"You...the ghost ship!"
After the rain and fine weather, after the Victor and Wu Ming, the seafarers and Vidi who followed came to see the sailboat, and they all made a sharp scream.
"Let the lifeboat down, I have to go up and see!"
As an old seaman, Victor clearly felt the difference of this ghost ship. Under the sun, it was exactly the appearance of a broken wooden boat. There was no strange fluorescent and horrifying in the storm. Trembling gas field.
"Come on! Don't grind it!" He sipped: "As a seafarer, it's a lucky thing to be able to explore the ghost ship in person!"
Obviously, the captain of the ship was very courageous and even made a decision on his own, despite the opposition of the crew.
"If that's the case, how about being with you?"
Wu Ming was next to him and smiled and made a suggestion: "I am also very interested in this kind of vessel!"
"This... okay!"
After an unpredictable gaze on Shang Wuming, Victor hesitated and immediately agreed.
"Steven, are you crazy?"
Alice stood on the deck, her face was tangled: "If you have any accidents..."
"This is an adventure! Expedition does not understand?"
What makes Wu Ming slightly surprised is that the guy from Vidi put a life jacket on himself, and also on the lifeboat: "The ghost ship on the sea, this thing will definitely be the capital of my life!"
"Really..."
Wu Ming smiled and shook his head, knowing that the reason why Vidy dared to come down, I am afraid because of myself, my heart could not help but secretly.
Although this guy is not good at his character and perseverance, he is still a bit loyal, and he may wish to bring him in the future.
"Well, we two, plus a few seamen are enough, Alice, can you take care of Angelina?"
Wu Ming stared at Alice's eyes, making it impossible for her to say the words of rejection.
"Okay! With the experience of sailing for many years, the ghost ship that can float under the sun is not too dangerous..."
Victor patted the palm of his hand and held a paddle with Wu Ming, slowly approaching the ghost ship.
The huge three-masted sailboat quietly stopped above the sea, and the wooden boards around it were decaying, with a stench.
"Be careful!"
The three officers on the yacht were ready to grab a piece of wood and flipped onto the boat. Suddenly, they only heard a bang, and the wooden board was pulled directly by him. The whole person fell into the sea.
The sea in the morning was still very cold. This guy was immediately rescued from the lifeboat and apparently could not participate in the exploration.
"Be careful, the wood of this sailboat is very decaying..."
Victor took a pipe and looked at the sailboat's eyes with a cherished color: "I suspect that as long as a wave will make it fall apart, so many years of ships, but very rare..."
Wu Ming carefully wrapped a claw that looked like a solid mast with a flying claw. Victor first climbed up.
"This floor... let me feel a little guilty!"
Wu Ming immediately followed, and Widy was the last one. He stepped on the deck of the three-masted sailboat and sweated on his face.
After years of disrepair and seawater soaking, the board became very soft. Although it feels very comfortable to step on, Wu Ming suspects that he will directly pull out a hole in the deck.
"Don't worry too much, the keel of this ship is still strong..."
Victor carefully looked at the boat and showed a trace of doubt on his face: "She is stronger than I thought, is it the bonus of the ghosts?"
Hey!
When it comes to this, he no longer hesitates to open the door directly and enter the interior of the cabin.
The gas searchlight glowed brightly, and a stench smell came from the floor. The floor was damp and even climbed some seaweed and shellfish, full of a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
"Hey! Hey!"
Victor opened a door at random, and the entire threshold broke down. Immediately, several white skeletons fell, and the hollow skull slid down on the ground, causing Vidy to scream.
"This should be the crew's lounge. I don't know what happened to them, let them die here, it seems that there is not even a struggle..."
Victor looked at this scene, but his face was dignified.
He and Wu Ming looked at each other and went to the best position in the cabin. It was the private space of the captain.
Peng!
The wooden door was opened directly and a somewhat old cabin was seen.
In the era of great navigation, due to the limited space of the ship, it has to be fully utilized and loaded with more goods. It has an independent cabin and is definitely a proof of identity on the ship!
Victor's poisonous eyes immediately stared at the desk, where Wu Ming stood and had a black and thick logbook.
This book is obviously well protected against moisture and mites, even after a long time of washing, but still barely read.
"Navigation log? Captain's diary?"
Victor snorted and revealed a somewhat mocking smile: "Mr. Steven, do you think that it is still the pirate era, the captains will find their private collections to find a desert island, and leave a map? ?"
After entering the era of industrialization, this inefficient way has long since been abandoned.
The private wealth of the captains is either deposited directly in the bank, designated heirs, or has long been squandered, or purchased value-protected products such as stocks and funds. Where else may be left?
As for the more important private routes, even after the discovery of the geography, even the world map was drawn. Perhaps the route described by the late captain was worth the price at the time, but now it must have been full. Merchant ship!
He is somewhat interested in the captain's treasure.
Although some luxury goods have been spoiled, gold and silverware will not rot.
"According to international practice, the discoveries in the high seas are all owned by the explorers... Mr. Steven, Mr. Widy, you have participated in this expedition, and you can also share in it!"
Captain Victor ignored the face of the second pair and smiled.
After estimating the value of these ‘heritions’, he gave up the idea of being swallowed up. After all, there is not much value in this ghost ship, and it is not worth his risk.
When Wu Ming and others hired him, his appearance and the ship had already been registered. For such a little wealth, he would be a pirate? Especially to get into such a group of second generation that looks very background?
Years of life experience, Captain Victor immediately gave up the idea.
"Do we also have a share?!"
Vidy’s eyes lit up and cheered.
He doesn't care about how much he can earn. He just thinks of the ‘certificate’ that can get a certain adventure from here. As a capital to brag and collect in the future, it is a very face-to-face thing.
"I am very happy to be able to participate in this expedition. It does not require any return..."
Wu Ming smiled slightly, but the words spoken made Captain Victor change his face: "Just... why should you auction these things off? How about sending them?"
"What do you mean?"
Victor has not spoken yet, and the second pair of three big, thick and rounded waists jumped out and shouted.
"Does the captain recognize the origin of this ship?"
Wu Ming did not answer, and looked directly at Victor.
"If I am not mistaken, this should be a very active slave ship at that time. Of course, as long as it sinks in the open sea, it becomes something without a master!"
Victor showed a captain's extraordinary vision and literacy.
"Indeed, this is a slave ship, and it was still the famous Hawke Mountain!"
Wu Ming took a nautical log on his hand.
"Hawker Seamount?! Hawk... The Hawk family!"
Victor gave an exclamation: "The big business group of the kingdom of navigation and shipbuilding?!"
"Oh, even if they dare to cross the law to find trouble?"
Both Vidy and the second officer showed this meaning, but Victor was silent.
"The most valuable thing here is some of the treasures in the captain's room. The value is less than 10,000 yuan!"
The experience of the appraisers made Wu Ming very qualified to say this. "But if you return it to the Hawk family, we will get their friendship. I don't know if Captain Victor has any interest in other businesses. ?"
"Other business?"
Not bad! I am very interested in the remains and treasures in the high seas, and I am going to set up a salvage company! I was still hesitating about the manpower and channels, but now everything is solved!
Wu Ming looks at Victor. "If you agree, I am willing to let you be my partner and invest a million yuan in advance!"
"one million?"
The second officer issued an exclamation. In this era, the purchasing power of the Jinyuan is very high. This is obviously an amazing wealth. Compared with this, the ghost ship is nothing at all.
Ocean fishing company?
Victor touched his chin: "Do you have any inside information?"
He strongly suspected that Wu Ming had obtained a shipwreck map before he took this attention. Otherwise, the salvage company basically had the same fate as the big ship.
Wu Ming also used an inscrutable smile. Of course he would not say that he just wanted to discover possible relics in the deep sea and prepared for the money.
Of course, this must not be said at this time.
"I just believe that once you have the friendship and connections of the Hawk family, if Captain Victor is willing to join, our business will be a great success!"
Wu Ming added a tone.
"This thing can wait until I go back and say..."
Victor’s face showed a hint of hesitation, and turned into a bitter smile:
At this age, you think so much, I finally know why I have been a poor ghost all my life...
