Chapter 258 Endless Treasure
I chose the seventeenth clone and turned the next cycle into six days.
Ye Ning was not idle at all. The gem auction was handed over to the auction house, and Ye Ning began to consider the next salvage.
Although the salvage of Aba Maru is not very satisfactory, it is indeed a big profit. This made Ye Ning realize the benefits of salvage of such well-known shipwrecks, which opened up Ye Ning an idea. If most people do not salvage these well-known shipwrecks, they either cannot obtain permission, have no ability, or are worried that the cost is too high and they cannot make a profit.
However, Ye Ning can avoid these troubles of ordinary people. He can get around this aspect by obtaining permission, because Ye Ning does not need to salvage the ship, but he will directly salvage the underwater without knowing it. As long as you don’t sell too iconic items, Ye Ning doesn’t have to worry about the abilities and costs.
Ye Ning began to search for information and investigate those well-known marine treasures. He didn't know if he didn't check it. He was shocked when he checked it. There were more marine treasures than Ye Ning imagined.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Why are there more treasures in the deep seabed than people imagined? This is because, in history, a ship was buried in the sea every 29 hours. In the 16th century, of every 100 gold and silver ships transported from American colonies to Westbana, 45 were sunk by pirates and storms to the bottom of the sea. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the cargo ships sunk by pirates and storms still reached 30% to 40%. Each shipwreck almost carried a treasure.
The place with the most treasures under the sea is said to be in the Galebe Sea in northern Latin America. Since Colomb arrived here for the third time when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1498, there have been few thousand ships full of gold, silver and jewelry sunk by storms and pirates. In addition to Galebe, overseas, hundreds of ships are also sleeping in the bottom of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, most of which are ships carrying treasures by the Netherlands. The Yellow Sea, the Bass Strait between the continental Australia and Tasmania, the coasts of Zhili, Peru, Venezuela and Bassia, as well as the coasts of Spain, Britain and the southern United States, are also relatively concentrated sea areas.
There is a "Treasure Cemetery" at the bottom of a sea near the Atlantic Sargasso Sea. It is said that 1/10 of the gold on the earth sank there, and some places have a sea depth of less than 30 meters. Another "Treasure Cemetery" is southeast of Bermudes in Cuba. The third "Treasure Cemetery" is located 250 nautical miles off the sea 250 nautical miles from Cape Kolionte in Agentine. The fourth "Treasure Cemetery" is located near the island of Chillo E-E, Chille. The fifth "Treasure Cemetery" is located at the bottom of Cape Fode (Green Point) in Seynegall.
In addition to the five treasure cemeteries above, Ye Ning also saw eight well-known treasures in the ocean.
The first treasure, the Spanish galleon "San Jose", full of gold bars, silver bars, gold coins and jewelry, was sunk in the Caribbean Sea by the British Navy in 1708.
The second treasure is the California gold treasure. In 1849 AD, a gold mine was discovered in California. A large number of Eastern Americans rushed to California to dig gold mines. Eight years later, they brought the digged California gold and prepared to go home. Unexpectedly, the boat they were riding was hit by a hurricane. All the gold sank to the bottom of the sea.
The third treasure is the treasure at the bottom of the lake at the end of the rainbow. The nephew of the last king of the Muska Indians in Colombia. A large amount of jewelry from the traditional coronation ceremony of King Muska described in the early 17th century was thrown into the lake.
The fourth treasure is the Changmao Mausoleum treasure. It is said that there are a large number of jewelry in the tomb of the kings underground in Changmao Ruins, the capital of the ancient Inkar Kingdom.
The fifth treasure is Columbus' shipwreck. Archaeologists believe that five ships in Columbus sank in the Caribbean Sea for some reason, and treasure hunters have been exploring here.
The sixth treasure is the Treasure Island Treasure. It is said that there are 6 treasures in Coco Island in the Pacific. The most attractive one is the treasure of Lima, Peru.
The seventh treasure is the treasure of the Money Pit. It is said that there is a treasure buried on Oak Island, a small island outside the sea of Novascotiya.
The eighth treasure is the Arizona Gold Mine. Somewhere in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona, many people went to hunt for treasures, and some people also drew a map of the treasure-hiding place.
...
Why are there so many treasures, some of which are in the high seas, and are homeless, but few people go to salvage them?
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to go for salvage, but they don’t dare to go for it. It’s not easy to salvage the ocean itself, let alone these dangerous areas.
For example, the first "Treasure Cemetery" Sargasso Sea, also known as Sagasso (Portuguese grape fruit) Sea, is a sea without shore in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly between 20-35° north latitude and 35-70° west longitude, covering about 5-6 million square kilometers of water. Sargasso Sea surrounds the Baimu Islands and has nothing to do with the mainland, so although its name is "sea", it is actually not a sea in the strict sense. It can only be said to be a special water in the Atlantic Ocean. Sargasso Sea is a "sea in the ocean", and it is separated from the North American continent to the west by a wide sea area. The other three sides are vast ocean surfaces. Therefore, it is the only sea in the world without a coast, so there is no clear sea-European demarcation line.
This Sargasso Sea has the reputation of "Green Field of the Sea", but it also has the title of "Sea of Algae".
Why is there such a terrifying name? Since ancient times, almost none of the ships that mistakenly entered this "green ocean" can be "returned to Zhao". In the sailing era, I don't know how many ships were entangled by Sargasso because they mistakenly entered this strange sea. The people on the ship did not survive because of the exhaustion of fresh water and food. Therefore, people called this sea area "the cemetery of the ocean."
The first person to enter this sea area was Columb. They were besieged here for almost a month, and finally survived with the hard work of all the crew.
During World War II, Major Ozmin from Britain personally went to the Sargasso Sea. There was no wind on the sea, and the "green field" emitted a disgusting and strange odor, and destroyed ships were everywhere. The surface of the seaweed was extremely sticky, and after sucking people's hands, it left blood marks. At night, the seaweed climbed onto the deck of the ship like a snake, as if it was about to wrap the ship. In order to sail, he had to sweep away the seaweed, but more and more seaweeds surged onto the deck like a tide. After a fight, he was exhausted and was lucky to escape.
In the eyes of navigators, the Sargasso Sea is a sea desert and a tomb of ships. In this empty and dead sea area, almost no edible fish can be caught. Turtles and occasional whales seem to be the only life, and in addition to the single-celled algae. In the stories circulating, the Sargasso Sea is described as a huge trap. The passing ships will be captured by magical seaweed and trapped in the seaweed group. In the end, only the sailor's bones and the wreckage of the ships are left. The Bai-Mu-Grand Triangle, as the most famous mysterious area in this sea area, pushes these legends to the extreme.
...
In short, even if there are countless treasures in many sea areas, ordinary people can only think about it and dare not salvage it at all.
Ye Ning thought about it and finally chose Galebi-hai, especially focusing on the Holy Ho-Si, one of the eight treasures that Shen Zalebi-hai.
The ship sank on May 28, 1708. It was a clear day. The "San Jose" slowly set sail from Panama and headed towards the Spanish territorial waters. The heavily guarded ship was loaded with gold bars, silver bars, gold coins, gold lampstands, and jewelry for altar supplies. This batch of treasures is estimated to be worth at least $1 billion. At that time, Spain was in a state of hostility with Britain, the Netherlands and other countries, and the famous British naval general Weiger was leading the army, the famous British naval general, Weiger, was leading the army.
With a powerful fleet patrolling nearby, danger would come from time to time. However, the captain of the "San Jose" Federz completely ignored it. One reason was that he was eager to return home, and the other reason was that he was too superstitious about the luck of accidentality, and naively thought: the sea was so vast, would he encounter an enemy ship like this? The sailing ship of the "San Jose" was sailing safely for a few days, and the captain seemed relaxed and confident, until June 8, when people were frightened to find a sea in front of them.
When the British fleet lined up, they were all stunned. Suddenly, there was a lot of artillery fire and water columns soaring into the sky. Several shells fell on the deck of the "San Jose". The sea water gradually swallowed the huge hull. The "San Jose" and more than 600 crew members and countless treasures sank to the bottom of the sea. After the measurement of countless treasure hunters, the sinking site finally had a rough result: it was about 16 miles from the Colombian coast.
740 feet deep seabed. As the saying goes, "The moon will be the one near the water." In 1983, Colombian Public Minister Sigvia officially and solemnly announced that the "San Jose" is the national property of the State of Colombia and does not belong to those insatiable treasure hunters. It is estimated that the Colombian government has surveyed the location of the shipwreck. Although the salvage costs are as high as US$30 million, it is nothing compared to this batch of treasures.
The ship, Brother Lunbiya, had no action. Either it was Brother Lunbiya, had already secretly salvaged it, or it felt that the cost of salvage was too high and too difficult, and was still preparing.
If it was the latter, then Ye Ning would be very troublesome. Ye Ning controlled the sperm whale and took the octopus and the swordfish swam to the Galebbee Sea, the wreckage site of the Saint-Ho-West. However, because the journey was long and it took some time, Ye Ning did not waste the scenery along the way and kept collecting ocean treasures along the way.
Anyway, no matter where the animal clone goes, you can throw the treasure directly into the turtle shell space without worrying about transportation issues.
With the addition of sperm whales, the speed of treasure hunting is faster. You should know that sperm whales can detect sonar on a large scale. Although the detection cannot be very detailed, at least they can quickly know the general situation, and then cooperate with the swordfish's speed to quickly inquire.
Therefore, these days, I still have a lot of treasures every day, basically maintaining them at around one million a day.
