Chapter 968: Shipwreck Treasure
The Red Star was moving fast on the sea, but it was not calm......
There are naturally monsters in the sea of "Moon Wars", and these sea monsters are basically huge guys, even if there are smaller ones, they are all extremely numerous.
So, just as the Red Star sailed some distance away from the shore, a large group of winged strange fish suddenly appeared on the side of the ship, and quickly cut towards the Red Star one after another.
"Damn! It's a highly poisonous manta ray! ”
Gu Dawei shouted, and directly detonated the M2 heavy machine gun in his hand......
"Dada...... Dadada......"
Bullets were fired out of the barrel of the gun as if they didn't need money, and the flying shells rained down on the deck.
The highly poisonous manta rays that were hit by the bullets also fell into the sea one after another, but there were still many manta rays that continued to rush out of the sea and kept leaning towards the Red Star.
Seeing that these manta rays were about to rush to the side of the ship, Bai Lidu immediately took down the Soul Snatcher Banner and inserted it on the deck of the Red Star......
The Ancient Soul Snatcher Banner is planted on the ground, and it can deal 16,000 points per second of defense-ignoring fixed damage to hostile targets within 160 meters of the surrounding area, and the slow effect of Death Retardation has also been increased to 65%!
Therefore, what everyone saw was that the speed of these manta rays not only dropped sharply, but also floated up 16,000 damage points above their heads at the same time......
Two seconds later, all of these manta rays were deducted from their blood and fell into the sea in unison, and the whole scene really looked like dumplings.
Hong Yaoyang, who was piloting the Red Star, originally wanted to sail the ship away from this sea area, but after seeing the horror of Bai Lidu's skill, he no longer had the slightest worry and continued to sail quickly towards the target sea area.
With this kind of killing effect, Bai Lidu naturally will not retrieve the Soul Snatcher Banner again, and for a moment, he is even thinking that if he has no place to level up in the future, he can actually find a sailboat, and then insert the Soul Snatcher Banner into the boat, then, as long as he stays on the boat and goes with the flow, he should also have a good hang-up effect.
It can be said that this Soul Snatching Banner is simply an artifact for leveling up!
Under the constant guidance of the player in charge of keeping an eye in front of it, the Red Star quickly sailed to its destination and stopped, and not far ahead was an unknown island.
After a while, a small patrol boat with two people on board also quickly approached, and one of them quickly jumped from the boat, jumped onto the metal gangway on the bow side of the Red Star, and then quickly climbed onto the boat......
Red Star Twinkle also walked from the cockpit to the deck, waiting for the other party to arrive.
"Report to the captain, the ship of Little Japan has docked on the other side of the island, and some people have landed on the island as well."
"Hmm...... Great, do you know what the name of this island is? ”
"Report to the captain, according to the map positioning and the investigation just now, this island should be called Niushan Island."
"Niushan Island!" Hong Yaoyang was also very surprised when he heard the name of this island.
"What? Where does this island come from? Bai Lidu on the side also asked curiously.
"Hmmm! This Niushan Island not only has a history, but also has a great history! ”
Next, through Hong Yaoyang's quick confession, Bai Lidu learned that this Niushan Island was also involved in a very famous shipwreck at the end of World War II, which is the so-called Awa Maru sinking incident.
The protagonist of the sinking of the Awa Maru is a 10,000-ton passenger and cargo ship called the "Awa Maru", and it is natural to hear from the name of this ship that this ship belonged to Japan at that time.
On April 1, 1945, the Awa Maru, which was sailing from the Philippines to Japan, was suddenly bombarded by four torpedoes fired by the U.S. "Queenfish" while passing through the waters of Niushan Island, and the Awa Maru sank to the bottom of the sea in just three minutes.
The reason why this shipwreck is so famous in history is that in addition to the death of more than 2,000 Japanese officers and soldiers and their families on board at that time, the most important thing is that this ship was also loaded with nearly 10,000 tons of valuable cargo, and this nearly 10,000 tons of valuable cargo obviously fell to the bottom of the sea together with the ship's explosion and sinking.
According to a list of goods submitted by the US authorities to the Chinese government, the cargo on board at that time included 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of industrial diamonds, 40 boxes of handicrafts, 3,000 tons of tin ingots, 2,000 tons of aluminum ingots, 2,000 tons of rubber, and some other rare metal ores, which were also about more than 2,000 tons.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call this nearly 10,000 tons of goods, whether it was put at that time or now, to be called a priceless treasure, and the 40 tons of gold alone were worth billions of dollars at that time.
"Damn! I know! These Japanese players must have come here for the treasures on these sunken ships......" judged the Oriental Giant Cannon on the side.
"However, as far as I know, our Huaxia took more than three years in the late seventies of the last century, and we did a relatively thorough ......salvage of Awa Maru in this sea area," Gu Dawei also added.
"Salvaged? The result? Did you catch that batch of gold? In Bai Lidu's view, among the nearly 10,000 tons of goods, the most valuable is actually the batch of gold, so he asked.
"Huh...... It is said that at that time, only tin ingots, rubber, mercury and other ordinary materials were salvaged from the water, and the total weight was only more than 5,000 tons, which was not only less than half of the expected goods, but also valuable things such as gold, but not even a shadow was seen. Hong Yaoyang also said immediately, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Is it possible that the gold was so heavy that it sank deep into the silt at the bottom of the sea, so it was not discovered at the time?" Bai Lidu asked thoughtfully.
"Although there is such a possibility, but in connection with three years, thousands of people have not been able to unearth even a single piece of gold, then this possibility is almost zero, and the two most recognized speculations at present are that either the ship did not contain this batch of gold at all; Either someone grabbed this batch of gold and other valuable goods in advance before Huaxia secretly salvaged them. ”
"Hmm...... Reasonable. ”
Subsequently, after a burst of discussion, everyone came to a conclusion, that is, if this game is a more realistic reflection of real events, then at this moment, in the bottom of the sea, even if there is really a wreck of the Awa Maru, it should have been salvaged, that is, the legendary 40 tons of gold, platinum and diamonds, etc., are not in the water, and this group of Japanese players sailed here and landed on Niushan Island, and most of them have a great relationship with this batch of lost shipwreck treasures... …
