The depth here is about seven or eight hundred meters. It is completely dark and you can't see your fingers.
However, through the killer whale's ultrasonic detection, Su Jing could clearly feel the shape of the large object on the seabed, which should be a sunken ship. It has an ancient shape, half submerged in mud and half exposed, with a tattered surface.
When you get closer, you can detect the broken parts of the ship and find many cube-shaped objects inside, which should be boxes. There are also many objects similar to plates, bottles and other shapes scattered around.
"Plate? Bottle? Could it be ancient porcelain?"
Su Jing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This ship was filled with porcelain. It was probably an ancient merchant ship, so the quality of these porcelains should not be too low. Nowadays, they may even be extremely precious antiques. The antiques on this ship , the value is still huge no matter what. Su Jing didn't expect that when she went out to sea for a trip, she would have the opportunity to encounter an underwater shipwreck filled with porcelain.
In fact, according to statistics, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 ancient Chinese shipwrecks in the waters of China and Southeast Asia, most of which are ships from the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Most of the treasures on these sunken ships are exquisite ancient Chinese porcelain, forming a "undersea porcelain capital". With the continuous appreciation of ancient Chinese cultural relics, these undersea treasure troves have attracted the attention of more and more sea treasure thieves.
However, treasure hunting on the seabed is not an easy task. It is many times more complicated and difficult than archeology on land. It took some people more than ten years to find the sunken ship based on clues, and more salvage teams spent time, energy and financial resources. , gained nothing, lost everything.
Su Jing was able to find the sunken ship so easily. In addition to luck, the bigger reason was that she relied on the two abilities of killer whales. One is that the seabed is unobstructed, and the other is ultrasonic detection. Such a convenient ability is incomparable to any salvage team. Up.
"It's seven to eight hundred meters deep and my body can't come down at all. Let the killer whale bring a box up first to see if it's valuable. If it's all cheap stuff, I won't bother to salvage it."
With this thought in mind, Su Jing controlled the killer whale and got in through a hole in the sunken ship. She carefully examined it and prepared to select a box to take away. At this time, I suddenly heard movement deep in the ship, and a huge thing was crawling over from the depths of the cabin.
Su Jing first used ultrasonic waves to detect the huge thing crawling over. She stayed there for a second, then picked up a box and suddenly turned around and ran away with all her strength. At this time, even if the ship was full of gold, he had no time left to take care of it. If you read it correctly, the huge thing that emerged from the depths of the cabin should be a giant squid. The body has not been fully emerged yet, and it is already more than fifteen meters long. There is no doubt that this is an extremely dangerous creature hiding in this ship and perhaps making its home here.
Su Jing controlled the killer whale and swam upward quickly. She released ultrasonic detection and found that the giant squid had not caught up. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to swim upstream. She did not feel relieved until she reached the sea surface.
Su Jing withdrew her mental energy into her body, sat on the back of the loggerhead turtle, and gasped: "Huhu, it's so dangerous. I just relied on ultrasonic detection, so I couldn't see it directly, and I couldn't confirm what kind of squid it was. However, ten There are only two kinds of squid that are more than five meters long. One is the king squid, and the other is the giant squid. No matter which one they are, they are extremely dangerous. I, an underage killer whale, is absolutely no match for me."
Giant squid and king squid are the largest and second largest molluscs in the world, reaching a height of more than 20 meters and 40 to 50 tons. Their only natural enemy is the sperm whale. If it is a group of killer whales or an adult killer whale, there is no need to be afraid of squid. Unfortunately, Su Jing is not only alone, but also only over five meters long, and is still underage. Even if they are stronger than ordinary killer whales because they have eaten monster meat and jade-toothed fish, they still can't make up for the huge gap in size.
"Bring up a random box and see what's inside." Su Jing took the wooden box that the killer whale was biting in its mouth, moved it to the loggerhead turtle's back, and gently broke it, and the wooden box broke. The wooden box passed by It has been soaked in sea water for many years and is almost rotten.
Inside the box was a hexagonal blue vase, about sixty centimeters high, with zigzag lines and beautiful and intricate decorations. At first glance, it was pleasing to the eye and looked absolutely extraordinary. Turn the porcelain bottle to the bottom, and you can see the six-character and three-line seal script "Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty" written on the bottom. If this is not an imitation, it should be the porcelain of the Yongzheng period.
"It looks like it's worth a few dollars." Su Jing took out the storage bag and put the bottle in it. She also took out the spirit animal bag and put the loggerhead turtle in it. She memorized this sea area and then rode on The killer whale has returned home. Regardless of whether the porcelain is valuable or not, the sunken ship is not so easy to salvage with a giant squid guarding it. This matter cannot be rushed.
After returning home, Su Jing took out her mobile phone to take photos of the bottle from all angles, and then sent them to Shen Hong. After several previous exchanges, Su Jing knew that although Shen Hong was stingy, he was still very good at appraising treasures, and if it was a more valuable treasure, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Sure enough, after a while, she received a call from Shen Hong. What Su Jing didn't expect was that Shen Hong's tone was extremely excited: "You... you... Where did you take the photo? It's not you who set up the stall again." Did you buy it somewhere?"
Su Jing was a little surprised. Could it be that this bottle was simpler than she imagined? He replied: "Of course not. Where can I buy such good things at a stall? This was given to me by a friend. It is very precious, right?"
"It's more than precious!" Shen Hong said in an extremely excited tone, "This six-square bottle combines various techniques such as painting, stenciling, sculpture, and relief. They reflect each other and have their own unique features, including the twists and turns of the lines and the overall proportions. It has a similar charm to the Wugong flower goblet that Tang Ying ordered to bake, and the production process is by no means ordinary. Jingdezhen calls this type of utensils 'inlay ware'. It does not need to be drawn, but can only be pieced together. It is more likely to be cracked and deformed during firing. , so we strive to have a round and straight shape, which is really the best choice. Reliefs and piles of sculptures require printing and careful carving, which is very labor-intensive and time-consuming. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted. This piece of porcelain is also the best choice among the Yongzheng porcelain vases of the Qing Dynasty. .”
"How much is it worth?" Su Jing asked.
"I'm not sure how much it's worth. You don't know how to appreciate it if you keep it. Why don't you transfer it to me for one million? In addition, last time, I helped you appraise it twice for free, so just treat it like selling it to me. Bomian, if there is anything you need to identify in the future, I will do it for free."
"Can't you tell?" Su Jing smiled. It's not that the old guy couldn't tell, but he just didn't want to tell. He bought it for one million, which means it's definitely more than one million. She said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, this bottle is It's a gift from a friend, but I won't sell it. Just tell me how much it's worth, and I'll pay for the appraisal fee. I still have a lot of treasures. If you can't estimate it, I'll find someone else to appraise it in the future."
"You still have a lot of treasures?" Shen Hong was convinced of Su Jing's words, his tone was obviously very happy, and he said with a smile, "I can't say for sure, I can only give a rough estimate, it should be worth at least four million. above."
Su Jing rolled her eyes. This old guy wanted to buy something worth at least four million for one million. At the same time, I was extremely excited. The value of this bottle was far beyond my imagination. A bottle was so expensive, and a boatload of porcelain was worth it
Su Jing felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she wanted to run and pick up the entire ship immediately.
