06 Where is the pirate ship?
I feel very fucked, and it's been nearly a month since I arrived in the United States; Perhaps the biggest gain from this period of time is that he now eats a lot of seafood, all kinds of seafood. So now that his ability is getting stronger and stronger, he feels that he is becoming more and more like a dragon, and has become an overlord at the bottom of the sea. Although it may not be able to deter marine life or go deep into the abyss, it is no longer as 'weak and windy' as it has just been inherited.
Incidentally, the level of English, which was originally a little bit basic, is soaring, and now I can barely get a sรจ here in the United States.
It seems that he has adapted very well, anyway, Zhou Quan feels that he has no major problems communicating with Americans now, but some slang and the like may still be a little difficult. This is a very good start, enough to make the whole life more enjoyable, enough to make him start his plans better now.
Zhou Quan stands on Key West Island, the southernmost city in the continental United States; On a small coral island at the southwestern tip of the Florida Keys, it is also separated from Cuba and the Bahamas.
As far as Zhou Quan was concerned, he had no intention of marching westward; To the west is the legendary Gulf of Mexico, where there is not much 'wealth', and it is the well-planned 'inland sea'. Cuba and the Bahamas belong to the Caribbean, and there is a lot of wealth here, unimaginable wealth.
"Nima, if I can't find anything good this time, I won't get up."
expressed his determination, and Zhou Quan was planning to break the boat; These days, he has actually been exploring the offshore area for a long time, even if he has checked the information and the like, but it is not easy to hunt for treasure under the sea. The simplest reason is to look for some shipwrecks in the middle of the ocean, which is really not a quick needle in a haystack.
The offshore side was really pretty much searched, especially the ones that were highlighted as potentially shipwrecks. Unfortunately, there are no decent finds at all; There was a bit of a shipwreck, but unfortunately it wasn't a treasure ship or anything like that, and those ships didn't have any decent wealth.
Quietly jumped into the sea, who made this a desolate area that no one noticed; Head straight to the east, which is the direction of the Bahamas.
Between 300 and 400 AD, the Bahamas were inhabited by indigenous people; In 1492, Christopher Columbus made his first visit to the New World on the island of San Salvador in the eastern Bahamas. When he stood on the island and looked around the island, he saw the shallow waters lapping against the shore, and he said "bazama" (meaning shallow water or sea). Hence the name of the Bahamas, which is why the Bahamas are also known as "islands in the shallow sea".
Here, it used to be the best colony; So the period from the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century was a golden age for pirates and privateers. Much of the story of Sir Francis Drake and Blackbeard has been heard about the Bahamas. The islands of the Bahamas are ideal for pirates and privateers. Countless islands and islets, densely packed with sandbars and straits, and the terrain is very complex, providing excellent hiding places for raiders. And, because the Bahamas is close to a busy cargo lane, there are plenty of opportunities for pirates to steal merchant ships!
I don't plan to go over the submarine canyon that is too deep, even if I know that there will be some shipwrecks there, anyway, Zhou Quan doesn't have the ability to fish it out now. It's still safe and steady, don't think about going to too deep a sea area; Although he has a very good ability now, he will not take risks because he cherishes his own life.
Quickly travel on the bottom of the sea, without worrying about anyone being discovered; Sometimes he even thinks that if he can't fish out the treasure in the sea, maybe he can help the Mexicans bring some powder to the United States. According to his current ability, smuggling and the like are simply a piece of cake; It's just that it's just a matter of thinking about such things, and Zhou Quancai doesn't like to take risks.
caught a grouper and stuffed it directly into a fishing net hanging from his waist; For the grouper, which is rich in nutrients, delicate and white in meat, similar to chicken, and known as "sea chicken", Zhou Quan is really no stranger now. These days, he eats quite a few groupers. Even groupers, lobsters and the like are no strangers, they are all caught by him.
looked at the underwater compass, it was actually an electronic compass of average quality, but it was enough; It's no problem to determine the direction you are in, this is the water area that Zhou Quan intends to focus on this time. It is said that there are many shipwrecks here, and this is also the place where Zhou Quan thought he was going to make a fortune.
Although Zhou Quan found a lot of materials on the Internet, he looked through a lot of books and materials related to navigation, treasures, pirates, shipwrecks in the Spanish colonial era in the library, and also asked the coastal fishermen for some news. Even Yang Guang's kid has done a lot of logistical help, but now the treasure hunt is not necessarily smooth, after all, Zhou Quan has already missed a few 'points' in front of him, and there is no treasure there.
I hope this time I won't be disappointed again, otherwise Zhou Quan really needs to think about whether he wants to find a new way out. Although he doesn't have much money now, who let him have no money in his pocket; You can eat seafood every day and live in a cheap hostel, but many times there are too many places to spend money, and the wallet itself is not bulging, and now it is still quickly depleted.
The rented submarine metal detector did not make the slightest sound, and the powerful underwater searchlight did not shine any shadow of the wreck. Although Zhou Quan has been searching in the carpet, there is still no discovery in this sea area, which is quite disappointing.
Keep searching, anyway, Zhou Quan thinks he has a chance; The Caribbean, here can be described as a pirate's den. If you can't find a pirate shipwreck or a Spanish gold ship on the Cuban or Bahamian side, then go to Jamaica and Haiti, which are actually the real pirate dens. Of course, Zhou Quan's current location is actually very close to those famous pirate dens in history.
Treasure hunting should be patient. Actually, you need a lot of luck.
Some people take years or decades to find the treasure of the shipwreck, and many more treasure hunters do not even find such treasures in their lifetimes. These are all very normal.
For Zhou Quan, his biggest advantage is his 'water', as long as it is not those sea areas that are too deep, he can enter and enter freely, then the efficiency of his treasure hunt is greatly improved. The visa is three months, although it is about to pass a month now, but there are still two months to go, and there should always be some discoveries, even if they are only small discoveries.
Another undersea shipwreck, with a high string, a high tail building, a low foredeck, and a flat stern...... Although a few hundred years is enough time for the ship to decay at the bottom of the sea, the general shape is still there. This is really a typical Spanish galleon.
The Spanish galleon is one of the most legendary sailing ships in history; As a microcosm of Spain's maritime supremacy in the 16th and 17th centuries, they are often associated with treasures, pirates, conquerors, and armadas. It's just that these famous sailing ships of Master Li are often left at the bottom of the sea.
"Damn, Nima doesn't have anything!"
After a rough search around the wreckage of the wreck, it should be the type that was first boarded, or the ship sank with nothing. I didn't see any gold or treasure or anything like that, but I saw a few bones on the deck and the wreckage around it; But Zhou Quan is used to it now, who let him see this less during this time.
In line with the principle that no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also meat, and this wreck still needs to be searched carefully; There may be no hope for gold or something, but there may still be some hope for finding some artifacts or something. Speaking of which, if you find any valuable artifacts, they may be worth more than gold.
