Chapter 14: Luxurious Treasures Under the Sea
"Colonel, we are about fifty-six nautical miles from that coordinate point, and at the current rate we are about an hour and a half," the correspondent reported.
However, the strategic submarine led by Colonel Varasque disappeared into the vast ocean and was never left again, thus adding another bizarre incident to the history of the US Navy. Sealed by CIA 1S-class intelligence.
Wang Peng naturally didn't know that what Wang Tianyi was worried about had already attracted great attention from Lao Mei, so an advanced nuclear submarine and 300 soldiers on board were also missing.
Wang Peng felt that his plan should be accelerated, but it would require a lot of money, and in the current situation, he was no longer allowed to slowly accumulate funds, and if he rashly cooperated with the state, it would cause unnecessary trouble, and it seemed that he had previously decided that the plan to secretly find the treasure of the shipwreck under the sea should be implemented in advance.
Fortunately, when Wang Peng decided to dig up the treasure of the shipwreck on the seabed, he entered the pseudo-world to watch the video records, and checked the places in the sea where there were shipwrecks or treasures, otherwise if he wanted to inspect it now, there would be no place to check.
The shipwrecks of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were all silent in the sea and sea, especially along the Minjiang River estuary to the south and west. The Minjiang River is an important station connecting Jingdezhen kiln, Longquan kiln, Dehua kiln and Cizao kiln for sea export.
Among the millions of images of shipwrecks, Wang Peng retrieved hundreds of thousands of images of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and found hundreds of shipwreck addresses that were relatively well preserved, the objects in them were relatively complete, and the value was relatively high.
Knowing the specific address of the shipwreck treasure, Wang Peng also prepared relevant equipment for this purpose, such as diving suits, as well as underwater salvage equipment, and now it seems that in addition to diving suits, other salvage equipment is not used.
It is said that the South China Sea, along with the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Sea, is known as the world's "three shipwreck graves".
Wang Peng has not been able to run so far recently, so he started from the nearest South China Sea and swept all the shipwrecks that could be salvaged on the Maritime Silk Road in ancient times, preparing to salvage the antique coins in the ships.
As for why? Naturally, even if Wang Peng does not salvage, or steal, the treasures in these ships will be stolen by foreigners in the next ten years.
According to the video records, the treasures in these shipwrecks are estimated to be worth more than 3 trillion yuan, including copper coins, copper mirrors, tin pots, silver ingots, gold rings and lacquerware, wooden cultural relics, cinnabar and stone carvings, jewelry, jade, etc.
The most noteworthy thing for Wang Peng is the great maritime colonization of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Europe plundered the world's wealth, and the ships sunk into the sea during this period were loaded with a large amount of goods.
One of the Atlantic shipwrecksIn July 1715, 10 large Spanish galleons loaded with treasures returned to Spain from Cuba and were damaged by a hurricane on the way and sank off the east coast of Florida in the United States. It will be discovered in 2015, and this one is going to make a profit. Each of the gold coins is worth around $300,000. The total value is around $400 million, and there are 30,000 gold coins when converted into gold coins.
There is also the "San José", a merchant ship in the fleet of King Philip V of Spain, which was sunk by British troops in the Caribbean Sea in 1708. The ship was allegedly loaded with gold, silver and jewels looted by the Spanish Empire from its American colonies, valued at least $2 billion. 150,000 gold coins, as long as the wealth on this ship can buy a medium spaceship.
In February 1694, Britain sent a naval fleet with the Royal Sussex as its flagship to the Mediterranean to reinforce the English forces that were at war with France there. According to Wen Jiàn, the Sussex also had a secret mission, carrying a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which were intended to win the Italian Duke of Savoy into an alliance against France. However, no sooner had the fleet sailed to the Strait of Gibraltar than it encountered a storm at sea, and the "Sussex" unfortunately sank to the bottom of the sea. The treasure on board is about 3 billion pounds.
There is also a ship that transports gold from Japan during World War II, which was sunk in a storm near the East China Sea, with 80 tons of gold, 30 tons of platinum, large bundles of banknotes, 100 boxes of handicrafts and precious stones, and an estimated value of $50 billion.
What pleased Wang Peng the most was that in the middle of the eighteenth century, the largest treasure hiding place of a pirate leader, stored about 500 tons of gold, 1,800 tons of silver, 8,000 boxes of precious stones, and tens of thousands of works of art.
Wang Peng scolded the sky and fainted to death, even if he salvaged one percent of the sunken ship, it was easy to get enough tens of millions of gold coins.
I'm still afraid of aliens, I can hit aliens, even if it's a thousand-year-old ginseng that I didn't get from upgrading bugs, there's no pressure to buy a space battleship.
After seeing the location of the treasure, Wang Peng suddenly felt that his plan was still feasible, at least he didn't have to worry about the funds, and it was not a problem for him to sneak around in the sea and come back.
The immediate target is dozens of shipwrecks in the South China Sea, then the treasure trove of pirate leaders on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, and then he will visit other famous shipwrecks in the world, and then buy back the famous antiques and ancient objects from Europe and the United States at a high price.
Even if it is a shipwreck worth more than 10,000 gold coins, Wang Peng naturally wants to patronize them one by one, anyway, there are storage rings, and there is no need for salvage equipment, and the treasure of the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea seems to be prepared for him.
Wang Peng called home and said the recent situation, although his mother nagged a few words, it was also full of love, although his father didn't say anything, but Wang Peng could also feel the strong father's love, all in words.
As for the Holy Spirit Machine Manufacturing Company that Wang Peng recently bought, it was naturally announced that it would stop production and renovate, and all the employees who chose to stay would study for a month, and the company would reopen after a month.
After arranging the company's affairs, Wang Peng embarked on a journey to conquer the sea.
During this period, Wang Tianyi finally recruited three crew members who came to sign up, and these three people were triplet brothers. The fate is bumpy, he has been an orphan since he was a child, and he is very miserable in the big city of Binghai, the three of them came out to mix in the society after finishing junior high school in the orphanage, and they have been in the society for more than ten years, and they are still poor, and they can't even be satisfied with food and clothing.
Although it was a little unbelievable to see the recruitment revelation of the Black Pearl, I couldn't help but come to sign up after seeing the high salary for food and housing.
