62. The wreck is out of the water
Fang Jing climbed onto the deck and asked the sailors to lift the iron box up first.
A box of bottles and cans with green hairs, everyone was a little disappointed, not to mention yellow, not even white.
Middle-aged men have also salvaged shipwrecks before, but most of them have been entrusted to help people salvage goods, ancient shipwrecks have really not been fished up, and they are not from a professional background, and they don't have much idea of what is valuable.
Porcelain or something, he bought a porcelain bowl and teacup for a few dollars on the street and threw it under the water, and it will grow green hair in ten years, okay, I can't tell if it's worth it at all, I just think it's very dirty, and some even have insects on it.
It's disgusting!
Fang Jing is like picking up a treasure, this is the blue and white porcelain fired by the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, the dead are expensive, the porcelain caught today is really exquisite, it is more expensive than the boat of Song Jialuo porcelain he fished last time, after all, in the Celestial Empire, it is still the things of his ancestors that are more valuable, and there are few things that pursue crooked Guoren.
It is probably also because the ancient civilization of the Celestial Dynasty has always been at the forefront of the world's powers, and the era of the pigtail dynasty is an exception.
The valuable things have been salvaged, and Fang Jing is not so anxious, besides, now that it is winter, soaking under the water is really not a much enjoyment. He and Cen Jiu took off their diving suits, rubbed their bodies for a long time before they warmed up, wrapped themselves in blankets to check their harvest.
There are more than 200 pieces of complete porcelain of various sizes salvaged in the iron box, half of which are still blue glazed.
Fang Jing is not an expert in this area, but he also knows that the blue glazed porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty is much less finished than the blue and white porcelain because of the process and raw materials, because the price is also very high.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still people around him, Fang Jing couldn't wait to immediately take out the treasures that had just been collected in the water bubble and take a closer look at them one by one to understand.
"I'm really going to get rich." Fang Jingxin said, this trip to the sea is really an unexpected surprise, similar to pie in the sky.
Sure enough, no one is rich or rich, if he still works in the museum, he will not even be able to afford the cheapest bowl in it for ten years with that salary.
"Give everyone red envelopes when I go back." Fang Jing was not stingy, he waved his big hand, and he was full of pride.
You can't eat meat by yourself, so you don't even want to take a sip of soup.
Originally, people who were still a little frustrated because they had fished up a bunch of useless bottles and cans, were happy when they heard that Fang Jing was going to give out red envelopes.
The days of going to sea are monotonous and boring, any unusual thing is enough to make these boring old men turn into gossip long-tongued women, Fang Jing just said that he wanted to give everyone a red envelope, and everyone was in high spirits, and they talked around Fang Jing endlessly.
"The little boss wants it! Courageous. Li Jie stretched out his thumb to Fang Jing, it is not easy to meet a generous boss these days.
"How big a red envelope is it? A dime is also a red envelope, a dollar is also a red envelope, don't tease us, don't tease us, prepare a big red envelope at that time, and put a small one in it, and I won't follow it then. Some people also looked at Fang Jing's tender face and laughed at him.
"Am I that stingy?" I thought it would lose money, but I didn't expect a windfall from the sky, Fang Jing was in a very good mood, and everyone felt cute at this time.
"I didn't see it if I was not stingy, but the little boss was young, that was a certainty." Ge Lezhi, that is, the middle-aged man who took the lead in everything among the people, laughed and teased.
Although Fang Jing didn't say how big the red envelopes would be, since they had already made it clear, there would have to be hundreds of them if they didn't say anything. Fang Jing's salary is not low, and the work is not heavy, they don't need to go into the water, they don't do anything, and they have red envelopes, how can they be unhappy.
Fang Jing gaged with them for a long time, his body stopped trembling, and he put on a blanket and moved the contents of the iron box back to his cabin. When the things are finished and it is not early, he doesn't plan to go into the water again today, anyway, the wreck can't be fished up for a day or two, so he has enough rest first, and tomorrow will be regarded as the real start of salvage work, and today is just a warm-up.
In the evening, everyone had a hot dinner, there was no entertainment on the sea, the weather was cold, the sea breeze blew, it felt cold to the bones, except for the people who were on duty at night, everyone else washed and went to sleep.
Fang Jing is still in the same room as Cen Jiu, and there are millions of antique porcelain in his house! Cen Jiu felt more secure by his side.
When there were only two people in the cabin, he and Cen Jiu, Fang Jing closed the hatch, kissed Cen Jiu's face heavily, and said happily: "Xiao Jiu, you are really my lucky star." ”
This was not the first time Cen Jiu had heard Fang Jing call himself like this, except that he would feel embarrassed at the beginning, but now he was completely calm.
What about the ruthless Secret Guard? What about fatherlessness and motherlessness?
He is also a person with an ID card now, just like Fang Jing said, in the Great Heaven Dynasty, he is called a citizen, the kind with the right to vote.
It's a strange world where the supreme leader of the country, similar to the emperor, is not inherited, but elected by the people.
How peculiar, in Daqi, this is simply impossible.
Only such a magical place and such a magical country can raise such a magical person as Fang Jing.
"Do you want to sleep?" Cen Jiu also kissed him, and asked with sparkling eyes.
In his impression, liking equals kissing, and kissing equals sleeping. As soon as Fang Jing kissed him, he was excited, and he just wanted to kidnap this person to bed and go to sleep.
Fang Jing was also very excited, but when he saw the bandages wrapped around Cen Jiu's body, and then thought of the difficult work there was tomorrow, he shook his head with some difficulty.
"Still don't, you have to recuperate, and tomorrow you have to fish for the boat." Even with a golden finger as thick as a water bubble, deep-sea work is still a very exhausting task for him, and it is more important to maintain abundant energy.
"Okay then." Cen Jiu's expression was a little regretful, but he was not reluctant.
The two of them took care of their personal hygiene and slept in a bed.
The next day, Fang Jing got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and was full of energy to prepare to salvage the hull.
Only the lower part of the hull remains, which is still hollow, and basically only the part of the hull made of iron remains, but the skeleton is a little larger, and the underwater position is too deep, and it is not easy to salvage.
The salvage equipment on the ship is not advanced enough, so Fang Jing plans to use pontoons to salvage and wait until the wreck surfaces before slowly towing it back to port.
Because Fang Jing was responsible for underwater operations, the ship was under the overall command of Ge Lezhi.
No way, although Xiao Ze is reliable, he has never salvaged a shipwreck, Ge Lezhi is experienced, and he is quite prestigious among several other sailors, only he is the most suitable.
They lined up the pontoons tied to the back of the tugboat one by one and hoisted them into the sea. A total of about 20 pontoons were piled up on the boat, and all of them were pushed into the water.
After the pontoon is launched, the inlet valve of the pontoon is opened, and the pontoon is filled with water and slowly sinks into the sea.
Just put these more than 20 pontoons for two days.
After all the pontoons were launched, it would be the main battlefield of Fang Jing and Cen Jiu. The two changed into wetsuits and dived into the sea as well.
Ge Lezhi looked at the figures of the two, propped his hands on the side of the ship, and sighed: "I hope the little boss can salvage the wreck." ”
Two days ago, he salvaged the things on the ship, which made him feel a little confident in Fang Jing and Cen Jiu.
It's really hard to go so deep under the sea.
Fang Jing and Cen Jiu dived to the bottom of the sea and fixed the two dozen pontoons and sunken ships, which alone made him and Cen Jiu busy for three days. No way, this job is more difficult, the underwater temperature is too low, people will freeze if they stay too long, and the oxygen cylinder can only last that long, although he can breathe freely in the water bubbles, but he always has to behave.
Once the pontoon is secured, it is simply a matter of filling the pontoon with a booster air pressure to drain the seawater from the pontoon.
Needless to say, Ge Lezhi and the other five sailors automatically took over the job.
Fang Jing sat on the deck with a blanket, waiting for the moment when the wreck would be seen again.
Fortunately, the wreck was only a bare shelf, and it did not sink much, and after waiting for a few days, I saw movement on the water.
The huge pontoon slowly surfaced little by little, Fang Jing was so excited that he took out the camera and carried it on his shoulder to start shooting automatically.
What a monumental moment it was, and it must be recorded.
This was the first real shipwreck he had salvaged, and of course he wanted to record this exciting moment and pass it down as a family heirloom from generation to generation.
If he finds someone to surrogate in the future, he can have his own children.
Except for Cen Jiu, the others on the boat were even more excited than Fang Jing, and even Xiao Ze had an incredible expression on his face.
He really didn't expect Fang Jing to really be able to salvage this wreck, although what was salvaged was just a bare shelf, but this was also very remarkable.
This is a deep-sea shipwreck, and there are not a few salvaged ships in the world, and I haven't seen the Bismarck warship still sleeping well underwater.
After the wreck came out of the water, Fang Jing was very excited, so as not to have many dreams for a long time, Fang Jing dragged the sunken ship back that day.
It took nearly a month to salvage the wreck, but fortunately, the harvest was not small, and it was finally worth the toss of the winter.
At the port, Fang Jing settled the wages of the six people, and sure enough, he kept his promise and gave everyone a red envelope.
When he received the red envelope, Ge Lezhi pinched the red envelope and felt that there should be a lot of money. When he left the ship, he opened the red envelope and counted it, and there were 3,000 yuan, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then rejoiced.
He had also salvaged things on this ship before, and it was really a matter of making money, like the shallow sea area of only a few meters or ten meters, but a little deeper, it was really fatal. Once they received a task to salvage a cargo ship, the ship sank dozens of meters deep underwater, and they had a total of more than a dozen sailors, who worked underwater for nearly half a month, before they finally dragged back to the dock with the cargo ship.
After that salvage was completed, his ears were confused all day for several months, and it took a few months of rest to recover his strength, and his body collapsed at that time.
In contrast, it really couldn't be simpler to follow Fang Jing to go to sea this time, they didn't need to go into the water, they only did some hard work on the boat, and there was a red envelope collar when it was over, it was like picking up money for nothing, how could they be unhappy.
"Sure enough, I met a good person!" Ge Lezhi laughed.
