Chapter 296: Shipwreck

Jiang Hai didn’t care about Henry Morgan, and he was too lazy to care about it. Anyway, he had been dead for almost four hundred years. www.しwxs. com

But Jiang Hai is still very interested in his treasure. The sunken ship he is targeting this time is called the Sin City.

Of course, this name was written on the chart, and I don’t know if it was really Jiang Hai.

In fact, many people know about this ship, even the British government knows it, because it was still very famous when it sank. The United States was not as powerful as it is now. At the beginning, it was also in Europe. Colonies of various countries.

It was only after 1773 that Britain alone gained the upper hand.

Before that, it was a common colony of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and other countries.

When the war between Britain and Spain was raging, Henry Morgan naturally focused not only on South America, but also on North America, especially Florida. After all, this was the entrance to the Caribbean Sea.

Normally, when hunting rabbits, one would have to attack them once or twice.

This ship was blocked by the Spanish fleet here after plundering the Spanish colonies in North America. After a battle, although Henry Morgan escaped, he also left behind several battleships.

Some of the more submerged ones had already been divided up by Britain and Spain. Later, some of the more submerged ones were gradually salvaged after entering the technological era. However, only the ship with the most jewels was recovered. I have never caught it, because this ship is really unlucky. There is almost a trench in this sea area.

But coincidentally, there is only one, the deepest is more than 3,700 meters. And this ship happened to be stuck at about 1,760 meters.

No one can descend to this depth. If we send a submarine or something like that, we are afraid of touching it. The ship fell directly to more than 3,000 meters, and it was even more impossible to fish it out. So even though they knew the ship was here, no country could do anything about it.

If it is lost, they are reluctant to part with it, but if it is retrieved, they cannot get it back, not even the contents inside. They couldn't do it, so in the end, both the United States and the United Kingdom decided to let this thing sit here, and it wouldn't be lost anyway.

Later, when the fisherman sold these treasure maps, some people also found this place, but after taking a look, they were ready to go back and beat that guy. It was impossible to fish out such a boat.

But if others can't catch it, it doesn't mean that Jiang Hai can't do it. At least now Jiang Hai is working hard for this.

The engine speed is not too slow. Jiang Hai drove the fastest, about 20 nautical miles per hour, a distance of more than 100 nautical miles. Jiang Hai ran in the water for nearly six hours. By the time he reached the top of the trench, it was already midnight.

After looking at his own Rolex watch, Jiang Hai turned on his headlight, but as soon as he turned it on, he was startled.

As soon as he turned on his headlamp, he saw a huge fish swimming quickly in front of him.

Subconsciously he wanted to get a speargun. But a closer look revealed that this fish was not a shark. It is a bluefin tuna that is more valuable than any shark. Look at the blue lines on its back. Plus a streamlined body.

Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a shark, this kind of fish couldn't attack him.

After the fish swam away quickly, Jiang Hai also looked around and saw that bluefin tuna were actually fish that lived in groups.

As the headlight swept away, Jiang Hai also discovered that in addition to the bluefin tuna he saw just now, there were many other tuna nearby, but the species were a bit mixed, most of them were bluefin, but There are also some yellow fins.

After raising fish for so many years, Jiang Hai still has the ability to read fish. According to Jiang Hai's preliminary estimate, if the name of the fish king is not included, this tuna is worth about 2 million US dollars. .

This made Jiang Hai smack his lips. This is much more profitable than raising cattle. Salmon and American red fish are really on the same level as this fish. But unfortunately, there is no way to farm these fish. , because this kind of fish has to swim around all year round, the area of ​​​​their fishing ground is still too small, and there is no one that sells this kind of fish larvae.

There are no *, let alone artificial breeding. This means that if Jiang Hai comes by boat, he can get a few on board. The premise is that they cannot be discovered by others. You must know about tuna fishing, but There is a time limit.

From August to October every year, you can fish for tuna. Fishing beyond this time is not allowed.

So Jiang Hai could only sigh with regret and plunged into the deep sea.

As the numbers on Jiang Hai's GPS kept beating, Jiang Hai was getting further and further away from the sea level.

Jiang Hai saw a lot of creatures along the way, most of them were fish, but of course there were also some other things occasionally.

For example, jellyfish and the like, and Jiang Hai even saw a few sharks from a distance.

But unfortunately, they are all small sharks, either cat sharks or mako sharks. These sharks are not big in nature. They will come over to take a look when they see the light source, but they leave immediately after taking one look.

Obviously the sharks here have seen humans and suffered losses at the hands of humans. They are not willing to face Jiang Hai.

As the water got deeper and deeper, Jiang Hai felt that the water temperature was getting colder and colder. Even if he was wearing fluffy clothes, Jiang Hai felt a little chilly and could not help but shrink his neck. The temperature of the sea water changes throughout the year.

The temperature at sea level is related to the local temperature, but at 350 meters below the sea surface, the temperature is basically the same all over the world, except for the Arctic and Antarctic. This layer is also called the constant temperature layer, and in the constant temperature layer Below the layer, the further you go one thousand meters down, the colder it becomes. Take the Atlantic Ocean as an example. The average temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is 16.9 degrees. One thousand meters below the water surface, the water temperature is about four to five degrees. , further down one thousand meters, it is two to three degrees, and further down, to about three thousand meters, it is more than one degree.

Although Jiang Hai is extremely resistant now, he is still not able to avoid the cold and heat. However, as long as it is less than 20 or 30 degrees below zero, Jiang Hai will still have no problem. As the seabed becomes deeper and deeper, after passing one thousand meters , the fish around Jiang Hai completely disappeared.

Originally, a thousand meters ago, he occasionally saw a very ugly fish, the lantern fish, whose scientific name is the deep-sea angler fish. It is similar in length to the angler fish, but there is a small light on the head, which attracts the curiosity of other small fish. Come check it out and it eats the fish.

This kind of fish basically lives between 700 meters and 900 meters. After 1,000 meters, this kind of fish is gone.

It seemed that for an instant, Jiang Hai was the only one in the world. Except for the place where the headlight shone, everything else was pitch black.

To be honest, such a scene is really scary. After all, there is nothing around him. In Jiang Hai's mind, he unconsciously imagined that he was swimming in front of him. Was there some sea monster or something like that, swimming in front of him? Behind, prepare to prey on yourself.

But fortunately, he knew that these were just his imagination.

While emboldening myself, I stayed focused and continued swimming downstream.

At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Hai, who had a headlamp that could illuminate a distance of 200 meters, finally discovered his target, the Sin City.

This is a very old medieval sailing ship. The entire length is about thirty meters, and the width is about half of the length, about fifteen meters.

Although it took longer to sink than the shipwreck that Jiang Haihai saw once, it may have been because it was in the deep sea. There is no oxygen and no sunlight here, so the natural corrosion rate is much lower, huh? How can Jiang Hai live without oxygen?

Well, Jiang Hai didn't know how he lived here. Anyway, he didn't feel depressed.

At this time, the ship was like an I-shape. The bow and stern were just stuck on both sides of the sea, hanging there in the air. The sails and other things on the ship had long been rotten. , some ship planks and the like were also broken.

In the empty cabin, some passing kelp and the like took root and sprouted there, drifting around with the current under the water, as if saying "Come on, come on!", but Who knows what will happen after going there?

On the bow of the ship, the Virgin Mary, which was originally made of metal, could no longer see its original appearance at this time.

You can only see a lot of shellfish parasitizing there, and some plants that Jiang Hai can't name, making their home there.

Looking at the appearance of the ship, Jiang Hai felt that the dark wind in his head seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

The whole ship gives people the feeling of a ghost ship. Well, this is originally a ghost ship.

Jiang Hai took a special look when he was descending. The boat was just resting on the edge of the cliff. Although it was unclear whether the boat could withstand the impact of his fall, Jiang Hai was not prepared to try. If he couldn't hold on and fell, wouldn't he have to stay more than two thousand meters downstream? This would be too tiring.

So he planned to lie down on the cliffs on both sides first, and then slowly get on the boat. However, when Jiang Hai shined his headlight on the cliffs on both sides, his scalp seemed to explode, and the hair all over his body also disappeared. It tightened instantly, making the hairs stand on end.

The entire back gave people a dense feeling of nausea, and he almost couldn't hold the engine in his hand.

Fortunately, he was quite brave. He grabbed the engine forcefully and shut it down, preventing the thing from falling. After another spit, Jiang Hai suppressed his nausea and looked at the cliffs on both sides. .

Under the illumination of his headlamp, countless insects were densely packed on the cliffs on both sides.

Looking at these insects, Jiang Hai subconsciously stopped in the middle, and he didn't know what to do. (To be continued.)
