Chapter 521: It's Not Too Rewarding Treasure Hunt
A lonely undersea shipwreck has emerged ahead.
Oh my God, there's a shipwreck here!
Is that what great white sharks really brought themselves here for?
Hey shipwreck!
Hey treasure!
Brother Huanxi's mind immediately popped up with such thoughts.
An ancient shipwreck, which hides a large amount of gold and silver treasures, boxes of gold, boxes of silver.
Brother Huanxi's saliva was about to flow out when he thought of this.
Wait until the daylilies are cold.
Brother Huanxi immediately used his fastest speed to quickly approach the whirring shipwreck.
If this speed is put into the Rio Olympics, other athletes can basically only look at his back in despair.
It's crazy.
God knows how long this swoop has been sleeping here, and the entire hull is in tatters and rotting.
This should be a sailboat, and Brother Huanxi definitely doesn't know the specific year.
And what caused it to sink, pirates, hurricanes, and these will probably have to wait for the resurrection of the ship's owner to give an answer.
Brother Huanxi approached the wreck.
The hull is very large, and Brother Huanxi swam around, and it was preliminarily determined that the ship had four floors.
Four-story guys, how big is that!
Brother Huanxi made a gesture to Xiaopang, and Xiaopang immediately understood, and quickly swam over with the group of candlelight fish.
The expedition has finally reached the substantive stage.
And it's the place that interests Brother Huanxi the most.
He had found the treasure of Galdan under the great lake, but the treasure of the sea had never been found.
This is Brother Huanxi's first real ocean treasure hunting experience.
Swam to the top of the shipwreck, good fellow, the first thing that catches your eye is a cannon.
is in the bow position.
Although the history of Brother Huanxi is not very good, judging from the degree of decay of the ship, the age is very far away. So this cannon may be the Hongyi cannon or the Franc machine mentioned in the books?
If that's really the case. Then it is very likely that this shipwreck is from the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty's?
Brother Huanxi's eyes lit up again.
You don't need to find more other treasures, if you can find a few Ming Dynasty porcelain, then you will make a fortune!
Where there is profit, there is motivation.
Brother Huanxi accelerated his treasure hunt process.
Chubby is very strange, what is Brother Huanxi doing there? Swimming around, looking excited.
Isn't it just a beautiful wreck?
Hmph, how can you understand the greed of human beings?
The first layer of Brother Huanxi didn't find anything substantial, and all that could be seen everywhere were weapons such as artillery. Some are very small, while others are large and heavy.
What are you going to do with these things? It's so bulky and so big, and if you take it to land, the public security bureau has to arrest you.
Brother Huanxi suddenly thought of a very serious question, this is not a warship from the Ming Dynasty, right? If it is really what he guessed, it has no value.
Can you find anything of value from a warship?
Hopefully, this is an armed merchant ship, and in the end it was unfortunately shipwrecked.
Brother Huanxi prayed secretly.
There was really nothing to be found on the first floor, and Brother Huanxi began to swim towards the second layer.
The second level was a bit laborious to enter, and the deck door was tightly closed. And it's very tightly closed. If it weren't for Brother Huanxi's strength, it would not be comparable to ordinary people. I'm afraid there is no way to get in the sea at all.
It must be so well protected, there must be countless treasures hidden inside!
Brother Huanxi's heart regained hope!
But good intentions are always defeated by the harsh reality.
Mom! Before swimming to the second floor, Brother Huanxi was so frightened that he almost screamed.
Big brother, what are the bodies floating in the water?
Bones!
The water here is full of bones.
What is this?
Good sealing measures on the outside ensure the presence of these white bones.
The frightened Brother Huanxi can even imagine such a scene:
The ship, which I don't know if it was a warship or an armed merchant ship, was slowly sailing on the sea. Soldiers or sailors rest on the second floor, some may be chatting, some may be missing their relatives back home.
But at this time, the shipwreck happened unprepared.
The sea rushed in. The sailors here tried desperately to rush out, but the outside door was tightly shut. There was simply no way for them to leave.
So they could only cry for help in despair and run around in despair.
But the sea gradually and mercilessly flooded them.
As soon as tragedy happened, the big ship sank, and most of the sailors on board were killed.
Brother Huanxi guessed not wrong at all this time.
This ship was a giant fortune ship on the sea during the Ming Dynasty.
There are also two types of ships: official and civil.
The ship's unique twin rudder design allows it to advance and retreat freely in both shallow and deep seas, making it extremely powerful in combat. It is best suited for offshore trade and is a treasure ship that both merchants and pirates alike.
As for how this giant of the sea was shipwrecked, I'm afraid no one can answer.
At the bottom of the sea, Brother Huanxi has no way to bury these victims. But since they are sailors, perhaps the sea is their best burial place.
Walking through the bones. Brother Huanxi has a creepy feeling.
A number of weapons were scattered, including swords, guns, bows and arrows, including a large number of musket guns.
These are still of little use to Brother Huanxi.
It was also roughly clear that this was definitely not a warehouse, but a rest room for sailors.
The first and second layers are not fruitful.
Brother Huanxi had to put all his hopes in the last two layers.
It also took a lot of effort to enter the third floor.
As soon as he entered, when he saw the scene in front of him, Brother Huanxi's eyes immediately radiated a bright light.
You can see a mouthful of boxes everywhere inside!
This is the real treasure!
Rich, rich!
I really made a fortune this time!
Brother Huanxi swam to a box very quickly.
Open the box firmly.
Well, what is it?
Arrows, it's a box full of arrows!
Top dog. What do I want these arrows for?
It doesn't matter, there are so many boxes!
Brother Huanxi of your family doesn't believe that they are all weapons.
But again:
The reality is often harsh.
I opened one box after another, and it turned out that it was all weapons!
Brother Huanxi cried with a sad face.
What is this for? I found a shipwreck with great difficulty, and I went to the third floor with great difficulty, and what I found was a huge ancient weapons depot?
His gaze fell on the last unopened box.
God, let me discover a chest of treasure!
Opened it. Brother Huanxi was dumbfounded.
This time it wasn't a weapon he had found, it was worse than a weapon.
A box of bricks!
It's not an ordinary brick, and it's certainly not a gold brick!
Pick up a piece and pinch it gently, and the whole brick is completely rotten.
This is indeed not an ordinary brick, but a fire brick, a weapon used in ancient warfare.
Because no one touched it, it looked good on the outside, but it was soaked in seawater for a long time. The interior has long been completely muddy.
What else can we say about Brother Huanxi?
There are so many boxes, and there is no use!
Although Brother Huanxi no longer counted on the last layer, he still swam in listlessly.
Sure enough, as expected, this is where the shipwrights worked, and the human movement drove the huge fortune ship forward.
In addition to the white bones, there are some ballast items.
Is it in vain?
The stupid Brother Huanxi actually didn't know that although the weapons and objects scattered here were not treasures, they were of great help to historical research.
For example, a Ming Dynasty firearm or a Hongyi cannon can often be sold for a good price in the auction market, and many history lovers are willing to pay a high price for it!
It's a pity that our brother Huanxi only has those treasures in his eyes!
Never mind. Forget it, it's a failed treasure hunt.
Brother Huanxi, who sighed, began to return upwards.
When passing through the second floor. Brother Huanxi occasionally looked to the side, and suddenly found that there was a separate small room at the end of the cabin that he had not entered.
Although it can already be completely judged that this is a warship, it has nothing to do with armed merchant ships, and there will be no more treasures, but since they have already explored so many places, they don't care about wasting some time to look at it again.
Without the slightest hope, he swam to the room. Slammed the door open, looking furious.
The little fat who has been following closely behind is really helpless, what is Brother Huanxi doing swimming around here?
Treasure, my dear little fat, can you understand the human desire for treasure?
This was supposed to be the room where the officers were staying. No bones were found, and it is estimated that the officers who lived here at the time of the shipwreck had already left.
In one corner of the room there was a box made of wood material, which had also rotted on the outside.
Brother Huanxi picked up the box and opened it without much effort.
A short-barreled musket.
And it turned out to be a gun handle made of ivory, with three gems inlaid on it.
This kind of gun is used for decoration and appreciation, and the significance of it is greater than that of actual combat.
After all, it didn't run in vain.
Even if Brother Huanxi didn't know anything about these guns and weapons, the ivory and gems on them were definitely worth a lot of money.
What's more, so many years have passed?
The hapless ghost officer probably panicked when he fled, and he didn't even want such a precious thing.
Yes, yes, at least this trip will not be empty-handed.
There are still a few words engraved on the gun, and Brother Huanxi has no time to study it in the sea.
Swimming out with this ivory firearm, Chubby was already impatient to wait outside.
Swimming out together, while swimming Brother Huanxi, he thought there:
Although the harvest of this trip is not very large, but God knows how many more such shipwrecks there are in the sea?
As long as you can successfully find one of them, it will be amazing.
Brother Huanxi began to move his mind to search for the treasure of the shipwreck all over the world!(To be continued......)
