For the next ten days, the entire fleet was immersed in the work of salvaging treasures hidden under the sea.
Fortunately, the weather has been kind, and there have been no big waves in this area. Even if it rains occasionally, it will stop in an hour or two.
Of course, the hardest part is for the divers, who have to go up and down in the sea dozens of times every day, and the actual working time on the seabed is only about half an hour each time.
The claustrophobic environment of the deep sea and the conditions of low temperature and high pressure are not something that ordinary people can endure.
Fortunately, this group of divers headed by Leng Zhiwen have undergone rigorous training and have certain work experience.
Under the premise of Tang, Song and Yuan's promise of high salary, the motivation is still high.
And as time goes by, the cooperation between the diving team members and the fleet has become more and more tacit, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.
On the largest day, the divers went into the water 14 times and picked up more than 13,000 pieces of porcelain.
Cups, plates, bowls, saucers, bottles and jars are all available.
Most of them are blue and white from folk kilns. Only a few pieces are from folk kilns in the Ming Dynasty. They have folk stories painted on them, which are quite exquisite.
That day Li Qingying suddenly said: "I haven't seen Xiaolan for several days. Can you help me see if it is still in this sea area..."
Tang Songyuan didn't pay much attention to Xiaolan, the big whale, recently.
Recently, the salvage team was conducting salvage operations in this area. Xiaolan was still swimming nearby at first, but then he appeared less and less.
He said: "It is just a wild whale. Do you really regard it as your own pet?"
"That's not what I mean..." Li Qingying curled her lips and said, "But we have been together for so many days, and your treasure was only found through Xiaolan."
"It's nothing if you just care..."
"I just want to confirm its whereabouts, and it's best to say goodbye to it properly."
Tang Songyuan said helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on it."
In the past ten days, he has been manipulating twenty sea fish to closely search the seabed in this area of the high seas.
Try to search again to see if there are any treasures similar to the current underwater shipwreck ruins.
It just so happened that it was almost time for these sea fish to return within the one kilometer range of his perspective.
Otherwise, if it exceeds ten days, these sea fish will automatically disconnect, become unable to be controlled and die immediately.
Not to mention that these sea fish actually found two underwater shipwrecks. One is located in the deep sea about 200 nautical miles east of the Bashi Channel.
It was a medium-sized wooden cargo ship, about fifty meters long and seventeen or eighteen meters wide.
Perhaps the anti-corrosion measures for the ship's plates were very good when the ship was built, so although the hull showed some signs of corrosion, the overall structure remained basically intact.
However, the cargo hold should be filled with silk, which has lost much value after hundreds of years of seawater erosion.
Moreover, the ship sank in the deep sea, at least six to seven hundred meters deep, making salvage very difficult.
The other shipwreck is located 200 nautical miles west of the Northern Mariana Islands and 300 nautical miles north of Palau.
It was a wooden warship made in the Netherlands. The hull was covered with large and small holes. It must have experienced an extremely fierce battle.
In addition to some rusty and corroded iron weapons and artillery shells, the materials retained on the ship also contained a special large box, which attracted the attention of Tang, Song and Yuan.
The oak box was tightly wrapped in iron sheets and fixed with rivets.
However, after years of hard work, the iron sheet and rivets have long been corroded, and the wooden box is also crumbling.
However, Tang Songyuan could easily see through perspective that the wooden box was filled with a large box of gold coins.
Each gold coin is about the size of a toe, weighs about five grams, and contains about 92% gold.
This is a gold shield and horse gold coin issued by the Netherlands in the 17th century. The number of this box is no less than 100,000.
The Netherlands began to colonize the East Indies, which is now the Indonesian Islands, in the early seventeenth century. For more than 200 years, they plundered an unknown amount of local spices and wealth.
This box of gold coins should be the wealth that the Dutch plundered the East Indies, or it may be the private harvest of the ship commander.
Regardless of the type, these gold coins bear witness to the history of the Dutch in the East Indies, although this history was full of plunder and bloody oppression.
And it is obvious that there is no shortage of struggles in the colonist world, and this warship that sank at the bottom of the sea is one of the failures.
It's a pity that this is a warship...
Having learned the lesson from the Spanish cargo ship last time, this Dutch warship did not plan to be publicly salvaged in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
There is no plan to arrange a fleet to go there.
When the treasure ship is salvaged, he will let the salvage team headed by Broken Leaf go back first.
He would take Li Qingying alone, drive the Pipi Shrimp there, and then find a way to fish it out.
The worst he could do was control another Squidward.
Simple and easy, yet unknown.
In the afternoon, all twenty sea fish controlled by Tang, Song and Yuan returned.
Going out again will give you ten more days of battery life.
Tang, Song and Yuan commanded the fish swarm to start searching towards the north, while concentrating on searching for possible remains of sunken ships on the seabed.
While helping Li Qingying find traces of Xiaolan.
After all, in Tang Songyuan's impression, the last time he saw Xiaolan was in the northern area of the fleet.
At that time, water vapor was sprayed into the sky for a long time.
At this moment, Tang Songyuan saw a ship appearing on the sea in the distance.
He found a telescope from the Pipi Shrimp and found that there was a neon flag hanging on it.
It's a neon ship!
Tang Songyuan's heart tightened, and then he saw a strange device on the bow of the ship.
The device is somewhat like a cannon, but slightly shorter.
Moreover, the tip of the 'muzzle' is the warhead, like a spearhead, with four barbed steel claws attached to the back.
That's a whale cannon!
This ship is a Neon Whaler!
Soon, Tang Songyuan finally saw Xiaolan's figure through the controlled fish school.
It was fleeing rapidly towards the direction of the Pipi Shrimp together with a team of three whales.
These damn neon people!
Tang Songyuan immediately shouted to Li Qingying: "Pull out anchor and set sail!"
"immediately!"
