Chapter 507 Treasure Cemetery

Su Jing casually threw a sack of pearls into the storage bag. Then, I took out another sack and put those snails, blood corals, tortoise shells and other things in it. Although many of them are not very valuable, I picked up the blue-eyed fish anyway, so I just picked them up and sold them. No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat. It's a shame to waste it.

"Hey, there are actually some china!" After Su Jing picked up a few snails, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw three china ware lying on the ground, a bowl, an oval bottle, and a plate, all of which were obviously eroded by sea water. serious. However, the craftsmanship appears to be superb. Su Jing picked it up and observed it for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter, these three porcelains seemed to be antiques from the Qing Dynasty. Last time, because of luck, Su Jing found a sunken ship full of porcelain on the bottom of the sea, so he made hundreds of millions of dollars. This sweetness is still clearly remembered.

Su Jing stretched out his hand into the sea and tapped the reef at a certain rhythm. After a while, a few blue-eyed fish popped up and jumped excitedly. Su Jing asked with a smile, "You ask each other, who found these chinawares? Ask him to come here, and by the way, ask Xiaohu to come over."

A few blue-eyed fish got back into the sea and swam to ask him to communicate with the blue-eyed fish. After a while, the killer whale appeared, screaming excitedly, and a few more blue-eyed fish emerged, three of which were asking for credit. "We found it, we found it."

"You guys, take me to the place where I found the porcelain. Little tiger, follow them." Su Jing said, throwing the porcelain, snails, blood coral, etc. into the storage bag, and then jumped on the back of the killer whale. The whale is now nearly seven meters long and has a very wide back. Su Jing can sleep on it as a bed.

A few blue-eyed fish got the order and quickly swam in one direction, and the killer whale quickly caught up. It is worth mentioning that if the blue-eyed fish swims with all its strength, it is difficult for even the little tiger to catch up, and the ordinary killer whale is even less able to catch up.

After swimming for a hundred or two hundred kilometers, the blue-eyed fish slowed down, and then went to the bottom of the sea. The killer whale also took Su Jing to drill down, and when it drilled to a depth of nearly four hundred meters, it saw the bottom of the sea, and also saw the length of a ship on the bottom of the sea. A tattered ancient wooden boat of about ten meters.

The killer whale took Su Jing into it and searched inside, but found that it was empty and there was nothing there. It is possible that the cargo originally loaded has been completely rotted, or it may not be a cargo ship at all. After shopping around, I only found a few broken porcelains, which were of little value. It seemed that the blue-eyed fish had swept away very comprehensively. Those porcelains may be household necessities, not goods.

Although he didn't find the treasure, Su Jing's mind became active, thinking: "It's so easy to find a wreck again, it seems that there are quite a few wrecks on the bottom of the sea, it is worth continuing to explore, there should be some sea areas where there is a probability of wrecks. Higher, check it out."

Su Jing took out his mobile phone and checked the Internet. If he didn't check, he didn't know. When he checked, he was shocked. There were more shipwrecks on the seabed than he thought. In ancient times, navigation technology was far less developed than it is now. There was a history in which a ship was buried in the sea every 29 hours. In the 16th century, 45 out of every 100 ships of gold and silver shipped from the American colonies to Spain were sunk to the bottom by pirates and storms. Until the early 19th century, the number of cargo ships sunk by pirates and storms still amounted to 3o% to 4o%, and almost every sunken ship carried a treasure more or less.

Under the sea, there are several places known as the Five Treasures Cemetery. First, there is a seabed near the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean, where it is said that 1/1o of the gold on the earth is sunk there. The second is to the southeast of Bermudez, Cuba. The third is the 25o nautical miles off Cape Corleonete in Argentina. Fourth, near Chiloe Island in Chile. Fifth, the seabed of Cape Verde (Green Cape) in Senegal.

Why do they know that there are many treasures of sunken ships on the seabed in these places, but few people salvage it successfully, because it is too difficult to salvage the seabed, especially in these dangerous sea areas. For example, the first cemetery Sargasso Sea, it has the reputation of "the green field of the sea", but at the same time has the title of "the sea of ​​magic algae".

Since ancient times, almost none of the ships that have strayed into this "green ocean" have been able to "completely return to Zhao." Because of the lack of fresh water and food, no one survived, so people call this sea area "the graveyard of the ocean."

In the eyes of navigators, the Sargasso Sea is a sea desert and a ship's grave. In this empty and dead sea, hardly any edible fish can be caught. Turtles and the occasional whale seem to be the only life, in addition to those single-celled algae. The Sargasso Sea is described as a huge trap, passing ships are caught by the magical seaweed, trapped in the seaweed and unable to escape, and ultimately only the bones of sailors and the wreckage of ships are left. The Bermuda Triangle, as the most famous mysterious area in this sea area, pushes these legends to the extreme.

"There are so many treasures under the sea that it is difficult for others to salvage them, but I can. But places like the five cemeteries are too far away, and it is not practical to let the blue-eyed fish explore and salvage them now. I don't need to go there for the time being, because along the coast of our country, There are many shipwrecks, such as the Maritime Silk Road.”

Su Jing's eyes are bright. The Maritime Silk Road. Before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, China's main external channel was the Land Silk Road. Afterwards, due to wars and the shift of economic focus, the Maritime Silk Road replaced the land route as the main channel for Sino-foreign trade exchanges. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was an important carrier of human historical activities covering more than half of the earth and cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the main bulk cargo transported by the sea route was still silk, so later generations called this sea route connecting the East and the West the Maritime Silk Road. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the export of porcelain gradually became the main commodity, so it was also called the "Road of Maritime Ceramics".

On these routes, there are countless submarine wrecks, many of which are filled with porcelain. Because it is too difficult to salvage the ocean, there are still a large part of them still lying on the seabed quietly.

"It's decided, let's start the search from the Maritime Silk Road. The nearest point is not far from here." Su Jing smiled and asked all the blue-eyed fish and king squid to come and gather, and then issued an order to divide the labor and cooperate.

The blue-eyed fish are naturally responsible for the search. They will move the scattered treasures to one place and search on the Maritime Silk Road. Naturally, it is impossible to find one and move it back to the backyard and the sea. It is a waste of time. Just choose a position nearby. . The king squid is responsible for staying behind and protecting the treasures collected by the blue-eyed fish. Killer whales are responsible for carrying the collected treasures, bag by bag, back to the beach in the backyard. If you find a lot of wrecks made of porcelain, you will immediately come back to inform Su Jing, and Su Jing will go there in person.
