Chapter 15 How many bowls of beef noodles are there?
Let the mechanical worm turn the Seawolf back to its original appearance, Nie Yun held his cheeks and thought about the future of the Seawolf.
"Where to find the big ship? It's best to be abandoned, so think about it, the shipwreck seems to be a good choice, but the larger shipwrecks are basically recovered, where to get my hands on. ”
Suddenly, Nie Yun had a flash of inspiration, there was a place where there were a large number of shipwrecks!
The South China Sea of the Rabbit Country used to be the hub of ancient trade in Asia, from Europe and Africa through the Cape of Good Hope of the ocean-going trading ships, from Southeast Asia, the Americas to Guangdong Province, Fujian Province of the trading ships, according to statistics, near the South China Sea of the Rabbit Country of the ancient shipwrecks of no less than 2,000.
In recent years, the Rabbit Country has intensified its efforts to salvage these ancient shipwrecks and unearthed a large number of rare national treasures such as porcelain antiques, but there are still many shipwrecks buried in the mud and sand of the deep sea, forgotten by history.
The waters of Nanao in the South China Sea are such a well-known shipwreck area! There have been many porcelain merchant ships of the Ming and Qing dynasties salvaged here, and the overall value is immeasurable.
Nie Yun drove the Seawolf to this sea full of treasures, because there were many ships coming and going, and the Seawolf had changed back to a tattered appearance.
Then Nie Yun was a little troubled, although there should be a lot of shipwrecks in this area, but they are all in the deep sea, how can he throw the mechanical worm on it?
After pondering and meditating, Nie Yun suddenly saw the fishing rod leaning on the edge of the boat, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
He took the fishing rod, and the hook at the top of the rod changed according to Nie Yun's mind, turning into a silver-white solid ball.
"Go ahead!" Nie Yun shook it hard, and the small ball flew far away with the fishing line more than ten meters away, and fell into the sea with a "poof", causing a small splash.
The heavy ball sank into the deep sea with a slender silver line, and from time to time a school of fish curiously circled around it.
Eventually, the ball sank to the bottom of the sea, stirring up a small flower of sediment.
Then the ball suddenly grew six slender spider legs, like a small spider, and began to search for the bottom of the deep sea.
However, the efficiency of a mechanical insect spider is too low, Nie Yun frowned, "Little ones! Need support ahead, reserves, give it to me! ”
With Nie Yun's order, some of the artifacts on the Seawolf turned into pools of silvery-white liquid, pouring into the deep sea along the fishing rod and slender fishing line.
And under the deep sea, the original little spider began to split wildly, one to two, two to four, four to eight, and after a while, the bottom of the sea was full of this little spider.
Many underwater creatures were frightened by these newcomers, and there was a small commotion under the surface of the sea.
Thousands of small spiders were frantically searching for the bottom of the sea, and Nie Yun fixed the fishing rod to the boat, and then closed his eyes to bask in the sun to replenish his lost physical strength.
As the search area on the bottom of the sea grew, the mast on the Seawolf was gone, the sails were gone, the anchor was gone, and in the end, except for some necessary skeletons, the Seawolf turned into a bare tabula rasa.
After the manpower on the bottom of the sea was sufficient, the efficiency was greatly improved, and within ten minutes, the mechanical insects made their first discovery.
Nie Yun opened his eyes, and his joy flashed.
This is a sloop, about the same size as the Seawolf, it looks like an old guy in the nineties, Nie Yun mobilized the surrounding mechanical insects to search, and the other areas continued to expand the search range.
"Well, the harvest is good, although it is wooden, but there are a lot of iron guys in it, anchors, iron sheets, enough for the children to have a full meal, but this structure does not meet the requirements, just an appetizer, keep looking! Dig three feet into the ground and find out the big guy for me! ”
Although there are a lot of robotic insects, the area of the seabed is so huge that it was not until an hour later that the robotic insects sent another message that they had found their target.
Nie Yun sensed it slightly, and suddenly the boss with his mouth open, and finally couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth, "!" ”
What appeared in front of Nie Yun was an ancient European-style three-masted sailing ship, the hull was planted in the 10,000-year-old mud and sand at a 70-degree angle, only a small part of the hull was exposed, and the surrounding area was also covered with coral reefs.
Over the centuries, the hull of the ship has been covered with seaweed, and from time to time some sea creatures have come and gone, apparently nesting in it. There were several large holes in one side of the ship, which presumably were the cause of the sinking.
These are not the point, the point is that this turned out to be an ancient battleship!
In the row of holes on the side of the hull, some of the guns can even be seen covered with patina of ancient cannons, hundreds of years have passed, and the muzzles of those black holes are still standing there, as if telling the glorious years of the past.
Nie Yun swallowed his saliva, this must be at least a thousand-ton ship, and more importantly, the artillery inside can provide a considerable amount of iron!
What else is there to say, gather the brethren and give me a hard meal! Eat until it's clean!
Countless silver-glittering mechanical bugs are swarming!
On the sea, a bare boat shelf floated on the sea, and the only things that stood out on the boat were two things, a man and a fishing rod.
This strange combination attracted many passing ships, and some even approached them, and a sailor on deck shouted to this side: "Hey, brother, are you in distress and need help?" ”
Nie Yun replied with his sincerest thanks. "No need! Thank you bro! I'm catching big fish! It's a thousand tons, and it takes a bit of work! ”
The boatload of men finally left the sea with the gaze of a madman.
The sun rises and sets, until noon the next day, the mechanical insects finally devoured all the iron objects on the ship, the number has increased by more than ten times, Nie Yun feels that it is a bit difficult to control the mechanical insects now, at least the solar energy is no longer enough for him to maintain high-intensity work, and from time to time he needs to eat a big meal to replenish his strength.
And the energy of the mechanical insect was exhausted again, he had to let the younger brothers suspend their operations, spread out on the sea surface to absorb the fierce noon sun to recharge, looking at it from a distance, a piece of silver light flashed, if you don't get close, you will think it is the reflection of the sea, so you don't worry about being discovered.
At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao's call came again.
"Hey, Nie Yun, that ancient silver coin of yours has been identified!" Chu Xiaoxiao's tone seemed to be a little strange.
"Well, how's that?" Nie Yun said casually, and then took a big bite of instant noodles. He was so hungry.
"The results of the appraisal say that your silver coin is worth at least 10 million."
"Uh, huh? Burst! Nie Yun first hummed casually, and then suddenly reacted, huh? snorted, and then squirted directly out of the noodles in his mouth, almost choking into his nose.
"Ahem! Ahem! He coughed violently for a long time.
"You...... How much do you say?! ”
"10 million, soft sister coins! At least! "Chu Xiaoxiao said angrily, out of breath!
"What!? Just that broken coin, worth 10 million? Hey, I said you didn't mean to repay me for saving my life, did you? Nie Yun said suspiciously.
"I'm not that bored! It's no problem to show you the appraisal when the time comes, you guy, you're going to have shit luck!
This silver coin is called Shuanglong Shou Coin, and a pair of bat patterns cast on both sides of the obverse of the silver coin imply auspiciousness, because the word "bat" of the bat is homophonic with the word "Fu", and the bat pattern is cast on the coin surface, which is intended to take the homonym of the words "bat" and "Fu".
Corresponding to the word "longevity" on the back, it means "happiness and longevity", which is minted by the Guangdong Provincial Mint Bureau to commemorate Cixi's 60th birthday, and the number is scarce, and it has not been seen on the market for many years.
The silver coin, which was marketed at $1.29 million a decade ago, is now valued at $10 million. ”
"In other words, my silver coin is really worth 10 million?" Nie Yun asked a little stupidly.
Chu Xiaoxiao on the other side rolled her eyes, yes, the previous words were all in vain!
"Yes! It's worth 10 million! And it's the starting price. ”
"Hmmm......"
"Hey, what's wrong, why don't you talk?"
"No, I was just thinking, 10 million is how many bowls of beef noodles."
Chu Xiaoxiao: "......"
