Chapter 272: Golden Treasure

There are countless shipwrecks in the vast ocean, and it can be said that the whole sea is a huge treasure.

Since Yu Xiaohu has the super submarine transformed from the base island, it can also be said that all the treasures in the entire sea are no longer so mysterious and difficult to find, and he can salvage them at will.

However, he will not salvage any wreck, it depends on whether the wreck has salvage value.

Therefore, on this trip, Yu Xiaohu's mission for the Ichthyosaurus and the aircraft was to detect those high-value shipwrecks or marine resources.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary small shipwrecks are just sporadic gadgets, and there is not much value in salvaging them, so Yu Xiaohu asked the Ichthyosaurus detection system to shield them, saving people from being annoyed and entangled after discovering them.

It's just that some wrecks that have been detected and have some value, the Ichthyosaurus and the reconnaissance plane will record them, whether they are interested in salvage, it all depends on whether Yu Xiaohu, the boss, is interested or not, so under normal circumstances, there will be no special prompts.

And once the assistant of the Ichthyosaurus finds a special reminder, it means that the wreck is very special and has a high salvage value.

So after Yu Xiaohu heard the assistant's prompt, he turned on the monitoring screen and asked the assistant to display the monitored picture.

According to the remote monitoring footage, most of the wreck was sunk under a trench, and the entire hull was tilted, like an upside-down onion, and it was inserted into the bottom of the trench obliquely, revealing only half of the remaining body covered by reefs and corals, as well as a large amount of submarine silt, which is not easy to find if it is not detected.

However, according to the analysis of the detection system on the Ichthyosaurus, there are a large number of precious metal resources and some ore resources, but Yu Xiaohu knows that those are gold or jade or the like. The estimate is very large to allow the Ichthyosaurus to send out a special prompt after being detected and scanned.

As a result, Yu Xiaohu sent a reconnaissance plane out of the Ichthyosaurus, infiltrated the vicinity of the trench, scanned and analyzed it in detail, and transmitted the real-time footage and data back.

Through the content displayed on the screen, Yu Xiaohu saw that the location of the wreck had very large gold reserves. It is estimated that there are about 32 tons and about 11 tons of platinum, all of which are concentrated in the part that sank under the trench.

This discovery surprised Yu Xiaohu very much, he was very curious about when this shipwreck sank, whether it was a famous shipwreck in history, otherwise how could there be such a huge amount of gold and platinum.

Soon, the machine qì man went deep into the trench and cleaned up some of the coral and other debris on the surface of the wreck. According to the traces left on the hull, Yu Xiaohu found that it was actually a dilapidated submarine.

According to the text information left on the submarine, Yu Xiaohu was even more surprised after letting the system analyze and search.

This submarine was built by the Nazis in 1942 and used mainly for resource exploration and reconnaissance transport, which was captured by the United States during World War II, but in 1980 it was secretly purchased and collected by a family consortium of Japanese island countries, and displayed in the family's exhibition hall, and was destroyed by a fire the following year. The whereabouts of the submarine are unknown.

These materials were all found in some archives of the Japanese island country, and the records were not detailed. It's very vague.

However, the Jiqì people intruded into a small archive in the United States, and found the transaction records between the submarine and the Mitsui family consortium of the Japanese island country, as well as the memorandum and guarantee signed by the two parties.

The Mitsui family stated that the submarine was only used for collection and some scientific research, and would never be launched, and if the Mitsui family defaulted, it would pay 1 billion meters in liquidated damages.

Subsequently, Yu Xiaohu asked the machine to inquire about the Mitsui family. It was discovered that the Mitsui family was also an ancient family with a history in the island country of Japan, and its rise after the war was very fast, almost able to compete with Mitsubishi and other conglomerates, but half a year after the fire, the family business began to decline. Moreover, the family members also disappeared one after another, and the whole family quickly declined, and its descendants could not continue to live, so they had to sell their property, and they were already very depressed ordinary people, relying on the government to get by.

After reading these materials, Yu Xiaohu was very interested in why this submarine appeared here and sank, and why there was such a huge amount of gold and platinum hidden in it.

However, there were only so many clues on the information and some archives, and he had no other clues to inquire about, why did this old antique, which should have been placed in the exhibition hall, suddenly run to this place near the Chinese sea and suddenly sank in this near Pacific sea after being loaded with gold and platinum?

Thinking that maybe there should be some clues left on the submarine, Yu Xiaohu sent a collector to the trench at a depth of 1,160 meters to start the collection operation.

The collector is a black technology product created by the base island, and he has a very high efficiency in collecting resources in the deep sea, and is not afraid of the turbulence and deep pressure of the deep sea.

After these people were sent to the wreck to clean up the accumulated impurities, Yu Xiaohu did not let them salvage the broken submarine, because he didn't need this broken garbage at all.

Yu Xiaohu just ordered the machine to clean up the area, and then directly drilled a big hole and went deep into the trench, focusing on the collection of gold and platinum.

About an hour later, when the collector collected the first batch of resources, Yu Xiaohu took a special look at the samples of gold and platinum, and found that this batch of gold and platinum was much purer than the gold he salvaged and collected from ancient shipwrecks, and could almost meet international standards.

In addition, in addition to gold and platinum, Yu Xiaohu also discovered industrial diamonds, tin, tungsten, titanium, rubber and other resources collected by the Jiqì people.

See these diamonds, tin, titanium, tungsten...... The total of other resources is only about a few hundred tons, and the standard of transporting submarines with that resource can be regarded as reaching the limit.

However, what caught Yu Xiaohu's attention the most was the gold and platinum that were collected one after another.

After about four hours of collecting operations, the 32 tons of gold and 11 tons of platinum were easily recovered, and not even the slag was left.

In addition, after conducting reconnaissance and probing of the submarine, the reconnaissance plane also transported the black box on the submarine and dozens of large boxes back to the Ichthyosaurus.

When those big boxes were opened, I saw that some of the boxes were filled with some diamonds and jewelry, and the other part of the boxes were filled with handicrafts, all of which were collected from some exquisite handicrafts from the East and the West, and they were also valuable antiques, which could be described as treasures, and I don't know how they were scavenged.

After seeing these treasures, Yu Xiaohu was even more curious about how these were collected, so he set his eyes on the black box of the submarine retrieved by the machine. (To be continued......)
