71% of the Earth's surface is surrounded by oceans, and within these vast oceans, at least three million sunken ships lie quietly at the bottom, waiting to be discovered!
What does this m...
Chapter 326 How did you do it?
The 'Calypsope' docked at the Odessa dock. The dock staff boarded the ship to inspect it. They were curious about the various high-tech equipment on board.
After the inspection, Chen Cheng directly arranged the personnel on duty, Xiao Zhou and Kabaye took the logistics personnel to carry out intensive modification work on the sailboat, and Moro was responsible for contacting the seamen's club to arrange food and accommodation for the crew.
Everyone has their own responsibilities.
"Xiao, don't you want to go ashore and take a look?" Fabian asked.
Pascal also said, "I've already arranged a hotel. It's at the Seaview Resort Hotel not far from the pier. Let's relax!"
Xiao Peng said, "Don't worry!"
"No hurry?" Fabian said. "Look, everyone knows what they should do. What are you doing here? I want to take a Turkish bath now. Didn't you say you wanted to 'wash away bad luck'?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm waiting for someone here!"
"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?" Fabian asked in confusion.
He remembered it just after he finished the call.
Xiao Peng glanced at the phone number and laughed, "Hey, I told you the turtle is coming! Here it comes!"
He didn't answer the phone, but walked out of the cabin directly. Everyone followed him curiously to see who it was.
After they came out, they saw someone standing on the dock whom they recognized: it was Chen Zetao's assistant Wang Lou, and there were two trucks following behind Wang Lou.
Xiao Peng extended his hand in greeting, then called out, "Chen Cheng! Chen Cheng!"
"Here I am!" Chen Cheng heard the call and ran out from the bow: "Boss, what's going on?"
Xiao Peng pointed at Wang Lou and said, "You should know Chen Zetao's assistant Wang Lou."
Chen Cheng didn't know how to answer this question.
He did know Wang Lou, but he never told Xiao Peng.
No one is stupid these days!
Chen Cheng nodded in acknowledgment.
Xiao Peng said, "Wang Lou brought the equipment needed for the transformation of the multi-beam acoustic scanner on the sailboat. Let Xiao Zhou and Duan Bo take people to move it down." After he made the arrangements, he got off the boat and greeted Wang Lou.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Chen said everything has been arranged for you!" Wang Lou said after seeing Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng looked around and asked, "How can we get the things out of here?"
Wang Lou said to the dock, "Did you see that cargo ship? It will go along the Dnieper River to Kiev. The goods will be transported from here to Kiev and then put on the plane to be taken away."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng hummed and said, "I hope there won't be any mistakes. Don't betray my trust!"
Wang Lou hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, please rest assured. Mr. Chen's vision is not that short-sighted!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "I know, I believe that the domestic vision is not that short-sighted."
Wang Lou asked curiously, "So, Mr. Xiao, where are the things? I'll send the boat over when they're ready!"
Xiao Peng said, "Please let the boat come over!"
After he finished speaking, he went straight back to the boat and personally operated the crane to lower the basket into the sea.
Then, in full view of everyone, he took off his coat and shoes and dived into the sea.
"Oh my god!" The height from the side of the ship to the sea surface was about five stories high. A group of people hurriedly leaned over the side of the ship to see what was happening. After seven or eight minutes, they finally saw Xiao Peng. He was holding the steel cable tied to the hanging basket and said, "Pull!"
Duan Bo, who was on the boat, hurried to the crane operating console and operated the crane to pull the basket to the surface of the water. Inside was an orange ball. Upon closer inspection, it was the self-inflating life raft on the boat. It had been opened but not inflated.
After the basket was pulled onto the boat, Pascal had already brought out dry clothes and towels and motioned Xiao Peng to dry himself and change his clothes.
After Wang Lou opened the package, several golden things appeared in front of him.
"Hiss." Everyone gasped after seeing what was inside.
Chen Cheng was shocked and asked, "Boss, is this Bayezid I's treasure?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Who knows? We didn't find the scepter, only these little gadgets. I'm going to bring them back home and 'lend' them to a museum for exhibition when the time is right. Fabian, Pascal, these treasures won't be included in the company's salvage records. I'm going to use this to help Fabian!"
Fabian nodded in shock.
Wang Lou was there taking photos and registering with his camera: "A silver-gilt jeweled crown, inlaid with a large ruby, thirty-seven small rubies, and twenty-six emeralds; a brass nameplate with the Arabic words 'God grants us strength, conquest is imminent, please tell this good news to the believers' on the front, and 'God is watching us' on the back; a gold bath bowl with a chrysanthemum pattern on the inner wall and a verbena pattern on the edge; a pair of brass rose incense bottles and brass incense burners; a gold, silver, and jade mirror inlaid with rubies; and a gold chain and diamond-encrusted female seal bag. It has the Arabic words 'Night Rose' on it. A total of six artifacts!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, that's all."
All these treasures were found by Xiao Peng at the bottom of the sea.
These things are really hard to find. They are scattered in different locations on the seabed where the Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of Marmara meet. This is where there are many submarine currents, and there is also a lot of mud and sand brought by the submarine currents. The salvage conditions there are basically the same as those in the river, which adds countless difficulties to Xiao Peng!
This kind of silt accumulates over time. For example, when the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was being built, the water depth was 32 meters, and the silt on the bottom was another 32 meters deep. The bridge piles had to be driven into the rock beneath the silt to secure them. The mud where these treasures were discovered is probably even thicker than the silt beneath the Yangtze River. Xiao Peng found a half-buried shipwreck, but without heavy equipment, he could only recover these few items.
But he is already very satisfied! Using these things to make Turkey uncomfortable is completely enough!
At least that stamp bag is enough to drive them crazy!
In the Ottoman Empire, the sultan's ring served as their seal, while people of higher status would use seal bags. "Night Rose" isn't actually the name of a flower, but rather the nickname of Bayezid I's wife!
How could an ordinary person possibly use a gold and diamond-studded seal bag?
A cargo ship sailed out of the harbor. Wang Lou waved to the cargo ship and a small boat came over.
After Wang Lou packed the things into a box and handed it to the person on the boat, he said to Xiao Peng, "Mr. Xiao, I've taken the things. You can contact Mr. Chen for follow-up matters."
Watching Wang Lou board the boat, Xiao Peng grinned and said to himself, "I've solved a problem. Damn it, why are you looking at me like that?"
After he saw Wang Lou off, he turned around and found everyone staring at him. Their eyes were filled with shock.
"Boss, how did you do it?" Chen Cheng asked the question that everyone was curious about.
Xiao Peng grinned: "Chen Cheng, did I ask you where you are from? Xiao Pa, Fabian, come on, let's go for a walk. Walter, you look too fierce, stay away from us!"
