Chapter 182: Luck is Strength!
At the bottom of the huge chest, there was only one ruby, and nothing else.
After a while, Lin Chuan came back to his senses and complained: "Isn't it too wasteful to use such a large iron birch box to hold such a small piece of ruby?"
After the last trip to the ghost ship, Ye Xuan knew that the contents of the iron birch box would definitely not be as simple as they seemed.
The ruby in front of me should have some connection with the diary.
Thinking of this, he reached out and picked up the ruby and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
The whole ruby is about the length of the index finger, with obvious traces of processing on the surface, showing a long strip shape, with thin ends at both ends, and the eight faceted incisions are extremely flat, and the water chestnut angle is distinct. The fingers are extremely smooth to the touch, as if they are natural, and there is no trace of jerkiness.
The color of the gemstone is deep and intense, and the bright light of the strong flashlight hits the gemstone, reflecting a metallic luster, and it is impossible to see the inside at all. After a moment of closer inspection, he noticed that there were faint purple streaks on the deep red surface of the gem.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan suddenly spoke: "This thing is not a ruby. β
"Awesome my brother, you also have research on gemstones?" Lin Chuan was stunned and said in surprise.
Ye Xuan shook his head and explained, "There is no research, but this thing doesn't look like a gem no matter how you look at it. And it's clear that there's only this thing in the whole box, and the material of the box is iron birch, but the metal detector can sound an alarm, what does that mean?"
Lin Chuan slapped his thigh suddenly, and said in surprise: "It shows that there is still treasure under the soil pit!"
Well, the brain circuitry of this thing is really amazing.
For a while, Ye Xuan looked at him as if he was staring at the mentally retarded.
"Explain that this thing is TM metal!"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan picked up the metal detector and put it on the gem in his hand. Suddenly, the shrill sirens sounded again.
Taking this piece of jewel-like metal, Lin Chuan observed it for a moment before he spoke: "I've never seen any metal of this color, D, we won't be fooled." β
Baron Hall was an Englishman at the end of the 18th century, and the technology at that time was not yet able to make such an alloy, so Lin Chuan thought so.
"I don't rule it out, but I think it's more likely that this thing is a meteorite. "The reason why Ye Xuan is so sure is because the iron birch box and the ghost ship were built in the same time, not to mention the manufacture of alloys in that era, even ordinary carbon steel was laborious, excluding artificial manufacturing, then only meteorites are the most likely.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally couldn't help it at the moment, and frantically posted barrage ridicule.
"Where's the promised box of gold?"
"Yes, this wave is not a loss, the iron birch box alone is worth a lot of money. β
"Patriarch be content, meteorites are at least worth more than electronic watches. β
With a smile on his face, in fact, the patriarch began to MMP in his heart. β
"By the way, what is the price of meteorites now?"
"Forget it, patriarch, be honest and survive in the wilderness, your luck is not suitable for treasure hunting at all. β
"Xuan doesn't save the wrong, Krypton doesn't change his life. β
Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
Bad luck?
This group of viewers is still too naΓ―ve, but on the contrary, his luck is not bad at all, but it is so good. At present, he can be sure that there must be some earth-shattering secret behind the ghost ship, and it may even be some legendary treasure.
It's just that this secret is buried too deeply, and the clues he has so far are just the tip of the iceberg. There is still a long way to go before this mystery is completely unraveled.
It's hard to seem normal, no matter which legendary treasure it is, it's not something that can be easily found with a treasure map. King Solomon's treasure is well known, but the world only sees the treasure worth $18 billion, but ignores the hardships behind it. It took two centuries and generations of hard work to bring out this legendary treasure.
"Patriarch, are these things enough for 100,000 US dollars?" Lin Chuan was a little worried that the value of these things was less than 100,000 US dollars, and couldn't help asking.
The rules of the Adventure Club are strict, and $100,000 is the value of a single treasure, not the total value of the accumulation. If the price of this box and meteorite is less than 100,000 US dollars, then Ye Xuan will have to find another treasure, which is worth meeting the conditions in order to pass the hate.
Looking at the meteorite in his hand, Ye Xuan spoke: "Meteorites are not like gold and silver, there is no fixed price. The main value of meteorites lies in scientific research, and the value of a single round of collection will definitely not be too high, I estimate that this meteorite is worth thousands of dollars at most. But rest assured, iron birch is still very valuable, and the price of this box will definitely not be less than 100,000 US dollars. β
Indeed, as he said, meteorite prices are very messy. Whether it is worth it or not, you can't see it just by looking at the volume and shape, it mainly depends on where the meteorite comes from, what the composition is, and whether it has scientific research value.
Ye Xuan was very confident in the iron birch box, because after the last time he met the ghost ship, he deliberately checked it on the Internet. Although the price of iron birch is not as good as agarwood and small-leaved red sandalwood, it is not much different, and the key is that this box is not only expensive wood, but also belongs to the category of antiques.
After all, the ghost ship is hundreds of years old, so no matter how you calculate it, the price of the crate will not be too low.
Now that the treasure has been found and the club's task has been completed, Ye Xuan's whole person has become extremely relaxed, and he smiled at the live broadcast camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's live broadcast is over here." In the next two days, I will return to China and start the next phase of wilderness survival. β
Originally, the audience was still a little reluctant and shouted that it was not enjoyable, but after hearing that the next issue of wilderness survival started two days later, it suddenly stopped making a fuss.
The next day, instead of returning to China immediately, the two drove to Darwin to apply for permanent residence permits.
After buying a house in Australia, foreigners can apply for permanent residency, and generally as long as they provide a stable work certificate, asset certificate and no criminal record, the local government will issue a certificate. As the name suggests, once you have a permanent residence permit, you can live in Australia forever. And in addition to not having the right to vote and the right to be elected, there is no difference between it and local Australian citizens, and the benefits that should be enjoyed will not be less.
Sure enough, as he expected, he got his permanent residence permit on the same day.
In the evening, the two took a plane and flew back to China.
......
Linjiang.
Global Adventure Club Division.
"Wow, what an amazing way to find the treasure in such a short time. The maid pretended to be a beautiful woman with her mouth slightly open, and her face was full of incredulity.
Ye Xuan smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a fluke." β
Hearing him say this, the maid pretended to be a beautiful woman and smiled, and said, "No, this is your strength." β
Just as Ye Xuan was about to explain, the maid pretended to be a beautiful woman and continued: "For an explorer, whether it is professional knowledge, super high IQ, or strong logical reasoning ability, none of these are important, the most important thing is luck. β
"There is an old saying in this industry, 99% of sweat and hard work are never as good as that 1% of luck. Maybe in other industries, hard work is more important, but in the adventure industry, luck is strength, and there is no difference!"
At first glance, this may sound like nonsense, but when you think about it, you will find that it actually makes a lot of sense.
Luck is a mysterious, it doesn't appear in the human senses in any form, but it does exist. The world is unfair, some people are born luckier than others, and this thing cannot be compensated for by acquired efforts.
And when it comes to expeditions, nothing is more important than luck.
To take the simplest example, the same treasure clue, Lin Chuan spent a great price at the beginning, but he never found it. In Ye Xuan's hands, the descendants of Baron Hall were found the next day, this is the importance of luck.
