"Puff!" There was another splash of water, and Jiang Hai's figure fell into the water again.
As Jiang Hai entered the water, a huge shadow also appeared next to Jiang Hai, constantly wandering around.
After patting the head of the sand tiger shark next to him, Jiang Hai chuckled and swam towards the coral reef area in the distance.
This was already the second day after Jiang Hai came back, and the second day after he discovered those gold coins.
Last night, after he learned the value of these gold coins, he had not had a good rest.
He has been thinking about the news about these gold coins, why these gold coins are here, how they are here, who put them here, or what happened in an accident, etc. Jiang Hai has no idea at all. Care.
According to what friends of Moses Adams said, these gold coins are likely to be related to the Anglo-American War.
The so-called Anglo-American War, also called the Second War of Independence, had special significance for the American imperialists, but for Jiang Hai, it had no meaning. After all, Jiang Hai was not from this country.
For him, he only knew that this gold coin was worth four hundred dollars, and that was enough.
When he was lying in bed yesterday, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a lot of rocks like that.
There are more than 400 gold coins in this box, which is nearly 200,000. If there are ten boxes, it will be 2 million, and if there are 100 boxes, it will be 20 million. Recently, the money in his bank card is almost gone. .
Counting the tax paid this year, Jiang Hai's assets are estimated to be only 1.8 million.
Originally he also knew that there was a lot of wealth in the ocean, but he had always been troubled before, because the ocean was also scary to him, but now it seems that if it is at his doorstep, it doesn't matter.
The most important thing is that Jiang Hai should really find a way to make some money. Although he can wait until the beef cattle show in April, there are still two months left. Jiang Hai can't just sit back and rest in these two months.
So this morning, after having breakfast, he left the villa. This time he was much better prepared than he was yesterday.
Not only did he change into a warm diving suit, but he also brought a new bag, a shovel, a spade, and a knife to deal with the problems he would encounter in the ocean. After driving the boat to the farthest point of the coral reef, Jiang Hai So the boat was fixed here.
When the ship arrived, Dasha had already appeared. After discovering that it was Jiang Hai, he was obviously very excited.
After Jiang Hai threw a large piece of beef to it, he also changed his clothes and turned over into the water.
Jiang Hai didn't need to think about breathing in the water. In addition, he was wearing a diving suit, so the resistance was much smaller than yesterday.
After meeting up with Dasha, Jiang Hai took a bunch of things and swam quickly towards the rocks in the distance.
Originally, before digging out the treasure box, Jiang Hai had not paid much attention to these reefs, thinking that they were just the base of corals. But now these seemingly ordinary reefs represent boxes of wealth.
After finding the reef where he dug out the treasure chest yesterday, he swung his pickaxe and smashed it on a reef that was about the same length not far from it. These limestone rocks were no match for Jiang Hai.
Because these reefs themselves are not big, and the box itself is not small, Jiang Hai does not need to destroy these reefs, or even touch the anemones, sponges, seaweeds and corals on these reefs. He only needs to You need to make a hole in the side and break open a piece of rock to see if there is anything inside.
Jiang Hai's luck was not very good. The first piece he opened was just an ordinary reef with nothing else inside.
A deep pit with a diameter of about twenty centimeters and a depth of ten centimeters was dug out. There was nothing in it except limestone stones. Although he had known for a long time that this was a leaning point, Jiang Hai could not help but grow He took a breath, but it was impossible for him to give up so quickly, and then he started the second one.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The speed of sound propagating in the water is really slow. Even Jiang Hai can hardly hear it clearly. This close knocking sound is just the vibration of the water waves, and the Stone chips scattered in all directions.
Finally, when a hole was opened on the third piece of rock, the same metal box that had been rusted into black and blue appeared in front of him. As he exerted force again, he opened the box with a sound. A gold coin, exactly the same as yesterday, rolled and floated down from the box with the water flow.
"Jesus, yes!" He waved his fist vigorously. Jiang Hai looked at the falling gold coins and couldn't help but shout a few words in his heart.
Facts have proved that Jiang Hai's guess was not wrong. The box of gold coins did not float here, or someone threw it here.
But they really sank to this place artificially in batches more than a hundred years ago, or two hundred years ago.
But Jiang Hai didn't know what these people were for. It didn't look like a sunken ship, because even if it was a ship that had sunk for hundreds of years, it would have been discovered by others long ago in such a shallow sea.
This gold seems to be a treasure chest that someone deliberately sunk here, not a ship.
But no matter what the people who originally threw away these gold coins thought, these things now belong to Jiang Hai.
As Jiang Hai swung his pickaxe quickly, the box was opened with a large gap in a short time, and then Jiang Hai also took out all the gold coins in the box into his own bag.
There were also more than four hundred pieces. He didn't count them carefully, but the number should be about the same.
With the harvest, Jiang Hai became even more diligent and swam quickly to the next reef.
During this period, Dasha stayed above Jiang Hai's head, helping Jiang Hai to guard the surroundings.
Facts have proven that beef does contain much more energy than fish, and sharks consume a lot of energy in the water.
So they, or tuna, need to keep swimming to get food.
But now Dasha obviously has more energy and is hungrier than usual after eating beef.
In this way, without knowing it, Jiang Hai had been digging for more than three hours. During this period, there were times when he was digging and times when he was not digging. The ratio was about three to one, three to one. Among them, there is one that can be dug.
But even with this ratio, Jiang Hai had dug out almost a dozen boxes. Looking down, he saw that the bag he originally used to hold the gold coins was almost no longer able to hold it. It seemed that he had transported it back, and Looking up, Jiang Hai had only dug out about one-thirtieth of this reef of similar size. Jiang Hai's reef group was really not small.
"Let's go back to eat first and come back later." Although Jiang Hai's physical fitness is the ultimate among human beings, he can't stand such a high-intensity and working underwater for so long. Dasha was spinning hungrily above his head. Jiang Hai also smiled and swam back to the main boat.
Of course, when I left, I caught a few crabs, a lobster and some abalones. I didn’t eat them yesterday, so I will try them tonight. The abalones Jiang Hai dug were all the biggest, and one was almost the same. It must be about half a catty. This is the best double-headed abalone. Jiang Hai has never had the chance to eat it before. Today is really a lucky day.
After getting on the boat, Jiang Hai also asked Dasha to go look for food, while he changed his clothes, like yesterday, put the gold coins below, the caught seafood on top, and then drove the bow boat Returning to the pier, Edward Anderson was directing everyone to check the condition of the ship. They had already inspected the ship in the morning and were planning to do another inspection in the afternoon.
Regarding Jiang Hai, the boss, although everyone was a little curious about what Jiang Hai was doing after being alone at sea for a long time, Edward knew that this mysterious Eastern boss was not someone they could inquire about, so he suppressed the fishermen. Out of curiosity, he helped Jiang Hai secure the box, and then Jiang Hai returned home. When he returned home, Mrs. Philemon had already prepared lunch.
Jiang Hai had a simple meal, said something to Darlene and Marianne, and left again carrying ten pounds of beef.
In the afternoon, he still came to that sea area. After giving the beef to Dasha who came looking for the sound, he dived to the bottom of the sea again.
When he went back at noon, he roughly counted the gold coins he got in the morning, totaling 6,217.
If one can be sold for $400, that's nearly $2.5 million.
What kind of job can earn more than two million US dollars in one morning? Now he dived into the sea again and looked at the rocks in front of him. They were no longer gray rocks, but Franklin's shining green. .
With the stimulation and encouragement of money, Jiang Hai started digging hard again. Perhaps because he gained a lot of experience in the morning, Jiang Hai's combat effectiveness clearly improved again in the afternoon. When the blood-red sunshine shone on the sea When they were on the surface, Jiang Hai had already finished digging the twenty-first box he found in the afternoon. As expected, there were many boxes in this sea area.
"It's time to go back." While picking up the gold coins that fell from the box after digging it open, Jiang Hai looked at the ocean above his head that had been dyed red. Just when Jiang Hai felt that he had already removed the gold coins in the box. He had finished picking them all and was about to leave when he suddenly found that inside the big box, a small iron box appeared in his sight.
"What is this?" Jiang Hai casually took out this small iron box and looked at it strangely.
