: 6 Spanish Galleon

Now in the sea of ​​pregnant Haizhu space has become vibrant.
Groups of barracudas and tuna are densely packed.
The thorns are quietly hidden on the sandy beach.
Cormorant grouper swims around the coral reef.
Cormorant turtles are eating seaweed.
Dozens of dolphins cooperated to prey on tuna prepared in groups, and were eating a full meal.
For the sake of insurance, Chen Rui did not put more advanced creatures than the speartail food chain in the pregnant sea pearl space ocean. In case a shark is put to eat the speartail, it will be a tragedy.
Therefore, for a moment, one male and one female speartail became predators in this area.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of Chen Rui's eyes, lying quietly on the sandy beach like a giant.
锐 Chen Rui was excited for a while, and accelerated to swim past.
Swim near, and found that it was a huge hull wreck, a mottled hull, a rusty hinge, a crooked mast, and a cannon buried in the sand. It was silently describing the tragic encounter of the ship. The dark seawater has been immersed for hundreds of years.
A small part of the hull of the ship was buried in the sand, and the deck and the cabin were partially exposed.
This is a mediterranean sailing ship. It was one of the two most common sailing ships in Spain before the Spanish sailing ship appeared.
This kind of ship is a small and light commercial ship with a spinnaker. It is exactly two such Mediterranean sailing ships, accompanied by the larger Virgin Mary, completed the adventure of discovering the new continent of America in 1492. They became the most common adventure ships.
The disgraced Chen Rui was disappointed that the ship's plates were scattered scattered on the bottom of the sea, and there was a large hole on the side of the ship. The cut of the hole was very flat, and the bunker where the supplies were stored was empty.
Obviously, other treasure hunters have already arrived first, and nothing valuable is left on the boat.
I just think about it, it feels normal.
This area of ​​the sea is the world's famous 'Jumbo Tomb'.
For hundreds of years, there are not a few treasure hunters who come here for treasure hunts. There is such a prominent sunken ship on the bottom of the sea that it has not been covered by mud and sand.
锐 Chen Rui looked for a while in the bunker.
I harvested a few Spanish double-pillar silver rounds. It is estimated that they were left by the sailors on the ship, which were missed by the treasure hunters who had previously boarded.
The Spanish double-pillar silver circle was the Spanish conquest of Mexico from 1519 to 1521, and then a large silver mine was discovered. A large number of 'double pillars' were cast in situ in 1732. In addition,
The Spanish colonies Chile, Bolivia, Columbi, Guatemala, Venezuela, Peru, etc. also cast the 'double pillars'.
The value of these two ‘double-pillar’ silver dollars is between 600 and 1,000, which is also better than nothing.
After leaving the shipwreck, Chen Rui continued to search on the ocean floor.
Twenty-two months later, Chen Rui had searched most of the previously delimited sea area.
The sunken ship found a few.
Either he has already been boarded.
Either it is not of much value, just find some sailors on board carrying Spanish gold and silver coins, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, and silver tableware for dining.
In Chen Dong's view, this is normal.
Not all merchant ships in Spain are full of gold and silver jewellery. Most of the merchant ships carry slaves from Spain and coffee, cane sugar and other goods from South America.
只有 Only a small part of it is a treasure ship full of gold and silver jewels plundered from South America.
I found a treasure ship full of gold and silver jewellery, which was not first boarded. It was a big luck, worth at least hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Treasure hunting requires patience, especially underwater treasure hunting needs patience.
Treasure hunting is like searching for oil. It takes a lot of time, energy and financial resources, but it may not be rewarding.
Luck is very important.
With this in mind, Chen Rui was already prepared.
It is normal for a treasure hunter or treasure hunter to spend ten or even decades searching for a shipwreck.
For example, Odyssey spent a full 12 years before finding the first valuable shipwreck, the SSRepublic.
Mel Fei Xuehua found the 'Mrs. Atoka' shipwreck for 30 years.
However, more treasure hunters spend ten or even decades of time and energy, and hundreds or millions of funds have not gained anything.
Chen Rui is planning to spend half a year searching for this area.
On this day, Chen Rui searched the sea floor as usual, and was meticulous. As long as he saw something that was not a stone, he would use a metal detector to detect it.
At this time, Chen Rui has dived to the bottom of the water at a depth of more than 200 meters, and the ultimate depth of ordinary submarines is 300 ~ 400 meters.
Huge water pressure can crush a person.
In addition to underwater detection robots, divers can't dive to this depth while wearing compression suits.
With the watershed decision plus the turtle's decision decided to transform into a transformed body.
Although Chen Rui felt a little pressure on the seabed more than 200 meters, it was almost negligible for Chen Rui, and it did not have much impact on Chen Rui ’s seabed search work.
At the bottom of the sea more than 200 meters, there is only a trace of light, very dark, the water is cold, the surroundings are quiet, and the silence is a bit strange.
锐 Chen Rui was wearing a waterproof mining light, UU reading www.uukanshu.com holding a metal detector in his hand.
Walking in the sand and stones on the sea floor is just like walking on flat land.
‘嘀嘀 ~. ’
The metal detector rang.
锐 Chen Rui was shocked, and his face was happy.
No matter who repeats a job over and over 200 meters deep and in the cold and dark sea bottom, anyone will feel bored for months.
听到 Now, after hearing the sound of ‘嘀嘀’ from the metal detector, just like Xian Le, it shocked Chen Rui ’s spirit.
锐 Chen Rui squatted down, digging the sand with his hand, and the first part of the ship's chord was exposed.
发现 The discovery immediately surprised Chen Rui.
The next discovery made Chen Rui even more excited.
It has a high bow, a high aft building, a low foredeck, and a flat stern. There is a protrusion at the bow, just like the angle of impact of an oar rowing, where there is an independent gun position.
The hull has a clear equilateral trapezoid (the sides of the hull are inclined from bottom to top and inward) and this extends to the aft.
The ratio of length to width is 4: 1.
This is a typical characteristic of a Spanish galleon.
The towering bow and stern deck, when two ships are stuck side by side during a war, have the advantage of being easy to board enemy ships.
The ratio of length to width of 4: 1 makes Spanish galleons and other contemporary sailing ships, such as Clark sailing ships, more dominant in speed.
