Chapter 200: An Unexpected Turnaround
PS: Thank you liu135757 and 123aaxf for your tips!
Wei Hang didn't know that his unintentional move actually led to such a story, and he didn't expect that after this incident, the cultural relics department got a little reflection and relaxed some behaviors of the people.
When the divers from the salvage bureau entered the cabin and found a mess, they knew that there were no copper plates left. Their hearts are filled with anger, and they will wait until they look good at some people.
Just when these people were about to evacuate and Zhou Lao and the others were also disappointed, an investigation expert suddenly found something that made his eyes light up.
"Attention diver five, pick up the notebook on your left. ”
The rest of the talent was concentrating, and it felt like things were turning a little bit. Especially for those archaeologists, these books that record things, they care more and can understand some information more directly.
It was a notebook that had been sealed in a zài transparent glass box, which was originally covered in silt. But just when those people were about to leave, one of them accidentally wiped some mud and was discovered by the investigation expert.
The diver looked at it and didn't care too much, isn't it just a book?
Coming out of the water, it was strange that the people on the boat found that nothing had been brought with them. The owner of the Wang Pavilion asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't talk about it, TM's we were tricked. What about those people before! Without a lesson, they would not have told the whereabouts of the treasure. One of them immediately shouted angrily.
Pavilion Master Wang and the others were stunned for a moment before asking, "You mean that everything on the ship has been transferred?"
"Anyway, we didn't get anything, and we found other people's footprints on the ship, probably from the past. ”
This time, even the owner of the Wang Pavilion and the others were furious.
A group of people rushed back to the village, ready to question the guys.
As soon as Zhou Lao saw their angry expressions pouring in, he knew the reason. But things were not as they guessed, in order to avoid conflict, he immediately spoke: "You don't have to speak, we all know what the situation is, listen to everyone's explanation first." ”
Subsequently, someone told the reasons one by one. The anger of Pavilion Master Wang and the others completely dissipated, and it may not be as simple as playing tricks on other impulsive people, right?
"Even so, there is a debtor and a debtor, and his grandfather's business has nothing to do with us. He must make some compensation for this expenses. Also, the bonus must be returned. The man from the salvage bureau spoke.
"Okay, your expenses, my archaeological team is out. Hurry up and bring me the notebook I want!" said the man from the archaeological team impatiently, genuinely feeling that these people were of bad character.
Since someone paid the bill, those people let it go and handed over the box.
Zhou Lao and the others were also curious, and they came over one after another to see what was on the book. Maybe there's something else to gain.
An old man from the archaeological team took out a notebook, and although there was no water inside, the notebook was also a little damp. When I opened it, the ink on it was a little scattered. It gets blurry.
"What kind of country's script is this, and who knows it?" The archaeological expert saw that he didn't recognize the text, and hurriedly handed over the book.
He could still read something in English. There is no contact with other languages.
"It's French!" said a younger staff member, taking one look at it.
"Then let's see what is written on it. Read it out and listen to it. Others said. Anyway, everyone present is interested in knowing, and it is convenient to read it directly.
The young man with gold-rimmed glasses did not hesitate, French was the third language he was studying, and it was no problem to read something.
As this man exposed the above contents, the eyes of the people who had not had hoped became brighter and brighter, and finally they became excited.
According to the notebook, the ship was an escort ship, and along with the other three, it carried out a secret mission to protect the return of a ship transporting gold, silver, and jewelry collected in China. But on the way, he was ambushed by the Japanese and wanted to rob him halfway.
Because of the strength of the enemy, three escort ships were sunk one after another. In order not to cheapen the Japanese, they bombed a transport ship loaded with countless treasures and sank it to the bottom of the sea. In the end, he was left to flee, but because the hull of the ship was too damaged, it didn't have time to dock, and the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and all the members died heroically.
"Immediately mobilize manpower, start from Niushan Island, and survey northward. The members of the archaeological team immediately spoke.
According to records, there were more than 5,000 pieces of gold, silver, and jewelry, fine porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and even the temple was plundered, and there was a Guanyin made of gold, which weighed more than 600 catties.
The value of this gold Guanyin alone cannot be estimated, not to mention other treasures.
"Strange, doesn't the record say that it sank east of Niushan Island? This is obviously west of Niushan Island. Do you see clearly, is it mispronounced?" questioned an expert familiar with geography.
The person who read it to everyone before hurriedly checked it again and found that there was nothing wrong.
That's right, that's what he wrote. ”
Everyone was puzzled, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the mistake of the person who recorded the incident.
This time, everyone was in a good mood, not only did they get a clue to a treasure, but they also learned that the person who was the first to get the benefit was not good, and there was no treasure on this ship. The suspicion of Yang Wei and others hiding treasures was not left at all.
If Wei Hang was here, he would definitely suddenly realize, no wonder he couldn't get any benefits at all, and his feelings put all the treasures on another ship.
"Okay, without further ado, immediately organize people and survey the specific location first. Zhou Lao also said.
The news quickly spread in the archaeological community and immediately caused a sensation. According to records, the treasures on it are not inferior to Nanhai No. 1 at all! Archaeologists from all over the country have gone there.
The Fujian Provincial Government also attached great importance to it, and immediately convened a meeting to allocate funds from the treasury to salvage the shipwreck in the waters of their province.
Then the news reached France, and some people in France took a stand in the media. This ship is their French ship, so they have the ownership of this treasure transport ship, and the Chinese side must consider it carefully.
Suddenly, the people in the country breathed fire.
Nima! Your country came to China to plunder property, and the sinking of the ship is retribution, and you still have the face to stand up and speak, and you are worthy of being the descendants of a group of thieves!
Then, Japan did not lag behind, saying that the transport ship was owned by their Japanese ancestors, and asked China to cooperate in salvage and share the results.
This is despicable enough, it is obvious that your ancestors wanted to rob, but they did not succeed, it is really your ancestors! But compared to the French, the Japanese ghost is a little more shrewd, and proposes the so-called cooperation and sharing, just to get a piece of the pie, and has no exclusive meaning.
In spite of this, the Chinese people still scolded loudly! They all supported the government, independently salvaged the government, and absolutely did not allow foreign forces to get their hands dirty.
was originally plundered, this history has been unbearable, and in the end, it will be salvaged, and it will be given to the descendants of the thieves, which is a slap in the face of Yan zhòng!
The Fujian government has also openly stated that this is the inherent property of the Chinese people, and there is no dispute in the slightest, and it will never allow Japan and France to intervene.
The disclosure of the news was Zhou Lao's idea. He did it on purpose, just to tell you Japan and the French that your ancestors plundered the wealth of our ancient people, but they all died in the sea.
"Don't care about their crookedness, our territorial waters, it's useless for them to talk about it. Pavilion Master Wang spoke.
The other archaeologists smiled and did not speak. They didn't take into account the words of the French and Japanese ghosts at all, and they never had much affection for Britain, France, and Japan, which had brought great disasters to China.
At present, our country still has a large number of precious national treasures sealed by them zài's own museum, Chinese want to see, and have to give tickets, it's really fucked up. Thinking of this, even at their age, they also feel angry and aggrieved.
"It's still Zhou Lao's idea, just disgust them. "Someone is in a good mood.
If the shipwreck is on the high seas, they do not dare to reveal their voices, lest other countries intervene in the competition. When will it be the turn of others to point fingers at the treasures of their own territorial waters?
If you want to do this, the world will not be chaotic in the future. As soon as someone finds a treasure, countries come forward and say that the treasure is theirs.
"The funds are in place! The materials have also arrived, and the people are ready as soon as they are ready. A man walked in and said.
"Then what are you waiting for, mobilize everyone, survey in sections, and speed up. Zhou Lao said.
After their meeting and discussion, the sea area was divided into many sections, and then each team was assigned to start from each community. In this case, the search time will be much shorter.
Those who were ready took a boat to the designated location and all went into the water to investigate, and there were also many advanced instruments to assist. This seabed search is the largest in history, and many domestic archaeologists, collectors, and cultural relics managers are highly concerned.
Wei Hang couldn't have imagined that he had neglected some very important things, so he staged such a scene.
At this moment, they have been adrift at sea for a day. Everyone's spirits are still strong, only a day or two, and they can still bear it. After all, they are not idle, unlike those who take the train, there is no activity, and they are naturally easily tired, it is mental fatigue.
"Something big happened in the East China Sea yesterday!" Yun Rulong said.
At this time, his mobile phone still had a signal, unlike Weihang's, and he couldn't make calls not long after he went out.
"What's the big deal?" Daniel Zhang and the others asked.
"It is said that a fisherman and a few tourists found a shipwreck......"
Before Yun Rulong finished speaking, Daniel Zhang and the others asked, "Isn't that rich?"
Wei Hang remained silent, and secretly said in his heart: It won't be the one I got to go, right? If this is the case, it is strange that you can make a fortune! Those who are not afraid of death can carry a few shells home. (To be continued......)
