Chen Rui left the cargo ship Santa Maria Formosa in a speedboat.
Began searching for Atlantis, which sank under the sea.
Chen Rui stopped the speedboat in a sea.
Chen Rui dived into the sea.
The water is deep, 2,300 meters, the visibility is very low, only a trace of light, the water is very cold.
The water pressure was very high, and Chen Rui felt a little pressure. But for Chen Rui, this pressure is almost negligible.
But if you change to an ordinary person. Located at the bottom of the sea at 2,300 meters, huge water pressure has long squashed people.
Chen Rui was wearing a waterproof mining lamp and a metal detector in his hand.
Walking in the sand and gravel on the sea floor, like walking on flat ground. Walk freely.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Chen Rui's eyes, and the black image giant was lying quietly on the seabed.
Chen Rui was shocked and swam over.
Swim near, Chen Rui discovered that it was a huge wreckage, mottled hull, rusty, crooked mast, and was silently describing the tragic experience of the ship.
The ship has been immersed in the cold, dark water for hundreds of years.
A small half of the hull was buried in the sand. Deck, most of the cabins are exposed.
This is a steam ship with huge paddle wheels on both sides. The shell of the ship is iron.
This is a steamship.
Power, steam engine, propelled by huge paddle wheels installed on both sides, the shell is iron, Chen Rui can speculate that this is a ship from the early 19th century to the middle of the 19th century.
because. Before the 19th century, humans had always used wooden sailboats as a means of water transportation. After the mid-19th century, propellers replaced paddle wheels for power propulsion.
This is a British transport ship.
Chen Rui saw a string of English letters on the side of the ship. Although the English letters were covered by rust.
However, Chen Rui could still faintly recognize the 'Ghersopa'.
From the early 19th century to the middle of the 19th century, there were a few English-speaking countries.
USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada.
Sinking in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, 500 nautical miles east of the Azores, and 600 nautical miles west of the Western Sahara, there is only one possibility, the British transport ship.
Chen Rui swam into the cabin.
A spot where items were scattered in the cabin.
Porcelain, bronze, some gold and silver coins, silver tableware, decorations.
Of course, there may be other items, but the 'Gelsopa' is not like the 'Lucky Star'. The Spanish 'Lucky Star' is buried in the sand. It is isolated from the corrosion of air and sea water for a long time. The items are very good. Survived.
Most of the deck and cabin of the 'Gelsoppa' are exposed to seawater. Except for porcelain and metal items, other items have been immersed in the seawater for nearly 200 years and it is difficult to preserve them.
Chen Rui can speculate that the 'Gelsoppa' originated in China and reached the United Kingdom around Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
From the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 19th century, the Suez Canal was not built for navigation. Ships arriving in Europe from China or India could only reach the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and reach the North Atlantic Ocean.
"Ghersopa" is carrying Chinese cultural relics.
These Chinese cultural relics are looted, acquired, or so-called 'archaeological discoveries'.
Chen Rui doesn't want to guess, these are meaningless.
Among these Chinese cultural relics, bronze wares account for the majority, and porcelain, gold and silver coins, silver tableware, decorations and the like account for only a small part.
Chen Rui put these items into the pregnant Haizhu space.
Chen Rui continued to search in the cabin.
A sealed box was found in the captain's room.
After searching, confirm that nothing is missing.
Chen Rui enters Zhuhai Space.
Checked the harvest.
Porcelain is small, but there are many fine products. The most worthy of Chen Rui's attention is a bowl.
The carcass of the bowl is very thin, the glaze layer is very thick, and it has a jade-like texture. The glaze has very fine openings.
This is a Ru kiln porcelain, it should be called Song Ru kiln sky blue glaze bowl.
Chen Rui took a closer look ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The texture of the glazed openings was slick, which was crab claws.
There are nails at the bottom of the bowl, the size of sesame seeds.
Chen Rui can be sure that the bowl in his hand is a real Ru ware porcelain.
According to Chen Rui's knowledge, Ru Yao's handed down works are few and far less than a hundred pieces, so the value is not cheap.
The Song Ru Kiln Celestial Glaze Bowl is very well preserved and exquisite in craftsmanship. Once born, it is enough to cause a sensation in the antique circle.
Tens of millions of shots, even hundreds of millions.
Gold and silver coins, a small amount, have a certain collection value.
If you want to sell, these gold and silver coins are worth between 1,000 and 20,000 US dollars.
Bronze wares account for the vast majority.
