Chapter 680

On the second day, the salvage continued in full swing, and all the crew and underwater salvage personnel were full of energy, because the higher the value of the salvaged shipwreck treasure, the more generous the amount of prize money they could get.

The Oasis did not disappoint any of the cargo, all of which were very precious goods, boxes of gold bars, large pieces of silver ingots, and all kinds of fine ceramics, such as ivory, pearls, precious stones, and other extremely precious luxuries.

Of course, silk and cloth are also indispensable, but they have already been soaked in seawater into a lump of cotton wool-like sludge, which is a pity.

As the treasure sunk to the bottom of the sea is salvaged, simple processing is also being done on the deck, which is then placed in the storage of the ship's hold, and when the Oder returns to the port docks, it will be transported away for further cleaning.

Unlike those crew members who always focused on gold, silver, and precious stones, Xue Chen focused more on those ceramics.

Chinese ceramics are world-famous civilization in the world, from ancient times to the present, are extremely important trade goods with other countries, basically every merchant ship that sinks after leaving the country will find porcelain, salvaged up is the so-called sea porcelain.

The number of ceramics on the Oasis is not very large, but it is not a lot, and thousands of pieces were salvaged in less than two days, but unfortunately, a considerable part of them are damaged, and only a small part is intact.

Xue Chen squatted down, picked up a plate with a broken edge, cleaned up the residual sewage on it, and looked at it simply, the green pastel, depicting lotus pond flowers, is the characteristic of the porcelain of the Daoguang period, the carcass is white, the fetus is loose, and there are small bubbles in the glaze...... During the Daoguang period, most of the porcelain fired was colored porcelain and color glazed porcelain.

Colored porcelain is also pastel and blue and white porcelain. There are many kinds of colors of pastel porcelain, including coral red ground pastel, green ground pastel, yellow ground pastel, smeared red pastel and so on.

And the official kiln will also produce some bucket color and five colors.

"It's a pity, if it's not damaged, if it's a little retouched and polished, and it's auctioned, I'm afraid that it will be fought for by many people, and it can be sold for at least 100,000 US dollars." Xue Chen whispered to himself.

Andrew, who was smiling, strode up to Xue Chen's side and said very heroically: "Xue Chen, if you fall in love with that porcelain, just pick it up." ”

Xue Chen stood up and joked with a smile: "Every piece of porcelain salvaged is so exquisite, I like it very much, haha, can I take it all away." ”

"Haha." Andrew touched his head and smiled happily, "If I had become the chairman of the group, maybe I would have given you all these porcelain, but now I am not qualified to make such a big decision, so well, in addition to the one percent of the income I promised you, among all the salvage items, you can choose three items to become your personal belongings." ”

Xue Chen nodded: "Then I'll be disrespectful." ”

After chatting with Xue Chen for a few words, Andrew walked to the cockpit and told Adelaide what he had promised Xue Chen just now.

Adelaide groaned and said: "Andrew, you have already promised Xue Chen Yicheng the proceeds of this salvage, according to the current view, it must be more than 10 million US dollars, and then let him choose three salvaged treasures at will, isn't it a bit ...... Too much? ”

Andrew looked at the distance of the sea and said earnestly: "Uncle Adelaide, first of all, we have to recognize a fact, if it is not Xue Chen, even if it is a professional survey ship sent to find the sunken cargo, although the Odd is not a professional survey ship, but the underwater radar installed is the most advanced, the Odd cannot be detected, and the survey ship is probably impossible." ”

Adelaide nodded in agreement, this is indeed the case, the underwater radar carried by the Oder is a product eliminated by the US Navy through a relationship, but compared with civilian products, the performance is too superior.

However, because it was too unfortunate that the cargo sank in the central pit formed by the atoll, the radar would mistakenly mistake the cargo and the coral reef as one and ignore it.

This also means that since the Ord has no ability to discover, ordinary survey ships have no chance, that is, if it wasn't for Xue Chen to point out the sinking site at that time, they may have missed this great treasure forever.

"Also, Uncle Adelaide, if you don't talk about feelings, but only interests, this is not the first time you have done salvage, and it won't be the last, right? I think that one day, if we encounter a similar situation during salvage, I think we ask Xue Chen to help us, and he should not refuse. Andrew said with a shrewd look in his eyes.

Adelaide's eyes moved, nodded thoughtfully, and said affirmatively: "It's me who thinks too little, Andrew, you are very right, and you are very thoughtful." ”

"Anyway, Andrew, do you know how he determined where the cargo sank, and did you ask him? Is it really as the crew said, he has the blood of the god of the sea and can communicate with the fish in the sea? Adelaide asked curiously.

Andrew shook his head: "I haven't asked, so I don't know, in fact, I'm also curious, but I don't think I will ask, Uncle Adelaide, this should be Xue Chen's secret, and I don't think a person likes others to find out his secret, in short, he is a great young man from the East, and only this mysterious and ancient country can have such an extraordinary person." ”

Adelaide also felt the same way, and couldn't help but sigh.

The salvage is continuing, non-stop, without the slightest stop, which is also no way, the weather on the sea is changing, in case of continuous wind and rain weather, it will greatly delay the salvage work, so take advantage of the good weather, naturally is to step up the salvage.

When the salvage work was in progress, Xue Chen would also take a brief look at each batch of salvaged goods, and those gold and silver products and all kinds of pearls and gemstones would be ignored.

Andrew promised him that he could pick three pieces of goods salvaged from the bottom of the sea at will, and he did not shirk against his will, because he was indeed very excited, which was a great temptation for any antique practitioner.

The salvage lasted for three days, and the various goods salvaged were not ten thousand pieces, but also several thousand pieces, all locked in a sealed cabin warehouse, the value is immeasurable, and the experienced Adelaide estimates that the total value is nearly 200 million US dollars, even if it is not, it will not be too different!

This figure exhilarates all the tired crew members, and it seems that they have already seen hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money that will be deposited into their bank cards!

It was the afternoon of the third day after the salvage began, and it was almost evening, and an underwater salvage crew radioed to Adelaide, who was standing in the wheelhouse, and was wheezing heavily from exhaustion while talking.

"Mr. Adelaide, the underwater salvage has been completed, and all the sunken cargo of the Oasis has been salvaged, and now I ask for your instructions."

Andrew, who was standing on the side, showed a relaxed smile and thought, can I finally return with a full load?

Adelaide held the intercom in his hand and said, "Good work, okay, tell all the people under the water that you can get out of the water, end the ......"

Before Adelaide could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Chen, who walked to the cab.

"Mr. Adelaide, tell the people under the water that there is still a box that has not been found under the silt at a position of thirty meters to the southwest."

Adelaide turned his head to look at Xue Chen, but saw that Xue Chen had already turned around and gone out again after speaking, and after glancing at Andrew, he immediately ordered underwater: "Thirty meters to the southwest, search carefully." ”

"Yes, Mr. Adelaide."

About five minutes had passed since the order was received underwater, and a report came over the radio.

"Mr. Adelaide, report, I found another box."

Adelaide's hand holding the intercom trembled slightly, and this time he gave the order to end the salvage.

"He's really ...... It's hard to figure out. Adelaide put down the intercom and sighed with Andrew.

Andrew nodded seriously, and then smiled: "However, this is a good thing, isn't it, because he is our friend." ”

After more than ten minutes, all the front-line salvage workers under the water followed the mechanical platform out of the water, and after taking off the respirator, they all gasped for breath, and also carried the last box that was rotten but not completely broken.

Seeing this wooden box, Adelaide's eyes lit up, the boxes used for the goods on the ship are not the same according to the type and value, a small number of iron boxes, a large number of wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes are not exactly the same, a small part of the wooden boxes are made of asphalt wood, this kind of wooden boxes are moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant, and the relative value of the goods contained is higher.

He walked over and opened the wooden box, and saw that the sea water had flowed out, but there was a lot of silt and seaweed, and even some small fish and shrimp inside.

He reached out and took out something from the mud, it was a very beautifully crafted golden wine glass, and the four directions of the glass were inlaid with four oval gemstones, a sapphire, a ruby, a white jade, and an emerald!

"It's beautiful!"

Andrew walked over and exclaimed.

Adelaide nodded, thinking, not only is it beautiful, but the value must not be low, at least eight or nine hundred thousand dollars!

And there were four of the same golden wine glasses in the chest!

Adelaide now understands what Andrew had said to him, and that a hundred percent of the proceeds and the random selection of three salvaged items may really not be a big deal.

Now, a simple sentence has added three or four million dollars in earnings, how shocking it is.

Even five or six experienced professional salvage personnel who were personally under the water did not find the box buried in the silt, but Xue Chen, who had never been on the boat all along, knew that it was incredible! unimaginable!
