The sea area of Zhoushan is strategically located, has a long history, has many important foreign trade ports, and maritime trade is very prosperous. But the sea is also full of disasters and difficulties, and in the past thousand years, countless ships have sunk in the vast sea due to natural disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, and tsunamis.

The Underwater Archaeology Research Center of the National Museum has set up a special underwater archaeology workstation on Zhoushan Island to actively carry out the investigation, exploration, excavation and protection of underwater cultural relics.

There are a lot of clues about the wreck, but due to technical conditions, it is impossible to salvage them for at least ten years.

Lu Zheng has been away for nearly half a month, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs will actively carry out his orders, conduct a carpet search of the Zhoushan sea area, and have found nearly 60 shipwrecks on the seabed.

Of course, these sixty shipwrecks will certainly not be all treasure ships full of treasures, warships, submarines, transport ships, and fishing boats are all possible.

"Your Majesty, you are truly clever. Captain Liu Nengdu found a shipwreck in the place you said. Zhuge Xuanmei, the prime minister of the turtle, said: "There is also a shrimp soldier in the Golden Chelation Guard, who accidentally found a treasure ship full of gold, silver and jewelry, and the old minister has promoted it to the captain of the treasure hunt. The Spider Metropolitan Governor has also gathered a group of capable subordinates, hoping that His Majesty can ignite them and strengthen the strength of my Dragon Palace. ”

"Well done, I'll be rewarded for my deeds. ”

Lu Zheng nodded, these shrimp soldiers and crabs will have absolute loyalty and worship to him, much more reliable than anyone else. He was very happy to be able to find a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, and he was just happy, and he did not get carried away.

He has seen the priceless jewels and jade in the Dragon Palace, but in fact, gold and silver are not too attractive to him. He is not short of money to spend, and he now has a cash sum of 10 million euros in his hand.

Compared with gold and silver treasures, he was more concerned about the hydrogeography of the Zhoushan Sea, so he asked: "Don't mention those shipwrecks for the time being. I asked you to find a suitable place for the Dragon Palace to take root, do you have eyebrows?"

"This ......" Zhuge Xuan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, there are some things that the old minister doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"This week, the mountains and seas are vast, but there is no place that can be called beautiful. There are indeed a few places in the vast seaplains, but there are few swimming fish, and the coral seaweed is almost dead, and it is desolate. ”

"What's going on?"

"This old minister can't say it. Zhuge Xuan shook his head and said: "But these days, the sons and daughters have reacted one after another, the sea water here is unbearable, even worse than the water of the Qingshui River." ”

Lu Zheng was silent for a while. Suddenly, it was somewhat understood that the ocean is a complete ecosystem, and seawater is the most important resource, but with the development of society, almost all countries tacitly discharge industrial wastewater containing poisons such as heavy metals, chemical raw materials, etc. into the ocean.

The rapid development of science and technology, the increasing tonnage of fishing boats, and the continuous improvement of fishing technology have led to a significant decline in the fishery resources of Zhoushan Fishery, so that the most famous Zhoushan big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker. In recent years, it has become a scarce resource.

Water pollution, the reduction of fish and shrimp, indirectly lead to the ecological environment in the sea is on the verge of collapse, if it continues. It will become the Dead Sea.

It is by no means alarmist, because the Newfoundland Fishing Ground, one of the world's four major fishing grounds named after the Zhoushan Fishing Ground, has completely collapsed the marine ecology, and the fish and shrimp have suffered a catastrophe. Plunged into irretrievable depression and ruin.

Sighing heavily, Lu Zheng smiled bitterly, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. As the Dragon King, he had to shoulder the responsibility of purifying the sea area of Zhoushan, because this was the East China Sea, where the Dragon Palace used to be.

Even for the sake of the dragon's pride, it is necessary to restore the glory of the Zhoushan Sea.

Reconstruction will not happen overnight, and it cannot be rushed. Lu Zheng looked at the dotted islands in the distance, and his heart moved, and a vague plan emerged.

Contracting islands.

Own an island of your own, build a base on the sea, and then open a passage from the island to the bottom of the sea, so that you can not only purify the sea from people's eyes and ears, but also stock the increasingly large number of shrimp soldiers and crabs in the sea to practice, patrol, and discover treasure.

Of course, with the Chinese system, Lu Zheng cannot really own property rights, and can only have the right to develop for fifty or sixty years.

Owner.

It sounds very lofty, but in fact it is difficult to develop, and the investment of human, material and financial resources is a huge amount.

However, the last thing Lu Zheng lacks is money, and the least distressing thing is money. Anyway, the sea is full of treasures, 100 million is not enough to smash 200 million, 200 million is not enough to smash 100 million, 1 billion is not enough, then smash 1 billion dollars.

Heaps of gold will also be piled up to build the most magnificent island in history.

As for after the expiration of the title?

Hehe, the Dragon Palace has already had a solid foundation, and without any strength or will, it can take away what belongs to the Dragon King, not a single brick.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng suddenly felt that the money in his pocket was not enough, and said in high spirits: "Let's go, let's go and see the sunken ship first." ”

Not far out to sea, the first shipwreck appeared.

On the desolate seabed, there are broken mast chimneys exposed, and a layer of blue-black sea mud is covered. The ships were made of steel, which should be of modern age.

After a brief inspection, Lu Zheng was a little disappointed, there were a lot of white bones and badly rusted guns on the ship, it was obviously a warship.

There were no looted treasures in the warehouse, and some of the corpses had necklaces, rings, gold and silverware, and two rusty pocket watches.

Basically, it is worthless, and as for those few pieces of private gold and silverware, Lu Zheng is not even interested in picking them up.

The second is a cargo ship, and it is a wooden structure, an ancient ship. However, apart from two boxes of copper coins and a large pile of tattered porcelain, nothing was found.

The copper coin is the Tianshun copper coin of the Ming Dynasty, and there are a small number of Hongwu copper coins, and the rust and erosion are also serious. The porcelain, which may have once been very valuable, is now broken into tiles and has little value.

It seems that not every shipwreck is as rosy as it seems.

I looked at two more in a row, which were inferior to the wooden boats of the warships, they were simply two fishing boats, and the only thing that was preserved was the tattered fishing nets.

Lu Zheng was disappointed, what about the golden ship that he said, and what he said about getting rich overnight, this is especially a cheat.

"Forget it, let's go directly to where Liu Neng is. ”

Lu Zheng is excited, the only thing he can count on is the shipwreck that Liu can find, it is very likely to be a Taiping ship, and it is a veritable treasure ship.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Gui, after swimming for more than ten minutes, Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, and a golden mountain was piled up in the sea area in front of him.

It is a real mountain of gold, two or three meters high, like a small pyramid, yellow, mixed with countless shining jewels, extremely conspicuous.

On the top of the golden mountain squatted Liu Neng with a purple and black carapace, it was full of jewels, and next to it was a large group of purple-black mantis shrimp.

"Ah......" Liu Neng lazily opened his mouth wide, and immediately a few mantis shrimp carried a seashell and handed it to the side of its mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, Xiaohuahua, Xiaoshanshan, you guys are doing very well. When His Majesty returns, Captain Pontus will give you a few kind words and reward you with a half-official position. ”

Liu Neng fiddled with a piece of gold, enjoying the surroundings of dozens of female mantis shrimps, and couldn't help but be poetic, and chanted deeply: "Ah...... I yearn for the boundless sea. Under my ass, the mountain of gold cultivates my sentiments with a light that is brighter than the sun. Little Flower Flower danced enthusiastically, Little Mountain smiled sweetly, and I couldn't help shouting in a hoarse voice: Come, more, I am willing to die honorably in the light of gold...... Yes......

"Ah, you ghost. ”

A shout rang out.

"Who, who dares to scold me?"

Liu Neng, who was full of the atmosphere of a ** greedy official, was a spirit, and when he saw Lu Zheng standing in front of him, he was so frightened that he crawled down from the golden mountain, and arched his head and said: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Lu Zheng fished two gold bars from the gold mountain, the length of the palm, the thickness of two fingers, the code number 4673, the fineness of 9900, the weight of 10007 city taels, the central mint.

Checking it in the palm of his hand, Lu Zheng looked at Liu Neng, who was bowing his head and drooping his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, Liu Duwei, gold is a mountain, and female shrimp are like clouds." It's okay to chant two poems, your little life is more nourishing than mine. ”

"The little ones are guilty. Liu Neng kowtowed.

"Get up. Lu Zheng looked over the golden mountain, landed on the huge shipwreck that protruded three or four meters from the seabed, and asked with a smile: "Is all this gold found in the shipwreck?"

Liu Neng hurriedly said: "Most of them are, and some of them are transported from another ship." The little ones were afraid that others would take away the gold, so they all transported it together, and guarded it day and night, not daring to relax for a moment. ”

Lu Zheng swam into the wreckage, inspected it, and dragged off a badge, a blue star, and an old-style pistol on the ground from a piece of white bone remnant clothing.

It seems that it should be the legendary Taiping Wheel. (To be continued......)
