Chapter 823: Finding the Shipwreck

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Sun Hongzhi nodded, and used the walkie-talkie to instruct the crew outside to put an underwater machine in the position in front of the left side of the cruise ship, whether it was a sunken ship or not, since the boss had spoken, he had to do what the boss said.

However, in his heart, he felt that he could not find the sunken ship at first, and he might be able to bear it, but after a long time, this young boss would definitely not be able to withstand the huge pressure, so he chose to return home.

Soon, the underwater machine qì people came to the bottom of the sea, turned on the lights, and began to explore the nearby seabed, and the high-definition camera footage was also displayed on the equipment.

Because the underwater machine and equipment they purchased on the cruise ship are all at the current advanced level, the displayed picture, although it cannot avoid some interference, but it can clearly see the situation on the bottom of the sea, the seagrass on the bottom of the sea, including the fish swimming around, are clearly displayed on the equipment, so that everyone seems to be watching an underwater world movie.

Looking at these different and colorful fish, Chen Yi showed a smile on his face, and identified the information of these fish through the picture of the equipment.

On the surface of the sea, it is endless, and it seems to be a plane, but the bottom of the sea is different, with the same mountains and abysses as the land, in fact, the submarine continental shelf is the natural extension of the land to the sea.

In this endless, uneven submarine mountain range, it is not easy to find the shipwreck, and if you are negligent, you will miss it.

Chen Yi has already identified the seabed in the nearby waters, although at his current level of identification. It is not yet possible to identify the entire sea. But identify a certain part. It's still okay, just like land, he can't identify them all, but with his advanced identification skills, there is no problem in identifying one or two mountains.

He was very happy to be able to identify the mountains, because of the materialized display function. He can materialize the identified objects with aura or energy values, and these mountains, materialized, are simply a good helper in fights.

When fighting, when others punch, he throws a mountain over, but these are just thinking about it in his mind, with his current identification point. It's okay to materialize a mountain. But after materialization, he may not be able to stay on this earth.

Some institutions of the state will definitely slice him, even if he has his current status, he cannot completely block the will of the country.

Chen Yi had already formed an image of the situation on the seabed in his mind, so when he saw that the machine was about to walk near the wreck, he gave him a little guidance so that he could find the wreck faster.

"I seem to see something, a little to the left." Seeing that the shipwreck was about to be found, Chen Yi couldn't help but remind.

The crew member who controls the underwater machine moved the machine to the left, and the high-definition camera attached to the machine was aimed at the shipwreck.

Under the illumination of the high-definition camera, this shipwreck, which has been sunk at the bottom of the sea for one or two hundred years, was displayed on the screen of the device.

"It's a ship, haha, we found it, we found it." When Chen Yi saw the ship, he shouted loudly without hesitation, this was also the psychological expression he had when he found the shipwreck just now.

With Chen Yi's shouting, the people in the entire equipment room stood up one by one, cheering and shouting, originally they didn't have any hope of finding the wreck, but now, with their efforts, a wreck was really discovered by them, and this excitement made it difficult for everyone to control themselves.

Sun Hongzhi also showed excitement on his face, he really didn't expect that they could really find the wreck, others didn't know, but he clearly knew that some of the key credits for finding the wreck belonged to his boss.

Because it was under his eyesight that they could find the wreck so lightly, otherwise, they might not have put an underwater machine to check the shadow just now, even if they put one down, there was a certain possibility, and they couldn't find it.

"Brother Sun, inform the divers to get ready, we need to know the general state of this wreck clearly, and then consider how to salvage it." Next, Chen Yi assigned some tasks to Sun Hongzhi.

Sun Hongzhi nodded, and the five divers put on diving suits, put on oxygen tanks on their backs, and then entered the sea, heading towards the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea.

As for the situation near the wreck, Chen Yi can be said to be very clear, if the skill he has now is an intermediate identification technique, he will not be able to identify the seabed in this area at all, and similarly, he has also made some appraisals for some things on the wreck.

It's just that there are a lot of things on the ship, and he can't identify them all, so it is estimated that he will have to sit here to replenish his energy value for a whole day.

The location of the sinking of this shipwreck is more than ten nautical miles away from the place marked on the treasure map, and with the advanced equipment on their current cruise ship, if there is no command from the swordfish, I am afraid they will have to search for many days, let alone someone like Wu Qisheng who comes to try their luck.

With Wu Qisheng's character, it is impossible to spend a huge amount of money to buy detection equipment, these more than ten nautical miles are easy for Chen Yi, but in the vast sea, if you want to find it, you can only try your luck, so it is reasonable that Wu Qisheng did not find this wreck.

Worth 10 million to 50 million, such a wreck can be said to be a very rare storage in the marine salvage industry, to identify the accuracy of the system, this wreck to be salvaged, its value is within this range, that is, the value of the sea salvage items.

After all, compared with the heirloom porcelain, Hailao porcelain has great defects, and their value will become very low.

Chen Yi now believes very much in what Wu Qisheng said, this is a cargo ship that his ancestors and several merchants went bankrupt, and it has been stored in the sea for one or two hundred years, and it can still have such value, in ancient times, I am afraid it is even more remarkable.

Soon, after more than two hours of exploration, the basic situation of the wreck has been fully grasped, and after the exploration of divers, there are many wooden boxes on these wrecks, but some of the wooden boxes have been broken, and the contents are scattered, and some have been broken.

The divers also took some of the broken porcelain pieces and other things from the box, and in addition, they also took some complete pieces of porcelain.

After seeing these things being picked up, Chen Yi, Sun Hongzhi and the others showed a strong joy on their faces, even if Chen Yi had already mastered the identification technique and knew some of the items in the wreck, but now when he really saw it, his heart still couldn't help but be excited.

These porcelain pieces and porcelain, identified by Chen Yi as the works of the folk kiln in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, are just ordinary utensils in the folk kiln, and are not considered masterpieces.

In addition to the porcelain pieces, there are some silk and tea leaves, but after a hundred or two years of soaking in seawater, some tea leaves have been oxidized and become inedible.

However, according to Chen Yi's identification, some of the tea leaves packed in the depths of the cabin have not been oxidized, and after being identified by the system, the information says that they can still be drunk.

During this period of preparation for salvage, Chen Yi also read a lot of historical books about salvage, one of which is very famous, that is, Sweden's Gothenburg, which is a famous Swedish ocean-going merchant ship in the Age of Discovery, which has sailed to Huaxia Lingzhou three times.

However, in 1745, the Gothenburg set off from Lingzhou to return to China, and the ship was loaded with 700 tons of Chinese goods, including tea, porcelain, and silk, which were estimated to be worth more than 200 million Swedish silver coins if they were transported to Gothenburg.

Unfortunately, while sailing to the surface of the sea only 900 meters from the port of Gothenburg, the bow of the ship hit the reef and sank, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

At that time, the Swedish side had already carried out salvage and recovered something from the bottom of the sea, and more than 200 years later, in 1987, Sweden again salvaged the wreckage and recovered some tea from it.

It is a miracle that some of the tea leaves that have been buried by sea water and mud for so long after more than 250 years can still be drunk.

Tea, porcelain and silk, the three essential items of China's maritime trade, were also stored on this ship.

One of the divers ventured into the cabin, where he found some cargo, and even several human remains.

After some investigation of the whole ship, a topographic map of the vicinity of the wreck was drawn, and according to Sun Hongzhi's introduction, Li Qitao and dozens of other soldiers had the experience of salvaging the shipwreck in the sea, which made Chen Yi full of joy.

For Yue Tianhao, he was even more grateful in his heart, these soldiers who had experience in salvage and Li Qitao, the captain, I am afraid that Yue Tianhao deliberately found them, these soldiers can provide a lot of help in the salvage process, and can avoid some troubles.

Although Chen Yi has read some salvage books, he has no experience in salvage, and now, he doesn't have to worry about this problem.

After studying the condition of the entire wreck and some conditions on the seabed, Li Qitao and others gave several salvage plans, one of which is the most suitable, with the existing salvage equipment on their cruise ship, the entire wreck can be salvaged at one time and then lifted out of the sea.

After some discussions, everyone decided on the salvage plan, and decided to salvage some wooden boxes scattered around the wreck this afternoon, so as to familiarize themselves with the performance of the salvage equipment, and then salvage the wreck as a whole tomorrow morning.
