With the development of the Renaissance movement, which began in the late Middle Ages, a thirst for commercial capital and wealth emerged in Europe.

At that time, the main trade object of Europe was the East, but the trade with the East was monopolized by Venice and Genoa, so the Western European countries decided to explore the route to the East by themselves, and the first to explore the eastern route was Portugal and Spain.

Portugal moved south, and after decades of operation, successively occupied the route along the western part of Africa, and when Vasco da Gama arrived in India via the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 and discovered a new route to the East, it was monopolized by the Portuguese.

Spain had to look west for a new route to the East, and by mistake, Columbus discovered the American continent in 1492, and Spain then launched a campaign of conquest and colonization of the Americas, eliminating the various empires established by the Indians in a very short period of time, and establishing extremely large colonies.

In 1494, through papal arbitration, Portugal also acquired a very large colony on the American continent east of 50 degrees west longitude, which would later become Brazil, while Spain controlled a vast area of the Americas except Brazil.

The regions conquered by Spain were rich in gold and silver, so large fleets loaded with these precious metals sailed from Cuba across the Atlantic to Europe.

It was also from this period that countless colonists' ships, carrying countless gold, silver and jewelry, were mercilessly sunk by the power of nature on the way.

For hundreds of years, the sea has displayed some treasures such as gold and silver coins from time to time, attracting explorers to explore, and even giving rise to professional treasure hunters.

Of course, many wealthy people will also use this method as leisure, and Tang Huan and Christina and his party belong to this category.

Beginning in the early 1960s, Spanish gold and silver coins appeared on Florida's beaches, setting off an enduring gold rush and the myth of getting rich.

Christina, the eldest lady who is used to luxury, naturally doesn't care about this kind of small probability event, she just thinks Tang Huan's idea is novel and interesting, so for this fun, she also applied for a salvage license seriously.

Tang Huan, who is currently located in Furlong Beach, Florida, is enjoying the sunshine while recalling his previous visit to the Onassis family's fleet, and although the Chinese have not traditionally had a strong maritime complex, he can't help but be a little obsessed with the spectacle.

As her thoughts drifted around, Christina, who was in hot shape, walked over and shouted delicately, "Don, help me get some sunscreen again." ”

Waiting for the girl to sit in front of her, Tang Huan smiled slightly, smelled the unique body fragrance, picked up the sunscreen and applied it skillfully, and from time to time she performed the techniques of traditional Chinese medicine massage, which was so comfortable that Christina's throat made a reverie sound.

The female ship king glanced back at Tang Huan with silky eyes, and reached out to stroke the stiff bulging thing between the man's legs provocatively.

Looking at the other party's urgency to become a good thing on this private beach, Tang Huan was unmoved, and the old god was still working on the ground.

How can it be easy to interact with a person with the status of a female ship king, especially if there is a relationship between men and women, whoever loses the initiative means that that party will be subdued.

"Honey, don't you have to endure it?" Christina said as she arched her hips back a few times.

"Top food, naturally, should be savored slowly and carefully." Tang Huan replied in a voice full of meaning.

The man and woman, each with different thoughts, were playing a game of wiping guns but not misfire, and James Cameron shouted in the distance, "Don, the man you are looking for is here." ”

At present, Cameron is still unknown, in order to support his family, he often receives some advertising business such as promotional videos from Zheru, and it happened that Tang Huan met him in the office building, and based on the bad taste of the big ship "Titanic" in his previous life, he invited him over.

In fact, in the original time and space, Cameron was a well-known diving enthusiast, and he conducted 72 deep-sea dives, 33 of which were to the wreck site of the Titanic.

During the filming of "Titanic" in 1997, Cameron dived under the sea 12 times to shoot the shipwreck.

Fifteen years later, Cameron took the "Deep Sea Challenger" submarine alone, spent two hours to reach the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean at a depth of nearly 11 kilometers, and stayed at the bottom of the sea for three hours, becoming the second underwater dive to reach the deepest seabed in human history, and the first person to reach there alone.

I have to say that Cameron is still very ambitious after becoming famous.

In this time and space, Tang Huan pulled Cameron to Florida beaches where treasure hunting is prevalent, and I don't know how it will affect his shooting concept, which is very interesting to think about.

Tang Huan gently pushed Christina away, took a towel and put it on his lap, and waved Cameron to lead the person over.

"You're the famous Mr. Mel Fisher?" Tang Huan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his skin was rough, no different from the navigators he had seen in the past few days, but his determined appearance with glasses seemed to show a certain difference.

"Yes." After Fisher finished answering, he also deliberately flashed the gold chain hanging around his neck and hanging down to his chest, "This is my salvage from 1975, it is six feet long, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it." ”

Fisher, a well-known treasure hunter, almost drowned when he dared to dive with homemade gear at the age of 12.

With the scientific and technological revolution of diving, the introduction of underwater self-sustaining breathing apparatus, i.e., scuba, the investment in diving is no longer so unattainable, which gives Fisher a great opportunity to show his skills.

As a young man, Fisher opened a diving school in California, and because of his fame, he was invited to search for a treasure ship that sank in the waters of Follong Bank in 1715, so he gambled for a year, and in 1963 he moved to Florida with his wife and four children.

This year's treasure hunt career was not smooth, the first 360 days found nothing, ruined the family, but in the last few days came a big discovery, found more than 1,000 gold coins, and suddenly went from hell to heaven, Fisher has since become a professional treasure hunter.

In the period that followed, Fisher was quite successful, but he was not satisfied, and set the target of the treasure hunt for the legendary Lady Atoka, which had carried countless treasures but sank to the bottom of the sea due to a hurricane.

Spanish treasure ships were most afraid of pirates and hurricanes, and in order to deal with pirates, each fleet was equipped with a sturdy "frigate" equipped with cannons, and the Lady Atoka was one such frigate.

In August 1622, a fleet of 29 ships on the Lady Atoka returned to Spain from South America loaded with treasure.

Since it was a frigate, everyone put the most valuable and most valuable treasures on the Lady Atoka.

Unfortunately, the Lady Atoka's cannons had no deterrent effect on the hurricane, and she did not escape the doom of being buried at the bottom of the sea.

At first, Fisher explored the waters off MatteCamber Island in the Florida Keys, but found nothing.

By chance, Fisher received guidance from Florida historian Eugene Lyons to not only determine the authenticity of the Lady Atoka, but also roughly locate the area where it sank, near the Marques Islands, more than 100 miles southwest of Mattecampor Island.

Unfortunately, it used to be a Navy range, which caused problems for magnetometer detection, and they found refrigerators, Volkswagens and even trains, but there was no treasure.

By the summer of 1971, Fisher's treasure hunt team had explored 175,000 miles of seabed, but still made no progress.

In their desperation, they found an anchor, some silver coins, and a six-foot gold chain, the one that Fisher now wore around his neck.

After identification, the age of these items was similar to that of the Lady Atoka, and some investors began to believe in this persistent treasure hunter.

In July 1975, Fisher's son, Dirk, who was already the captain of the diving ship Boreas, discovered a rare and precious bronze cannon, and the treasure hunt made significant progress.

But disaster struck, and that night, the North Wind sank, killing Dirk, his wife, Angel, and a diver, Rick Gage.

The grief-stricken Fisher family discussed whether to continue the seemingly long treasure hunt, and finally decided not to give up, and a few months later the work began again, but to this day, except for a few treasures and crafts, there is still no progress.

In the original time and space, this process continued for another five years, until July 20, 1985, when part of the wreckage of the Lady Atoka was discovered.

As a result, the Fisher family received a huge return worth more than $500 million, some of which weighed 88 pounds, or nearly 40 kilograms, which is really staggering.

But this huge amount of precious metals was not received by the bank, and it also led to legal disputes with Florida, and the reason for this is self-evident.

Tang Huan looked at Fisher's gold chain, laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand very cooperatively.

Fisher very skillfully held up the gold chain that had been pulled several times, and placed it on Tang Huan's palm little by little, while carefully observing his expression, but he did not find the kind of fanaticism that ordinary people had for gold.

Tang Huanyun was light and light, and his palms did not move.

When the length of the gold chain in his hand was still twenty or thirty centimeters, Fisher suddenly let go of his hand, and with a bang, the whole gold chain hung down, which was a trick he often played, and many people's performance at this moment was very dramatic, and it could even be said to be a certain philosophy.

Tang Huan's hand was still firmly held in the air, and he held the gold chain steadily, stopping the downward momentum when he saw that it was about to touch the ground.

Fisher was dumbfounded, this didn't seem to make sense, when did his gold chain become lighter?

"The heavy gold gives people the feeling that it is really fulfilling." Tang Huan smiled happily.
