Chapter 981: Treasure

"Of the more than 500 people on the entire Shenlong, 200 are women?" Qin Mingyue said in surprise.

Han Peacock said with a smile: "More than one-third are women, and men and women are not tired of working together." ”

Liu Fu said: "You really gave a high salary? ”

Han Peacock said: "Not only high wages, but also high benefits, otherwise how many girls are willing to float on the sea all year round?" ”

"Can you really pay for yourself?" Qin Mingyue asked.

Liu Fu said: "How can everyone's monthly salary not be reduced by 10,000 yuan, right?" The monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is high in the inland, but it is also at the average level in the big coastal cities, and the seafarers who go to sea, without 10,000, are not attractive at all. ”

"This trip to the South China Sea has gained a lot, as long as you get on the boat, you will understand." I saw the Shenlong from afar.

Even in the world's first-class water port terminals, the Shenlong is also the largest type of giant ship, and the Shenlong is docked alone at a small cargo terminal at this time, and some warriors are on guard around to prevent some curious people from approaching.

Only some trucks pulling containers, driving onto the Shenlong from time to time, and unloading on the Shenlong, showed a trace of Shenlong's vitality.

Han Peacock's convoy also drove directly into the Shenlong and stopped in a special warehouse.

After getting out of the car, Han Peacock saw Lu Ming, but the most conspicuous thing was not Lu Ming, but the woman with outstanding demeanor standing next to Lu Ming.

"Are you Li Lan? Completely cured? Han Peacock said to Li Lan with a smile on his face.

Li Lan's face was originally pale, but now she looked red. That healthy color can't be hidden.

"I haven't had a chance to rest Mr. Han, this time I heard that you are going to board the ship from here, so I came here to thank you." Li Lan always spoke so softly, but her voice was not low, but with a hint of magnetism, which was comfortable to listen to.

Han Peacock looked at Li Lan and said with a smile: "You don't blame me for getting Lu Ming to the sea and separating your husband and wife for a long time." I'm grateful. How can you go out of your way to thank me? It can't be that Lu Ming misses you and deliberately finds such an excuse to trick you into getting on the boat, right? ”

"Are you Lu Ming's lover?" Liu Wu and Qin Mingyue all looked at Li Lan curiously, they had naturally heard about the two of them, such two good people met together. It's really rare in this world.

Li Lan said: "The two sisters-in-law are good. ”

"Haha. Let's not stand here and talk. Let's go to the command room! I'm curious about what I learned. Han Peacock was afraid that Liu Wu and Qin Mingyue would be embarrassed, so he immediately spoke.

While Lu Ming glanced at Qin Mingyue suspiciously, Li Lan greeted the two sisters-in-law. That's because Lu Ming told Li Lan that Liu Wu and Zhou Meiren were both Han Peacock's wife, and she didn't care about what she said, and offended one of them, but now, Qin Mingyue is not Zhou Meiren, and Han Peacock is also very strange, so she didn't make a correction.

Walking into the command room, Lu Ming immediately turned on the projector and began to play their harvest journey.

"Since entering the South China Sea this time, we have been sailing along the 'Gold Coast' favored by illegal salvage elements -- Xiaori Island, an administrative village in Nanri Town, which belongs to Pu and Tian City and consists of 111 islands and reefs.

The island is an inconspicuous island among the many islands and reefs, and due to the discovery of a large number of ancient porcelain from the sea nearby, the little-known island of the island became famous overnight. ”

Han Peacock saw that in the picture, close to Xiaori Island, the speedboat drew a beautiful arc and slowly stopped on the sea.

"The shipwreck is near here, and the guide who accompanied us on the ship was familiar with the environment many years ago and participated in many illegal salvage operations." Lu Ming pointed to the sea in the picture.

Han Peacock looked at the northern foot of Xiaori Island in the picture, completely deserted, and there were no ships on the sea as far as his eyes could see, and even the seagulls that could be seen everywhere in the past were no trace at this time.

"There is also a small island a few nautical miles away from Kori Island, which is called the "Ancient Silk Road" by forming a narrow sea passage together with Island D and Island E and Island S in a certain direction. ”

"It was in this area, the most time, the coast guard has seized nearly 100 illegal salvage ships, more than 2,200 pieces of porcelain on the seabed, don't look at it is very quiet now, the scene at that time, chaos!"

As the video kept playing, Lu Ming's introduction became more and more: "After entering May, there are often people illegally salvaging undersea porcelain in the waters of Xiaori Island, so there are many coast guard patrol ships in this area.

However, most people are petty fights, and when they encounter the coast guard, they will take the porcelain that has been stolen up, jump on the speedboat and flee, often leaving behind the scene is a high-powered engine ship, and the ship will be scattered with some ancient porcelain fragments and salvage equipment.

At the beginning, we locked the route according to these clues and continued to sail south to avoid conflicts with domestic coast guard ships. ”

"On May 11, two illegal salvage vessels that hastily cut anchor ropes and tried to escape to the island and reef area did not escape the pursuit of coast guard patrol boats, and 12 illegal salvage personnel and more than 70 pieces of ancient porcelain that had just come out of the water were captured on the spot in the waters near Xiaori Island.

After receiving the news, we conducted a close search of the reef area, and two days later, we found an ancient wooden ship of about 40 tons sunk on the bottom of the sea, and a large number of plates, bowls, saucers and other porcelain were scattered around it.

This is our first harvest, through guò cleaning, salvage, we from this 300 years ago Qing Dynasty shipwreck, out of the water more than 90 kinds of shapes, nearly 10,000 pieces of general jars, phoenix bottles, tube flowers, goblets and other precious cultural relics. ”

"Perhaps the domestic crackdown on illegal salvage is strengthening year by year, so in the domestic waters, the number of illegal salvage ships has decreased a lot, and at the same time the increase is the ocean-going salvage ships.

Although they have all been salvaged once, or have been sunken many times. However, due to the obsolescence of the equipment of those salvage ships, we still have a huge harvest, and for more than ten days in a row, we salvaged tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain from various periods such as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the entire South China Sea, six or seven shipwreck sites have been discovered, and there is no way to determine how many shipwrecks will emerge now, but shipwrecks are certainly indispensable, all of which are hundreds or thousands of years old.

Historically. Due to the underdevelopment of nautical knowledge, technology and equipment. There is a high chance that a merchant ship will be shipwrecked due to a typhoon, heavy rain or even a tsunami while sailing.

No one knows how many shipwrecks are sleeping at the bottom of the sea, no one knows how many valuable treasures are in the shipwreck, and what we can do. Just try to compete for the target that is targeted by foreign salvage companies.

But our strength. Compared with those large and small companies abroad. It's still a little worse, after all, the number of people is there, and we can't stop too many salvage ships from carrying out destructive salvage with the Shenlong alone. ”

Tong guò Lu Ming introduced. Han Peacock knew that some foreign poachers were well-organized, and some even formed "joint-stock companies" with huge funds, employing professional divers and implementing salvage plans in the form of partnerships and high salaries.

These people chase profits, completely destructive salvage, the shipwrecks that have been swept away by such large companies, often there is nothing left, Lu Ming is in the unbearable situation, after asking Han Peacock for instructions, only on a stormy night, some foreign too arrogant salvage ships attacked.

In the following month, as long as it encountered wind and rain, the Shenlong launched a destructive attack, so that five attacks were carried out, and the foreign salvage ships roaming the South China Sea have basically disappeared.

"You waited until all the salvage ships from all the countries had left, didn't you?" Han Peacock chuckled.

Lu Ming said: "If they don't leave, how can we leave?" ”

"No one found out we did it, did they?" Han Peacock said.

Lu Ming said: "Suspicion will definitely be suspected, but every time it attacks, the Shenlong is three hundred nautical miles away from the attacked salvage ship, plus the weather is bad, it is not easy for them to find evidence of our attack, and we have also conducted several military exercises over there, so it is normal for some of our exclusive bomb fragments to be scattered in the nearby seas." ”

"How much have you gained from this trip?" Qin Mingyue finally couldn't help but ask.

Lu Ming smiled at this time: "This harvest is not small, including more than 400,000 complete pieces, but less than 100,000 of them are well preserved, and 200,000 pieces can be repaired, and the remaining more than 100,000 pieces are damaged, even if they are repaired, they will not restore the old view, as for the broken porcelain, it is too much." ”

"The only thing you harvest is porcelain?" Liu Wu asked.

Lu Ming said: "Of course, there will not only be porcelain, like some ancient swords, spears, cannons, and some gold and silver products, gems, diamonds, etc., among which the diamond is the least, only found once, it must be a foreign shipwreck."

The second is gemstones, the number is not very much, and then there is gold and silver, this number is more, all the shipwrecks, as long as you search carefully, you can harvest some silver and gold, of course, gold and silver jewelry will not be less. ”

"Mingyue is interested in ancient jewelry, why don't you take a batch and let us have a look?" Willow catkins said.

Lu Ming said: "What we found was a shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, the harvest is not small, I will let people send it, these things, those female crew members on the ship recently went to sort it out, and now they have all been cleaned up." ”

"They? This requires specialized knowledge. Han Peacock said.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "The work on the ship is a bit boring, so since they like it, I asked the appraiser who accompanied the ship to teach them some professional knowledge, so that they can not only find some fun, but also share some work." ”

"If they do a good job, they can't be allowed to work in vain, clean up and restore antiques, give them a rating according to the restoration process, and work in the future, according to their grade, and give them corresponding benefits." Han Peacock thought for a moment and said.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "In this way, boss, you need to add a lot of expenses." ”

"What? None of them are of low rank? Han Peacock asked curiously.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "The Su zhì of this batch of female crew members we recruited is very high, plus women like beautiful things, and the things we salvage, even those porcelain, are very beautiful."

Women love this kind of thing more, so they learn professional knowledge such as restoration, which is much faster than the male crew on the ship, and after more than a month of life on the ship, they have learned a lot of things, and if they are rewarded according to the level of the appraiser, everyone will be rewarded. ”

"This is no problem at all, the stronger their ability, the more benefits they bring us, and now the ship has returned, so the promise made before going to sea must be implemented as much as possible, especially the salary, which must be distributed before the crew disembarks, don't wait for them to leave the Shenlong and return home for vacation, our reward has not been implemented, it is dishonest." Han Peacock said.

"Wow!" At this time, an exclamation disturbed the conversation between Han Peacock and Lu Ming, and Han Peacock looked over and found some jewelry in the tray.

"This is the thirty-eight hairpins of flowers blooming and rich."

"Eight white jade ruyi."

"Four branches of colorful stone and gold Ruyi."

"One hundred and twenty-eight hairpins"

"Twenty-two pieces of medium white jade"

"Three hundred fine round pearls, six hundred medium pearls."

"There are six medium-grade cat's eyes, two of which are damaged."

Qin Mingyue casually opened a plate, revealing a plate of glittering hairpins, under the illumination of candlelight, the golden light was shining, and the room was full of brilliance.

Han Peacock picked up one of them and was ready to take a closer look, as soon as he picked it up, it was heavy, and as soon as he got it, he immediately knew that it was genuine, and he played with it lightly under the light.

Putting down the hairpin, Han Peacock and Lu Ming all looked at Qin Mingyue, and she began to uncover the red cloth one by one.

This tray contains bracelets, and the next plate is a necklace, the material is all real gold, but the style is a bit old.

Qin Mingyue checked and commented at the same time, while the others only listened, even Han Peacock and Liu Wu, two well-read experts, did not have much research on this kind of thing.

In the end, Qin Mingyue and the daughters all came to Han Peacock and Lu Ming, there were two trays on the table of the two of them, Qin Mingyue stretched out her hands, one left and one right, and opened the two pieces of red at once.

As soon as the red cloth was pulled open this time, everyone in the room suddenly had a feeling that their eyes lit up, and everyone knew that all the good things were here.

"This world is full of snobs, and it's a shame that good things are actually delivered to the two of you who don't understand anything." Qin Mingyue's eyes didn't leave the tray, but her mouth kept talking.

"Therefore, it is also a kind of ability to look at the eyes, although you are an expert in this area, but who has the final say here and who is the boss, they are still very clear." Han Peacock said with a smile. (To be continued......)
