Chapter 262 Pocket Watch

The water friends turned from excitement at first to astonishment. After Zhao Yanling entered the water, it was almost impossible to see through the diving camera.

Diving and salvage is a technical job, and professional talents and salvage equipment are indispensable, and it is impossible to play without money.Spending a million and eight million dollars may not even be worth it.For example, some salvage families in the United States encountered turbidity underwater and invented a method of pumping water from the sea surface with a pump and extending the pipe to Haiti to impact the sediment.Not only that, each of the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the sea, and whoever can get the treasure is the boss.

Zhao Yanling didn't have any equipment, so he just hugged a fallen reef and walked underwater.

He poked in the sand with his toes, and picked up any loose and hard objects to check.

With this stupid method, a sailor's scimitar was really fished out.

He surfaced and showed his treasure to the water friend: "This knife is old!"

He didn't have any research on antiques, he just said this dryly.

Blind people can also see that this piece of scrap copper and iron is an ancient relic. It is full of rust, and the blade has turned blue all over. Some parts have been corroded by sea water and creatures, and there are barnacle shells on it.The blade is thick and thick, with faint blood grooves.The handle of the knife seems to be made of copper, with a faint yellow color under the blue, and it has a semi-circular guard.

The workmanship is rough, and the blade angle is very wide, and it may collapse in many places when it falls into the water.

Pirates sound romantic, mysterious, and dangerous.In fact, most of the pirates along the coast of Europe at that time were a bunch of mud legs who couldn't survive in poverty. They didn't know a single word. He went to the gallows.Therefore, most of the weapons they use are crudely made.

"I have over 400 degrees of myopia, and I can see that it is a piece of broken copper and iron."

"Keep it, anyway, it's just a thought. You didn't catch a hair in the Atlantic Ocean this time. If you don't keep this broken knife, you will really get nothing."

"What's the nonsense upstairs, at least Lao Zhao has a lot of seafood."

His broken knife provoked ridicule from the water friends, and the live broadcast room was full of joy.

But after Zhao Yanling thought about it, what she said made sense.No matter how broken it is, it is still an antique, and it can be used as a decoration if it is worthless.

Put away the knife and continue to touch the water.

After a while, another wine bottle that was flooded and sinking to the bottom was recovered. This is a pot-bellied wine bottle with 1796 Madeira engraved on the bottle.

He removed the parasites on the wine bottle: "This wine bottle has a history of more than 200 years. It may have been drunk by the sailors and crew who wandered here at that time, and thrown into the sea. I don't know how much it is worth. It is probably not very valuable. .Is there anyone who likes to collect bottles?"

Once the words have been spoken, you know that you are stupid.Sure enough, there were many people in the studio who wanted this useless wine bottle in his opinion.There are too many monks and too little meat, so he decided to wait until he got out.

At least he was sure that there were indeed sunken items that could be salvaged on the seabed full of hidden reefs. Judging from a sailor's scimitar and a wine bottle, roughly dated, these were objects from two eras.

The Shipwreck Cemetery lives up to its name.

He followed a straight line and dived beside the Clover.

The draft of the Clover is very shallow, and a slightly larger ship can carry the bottom.

Throwing the wine bottle and machete into the cabin, he decided to explore along the outer ring of the reef.The water quality here is relatively clear, but the undercurrent is relatively large.

So he emptied the backpack, picked up a larger reef, put it in it, and hung it on his chest as a "sea god needle".

Shuiyou didn't have any hope that he could find the treasure before, but Lao Zhao was more forceful and found two worthless gadgets, which gave them hope.

"This kind of environment, that is, Lao Zhao's wild way, does not need cumbersome oxygen cylinders and other diving equipment, and walks under the sea with one breath. For other people, there are so many sharp reefs, it is almost impossible to move."

"6. Lao Zhao reminds me of Huyan Dazang in Gu Long's novel, walking from the bottom of the sea to the Central Plains."

"Don't pull Lao Zhao on the little devil, are you cursing?"

Zhao Yanling shuttled back and forth between the outer ring and the inner ring, but found nothing but some rags.

Back to the inner atoll rock group, I met the apple-sized octopus again.First, it quickly changed its body color, retracted its six claws, and disguised itself as a rock.Then, using two legs, it slowly moved backwards on the bottom of the sea, trying to escape.

When Zhao Yanling came into sight, it recognized it, stretched its limbs relaxedly, and swam towards Zhao Yanling instead.

Octopuses have conceptual thinking, can think independently and solve problems, and know how to use tools to achieve their goals.Octopuses have three hearts and two brains containing 5 million neurons, which are the basis of their intelligence.

Zhao Yanling didn't hesitate to reward him, and the octopus wrapped around his hand to play.

"It's also a tentacle monster, but this octopus is much cuter than the giant squid in the deep sea."

"If it were me, I would feel terrified when I met any tentacle monster, and I would get goosebumps."

After playing for a while, seeing that Zhao Yanling no longer sent energy to it, it left leisurely, found shells in the crevices of the reef, and tried to use the sharp horny palate and file-like radula on its arms and feet to drill the shells into pieces. The hole is good for licking the shellfish inside.

But the shell was thicker than it had imagined, and it couldn't penetrate it after working for a long time.

At this time, the octopus hooked something out from the crevice of the reef with its tentacles.

The water was turbid, and Zhao Yanling couldn't see clearly at first.It quietly lay in ambush, waiting for the shell to relax its vigilance and open a small mouth, and the octopus quickly stuffed the thing lifted by the tentacles into the mouth of the shell.

The shell couldn't be closed, so it swam over and squeezed in three times, five times and two times, and licked the shell meat inside after a while.

"so smart!"

"So there are so many spirited animals in the ocean."

"what is that?"

Only then did Zhao Yanling realize that the thing held by the shell had a faint metallic luster.

He curiously went to pick it up, and it turned out to be a watch chain, connected to a rusty old-fashioned pocket watch!
Surfaced, he held his pocket watch in front of his eyes.Blackened silver case, white enamel dial with western numerals 1 to 12.The numbers on the dial are obviously raised, the back case of the watch is hollow, and the protective cover on the balance spring of the movement has western enamel paintings of ladies.There is a small gold star above the lady's head, which is fixed by a copper plate and the balance wheel of the balance spring.This is a self-winding mechanical watch, a tourbillon watch.

"Hold a big grass, to develop!"

"The old driver takes me, I want to get the baby too!"

As long as anyone with a discerning eye sees it, this watch is absolutely extraordinary.

A typical product of the golden age of watches and clocks in the [-]th century, with a simple style and a heavy atmosphere, even the bay leaf-shaped cable chain is very finely made.There is a string of letters missing arms and legs behind the watch, I can't make out what it is.It may be the name of the craftsman, and it may be the name of the holder.

Zhuang Zheng, who was watching Zhao Yanling's live broadcast, became excited, and Lao Zhao touched the baby again.

He knows Zhao Yanling too well, old Zhao has tasted the sweetness, and will definitely make a big discovery...
