Chapter 272: Heavenly Punishment?

The shape of the bell is not too big, it looks like this is the clock on the old ship, but the bells on the old wooden ship are generally bronze, and this bell is a little too small and the material is also silver, the height is only about 20 centimeters, and the diameter of the lower mouth is about 10 centimeters.

After looking at it for a while, Bei Hai put the box into the space, and then carried the bell into the bridge and put it under the lamp to look at it carefully.

Generally speaking, when the clock is cast, the name of the ship and the date of casting will be engraved on the surface of the clock, that is to say, you can find out which ship it is and when it was built.

When he arrived at the bridge of the boat, Bei Hai carefully saw the inscription on the bell, but unfortunately Bei Hai did not fully understand, because the letters were still a little like the tone in pinyin from time to time, and it was estimated that it was about French or something.

However, when Bei Hai opened the bell and looked inside, he couldn't help frowning, although he didn't know what the east of the bell was called between the European bells in the past, but the owner of the silver bell was very interesting, and made a piece of blue irregular frosted glass as a hammer to ring the bell, this frosted glass is not very large, that is, five or six centimeters in diameter.

In the whole broken bell that was fished up, Bei Hai only knew the four letters of the year, and the words 1714 were written on it. Bei Hai deduced from this point that the ship with the name of the bird is either France or any country that Europe itself does not know, anyway, it is generally France, don't look at the fact that English is now rampant and domineering, in fact, in the history of Europe, French is the universal aristocratic language, and after the British made their fortune, there was the rise of the United States to have the status of today's English in the world.

Anyway, it's the night shift, and Bei Hai is idle here, so he just went directly to the Internet to search for archaeological altars or chat rooms, and then used his mobile phone to pat the text on the clock and send it directly to the Internet. The next thing is to wait for a reply.

People who do archaeology or archaeology enthusiasts may be night owls, and someone replied to Bei Hai's thing within five minutes of being posted on the Internet. Not only did he reply, but someone soon said the detailed information of the ship below, which couldn't help but make Bei Hai a little surprised.

As Bei Hai guessed, the words on the clock were in French, and the name of the ship was the Olive Branch, but it was not a French ship, but a British merchant ship and a slave ship that now seems notorious, but at that time the slave trade could not be said to be a 'legitimate' business, not only the British were doing it, but almost all the great powers in Western Europe were doing it.

What surprised Bei Hai was not the problem of the slave ship, but the 1713 thing, I posted it in the forum, and soon someone could find out the information, and then roughly say what this ship is for, and which country's nationality! In line with the principle of not being ashamed to ask, Bei Hai asked this question to this group of archaeological goods.

Then looking at the following answers, I was a little admired for the hobby of foreign devils preserving materials, this thing is a little too detailed, and it is really rare that the information of a slave ship can be preserved.

"Look at how much this clock is worth!" After thinking about it for a while, Bei Hai gave Zhong a complete picture, and then asked the question he was most concerned about on the Internet, and added another sentence after speaking: "This bell is made of silver, not ordinary copper!" ”。

No matter how much foreign devils keep historical information, it has nothing to do with Bei Hai, and now Bei Hai is most concerned about how much the clock can be worth when he fished it out, how to say that the things in 1713 are famous and famous, plus it is still made of silver, how to say it, it should also be worth a little money. You can't just send yourself away with twenty or thirty thousand dollars.

"It's hard to say where your stuff belongs, it may be the captain's room or it may be owned by the owner, this thing is honestly not very valuable, but if you meet a hobbyist who specializes in collecting this, it is estimated that it can be sold for a high price of about 20,000 US dollars, and if you have more, it is not worth it."

Another continued: "It's an antique but not of much research value, it's just an ordinary slave ship, and if its owner is famous, Anthony Bacon has nothing else."

$20,000 is still a high price! Bei Hai couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it, like a basin of cold water poured from the beginning to the end, he was not interested in asking directly, and after closing the web page, he threw the silver bell into the space by the way, and he sat on the chair and drove the boat back to the original position of relying on one fishing gear, and then prepared to guide the earth dog to continue to give Pierce of the Reindeer a lesson that he will never forget.

After Bei Hai led the earth dog to swim more than half the distance, a distress signal in the bridge immediately drew Bei Hai's attention back from the earth dog.

"Arrow! What's the matter, please?" Behai paused and picked up the intercom.

"I'm Pierce of the Reindeer, my ship capsized and asked for help!".

Hearing Bei Hai's voice, Pierce on the other end immediately yelled loudly at Bei Hai's side twice, and the sound after that became more and more unclear, and soon the sound of Zizi current in the intercom overshadowed Pierce's voice, and the current sound became the kind of noise without signal in a few seconds.

"Sinking?" Bei Hai held the intercom in his hand, scratched his head a little dazedly, and said to himself: "Dude, this hasn't arrived yet, why is it sinking!" God just gave me a bell and then sank the boat he hated? ”。

After thinking about it for almost half a minute, Bei Hai directly started the engine and drove towards the direction of the reindeer, and now the arrow is not far from the reindeer, that is, less than fifteen minutes away, and the arrow that drove at full speed to save people will soon arrive at the place.

By the time Bei Hai drove the Arrow to the sea area of the Reindeer, the Reindeer's ship was gone, and there were only four unlucky people on the sea wearing life jackets and bright buoy lights in their hands. Fortunately, the wind is calm now, and the temperature on the sea is not too low, and it is quite close to the arrow, otherwise the fate of these four people will be very miserable.

"What are you doing, hurry up and pull them up," Bei Hai said as he looked at his crew from the bridge.

Because they wanted to save people, Matt and the others were naturally called by Bei Hai, but I heard that it was the reindeer that sank, and now many of these annoying goods are squatting in the water and waiting to be rescued, and everyone is a little lazy. Running to their own boat to grab fish, who likes such people, at this time, don't let them suffer a little, then when will it be!

"You're going to save people, I'll go to the bridge to have a look!" Matt yawned, said a word to Qi Yiming and the rest of Dominic and Lauren, and then raised his feet and walked towards Bei Hai.

After Qi Yiming and the three of them answered lazily, they began to prepare to throw a lifebuoy to the unlucky people floating on the sea.

Bei Hai looked at his crew with a smile and saved people, of course, the main thing was to see the reindeer, the unlucky bastards, and have some fun.

"Why did you sink the ship so well?" Matt went to the bridge and looked at his captain and asked.

"Who knows!" Bei Hai didn't mind saying a word, and then turned his head and saw Matt looking at him with a little suspicion and asked, "You don't think I did it, do you?" I told you a little bit about me, are you stupid! ”。

Matt blinked his eyes after hearing this, and then apologized to Bei Hai heavily: "It's me who wants to fork!" ”。

To be honest, Matt didn't wake up much here, and when he heard that the reindeer was sinking, he immediately remembered what he said to his own captain, of course, he immediately thought that his own captain did it. I didn't think much about it when my brain was dizzy, so I just asked. Because in the old man's opinion, it is normal to have contradictions and spears, fight and scold, and it is a bit too much to overturn other people's boats.

As for apologizing immediately after thinking about it, it's normal, his own ship is still a few nautical miles away, and Matt's imagination is not so strong to be able to command things to sink the Reindeer from such a distance. In the old man's opinion, he was a little ashamed to think that his captain's consciousness and character were so bad. How did the old man know that Bei Hai had this idea in his mind countless times, if he hadn't encountered a capsized boat this year, he would probably have done this!

"Go pull them up!" Bei Hai was not interested in saying anything to Matt, and continued to appreciate the unlucky bastards of this gang of unlucky people.

After listening to the captain's words, Matt left the bridge to help on the deck, and after the four people on the reindeer were pulled onto the ship one after another, Bei Hai walked off the bridge with Shi Shiran, and now Bei Hai looks like he is going to condole, but he is actually going to bury the stabs. Save people and save people, but it's a bit too much to make Bei Hai like these people.

Not to mention Bei Hai, the sailors of the Arrow also did the same, pulled the four people and threw them directly to the deck to make them gasp, without mentioning that these people should drink hot coffee or anything first, just around their mouths and asked: "How is it, is it cold or not" But the actual action was not at all, and even Matt brought Qi Yiming and the three were white polite greetings that thundered and did not rain.

The four of them have been soaking in the water for more than ten minutes, and now they are all a little shivering, although the past two days are not as windy and rough as the previous two days, and the temperature of the sea has also risen a little, but after all, it is already November, and the water temperature cannot be too high, plus this is pulled to the deck of the ship, blowing a small breeze at night, it feels even cooler.

Bei Hai walked to Pierce's side, and didn't mention the hot coffee, but pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why did the ship sink?" ”R1152
