Chapter 999 Ancient Shipwreck
Mr. Fan, your head is called your brain. We all cried, Cai Moxue Fan Wubing explained, we couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook our heads, thinking that there was information about wealth in this.
With Fan Wubing's current financial situation, he would not let go of the commercial value hidden in the excavated seabed mud. It can only be said that this guy has completely taken his business operations to the extreme.
Fan Wubing smiled and replied, "Actually, to explore the value of sea mud, you also need to have a certain level of strength. If you let people put this stuff on their face and body, you have to first find out whether it is safe, so we are in this aspect It also involves some technology, and the post-processing is quite labor-intensive. It’s not easy to earn such hard money.”
After exploring natural beauty elements such as animals and plants, people began to pay attention to the ocean. In fact, in addition to sea mud, seaweed, sea salt, and seawater from the underwater world can all be used in beauty products.
For example, algae in the deep sea only require a small amount of nutrients and light to thrive. It is said. Seaweed stores a large amount of trace elements and minerals, and its iodine concentration is 20,000 times higher than that of the surrounding seawater.
When seaweed is made into active ingredients in skin care products, its trace elements are absorbed into the skin. It can effectively promote skin metabolism and cell renewal and activation, and increase skin moisture. And significantly improves skin elasticity.
Moreover, beauty products made from seaweed also have excellent oil control effects and can prevent the growth of acne and blackheads. The creams launched by some brands are mainly aimed at oil secretion and cleansing and moisturizing of facial skin.
Deep sea bath salts are rich in minerals and trace elements, which can penetrate deep into pores for deep cleansing, sterilization and disinfection, remove aging dead skin, increase subcutaneous blood circulation, and help skin regeneration.
Using bath salts can soothe the body and mind while exfoliating and having a certain slimming effect. Regular use will make your skin tender and smooth.
Sea salt can also be fully utilized in daily life. For example, apply fine salt to the area, massage gently, rest for a few minutes, and then use the pulp of your middle finger to squeeze massage from bottom to top on the open pores on both sides of the nose to achieve the effect of controlling oil secretion in the area.
Sea salt can also remove underarm odor because salt has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
As we age, minerals in the human body will gradually lose, thus affecting metabolism. Causes skin dysfunction, so supplementing minerals is an indispensable task to keep the skin healthy and beautiful. Deep seawater is rich in balanced minerals, which can be highly compatible with the skin and balance the pH value of the skin. Maintain the perfect moisture ratio of the cuticle, bringing sufficient moisture and a fresh feeling.
Using deep seawater as the main ingredient, it is made into a unique moisturizing spray that can be lightly sprayed on the face, body or hair.
Skin care products made from deep ocean water combined with some plant essences can not only regulate the condition of the skin, but also bring a fresh and moisturizing feeling.
"All this requires technology, but the effect is worthy of scrutiny, personally. I think it has some effect, at least much better than without such cosmetics." Fan Wubing said to Wu Fuzhen.
While the two people were chatting, a machine suddenly stopped over there.
"Huh? What's going on? Is it malfunctioning?" Fan Wubing felt a little stunned and said, "This new equipment is unreliable. It stopped working after only a few days of use. I have to talk to the designer carefully when I go back. This design should There must be some flaws. They paid more than five million in design fees.
Soon someone ran over and reported to Fan Wubing, "Boss, there is something under the sea."
"What is it? Could it be a mine?" Fan Wubing was also a little worried. After all, there had been many naval battles with Taiwan before. It is possible that this situation exists.
If you really encounter a mine, it will be quite troublesome. You will also need to find professional deminers to get the thing to a safe area and then detonate it. Such a process will take several days. Besides, , I still don’t know if this thing can be transferred out smoothly.
If something goes wrong during the transfer, it will be even more troublesome.
However, the subordinate replied, "It is not as dangerous as a mine, but it is much more troublesome than a mine."
"Is it a shipwreck?" Fan Wubing immediately thought of this possibility.
"That's right, the boss is really smart, he just discovered the sunken ship." His subordinates patted the horse with admiration. "The excavator discovered the main mast of a wooden sailboat. Based on experience, it seems that the length of this ship should be more than 40 meters. It is considered a big ship!"
"Can a ship more than 40 meters long sink here?" Fan Wubing was stunned.
The beach here is in an area that is being dredged, and the depth of the seabed is only more than thirty meters deep. How could he hide such a big boat without being discovered? This is a big discovery.
"It shouldn't be much different, but since it is a wooden ship structure, it is probably classified as a cultural relic. It will be difficult to clean up here for the time being." His subordinates said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing looked at Yue. The purpose is broad. He rubbed his temples. If a boat with a length of forty meters is discovered. It must be a cultural relic, but I don’t know if such a hassle will affect my construction period? After all, if you want to excavate an underwater sunken ship, it will take longer in terms of manpower, material resources and time.
Wu Fukuan was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, but then he thought of a question. "In this case, why not urge the cultural relics department to intervene immediately to see if it is worth excavating, so that construction can start earlier?"
"It should be so." Fan Wubing nodded in agreement.
Anyway, this sea area is relatively large, so we can temporarily bypass this side and start cleaning from the surrounding area first, but I hope that the cultural relics department will act faster and come to a conclusion as soon as possible. Whether to excavate or not, there must be a statement, so that it will be more convenient for me to arrange the next step of work.
Because of the instructions of Governor Wu Fukuan. The cultural relics department of Donghai Province is very efficient and rushed over on the same day. After cleaning up some hull fragments and some ship-borne cultural relics brought up by divers, the experts made a very exciting argument that this is a Song Dynasty ship, and most of the items on it are blue-and-white porcelain, but I don’t know how many of them are well preserved?
However, judging from the quality of the porcelain brought up, it is undoubtedly a high-quality work. In the Song and Ming dynasties, Donghai Province had always been trading with Japan and South Korea. Obviously, this was a ship heading to Japan, loaded with various porcelain and lacquerware that were deeply loved by Japanese nobles.
"Although a sunken ship was found as soon as the work started. It looks a bit of a bad omen, but the artifacts on this ship may be priceless. It can be regarded as a small supplement." Fan Wubing also felt a little entangled in this. After all, such an excavation always takes more than half a year.
The cultural relics department does not have so much money to excavate, so this time the excavation is still led by Fan's Investment Group with money and people, and the profits at that time are naturally the largest. In addition to the particularly precious and historically valuable main body of the ship and the particularly precious cultural relics on the ship that need to be handed over to the national cultural relics department, the other can be decided by Fan's Investment Group.
In other words, the porcelain excavated at that time can be auctioned, which makes Fan Wubing feel a little comforted.
But this also proves one thing. That is to say, Hengshan Port must have been a regular foreign trade port in the past, and it was a port for ocean trade, otherwise there would not be such a large shipwreck here.
The occurrence of this incident has caused some changes in Fan Wubing's schedule. Originally, he was going to follow the joint crew of CCTV and the company to see the process of salvaging the Kursk. Now such a thing has happened here. Obviously, the attraction of the Hengshan Port shipwreck is relatively large.
After inviting several professional salvage teams to participate, Fan's Investment Group began to use large underwater dredging machinery to mechanically remove the silt outside the circled range, and then manually remove it. It took a full half month to sort out the silt around the hull. Revealed a rough appearance.
Judging from the video footage taken by the underwater camera, the preservation of the wreck is still intact, but the three masts have been broken. Obviously, it has encountered some unknown maritime dangers, and the main body of the ship has also been broken. As for the two cabins above the deck, they are unrecognizable, like a cornfield destroyed by a bear.
What everyone is looking forward to most now is the main cargo stored in the cabin below the plywood. If this part is well preserved, the investment in this salvage operation will not be in vain.
In fact, the size and shape of Song Dynasty ships are not well understood now, especially the measurement of the Song Dynasty is very different from that of today, so even the records left in ancient books cannot clearly explain how big the ships were at that time. People now estimate the size of the ships at that time by inferring the proportions of people and ships seen in some paintings, which obviously has some errors.
Just like the treasure ship that Zheng He took when he sailed to the West, although it is rumored that the length is over 160 meters, no one has ever seen it, and people are skeptical about whether a wooden ship can be built so large. Now the excavation of this well-preserved Song Dynasty ship will obviously bring the archaeology of Song Dynasty ships into three new stages.
As the salvage operation continues to deepen. The various artifacts unearthed from the lacquered sunken ship are becoming more and more numerous, and the types are becoming more and more abundant. Many of the things here were unprecedented, which attracted the attention of cultural relics professionals across the country to Hengshan Port in Donghai Province.
