Chapter 296: Shipwreck

What about Henry Morgan, Jiang Hai doesn't care, he doesn't bother to care, anyway, he has been dead for almost four hundred years.

But his treasure, Jiang Hai is still very interested, and the shipwreck he is targeting this time is called the Sin Capital.

Of course, this name is written on that chart, and it is not clear whether it is really Jiang Hai.

In fact, many people know about this ship, and even the British government knows about it, because it was still very famous when the ship sank, and the United States was not as powerful as it is now, and it was also a colony of European countries at the beginning.

It was only after 1773 that Britain alone gained the upper hand.

Before that, it was a common colony of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany.

When the war between Britain and Spain was in full swing, Henry Morgan naturally focused not only on South America, but also on North America, especially Florida, which is the mouth of the Caribbean Sea.

In normal times, when you beat a rabbit with grass, you always have to attack it once or twice.

This ship, after robbing the Spanish colonies in North America, was blocked by the Spanish fleet here, and after a major battle, although Henry Morgan fled, he also threw down several warships.

Some of them are more submersible, which have long been divided between Britain and Spain, and then some of them are deeper, and after entering the later era of science and technology, they have also been salvaged one after another, but only one ship with the most jewels has not been caught, because this ship is really too unlucky, in this sea area. There is almost the same trench.

But by coincidence. There's only one one. The maximum depth is more than 3,700 meters, and this ship is exactly stuck at about 1,760 meters.

At this depth, people will definitely not be able to go down, and if they send a submarine or something, they are afraid that if they touch it, the boat will fall directly to more than 3,000 meters, and it will be even more impossible to catch it. So they knew that the ship was here, but there was nothing they could do.

If they lost it, they were reluctant to get it, but they couldn't get it, they couldn't even get the things inside, so in the end, whether it was the United States or the United Kingdom, they decided to let this thing be left here, and they wouldn't lose it anyway.

Later, when the fisherman sold these treasure maps. Some people have found it, but after a glance. I'm ready to go back and beat that guy, it's impossible for such a boat to get up.

However, if others can't catch it, it doesn't mean that Jiang Hai can't do it, at least now Jiang Hai is working hard for this.

The speed of the engine is not slow, Jiang Hai is also the fastest, about twenty nautical miles per hour, more than a hundred nautical miles, Jiang Hai ran in the water, he ran for nearly six hours, and by the time he reached the top of the trench, it was already midnight.

Looking at his own Rolex watch, Jiang Hai turned on the headlamp, but as soon as he turned it on, he was startled.

As soon as his headlamp flickered, he saw a huge fish swimming quickly in front of him.

Subconsciously he wanted to take a speargun, but when he looked at it, it was not a shark, but a bluefin tuna that was worth more than any shark.

Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a shark, this kind of fish couldn't attack him.

After the fish swam away quickly, Jiang Hai also looked around, and the bluefin golden gun was actually a social fish.

With the sweep of the headlamp, Jiang Hai also found that in this vicinity, in addition to the bluefin golden gun he saw just now, there were many other tuna, but the species were a little miscellaneous, most of them were bluefins, but some were yellowfins.

According to Jiang Hai's preliminary estimate, if it is not the name of the fish king's hype, this vote of tuna is almost worth about 2 million US dollars.

This made Jiang Hai smack his lips, this is more profitable than raising cattle, what salmon, American red fish, compared with this fish, it is really not a grade, but unfortunately, these fish have no way to breed, because this kind of fish has to swim around all year round, and their fishing grounds are still too small, and they don't sell this fish seedlings.

There are no live ones, let alone artificial breeding, which is to see, if Jiang Hai is by boat, he can get a few of them, provided that they cannot be discovered by others, you must know that tuna fishing has a time limit.

From August to October, tuna can be fished, beyond which you are not allowed to fish.

So Jiang Hai could only sigh regretfully and plunge into the deep sea.

As Jiang Hai's GPS kept beating numbers, Jiang Hai was getting farther and farther away from the sea level.

Along the way, Jiang Hai saw a lot of creatures, most of them were fish, and of course there were some other things occasionally.

For example, jellyfish and the like, and even Jiang Hai saw a few sharks in the distance.

But alas, they are all small sharks, either cat sharks or gray mako sharks, these sharks are not big in the first place, and they will come to take a look when they see the light source, but after one look, they will leave immediately.

Obviously, the sharks here have seen humans and suffered losses at the hands of humans, so they don't want to meet Jiang Hai.

As the water got deeper and deeper, Jiang Hai also felt that the water temperature was getting colder and colder, even if he was wearing fluffy clothes inside, Jiang Hai also felt a little chilly, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, the temperature of the sea water changes all year round.

The temperature at sea level is related to the local air temperature, but at 350 meters below the sea surface, basically the world, except for the North Pole and the South Pole, the temperature is about the same, this layer is also called the thermostatic layer, and under the thermostatic layer, the further down the kilometer, it is a few degrees colder, taking the Atlantic Ocean as an example, the average temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is 16. 9 degrees, a kilometer below the surface of the water, the water temperature is about 4 to 5 degrees, and then a kilometer, it is 2 to 3 degrees, and then down, to about 3 kilometers, it is more than one degree.

Although Jiang Hai is extremely resistant now, it is not enough to avoid the cold and heat, but as long as it is less than minus twenty or thirty degrees, Jiang Hai still has no problem, as the bottom of the sea gets deeper and deeper, after a thousand meters, the fish around Jiang Hai will completely disappear.

Originally, a thousand meters ago, he occasionally saw a very ugly fish, the lanternfish, the scientific name is the deep-sea anglerfish, which looks similar to the anglerfish, but there is a small light on the head, which attracts other small fish to come and check it out, and then it eats the fish.

This fish basically lives between 700 and 900 meters, and after a thousand meters, this fish is gone.

It seemed that in an instant, the whole world was only Jiang Hai, except for the place where the headlamp shone, the rest of the place was pitch black.

To be honest, such a scene is really scary, after all, there is nothing around him, Jiang Hai's mind unconsciously imagined that he was swimming in front, was it some sea monster or something, was behind him, ready to prey on himself.

But fortunately, he knew that these were just his imagination.

While giving yourself courage, you can stay focused and continue to go downstream.

At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Hai, a headlamp that could illuminate two hundred meters, finally found his target, the Sin Capital.

This is a very old medieval galleon, the whole ship is about 30 meters long, about half the width, about 15 meters.

Although the sinking time is longer than the time of the wreck that Jiang Haihai saw last time, it may have been in the relationship between the deep sea, there is no oxygen here, there is no sunlight, and the natural corrosion degree is much lower, hey? How can Jiang Hai live without oxygen?

Well, Jiang Hai didn't know how he lived here, and he didn't feel depressed anyway.

At this time, the ship was like an I-shape, the bow and stern were just stuck on both sides of the sea, and they were hanging there in the air, and the sails on the ship were already rotten, and some of the planks and the like were also broken.

The hollow cabin, where some passing kelp and the like took root, sprouted, and drifted around with the currents below the water's surface, as if to say, "Come, come!" But who knows what the outcome will be after you go?

On the bow of the ship, the Virgin Mary, originally made of metal, could not be seen at this time.

I can only see a lot of shellfish, parasitic there, and some plants that Jiang Hai can't name, making their home there.

Looking at the appearance of this ship, Jiang Hai felt that the yin wind in his brain seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

The whole ship has the feeling of a ghost ship, well, this is originally a ghost ship.

Jiang Hai took a special look when he descended, this boat was just on the edge of the cliff, although it was not clear, whether this boat could withstand the impact of his fall, but Jiang Hai was not ready to try, in case he couldn't hold it down, then he still had to live more than 2,000 meters downstream? It's too tiring.

So he was going to go to the cliffs on both sides to lie down for a while, and then slowly walk onto the boat, but when Jiang Hai shone his headlights on the cliffs on both sides, his scalp seemed to explode, and the hair on his whole body also tightened in an instant, and the cold hair stood up.

The whole back gives people a dense feeling of nausea, and the engine in his hand is almost not held.

Fortunately, he was still bold, grabbed the engine stiffly, and then turned the engine off, so that he didn't let this thing fall, and with another mouthful of spit, Jiang Haiqiang endured his nausea and looked at the cliffs on both sides.

Under the light of his headlamp, on the top of the cliffs on both sides, countless insects were densely packed.

Looking at these insects, Jiang Hai subconsciously stopped in the middle, and he didn't know what to do. (To be continued.) )
