Chapter 7 The limelight is the same

Lu Yuan found a huge shipwreck buried in the sand.

Lu Yuan excitedly took out the metal detector in Xiaoding's space.

As soon as the metal detector was taken out, the "Didi" prompt sound has never been interrupted.

"It seems that this wreck has not been found!"

Lu Yuan, who was excited in his heart, did not take action immediately, but surfaced first.

When he came to the water, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the area where the wreck was located was very remote. Not at all on the waterways of the waterways.

"Could it be that this ship was brought here by the ocean currents after it sank?"

Lu Yuan guessed the origin of the ship, but soon turned his attention back to the shipwreck itself.

Because his cultivation is really limited, there is definitely no way to salvage this wreck on his own. So he first returned to the cruise ship, and then called Anthony and the others.

After doing this, Lu Yuan first measured the depth of the sea where the wreck was located, and the result made Lu Yuan very happy, because the water depth here was only 53 meters.

This means that salvage work will be much easier.

Lu Yuan calculated the distance, it would take at least two days for Anthony and the others to get here.

In order to alleviate the difficulty of salvage, Lu Yuan took advantage of the arrival of Anthony and the others, and used the water resistance technique in his water escape technique to carefully blow away the sediment on the upper layer of the wreck.

After two days of struggle, the wreck finally revealed its true face.

It is a Western-style galleon from the early colonial era. Such a ship has a large hull and deadweight capacity.

At that time, the armada of the western country was mainly based on this type of ship.

In order to prevent some unnecessary troubles in the future, Lu Yuan took out the underwater video recorder and prepared to start recording videos.

These videos are intended to be used as evidence in future international lawsuits.

As a lesson from the past, Lu Yuan also had to guard against it. A few years ago, there were two international lawsuits arising from the salvage of sunken ships.

Because the treasure hunting company did not prepare in advance, it could not prove in court that the wreck it salvaged was a merchant ship, which eventually led to the loss of the lawsuit, and all the salvaged items were recovered by the Western government.

The ship that he salvaged now is obviously also from the West, and the government of the West that has eaten the sweetness will sue him nine times out of ten.

In order to prevent others from discovering his abnormality, Lu Yuan dressed himself in a full set of underwater work equipment.

After getting ready, Lu Yuan turned on the camera and began to take pictures of his salvage work.

Lu Yuan first used the tools in his hands to continue to clean up the mud and sand around the wreck.

When Anthony and the others arrived, the shipwreck revealed his full picture.

"Hi boss, we're here!"

After receiving Anthony's message, Lu Yuan quickly returned to the water. Under his guidance, the salvage ship quickly drove to the location of the wreck!

"Even, guys, come and see, what a perfect boat!"

Because the water is not deep, and the place is far from the shipping lane, it is easy for all the crew to see the wreck.

After a short break, the big guy got to work.

Lu Yuan was the first to enter the cabin of the sunken ship. This time, however, his main job was to record the video, leaving the rest to the sailors.

After Lu Yuan entered the cabin, he found that the cabin was very dark. And there are many corpses and bones, which look extremely gloomy, and Lu Yuan's mind can't help but think of the image of the ghost ship.

While recording the video, Lu Yuan speculated how the ship sank.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that the ship must have been sunk by the storm, as there were no signs of battle on the hull itself, and all the bones were present in the cabin.

In the cabin, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the ship's logbook was still there.

From the nautical diary, Lu Yuan finally knew the name of the ship, and its name was "Vostok!"

However, most of the logbooks have been broken, and it is unclear exactly when the ship sank.

After recording it on the periphery, Lu Yuan was ready to enter the most important warehouse.

The door to the cargo hold was locked, proving once again that the ship had not been visited by other treasure hunters.

Because it had been soaked in water for a long time, the lock of the warehouse door had been completely corroded, and Lu Yuan opened the warehouse door with a slight twist.

The moment he pushed open the door, Lu Yuan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There are hundreds of large boxes in the warehouse. Most of the crates are already rotten. The contents of the treasures were also scattered throughout the warehouse.

Gold and silver coins, precious stones. Spread the entire warehouse.

"Rich!"

This was Lu Yuan's first reaction.

This scene was also recorded on camera.

Lu Yuan casually hugged a box and swam out of the cabin to the water.

Back on the salvage ship, Lu Yuan opened the box in front of everyone.

The glittering golden light dazzled everyone's eyes, and it was a box full of gold coins. Just one chest of gold is enough to make a man rich.

"Wealth moves people's hearts", in the face of so much gold, some people's minds have really changed.

Ten minutes later.

"Sea, guys put your hands up, now the ship is taken over by us!"

The first to attack was the four Mi crew members.

"Oba, what are you going to do?" Anthony asked angrily.

"Anthony, this is our ship, why listen to a yellow-skinned monkey, as long as you kill him, these treasures will be all ours. ”

"yes, Anthony, come here, we're all old brothers, and we can't afford to work for a yellow-skinned monkey!"

Anthony hesitated for a while and said, "Oba and William, you better let it go, do you know what you are doing, you are committing a crime!"

"Do you want to be wanted by the whole world?"

The sailor, named William, said, "Wanted, oh, no, no, no, we just need to kill this yellow-skinned monkey and throw these into the sea, and who will know what is going on here." ”

"We are from the United States, and we can't settle anything with money!"

Lu Yuan laughed.

Oba immediately pointed his gun at Lu Yuan, "Yellow-skinned monkey, what are you laughing at!"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Do you know why villains always fail?"

"What?" Oba and the others were stunned

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan used his spiritual power with all his might, and then everyone saw a black shadow flashing by.

When everyone came back to their senses, Oba and the others had all rushed to the ground, and the guns in their hands had already reached Lu Yuan's hands.

Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at everyone.

Said lightly: "Because their words are always too much!"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief, no one could see Lu Yuan's movements clearly just now.

"God, you... You... Who the hell are you?" Anthony became incoherent.

The other people who did not participate in the riot were also frightened by Lu Yuan's actions just now.

"That's not something humans can do!" was the only thought in everyone's minds.

After half a ring, Obama and the others also came back to their senses, and they looked at Lu Yuan in horror.

"Devil, you are the devil......"

"Okay, look at what, tie up the four of them, and get back to work!"

......

After such a small episode, everyone no longer has any other thoughts.

In the next salvage work, Lu Yuan intentionally or unintentionally revealed some actions beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This makes the crew dare not have any undesirable thoughts.

It took three days for Lu Yuan and the crew to finally salvage all the treasures on the ship.

Originally, Lu Yuan planned to leave like this, but at this time, Anthony suddenly proposed

"Boss, let's salvage this ship too!"

"Why is that?" Lu Yuan asked

"Boss, this wreck is very well preserved, if we salvage it, it will form a whole with these treasures. ”

"If we auction it as a whole, we can sell it for a higher price!"

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Lu Yuan smiled.

However, their current salvage ship is still a little short of salvaging the wreck out of the water.

Under Lu Yuan's arrangement, Anthony rented a larger salvage ship from Bagu.

After another month of struggle, they finally salvaged the wreck out of the water.

A week later, Lu Yuan and the others counted the harvest.

This time, they can be said to have a full harvest, salvaged more than 200,000 gold and silver coins, more than 500 catties of precious stones, thousands of silver tableware and decorations, and 8 cannons.

"Boss, it has been estimated, our income this time is at least 400 million yuan!"

Anthony, exclaimed excitedly. The surrounding crew members also showed excited expressions.

Because Lu Yuan promised everyone that 15% of the salvage proceeds would belong to them, so that even the least person could get 2 million meters.

How can this not excite them.

After the harvest has been counted and valued, the last and most important task remains, which is how to sell them.

After discussing with Anthony and others, Lu Yuan decided to entrust these treasures to an auction company for auction.

Although in doing so, Lu Yuan and others are likely to be prosecuted by the Western government. However, after analysis, Lu Yuan was not too worried.

Because according to the "International Salvage Law", Lu Yuan and others salvaged a merchant ship, and the transportation of a merchant ship is a commercial act, not a state act, in this case, the proceeds from salvaging the sunken ship belong to the salvage party.

Half a month later.

Lu Yuan's news that they salvaged a Western treasure ship in the Caribbean shocked the world.

Piles of gold and silver coins, precious stones, and high-definition pictures of well-preserved galleons appear in newspapers, television, and the Internet in the world's major media.

To the shock of everyone who saw this news.

Soon, experts from all over the world discussed and valued the shipwreck treasures in newspapers, on television, and on the Internet.

And the owner of this batch of treasures, Lu Yuan and his exploration company have also become the focus of the world for a while.
