From The Island Owner To The King
From the Island Owner to the King: 4 Shipwreck Treasures

After Water Marg ’Xiaocheng, Chen Rui feels like a fish in the sea, swimming like his natural instinct, and he can easily and freely move in the water. As long as you flick your arms gently, your body is like a bow and arrow. People had appeared dozens of meters away.

After swimming back to the beach, standing on the reef, Chen Rui looked at the endless sea in front of him, and suddenly a thought appeared in Chen Rui's heart.

I remember watching a documentary about the treasure of a ship that sank in the sea before.

According to UNESCO statistics, there are about 3 million undiscovered shipwrecks in the world's oceans, though most are of limited value.

However, according to previous experts, there were more than 3,000 shipwrecks carrying gold and silver treasures on the seabed, and there were still more ships sunk. Although not loaded with gold and silver treasures, their cargoes are also very valuable today, including ivory and porcelain .

The sunken ship was kept in an airless environment in the ocean, and some of the cargo lying in the deep waters remained intact.

For example, in the coastal waters of China and the South China Sea, three generations of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, Chinese maritime trade flourished. At the time, the main goods of trade between China and the West were silk, tea, and porcelain. According to estimates, 2,000 to 3,000 shipwrecks, mostly beautiful porcelain ancient China.Experts say that this shipwreck is the 'porcelain capital of the seabed'.

In the Persian Gulf, from the 8th century to the era of great navigation, during this period, prosperous maritime trade brought endless wealth to the Arabs, the, and left many ships sunk in the Persian Gulf.

Because the Arabs were good at changing hands, they sold luxury goods west to east, and then sold oriental spices and porcelain to the west, so there's a lot of treasure on that shipwreck. These treasures include porcelain from the east and gold from the west. Silver, ivory, etc artwork.

In addition to the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf, there is also the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean off the Iberian Peninsula, the British Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Caribbean Sea.

The wreck includes merchant ships, treasure ships and pirate ships.

Treasures in the sunken ship include gold, silver, jewelry, gold and silver art, ivory, porcelain and so on.

Only a fraction of these mysterious treasures are found by explorers, and most of them remain in the corner of the ocean floor, attracting treasure hunters, archaeologists, and so on.

Most of the time, shipwreck treasures seem like legends, until explorers capture these myths from the bottom of the ocean and turn them into real gold coins, like mountains.

Treasure hunters around the world are not only pirates and ocean exploration companies, but individuals, families and even families.

For example, "treasure hunter" Mel Fisher and his family launched a joint search.On July 20, 1985, they found "Mrs Atoka" .This sunken ship, known as the largest treasure under the sea, has 40 tons of treasure, including 8 tons of gold, 500 kilograms of jewels, worth 400 million US dollars.

Of course, Mel Fisher was a very lucky family, most of the treasure hunters or ocean exploration companies found nothing.

The treasure hunt on the seabed is supposed to be an adventure filled with hormones, mysterious maps, and conspiracies.

It is very difficult to find the location of the shipwreck, from research to exploration, this is a very big task.

For example, the Odyssey company searched for "Republic", first collecting literature, and then analyzing the departure of the shipwreck "Republic", using a computer to simulate the lines and speed of the year. Eventually, the wreckage of the shipwreck was locked within 1,500 miles.

1500 Miles-only combing such a huge expanse of seabed with sonar should be a big task.

In addition, from research, search, exploration to rescue, the most difficult step is the most expensive step.

The simplest example, JasonII, a deep-sea operating robot, requires 2.5 million US dollars, and the price of a more advanced deep-sea operating robot has doubled now.

There are also large underwater excavation robots that cost more.

After all, machines are not human. During the rescue process, some valuable and fragile items, such as porcelain, can be accidentally damaged.

One more thing, whatever the type of texture equipment, dyeing in seawater in the long run will generally have a bad impact on its protection. Except for gold products, which are more resistant to corrosion, materials such as silver, copper, iron, etc, many metal relics have fresh parts when they have just come out of the water, but they oxidize quickly after contacting the air and eventually become Powder.

Also, once the porcelain itself is out of the environment surrounded by seawater, after exposure to the air for a long time and dry, the, the salt that has entered the body will continue to settle out, causing the glaze layer to crack and causing it to peel off from the carcass.

However, Chen Rui had pregnant sea beads, this was not a problem, and the treasure was directly collected into pregnant sea beads for preservation.

Water Divide + Water Margin gives Chen Rui great comfort in searching for a shipwreck.

Pregnant sea pearls bring great comfort to the rescue and preservation of Chen Rui's treasure.

Think about it here! Chen Rui's idea of an underwater treasure hunt was even more urgent.

The next day, Chen Rui stayed at a rented hotel and did not go out.

The treasure hunt at the bottom of the sea was divided into three steps.

Research, search, exploration, rescue.

Chen Rui wanted to search for treasures under the sea first from the research.

Look for some information about shipwrecks, word-of-mouth fishing stories, and notebooks.

Actually, there's no need to look for it. Now Zi Xun is already highly developed, as long as you search on the computer and enter the underwater treasure + Caribbean, or shipwreck + South China Sea, as long as you search on your computer, You can find countless information about this.

But it's also limited to this. More detailed information could not be obtained from Chen Rui's current abilities.

I searched the internet and Chen Rui quickly locked in the Caribbean.

To say the legend of a treasure in the sea, the first thought that people had in mind was the Caribbean Sea.

During the colonial era, gold plundered by Spain and Portugal from Central and South America needed to be returned to Europe via the Baltic Sea, so this sea area was also one of the busiest sea areas at that time. In addition to merchant ships and official ships, there were also a large number of pirate ship robberies. It also makes the Caribbean the area with the most frequent man-made accidents.
