Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 347 Salvage of the Deep Sea Treasure Ship (3)

Off the coast of Cuba, open sea waters.

Zhao Wenmu followed the sound and saw a huge oil tanker heading straight towards the Mei Li.

On the vast sea, even a giant tanker is like an insignificant canoe, and the little Merry is more like a leaf.

The oil tanker was still three or four nautical miles away from them. This distance sounded very far away, but in reality it was only a very short distance on such a large sea.

And for a huge ship like an oil tanker, the distance of three or four nautical miles is just enough to make a direction.

If this kind of big guy turns around at sea, it can't be done in dozens of nautical miles.

"First officer, immediately send a signal to the other party and ask them to change direction!"

Mel was still under the sea at the moment and couldn't come up for a while, so Zhao Wenmu immediately issued an order.

The Meili was anchored in place at this time, and could not retract the anchor and leave for a while.

The most important thing is that Meier and the divers are still underwater, and Meili must stay in place to ensure their safety.

Shipping in this water area is very busy, and various types of cargo ships can often be seen coming and going.In comparison, the Merry is tiny.

A few minutes later, the first officer ran to report in a panic.

"Mr. Zhao, the other party didn't answer!"

"Continue to communicate!"

"Signal to Mr. Meier to end the decompression and resume the dive. Then retract the anchor and be ready to start the ship at any time!"

Zhao Wenmu issued orders one after another.

Although this poses a certain risk to the health of the divers, it is better than being run over by the tanker when they surfaced.

The Meili immediately dropped a beacon on the spot.

The crew began to frantically draw in the anchor.

The towering bow of the oil tanker gradually enlarged in the field of vision. Zhao Wenqiu and Zhao Wenjun had already transferred to the yacht in a lifeboat. The yacht immediately turned on the maximum horsepower and circled in place to warn the oil tanker.

Finally, the tanker responded.

The chimney at the stern began to emit thick black smoke, indicating that its several thousand-ton diesel engines were already running at full power.

Even so, changing course is still an extremely difficult thing for it.

Zhao Wenqiu couldn't even tell with the naked eye whether it was turning or not.

She shouted loudly, telling Zhao Wenmu to evacuate immediately.

Zhao Wenmu was very calm. He called the first officer over and asked him to observe carefully.

After a while, the first officer nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Zhao, the tanker will not hit the Meili!"

Sure enough, as the chief mate judged, the tanker passed by more than 200 meters away from the Meili.

This distance is less than the length of the tanker!

When Mel came up and heard about it, he was also shocked.

"The other party must be a rookie captain, I bet some of them fell asleep! I must complain to them!"

Mel said angrily.

Then he happily ran to study the pile of silver bricks.

This time all the divers came up, after all they had been underwater for too long.

After a brief rest, the divers were divided into two groups again and began to salvage the treasure in an orderly manner.

The small deck of the Merry was soon filled with silver bricks.

By the evening of that day, the number of silver bricks salvaged exceeded 400!
The total weight is more than 8 tons!
There are also many other gold and silver coins and precious stones.

There is even a solid gold box that contains more than 20 gemstones of various colors.

Zhao Wenmu was immediately attracted by the huge blue diamond inside.

The diamond is as deep and blue as the sea, like an elegant goddess among a pile of colorful gemstones, exuding a dazzling light.

"My God!"

Mel, who has been hunting for treasure for many years, saw the extraordinaryness of this diamond at a glance.

Of course, everyone can see it.

After all, it is a diamond the size of a pigeon egg!
Although a bit exaggerated.

"This blue diamond is probably not from South America, but more likely from South Africa or India! Its quality is so perfect!"

Mel looked carefully at the diamond in his hand, and couldn't put it down.

This blue diamond weighs 42.77 carats!

You must know that the 44-carat Star of Hope blue diamond was already priced at 1947 million US dollars in 1500!
The valuation of this blue diamond is probably in the hundreds of millions of dollars!
"Haha, I'm so lucky! Guess where this golden box was found?"

Mel put the blue diamond back into the gold box, and then pushed the gold box to Zhao Wenmu.

In theory, all the treasures belong to Zhao Wenmu.

Mel only gets a fixed fee of $2000 million.

Zhao Wenmu took the box and put the blue diamond away carefully.

This diamond will not be sold, Zhao Wenmu will bring it back to China and give it to Zhao Jing.

In the past few days, he was actually looking for a suitable gift for Zhao Jing.

Several pieces of jewelry have been recovered from the wreck, some of them exquisite, including the Colombian emerald gold jewelry previously found.

But after all, Zhao Wenmu felt a little uncomfortable with the things used by the dead.

He thought that there must be rough gemstones in the Madam Atoka, and he would choose one and ask someone to make it into jewelry and give it to Zhao Jing.

Then came this fancy colored diamond.

This kind of luck is really the son of God!
"Oh? Isn't this gold box found in the cabin?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with a smile.

"Of course not! It was found not far from the cabin, and it was completely wrapped in a coral!"

Mel danced excitedly.

Speaking of the process of discovering the golden box, it is indeed full of chance.

Treasure hunting is like this, it is a process full of various accidents.

"When you sent a signal to let everyone dive again, a team member accidentally deviated from his position, descended to a distance of more than ten meters from the sunken ship, and then accidentally stepped on a dead coral."

"It turned out to be this box, haha, God bless!"

Mel laughed heartily.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly realized, no wonder the box looked a bit shriveled, it turned out that it had just been stepped on, and he didn't seem to have heard of this diamond in his previous life!
It is estimated that it was not discovered at all.

If it is the arrangement of fate, this blue diamond is prepared for Zhao Jing!
Well, definitely so.

Zhao Wenmu was in a great mood at the moment, and she handed the box to Zhao Wenqiu.

"Xiaoqiu, you and your second sister choose a few pieces, and when you get ashore, find someone to make jewelry for you!"

The precious stones in this box were of very good quality, so he decided to use them all to make jewelry for his loved ones.

He roughly guessed in his heart that it was likely that when the ship was wrecked, the dignitaries in the ship jumped out of the ship with their beloved gold box in their hands, so the gold box fell not far outside the cabin.

Then over time, it is slowly enveloped by the corals that grow on it.

If it hadn't been for a long time, the dead coral would have been very fragile and would definitely not be crushed by divers.

A series of accidents finally led to the fact that this box of gems from nowhere became Zhao Wenmu's trophy.

"One cabin has been cleared today. According to the layout of the Lady Atoka, there are at least five cabins waiting to be discovered! I am especially looking forward to the innermost cabin, hoping that there will be legendary gold and gems there!"

Mel looked expectant.

"Of course, there must be some inside!"

Zhao Wenmu patted Mel on the shoulder.

"Come on, Mr. Mel! I guarantee you will get far more than 2000 million dollars this time!"
