“I’m so tired!”
After digging out this pile of gold bars, Yin Suya slumped against the rock wall and spoke weakly on the radio.
It is said that two hundred kilograms of rice cannot be carried, but two hundred kilograms of gold can be carried into the air. But what if two hundred kilograms is converted into two tons, four tons, or eight tons?
Forgive me, I regard money as dirt.
"Senior, you go up and rest first. Cecilia and I will be downstairs."
Xia Yu was not tired at all. He had a buff in the sea, not to mention the mechanical maid. They could dig for three days and three nights without a break.
Yin Suya didn't try to hold on, and Xia Yu sent her to the life raft on the sea to rest. He then came down and started working again when he was free.
Without the senior student around, the two of them became even more efficient. After dealing with the accumulated mud and sand, the gold underneath was exposed. They didn't even need to put it in a sack. They just waved their hands and put it into the storage space.
The piles of gold bars were all packed in wooden boxes, but due to the corrosion of sea water, only the rusty copper bars that bound the boxes remained.
Each gold bar weighs about two kilograms, and each box contains about half a ton of gold bars. They have already cleared out ten stacks, which is more than five tons of gold.
The harvest this time is not small. America is indeed a rich place. The land is suitable for planting and the mineral resources are quite abundant. The Aztecs were able to accumulate such a huge wealth five hundred years ago.
Even though it was snatched away by the Spanish colonists, isn’t it Xia Yu who has picked up the peach now?
Continuing to dig, they found about sixteen piles of gold bars and large gold sculptures. Digging deeper, they found a lot of round objects.
Aztec gold coins are not as exquisite as those in the movies, and there is no skull symbolizing curse. The person engraved on them should be their king?
Xia Yu put these gold coins into the space. They will serve as embellishments and decorate his Golden Hall together with gold coins from other civilizations.
There were obviously not as many gold coins as gold bars. After digging six piles, new things appeared, including a gold necklace inlaid with red and green gems, a gold mask used for sacrifice, and a pure gold scabbard, but the knife was nowhere to be found.
These should be gold objects that have not had time to be melted into gold bars, so the quantity will be less than gold coins and gold bars.
They can be kept as part of the historical record, and Xia Yu also put them into the space.
Cecilia continued to suck sand, but as she was sucking, she hit the rock wall.
This cave ends here, which means this is all the Aztec treasure left.
After using Xia Yu's shallow stratigraphic profiler to scan it again and confirm that there was nothing left, all the harvest this time was piled up in the space and at the entrance of the cave.
It is basically made of gold, and even if there are gems, they are decorative stones inlaid on gold.
Those large gems were probably brought back to their homeland by the colonists because of their high value and ease of portability, and they became part of the circulation system. In any case, there wasn't a single gem left on the ground.
This is not a big deal. The main reason is that the construction of the Golden Hall lacks building materials and decorations of historical value. He is not in a hurry to build the Gem Hall for the time being.
"Let's go, let's go back first."
Xia Yu called Cecilia back.
After hollowing out the entire cave, it was time for them to go back. Even if they dug out and transported these more than ten tons of gold in one day, it was not realistic, so they had to stay here for another day.
A shipment of gold was sent back to the submarine, filling the torpedo tubes to the brim.
Cecilia came into the cabin from the outside and took out the gold bars with Feng Manxue. The hydraulic equipment that was originally used to turn the torpedo came in handy at this time, saving a lot of effort.
Xia Yu returned to the treasure hiding place and floated to the surface of the sea to pick up his senior sister.
"Finished? So quickly?"
Yin Suya had just recovered and was a little surprised at their speed.
"No, we've shipped quite a lot of goods. We'll have to wait until at least tomorrow to finish shipping them all."
"Oh? How many do you think there are?"
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Yin Suya's emotions were also aroused.
"It's okay if there are only a few gold bars. If there are more, it will be the international gold price. But later on, we also unearthed a lot of antique gold coins and antique gold artifacts. If you take into account the historical value, it's almost as much as the box office of one of our movies."
"Gulp~~"
Yin Suya couldn't help swallowing.
Their movie just finished theaters, and the total box office data is out, a total of 5.3 billion, but how many people will get a share of it?
Now, they have found a treasure worth nearly 10 billion US dollars. This is too much!
It's a bit cruel. Such a huge sum of money would require Xia Yu to sign for two months based on his current salary. The only way to make more profit than this is to go public and cash out the shares.
Net worth is a reflection of one’s strength, but it does not mean that one can come up with so much money.
Xia Yu's financial security is due to the system, otherwise he would have insisted on not listing several technology companies, and his cash flow would have been very tight.
"That's why it's easier for rich people to make money than ordinary people. All those professional treasure hunters are worth hundreds of millions. It's hard to find a bargain without talent."
Xia Yu sighed.
Collecting information about treasure not only takes time and effort, but also costs a lot of money. The system helps him save this step.
Otherwise, it would be uneconomical for him to come alone.
Billions of dollars can be earned by simply expanding the business anywhere, but treasure hunting is mainly about experiencing the fun of exploration and discovery.
"So what are you going to do with all this gold?"
Yin Suya finally asked this crucial question.
She had never thought about finding treasure before, so she hadn't considered it, but now it was no longer possible, she had to ask.
"I can't possibly sell it. Senior, how about we each take half?"
"I don't want it. You were the one who found it. I didn't do anything. Just give me two gold coins as a souvenir."
Although Xia Yu was generous, Yin Suya couldn't just accept it. Moreover, she had already received such a precious gift and couldn't be greedy anymore.
