Throughout the ages, gold has been one of the strongest hard currencies, whether in the ancient Eastern countries or the European continent.
There is even a saying about antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times.
More than ten kilograms of gold are worth at least several million yuan in this world.
But the gold in this kind of ancient shipwreck remains, no matter what form it is in, whether it is a gold handicraft or cast into gold coins, it has a value that far exceeds the gold itself.
The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties expected to invest 20 million euros in the initial stage, and maybe the cost could be recouped in one go by salvaging this underwater shipwreck ruins.
And there is still plenty...
It was already afternoon when they returned to the old port of Marseille. The two had a night's rest. Early the next morning, Li Qingying prepared all matters for the salvage company according to Tang Songyuan's arrangements.
The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties continued to control twenty sea fish to search the vast seabed of the Mediterranean Sea.
The afternoon sunlight has become weak when it penetrates the seabed hundreds of meters deep. A large area of the seafloor presents a dark, cold and lifeless scene.
Occasionally, I saw the remains of one or two sunken ships scattered on the seabed, eroded by time and sea water.
The wooden hull has rotted away and the metal parts have rusted due to long-term immersion.
The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties all read these carefully, hoping to find some valuable treasures.
But truly valuable treasures are so easy to find.
In more than a dozen countries around the Mediterranean Sea, they have already rummaged through some shipwrecks that are easy to find and excavate.
Some even don’t spare the hull of the ship. They pack them all up and take them back to fill in the museum for admission.
Fortunately, Tang Songyuan was very patient. At the same time, although Haiyu was controlled by him, he acted according to his instructions.
But he didn't need to direct every move like a puppet on strings, which greatly reduced the burden of Tang, Song and Yuan.
Through the perspective of these sea fish, Tang, Song and Yuan saw wonderful scenes on the seabed.
Various strange luminous creatures have adapted to such a dark environment, and they shine with a faint light, like stars dotted on the seabed.
These luminous creatures include luminous fish, luminous insects, luminous jellyfish, etc. They produce light through their own chemical reactions or bioluminescent organs, creating a mysterious and beautiful scene.
In addition to luminous creatures, there are many other strange creatures hidden under the sea.
Huge scaleless fish swimming in the dark, crustaceans with tentacles and eyes, and soft sponges and corals form part of the underwater ecosystem.
These organisms have adapted to dark, high-pressure, and low-temperature environments through various adaptive characteristics, such as ultra-sensitive sensory organs and special physiological structures.
Suddenly, Tang Songyuan saw a huge octopus.
This octopus is very brightly colored and swims leisurely on the bottom of the sea.
Its body is like a huge balloon, full of power and majesty.
Several thick tentacles are long and powerful, covered with dense suckers.
Tang Songyuan had never seen such a big octopus, not even on TV or online short videos.
Its body is almost as big as an elephant, and its tentacles are as thick as an adult's thigh.
With such a big tentacle, if Ni Sisi used it to make teppanyaki, she should be able to eat several meals...
Um, I got it wrong.
For such a big octopus, if Tang Songyuan gave him another animal enhancement, would it produce a stronger qualitative change?
It's a pity that he has now returned to the old port of Marseille, and is hundreds of kilometers away from the octopus, beyond the scope of perspective, otherwise Tang Songyuan really wanted to control it.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Tang Songyuan suddenly patted his thigh.
A question suddenly occurred to him just now.
Inspired by this octopus, especially the octopus's tentacles with suction cups, it can be used as his assistant in salvaging the sunken ship.
The maximum diving depth for ordinary divers is only forty or fifty meters, and a small number of divers can reach a depth of one to two hundred meters.
Going any further is beyond the limits of the human body.
But the creatures on the seabed are different. They live on the seabed themselves.
For example, this big octopus, Tang Songyuan could use his ability to manipulate animals to control this octopus and then strengthen it.
According to past experience, the size and ability of the octopus will skyrocket.
Then he can completely control the octopus, let the octopus's tentacles penetrate into the cabin of the sunken ship, and then use its dense and terrifying suction cups to easily take out the items in the sunken ship.
In this way, he wouldn't need a salvage company at all.
With just one person and one octopus, you can get your hands on the treasures in the sunken ruins of all sizes.
But soon Tang, Song and Yuan vetoed such an idea.
But it is not a complete rejection, but it is necessary to put another layer of shell on top of this plan.
It is still necessary to set up a salvage company and build a salvage team.
The Mediterranean Sea is not an open sea. It is surrounded by more than a dozen countries and islands, large and small.
When conducting large-scale shipwreck salvage on other people's territory, you still have to abide by some rules.
Moreover, the antiques and cultural relics in some sunken ships are not only precious metals such as gold.
Some pottery, porcelain and the like also have a certain value.
And there are a lot of them. If some sunken ships are well preserved, such sunken ships themselves will also have high value.
But these tasks could not be completed by Tang, Song and Yuan alone.
In the afternoon, Li Qingying returned to the old port of Marseille and found Tang Songyuan in the cabin of the small yacht.
"Hey~! Boss Tang is really lying down..."
Li Qingying's tone was a bit complaining: "I've been running hard all day, I'm afraid you haven't moved away yet."
"No way!" Tang Songyuan denied: "I got up to eat some solid food and went to the toilet twice."
Then he turned to ask: "How is it? Are things going well?"
Li Qingying didn't really want to argue with him. She took out a few documents from her handbag and said:
"It went quite smoothly. There is a one-stop service for overseas investment here. As long as you are willing to pay and have all the qualifications, everything is easy."
"Tomorrow we have to rent offices and warehouses, recruit employees, and order ships and machinery. Does Boss Tang want to go with us?"
"I don't understand French, so I can't do much if I go."
Tang Songyuan thought for a moment and then said: "At most, I can drive for you, that's fine."
He knew Li Qingying's perceptual ability. Sometimes he only needed a little guidance to know whether this person was good or bad, and he could clearly perceive whether the person had great or small abilities.
So he can safely leave these things to her.
But Li Qingying obviously didn't intend to let him have too much leisure, and she said with a smile of success:
"Of course, as long as you go along!"
