Yang Chao's identity is just the acting captain, and the two foreigners are the principal and deputy captains of the real brand, and as soon as the foreigner appears, Yang Chao's authority will be gone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was very concerned about this, and immediately ran into the spaceship.

"What's the news?"

Yang Chao immediately asked.

Lao Jiu didn't speak, but played a video on the screen, translated into Chinese.

"No matter what kind of person you are or what level of civilization you are, if you receive this message, please help us pass it on. We are members of the Navarre expedition in the Sirisda system, we are in danger, this message is automatically emitted by our last energy, if we receive this message, it means that we have been killed. We declare once again that we are sacrificing for the great cause of star exploration, and our sacrifice should not be an obstacle to the exploration of the magical universe by intelligent beings, and we hope that the brave future generations will continue to work hard......"

This is the last farewell eulogy for the two aliens.

"What does this mean? They're dead? ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as soon as he heard the news from these two guys just now, he still had sorrow and joy, the sad thing was that his acting captain had done it, and the happy thing was that by contacting these two guys, he would have the opportunity to leave this time and space and go back.

But they died.

"In accordance with Article 19 of the Navigation Regulations, in the event that the captain and co-captain are killed at the same time, the acting captain will take full control of the ship and continue the exploration mission, while the captain's code must be observed."

Lao Jiu mechanically preached, telling Yang Chao to obtain some new powers, such as communicating with alien civilizations in the name of the country, and so on.

In fact, it was the powers granted to him by the Queen of Spain during the Columbus expedition, or the powers of the East India Company, and the spaceship had the right to contact alien civilizations in the name of the state.

But this is of great use to Yang Chao, this spaceship can't even go up to the moon.

"Okay, so is there any news from the main power system?"

During this time, the spacecraft explored the starry sky of the universe through the singularity of time and space, and only then did it find the last words left by the captain and deputy captain, and I don't know if the main power system received any suitable news.

Lao Jiu said: "The main power system was annihilated, and an unknown failure occurred. ”

Well, the main power system is also confirmed to hang.

It's really not good news, the good news is, "Now that the rescue process has ended, shouldn't you listen to me?" ”

Lao Jiu said: "According to the captain's code, you now have full control over this ship, and the ship will completely obey your orders without endangering your own danger." ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then we can dig gold again!" ”

Lao Jiu said: "Is this your order?" ”

Yang Chao said: "Of course, you have been nesting in this place for a few years, and I have lost dozens of tons of gold!" ”

If the spaceship had been digging for gold all the time in the past few years, where would Yang Chao still worry about money.

A few hours later, the sky darkened, and three miles east from the big stone house, along the beach, not far away was a three-meter-high barrage.

The stone dam was built by Zhang Jian, and the original purpose of Zhang Jian's barrage was to reclaim this tidal flat.

It is a pity that a piece of fertile land that he worked hard to develop in the past few years has been occupied by various enterprises in the past two years, and Zhang Jian has now angrily given up this futile reclamation activity.

There was no one on all sides, and the night was silent, when suddenly a few reeds swung and then slowly rose, and the ground bulged into a large bag, and finally a huge monster came out of the earth, and the ground was dented again.

Yang Chao's spaceship came out of the soil, last time he dug a hole all the way to the bottom of the big stone house, and finally went to the bottom of the airship warehouse, with a strong digging ability, the spaceship almost has a kind of underground walking ability, and it is worthy of the name to say that he is a water, land and air plus underground amphibious spaceship.

The spaceship was stained with a large patch of mud and some plants, but the spacecraft ignored it, started directly, and in a strong jet, sailed to the surface of the sea, and the piles of mud and plants were all thrown down.

"Circumnavigating the globe in just four hours!"

The black spaceship propelled frantically against the sea, at this speed, Lao Jiu calculated that it only took four hours to circumnavigate the world, faster than all jetliners in later generations, and it swept over the waters of Japan in ten minutes, and it was still accelerating.

"Gold and silver, I'm coming!"

Yang Chao shouted, letting the spacecraft speed along the route of the Spanish galleon from Mexico to the East.

Soon there was an alarm, and the ship's speed slowed down.

Thousands of meters deep at the bottom of the sea, there is a rotten ship, a black one, no completely decayed canvas, floating along the current at the bottom of the sea from time to time, like a ghost, squid, octopus and other reptiles make their home in it, and sea snakes haunt from time to time.

"It's so spooky!"

Through the big screen of the spaceship, Yang Chao couldn't help but feel infiltrated when he looked at the situation outside.

Soon a crawling robot appeared on the screen, this is the old nine that Yang Chao has always identified, but the real old nine is actually the program of the entire spaceship.

Seeing Lao Jiu roll up boxes one by one, revealing piles of silver coins that had blackened on the surface, Yang Chao knew that he had found another silver box.

It was a galleon from Mexico to the Philippines, with a load of more than 500 tons, and of course it was impossible to pull all the silver, but silver was definitely the main cargo, and it was the Spaniards who brought down the Philippines and then exchanged raw silk and porcelain with Chinese merchants.

"Hurry up!"

After confirming that Lao Jiu had rolled up all the silver, Yang Chao immediately ordered to float, this seabed is indeed too gloomy.

Hundreds of sailing ships perished at the bottom of the sea, all the way to the coast of Mexico, Yang Chao forgot how many wrecks he had looted, only that there were more than 100 in Hawaii.

Some ships are full of silver, the amount reaches one or two hundred tons, and most of the ships actually have nothing, but there are a lot of weapons, Yang Chao can't help but wonder if it is a pirate ship, which one belongs to Captain Jack?

It took Yang Chao five days to scavenge the shipwreck, and the harvest was not a lot, but a lot, a thousand tons of silver.

Later studies have shown that during the Ming Dynasty, the silver imported into China was about 5,000 tons, half of which came from Japan, and the rest came from the American mines of the Spanish colonies, that is to say, the silver sent to China by the Spaniards was more than 2,000 tons, but I didn't expect that there were 1,000 tons sunk into the sea, and the accident rate was too high!

Of course, it is also possible that the statistics are wrong and greatly underestimate the trade volume, after all, the Ming Dynasty was forbidden by sea at that time, and it is impossible to have accurate data.

A thousand tons of silver was a great wealth in the past, but now, it is only more than 20 million taels of silver, and the tycoon in the United States who has this order of magnitude of wealth is probably calculated in hundreds of people, this is an era of sudden wealth.

Of course, Yang Chao also harvested some gold, but except for a few scattered gold coins, the rest were jewelry, and the total was only about 1,000 taels, and more than half of them were looted off the coast of America.

Knowing that this place has been almost scraped by himself, Yang Chao took advantage of the night to fly over Panama, in the legend of pirates gathered, the gold ship sailed in the Caribbean Sea for two days search, and it was really a big harvest, a full 200 tons of gold, silver still accounts for the majority of 600 tons, it seems that the Spanish were shipping gold back to Europe, and most of the silver was shipped to China.

In fact, the benefits of the Caribbean are by no means more than that, but Yang Chao's spacecraft can't be loaded, and the load of this spacecraft is only 2,000 tons, and now the cargo hold is full of gold and silver.

The point is that it will affect the performance of the ship.

Anyway, these treasures in the sea will not disappear, and they will be looted next time.

Looking at the full load of gold and silver, Yang Chao was about to cry, not excited, but regretful, if he could come here to walk around before, why would he be so unreliable to lie on the bottom of the sea and dig gold, it is really uncultured and kills.

Yang Chao really didn't expect that there would be so much gold and silver under the sea.

What Yang Chao didn't know was that there were dozens of examples of pirates looting hundreds of tons of gold and silver in accurate historical records, the largest of which was the looting of Bartholomew Roberts in the 1720s, who captured hundreds of ships from Africa to the Americas, but annoyed the British, who had already dominated the seas.

The British sent warships to chase after them, and in 1722 the British Navy blocked Roberts off the coast of Africa, and after a fierce naval battle, killed Roberts and sank a large number of pirate ships, and finally the pirates surrendered, and the British found 300 tons of golden sand on two of the ships.

Compared with the golden sands seized by the British, there is probably much more gold sunk in the deep sea.

Loaded with a boatload of gold and silver, Yang Chao flew over Panama in a relaxed mood, the sky was already a little bright, and he could barely see the Americans working underneath.

After passing Panama in an uninhabited sea, the spacecraft immediately sank to the bottom of the sea, sneaking west like a thief.

At noon, he had already crossed the vast Pacific Ocean, and on the way back, he searched the northern route of the galleon trade, that is, the route from the east to Mexico through the Japanese Warm Current, but unfortunately there was not much silver, and the fool would not transport silver from China to here, and Yang Chao was too lazy to explore in the end.

In the afternoon, he returned to the Chinese seas, hid at the bottom of the sea, and tossed all night, Yang Chao was also tired, but fortunately he slept well.

When I quietly returned to the big stone room in the evening, the watch rang wildly, and Wang Qiu and Pan Xun, the backbone of the rich and powerful party, were crazy looking for themselves.

The imperial court also sent more than a dozen telegrams, including Zhang Zhidong, Kang Youwei, Yixuan, and even Zaifeng, who had not been waiting to see Yang Chao for a long time.

There were also calls from governors in various places, such as Yang Shixiang, the governor of Zhili, Zhao Erxun, the governor of Huguang, and Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, who was most anxious, and he alone sent 30 telegrams.

The reason why these people are anxious is because the south has been hit by the disaster, and Liangjiang is the hardest-hit area.
