Chapter 403 The Steamboat Sino-American
After returning from Lop Nur for the New Year, Zhao Ran officially devoted himself to the search for the big compass key. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After months of searching, only the last key of the compass remained.
Zhao Ran was calculating the location of the last key through the big compass.
Just then, the phone rang.
When I picked it up, it was Senior Brother Lu Fei who called.
"Senior brother, do you have an answer to those text translations?"
Lu Fei is usually very busy with research, and generally speaking, unless there is something, he will not call anyone to chat 100%! Because in his opinion, this is a waste of life!
"Little junior brother, you guessed accurately, that's right, more than 80% of those words are basically translated, and the rest are difficult to translate words, I think the rest of the text will have to be translated at least until next year or more, you give me an email, and I'll send you something." Lu Fei said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
"It's a small thing, if there is such a good thing next time, don't forget me."
"Senior brother is polite, but at the end of this year or next year, my private museum will be opened, and there may be a lot of things in it that interest you." Zhao Ran said mysteriously.
"Oh? So amazing? If it were true, I'm afraid I'd live over there. Lu Fei quipped.
"No problem, you can stay as long as you want."
The two pulled their skins, and Zhao Ran reported the mailbox and ended the call.
More than ten minutes later, Zhao Ran opened the computer mailbox and found that there was indeed a document inside.
Download, unzip, browse.
Spread out the map and start guessing against the translated text.
Mayan hieroglyphs, even when translated, are still obscure.
Because you don't know if this translation is 100% correct, you have to know how to make trade-offs, make bold guesses, and carefully verify them.
"Huh? What does this text mean butterfly? This land is called a butterfly? β
Zhao Ran looked carefully on the map and found that there was a piece of land on the edge of the map, and there were several words on the land.
According to the translation, the meaning of this word is butterfly.
That is, this piece of land on the map is a place with many butterflies?
Zhao Ran immediately typed butterfly into the computer, but the meaning of butterfly was too broad, and he searched for a bunch of messy answers.
"Wait, butterfly, I think I've heard the master mention it...... Is it there? There is no point in searching aimlessly, stopping to think about it, he suddenly remembered a place, a country that is extremely representative of butterflies!
"Butterfly Country!"
He typed four large characters into the computer.
"Panama, the Land of Butterflies."
"Panama is located in the south of Central America, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the south and the Caribbean Sea to the north.
"Panama! Could it be that the treasure spot described on this map is the Panamanian sea? β
Opening the world map, Zhao Ran began to look for similarities in the waters of Panama.
"Sure enough, it's here! What treasures are there in the Panamanian seas? Pirate shipwrecks? Zhao Ran pondered.
This is the waters of the Americas, once colonized and a place where piracy was rampant, and there are countless pirates who have become famous from here.
With its vast sea area and numerous islands, it is a pirate's paradise.
The famous film Pirates of the Caribbean tells the story of the Caribbean Sea near Panama!
Of course, please don't tie the magical plot to reality!
"I'll go, the last key is also in this sea? Gotcha, lucky! β
Looking for the key again, Zhao Ran found that the last Liangzhou key was also here, and he had to say that he was really lucky.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day, Zhao Ran found Liu Meng.
"Are you sure this treasure map is real?" Liu Meng asked.
Zhao Ran said with a smile: "I promise, and I have parsed all these words, how?" Would you like to check it out? Why don't I go and find out first? β
Liu Meng gave him a blank look: "Who said I won't go?" The treasure hunt is still quite interesting. β
"So what more do you say? Pack up and go! β
"What are you in a hurry, it's not bad if the treasure hasn't been found for so long."
"Uh......" Zhao Ran is right to think about it, but it's not right, he has a small world, but Liu Meng doesn't know it......
Forget it, let her be, anyway, there's no rush for this time.
Three days later.
The Mengjiang departed from the port and headed for the waters of Panama.
Liu Meng set off in the name of tourism this time, and had already informed the Panamanian government in advance, so the journey was smooth.
Nineteen days later.
The Mengjiang arrived at the destination specified on the map, at the end of the Panamanian Sea.
Zhao Ran was lying on the bed in the room, but he didn't sleep, but used his abilities to constantly search for this treasure at the bottom of the sea.
"Found it! Thisβthis is ...... I'll go, a lot of gold! β
The treasure is indeed a shipwreck, and the cabin is full of gold.
Zhao Ran couldn't calculate how much this batch of gold was, but the batch of gold obtained by the Isaac family was not comparable to the one in the ship!
It's just too much!
"What the hell is this ship?"
Zhao Ran first judged that the ship was a Spanish gold ship during the colonial period, but in the end he vetoed it.
Because it was a steamboat, the first steamboat appeared in 1809.
The heyday of Spanish colonization was in the 16th century, which is not quite the right time.
Coupled with some signs on the ship, he even denied that this was a Spanish gold ship.
Instead, another name popped into his head.
With this name, Zhao Ran's heart began to beat slowly, and adrenaline was secreted extremely quickly.
Since 1849, the discovery of gold in California, USA, has set off a gold rush, and adventurers from the west and east have gathered here to fight, fight and bleed for an inch of mining land for eight years.
Eight years later, groups of people are ready to go home with the gold they have bought with their blood and sweat to end this cruel and dangerous day.
A large group of gold prospectors, armed with their wives and children, traveled thousands of miles from San Francisco to Panama, then across the Isthmus of Panama by mule cart, and finally returned to New York by boat.
The group gathered together, and on September 10, 1857, the day after they left Panama by boat.
The steamboat, which carried a lot of gold and 750 lives, went into serious trouble, the ship was severely overloaded, the hull draft was too deep, and a violent storm caused the steamboat to sink to the bottom of the sea and disappear in the storm.
At that time, many people were rescued, but many more died.
In the end, 423 people were buried at the bottom of the sea along with the immeasurable amount of gold, and where they went to this day is still a mystery!
It is the "Sino-American" steamship, which is known as one of the world's top ten treasures!
After some careful investigation, Zhao Ran also found evidence, in the hull and cabin.
Indeed, there is a name and logo printed on the steamboat Sino-American.
"Good guy, it's really going to be sent this time." Zhao Ran looked excited.
The Zhongmei can build another shipwreck museum with this, which is definitely another discovery that shocks the world!
At noon, Zhao Ran and Liu Meng ate in the restaurant.
Liu Meng said: "Brother Zhao, according to the map, the treasure should be near here, but I just asked people to go to the sea to explore, and the bottom of the sea is completely empty." β
The sea here is not deep, and it is only 180 meters when it is full, so it really doesn't look like a place where there will be treasures.
The location of the Zhongmei is close to a depth of 25 meters in the silt on the seabed, which is why it has not been found for so long.
Twenty-five meters deep in silt, ordinary people can't dig it until they die!
"Don't worry, Liu'er, I've found the treasure, and there are some things I want to tell you."
Zhao Ran plans to tell Liu Meng some secrets about himself.
The Mengjiang is a traveling cruise ship, not a salvage ship, and this trip he has to do it himself.
"Oh? What is so mysterious? Liu Meng asked curiously.
"Come with me."
in the room.
Zhao Ran held Liu Meng's hand, and with a turn of mental power, the two disappeared.
In the small world, two figures appeared.
"This is ......" Liu Meng looked at everything around him a little confused.
"To use the explanation in the novel, this is my inner world." Zhao Ran explained: "Because of special reasons, I have obtained some special abilities, and this small world is part of the ability, and I can grow so fast by relying on these abilities......"
Liu Meng had been listening quietly, but it could be seen from her shrinking pupils that her heart was not at peace.
"Liu'er, there are some things I can tell you, but there are some things I can't tell you, I can only say that you are the person I value very much, and you attach great importance to it!" Zhao Ran was very serious.
Liu Meng was silent for a moment, then leaned forward slightly, leaned on Zhao Ran, and stretched out his right hand to touch his cheek.
"You know my heart, why don't you dare to admit it?"
Zhao Ran was shocked, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, this is ...... What's the situation?
"Liu'er, I ......"
"Shh Liu Meng stretched out his finger to his lips: "Don't speak, you know my thoughts." β
Zhao Ran stretched out his hand, trembling a little, wanting to hug but not daring to hug.
Zhao Mo's figure has been floating in his mind, is this a betrayal?
"Brother Zhao, it's really uncomfortable to fall in love with you, because I know that I can't possess you alone, and she won't allow me to possess you alone." Liu Meng leaned his head on his shoulder and said faintly.
"Liu'er, I ......" Zhao Ran struggled a little.
"You don't need to be entangled, you should know your identity very well, the rules of the world have long been unsuitable for you, in fact, I have been in contact with Zhao Mo for a long time, you are attracted to her, but I am attracted to you, I don't know myself, what is good about you, but I can't extricate myself from attracting me."
"......" Zhao Ran was completely stunned.
"Brother Zhao, I don't plan to run away anymore, you hate it or like it, there's no need to continue to hide, right? Tell me, leave Zhao Mo aside, have you ever been tempted by me? β
"Liu'er, don't play with fire......" Zhao Ran blushed and was short of breath.
"Is that there? That's nice. Liu Meng smiled sweetly.
Zhao Ran was stunned again for a moment.
Liu Meng leaned his head slightly, and his rosy lips were glued together.
For a long time, the lips parted.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Zhao Ran went into the water wearing a diving suit.
Descending to the bottom of the sea, the ground is full of silt.
It's definitely no fun to dig, and if you want to dig 25 meters of silt in a heavy wetsuit on the bottom of the sea, it's simply impossible!
But he has another way, and that is to use space to teleport at a fixed point!
On the mud, Zhao Ran disappeared suddenly, and he could no longer be seen around.
Under the silt, about ten meters or so, Zhao Ran's figure appeared.
But it's uncomfortable, it's no different from being buried alive.
Two more teleportations, Zhao Ran teleported his body into the cabin.
The cabins were also full of mud, but there were still some places that were empty.
The wetsuit has been completely overrun by silt.
Fortunately, he has a special ability, which hinders him from being afraid.
Taking off his gloves, Zhao Ran touched his hand to the cabin floor.
In the next second, the entire Zhongmei was taken into the small world by him.
The bottom of the ocean also collapsed, stirring up the water to become extremely turbid.
After a few more teleportations, Zhao Ran came out of the ground, shook off the mud on his body, and slowly swam to the sea.
On deck.
Liu Meng asked, "Succeeded?" β
Zhao Ran nodded: "This diving suit is really good." β
"It's good if it's successful, take me in later." Liu Meng smiled: "You go wash first." β
Zhao Ran went back to the room to take a shower, and then took Liu Meng into the small world.
Looking at Liu Mengjiao's good figure, Zhao Ran was a little resentful.
The relationship between the two is confirmed, but he can watch it and not eat it!
The reason is the chaotic airflow in Liu Meng's body, if the two of them are ashamed, the chaotic airflow will explode 100%!
Zhao Mo couldn't eat too much, and Liu Meng had another time bomb in his body.
Sad, so sad!
The silt on the Zhongmei was cleared back into the sea by Zhao Ran several times, so it looked pretty good.
The whole steamboat is 100 meters long.
The deck is full of traces of erosion by time and the environment.
The cabin was full of gold, and the corpses in the ship were cleared out by Zhao Ran.
The gold on the ship is not pure because it has not been refined, but it is rare to have a large amount.
And more importantly, its historical significance, which is unmatched by gold on the market.
Zhao Ran imagined that when it appeared in the museum, it would definitely shock the world.
At the same time, I am afraid that it will also cause some trouble, after all, there are hundreds of tons of gold here, no matter which country will not easily ignore it!
But he's not afraid, someone is behind him, and he's really not afraid of being troubled!
"It's ......"
"This is the Sino-American steamboat, one of the top ten treasures in the world!"
"Oh? This is the legendary Sino-American? Interesting. β
"Liu'er, let's discuss what do you think?"
"What are you discussing?"
"I plan to use this ship to build a shipwreck museum, in this case, the gold in it ......" Zhao Ran blushed a little, this map was originally Liu Meng's, and it had nothing to do with him, although it was the answer he solved, but he was also taking advantage of others, and this batch of gold was a lot......
"Come on, if you want to take it, you still need to ask me about this little matter of our current relationship?"
"Liu'er, I ......"
"Don't talk about it, but I don't think you have to put the boat back in the sea and take a picture seriously, or it's hard to explain how you got here."
"Khan, forgot ......" Zhao Ran touched his head.
Liu Meng giggled on the side.
