare to touch them.
The ship, at most, had some guns and ammunition, and very little property. It seems that at that time it was preparing to rob China of its property with artillery shells.
Just as Wei Hang thought this, he came to another warehouse and found that there were boxes of goods inside.
Wei Hang was overjoyed, thinking that it was a good thing again, and hurriedly walked over. Those boxes have long been unused, and they were ripped by Weihang, and all of them fell apart.
Looking at the scattered things, Wei Hang was dumbfounded.
Is this opium?
I saw pieces of black items scattered down, and Wei Hang didn't have to try it, he could guess that this should be opium. This harmful case made Wei Hang cry out in his heart. I thought it was a baby, but who knew it was this thing, and he didn't take drugs, so it was useless to ask for it.
It was unexpected that this thing could be kept for so long, and Weihang didn't pay attention to it anymore and walked out.
The ship of this era was not very large, and it didn't take long for Wei Hang to turn the whole ship over. Anyway, all the valuable things were piled up by him.
Actually, there weren't many things, because there was only some gold and silver that he was interested in. And these robbers are here to rob money, and they can't bring a lot of property.
Finally, he counted: five gold ingots, twenty-six gold coins, and more than 100 silver coins.
These things are piled up, that is, in small piles. Wei Hang had already prepared, took out a bag, and transferred those gold and silver coins and the like into it.
But after dealing with it, he started to have a headache again.
It's easy to pick up these things, but how do you explain them to people? If you pick up so much gold and silver for no reason, why do other people have some ideas?
In this way, these things can only create some accidents in the future, otherwise, they can only hide them secretly, or secretly take action.
As for accidents, there are many. It is inevitable that I will go to sea in the future, and the next trip to the bottom of the sea. And then fish it up, who can say anything?
Carry the harvest. He couldn't tell how much it was worth, urging Haizhu. Get out of here in an instant. The shipwreck is still silent, and perhaps, in a few hundred years, it will become a pile of sea mud and disappear into the long river of history.
No one knew that the ship had been capsized. Something of value has long been taken away.
Moving forward, Weihang actually found several huge drilling platforms, except for huge working platforms. There are also quite a few boats, some of which seem to be civilian fishing boats, and there are people on board who are fishing.
Under the seabed, Wei Hang not only saw the huge drilling rig, but also the fishing lines and bait.
Before, he had heard Yun Rulong say it. Nowadays, the country is vigorously developing the South China Sea and obtaining crude oil resources. There are many drilling platforms in the South China Sea, and you can go sightseeing in normal times. Even fishing, but the cost is not cheap, and going on a trip is comparable to your trip out of the province.
It turned out that the guy really wasn't lying. He started out. I thought it was a bit of a joke. Aren't those heavy industrial areas generally closed to the outside world?
At this time, Wei Hang was also a bit of a prank. He sneaked up to the vicinity of a ship. Pull someone's fishing line hard.
At this time, the fishing line pulley of the upper rod turned sharply a few times. The rod is bent and the line is straightened.
"Hey, the fish took the bait. Look at the situation. It doesn't seem to be small!" A fat man next to him was overjoyed, and quickly picked up the fishing rod and began to reel in the line.
The others also looked at it, but they were not too surprised. There are many fish in this place, and they caught quite a few. It belongs to the deep sea, and there is no shortage of some big fish. The first two times, they caught the cattle trevally in this place, which is the GT in the mouth of the sea anglers, weighing hundreds of pounds.
This fish tastes okay, mainly when it comes out at night to feed, and everyone can encounter it from time to time.
However, before the line could be pulled up, the fat man already felt that something was not quite right. According to his years of fishing experience, this is not how the fish is hooked!
He lifted the line and was dumbfounded.
When the others saw it, they burst into a burst of laughter.
"Big fat, where's your fish?"
"Damn, don't laugh, it's too evil this time. Don't you think?" the fat man felt, and there was definitely something wrong with it, and he vouched for it.
The others pouted, they had an accident, this is the evil sect, you fat man is really funny.
Just as they were disdainful, the other man's fishing line pulley spun similarly, as if a big fish had eaten the hook and wanted to escape.
The man with the fishing rod immediately stood up, and his face was hard to hide the joy. The boss came out from afar and sat on a boat for more than a day, hoping to catch a few big fish and show off.
In this case, it is obvious that the big fish is coming.
"Reel in the line, or the fish will have to run away again!" the fat man began to make trouble.
Others laughed and scolded: "You think everyone is as unlucky as you?"
However, the joy on the face of the owner of the rod froze, and as if he felt that something was wrong, he immediately shortened the line and lifted it up.
This time, everyone's eyes widened!
What is the situation? Why is it the fate of the fat man again? If it is only once, then it will be forgotten, and if you do it again, no one will believe it?
"Strange!"
The other shook his head: "It's not strange, it's very strange!"
"It's not enough! I think it's weird!"
At this time, the same situation appeared with another person's fishing rod.
The man didn't dare to move this time, and the people around him made a look: "Mention it and take a look." ”
Only then did he carefully lift it, but there was still nothing, and the bait was intact. When everyone saw this, they all felt a cool air rise from the soles of their feet and rush straight to their heads.
One after another, everyone else is in the same situation.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? Old Mao, do you want to go down and check it out?"
"Damn, you have the ability to go down, and if you have an accident, I'll help you collect the insurance money." ”
On the boat, a group of people were so frightened that they would not have thought at all that it was a person playing a prank. They hurriedly informed the captain that they wanted to change their position, which was a bit evil. (To be continued......)
