Su Jing casually threw a sack of pearls into the storage bag. Then, he took out another sack to put the snails, blood corals, turtle shells and the like. Although many of them were not very valuable, he had picked up the blue-eyed fish anyway, so he could just pick them up and sell them. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It is a shameful waste.
"Hey, there are actually some porcelains!" After Su Jing picked up a few snails, her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw three porcelains lying on the ground, a bowl, an oval bottle, and a plate. They were all obviously corroded by sea water. serious. However, it looks like the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. Su Jing picked it up and observed it for a while, her eyes getting brighter and brighter. These three porcelains seemed to be antiques from the Qing Dynasty. Last time, due to luck, Su Jing found a sunken ship full of porcelain at the bottom of the sea and made hundreds of millions. She still remembers this sweetness clearly.
Su Jing stretched out her hand into the sea and tapped the rocks with a certain rhythm. After a while, several blue-eyed fish appeared and jumped happily. Su Jing asked with a smile, "Ask each other, who found these porcelains? Call it over, and call Xiaohu over by the way."
Several blue-eyed fish got back into the sea and swam to communicate with the other blue-eyed fish. After a while, the killer whale emerged, screaming happily, and several more blue-eyed fish emerged, three of which looked like they were taking credit. He shouted, "We found it, we found it."
"Be good, take me to the place where I found the porcelain. Little Tiger, follow them." Su Jing said, throwing the porcelain, snails, blood corals, etc. into the storage bag, and then jumped onto the back of the killer whale. The whale is now nearly seven meters long, and its back is very wide. Su Jing can lie on it and use it as a bed.
Several blue-eyed fish were ordered to swim quickly in one direction, and the killer whales quickly caught up. It is worth mentioning that if the blue-eyed fish swims at full strength now, it will be difficult for even the tiger cubs to catch up, and it is even beyond the reach of ordinary killer whales.
After swimming for one or two hundred kilometers, the blue-eyed fish slowed down and then drilled to the bottom of the sea. The killer whale also took Su Jing and drilled down. When it reached a depth of nearly 400 meters, it saw the bottom of the sea and the length of a ship on the bottom of the sea. A dilapidated ancient wooden boat about ten meters long.
The killer whale took Su Jing in and searched inside, but found that it was empty and there was nothing inside. Maybe the goods that were originally loaded had completely rotted, or maybe this was not a cargo ship at all. After shopping around, I only found a few broken porcelains, which were of little value. It seemed that Blue Eyed Fish had done a thorough sweep. Those porcelains might be people's daily necessities, not goods.
Although no more treasures were found, Su Jing's mind became active and she thought: "It's so easy to find another sunken ship. It seems that there are many sunken ships on the seabed. It is worth continuing to explore. There should be some sea areas with a probability of sunken ships." Higher, check.”
Su Jing took out her mobile phone and checked online. She didn't know if she didn't check. When she checked, she was shocked to find that there were more sunken ships on the seabed than she thought. In ancient times, navigation technology was far less developed than it is now. For a period in history, a ship was lost in the sea every 29 hours. In the 16th century, for every 100 gold and silver ships shipped from the American colonies to Spain, 45 were sunk to the bottom of the sea by pirates and storms. Until the beginning of the 19th century, 30% to 40% of cargo ships were sunk by pirates and storms, and almost every sunken ship contained some treasure.
Under the sea, there are several places called the Five Treasures Cemetery. First, there is a seabed near the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. It is said that 1/1o of the gold on the earth has sunk there. Second, southeast of Bermudez, Cuba. Third, 25o nautical miles off the coast of Argentina's Cape Coriante. Fourth, near Chiloe Island in Chile. Fifth, the seabed of Cape Verde (Green Cape) in Senegal.
Why are there so many sunken treasures on the seabed in these places, but few people have succeeded in salvaging them? It’s because it’s too difficult to salvage them, especially in these dangerous waters. For example, the Sargasso Sea in the First Cemetery is known as the "Green Field of the Sea", but it is also known as the "Sea of Demonic Algae".
Since ancient times, almost none of the ships that strayed into this "green sea" can "return to Zhao intact". In the era of sailing ships, I don't know how many ships were entangled with sargassum because they strayed into this strange sea area. Many people died because they ran out of fresh water and food, so people called this sea area "the graveyard of the ocean."
In the eyes of navigators, the Sargasso Sea is a maritime desert and a graveyard of ships. In this empty and dead sea, almost no 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 has been described as a huge trap. Ships passing by will be captured by magical seaweed and trapped in the seaweed, unable to escape. In the end, only the bones of sailors and the wreckage of the ship will be left. The Bermuda Triangle, as the most famous mysterious area in this sea area, has pushed these legends to the extreme.
"There are so many treasures under the sea that are difficult for others to salvage, but I can. However, places like the Five Cemeteries are too far away. It is not practical for the blue-eyed fish to 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. Later, due to wars and shifts in economic focus, the Maritime Silk Road replaced the land route and became the main channel for Sino-foreign trade exchanges. , during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was an important carrier of human historical activities and cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West covering most of the earth.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the main bulk cargo transported by sea lanes was still silk, so later generations called this sea lane connecting the East and the West the Maritime Silk Road. By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, porcelain exports gradually became the main cargo, so it was also called the "Maritime Ceramics Road".
Along these routes, there are numerous underwater shipwrecks, many of which are filled with porcelain. Because it is too difficult to salvage from the ocean, a large part of it is still lying quietly on the seabed.
"It's decided, let's start the search from the Maritime Silk Road. The nearest point is not far from here." Su Jing chuckled and asked all the blue-eyed fish and king squid to come and gather, and then issued orders to divide the work and cooperate.
The blue-eyed fish are naturally responsible for searching, transporting the scattered treasures to one place, and searching on the Maritime Silk Road. Naturally, it is impossible to find one and then move it back to the backyard and the beach. That would be a waste of time. Just choose a position nearby. . The king squid is responsible for staying in position and protecting the treasures collected by the blue-eyed fish. The killer whale is responsible for carrying the treasures collected bag by bag back to the beach in the backyard. If you find a sunken ship with a lot of porcelain, come back immediately and notify Su Jing, who will go there in person.
