The cook on board looked at the fish and explained: "This is a kind of grouper, called East Star Grouper, which has been known as the four famous fish in China since ancient times.
The eastern star grouper is a valuable species of grouper.
The meat is very delicious and chewy, whether it is steamed or stewed, it is rare and delicious, and it is very nutritious. β
Wei Xiong nodded,
He said with a sense of accomplishment: "I have decided, I will steam this eastern star spotted at noon today, which is just enough for so many of us to eat." β
Cui Wan'er picked up another net basket: "I'll try it too,
Maybe I'll catch a big fish too. β
Chen Feifei, who was wearing plastic gloves on her hands, teased the fish in the box and said, "The chef said that it tasted delicious, so let's stew the soup." β
Wei Xiong smiled: "It's not simple?
Since our little Feifei wants to drink fish soup, then my uncle will catch another one. After that, he stretched the net basket into the water and threw himself into the great business of catching fish again.
The other four speedboaters saw that Wei Xiong's fishing method was effective,
Immediately followed suit,
The situation immediately changed a lot, and it didn't take long for Li Jiaxin to hear the cheers of catching a fish, and after a while, Zeng Huaqian also caught it.
β¦β¦
After ten o'clock, the sun rises higher and higher,
The sun is also becoming more and more toxic
How could the women who loved beauty be able to stand the exposure of their white angelica skin to the sun, so the fishing competition came to an end temporarily.
The crowd gathered on the aft deck to count the results.
The result was naturally that Wei Xiong's group won, and Chen Feifei said excitedly: "We won, and there are two of them that I caught, it seems that this one,
And this one. β
Cui Wan'er was not to be outdone: "I caught three, more than you, and all of them are bigger than you." Wei Xiong smiled: "Okay, you two are heroes. β
Five groups caught a total of 26 fish,
Groupers are the main ones, the big ones are forty or fifty centimeters, the small ones are one or twenty centimeters, and there are five large crabs and four lobsters.
According to the ship's cook, these are edible.
After catching so much seafood, a sumptuous seafood feast is naturally indispensable at noon. And after the fishing tournament, the Earl was restarted.
After a day of sailing,
By 3 p.m. the next day, the Earl, guided by a tugboat, slowly sailed into the port of Singapore, and according to the plan, the Earl would stay for three hours.
The main purpose is to refill fuel and stock up on daily necessities.
After leaving Singapore, the Earl will not stop on the way, and the fuel is still this time, and it will not be a problem to fly to Abradis Island.
But all kinds of fresh food must be replenished,
For example, ingredients and fruits.
The Port of Singapore is located in the southern coastal area of Singapore, bordered by the southeast side of the Straits of Malacca to the west and the north side of the Straits of Singapore to the south.
It is the largest entrepot in the Asia-Pacific region.
It is also one of the largest container ports in the world.
This shows how busy it is. When the Earl slowly docked on a dock, a large number of people from the vicinity immediately gathered,
Among them are completely unfamiliar with the Earl,
There are also those who have seen or heard of the Earl in the newspapers, and they have gathered on the pier to watch this world-renowned super-luxury yacht.
As time went on, more and more people gathered,
Including many reporters who had just received the news and hurried over, this was the first time that the outside world had such a close contact with the Earl.
It is precisely because of the close look that the more you can feel the enormity of this superyacht.
However, some reporters couldn't help but wonder if the Earl's docking in Singapore had other purposes besides resupply.
Obviously, this time the Singaporean reporter is a bit of a catcher,
The Earl is only here to resupply.
β¦β¦
Three hours later, the replenishment was successfully completed, and the huge Earl slowly sailed out of Singapore Harbour under the watchful eyes of thousands of people at the docks.
Next, the Count will cross the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean.
Due to the narrow and busy waterway of the Strait of Malacca, it is not uncommon for passenger ships, oil tankers or container ships to pass not far from the Earl.
Therefore, during the drive in the Strait of Malacca, all the women reduced their outdoor activities.
For example, the swimsuit party has been changed from outdoor to indoor, and the indoor swimming pool on the Earl is no smaller than the outdoor one, and it is fully functional.
It took a whole day,
The Earl finally sailed out of the waters of the Strait of Malacca and into the vast Indian Ocean.
It then continued westward, and from here the speed of the ship dropped from 22 knots to 16 knots, which was already lower than the cruising speed of the Earl.
In this journey,
Wei Xiong and his daughters enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Indian Ocean, in addition to enjoying the facilities on the yacht and occasionally docking some uninhabited coral reefs.
Or a trip to the island,
Wei Xiong also used the submarine on the yacht to dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of dozens of meters with his daughters to explore the mystery and beauty of the seabed.
Even in the 21st century, with the development of science and technology,
Human beings' understanding of the sea (mainly referring to the deep sea) will not be much higher than that of the vast universe, and the sea is like an unknown treasure.
Waiting for humans to explore, to discover.
Secrets can be explored for the time being, the beautiful scenery of the seabed is enough to make anyone yearn for it, and even feel shocked.
Forty or fifty meters of the ocean floor is almost devoid of light,
Fortunately, there was a spotlight in front of the submarine, although it was not very far away, but it was enough for him to see the scenery within a few meters in front of the submarine.
Not to mention the installation of sonar equipment on the boat.
This depth can only be regarded as a shallow area compared to the deep sea of thousands of people, but in this water depth, the scenery is the richest.
The people saw many things that they had not seen,
For example, huge colorful corals, colorful and schools of small fish, transparent squid, strange-looking big-headed fish, and so on.
Even a scallop up to half a meter in diameter was found.
When he got back on the yacht, he told the two crew members who knew how to dive deep sea where he had found the scallops, and asked them to go into the water and fish them up.
The two put on the diving equipment and went down,
After more than ten minutes, the two crew members surfaced carrying a large scallop, which was the one Wei Xiong saw, which was really unbelievably big.
Originally, Wei Xiong wanted to dig up the scallops to see if there were any pearls in them.
Thinking about it later, I dispelled that idea.
It is undoubtedly very rare to accidentally catch such a large scallop in shallow water, and the appearance of this scallop looks very beautiful.
So he kept the scallops in the ornamental tank in the main living room.
This tank is embedded in a wall, 2 meters high, 5 meters long, and 1.5 meters wide.
Even if all the fish are emptied, it will be used to raise scallops.
But for the time being, it can only be settled.
On the afternoon of this day, the Count bypassed Sri Lanka and entered the Arabian Sea, but the Count did not go northwest, but due west.
That is, closer to the Maldives.
Wei Xiong was sunbathing comfortably on a lounger by the pool, wearing sunglasses on his face, through which he could see that his eyes were closed.
But in fact, his divine consciousness has long since extended,
His target was not anyone on the yacht, but the bottom of the sea, as he would have since crossed the Straits of Malacca, when he was fine,
Hope to find a shipwreck or something,
But it backfired.
Under normal circumstances, his divine consciousness can cover a maximum radius of two kilometers, but as soon as he enters the sea, he is greatly hindered.
It can only go deep for more than 100 meters at most,
At such a depth, even if you find a wreck, it is just an ordinary ship, and there is not a single treasure ship that carries gold and other valuables.
Of course, it's not all without gains.
Every time he used his divine sense to discover some beautiful or strange sea area, he would dive down in a submarine with his daughters to enjoy it.
In his divine consciousness,
All sorts of scenery and creatures flashed,
After more than ten minutes, there was still no gain, and just as he was about to retract his consciousness, suddenly a boat-shaped object entered his line of sight,
It should be a triangular bow to be exact.
Although it has lost its original color and appearance, it can still be clearly distinguished, and it is still a wooden bow.
The divine consciousness quickly swept around,
The back half of the ship was found more than ten meters from the bow of the ship, and half of the hull of both sections was covered with coral, sediment, aquatic weeds and other things.
There are some large copper pipes scattered all around,
Looking at the hull exposed in the water, it was clearly a sail battleship, and I don't know if it was sunk in an accident or sunk by other warships.
Then the consciousness entered the ship,
Some places are stuffed with silt and debris, while others become habitats for marine life, and there are all kinds of creatures.
Suddenly, his expression was stunned,
Immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc.
Originally, he just found the wreck and did a routine inspection, after all, the place where the sail battleship sank was only thirty or forty meters above the water.
And this sea area is not far from the Maldives.
I am afraid that the valuable things have long been looted, but the world is always unexpected, and he found something in the cabin,
And there are quite a few of them.
The women are either playing in the water, or doing a spa massage, or lying on the shore sunbathing, or drinking and chatting in front of the bar.
Only Lin Qingxia is serving Wei Xiong,
She was also the first to notice Wei Xiong's abnormality: "What's wrong?"
Wei Xiong took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "I found some good things." Lin Qingxia immediately asked curiously, "What good things?"
Wang Guxian, who was lying on another recliner next to him, also heard it,
He also turned his head and asked, "What good things have you found?" You have been lying here and have not looked for them, how can you find good things?"
Divine consciousness is still a secret to the women,
It's not that Wei Xiong deliberately concealed it,
It's that he didn't deliberately say it, and the women have never asked relevant questions, so for so many years, the women didn't know that Wei Xiong had divine sense.
I don't know that there is such a thing as divine consciousness.
Although they are all cultivating now, many of them have even stepped into the realm of 'refining and refining qi', but they are completely made up.
I only know a little about cultivation.
Wei Xiong smiled: "You'll know later." β
Chen Feifei swam over: "What's going on?" Wei Xiong reached out and pinched Chen Feifei's nose: "If you're curious, if you want to know, come here." β
At this point, everyone else's attention was grabbed.
Coming to the tail platform, Wei Xiong explained a few words to the two crew members who had dived a few times before, and then asked the two crew members to put on the equipment and dive.
He also dived,
But he didn't wear any equipment, and the depth of thirty or forty meters didn't make any impression on him at all, even if he stayed for a few hours.
This ability is undoubtedly contrary to human physiological common sense,
He wasn't worried about getting the word out, all the crew members on the ship had been trained by the East Factory, and everyone was absolutely loyal to Wei Xiong.
On the boat, Ouyang Yalan looked at the calm sea,
Good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and then turned to Chen Mengyao and asked, "What did you say the boss found?" β
Chen Mengyao shook her head: "I don't know."
But what can make the boss pay so much attention must be a good thing, and I can't wait. Why don't I guess and see who's right. β
Zeng Huaqian said: "My husband just talked about the shipwreck,
It was probably a very old ship, I guess it was, maybe it was a colonial-era treasure ship, and it was all gold. β
Wang Guxian immediately said: "You think too much.
My husband said that the wreck was only thirty or forty meters above the water, so shallow, if there was really a treasure ship, it would have been discovered by an unknown country. β
Zhong Chuhong said: "I think it's really possible that it's a treasure ship,
What could be on a normal shipwreck?"
There are those who support Zeng Huaqian, and there are those who support Wang Guxian, just when no one on either side can convince anyone, a head emerges from the water,
It's Wei Xiong!
Wei Xiong then walked up to the platform along the pedal deep into the water, holding two bottles of red wine, or rather, two bottles of red wine.
The packaging of these two bottles of red wine is quite complete.
But it looks old,
The paper attached to the bottle can only be seen in some vague handwriting and patterns, among which the logo of ChΓ’teau RomanΓ©e-Conti can be faintly recognized.
Everyone on board was surprised,
Li Ruotong looked at these two 'broken wine bottles' and asked suspiciously: "The good things you said are these two bottles of wine?
I guess I can't drink it for a long time. β
Wei Xiong washed the two bottles of wine in the bucket next to him: "These two bottles are just a part, there are other things, as for whether you can drink it?"
We'll find out when we try it. β
Wash off the dirt on the bottle carefully, so as not to damage the bottle packaging and the sticker on the bottle, the handwriting on it is much clearer.
Sure enough, it is the symbol of RomanΓ©e-Conti red wine,
And the year: 1788.
The logo and the year are not very corroded because they are metallic, and the handwriting below is only a vague imprint.
Some of them are completely invisible.
At this time, a crew member surfaced, also holding two bottles of red wine. Wei Xiong did not continue to enter the water, but answered on the boat,
Diving is very physically demanding.
Therefore, every time the crew went up, they would rest for a while and then go into the water, and after more than an hour, the two crew members each dived and surfaced seven times.
Each person can bring two bottles of red wine at a time.
plus the two bottles brought by Wei Xiong and one of the crew members to dive one more time, and brought the last bottle, a total of 31 bottles of red wine were salvaged.
All are RomanΓ©e Conti in 1788.
After the two crew members rested for a while, Wei Xiong dived again, and the two crew members followed, and after about ten minutes, Wei Xiong surfaced.
This time it's no longer red wine in hand,
It's a metal object.
Zhou Huimin was puzzled: "What is that, it seems to reflect the light?"
The others were also curious, and soon the answer was solved, and when Wei Xiong stepped on the platform, the women had already seen what was in his hand,
It turned out to be a crown,
The crown looks like it was made of gold, with a number of gems set in the front, and a ruby the size of a quail's egg in the center.
The whole is very delicate and beautiful,
However, whether it is gold or precious stones, the color is a little dull, it should be due to the corrosion of the sea for more than 200 years.
It needs to be restored to its former glory.
At this time, all the women's eyes widened, and they saw Zeng Huaqian say excitedly: "Wow, it's really a treasure ship, it's actually a crown!"
Wang Guxian didn't care if he guessed right or wrong,
There was a 'terrible' glint in his eyes staring at the crown: "Judging from the vintage of those wines, this crown is at least two hundred years old." β
Wei Xiong smiled: "There are still below." β
As soon as the words fell, one of the crew members fell into the water, holding an iron box in his arms, and when he got on the boat, the women immediately took the iron box.
It's full of all kinds of jewelry,
Another hour passed, it was almost dusk, and as the two crew members all boarded the ship, Wei Xiong checked the sinking ship with his divine sense,
Everything of value has been scooped up,
As for the barrels, muskets and other broken copper and iron, he didn't want any of them, maybe these things are valuable in the eyes of historians,
But that's for historians.
Finally, a total of 127 pieces of jewelry were retrieved, including 31 rings, 25 necklaces, 21 pairs of earrings, 16 pairs of bracelets,
11 pairs of anklets, 7 headdresses,
There are 7 nipples, 5 brooches, 1 waist chain, 1 scepter, 1 crown, and finally 1 pure gold chastity belt.
This chastity belt is undoubtedly a fine piece,
The locks on both sides are made meticulously and exquisitely, and the gold deck in front of them has a hollow design, and there are many exquisite patterns on it.
These 127 pieces of jewelry are all made of gold.
Supplemented by a variety of gemstones,
Some have more inlays, some less, like the crown, with at least 100 large and small gemstones, which can be called luxurious.
Regardless of historical value,
The material value of a single item is at least tens of millions of dollars, which is only a conservative estimate, and the actual value may be several times this number.
The women's eyes were dazzled.
But all the jewelry, like the crown that was first caught, looks old and needs to be restored by a professional institution.
