Chapter 514: Digging and Digging in the Deep Sea
Ye Qing said: "We are not here to salvage directly this time, let's take a look at the situation first."
"Don't go too deep, don't take risks."
Hei Zai said, "We've already come down. Is there any danger in this place?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's time for lunch soon."
"Go upstairs and have lunch later, then come down to work after you're full."
Everyone laughed.
When we first arrived at the bottom of the sea about 200 meters deep, we were a little nervous and hesitant.
Although these specialized equipment allow them to move freely on the seabed, if there is any problem with the equipment, they will be dead at such a deep place.
The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, so Ye Qing would make jokes to ease everyone's mood a little.
Kangzi was rubbing his hands excitedly. He seemed to have seen the scene of himself counting silver coins until his hands cramped.
Everyone else had similar ideas, all fantasizing about picking up money crazily at the bottom of the sea.
They came to the boat.
Kangzi stepped on something and heard a cracking sound. He then lowered his head and vaguely saw some white. He thought he had found a silver coin, so he excitedly reached out to dig up the mud and sand on the seabed under his feet, and a skeleton was revealed.
The skeleton's ribs had been broken by him, but the skull was still intact.
Kangzi was startled.
When the others saw his reaction, they quickly gathered around and saw that it was a skeleton. They searched around but didn't find a single silver coin.
Kangzi cursed, "You scared me! I didn't expect you to be such a poor fellow."
After saying this, he squatted down and covered the skull with mud and sand to bury it, and then hurried to catch up with everyone.
Most of the shipwreck is still buried in the mud and sand, and it is not known whether it is the bow or the stern.
If you want to get in, you have to destroy the cabin.
Heizi used the robotic arm to control the tool and tried to poke a piece of wood.
The wood was easily punctured and had long since decayed under the influence of sea water.
Then the problem arises. It is easy for them to destroy the cabin, but if it causes a chain reaction and the entire ship collapses when they go in to explore, they are likely to be buried inside.
If any damage were done to their equipment, they would have to stay and accompany the sinking ship.
The equipment they wear is very heavy. Normal exploration is already very strenuous for them. If they have to bear more burdens, it will be very dangerous.
Kangzi asked, "What should Qingzi do now? What should he do?"
Ye Qing said: "Let's explore the surroundings first."
"See if you can find a better breakthrough."
Everyone responded.
They went in pairs and explored separately. After searching for a while, Heizi actually found a crack.
The crack is covered by mud and sand.
Hei Zai is also lucky.
He found a skull with a silver bracelet on it.
Judging from the condition of these skeletons, the people on this ship should be foreigners, and there is no respect for these foreign skeletons.
He roughly dug the skeleton out of the mud and sand, intending to search it, but the skeleton happened to be in the crack of the cabin.
He called everyone over and said that the crack in the cabin was quite big and might be the cause of the shipwreck.
After digging with shovels for a while, more shipwrecks were revealed. Through the cracks, we could see that the interior of the cabin was covered with mud and sand.
If you want to enter the cabin, you have to dig out the mud and sand.
Ye Qing said, "Let's go up and have a full meal first, then come down and dig the soil."
Everyone nodded.
Back on the boat, Ye Qing cooked the meal himself and everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal.
Those who could have eaten one bowl of rice ate two bowls.
After dinner, we rested for another hour. Everyone was in the best condition and ready to go to sea again.
There's nothing much to say when we get to the bottom of the sea. We just use the robotic arm to grab the shovel and start digging.
After digging for half an hour, someone else takes over.
Digging and digging in the vast seabed.
Everyone is very motivated.
Even if they were exhausted and gasping for breath after digging for a while, no one felt tired.
This is with the help of a robotic arm. If there were no robotic arm, it would be impossible to dig by relying solely on their own strength.
Two hours later, most of the mud and sand in the cabin had been cleared, revealing many wooden boxes.
Seeing these wooden boxes, everyone's breathing became much faster.
Kangzi couldn't wait to open a wooden box. The box was sealed intact, but it was soaked in sea water so the contents inside were clearly visible.
It reflects light, it's porcelain!
nice one!
He subconsciously reached out to touch it, but the mechanical arm was too powerful and he couldn't control it well, so the porcelain shattered.
Kangzi was so heartbroken.
Hei Zai said, "Be careful."
"This thing is very brittle and breaks easily."
"I don't recommend that we salvage these things."
“Although it can be sold for a good price, it will be a bit troublesome.”
Ye Qing said: "Heizi is right."
"Everyone, be careful when you open the wooden box."
"Try not to touch these porcelains. They are not our target."
Not only is the porcelain difficult to sell, but they now have no safe means of transportation.
If we really want to force the porcelain to be transported upstream, it will probably be difficult to reach the ship safely.
Nine out of ten will be destroyed.
These porcelains are all treasures. If one is destroyed, it will be a loss.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let these porcelains stay safely in the shipwreck.
Wait until later.
It’s not too late to get professional salvage equipment and organize manpower to carry out the salvage.
Kangzi nodded to show that he understood, and the others also went to open the other wooden boxes.
The box was easily opened by using a robotic arm to twist off the rusty lock.
As a result, when all the boxes were opened, they contained either porcelain or porcelain fragments.
Most of the porcelain was damaged, probably caused by the collision during the shipwreck. Even the seemingly intact surfaces had some cracks and corrosion pits.
There are also several bronze statues.
The bronze statue has been corroded so much that it is no longer recognizable.
These things are hard to sell.
Ye Qing said: "Keep looking."
Soon another warehouse was dug out, and there were also many boxes inside.
Open it and take a look.
It's all a tragedy!
And most of these cups have been broken into pieces.
It's really quite tragic.
Kangzai people are numb, which is quite appropriate.
Mainly because I'm too tired.
Even with the assistance of robotic arms, they still have to drag so much equipment into the sea to dig mud and sand.
If they hadn't thought about digging up treasures, they would have given up long ago.
Ye Qing sighed: "Go on."
He sensed that there were several cargo holds ahead, and each hold contained wooden boxes.
But he couldn't feel what was inside the wooden box.
If all that stuff is inside, then their trip would probably be in vain.
Even if he returns empty-handed in the end, it is not a complete loss. He can draw a treasure map, find a message in a bottle and throw it away, so that someone with a destiny can come here to salvage the treasure.
With this optimistic attitude, we continued to dig mud and sand.
After digging two more warehouses, they arrived at the fifth warehouse.
When we opened the last warehouse, we found quite a lot of wooden boxes, but when we opened them, we found they were all filled with rags.
This should be domestic silk.
This thing was a hot commodity abroad at the time and was very valuable, but now it is nothing.
Everyone was dejected.
The entire warehouse had been searched, and all that was found were either porcelain, cups, or bronze statues.
They didn't even find a single silver or gold coin they wanted to salvage.
Kangzi gritted his teeth and said, "If all else fails, let's take some of these bronze statues away."
After saying this, he grabbed a bronze statue.
The robotic arm picked up the bronze statue, but all the weight was on Kangzi.
With a "bang", Kangzi couldn't even take a step and had to throw the bronze statue back.
If you want to take these bronze statues away, you have to find another way.
Everyone watching is emo.
Ye Qing frowned and looked away.
A warehouse is definitely a place where goods are stored. These goods were valuable items in those days, and now they can be described as national treasures.
But these cargoes are not the only treasures on the shipwreck.
He said, "Never mind the stuff in the warehouse."
"We can explore the other cabins."
"Come with me."
