Chapter 192: Re-Entering the Sea
"Puff tom" there was another splash of water, and Jiang Hai's figure also fell into the water again.
As Jiang Hai entered the water, a huge shadow also appeared beside Jiang Hai, constantly wandering around.
Patting the head of the sand tiger shark beside him, Jiang Hai smiled lightly, and then swam towards the coral reef in the distance.
This is already the second day after Jiang Hai came back, and it was also the second day after he found those gold coins.
Last night, after he learned the value of these gold coins, he didn't have a good rest.
He kept thinking in his mind about the news about these gold coins, why these gold coins are here, how they are here, who put them here, or what accident happened, Jiang Hai is completely indifferent. Care.
According to what Moses Adams' friends said, these gold coins are likely to be related to the Anglo-American War.
The so-called Anglo-American War, also known as the Second War of Independence, has special meaning to the American emperor, but to Jiang Hai, it has no meaning at all. After all, Jiang Hai is not from this country.
As far as he is concerned, he only knows that this gold coin is worth four hundred dollars, which is enough.
When he was lying in bed yesterday, he vaguely remembered that there were still many reefs like that.
There are more than 400 gold coins in this box, which is nearly 200,000. If there are 10 boxes, it will be 2 million. If there are 100 boxes, it will be 20 million. Recently, the money in his bank card is almost gone. up.
Counting the tax payment this year, Jiang Hai's assets are estimated to be only 1.8 million.
Originally he also knew. There is a lot of wealth in the ocean, but he has been very entangled in the past, because the ocean is also very scary to him, but now it seems. If it's at your doorstep, it doesn't matter.
The most important thing is that Jiang Hai should really find a way to make some money. Although he can wait until the beef cattle show in April, there are still two months left. Jiang Hai will not be able to sit and eat in these two months.
So this morning. After he had breakfast, he left the villa. This time he was much better prepared than he was yesterday.
Not only did I change into a warm diving suit, but I also specially brought a new bag, small shovel, and small shovel. Xiaodao, in order to deal with the problems encountered in the ocean, after driving the boat to the farthest point of the coral reef, Jiang Hai fixed the boat here.
When the boat arrived, Dasha had already appeared. After discovering that it was Jiang Hai, it was obviously very excited.
After Jiang Hai threw a large piece of beef to it. He also changed his clothes, turned over and entered the water.
Jiang Hai didn't need to think about breathing in the water, and he was wearing a diving suit, so the resistance was much smaller than yesterday.
After reuniting with Dasha, Jiang Hai quickly swam towards the distant rocks with a bunch of things.
Originally, before digging out the treasure chest, Jiang Hai hadn't paid attention to these reefs, thinking that they were just the bases of corals. But now these seemingly unremarkable reefs represent boxes of wealth.
After finding the reef where he dug out the treasure chest yesterday, he swung the pickaxe and smashed it on a reef not far from it that was similar in size to it. These limestone reefs were no match for Jiang Hai.
Because the reefs themselves are not big, and the box itself is not small, so Jiang Hai doesn't need to destroy these reefs, and he doesn't even need to touch the sea anemones, sponges, seaweeds and corals on these reefs. You need to make a hole on the side, knock a piece of reef, and you can see if there is anything in it.
Jiang Hai's luck was not very good. The first piece he opened was just an ordinary reef, and there was nothing else in it.
A deep pit about 20 centimeters in diameter and 10 centimeters deep was knocked out, and there was nothing in it except limestone-like stones. Although he knew that this was the point of relying on it, Jiang Hai couldn't help but grow out of it. He breathed a sigh of relief, but it was impossible for him to give up so quickly, and then he opened the second one.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The propagation speed of the sound in the water is really slow. Even Jiang Hai can hardly hear it clearly. The scattered stone chips.
Finally, when a hole was knocked open on the third reef, the same metal box that had been rusted black and blue appeared in front of him. With his strength again, the box was also planed open by him with a sound. A gold coin that was exactly the same as yesterday rolled and floated down from the box along with the water flow.
"Damn, die!" Swinging his fist vigorously, Jiang Hai looked at the falling gold coins, and couldn't help shouting a few words in his heart.
Facts have proved that Jiang Hai did not guess wrong. The box of gold coins did not float here, or someone threw it here.
But really in batches, they sank to this place artificially more than a hundred years ago, or two hundred years ago.
But what these people are for, Jiang Hai doesn't know, it doesn't look like a sunken ship, because even if it is a ship that has sunk for hundreds of years, it is estimated that it has been discovered by others in such a shallow sea.
The gold seems to be a treasure chest deliberately sunk here, not a ship.
But no matter what the person who threw down these gold coins originally thought, anyway, these things belong to Jiang Hai now.
With Jiang Hai's pickaxe swinging fast, the box was opened with a big gap in a short while, and then Jiang Hai also took all the gold coins in the box into his bag.
It was also more than 400 pieces, and he didn't count them carefully, but the number should be about the same.
With the harvest, Jiang Hai became more diligent, and quickly swam to the next reef.
During this period, Dasha has been staying above Jiang Hai's head, helping Jiang Hai to guard the surroundings.
Facts have proved that beef contains more energy than fish, and sharks consume a lot of energy in the water.
So things like them, or tuna, need to keep swimming to get food.
But the current Dasha obviously has more energy and is hungrier after eating beef than usual.
In this way, before he knew it, Jiang Hai also dug the reef for more than three hours. During this period of time, when he was digging, and when he was not digging, the ratio was about three to one, three to one. One cannot be dug, and one of them can be dug.
But even with such a ratio, Jiang Hai dug up almost a dozen boxes. Looking down, the bag he originally used to hold the gold coins was almost out of place at this time, and it seemed that he had shipped it back. Looking up, Jiang Hai has only dug about one-thirtieth of the reefs that are about the same size at this time. Jiang Hai's reef group is really not small.
"Let's go back to eat first, and come back later." Although Jiang Hai's physical fitness can be called the limit among human beings, he still can't stand it after such a high-intensity work and working underwater for so long. Hungry and silly, Jiang Hai also smiled and swam back to the first boat.
Of course, when I was leaving, I caught a few crabs, a lobster, and some abalones. I didn’t eat them yesterday, but I want to try anything tonight. The abalones Jiang Hai dug are the biggest, and each one is about the same size. It must be about half a catty. This is the best double-headed abalone. Jiang Hai had no chance to eat it before. Today is really a lucky day.
After boarding the boat, Jiang Hai asked Dasha to go foraging for food, while he changed his clothes like yesterday, put the gold coins on the bottom and the caught seafood on top, and then drove the boat Back at the dock, Edward Anderson was directing everyone to check the situation of the ship. They had already inspected the boat in the morning, and they were going to inspect it again in the afternoon.
Regarding Jiang Hai, the boss, although everyone was a little curious about what Jiang Hai was doing alone at sea for a long time, but Edward knew that this mysterious oriental boss was not something they could inquire about, and suppressed the fishermen. Out of curiosity, after helping Jiang Hai fix the box, Jiang Hai returned home. When he returned home, Mrs. Philemon had already prepared lunch.
After Jiang Hai had a simple meal, he talked to Darlene and Marianne, and left again with ten catties of beef.
In the afternoon, he still came to that piece of sea area, first gave the beef to Dasha who came looking for the sound, and then he dived into the bottom of the sea again.
When he went back at noon, he roughly counted the gold coins he got in the morning, a total of 6,217 gold coins.
If one can sell for 400 US dollars, this is nearly 2.5 million US dollars.
What kind of work can he earn more than two million US dollars in one morning? Now when he dives into the sea again and looks at the reefs in front of him, they are no longer gray rocks, but Franklins shining green one by one. .
With the stimulation and encouragement of money, Jiang Hai worked hard again, probably because he gained a lot of experience in the morning. In the afternoon, Jiang Hai clearly improved his combat effectiveness again. When the blood-red sun shines on the sea On the plane, Jiang Hai had already planed the twenty-first box he found in the afternoon. There are indeed many boxes in this sea area.
"It's time to go back." While picking up the gold coins that fell from the box after digging it open, Jiang Hai looked at the ocean above the sea level that had been dyed red, just as Jiang Hai felt that he had put the gold coins in the box After picking everything up, when he was about to leave, he suddenly found that inside the big box, a small iron box appeared in his line of sight.
"This, what is it?" Randomly took out this small iron box, Jiang Hai looked at it a little strangely. (To be continued.)
