566. Finally waiting for you (5)
During the diving into the seabed, Ao Muyang took out an electronic thermometer and conducted layered statistics on the water temperature.
When he was about ten meters away from the seabed, he turned around and swam southeastward. Through his accessible vision, a wreck appeared...
Yes, this is the fundamental reason why he insisted on entering the water. When he rescued the scientific researcher whose body was overheated, he happened to find a shipwreck in the distance.
Since he could walk underwater freely, he wanted to find a shipwreck, but he had no gains.
Finally, I waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up.
This ship has been sinking to the seabed for a long time. The hull has turned into a decayed gray-black, with some seaweeds and other things coiled on it. A small part of it is buried in the sand layer under the sea, which is very inconspicuous.
Therefore, even though several scientific researchers dived into the seabed, they still did not find the ship. First, their vision was not good, and they could only see a few meters away with the searchlight on their helmets; second, the ship was really hidden enough.
The bow of the wreck is very pointed and upturned, rising high from the hull. Its sides arch outwards, with broken guard plates on both sides. Even though it has been sinking for many years, the tall hull is still preserving, and the wide flat deck of the bow is intact, and even the eyes drawn on both sides of the bow are probably still remaining.
At first glance, Ao Muyang recognized its identity: a lucky ship!
He was so familiar with this ship. The Ming Dynasty warship was docked in the waters outside the village. He could see it every day, so he knew this kind of ship very well.
After seeing clearly that this was a lucky boat, Ao Muyang was no longer very interested.
Most of the lucky ships are large ships. They have high bows and strong impact devices. The draft is very deep and can reach four meters, which is especially suitable as warships.
Ao Muyang estimated that this was also a warship, and it was a half-incomplete warship.
There are no treasures such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and cultural relics on the warship, but only weapons, but they can be soaked on the seabed for a long time, even modern forged weapons will be corroded, let alone products with low smelting technology in ancient times?
After approaching the ship, he saw the full picture of the shipwreck.
The first half of the shipwreck was fine, but the second half had been shattered. It might have been a mid-air gun, and there was a big hole left on the hull, which looked like an ancient shell.
Landing in the deep sea of 100 meters, there are no fish, shrimps and crabs in this boat, only a lot of shellfish, and snails parasitic on it.
This is a conch park. The slow-flowing undercurrents brings a lot of food. In addition, there are shipwrecks as bunkers, no predators will come to trouble them, allowing them to live well and their ethnic groups to reproduce well.
There are conchs inside and outside the shipwreck, full of them, enough to make people with dense phobia have nightmares.
After getting close to the wreck, Ao Muyang floated in the sea and pushed the hull with his hands to see if it had turned into a ruin. He didn't want to be smashed inside when he went in and took the risk.
Fortunately, most of the wood used in Fuchuan is willow and poplar, with a hard texture and well-preserved.
Following the bow of the ship, he first entered the cockpit, looking for proof of identification about the ship.
As a result, he found no useful information. There were only a few dead bones in the cockpit, and small conchs were also climbing onto the bones, which looked a little evil.
Fortunately, he patiently removed the cockpit and finally found two small boxes. The two boxes were well preserved and sealed with a layer of glue or wax.
Seeing that Ao Muyang tried the box, it was very light and they should have some value, so he brought the two small boxes to him and continued to search.
Entering the cabin from the boat, some messy boxes appeared.
Most of these boxes are made of wood. He touched them with his hands and they were quite strong.
So he felt expectant and opened the box and wanted to see if there was anything valuable inside.
There are piles of broken porcelain pieces inside. After being soaked in sea water for a long time, the broken porcelain pieces that have been covered with plankton. The appearance is rough and the color is yellow-brown, and have no value.
Obviously, porcelain was once contained in the box, but they collided and shattered each other when the ship was sunk.
Even if it is not broken, it has no value. The porcelain has been soaked in sea water for too long, and they have lost their luster and softness, and are no longer the world-renowned oriental porcelain.
He opened the boxes one by one, and it was full of broken porcelain, and it was of no value.
Entering the second cabin, there are also wooden boxes, and after opening it, there are piles of broken porcelain inside.
Ao Muyang looked carefully and said that the porcelain was wrong. These were pottery, and some of them could be preserved. He picked it up and looked at two rows of characters on it, one of which was made by regular script: Cheng Yi Huamao wine. He recognized this, and there was also a row that looked like a ghost-painted talisman, and I don’t know which country it was written.
These words are not written on it, but are engraved on it when the jar is fired, so it can still be preserved even if it is soaked in the sea for many years.
Looking at the calligraphy of Ao Muyang, I understood that there were wine jars in it. I guess a lot of good wine was shipped, but unfortunately the wine jars were all broken.
Even if it is a fine wine, its value is incomparable to the porcelain in the previous cabin. The porcelain is so well protected, and the wine jars are naturally broken.
And even if they were not broken, the wine inside was gone. The bottle mouth was made of old-fashioned kraft paper and mud seal. The dry mud had melted in the water. For many years, seawater has penetrated into the jar through kraft paper, destroying the wine inside.
The cabins behind were unable to enter, and they were even more broken. Through the gap, Ao Muyang looked inside and found that it was empty...
"Another abandoned shipwreck." Ao Muyang shook his head helplessly.
He didn't want to return empty-handed, so he went back to the second cabin to look for the wine jars carefully, wanting to see if he could find a complete wine jar to take them back.
As a result, as he opened the wooden box, he found that some of the wooden boxes were not wine jars, but some silk and satin.
Of course, this thing can only be guessed by impression. After being soaked in the sea water for countless years, most of these cloths have become rotten and become sticky fragments when touched with your hands.
The surprise did not appear. Even if he patiently opened all the boxes, he would never find anything again. In this way, he had no choice but to leave the shipwreck and surface.
He stayed on the shipwreck for more than two hours, and no one doubted his underwater condition, because the floating process of a 100-meter-deep dive took a long time. The reason why scientific researchers floated up quickly was that the situation was urgent and had to float up faster.
Seeing him coming out of the water, Professor Cao immediately came up and said, "Xiao Ao, how are you?"
Ao Muyang said: "My situation is pretty good. Look, Professor Cao, this is the water temperature distribution."
Professor Cao held the thermometer and said, "Fortunately, you have helped me a lot."
Ao Muyang smiled and put the two small boxes in his bag quietly. No one paid attention to him. He wanted to open the box and look at the situation inside, but he still didn't do it in the end.
Chapter completed!
