Chapter 258: Endless Treasure

The seventeenth doppelganger was chosen, turning the next cycle into six days.

Ye Ning was not idle, the matter of the gem auction was handed over to the auction house, and Ye Ning began to think about the next salvage.

Although the salvage of the Awa Maru is not very successful, it is indeed a big profit, which makes Ye Ning realize the benefits of salvaging such a well-known wreck, and opens up an idea for Ye Ning.

But these troubles of ordinary people can be avoided for Ye Ning, and this aspect can be bypassed with permission, because Ye Ning does not need to salvage ships, and salvage directly from the bottom of the sea, as long as he doesn't sell too iconic items, and Ye Ning doesn't have to worry about capacity and cost at all.

Ye Ning began to look for information and investigate those well-known ocean treasures, if he didn't check it, he was shocked, there were more ocean treasures than Ye Ning imagined.

In fact, the reason is very simple, why is there more treasure than people think in the deep sea? This is because, in history, every 29 hours, a ship dies at sea. In the 16th century, 45 out of every 100 gold and silver ships shipped from the American colonies to Spain were sunk to the bottom by pirates and storms. Until the beginning of the 19th century, 30%~40% of cargo ships were sunk by pirates and storms. Almost every shipwreck carries a treasure in some way.

The place where the most treasures under the sea are said to be in the Ga-Le-Bi Sea in the northern part of La-Ding America. Since Columbus arrived here in 1498 when he crossed the Atlantic for the third time, thousands of ships laden with gold, silver and jewels have been sunk by storms and pirates. In addition to Ga-Le-Bi-Overseas. The Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is also home to hundreds of shipwrecks of various kinds, most of which were used by the Dutch to carry treasures. The coasts of the Yellow Sea, the Ba-Si Strait between mainland Australia-Greater Lia and Ta-Si Mania, the coasts of Chile-Liberia, Peru, Venezuela-Rey-Ra and Pakistan-West, as well as the coasts of Spain-Banga, Britain and the southern part of the United States, are also areas where shipwrecks are concentrated.

On the seabed near the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a "Treasure Cemetery". It is said that 1/10 of the earth's gold is sunk there, and in some places the sea depth is less than 30 meters. Another "Treasure Cemetery" is southeast of Belmou de S, Cuba. The third "Treasure Cemetery" is 250 nautical miles off the coast of Cape Co-Lyon-Tete in A-Gen-Ting. The fourth "Treasure Cemetery" is near the island of Chi-Lo-Ey-in of Chile. The fifth "Treasure Cemetery" is at the bottom of the sea at Cape Verde-Cape (Green Point) in Se-Ne-Ga-Er.

In addition to the five treasures cemetery above, Ye Ning also saw the eight well-known treasures of the ocean.

The first treasure, the Spanish galleon San Jose, laden with gold bars, silver bars, gold coins and jewels, was sunk by the British Navy in the Caribbean Sea in 1708.

The second treasure is the California Gold Treasure. In 1849, gold was discovered in California. A large number of American Easterners rushed to California to dig for gold. Eight years later, they were returning home with the California gold they had dug up. Unexpectedly, the boat was hit by a hurricane. All the gold sank to the bottom of the sea.

The third treasure is the treasure at the bottom of the lake at the end of the rainbow. Nephew of the last king of the Musca Indians of Colombia. A large number of jewels from the traditional coronation ceremony of King Musca, described in the early 17th century, were thrown into the lake.

The fourth treasure is the treasure of Changmao Mausoleum. Reputedly. In the ancient Inca kingdom, the capital of the ancient Inca kingdom often ruins, the king's tomb under the ruins, contains a large number of jewels.

The fifth treasure is the shipwreck of Columbus. Archaeologists are convinced that five ships of Columbus sank in the Caribbean Sea for some reason, and treasure hunters have been exploring it for some reason.

The sixth treasure is the Treasure Island Treasure. Coco Island in the Pacific Ocean is said to have six treasures. One of the most attractive is the treasures of Lima, Peru.

The seventh treasure is the treasure of the money pit. Legend has it that on Oak Island, a small island off Nova Scottia, there are treasures buried on the island.

The eighth treasure is the Arizona Gold Mine. Somewhere in Arizona's Superstition Mountains, many people went on treasure hunting, and some even drew a map of the treasure spots.

……

Why is it that so many treasures, some of which are on the high seas, belong to the ownerless, but so few people salvage them?

It's not that you don't want to go to the salvage, but you don't dare to go, and the ocean salvage itself is not easy, let alone these dangerous areas.

For example, the first "Treasure Cemetery" Sargasso Sea, also known as the Sa-Ga-Soo (Portuguese word for grape fruit) Sea, is a shoreless sea in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly between 20~35°N latitude and 35~70°W longitude, covering about 500~6 million square kilometers of water. The Sargasso Sea surrounds the Bermuda archipelago and has nothing to do with the mainland, so although it is called "sea", it is not actually a sea in the strict sense, but can only be said to be a special body of water in the Atlantic Ocean. The Sargasso Sea is a "sea within an ocean" that is separated from the North American continent by a wide sea to the west. The other three sides are vast oceans. So it is the only sea in the world that does not have a coast, and therefore there is no clear boundary between sea and Europe.

This sargassum sea is known as the "green field of the sea", but it also has the title of "sea of magic algae".

Why such a scary name? Since ancient times, almost none of the ships that strayed into this "green ocean" can "return to Zhao", in the era of sailing ships, I don't know how many ships, because they strayed into this strange sea area, they were entangled by sargassum, and the people on board were exhausted because of fresh water and food, so people called this sea area "the graveyard of the ocean." ”

The first to enter the sea was Columbus, who were besieged for almost a month, and finally managed to escape with the hard work of the entire crew.

During the Second World War, British Major Oz-Ming personally went to the Sargasso Sea, where there was no wind, the "green fields" emitted a disgusting stench, and wrecks were everywhere. The surface of the seaweed is extremely sticky, and when it sucks up a person's hand, it leaves a blood stain. At night, the seaweed climbed up to the deck of the ship like a snake, as if to wrap the ship around, and he had to sweep it away in order to sail, but the seaweed grew more and more, and poured up to the deck like a tide. After a fight, exhausted, he was able to escape.

In the eyes of navigators, the Sargasso Sea is a desert at sea and a ship's graveyard. In this empty, dead sea, there are hardly any edible fish fish, sea turtles and the occasional whale seem to be the only living beings, in addition to the single-celled algae. In the tales of legend, the Sargasso Sea is described as a giant trap in which passing ships are caught by magical seaweed, trapped in the seaweed, leaving only the bones of sailors and the wreckage of ships. The Beum-Triangle, the most famous mysterious area in this sea, pushes these legends to the extreme.

……

In short, even if there are countless treasures in many sea areas, ordinary people can only think about it and dare not salvage it at all.

Ye Ning pondered for a while, and finally chose the Gale-Bi-Hai, especially the St. Ho-Si, one of the eight treasures that sank in the Gale-Bi-Hai.

On May 28, 1708, on a fine day, the ship sank from Panama to Spanish territorial waters, the heavily guarded ship loaded with gold bars, silver bars, gold coins, gold-cast lampstands, and altarpiece jewelry, a treasure estimated to be worth at least $1 billion. At that time, Spain was in a state of hostility with Britain, the Netherlands and other countries, and the famous British admiral Wigg was leading a powerful fleet to patrol the vicinity, and danger would come from time to time. However, the captain of the "San Jose" Fedez completely ignored it, first, he was eager to return home, and second, he was too superstitious about chance and luck, and naively thought: How vast the sea is, could it be that he would encounter an enemy ship so coincidentally?" The sailing ship "San Jose" sailed safely for a few days, and the captain seemed relaxed and confident, until on June 8, when people were horrified to find the British fleet lined up in the sea in front of them, they were all dumbfounded, and suddenly, the cannon fire was dense, the water column soared into the sky, several shells fell on the deck of the "San Jose", and the sea gradually swallowed the huge hull, and the "San Jose" sank to the bottom of the sea with more than 600 crew members and countless treasures. The site of the sink, determined by countless treasure hunters, finally came to an approximate result: it was about 740 feet deep in the Caribbean Sea, about 16 miles off the coast of Colombia. As the saying goes, "The building near the water gets the moon first." "In 1983, the Colombian Public Minister Sigvia officially and solemnly declared that the "San Jose" was the national property of the State of Colombia and did not belong to the insatiable treasure hunters. It is estimated that the Colombian government has already surveyed the location of the wreck, and although the salvage cost is as high as $30 million, it is nothing compared to the treasure.

There is no action on this ship, either because it has been salvaged secretly, or because it feels that the salvage cost is too great and difficult, and it is still being prepared.

If it is the latter, then Ye Ning will have a big deal, Ye Ning will control the sperm whale to swim to the site of the shipwreck of the San Ho-Jose with octopuses and swordfish - Ga-Le-Bi-Hai, but because the road is long and it takes some time, Ye Ning did not waste the scenery along the way, and he was constantly collecting marine treasures along the way.

Anyway, no matter where the animal clone goes, you can directly throw the treasure into the turtle shell space, and you don't have to worry about transportation.

With the addition of sperm whales, the speed of treasure hunting is faster, you must know that sperm whales can detect a wide range of sonar, although the detection is not very fine, but at least you can quickly know the general situation, and then cooperate with the speed of the swordfish to quickly explore.

Therefore, these days, a lot of treasures are still picked up every day, basically maintaining about one million a day.

This speed of making money once again embarrassed Li Ruiyao, Bai Songfeng and others, they have nothing to gain from salvaging the Awa Maru, but Ye Ning is crazy about making money, one million may not be a lot in the eyes of rich people, but if you want to think about one million a day, this is faster than picking up money, more and more people are curious about the team behind Ye Ning, and they inquired about Ye Ning, and then they couldn't find anything, and the team behind Ye Ning was like it didn't exist at all.
