Chen Rui's spirit was shocked and he walked over.

It was found to be a cannon barrel, cast in iron, rusty, lying quietly in the dark, icy water, silently telling the history of that wave-like expanse.

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, computer, and mobile phone screens around the world is also in good spirits.

"A cannon barrel was found, and there could be a shipwreck nearby."

The barrel is not long, the caliber and size are relatively small, this is a light artillery,.

When Chen Rui was looking for the 'lucky star' off the coast of Cuba, he looked up some information about Spanish ships from the 16th to the 18th century, and knew a lot about Spanish ships, including the assembly of guns on Spanish ships.

The Spaniards used a variety of artillery on their ships to form their firepower: cannons, cannons, stone cannons, mortars, and swivel guns.

The barrel of this cannon found here is the barrel of a rotary gun, which was very common on Spanish ships.

It is mainly used to kill people at close range, and can fire solid shells as well as grapeslet bullets of mass personnel destruction.

According to the different types and sizes derived from the rotary cannon, it fires different important shells, the general size fires 1 pound shells, and the larger and longer ones fire 1.5 pound and 2.5 pound shells.

All cannons are reloaded, and they can be reloaded very quickly if necessary.

This is a very practical, lightweight, very useful and cost-effective gun.

The guns are usually placed on the deck or under the ship's building, and can be installed on both ships if necessary.

Chen Rui left here. I looked around the neighborhood.

Ten minutes later, a wreck was found about 200 meters from the barrel of the rotary cannon.

Viewers around the world who watched the live broadcast on television, mobile phones, and computers were also excited.

People who are working, resting, or having something to spare time from next to a stranger. Friends, netizens heard the news of the shipwreck found in the live broadcast, and turned on the TV, computer, and mobile phone to watch the live broadcast.

Major TV stations around the world found that from the moment the wreck was directly discovered, the ratings continued to climb.

And, the video networks and mobile video networks are also in happiness and pain. The happy thing is that the click-through rate has exploded, and the pain is that there are too many people watching at the same time, which leads to the video card exploding, and being sprayed into slag by the angry audience, so they don't care what reason you get stuck,.

There are many people all over the world staring at TV, cell phones, TV screens, expecting to discover a big treasure. With Chen Rui's very good knowledge of Spanish ships from the 16th century to the 18th century, Chen Rui can see at a glance that this is a Spanish galleon, and this wreck has all the characteristics of a Spanish galleon, in order to have a more advantageous length-to-width ratio of 4:1 and a high chord. The high tail building, the foredeck, the stern is flat, and there is a protrusion at the bow of the ship, like the ramming angle of an oar. The hull has a distinct equilateral trapezoidal shape and this slope extends all the way to the aft tower, and the lines are graceful.

Arguably one of the most legendary galleons in history, as the epitome of maritime supremacy in the 16th and 17th centuries, they are often associated with shipwreck treasures, pirates, conquerors and armadas, and they were pack horses toiling for the Spanish maritime empire, protecting the empire's interests on the seas and ensuring that the royal family could reap great wealth from the distant American colonies.

At this time, the former overlord of the sea was lying quietly on the side of the icy and dark seabed, the hull of the ship had been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, eroded, and had been very badly damaged, the mast without sails was obliquely and lonely, and the hull was only left with a support, dilapidated, and some marine creatures regarded this place as their habitat, and the bottom and right side of the ship were half-buried in the sand because of gravity, the effect of the current erosion.

Chen Rui swam on top of the boat.

Chen Rui found some artillery pieces on the deck, stern, sides of the ship, amidships, and in front of the mainmast, with more than 30 guns, including two cannons, four long guns, ten and a half long guns, four falcon guns, and more than 10 rotary guns.

However, it is well armed, and most of the space of the ship is used to equip artillery and soldiers who ride in the cannons, and correspondingly, there is not much space for treasures and goods, which may disappoint Chen Rui, this is an armed ship.

Sure enough, Chen Rui did not find much treasure in the cabin and cargo hold, only some gold, silver, copper ingots, coins and some utensils.

"It turned out that this was an armed ship, and I was looking forward to it in vain, and I thought it was a big treasure like the 'Lucky Star'."

"Once the overlord of the sea, now a wreck on the cold and dark seabed, through this shipwreck, I seem to see that magnificent Age of Discovery, the sea overlord Spain, the Invincible Armada, the Golden Fleet, the pirates,"

"Thumbs up!! Chen Rui. ”

"I really hope to follow Chen Rui on an adventure, just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

"I haven't watched TV for 10 years.,I deliberately bought a TV.,Lock the CCTV World Geography Channel every day.,It's really a computer.,The mobile phone is too stuck.,Give me a thumbs up for the same encounter.。

"Thumbs up!! +1”

"Does the ratings of CCTV World Geography Channel exceed CCTV1?"

"It's a must, it's a must, it's a complete CCTV1 !。"

"Looking forward to it!! There will be more exciting live broadcasts later. ”

"!! Shipwreck Graves!! ”

"What's going on??!"

"Watch the live stream!!"

In the picture, Chen Rui found two more sunken ships, a Clark cargo ship and a heavily armed Spanish galleon.

"Spanish galleon!! Two of them!! You know, the status of Spanish galleons is equivalent to the battleships of World War I and World War II, in 1588 the Spanish Armada only had 20 Spanish galleons, at the end of the 16th century, the national strength of the Spanish maritime empire was only 50 at its peak, and it was reduced to more than 20 in the mid-to-late 17th century.
