Ye Yuan came to the seagrass. The depth here was more than a hundred meters, and the light was very bad. However, Ye Yuan's perception was not affected by the light.
Ye Yuandao took a look into the seaweed with his senses. Just this look made his heart suddenly excited.
Because he suddenly saw an oak box among the water plants on the seabed.
The oak box is in the shape of a cube, with the length, width and height being about 30cm.
The style of the wooden box is very simple.
Ye Yuan's first reaction was that there should be a sunken ship nearby. Otherwise, where would this wooden box come from?
My senses spread out, and I carefully sensed this sea area. After a long time, I didn't sense any items related to the sunken ship.
Ever since Ye Yuan could breathe freely in the water, he had imagined that he could find sunken ships in the endless ocean. These were all treasures in the ocean.
Among the shipwrecks on the seabed, there are countless ships of various types that were buried at the bottom of the sea due to wars.
From the wooden canoes of the cold weapon age to the sail warships of the gunpowder age;
From ironclad ships powered by steam engines to modern warships of the nuclear age.
There are all kinds of warships swallowed by the ocean. The magical underwater world is like a museum of naval weapons buried deep in the ocean.
Taking World War II as an example, there were 1,424 sunken ships of various types in the Pacific, including 1,113 merchant ships of various types over 500 tons, with a total registered tonnage of more than 5.32 million tons; 311 warships of various types .
The situation in the Atlantic battlefield is even more serious, with as many as 1,698 ships from European countries.
China is a large coastal country with a long history and vast sea territory.
As early as the Neolithic Age, five or six thousand years ago, China began maritime transportation.
However, in the thousands of years of maritime history, China's waters were also bloody and war-torn.
According to relevant information, there are more than 2,000 shipwrecks of various types in the China Sea. It has become a treasure land with rich ancient shipwreck relics and historical cultural relics that has attracted world attention.
Ye Yuan once read a report about the number of sunken ships. So far, the number of sunken ships in the world's oceans. According to the latest data from the International Maritime Archeology Organization, in the depths of the world's oceans, in just the past 400 years, more than 100,000 sunken ships have sunk around the world. There are as many as 250,000 ships in the ocean.
Some contain a large amount of wealth, including gold bricks, silver ingots, precious jewelry and jades, etc., and their value is inestimable.
Ye Yuan has long wanted to look for these sunken ships, but he has never found any sunken ships after going to sea so many times.
Although the number of sunken ships is staggering, the ocean area is not small.
Excluding the territorial waters of some countries is far from being able to salvage. The waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans alone are huge.
There is a saying in Blue Star that "three parts are land and seven parts are ocean". You can imagine how big the ocean area is.
Ye Yuan didn't find any items related to the sunken ship, so he had to get the wooden box in front of him back to the fishing boat first.
Peeling away the seaweed that has been adsorbed on the wooden box, it can be seen from the adsorption of seaweed that this wooden box has been here for a while.
After cleaning up the seaweed on the wooden box, Ye Yuan could see the entire wooden box clearly.
The style of the wooden box is very simple, made of oak, and the outside is sealed with wax oil. The wooden box is locked with a copper lock and is quite well preserved.
Ye Yuan returned to the sea with the wooden box in hand. At this time, many crew members on the ship were looking around the ship.
After all, Ye Yuan had been in the water for a while. These crew members had heard some things about Ye Yuan before they came. They knew that their boss had defeated a frogman in diving, but they heard that it was only once No one can believe it unless they see it with their own eyes.
Everyone was waiting anxiously on the boat when they saw Ye Yuan finally showing his head on the sea surface and holding a wooden box.
Old Yu hurriedly asked a crew member to lower the spiral ladder.
Ye Yuan returned to the ship along the spiral staircase with the wooden box in hand.
Everyone gathered around curiously.
"Is there a shipwreck here?"
the crew asked excitedly
"I don't know. I only found this and no other items."
Ye Yuan replied after taking a sip of the mineral water handed over by the crew.
Yu Hongbo ordered several crew members who were good at water to put on diving equipment and go explore under the sea.
Ye Yuan did not stop him. He believed that it would be useless for these people to go down to find something that he had not found. However, he could not say this. It would be better to let them go down and take a look. Maybe they could really find it?
Ye Yuan ignored the crew members who entered the water and directly took an axe. With a "bang" sound, the copper lock broke.
Opening the wooden box, because the wooden box was wrapped in wax oil, no sea water entered inside. There was a small cloth bag quietly placed in the wooden box.
Ye Yuan opened the bag, and a dozen coins rolled out.
The crew members who were still on the ship gathered around. These coins were all the same.
The coin was very heavy and had the face of a foreign man printed on it. Judging from the appearance of the face, it must have looked like it was from a very long time ago.
Ye Yuan did not recognize these coins, and many crew members around him did not recognize the coins they were from.
Ye Yuan took out his mobile phone and opened Du Niang to search. It has to be said that there are too many advertisements on Du Niang now. It took some time to search. These coins should be coins of the Antoninus dynasty in ancient Rome.
Because the silver coins with Hadrian's image printed on Du Niang were found, which were the same as the coins in Ye Yuan's hand.
Hadrian's full name was Publius Aelius Hadrian.
Also known as Emperor Yong, he was the third emperor of the Antoninus dynasty and one of the Five Wise Emperors. He reigned from 117 to 138.
During his reign, he stopped the war in the East, concluded a peace treaty with the Parthian king, and reformed the bureaucracy and law.
He also built the "Hadrian's Wall" across the north of the British Isles from east to west to prevent the invasion of the "barbarians" who lived there.
The world has always thought highly of him, and he has many personal hobbies. He was a learned and talented emperor.
Hadrian lived in a turbulent and thrilling era.
In the 2nd century AD, he became the master of the Roman Empire and could be called the most successful Roman ruler. A battle-hardened soldier and talented administrator, he ruled the Roman Empire at its height.
During Hadrian's time, the boundaries of the ancient Roman Empire had reached the limit of expansion.
The price of the silver coins in Ye Yuan's hand is basically around 50,000 according to the Internet, which is not very high.
Ye Yuan didn't worry too much about the price of these things, because the number of gold coins was not very large, so he had no intention of selling these gold coins.
Without much effort, several crew members who went to sea had already come up and found no clues. Ye Yuan was not too disappointed. This was what he had thought of before.
The main purpose of going to sea this time was to stop the whaling ship, and the mission has been completed.
I got these silver coins unexpectedly, which is already a good ending.
Ye Yuan did not stay in this sea area. He believed that since his perception did not detect the sunken ship, the probability of a sunken ship in this sea area would not be very high.
As for why this wooden box is here, there are many reasons, and Ye Yuan will not worry about them.
