Chen Hong took out a steel rod from her spatial storage and started tapping and banging on the deck. The grouper, squid, and cuttlefish in the cabin all rushed out in a frenzy.
With the help of a metal detector, Chen Hong found dozens of boxes of gold and silver artifacts.
After a whole day of going in and out, she had almost completely dismantled the shipwreck before she was able to pack up all the cargo hold contents.
If it weren't for the scattered remains in the cabin, she would have cleaned up the 30-meter-long iron wrecked ship and stored it in her space.
After washing away the mud and sand, it can be sold as scrap metal and fetch several thousand yuan.
But these are the remains of Japanese invaders. Chen Hong didn't want them to pollute her space, so she decided to leave them to decompose slowly on the seabed and become nutrients for marine life.
The ship contained a wide variety of items, including gold, silver, porcelain, pearls, and precious stones.
There were more than two hundred boxes in total, all bearing prominent symbols of ancient Chinese culture, clearly looted during the invasion of China.
I don't know how it ended up on this route and sank in this area of the sea.
Could it be that the Dragon King of the East Sea intervened and spared these bandits, forcing them to sacrifice themselves and their goods here?
Finally, Chen Hong figured out the origin of the ship; it turned out to be the treasure ship of the famous Osaka Division.
As for where they came from and where they were going, Chen Hong really didn't understand.
Chen Hong noted down the coordinates, planning to come back and carefully search the skeleton for its personal belongings the next time she planted coral.
The Japanese devils are cunning; they're all insatiable. Chen Hong believed they must all have their own secret stashes.
Now that it was time to return home with her son as agreed, she dared not disappear again.
I could only leave reluctantly, keeping this place as my spot for planting coral. It's more interesting to have unexpected surprises every time I dive, isn't it?
After selling the fish at home and spending time with my son, I took care of all the household chores.
Chen Hong calmed down and went into her space to carefully examine the valuables.
More than twenty boxes of silk had been soaked in seawater, their colors blurred, and they were so fragile that they could not be pulled apart by hand and were completely unusable.
Even if Chen Hong could use it, she wouldn't dare. She had been soaking in the remains of Japanese soldiers for so many years; just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.
Some of the calligraphy and paintings were soaked in seawater and turned into pulp. There were also more than a dozen boxes wrapped in several layers of tarpaulin for waterproofing, with an iron box on the outside and a wooden box on the outside. They were well preserved.
Chen Hong only opened one box, looked at it, then sealed it up and stored it in her storage space.
She had heard that these antique paintings and calligraphy works could be affected by temperature and air, and would be damaged if not stored properly. She didn't know how to store them, so she felt that sealing them in an airtight container was the safest option.
The gold and silver were not corroded much and still shone brightly. However, judging from their purity, they were not as bright as the gold and silver jewelry in gold shops today.
There were dozens of boxes of porcelain that looked old at first glance, covered with mud, grass, and stains.
Chen Hong cleaned the two thoroughly, revealing their original smooth and lustrous appearance, which did not affect their use or appearance.
However, most of the porcelain pieces were broken, which Chen Hong found very regrettable!
They were probably much more precious than gold, yet they were looted by the Japanese.
It is said that some rare porcelain pieces, even the broken pieces, have high research value. Chen Hong sealed them all up, not even throwing away a single broken piece.
Chen Hong did not touch the guns, knives, and other weapons in the sunken Japanese ship. These things could not be used, nor could they be sold for money. Exposing them would easily cause trouble.
She wasn't going to cause trouble for no reason! However, Chen Hong put seven or eight boxes of metal artifacts that looked like ancient bronzes into her spatial storage and brought them back.
Chen Hong was an ordinary person in both her past and present lives, and knew nothing about antiques and cultural relics.
However, if the Japanese would go to such lengths to transport these goods back to their homeland, they must be of high quality.
She cleaned everything up, sorted it, packed it into boxes, and sealed it away. She didn't know how to protect and care for antiques and artifacts herself, but the space she had ensured that they would never deteriorate.
Chen Hong decided to store all the shipwrecked valuables in her spatial storage and not to sell or use them.
Once we have the opportunity to find reliable acquaintances to complete the identification in batches, we will slowly let them see the light of day again.
These things must not be made public in the next few years. As for whether they will be donated or used to build an exhibition hall, we'll leave that for later.
Her child is still young, and she herself is still developing. In any case, they can only wait until they are able to protect themselves.
If she were to be forcibly taken or donated by someone else, she might as well enjoy it herself in her own space!
Sigh! Zhou Yi has disappeared without a trace. It's been half a month since then. Is he safe? Did he complete his mission?
She would occasionally think of her boyfriend for five minutes, but when that didn't lead to anything, she would immediately let it go.
After leaving the space, Chen Hong took a thorough shower, did her pre-sleep exercise, and then went to bed to rest.
The next day, I received a call from my father, who said that he was free at the moment and was going to renovate her house in Jinan.
The mother and daughter would have a place to stay when they returned to Jinan. Chen Hong thought it was a good idea, since her father could stay there for a few days at a time.
It's a waste to leave it lying around. Once it's renovated, the family can stay there comfortably from time to time, and it can also give Dad some work to do so he can earn some pocket money.
Chen Hong sent her father 100,000 yuan to buy materials, hire workers, and finally buy matching furniture. This amount of money was not enough, but it wasn't too far off either.
No one lives here permanently, so the quality can be just average or slightly better. There's no need to spend too much money or make it too luxurious. Anyway, it's more comfortable and convenient than staying in a hotel.
