Chapter 264 Amazing Fortune
An increasingly rich face appeared, and Zhuang Zheng smiled on the screen. He had never done a live broadcast, so he didn't know that stretching his head would make him look wretched and greasy...

The old boy is also well-informed, but under the attention of all the people, he stumbled and stuttered at the critical moment.

Zhao Yanling put the lid on the pot: "Isn't it? I said brother, you are also an old clapper who roams the rivers and lakes, and this small scene can calm you down?"

Zhuang Zheng was rather agitated: "That can't be done, hehe, isn't this because I'm excited to see brother Zhao?"

Zhao Yanling put the nameplate in front of the camera and asked Zhuang Zheng to study it carefully.

If you are buying an antique from someone else, you may need to identify the authenticity, but what Zhao Yanling is holding is a fresh Haiqing head, so it is impossible to fake it.Zhuang Zheng doesn't need to get started, he just needs to be firm about the origin of the nameplate.

Soothing his mind, Zhuang Zheng cleared his throat and said, "I checked the information, and I asked my friends in the industry to inquire, and temporarily judged that the three treasures in your hand, not counting the knife, may be old pieces from two sunken ships. The nameplate and gold chain should be the things that the Spanish colonists mined on a large scale in South America in the early 17th century. When the gold, silver and precious stones they obtained were transported back to Spain, they lost their way at sea and strayed into the Skeleton Coast and sank. This ship, if If there is no mistake, it should be the Victor. Not to mention the gold chain, there were many such rough and ordinary gold ornaments on the Victor at that time. The nameplate belonged to a priest who returned to China on the ship at that time, and it was worth about 25 dollars. In addition to the Madonna and the Holy Grail nameplate, there is also a golden cross, which may not be easy to find. The pocket watch is a modern object, and it has not been verified which ship it came from. After all, there are too many shipwrecks in the world..."

According to the statistics of UNESCO, there are more than 300 million submarine sunken ships all over the world, which is too huge.

Although the Skeleton Coast is a small place, in the Middle Ages, people sailing at sea were discolored, and there were many silent ships here.It is estimated that there should be more than 500 large and small ships that were killed successively. Most of them were ancient wooden sailing ships, but one of them included a modern freighter.

The survivors at the time personally described that within a month of being stranded on the coast, the freighter gradually sank into the shallows until it disappeared.

The boss of the boat said that no one had ever salvaged it, and he only knew one thing but not the other.In fact, on the Skeleton Coast, people have been coming one after another.They brought simple equipment and diving tools, just like Zhao Yanling, they couldn't find anything in the turbid current with their naked eyes.

The reef scratched a lot of diving suits, wasting a lot of scuba, and the salvaged objects were limited, making ends meet.

Salvaging shipwreck treasures is a money-burning activity.Maintaining two 90-foot salvage ships plus a small search ship, maintaining scanning devices and at least 20 salaries for diving workers, 30 years ago, the annual investment could reach a staggering $300 million, and now more .

The investment of 300 million is still in the situation where everything is ready and only maintenance and wages are needed, the harvest may be only 30, or it may be several hundred million.There is more than one shipwreck, and the salvage industry certainly chooses places with high cost performance.

Zhuang Zheng said: "I counted the ships that sank there in history. There may be nearly 8 tons of gold and nearly 500 kilograms of precious stones. If, just saying, if all these treasures are salvaged, the total value should be 7 million US dollars. about."

Zhuang Zheng's in-depth explanation made the live broadcast room fry.

"Did I hear you right, 7 million? U.S. dollars?"

"This big brother is too honest, and it makes people jealous. Why don't you get rich?"

"There must be something strange about this matter."

Zhuang Zheng was also watching the barrage, and he said with a smile: "You only see the total number, but you don't see the financial resources and manpower behind it. Because after the ship sinks, the things on the ship will be swept away by the undercurrent, and the salvage work will take a few days. For ten years, it costs millions of dollars every year. This is on the premise that you have a salvage boat and salvage equipment that only needs maintenance. There is only one old Zhao. It is not impossible for normal people to find treasures with only a diving suit. It is also impossible for humans to train octopuses to help in treasure hunting, and at most buying underwater robots would be a huge investment.”

There are many people who are bold and reckless. When Zhuang Zheng said the figure of 7 million US dollars, someone really came up with the idea of ​​a shipwreck cemetery.After listening to Zhuang Zheng's analysis of the required efforts, 90.00% of them gave up.

The remaining small group of people, many of them are crooked friends, do not need to travel thousands of miles across the ocean, just try their luck.Zhao Yanling is now an international adventure star, and the people watching his live broadcast are all-encompassing, including many Europeans.

Zhao Yanling didn't care about these, if it was so easy to salvage, would they still get their turn?

After explaining the source and classification of the treasures, and instructing a few maintenance matters, Zhuang Zheng resigned.

The barnacles and grilled oysters stewed in clear water were already cooked, and Zhao Yanling ate them to their heart's content.The barnacle cup is only filled with simple condiments, but the taste is extremely delicious, with a sweet taste.

Many people think that the taste of barnacles is worse than that of lobster, but the price is almost the same, and the cost performance is low, so it is not worth trying.Zhao Yanling, a gourmet master, feels that barnacles and lobsters have their own advantages and disadvantages, especially stewed, which has a unique taste, and the more you drink, the more addictive it becomes.

"I'm envious of people who eat seafood every day."

"I guess it's up to Lao Zhao to choose. He wants to eat more delicacies now."

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, why don't you go to the sea to find treasure?"

Zhao Yanling clutched her chest, her face paled a little: "Brother, if you have a life to earn money, you have to have a life to spend it. I suffered an internal injury before, and I didn't suffer from it until I was in good health. My chest is stuffy and aching, I'm sure I can't do it today. Eat some raw seafood to make up for it, and wait until the body recovers."

After eating, he lay on the deck and turned off the live broadcast to rest.

At night, he had all kinds of bizarre dreams.In the dream there was a tall man, but he couldn't see his face clearly.He only knew that he hated this person and wanted to kill him.

But he was empty-handed and unarmed, so he had to use his fists to solve it.

In the dream, the target seemed to have lost its effect, a punch was thrown at it, the aim was very accurate, but the fist missed.It was as if there was an invisible layer of resistance in the air, allowing him to slash open with his fist.

He got into a fight with the opponent, and he received more punches.The fists of both sides rained down, and after a long fight, Zhao Yanling's body swayed from side to side, unable to use his strength, and the more he fought, the more aggrieved he became.

He was so angry that he punched him with all his might.

"boom"

Zhao Yanling woke up with severe pain in the front of her fist and finger bones.

The Clover was swaying in the waves, rolling from side to side on the deck.He just punched the ship's side with a fist, sending sawdust flying from a slightly decayed part.But no matter how rotten it was, it was still solid wood, and the back of the hand and fingers immediately swelled up.

I didn't feel any kind of internal injury yesterday, but it seems to have started to attack.He folded his arms, leaned against the mast and shivered, feeling a cold aura rushing back and forth from the inside out.

At this moment, he was looking forward to the sun rising soon and bringing him some warmth.

　Thank you for the "I won't tell you I'll suffocate you" award, excellent!
