Chapter 593: Go down and find out

PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.

"Got it."

Yu Feibai's dedication to treasures, Wang Guan had already seen it, so he must have been prepared, and when he stretched out his hand, he touched his pocket and took out the jade wrench.

The moment he saw the jade wrench, Yu Feibai couldn't wait to grab it, and then watched it carefully.

"It's really the best chanterelle."

At first glance, Yu Feibai was amazed by the transparency of the jade and the warm feel, not to mention that under the reflection of the cabin lights, the jade wrench fingers flashed with a luster like mutton fat, which made him even more intoxicated.

"Don't forget to get down to business."

Fortunately, Tang Qinghua was calmer, and after pouring a cup of tea for each guest, he asked casually: "Where is the location of the wreck, let's go over and prepare first, and we can salvage it early tomorrow morning." ”

"Brother Gao......" Wang Guan turned his head to look at Gao Zhuang.

Gao Zhuang hesitated slightly, and directly reported the coordinates on the sea. At the same time, Tang Qinghua reported the coordinates to the captain through the walkie-talkie in the cabin, and leisurely tasted tea and talked and laughed with Wang Guan.

While everyone was chatting, the large yacht also slowly left the port, and after a while, it left the offshore sea and rode the wind and waves, and disappeared into the vast night sea in a blink of an eye. After a long time, the yacht slowly stopped and reached its destination.

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

Hearing the captain's report, Wang Guan immediately beckoned everyone to come out of the cabin and come to the deck to take a look.

Of course, I couldn't see anything clearly, and all around me was a pitch-black landscape, except for the howling of the sea breeze and the sound of surging waves. However, there are lights installed on the yacht, so you can scan the surroundings and barely see the general situation.

At the same time, Gao Zhuang also explained beside him: "This belongs to the sea area near Ningbo, and I have also asked people." In ancient times, Ningbo was a starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, and there were often cargo ships going to sea, so there were many shipwrecks in the sea. ”

"However, this place is relatively remote, and it is not within the range of the sea line."

Gao Zhuang's eyes revealed a bit of wisdom: "So I suspect that it should be that not long after the cargo ship set sail, it encountered a sudden wind and waves, and had no choice but to change course, but in the end it did not escape." ”

"Perhaps."

Wang Guan didn't care much about the reason for the sinking of the ship, but was curious about how Gao Zhuang found out that there was a shipwreck underneath.

"It's also an accident." Gao Zhuang hesitated. In the end, he told the truth: "Once we went fishing in the Ryukyu Islands, and then we were discovered, so we quickly turned around and ran away. In a panic, I ran here. It was night, and I came back empty-handed, and I felt unwilling to cast my net here......"

Speaking of this, Gao Zhuang was also a little lucky: "I didn't expect to go down the net and actually fish out some porcelain fragments." I didn't care at first. But there were more and more fragments, and I realized that there was something strange here. ”

Often running on the beach, Gao Zhuang naturally heard about the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, and saw so many porcelain fragments fished. Naturally, it is speculated that there is a shipwreck underneath. However, when he dived into the water, there was no sign of the shipwreck.

"I suspect the wreck must have been covered up by mud and sand." Gao Zhuang guessed: "However, the sediment layer on the bottom of the sea is very thick, and I don't have professional detection instruments, so it is a needle in a haystack to find the wreck." Nothing to gain. ”

"It doesn't matter, leave this kind of thing to the professionals." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "I have already contacted the good people, and they will come over early tomorrow morning." Now let's go rest and recuperate, and tomorrow we will start salvage......"

The yacht is very large, and there are naturally a lot of resting rooms, and after a few more conversations, everyone went to sleep.

After a short night, Wang Guan woke up with a burst of noise, and after a simple wash, he went out to take a look, only to see that there was a floating boat next to the yacht that seemed to be a platform.

At this time, Yu Feibai was in the floating boat, pointing fingers and talking about something.

"The salvage is coming?" Hearing the movement, Gao Zhuang also hurriedly walked out. Judging from the look on his face, he didn't seem to have slept well last night, his eye bags were a little swollen, and he probably didn't sleep all night. However, at this time, he was also a little energetic, and the corners of his mouth flashed with an excited smile.

After all, everything is false, and only when the sunken ship is salvaged is a real benefit.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Wang Guan smiled and nodded, and then walked to the pontoon boat through the board bridge on the yacht.

"Wang Guan, come and get to know Master Jiang."

Yu Feibai also saw Wang Guan coming, and immediately raised his hand to greet: "Master Jiang is an expert in salvaging shipwrecks, and the salvage and excavation of Wanjiao No. 1 back then had a credit from Master Jiang. ”

"It's just a matter of getting started." Master Jiang smiled lightly, he was about fifty years old, his body was a little thin, his hair was long and he wore a pair of black glasses, but he had a bit of a bookish atmosphere.

As an expert in this area, Master Jiang is also a little arrogant, and generally speaking, he definitely disdains to take on private work. But I don't know what relationship Yu Feibai has to go through, so he actually invited him over.

Of course, it was really please, and the most gentle means were taken, moving with affection and inducing them to benefit. Anyway, Master Jiang took this trip voluntarily, otherwise, he would not have shown a faint smile on his face, but would have a straight face.

After a few words of greeting, Master Jiang didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Is it true that a porcelain fragment was found nearby?" ”

"...... right"

Gao Zhuang nodded hurriedly and compared the approximate range. After all, this is the sea surface, and there is no specific reference nearby, so I can only draw an approximate range.

Master Jiang also understood, and asked again: "What about the things that were salvaged, bring them to me to see." ”

"This ......"

This question just hit Gao Zhuang's sore spot, and it made his face collapse in an instant. After all, he didn't feel at ease about leaving his things at home, so he left it on the fishing boat, but the fishing boat was robbed, which caused him a lot of losses. In fact, if he hadn't even lost his capital, he wouldn't have decided to choose to cooperate with Wang Guan so quickly.

"Stuff sold."

Wang Guan brushed it aside from the side, and then said with a smile: "But I have seen those things, and there are many celadon in them, which seem to be the works of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

"Southern Song Dynasty shipwreck......" Master Jiang groaned, and he didn't suspect anything. You must know that if it weren't for the physical clues, Yu Feibai would not have been able to mobilize people to come over to help salvage.

Of course, as for whether the salvage has any results, this is not a question that he should be concerned about.

Comparatively speaking, salvaging a shipwreck is certainly much more difficult than archaeological excavation. Archaeology is relatively simple, as long as the approximate range is determined, then dig directly, you will always find some clues, and there is a chance that you can find ancient tombs.

However, salvaging a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea is different, even if the approximate extent is determined, there are undercurrents and sediment on the seabed, which can disassemble the shipwreck or move the cargo ship to other places. In other words, even if some porcelain fragments are recovered near here, it is not certain that there must be a shipwreck nearby, and maybe the shipwreck is hundreds of nautical miles away.

This is a normal situation, after all, no one is stupid, everyone knows that there are many shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, and the value of the treasure in them is probably more than the total wealth of the land.

Due to the relatively strict control in China, there are very few rumors of this, but in foreign countries, there are many private, very professional salvage companies. Specializing in the salvage of treasures in the major oceans, it is a pity that there are very few people who have a harvest.

Of course, on the other hand, once there is a harvest, it is always a very amazing wealth, which is why many people have been attracted to devote themselves to the cause of treasure exploration under the sea. However, these lucky ones are all unique in ten thousand.

For example, China has a very large coastline, and the Middle East and South China Seas were two of the most frequent places of maritime trade in ancient times. One can imagine how many shipwrecks there will be under these two seas. However, for decades, only a handful of ships have been salvaged from the sea.

It is undeniable that there must be some ancient wooden boats that have been soaked by seawater and have no salvage value, but more must be that everyone has the intention to salvage, but there is no discovery......

So for this trip, Master Jiang didn't have much hope. Of course, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to go through the procedure. At that moment, he greeted a few young people who came over, and without him opening his mouth, they took the initiative to put on diving suits, and then jumped into the sea with some auxiliary tools.

After that, it's just a matter of waiting.

In the process of waiting, Bai Ye Qiaoyu and the others also got up, and gathered over one after another to watch curiously. It's daytime, and the water in this area is relatively clean and the visibility is good. If you look closely, you can see a few vague shadows swimming in the sea. However, when the diver reaches a certain depth, he cannot see anything clearly.

"It's just a preliminary probe now."

At this time, Master Jiang explained: "When we are sure that there is something on the bottom of the sea and needs to be salvaged, we can track and shoot the whole process through the underwater camera, and then we can understand the situation under the boat on the boat." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, what Master Jiang said was what it was, anyway, everyone didn't understand much.

But then again, the waiting process was a bit sadistic, and an hour or two passed, except for the occasional diver who came up to catch his breath and changed the oxygen cylinder, but found nothing.

"Expand your search." Master Jiang was obviously mentally prepared for this, so he must have had enough patience and gave instructions very calmly.

However, Yu Feibai was a little impatient, and after looking left and right, he suddenly asked, "Tsinghua, do you have a diving suit on your yacht?" Take a set, and I'll go down and find out. ”

"There must be."

Tang Qinghua looked around at Wang Guan, Baye and the others, and chuckled: "And there are special diving instructors, if you are interested, you can also play together......"

"Play?"

When Master Jiang heard this, he instinctively wanted to reprimand, but suddenly found that he didn't seem to have this position. After all, people use the equipment on the yacht, and the sea is empty, and it is impossible to hinder the work of divers. When you think about it, there's really no reason to object to people playing around...... (To be continued.) )
