Chapter 439 Treasures at the Bottom of the Sea
Everyone steadied themselves and could see clearly that what was thrown onto the boat was a box that was rusted and covered with seaweed.
The box was torn open by external force, and some golden objects could be seen inside.
Before Miao Jiu and his companions had time to take a closer look, their attention was attracted by a big bald head appearing on the sea surface.
The peregrine falcon flew to its big head, pecked it with its beak, and made a "chirp" sound again.
It was like saying that it was too reckless just now and almost hit someone.
Miao Jiu also saw clearly that the big head in the sea was a giant octopus with eight tentacles, and it was scratching its big head with one of its tentacle.
He could even see a hint of apology in his expression.
"Xiaojiu, what's going on with this octopus?" Old Man Miao was now confused.
"I don't know either. Let's wait and see. It doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us." Miao Jiu didn't have any worries in his heart.
How could Juanjuan’s good friend have any ill will towards them?
The octopus waited until they had adapted to itself, then extended a tentacle from the bottom of the sea with a box wrapped around it, and carefully handed it to the side of the boat.
The crew had never seen such a big octopus before, not to mention that this octopus had a box in its tentacles, as if it was going to hand it to them.
Now they don’t dare to answer it!
The situation became very embarrassing. The octopus stretched out its tentacles and wanted to hand the box to them, but the people on the boat didn't dare to take it.
The octopus's tentacles were feeling a little sore, and seeing that they hadn't moved for a long time, it could only shake its tentacles to remind them again.
"What are you still standing there for? Take the box." Miao Jiu ordered quickly.
The crew still didn't dare to move. Miao Long reached out and took the initiative to touch the box in his hand: "Come and help, I can't lift it by myself."
"Oh oh!" Although the crew members were scared, they had no choice but to go ahead.
After the two men had firmly grasped the box, the octopus finally released its tentacles.
The weight of the box almost caused the two men to fall onto the deck. The people next to them quickly lent a hand and finally the box was placed steadily on the deck.
The octopus saw them take the box and waved his tentacles happily.
Then several other tentacles stretched out of the water, each holding a lot of things, most of which were surrounded by seaweed, and it was impossible to tell what they were.
The crew found that the octopus really would not hurt them, so they bravely reached out and took the box it handed over.
The octopus was pleased to see that they didn't keep him waiting too long this time.
After giving away all the boxes in its hands, it plunged into the sea again.
Miao Jiu looked at Peregrine Falcon: "Anything else?"
Peregrine nodded to indicate that he had more.
Miao Jiu said he understood: "Open these boxes and take a look."
"Yes, Master Jiu." Miao Long asked someone to find tools to open the rusty box.
The crew worked together to pry open the box and were shocked by the items inside. They rubbed their eyes hard and some even pinched their thighs.
The box is full of gold coins, and even though it sank into the sea, it still shines brightly.
Miao Jiu looked at the crew members calmly: "Don't make a fuss, there will be rewards when we return today."
He changed the subject with a stern tone, "Keep what happened today to yourself, or I'll make you realize that death is a luxury."
"Master Jiu, we must keep our mouths shut." The crew members promised one by one.
"Miao Long, count all the items and register them." Miao Jiu gave the order directly.
After a while, the big octopus came again, still holding something in each tentacle. It handed it to them and then left.
This was repeated many times until their boat was almost full and would sink if they added more, and only then did they stop the transportation.
The giant octopus was kind enough to send them back to the dock, waved goodbye to them, and then dived into the sea and disappeared.
Old man Miao felt like he was dreaming tonight. It was all too incredible.
"Old man, go call the Governor's Mansion and ask Sima Ming to send a car to take the things back." Miao Jiu turned and looked at Old Man Miao.
"Okay, I'll go now." Old Man Miao immediately made a phone call.
Siming received the call before dawn. He didn't expect it to come so soon.
Call the Governor's Office directly and ask Adjutant Qi to send someone to drive to the dock to pick up the things.
He also drove to the dock himself, and when he saw these things, he became a little uneasy.
These things are all gold coins, a whole ship full of gold coins.
Miao Jiu walked up to him, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I'm your brother-in-law, I'm awesome!"
"Are you sure you are the best?" Si Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Miao Jiu lowered his voice: "My daughter is amazing!"
Sima Ming smiled and curled the corners of his lips, but ignored him and asked people to take all the gold coins to Cuiyu Tower for smelting.
Adjutant Qi watched the registration from the side, and Si Tian and Si Gu also arrived in the middle of the night.
"Brother-in-law, so many gold coins?" Si Tian's eyes widened.
Although the Si family is not short of money now, it is still hard not to be shocked when so much gold is placed in front of them.
"I think these things are just a drop in the bucket in the ocean." Miao Jiu saw that the giant octopus didn't spend too much time moving them back and forth.
"But our capabilities are limited now. It is impossible to complete the salvage work manually." Si Tian sighed.
If they could artificially salvage treasures from the seabed, they would probably be as rich as a country.
"People should not be too greedy. These are all unexpected surprises for us now." Siming thought very clearly.
If it weren't for Juanjuan's help, they would have no way of accumulating so much wealth in such a short period of time.
Beiyang City is no longer a soft persimmon that anyone can bully.
With the help of Jiang Wang, the new weapons made by several children have solved the problems they encountered.
It has now been taken to the valley by Jiang Wang for further improvement and production.
Xiang Yutang also helped them improve and increase the magnification of the telescope.
Allows guns to be seen farther, more clearly, and aimed more accurately.
"Brother, this amount of gold is far more than what we need to buy ammunition. Do you need to buy anything else?"
Siming thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Since we have reached a consensus with the surrounding warlords, I will first ask them if they need to buy planes."
"We can help him buy them and let them come and learn. I also want to increase the number of aircraft. They will be very useful for future material transportation and military defense."
"Brother, since you said so, I also have a suggestion." Si Gu thought for a while.
"You say." Siming looked at him.
"We can build a few more airports and runways, and not put everything in one place." Si Gu put forward his own opinion.
"I have the same idea. You should handle this matter." Si Ming looked at him and said.
