: 4 Shipwreck Treasure

After the ‘Water Margin’ Xiaocheng, Chen Rui felt like a fish in the sea. Swimming was just like his natural instinct, and he could easily and freely move in the water. As long as you gently flick your arms, your body is like a bow and arrow. People have appeared dozens of meters away.
After swimming back to the shore, standing on the reef, Chen Rui looked at the endless sea in front of her, and suddenly a thought came to Chen Rui's heart.
I remember watching a documentary about the treasures of sunken ships on the sea before.
According to UNESCO statistics, there are about 3 million wrecks of undiscovered shipwrecks in the world's oceans, although most are of limited value.
However, according to previous experts, there are more than 3,000 shipwrecks carrying gold and silver treasures on the bottom of the sea, and there are still more sunken ships. Although not loaded with gold and silver treasures, their cargoes are also extremely precious today, including ivory and porcelain .
The sunken ship was kept in an airless environment in the ocean, and part of the cargo lying in deep water was kept intact.
For example, in the coastal waters of China and the South China Sea, the three generations of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, China's maritime trade flourished. At that time, the main items of trade between China and the West were silk, tea, and porcelain. According to estimates, there are 2,000 to 3,000 shipwrecks, most of which are ancient Chinese exquisite porcelain. Experts say that these shipwrecks constitute a 'seabed porcelain capital'.
In the Persian Gulf, from the 8th century to the era of great navigation, during this period, the prosperous maritime trade brought endless wealth to the Arabs, and left countless sunken ships in the Persian Gulf.
Since the Arabs were good at changing hands, they sold western luxury goods to the east, and then sold oriental spices and porcelain to the west, so there were many treasures on the shipwreck. These treasures included porcelain from the east and gold from the west. Silver artwork, ivory, etc.
In addition to the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf, there are also the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean off the Iberian Peninsula, the British Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Caribbean Sea. These seas have sunk a large number of shipwrecks.
These wrecks include merchant ships, treasure ships and pirate ships.
The treasures in the sunken ship include gold, silver, jewelry, gold and silver art, ivory, porcelain and so on.
只有 Only a small part of these mysterious treasures were discovered by the explorers, and most of them remained in a corner of the ocean floor, attracting treasure hunters, archaeologists and so on.
Most of the time, the shipwreck treasure looks like a legend, until the explorer fishes these myths from the ocean floor and turns them into real, mountain-like gold coins.
Treasure hunters around the world are not only pirates and marine exploration companies, but individuals, families and even families.
For example, the "treasure hunter" Mel Fisher and his family launched a search together. On July 20, 1985, they found the "Mrs. Atoka". This sunken ship, known as the largest treasure under the sea, had 40 tons of treasure, including gold 8 tons, 500 kilograms of gems, worth 400 million US dollars.
Of course, the Mel Fisher is a very lucky family. Most treasure hunters or marine exploration companies have found nothing.
The treasure hunt on the sea floor was supposed to be an adventure full of hormones, mysterious maps and conspiracies.
It is very difficult to find the location of the shipwreck. From research to exploration, it is a huge task.
For example, the Odyssey company searched for the "Republic", first collected literature, and then analyzed the passing of the "Republic" shipwreck, using a computer to simulate the line and speed of the year. Eventually, the wreckage of the shipwreck was locked within 1,500 miles.
1500 miles-just combing such a large expanse of the ocean floor with sonar has to be a huge task.
For Chen Rui, it is relatively simple to find the location of the sunken ship on the bottom of the sea.
Moreover, from research, search, exploration to salvage, the most difficult step is the most costly step.
The simplest example, JasonII, a deep-sea operation robot, requires 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and the price of more advanced deep-sea operation robots has doubled by now.
There is also a large underwater excavation robot which is more expensive.
After all, machines are not humans. During the salvage process, some valuable and fragile items, such as porcelain, can be accidentally damaged.
One more thing, no matter what kind of texture utensils, long-term immersion in seawater will generally have an adverse impact on its protection. Except for gold products, which are more resistant to corrosion, materials such as silver, copper, iron, and tin are generally severely affected. Many metal relics have a fresh section when they are just out of the water, but they are oxidized quickly after contacting the air and eventually become Powdery.
Also, once the porcelain itself is out of the environment surrounded by sea water, after being exposed to the air for a long time and dried, the salt that has already entered the body will continue to precipitate out of it, causing the glaze layer to crack and cause peeling from the carcass.
However, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Chen Rui has pregnant sea beads, these are not a problem, and the treasure is directly collected into pregnant sea beads for preservation.
Water Divide + Water Margin gave Chen Rui great convenience in searching for the sunken ship.
The pregnant sea pearl brought great convenience to Chen Rui's salvage and preservation of treasures.
Think of it here! Chen Rui's idea of ​​treasure hunt under the sea is even more urgent.
The next day, Chen Rui stayed in the rented hotel and didn't go out.
The treasure hunt on the sea floor is divided into three steps.
Research, search, exploration, salvage.
锐 Chen Rui wants to search for treasures under the sea first from research.
Search for some information about the shipwreck, mouth-to-mouth stories of fishermen, and log books.
In fact, there is no need to search for it. Now that Zi Xun is so developed, as long as you search on your computer and enter the underwater treasure + Caribbean, or the sunken ship + South China Sea, you can find countless pieces of information about this.
But it is also limited to this. More detailed information cannot be obtained by Chen Rui's current ability.
I searched on the Internet and Chen Rui quickly locked in the Caribbean.
To say the legend of the treasure at sea, the first thought in people's minds is definitely the Caribbean Sea.
During the colonial era, the gold plundered by Spain and Portugal from Central and South America needed to be returned to Europe through the Baltic Sea, so this sea area was also one of the busiest sea areas at the time. In addition to the merchant ships and official ships, there are also a large number of pirate ships robbery. This has also made the Caribbean the region with the most frequent man-made wrecks.
