46 Song Dynasty shipwreck

There is also a stone tablet with some text that also mentions the city of Berkeley,...... In the twelfth year, Lord Magalio, who received a fifth-class irise, was appointed governor of Berkeley.

In the text, the Koro Isthmus is now the Strait of Malacca, and the Koro Isthmus is marked on nautical charts.

The wood with the fragrance is the red sandalwood produced in India, because the aroma of red sandalwood sandalwood, the aroma lingers, can refresh the mind, the wood of red sandalwood is dense, the grain is fine, loved by the Cretian people, it is a precious wood, from the city of Berkeley to the city of Kretia through the Strait of Koro The treasure ship carries not only boxes of treasure, but also carries a piece of red sandalwood.

Opening the nautical charts rubbed from the stone slabs, the city of Berkeley is located in the Horn of India.

On the 2nd, Chen Yan arrived in Thiruvananthapuram and found a local guide named Cha Baba.

India was a British colony, and Chababa spoke English.

……

----

Berkeley is a harbor city that was certainly built on the coast. This is the first clue to find the city of Berkeley.

According to research, the city of Hailis did not sink to the bottom of the sea because of the tsunami caused by the earthquake, but the sea rose and submerged the city at the bottom of the sea.

At the end of the Cretian civilization, probably the Ice Age, the sea level was 5,60 meters lower than it is now.

After the ice age, the earth's temperature returned to the fog, and the ice on the continents melted, raising the sea level by 5.60 meters, thus submerging the coastal cities of the Cretian civilization such as the city of Hellis, Berkeley, and so on.

The city of Berkeley may also be submerged under the sea.

Chen Yan collected information from the waters near the Horn of India and locked the search for Berkeley City at a depth of 50 to 60 meters.

Treasure hunting is not a simple task, it requires a fine mind, a wealth of knowledge, and a lot of information.

Under the contact of Cha Baba, Chen Yan rented a sailboat.

Sailboats sail on the sea.

Chen Yan moored the sailboat to the sea and then dived into the sea.

The water is clear, and the sunlight shines through the seawater, forming circles of light on the sand on the bottom of the sea.

Chen Yan walks on the bottom of the sea.

One of the abilities given to Chen Yan by the Spirit Water Bead is that Chen Yan can breathe underwater and swim around in the sea like a fish.

Another ability is that Chen Yan can dive into the depths of the seawater, and the faint light released by the spiritual water beads envelops Chen Yan's body, which can resist the huge pressure of the seawater.

Visibility on the seabed is 20 meters.

Chen Yan took out a strong flashlight, and the flashlight penetrated the seawater and irradiated the seabed.

The underwater world is full of colorful and strange marine life.

A sea serpent appears in the range of the flashlight.

The sea snake has a circle of white rings.

This is a ringed sea serpent, highly venomous.

……

The environment of the sea water is closed, and staying for a long time makes people feel oppressed.

Chen Yan stayed at the bottom of the sea for a while, and he would surface to take a breath.

Chen Yan was swimming around in the sea like a fish, and suddenly, Chen Yan felt a huge fluctuation in the surrounding seawater, and Chen Yan turned his head to see that it was an Indian submarine diving.

Suddenly, Chen Yan saw the submarine falling uncontrollably, and Chen Yan knew that the submarine had fallen deep.

"Falling deep" is a situation that is often encountered during submarine navigation, due to the different density of sea water in various places.

The submarine is trying to get rid of the depths. However, the submarine still involuntarily fell into the deep seabed, and the hull disintegrated under the huge pressure of the sea.

Chen Yan watched all this dumbfounded.

Chen Yan couldn't save people, because the submarine fell into the bottom of the sea at a depth of several thousand meters, and all the people died after the boat disintegrated.

In the previous life, there were no reports of the Indian submarine falling into depth, presumably because the Indian government concealed the news.

Chen Yan swam over, dived to the bottom of the sea at a depth of several thousand meters, and saw the hull of the boat being torn apart.

Chen Yan recognized the model of this submarine at a glance, the Scorpene-class submarine.

……

Chen Yan continued to search the city of Berkeley under the sea.

1 day passed.

2 days passed.

……

A week passed.

Chen Yan was extremely tired and stayed in the claustrophobic sea for a long time, psychologically depressed and claustrophobic.

Returned to shore and rested for two days.

There was no news on the Indian Internet that a Scorpene-class submarine had fallen into depth, and the news was concealed by the Indian government.

Chen Yan continued to search the city of Berkeley under the sea.

……

Another week passed.

this day.

Chen Yan was swimming in the sea like a fish, and the strong flashlight shone on the bottom of the sea below, and suddenly a tilted wooden-hulled shipwreck appeared within the range of the flashlight, and Chen Yan's spirit was shocked.

Chen Yan swam over.

It was a wreck, wooden-hulled, half-buried in the mud of the seabed, with its bow raised high.

Chen Yan was still unsure what era this ship was, and he didn't know what harvest this wreck could bring him.

It's likely to be a white rejoicing.

You must know that silk, cloth, paper, and other organic matter will be soaked in seawater, and iron will rust away.

Half an hour later, Chen Yan found a bronze coin of the Northern Song Dynasty and Tongbao before preliminarily determining that the shipwreck might be a shipwreck of the Song Dynasty.

Maritime trade was developed in the Song Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, China had the largest sailing fleet and merchant fleet in human history, and frequently sailed to Arabia, East Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and East Asia to Japan and Korea.

An hour later, Chen Yan opened the cargo hold, which had been buried in the silt.

The cargo hold is entirely porcelain.

"This could be the discovery of a great treasure. Chen Yan immediately realized.

Due to the shock when the ship sank, some of the porcelain shattered, and most of the porcelain was neatly stacked and buried in the mud.

Chen Yan collected these porcelains into the Lingshui Bead Space.

Due to the difference in the expansion coefficient of the glaze and the fetal soil caused by the change of underwater temperature, the shrinkage of "Hailao porcelain" is inconsistent, and the glaze cracks, and fine ice cracks and black spots will appear in the glaze layer of porcelain.

In addition, after Hailao porcelain is exposed to the air for a long time and is dried, the salt that has been immersed in the body of the vessel will continue to precipitate from it, resulting in cracking of the glaze layer and causing peeling from the carcass.

It must be dehydrated and desalination immediately, and this matter is urgent.

Find a professional person to do it as soon as possible and deal with it carefully.

The dehydration and desalination of porcelain can only be done in China, and there is rich experience.

———

Chen Huaqiang, a researcher at the National Center for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage, came to work in the morning, and as soon as he entered the office, he was called to a meeting.

Director Zhao Yang sat in the middle of the conference table, and there were more than 20 people sitting densely on both sides.

"All of you here have professional knowledge and rich experience in the dehydration and desalination treatment of Hailao porcelain, so I convened everyone to have a meeting, and just received an 'order', someone asked us to dehydrate and desalinate a batch of Hailao porcelain in the Song Dynasty for 2 million. Zhao Yang said.

As soon as the words were finished, the conference room was in a mess, you know, they are all experts in Hailao porcelain, how can they not know, a Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain shipwreck is nothing, especially a large number of porcelain goods, because of the large quantity, an ordinary Ming and Qing Dynasty Hailao porcelain is worth about a few hundred yuan, if the Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain shipwrecks are small treasures, then, a Song Dynasty porcelain shipwreck is a great treasure.

Zhao Yang continued, "You can leave now, take a plane to Dinghai, the ticket has been booked, the 10:20 plane, it is just noon to Dinghai, the other party has a lot of money, the round-trip ticket is all inclusive, you may have to stay in Dinghai for 5 months, each month the other party subsidizes 10,000 yuan per person for living expenses, if any of you don't want to go, you can quit." ”

In 2010, the monthly salary of a part-time job in Shenzhen was 900, and their salary was 34,000 yuan, with a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan per person, which was equivalent to their salary for several months.
