Chapter 166(1/2)
After determining the location of the shipwreck, Xia Yu quickly carried out the salvage operation.
He is now familiar with the road and is very well-organized to do it.
Of course, there is also the most important point. He was surprised to find that there were many cultural relics on this wreck.
There are quite a lot of porcelain, metal and glass products scattered around the shipwreck.
Most of these porcelain and glass products are broken and have low economic value, but they have to be put away.
From the analysis of the number of scattered cultural relics, there should be more things on this wrecked ship.
Counting in tens of thousands is considered small in shipwreck treasures.
Judging from his past experience in salvage, at least more than 100,000 pieces, and even more pieces were broken.
In this way, the salvage will take a lot of time.
He has entered the country and captured Wa Island for 14 days, and his tourist visa has expired for 16 days. He is quite satisfied if he can salvage all the wrecks before that.
This night, he planned to work overtime. Anyway, he was in good spirits, so he could be said to be particularly excited and excited.
After determining the location of the shipwreck, he first put the things scattered around him into the space.
This alone took him a whole night and a morning.
During this period, he also had a preliminary understanding and inference about the age of this shipwreck.
The ship carries a very large number of cargoes, rich in variety, and has a particularly wide range of sources.
Just what he received was about two hundred meters in a radius of the shipwreck.
The largest number is celadon from Yue Kiln.
The age was around the end of the Five Dynasties or the early Song Dynasty. Some of the celadons of good quality were similar to the secret porcelains in museums.
There are also many white porcelains, which basically come from Xing Kiln or Ding Kiln.
After the Yuan Dynasty, no white porcelain was seen in the porcelain exported to the outside world. Blue and white porcelain is absolutely mainstream, and there are other types of color porcelain.
In addition to porcelain, the relatively rough glass and glazed products now seemed to have no such technology in China and Southeast Asia at that time.
This should be from the Middle East, when Syria and Persia had related glass firing technologies.
Among other metal products are the lead-cast coins of the "Qianheng Chongbao" of the Southern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and silver ingots engraved with the words "Guiyangjian".
There are written records, which are crucial to judging the age of the shipwreck.
There was no sign on these porcelains. It was not until the Song Dynasty that porcelain symbols gradually emerged, and there were signs in general in the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the Southern Han Dynasty used Yuhai City as its capital, and maritime trade was particularly developed.
According to historical records, during the reign of Liu Yin, the ancestor of the Southern Han Dynasty, and Liu Yan, the first emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, he repeatedly paid gold, silver, rhinoceros horns, ivory, miscellaneous treasures, etc. to the Houliang, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and most of these tributes came from overseas.
In addition, the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty lived a luxurious life and once built a large-scale construction to build Ligong Gardens. Among them, there are crystals, amber and pearls in the Zhaoyang Palace. Glassware, blue-glazed bottles, etc. unearthed from the Southern Han Dynasty Palace and the imperial tombs, and all of these are obviously overseas objects.
Xia Yu's familiarity with these history also allowed him to make judgments soon.
In addition, there are also some fine pottery. The style of this type of pottery is not Chinese, but Thai style, including pottery bowls and pottery jars.
Only after all the cultural relics scattered around him were put into the space, Xia Yu officially salvaged the wreck.
The truly valuable cultural relics are basically all here in the shipwreck.
The value of preserving the whole thing will be higher. Even if these broken cultural relics can be restored, their value will be greatly reduced.
He was busy until the evening. After the excitement passed, he felt a little tired, so he was ready to go ashore to rest.
He still stayed in a hotel without mentioning it. He was so busy that he didn't go out to eat, so he cooked seafood in the space to replenish his nutrition.
Without these nutritious and delicious seafood, he would never have been able to stay at the seabed for two days and one night, and his physical energy consumption would not be able to support it.
It was one of the few times he had when he contacted the outside world at night.
While working hard at the seabed, he could not see any ghost, and he deliberately avoided the ships and people.
After half a month of separation, Bai Yujiao missed him day by day. When communicating, she asked when he could go back.
When Xia Yu was video chatting with her that day, he finally gave a slightly affirmative answer, "I have been lucky these two days. I have found some good things, and the quantity should be quite large. I guess I have to wait until my visa is about to expire before I can go back. I will try to speed up, and I miss my wife too."
Bai Yujiao was immediately excited when she heard this, "As long as you gain something, I knew that my husband would not return empty-handed."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's sure. If you don't say anything else, there is definitely seafood. You can eat seafood until you have enough food!"
He didn't reveal much more detailed information, and he is not particularly sure how much he can salvage it now.
Bai Yujiao Bingxue is smart and as always, she doesn't ask the whole question and know the general situation. Even when they were chatting, they didn't mention words like the shipwreck treasure directly.
If you are sure to find the shipwreck, Xia Yu's work will be relatively fixed later. He will salvage the good things on the shipwreck and handle them.
Bai Yujiao is nothing special in China. The main task of the student party is to study hard and improve every day...
The same is true for Xia Xue. This time, Xia Yu has been wandering abroad for so long and has not planned to return to China. She misses her so much.
Because since Xia Yu went abroad, their quality of life has also declined sharply.
Xia’s father drove some seafood to Yuhai for them to eat, but he couldn’t get a lot of precious and delicious seafood like Xia Yu.
They also go out to sea to fish in the net these days, but they don’t get much, and the categories are relatively single.
When the tide is gone, put a shrimp net and after the tide is gone, put a crab net, and only those can catch seafood.
Even there are not as many species as Xia Mingguang fishing, such as grouper, which usually lives in reef areas, and when fishing in the net, the chance of catching them is relatively small.
Fishing, or specializing in the rock and reef area to place net cages, you will have a better chance to catch delicious grouper.
In addition, the small seafood such as conch and shells picked up by Tianxia's mother in the sea are their "life-saving food" and are better kept for a long time.
Xia Xue doesn’t dislike being a little bitch now. She just needs to eat, and it’s all made by her parents.
But after tasting it, she and Bai Yujiao both agreed that they were not as delicious as Xia Yu got it back.
He Linlin had no say in eating and drinking freely, and she just hoped that Xia Yu would come back early so that they could have a more sumptuous seafood meal.
Xia Yu also gave his sister an approximate time to come back, which made the girl feel depressed, "It will take a long time!"
He didn't reveal more information to Xia Xue. He didn't care much about her emotions. He just wanted to get the feelings.
It would be even better if his parents at home, he would just report his safety.
Bai Gaorui's Yuxiangzhai and Bai Gaoze's Izumo Xuan helped him take advantage of Yuan blue and white porcelain and other porcelain and gold ingots.
He will definitely not run back just because he succeeds in taking action.
In addition to trusting them and having fully entrusted them with responsibility, Bai Yujiao can also help him make decisions on these matters.
There is also the death-induced ghost Zhou Chen, and Xia Yu said that he could not help, and he had no time to mess around and asked the import and export company to transport seafood back to China for this matter.
After a good night of rest, Xia Yu continued to go into the sea to salvage the shipwreck treasure.
His speed was already quite fast. It would be better to have a golden finger, so he didn't complain about anything.
Xia Yu, who has entered the work state, is very dedicated and selfless to carry out his homework.
In this place where the water flow is more than 100 meters under the water and the water flow is relatively fast, if it is a professional salvage company, it will take at least two or three years to complete it.
His speed is much faster. According to the previous practice, he should first put the mud and sand, the hull and various things covered under the mud and sand into space.
When sorting out, we have to wait until later.
To this end, he also specially opened up an area to store the wreck.
If you cannot clean and desalinate within a short period of time, you should continue to soak in the sea water.
That day, he dealt with the porcelain on the ship.
The number of people made him a little unbelievable.
The size of this ship is not much the same as the size of the wreck he salvaged before, and it looks about thirty meters long.
But the cargo inside is several times that of other wrecks.
The style of this ship is not a Chinese merchant ship or a merchant ship in the Middle East, but it is more like a merchant ship in the Zhuwa side.
He worked hard all day and collected the porcelain in the space was estimated to be about 15,000.
There were too many quantities, so he couldn't count them in detail, not to mention that many of them were collected together with mud and sand.
Among them, the celadon bowls of Yue Kiln account for the vast majority.
Other plates, pots, jars and boxes do not account for much.
He estimated that at least three-quarters of the cargo of the entire ship were porcelain.
On the upper floor of the ship, basically all found porcelain.
He worked for a week in a row, and every day he put nearly 20,000 pieces of porcelain into his space.
Among them, the quality accounts for only half.
The other half is damaged, which can be repaired, accounting for about half.
After a week, he had just finished salvaging the cultural relics on the upper floor of the cabin.
Next, he also continued the subsequent salvage work.
To be continued...
