. . . . . .

A few days were spent fishing with Ye Yuan and others.

These days, Ye Yuan's life is very relaxed. As the crew gradually adapts to the fishing skills at sea, they can now decide the time to set the net by themselves, and he, the captain, has become the one with nothing to do on the boat.

Today, Ye Yuan was practicing the "Water Control Technique" in the rest room as usual. After the practice, he was ready to take a rest. For some reason, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Simply, Ye Yuan got up and went directly to the deck. The ocean in the middle of the night was quite scary. It was pitch black in the distance, and only the sound of waves lapping against the ship could be heard from time to time.

Fishing boats usually have a crew member on duty at night, and it happened to be Ma Hua who was on duty tonight.

When he saw Ye Yuan standing on the deck, he also walked out of the watch room.

"Boss, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

"If you can't sleep, come out for a walk. If you're sleepy, go to bed and I'll take over for you."

Ye Yuan said to Ma Hua.

"No need, my shift will change in another hour, and it won't be me by then."

Ma Hua laughed twice as he spoke.

Ye Yuan took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to Ma Hua. He also took one out of the box and held it in his mouth.

Ma Hua stretched out his hand to light it for Ye Yuan, and then lighted it for himself.

He took a deep breath and blew out a smoke ring into the air. Since he was at sea, the smoke ring was quickly blown away by the sea breeze.

"It's better to be on the ship. On the warship before, I wanted to take a cigarette while on duty, but I couldn't."

As Ma Hua talked, he remembered what happened when he was a soldier.

The two of them chatted together, and an hour passed quickly. Pei Fei came out to replace Ma Hua. Ma Hua and Ye Yuan said hello and went back to the cabin to rest.

Pei Fei was not as talkative as Ma Hua. When he saw Ye Yuan, he just gave a simple greeting and stayed in the duty room without saying a word.

Ye Yuan knew that Pei Fei was such a person, but he had no choice. He was so bored that he still couldn't sleep, so he had to stand on the deck and use his senses to observe the scenery on the seabed.

Now using perception to see the scenery under the sea has become a good choice for Ye Yuan to pass the time when he is bored.

When Ye Yuan's perception spread towards the sea, he was suddenly attracted by an object like a centipede, and Ye Yuan's perception quickly approached it.

This is already an area about 500 meters under the sea. When Ye Yuan arrived, he realized that this was not a centipede. It was obviously an ancient warship.

Ye Yuan didn't know much about ancient warships, but he could still tell that the ship in front of him was a very ancient galley.

The hull is entirely made of wood. There are a row of holes on the side of the ship, and very long oars protrude from the holes.

This is also the reason why Ye Yuan can know that this is a galley.

Ye Yuan recalled Shao Depoi's knowledge about ancient warships in his mind.

Ancient warships generally had single-deck oars and double-deck oars. In the 6th century, single-deck oars were the dominant type, and after the 8th century, double-deck oars were the dominant type.

Generally, there are 60 crew members and 120 oarsmen on a ship. The bow of the ship is equipped with a ramming horn. There are two types of ramming horns, one is located underwater to sink the enemy ship, and the other is located above the water to crush the enemy ship's oars. Paralyze it to facilitate boarding and melee combat.

Ships are generally equipped with ballistae or fire projectors.

Looking at the warship in front of me and comparing it with the information in my memory, I saw that this was an ancient warship with a single oar. It seemed that it was really an "old guy".

Ye Yuan is still not that excited about a warship. According to Ye Yuan's experience, the chance of good things appearing on a warship is slim.

After all, the main purpose of warships is to fight at sea. Who would bring a lot of gold, silver and jewelry with them during battle?

But it is absolutely impossible to give up like that.

If you find such a warship and don't look for it, you will be sorry for yourself.

He was not eager to use his senses to see what was inside the ship. After all, he couldn't sleep, so he might as well go explore it himself.

This also gives me something to do during this sleepless night.

Ye Yuan glanced at Pei Fei in the distance. This guy was still in the duty room, holding a book about machinery in his hand and looking at it. Maybe he noticed something and raised his head to look at Ye Yuan.

Realizing that Ye Yuan was looking at him, he nodded to Ye Yuan and continued to look down at the book in his hand.

Ye Yuan got up and came to the cab. The person on duty in the cab tonight happened to be Ding Yi.

Ye Yuan asked Ding Yi to circle around the sea area, and then left the cab.

Arriving at the blind spot at the stern of the ship, avoiding the sight of the duty room, one person secretly entered the sea.

When Ye Yuan entered the sea, he felt much more comfortable all over his body. With the practice of water control techniques, Ye Yuan felt more and more comfortable in the water. Sometimes he worried, would he not want to return to land after practicing?

Following the direction of perception, Ye Yuan came to the location of the sunken ship.

Ye Yuan found that the sunken ship in front of him was relatively well preserved. There was not much damage to the hull, except for two huge holes near the bottom of the ship.

Ye Yuan swam to the deck of the sunken ship and found hundreds of remains on it.

Perhaps it is because no large creatures came here. The remains are well preserved, and even the cables on the ship have not completely rotted away.

Looking at the thrower on the deck, I was further convinced that this was a warship.

Ye Yuan searched back and forth on the warship for a long time, and finally found a large, completely closed box in a place that looked like the captain's room.

Ye Yuan sensed that the box could not be penetrated, indicating that there was still packaging inside.

Through many experiences, Ye Yuan knew that his perception was not omnipotent, such as iron plates and stones. These perceptions were impenetrable, and even the paraffin leaves used by ancient people for waterproofing could not be penetrated.

But there is no problem with Ye Yuan's perception of some wood.

Ye Yuan directly loaded the box into the space, and then took some more complete-looking tableware, ornaments and other decorations on the ship.

Ye Yuan did not take those things that could no longer be distinguished, so let those things stay buried in this sea with these remains.

Last night, these Ye Yuan stopped staying and quickly returned to the water. Since there were lights on the fishing boat, they were very eye-catching in the dark water. When Ye Yuan swam out of the water, he quickly discovered the location of the "Yushui" position and quickly swam towards his fishing boat.

When he came to the fishing boat, Ye Yuan used his senses to look at Pei Fei's position and found that he was still reading in the duty room. He sneaked back to the boat and carefully returned to his rest cabin.

Back in the rest cabin, Ye Yuan took a hot shower first. After all, being wet all over was not very comfortable.

Take out the wooden box. The box is made of wood and each corner is wrapped with silver.

From this point of view alone, you know that the things in the box are extraordinary. After all, a box that can be wrapped with silver is considered a very good object.
