One night, Zhu Yu made eight trips back and forth, and finally got on the yacht before the white fish belly appeared in the east. Then Qin Fei drove the yacht quietly to leave the sea area and sailed dozens of nautical miles before stopping.
This place is close to the main channel, and ships can be seen coming and going in the distance.
"Don't disturb me, I want to take a rest." Zhu Yu entered the master bedroom, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
To say that I am tired, I am not very tired. The main reason is that in a dark environment underwater, alone, it is easy to become mentally exhausted.
Two hours later, Zhu Yu woke up after much rest. He took out the silver cross from the space and began to absorb the energy inside.
After several times of absorption, the energy in the silver cross was less than half.
This time, Zhu Yu completely absorbed the energy inside his hand before stopping.
Feeling full of energy, Zhu Yu came out of the master bedroom, looked at Ran Jie, Cao Dalong and the others discussing something in a low voice, walked over and asked:
"Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, it's all hot." Cao Dalong brought the food over.
"Our coast guard ship came over and asked us if there was anything going on, and we said we were fine." Ran Jie reported, "A fishing boat that Dalong knew also came over. It is said that it came from the south, and we bought some seafood. .”
Zhu Yu ate his meal, nodded and said nothing.
In the evening the yacht returned to the same spot as the previous day.
Zhu Yu dived down, quickly found the "boundary" marked last night, and started searching again.
He found that the underwater vision of the Sky Eye gradually became wider as he used it.
Although the improvement is relatively small, it can still be felt.
Then, something dark under the water attracted his attention.
Shipwreck!
This is an ancient sunken ship, made of wood, the mast has disappeared, and there is only a bare hull. It is wrapped in the sediment of the seabed and materials excreted by aquatic life. Like a reef, half of it is exposed.
The sky eye scanned the ship and found that there were no big holes around the ship. Zhu Yu probably encountered wind and waves, was overturned and sank to the bottom of the water.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that the cargo ships from hundreds of years ago were filled with specialties from the original Japanese country.
There were boxes of knives and fans. Of course, the knives were covered with rust and the fans had turned into garbage ash.
But the dozens of boxes of items left were the most valuable items in the entire ship.
Silver ingot.
Zhu Yu remembered that when the Japanese country Shijian Yinshan produced a very large amount of silver, the Japanese country used a large amount of silver in exchange for raw silk and other Chinese specialties.
This ship was probably used for such trade.
A rough estimate is that one box of silver is about 200 kilograms. There are ten boxes here, about two tons.
The value is quite a lot.
At that time, forty thousand taels of silver was a huge amount.
I think the ship owner or cargo owner who lost this fortune will probably be seriously injured, right?
Finally it was not in vain.
Zhu Yu stepped forward, took out tools from the space, slowly cracked open the thick shell of the sunken ship, and began to load the boxes of silver into the space.
After loading the nine boxes, Zhu Yu took out the rope, tied up the remaining box, and tried to lift it up.
It can't be lifted - or rather, it can't be floated up.
After all, two hundred kilograms can be lifted, but water cannot carry such a heavy thing.
Zhu Yu had no choice but to take out the net bag from the space, opened the box, filled it with dozens of kilograms of silver ingots, put the rest into the space, and then slowly floated up.
Zhu Yu's dive took a little long this time. When he surfaced, he saw Ran Jie and three people on the deck of the yacht dozens of meters away, looking around.
Cao Dalong was already planning to put on diving equipment and go into the water to find him.
However, Ran Jie pulled him and advised him not to do this.
Zhu Yu swam over.
"Boss, it's great that you're okay!" Zhu Yu, who Qin Fei saw first, said in a low voice.
Cao Dalong and Ran Jie stopped, and when they saw Zhu Yu approaching, they immediately knelt down, both thinking of pulling Zhu Yu up first.
Zhu Yu handed the net bag to Cao Dalong, then grabbed Ran Jie's hand and climbed onto the deck. He took off his diving equipment and said:
"I found something underwater, so it took a little longer."
"This black...silver nugget?" Cao Dalong took out a silver ingot from his net pocket and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, they were found in a sunken ship." Zhu Yu took off his diving equipment and said, "There are still some left. I will fish them out next time."
"Not bad! These ancient silver ingots are quite valuable, right? Are there any words on them?"
At this time, Ran Jie finally asked a question in his mind:
"Boss, are you looking for a sunken ship in this sea area?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu dried his body and said as he walked inside: "There is an image in Dalong's video. It seems to be a rock reef, but I guess it is a sunken ship. So I plan to come and take a look..."
"Is that what you found?"
"No." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "If that was my guess, it would be much more valuable than this."
He went in, drank some water, ate something, and continued in the water.
However, this time, we did not go to the sunken ship, but continued to search. When the time was almost up, we loaded another net with silver ingots.
Repeatedly, after loading two boxes of silver ingots, we stopped going into the water, and it was almost dawn.
Although what they found at night was not the target, Ran Jie and the three of them were still very excited about the harvest.
Zhu Yu was also very happy, finally it was not in vain.
However, he still hopes to find the real target as soon as possible.
Using their free time during the day, they went there again and circled around, and found that the salvage ship had changed its position.
Zhu Yu had a sense of urgency. He was afraid that if the salvage ship found the target first, it would be in trouble.
Not willing to give in.
At night, the yacht came to position again.
"Be careful," Zhu Yu couldn't help but warn before entering the water. "If a coast guard comes, leave immediately and leave me alone."
Ran Jie and the other three were silent, but Zhu Yu emphasized:
"I'm serious, don't take it seriously! It's easy for me to hide alone. You have a big boat, so don't be tough!"
When he said this, Ran Jie nodded.
Diving down again, Zhu Yu dived all the way to the bottom of the sea, then found the calibration point and continued to investigate the unfamiliar sea bottom.
Among them, he discovered several sunken ships, or the remains of sunken ships.
But there was nothing valuable, so Zhu Yu didn't look at these things and continued to search.
Occasionally, when a big fish comes by, Zhu Yu takes out his speargun. As long as they dare to swim over, Zhu Yu doesn't mind giving them a shot.
Fortunately, these marine creatures were more alert at night. They probably found that Zhu Yu was relatively large and had a relatively high threat index, so they did not get close.
Compared with those large marine creatures, some smaller creatures were not afraid of Zhu Yu. There was even a small turtle that swam to Zhu Yu for protection in order to avoid being attacked by a big fish.
Zhu Yu really protected it, and after the big fish left, he helped it pry off the parasitic barnacles on its body, and then let it go.
Then Zhu Yu saw an anchor rope appearing not far ahead.
He remembered that this should be the anchor cable of the salvage ship.
I didn't expect that I would search here.
Now that he was here, Zhu Yu had no intention of backing down. He dived down to see what the salvage ship had found.
The sand on the seabed has been dug up, and traces of excavation are everywhere. Some rotten ship planks are scattered around.
There should be a sunken ship here, and the people on the salvage boat are excavating it.
Zhu Yutian glanced around and quickly found the largest and most valuable excavation pit.
The pit contains the main body of the sunken ship, but it has been completely buried by sea sand.
Although the sunken ship has decayed, quite a few things inside are still relatively intact.
This is a cargo ship, which should have been transported from the Chinese coast to the Japanese country at that time.
The cargo hold of the sunken ship was filled with porcelain, raw silk, ironware, boxes of copper coins, and several boxes of beautifully cast small gold ingots.
Now some of the boxes containing porcelain and copper coins have been salvaged, the box containing raw silk is basically empty, and the separate box containing gold ingots is still under the sand pile.
Zhu Yu thought to himself that he was lucky to have come over, otherwise, the salvage ship would have taken advantage of his opportunity to make a lot of money.
Zhu Yu came to the pit and took a closer look. Although the porcelain was complete, it was basically domestic porcelain from private kilns. There was nothing valuable about it, so he ignored it.
He took out his tools and slowly cleaned away the sand, revealing the cabin containing the gold ingots. Zhu Yu went down, and the rotten shipboard shattered with a touch.
Zhu Yu put away the boxes containing the gold ingots one by one.
He guessed that these gold ingots should have been brought back by the ship owner at that time for the nobles such as daimyo to enjoy.
And those copper coins are naturally for daily use. Ancient China had advanced casting technology, and these exquisite copper coins had always been the currency in circulation in the Greater China Circle at that time.
hard currency.
Those copper coins have been corroded by the sea water and are almost completely rotten. It looked like green rust on the surface, but turned into powder when squeezed by hand. Zhu Yu lost interest.
After filling the sand back, Zhu Yu looked carefully again and found that there were no traces left, so he swam away.
Apart from the five boxes of two hundred small gold ingots, there was nothing else to gain that night.
Each gold ingot weighs about two hundred grams, which is considered a considerable amount of income.
After all, the value of ancient gold ingots cannot be calculated based on the current gold price.
When Zhu Yu was about to surface, he took out three gold ingots.
Ran Jie and the others waited on the deck until Zhu Yu appeared, and then immediately pulled him onto the deck.
"One for each of you." Zhu Yu handed over the gold ingot, "Keep it for fun."
"This gold ingot is so exquisite!" Cao Dalong took the ingot and weighed it. It felt heavy. "Did you catch it underwater?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Let's drive away, we'll be here tonight."
Qin Fei responded, immediately went to the bridge, started the yacht, and left the sea area.
After Zhu Yu slept for two hours and replenished his energy, he came out and found that he was still at sea, so he said:
"Don't stay here anymore. Let's go back to the port, switch to a motor boat, and take another two days to see."
Zhu Yu spoke, and the others didn't have any different opinions. This time, it was Cao Dalong who strongly requested to drive the yacht back to the port.
Zhu Yu and the others did not return to the city this time. Instead, they directly changed to a motor boat filled with fuel and drove back to the sea with a roar.
This time, the motor boat drove closer to the salvage ship, but it also left after a circle.
Zhu Yu was watching from the deck, while Ran Jie and Qin Fei were learning to sail the ship with Cao Dalong - currently only Cao Dalong could control the ship.
Fortunately, there is no need to throw nets for fishing at the same time. Of course, just the few people on the boat cannot do such a thing.
The roar of motor boats is much louder than that of yachts.
So what Qin Fei is more worried about is that when driving there at night, he has to be far away from the salvage ship, otherwise it will be troublesome if he is discovered.
】
Zhu Yu didn't care, he still said the same thing:
"Don't worry. Once a ship approaches, they will sail directly back to our waters. I still don't believe they dare to cross the border and rush over there?"
This is actually a way.
By night, Zhu Yu and the four of them had learned how to operate the motor boat.
This is much more convenient than driving - at least there is a lot of space in the ocean. As long as you don't go wild on the waterway, you can navigate such a large sea area at will.
After nightfall, this time it was Ran Jie who steered the motor boat to the location of the previous yacht.
When we arrived at the place, it was almost two hours later than before.
But Zhu Yu didn't care. He had already changed into his diving equipment and jumped into the water.
Motor boats can hold more fuel than yachts, so they will last longer.
Zhu Yu and the others planned to persist for at least three days this time.
After diving into the water, Zhu Yu first dived under the salvage boat and found that the sea sand here had been dredged up a lot. The porcelain box had been completely fished out, but only a few of the boxes containing copper coins had been fished out.
It seemed that they still had some time to clean up, so Zhu Yu left here, returned, found familiar landmarks, and started searching again.
The process of searching underwater is very long, and Zhu Yu needs to stay focused to avoid missing any possible sunken ship.
It was very boring to do this, but he had to persevere.
Zhu Yu felt that this was probably the most boring experience he had ever had since treasure hunting.
Although there are occasional small gains in the middle, they are not the goal.
However, there was a salvage ship above his head, and Zhu Yu was afraid that the other party would find the sunken ship before he did.
Then his crime was too great - Zhu Yu believed that the salvage ship and the coast patrol ship that had never left were caused by his bombing of those two ships.
It's your own fault, you have to take it on yourself and deal with it no matter what!
Seeing that the oxygen was almost running out, Zhu Yu had no choice but to float up slowly.
When he was approaching the sea, Zhu Yu discovered the bottom of a huge ship - he immediately recognized that this was not a motor ship.
Could it be that coast patrol boat?
Zhu Yu immediately stayed away from this place and exposed his head two hundred meters away.
The motor boat has disappeared.
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay.
If the motor boats were still here, we'd be in big trouble.
Next he was worried again.
How can I go back by myself?
There seems to be signs that the coast guard ship is anchored here!
Big trouble!
