Chapter 346 Salvage of the Deep Sea Treasure Ship (2)

Off the coast of Cuba, open sea waters.

Zhao Wenmu said in his heart that of course it was the Lady Atoka, after all, this had already happened in his previous life.

The discovery of the cannon sent the Merry's crew briefly into a state of euphoria.

"Come on guys! The beautiful Lady Atoka is waiting for you underwater, go find her, kiss the sweetest flower heart, and bring back all the treasures!"

"Oh, she's mine!"

Under Mel's encouragement, the divers jumped into the water with howls.

Then everyone obviously accelerated the pace of exploration.

By the evening, the Meili had explored a total of 22 anomalous points that day, and found a total of 244 shipwreck items.

The most valuable items are several cannons, dozens of silver coins of sailing knights, and several pieces of gold jewelry.

One of the gold charms, featuring a large Colombian emerald and smaller emeralds, is worth $200 million alone.

In addition, the divers also discovered a piece of porcelain produced in Huaguo, which aroused the great interest of Zhao Wenmu and others.

"The Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty, it would be great if it was a chicken bowl cup!"

Zhao Wenmu looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand, his voice full of regret.

It's just an ordinary porcelain bowl with a big gap on the side, which makes it look like a beggar.

"There are still no key items to identify the wreck, and I have the feeling that these items belong to more than one shipwreck."

Meier touched a silver coin in his hand and said thoughtfully.

If he remembered correctly, this silver coin should have appeared later than the time when the Lady Atoka sank.

This is bad news.

Because it means the underwater might not be the Lady Atoka.

However, a turning point soon appeared.

Early the next morning, the sea was still calm, which was very conducive to salvage.

The divers found an unusual item on their first dive:

A fairly well-preserved rudder wheel.

It should be a handicraft, which looks a bit like a sun roulette, only about forty centimeters in diameter.Although there is rust, it is not serious, and the material should be bronze.

After cleaning the surface of the steering wheel a little, a line of text clearly appeared in front of everyone, and Mel, who was familiar with Spanish, immediately screamed out.

"The Royal Lady Atoka! It's the Lady Atoka, we've found her!"

He ran to the deck holding the steering wheel high with both hands, facing the shocked crew members, he said loudly:
"We've found the Lady Atoka!"

The boat suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy, people hugged each other, cheered and jumped.

Mel and Zhao Wenmu also hugged each other.

Zhao Wenqiu took the opportunity and secretly took the steering wheel.

Well, this is her collection!

Later, the discoverer of the Lady Atoka, the famous shipwreck salvage master Mr. Mel, had no choice but to ask someone to make a replica of the scale and put it at home.

In this way, he demonstrated his great achievements.

With this discovery, Mel immediately decided not to search step by step, but went straight to the two unusually dense spots.

After all, this is the high seas, and the treasure must be grasped as soon as possible to be at ease.

The first dense point was quickly explored, and the result was somewhat disappointing.

It is indeed an ancient shipwreck, but it is small in scale and there is not much of value visible to the naked eye.

Of course, as long as it is an ancient shipwreck, it must be valuable!

But everyone decided to move to another dense point first.

Finding the real Lady Atoka is a top priority!
The Meili reached the last concentration point, and at this time, all ten divers asked to go into the water.

Under normal circumstances, divers are divided into two teams and take turns to enter the water. Considering that the decompression takes a long time, the maximum efficiency can be maintained by taking turns to enter the water.

But this time everyone wanted to witness the miracle for the first time.

Mel did not refuse everyone's request.

Zhao Wenmu is just soy sauce, he will not dictate the salvage operation.

Ten divers were fully dressed and jumped into the water together. Even the engine of the Meili seemed to be running on overload, making a deafening roar.

Everyone's eyes widened.

The crew responsible for manipulating the crane is already ready to move, and the gondola has long been placed on the edge of the deck.

Zhao Wenqiu set up the camera, and together with Zhao Wenjun took on the role of cameraman, recording this moment of witnessing history with video data.

Time passed by every minute and every second, as if a century had passed.

Finally a diver surfaced.

"Silver ingots! All silver ingots!"

The diver shouted excitedly while pulling the oxygen mask on his face.

"yeah!"

There was a burst of cheers on the deck.

The divers confirmed that there was a huge sunken ship underwater, or the main part of the sunken ship. In the corner they had explored, it was full of mountains of silver ingots.

Of course, it may actually be tin ingots.

Everyone has tacitly forgotten this possibility.

The other divers are still underwater. After all, the number of times you can go into the water in a day is limited, and you don't want to waste any chance.

So Mel put on the diving suit himself, and guided the basket to slowly sink.

Ten minutes later, a signal was sent from underwater, and the crane winch began to rotate, and the huge hanging basket was slowly pulled to the surface of the sea.

After the gondola was placed on the deck smoothly, Zhao Wenmu and others immediately surrounded him.

I saw that the hanging basket was full of huge black metal bricks, one of which had a corner of the edge knocked off, revealing the silvery white inside.

Well, silvery white, very image.

Sure enough, it was a silver ingot.

Silver bricks to be exact.

Zhao Wenmu tried to move it, but it didn't move.

Each piece is about 40 kg.

Unlike other objects found before, the surface of these silver bricks is mostly relatively clean, and there is no sediment or aquatic coral shellfish stuck to the bottom of the sea.

Probably due to being stacked in the hold.

Although the ship capsized in the water, the cabin as a whole did not fall apart, and was directly buried in the sand more than one meter deep.

Everyone worked together to move the silver bricks to the deck.

Looking at the neatly stacked silver bricks, sisters Zhao Wenqiu and Zhao Wenjun opened their mouths slightly, and stood there dumbfounded for a long time without responding.

After ten seconds.

"Ah! Come on sister, come on, let's take a picture together!"

Zhao Wenqiu took Zhao Wenjun's hand and rushed into the pile of silver bricks. She gestured with scissors and smiled smirkly. Zhao Wenjun still couldn't hide the shock on his face.

Zhao Wenmu pressed the shutter and said with a smile:

"Where is this going? It will be spectacular when all the silver bricks are moved up!"

There were more than 50 silver bricks brought up by the hanging basket, which was actually only about two tons, which was far from the legendary dozens of tons!
According to the records, there are more than four tons of gold on the Madame Atoka alone!

After such a long time of immersion in seawater, the surface of silver has long been discolored, but gold does not have this problem.

Zhao Wenmu is looking forward to the spectacular moment when the BRIC comes out of the water!

Just when he was thinking this way, Zhao Wenqiu suddenly shouted in panic:

"Is that ship heading towards us!"
