It is said that there are thirteen ships, but listening to the shark armor in detail, some of the shipwrecks are too far away, and some are even in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, so Ao Tang can't help but sigh at the wide range of the shark armor. Unfortunately, whale sharks spend most of their time cruising the surface of the ocean, otherwise they would have found more shipwrecks.

Depending on the distance, up to four of them could be found tonight, but Ao Tang was not in a hurry, and immediately ordered the shark armor to go to the nearest one. The whale shark was slow, but now the shark armor stood up, flicked its tail, and the energy contained in the huge body burst out, and it also had a speed of forty or fifty kilometers per hour. This is still the time it has just been ignited, and after a while of becoming more familiar with using the body, the shark armor may be faster.

About two hours later, Ao Tang saw the first shipwreck.

"Like an antique battleship?" Ao Tang curiously landed on the ship, this is an extremely old-fashioned ship, looked at the logo on it, and found some rotten uniforms on the wreckage of some soldiers in the cabin, and understood that this was a British [***] ship from the era of Zhuming Cooking.

"Warships have a fart!" Ao Tang picked up a command knife that had long been rusted and picked around on the wreckage, and there was no need to respect the remains of these dead people, because the foreigners who came here during the Ming Dynasty and the foreign [***] people were almost all vicious invaders who committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people of that year.

The warship didn't know how to sink, Ao Tang had the idea that "this warship might contain looted property", searched all the cabins, but in the end only found some gold and silver artifacts on the wreckage of a few officers, and had the experience of the last time he shot the bandits' treasure chest, Ao Tang knew that these things were only worth 30,000 or 50,000 at most.

"Forget it, waste is always bad." Ao Tang found a barely usable bag, filled it with gold and silverware, and left.

Half an hour later I came to the second shipwreck, this is a fishing boat, and it looks quite new, maybe only sunk for a year or two, right? However, there were no bodies on it, and it is unknown if they were rescued by other ships. Ao Tang glanced at it, and the fishing boat was worthless.

After another half an hour, the shark armor rushed to the third shipwreck with Ao Tang, which was an ancient wooden ship, which had long been rotten and had nothing on it, Ao Tang looked for it, only to see some inferior copper coins, and immediately turned around.

"Looks like I'm not lucky tonight, I'll look at the last one."

If the time estimate is not too skewed, it should be two o'clock in the morning, and after exploring the fourth ship, he will have to swim back in a hurry, after all, no matter how energetic he is, he can't sleep at all.

Fortunately, the fourth ship itself was heading in the direction of the Chinese coast, and he had to adapt to the speed of the shark armor, and it took him an hour and a half to finally reach the fourth shipwreck.

At a glance, Ao Tang was immediately overjoyed: "It seems that the God of Wealth still takes care of me!" Uh, no, I'm not in the same system as the God of Wealth, and now the God of Wealth doesn't know which world I've run to, this is my own fortune! ”

As soon as Ao Tang looked at it, he understood the origin of the fourth ship, which was a Ming Dynasty survey and trade ship, or a ship that paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty!

With Ao Tang's experience, there was originally no knowledge of this aspect, but Lao Hong in his dormitory was an Internet writer, and a previous "Otherworldly XX" had been written, and two months ago he opened a new historical book "X Ming", the protagonist crossed the pirates, integrated the sea forces, eliminated the Japanese robbers, and monopolized the trade in the world.

After all, he was a roommate, so Ao Tang registered an account to vote for Lao Hong or something, and also read the book by the way, so as to understand the trading ships of the Ming Dynasty. So at a glance, you can see that this is a standard tribute ship.

There are more than 100 wrecks of the Ming Dynasty on the ship, and there are a large number of goods, but unfortunately, after being immersed in seawater for hundreds of years, most of the goods have been completely destroyed. Ao Tang searched for it on the ship, and found a list, and probably in order to look good when paying tribute, he actually embroidered words with gold silk and embroidered it on the cloth.

Although the cloth was soaked in the sea, but the font of the gold wire has not been dispersed, at that time the Chinese characters were the mainstream script of East Asia, which was nothing more than traditional Chinese characters mixed with a small amount of Chinese characters, Ao Tang even guessed with Meng can understand, and according to the unit conversion mentioned in Lao Hong's book, he knew the details of this tribute ship.

There are probably more than 10,000 catties of sulfur, more than 10,000 catties of Sumu, more than 10,000 catties of raw red copper, 500 knives, more than 100 paper fans, and more than 100 kinds of utensils.

Sulfur, sumac, this knife, paper fan or something, has long been useless, raw red copper is only 5 tons, but considering the quality of ancient copper, as well as the relatively low recovery price, it is estimated that it is worth more than 100,000 at most, and it is only 200,000 in the sky. As for the more than 100 kinds of utensils, there are also twenty or thirty pieces of gold and silver.

These tributes alone can earn a maximum of three or four hundred thousand yuan when they are transported back, which does not seem to be much for Ao Tang now, but he is not disappointed, because judging from the information in Lao Hong's novel, in addition to the tribute, there are other possessions on the trading ship.

The Ming Dynasty's initial reward to the tribute envoy was very generous, and the tribute was actually a big profit, so the daimyo rushed to pay tribute, and when the Ming Dynasty found that there were more and more tribute ships and regarded the tribute as a money-making business, the Ming Chinese were not fools and immediately reduced the reward. Therefore, in the later period, it was said that the tribute ship came to pay tribute, just as an opportunity for international trade, in addition to the tribute, it carried a large amount of gold and silver to buy Ming goods back, even if the reward was low, it could also be made up through commercial trade, and it was also very profitable. Even if you don't buy Ming goods, as long as you exchange silver for copper coins, you can make money, and at that time it was the world's largest silver exporter, and Ming was the largest silver importer.

Ao Tang found the bottom bilge of the tribute ship, only to see that it contained a large amount of silver, took a few pieces and weighed them, and estimated the volume of all the silver, and already knew the approximate amount, which should be more than a ton.

When I was at home during the Chinese New Year before, a villager was preparing to get married and went to the county seat to buy gold and silver jewelry, so Ao Tang heard about the recent silver price, which was almost six or seven yuan per gram. Even if it is calculated by one ton and six yuan, there are six million.

Ao Tang couldn't help but take a breath, he didn't think that more than six million, for him now, six million is really not much, but this money is easy to come by! Others work hard to make money, he can find a wreck for six million, and he doesn't need to look for it, his subordinates of the water tribe have already found it for him! In the future, dozens of aquarists will be assigned to conduct carpet searches in the sea, and he only needs to salvage treasures regularly!

A small ancient trading ship is actually not a big treasure, as well as a large silver ship between Spain in the Americas and Manila, as well as countless porcelains from the South China Sea Water Silk Road, and the gold ships that the colonists frantically plundered from the colonies on the eve of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, his target is not only the East China Sea, not only China's waters, not only the Pacific Ocean, but also the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean have countless shipwreck treasures.

Ao Tang was full of ambition, China's current salvage technology is not good, so he can only watch others salvage, and even foreign cultural relics dealers go to China's waters to salvage shipwrecked cultural relics. And now, well, now that he's got the idea of seizing the shipwreck's treasure, there's no longer the foreigner's turn!

But what now? If you want to talk about a ton of silver, he can still hold it in the state of turning into a dragon, but when he gets to the shore...... What's more, it's not easy to carry a ton of silver after going ashore?

Ao Tang thought about it, didn't touch the silver, nor did he touch the raw copper, but just selected a few small and delicate pieces from those gold and silver utensils and put them in the bag before. Anyway, the shark armor knows this point, and can come and pick it up at any time, or simply build some boxes and wire ropes, so that the shark armor can transport all the valuable things to a certain deep sea area and hide them, with the body of the shark armor of ten tons, there should be no pressure to carry a ton or even several tons of heavy metals.

In the future, other shipwreck treasures will be dealt with in this way, and Ao Tang will pile up a treasure mountain in the deep sea, and when he has a way and a channel in the future, he will slowly take it out and digest it.

With his mind already decided, Ao Tang embarked on the return journey under the guidance of the shark armor, and had just swam a few kilometers when he suddenly sighed softly: "Could it be that I am really lucky tonight?" ”

"What's wrong, Lord Dragonlord?"

"Hehe, I see a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean below." Ao Tang became proud, the previous ones were all shark armor that had been discovered a long time ago, and now this was the first shipwreck he had discovered.

The shark armor admired in his heart, in the end, it was the Dragon King, his eyesight was really developed, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of meters below, and it couldn't see anything. immediately dived down with Ao Tang, and soon came to the vicinity of the wreck.

Looking at the style, it should be a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, which is larger than the trade ship just now, Ao Tang can't help but rejoice, I don't know if there are any valuable goods loaded? Let's hope it's not tea, raw silk, silk and the like, which can't withstand seawater soaking.

Just as he was about to step on the deck, Ao Tang's heart suddenly moved, the dragon scales had covered his body, and with a pop, a rusty iron gun stabbed out of the cabin, poked at the dragon scales, and broke instantly.

Ao Tang was shocked in his heart, Nima's, in the sea at a depth of 100 meters, would be attacked? How can it be! Glaring at the dragon's eyes, he suddenly saw the enemy, which turned out to be a giant octopus in the Pacific Ocean! What's even rarer is that this giant octopus has several weapons wrapped in its wrists and feet!

These weapons were apparently from the treasure ship, and the giant octopus apparently used this as its nest and Ao Tang as an intruder. Ao Tang knew that the octopus would use tools, but he didn't expect to encounter an octopus wielding a sword, a spear and a halberd, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
